The "diffusion of reaction," part of the "bystander effect (also known as bystander apathy, Genovese syndrome, diffused responsibility or bystander intervention) is a psychological phenomenon in which someone is less likely to intervene in an emergency situation when other people are present and able to help than when he or she is alone," says Wikipedia.
It defines a psychological tenet that the more people you have witnessing a natural tragedy, crime or accident, the less anyone is likely to do a damn thing about it, even shuffle their feet. Witness the famous Kitty Genovese story that took place in Kew Gardens, Queens, on March 13, 1964. The 28-year old Genovese was seen by some 38 of her neighbors as her murderer methodically stabbed her to death.
Last week in Kings County Hospital psychiatric emergency room in Brooklyn, a 49-year-old woman sitting in a chair, waiting for care, fell to the floor and died, while several seated persons got up and simply walked away. This while another woman slept through it all. It's all caught by a video camera.
When finally, after a long while, a security guard sees her lying there, he goes for help. It takes some time before the guard returns with an orderly and a gurney. As the dead woman is being put on the gurney, the sleeping woman wakes and is angered that she is not put on the gurney and cared for, instead of the dead woman.
Of course the deceased's family is shocked by the indifference of their fellow beings, and are now suing the hospital, which has began investigating the actions of its security and medical staff.
Wikepedia also described the diffusions of reactions in "hierarchical organizations as when, for example, underlings claim that they were following orders and supervisors claim that they were just issuing directives and not doing anything per se." Duh, I don't know, nobody told me what to do? Duh, what was I supposed to tell them? Duh, we're just ducks in a row. It seems to echo the Kings County Hospital tragedy.
The concepts of the "diffusion of reaction" and "bystander effect," taken a step further, criss-cross with the brilliant psychologist Stanley Milgram's experiment on disobedience. Milgram contended and proved that given a Voice of Authority commanding even conscionable, decent people could do awful things to their fellow human beings when they blindly listened to The Voice, even when they heard victims scream and plead for mercy they continued, just so long as The Voice of Authority kept asserting, do it, do it, do it.
Milgram, deeply moved by the trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem, devised his experiment with college students to question whether "Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders."
As Milgrim wrote, "If at any time the subject indicated his desire to halt the experiment, he was given a succession of verbal prods by the experimenter, in this order:
"Please continue.
"The experiment requires that you continue.
"It is absolutely essential that you continue.
"You have no other choice, you must go on."
The Wikipedia entry adds, "If the subject still wished to stop after all four successive verbal prods, the experiment was halted. Otherwise, it was halted after the subject had given the maximum 450-volt shock three times in succession. This experiment itself raised some ethical issues as Stanley Milgram deceived his study's subjects, and put them under more pressure than many believe was necessary . . ." (You may read the experiment's full details by clicking on the Milgram link.)
That said, 65 percent of the experiment participants administered the full final 450-volt shock, though many felt uneasy doing so. In fact, at some point every participant stopped and questioned the experiment. Some claimed they would give back the money paid for taking part in it. Yet no participant really steadfastly turned down administering shocks before the 300-volt level. So how much infliction of pain does it take for one being to realize his/her humanity?
The experiment was repeated and performed by other psychologists, with variations, throughout the world with similar results: 60 to 66 percent of participants were ready to inflict fatal voltages, regardless of time or place. What's more, no participants refused to administer the final shock or demanded that the experiment be ended. Nor did they leave their isolated room to check on the health of the victim, that is, without asking for permission to leave.
Milgram made a documentary film called Obedience which showed the experiment and its eerie results. Now, do we tie these conclusions solely to Germans acting robotically during the holocaust or our own confessed "torture performers" in the CIA, FBI, or US Army, who say they were all acting on approved orders from The Voice of Authority from the Top? And this is the point.
Combined with the average TV viewers' willingness to turn from the news of Iraq, where bodies are being blown into smithereens, to the sports news or a cooking or "reality" show, we have a magnificent portrait of "diffusion reactions," "bystander effects," all under the compelling Voice of Authority, whether it is Bush himself, Cheney, Condi, or the Aryan anchormen and women, blond, well-coiffed, uniformly suited, high-heeled, the male counterparts in pinstriped suits, tailored shirts, and silk ties, the paradigms of authority, class, cash, and command.
The question is, how do we stimulate the conscience, the will to do right, the ethical ego, the conscious knowledge of right from wrong from the manipulation of the lower impulses of folk at all levels of society? I think this is the key to taking back this society from "The War on Terror," whose terrorist originators keep the population in fear, angst, and mechanical obeisance.
How else to explain our own people lied into the Iraq war, armies attacking Afghanistan and Iraq, armies of young people being asked to kill and maim, to commit blinding atrocities. And they obey. And they pay, with wounds of the body and wounds of the mind, haunted, until they are blotto with antidepressants and other drugs. They are shocked bystanders, their reactions diffused by the thousands who fight with them, thinking someone will speak up, someone will put a halt to the carnage. Yet no one does. It goes on and on and on . . .
"Please continue.
"The experiment requires that you continue.
"It is absolutely essential that you continue.
"You have no other choice, you must go on."
And those who were meant to go home, do not. They are told they must stay and fight more. And we surge into more bloodshed, only to reveal that last month we had the highest death toll in Afghanistan since the war began. Again, how do we defeat The Voice of Authority, not just Bush, but the concept, the herd instinct to follow some deadhead lemming into the sea? What training does it take to teach people to think, act, speak for themselves?
Was the search for democracy and its institutions (many of which are now summarily dismissed) . . . was that search not to climb from under the thumb of an insane King George III. Were the nobles who gathered round an earlier king to sign the Magna Carta striving, too, to silence The Voice of Authority? Has our time here on this planet, the evolution of our consciousness, been to free us from apathy, indifference, random violence, to see our humanity in the looking glass? Can we find that original responsive self or are we doomed to be robots?
Think about it. You don't need to continue with the experiment. It is not absolutely essential that you continue. You have another choice. You don't have to go on, soldier, politician, policeman, priest. You can always find freedom, original choice, in the space of your imagination, in your heart's compassion, in the willingness, the courage to disagree. One might say your life depends on it, not to mention your soul.

Berry ice is also easy to make and will look perfect at your 4th of July BBQ. It also adds a special touch to any drink on a hot summer day after all nothing quenches my thirst more than a big glass of water. At our BBQ's we always seem to go through more pitchers of water than any other beverage (ok, maybe head to head with beer). Water can look kind of boring, even with a pretty straw and some people like just a hint of flavor. That's where these beautiful berry ice cubes come in handy. They make your water pretty, keep it cold and add just enough flavor to make it special. Keep reading for directions and other ideas for berry ice…
Berry Ice
1/2 cup fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries
filtered water
ice cube trays (I like these)
Place one layer of blueberries and raspberries into the bottom of the tray, cover with water to the halfway mark. Freeze for 2 hours or until mostly frozen. Remove and place another layer of berries, cover with water and place back into freezer for 4 hours. For the strawberries I chose smaller berries and popped them in whole, taking up the entire cube, the covering with water. Freeze for 4 hours.
The variations are endless so have fun and experiment! Some of our favorites are lemonade with berries for our lemonade. Iced tea with berries for our iced tea. Sometimes I just freeze whole berries or buy a bag of frozen raspberries and add them to a pitcher of lemonade which is always a hit with kids and adults. For the over 21 crowd, lemonade with berries mixed into cocktail or champagne is delish!

While speaking with some One Seed Chicago participants on Twitter we learned that many of you hadn't sown your basil seeds. We understand that life can get in the way of gardening, but there is still time to sow the One Seed Chicago 2012 winner in your garden. Yes, it's summer, but it's a good time to sow a second season crop of basil seeds.
You thought you could only sow seeds in the spring?
Sowing basil seeds now will extend your basil harvest late into the fall. If you have kids, sowing your basil seeds with them will help keep them busy for a few moments and teach them about the life cycle of seeds.
Inside of your One Seed Chicago 2012 seed packet you'll find information on sowing your seeds, but we'll briefly explain it here.
Sowing Basil Seeds With Kids
Open the seed packet you got in the mail or an event this spring. Have your little gardener read the information to give him/her a mini-lesson on growing basil.
We used natural fiber pots with our garden helper, but you can sow your basil seeds in plastic cup, deli container or a newspaper seed starting pot. Moisten the soil a bit with a bottle sprater before adding the seeds.
After moistening the soil add a couple of seeds per container, and give it another good spray from the bottle sprayer. Set the seeds in a warm window. The seeds should germinate in about a week due to the warmer temperatures of summer versus spring.
Give your garden helper the job of checking the seeds daily for sprouting. Make sure your seeds don't dry out while they are germinating, but you don't want the soil to be soggy either. After the basil seeds have sprouted, plant them in the garden and remember to keep them nice and watered!
Sowing Basil Seeds Without Kids
You can sow your basil seeds directly in the garden following the instructions we provided in the One Seed Chicago seed packet. Sow the seeds in the garden bed, container, or raised bed you want them to grow. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and keep them moist until they germinate. After the seeds have sprouted water accordingly.
There's a wide variety of basil seeds available to home gardeners, and you can sow them all now in the garden for a late season harvest. If you're looking for more basil seeds check out the selection sold by Nature's Crossroad's, our One Seed Chicago seed sponsor for 2012. They generously provided us with the basil seeds sent out to every One Seed Chicago participant.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- State Rep. Alvin Holmes of Montgomery said he was robbed last month while trying to pay for gas at a Montgomery convenience store.
Holmes said he was standing in line at the store on the corner of Rosa Parks Avenue and Fairview Avenue. He said he took $300 out of his shirt pocket, and a man standing near him in line grabbed the money from his hand and ran.
"He shot out of that door so quick it was like lightning," Holmes said.
Holmes said the man has not been caught. He said a Montgomery police detective told him they believe they know who the man is.Holmes said he was told the store's security camera appeared to show that the man had been watching him while he waited in line.
"I'd like to have my $300 back," said Holmes, who has been in the news lately for calling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom" and for comments he made during a House debate today on abortion bills.

The Camisea Gas Project extracts and transports natural gas originating near the Urubamba River in central Peru, the San Martín Reservoir.
In July 1981 the Peruvian government signed an oil contract for blocks 38 and 42 with Royal Dutch Shell. The contract covered approximately 20,000 square kilometres (7,700 sq mi) in the southern part of the Ucayali Basin.[citation needed] The Camisea gas fields were discovered in 1986 by Shell.[1] By 1987, two non-associated natural gas fields, San Martín and Cashiriari, were approved economically feasible. In March 1988, the preliminary agreement on exploration was signed between Petroperú and Shell. However, the talks ended in August of that year without reaching a final agreement.[citation needed]
Shell and Petroperú signed the agreement for the assessment and development of the Camisea fields in March 1994.[citation needed] A consortium of Shell and Mobil started to develop the fields, but cancelled all projects in Peru in July 1998, due to political concerns.[2] Six drilled wells and facilities went to the Peruvian State. For this reason, in May 1999, the Commission for the Promotion of Private Investment agrees to conduct a promotional process to develop the Camisea project through a scheme involving independent modules segmented business. In 1999, it adopted the Law No. 27133 with an assured supply of the domestic market by a "permanent horizon of 20 years." In late May 1999, the Special Committee of Camisea Project (CECAM) convened two international public tender for awarding the contract for the exploitation of Camisea, concessions and transport of liquids and gas from these fields to the coast and gas distribution in Lima and Callao.[citation needed]
In December 2000, contracts were signed for the project development with an international consortium which now includes of Pluspetrol (27.2%), Hunt Oil Company (25.2%) SK Corporation (17.6%), Repsol YPF (10%), Tecpetrol (10%), and Sonatrach (10%).[2]The key legal advisors in the transaction were Jaime Malagón, Jerome Jakubik, Paul Slocomb, and Víctor M. Marroquín of Baker & McKenzie, the international law firm retained by the Peruvian Government to advise on all privatization processes. In early May 2002, signed the concession contract for the transportation and distribution of gas from Camisea. In 2003 promulgating the DS 031-MS, eliminating the phrase "permanent horizon of 20 years" of Law No. 27133 and replacing it with "a minimum period specified in the contract." In June 2005 approving the Law 28 552, which amends Law 27133, disappears the phrase "permanent horizon of 20 years" and instead supply guarantees are mentioned in general terms. This made possible to allocate 100% of the Block 56 reserves for export. Since the Block 56 was not sufficient for export commitment again make the policy changes necessary to also dispose of Lot 88, for the domestic market. In December 2005 promulgating the 2005 EM 050 DS. In the preamble to the DS was explicitly stated that having the Act amended 28552 Article 4 of Law 27133 in relation to supplying the domestic market, authorizing Perupetro to renegotiate the contract for Block 88 to allow its proven reserves are exported.[citation needed]
The development plan was carried-out under the government of President Alejandro Toledo and the gas fields became operational in August 2004.[1]
Gas fields[edit]
Gas fields are located in Ucayali Basin. According to data verified by the international energy consulting firm Gaffney, Cline & Associates, the Camisea gas fields contain about 13.4 trillion cubic feet (380×109 m3) of natural gas and 482 million barrels (76.6×106 m3) of natural gas liquids.[1]
There are two pipelines carrying natural gas from the Camisea gas fields. The 540-kilometre (340 mi) Camisea pipeline traverses through the steep Andes mountains, and terminates within the Paracas National Reservation (Ica Region) at the Pisco terminal. It passes through the Malvinas plant, where liquefied petroleum gas (propane and heavier liquids) is separated from natural gas.[1][3] The pipeline has capacity of 450 million cubic feet per day (13×106 m3/d).[4] The second 714-kilometre (444 mi) natural gas pipeline runs from Malvinas along the coast to Lima and Callao for distribution to residents and industries in the capital city.[1] LPG is exported through the Pisco terminal. This pipeline system is operated by Transportadora de Gas Peruano, a consortium of Tecgas, Pluspetrol, Hunt Oil Company, SK Corporation, Sonatrach and Grana y Montero.[3]
In April 2007, Suez Energy and Kuntur Gas Transport unveiled rival proposals for pipelines to carry Camisea gas to southern Peru.[5]
Law 27133 was amended by Supreme Decree 050-2005, 006-2006 and 031-2004, both given by the Ministry of Energy and Mines. Those rules were signed by Alejandro Toledo, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and Jaime Quijandria. This conduct would be unconstitutional because the President would have issued a Supreme Decree (No. 050-2005 and 006-2006) in open distortion of the law (Law 27,133), thus violating Article 118 (paragraph 8) of the Constitution, rule setting corresponding to the president, exercising the power of regulating laws without violating or distorting. For the above irregularities are accused former officials of the crimes of extortion, collusion, unfair and abuse of authority.[citation needed]

UN has called for the 'immediate suspension' of any plans to expand the Camisea Gas project, due to the high likelihood that by further intrusion into the Nahua-Nanti Reserve, several uncontacted and isolated tribes who live in the territory could be placed at risk of disease and death, as well as extreme scarcity brought on by disruption to game animals. The territory also servers as a buffer zone for Manu National Park, considered by UNESCO to be 'the most biodiverse place on earth.'[7]

Really friendly people and great location, recommend to anyone
The location
One of the best places to stay in Austria. The pension is like a fairy tale, wooden, full of flowers and the owner is the cutest old lady you have seen ever. The country side is beautiful full of trees and grass. You feel more like you have been invited there. Its cozy, warm, clean, economic and you can sit the evenings at the front yard drinking your coffee and talking with the other guests like you are a group of old friends. Unforgetable!!!
The room was very big and very clean and beautifuly arranged. The staff is more than friendly and would always make you feel welcome. They are very nice people and the atmosphere is great.
The staff was really excelent,and rooms are great.
Were made to feel very welcome and no trouble was to much to make our stay as pleasant as possible.
The owner was extremely friendly and very helpful. Spoke excellent English and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend this accommodation
Everything at Haus Obermoos is great - just as it is promised on the website. The village of Filzmoos is as Austrian as it can get, beautiful mountains and nature all around. Great place for hiking in the summer. We didn't expect a swimming pool/spa as there isn't one at the house but we got free tickets to the village pool for our entire stay which was a really pleasant surprise. There is plenty to do in the vicinity. Salzburg is about a 45 minute drive.
Fantastic staff
Very convenient for Filzmoos skilift. Ample parking. Rooms OK. Food quality very good. Wellnes area and Saunas in good condition
Service in the restaurant was unsatisfactory. It was not only slow but disorganised and 2 memebrs of staff were actually rude. 3 members of a mature family group had cause to complain. Management's response was to give reasons rather than accept the concerns and apologise - so this may not be an isolated incident. A pity as the hotel has many positives
Hotel was great, hotel staff were very friendly and was run by an English family. Rate includes half board, breakfast and dinner. View from hotel was fantastic. Perfect weekend getaway.
Nice views and nice sauna and steam room.
Too crowded.
the view, rooms, some of the facilities like the main building where breakfast is served and so on
it was hard to find by night and is heavily reachable

Drug, media message given to athletes
WHEELING – A new campaign meant to educate student-athletes about the dangers of drugs and social media kicked off Thursday at Wheeling Island Stadium.
U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld, Drug Enforcement Agency Special Agent Craig Knight, Wheeling Park High School Athletic Director Dwaine Rogers, Wheeling Park football coach Chris Dougherty, Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Vogrin and Ziegenfelder Chief Financial Officer Kevin Heller made the announcement before holding their first program for Wheeling Park's football team. Heller's company provided BudgetSaver Twin Pops during the event.
Dubbed "Project Future Two-a-Days," the talk included information about why even holding drugs for a friend can land a person in federal prison for up to 20 years; why "sexting" can also become a federal crime; and how one's actions today can impact their future because once it is posted on the Internet, it stays there.
"Two-a-Days" refers to football teams holding two practice sessions a day before their regular season starts.
"We're going to give students an inside look into drugs and alcohol and social media. They can lead to very volatile situations, and the people of the Ohio Valley know this all too well," Ihlenfeld said during a press conference on the field.
During the program held inside the team locker room, Ihlenfeld gave several examples of high school and college athletes who seemed to have everything going for them before getting mixed up with drugs and alcohol. Some of them went to jail, while others died because of their actions.
"If you are 18 or older, the potential for trouble ramps up. … Don't hang around with someone who is involved with that stuff," Ihlenfeld said.
For example, if a friend asks one to hold 20 Oxycontin pills for them, that is considered possession and punishable by up to 20 years in prison, he said. Vogrin said texting nude photos of minors also is a felony.
"Once you send a message, you have no control over where it ends up," Vogrin said. "Once it's out there, it's out there forever."
He added even if one has deleted a message or picture from one's phone, it can be recovered.
"There are ways to find those messages – they leave a digital fingerprint," Vogrin said.
Ihlenfeld said several other schools' football teams and other fall sports teams will be visited this month and given the same presentation. Football teams will include Wheeling Central, John Marshall, Hundred, Brooke, Magnolia and Cameron. Fall sports teams will include Oak Glen, Weir and Paden City.
Ihlenfeld conceded the program was prompted not only by the increasing deaths among young people due to prescription painkiller and heroin use, but by the Steubenville case involving two high school football players who were convicted of raping a Weirton girl. In that case, text messages and texted photos played an integral role.
Ma'Lik Richmond was sentenced to at least a year in the state juvenile detention system. Trent Mays was sentenced to at least two years in juvenile detention. He also was convicted of using his phone to photograph the underage girl naked. The two were found guilty by Judge Thomas Lipps in March.
The case drew international attention because of the role of text messages and social media in exposing the attack and led to allegations of a cover-up to protect the Steubenville High School football team.
The girl, who had been drinking heavily, has no memory of the attack. One of the ways she learned that something had happened to her was by viewing parts of a 12-minute YouTube video filmed the night of the attack in which students made crude jokes about her.
On Monday, a grand jury that has been meeting in Steubenville is set to resume its investigation into whether more laws were broken in the girl's rape. One of the key issues is whether adults who are required to report crimes knew early on of the rape last August but didn't say anything.
"We're not just targeting football players. It's open to all athletes, but it made the most sense to start here. This is for males and females," he said.

Campaign advocates for increased coverage for treatments of PKU
An Ontario man is hoping the Newfoundland and Labrador government will take notice of his recently-completed bike ride across Canada and find a way to increase funding for people who suffer from a rare metabolic disease.
Kevin Dube completed his two month journey Sunday in St. John's, a ride he took on in aid of phenylketonuria (PKU). One year ago, his newborn niece Avery was diagnosed with PKU. The ailment makes it difficult to break down protein containing phenylalanine, an amino acid that's toxic to the brain. It is believed to affect one in 12,000 people.
"It's lifesaving to have it detected early on," said Dube. "If (Avery) wasn't diagnosed, there could be huge issues for her with her brain."
All babies are screened for PKU, and in the case of Avery, the Ontario government helps cover the cost of the synthetic formula she drinks to stay healthy. If not treated following birth, the disease can lead to a severe intellectual disability. Later in life, it can cause seizures, intellectual disabilities and other health problems.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, coverage for PKU treatments vary.
The provincial health plan offers coverage for two formulas up to the age of 18 years.
Beyond the age of 18, formula costs can be subsidized depending on an individual's level of income.
A one-pound can of synthetic formula such as Phenyl Free 2 can cost $45. John Robinson, a local man suffering from PKU, told The Telegram earlier this year it takes him a day and a half to get through the contents of one can.
A prescription medication called KUVAN can lower phenylalanine levels in a person's blood and is the first prescription drug of its kind. Approved by Health Canada in 2010, it is not covered by many provincial drug programs.
"Three provinces have listed it — Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec," said John Adams, president and CEO of CanPKU. Dube's ride, dubbed "Avery's Ride for PKU," aided the non-profit organization to the tune of over $60,000.
According to Adams, new scientific evidence due to come out in the fall should prove helpful in convincing other governments to get on board with covering KUVAN under a provincial drug program.
"Ontario and Saskatchewan have negotiated the best price in the world for it, and that price is available to other provinces," said Adams, who noted the prescription cost is generally unaffordable on an individual basis — a two-week supply can cost more than $9,000.
"The drug is expensive. It's a budget buster for a family unless you have private insurance."
Adams has seen first-hand the benefits of the drug through his adult son. He started taking KUVAN eight years ago.
"He had a learning disability and went through high school taking an extra year. Had trouble with organization, focus, attention and multi-tasking. He went through university with a reduced course-load, typically four instead of five courses (per term). After being on the drug for a year, he was two years behind his peers in school, and he felt more capable than he ever did before in his life. In his final year, he was eight credits short ... and he didn't get Bs and Cs, he got straight As. We know his brain works much, much better. You have a better chance
at reaching your potential as a human being."
Adams met with Liberal health critic Andrew Parsons last fall to discuss PKU. Parsons later wrote to then Health minister Susan Sullivan to request information on PKU services.
Speaking with The Telegram earlier this year, Parsons said he received a letter informing him the province had been in touch with the makers of KUVAN through the Atlantic Common Drug Review.
At that time, it was waiting to receive additional information from the manufacturer.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP – February is acknowledged by the United States Congress as Career and Technical Education month, and two teachers at Washington Township High School are using that signification to add to their curriculum.
In Business Education teacher Sara Simpson's class, students will be creating "running resumes." Students will learn about creating career objectives, complete a career quiz, research a possible job they may be interested in, and will create a resume catered to that career goal. These "running resumes" will be saved on the students network drive throughout their time at Washington Township, providing them easy access to continually update and change their resume based on their ongoing achievements and accomplishments.
Also in Simpson's classes, students will participate in the Fairleigh Dickinson University/Rothman Institute Entrepreneurial New Business Idea Competition. This is the 10th year of this competition, which features new or improved business ideas from students in New Jersey, who are judged on their creativity and persuasiveness in the development and pitch of their new product or business. Students are eligible to win cash prizes ranging from $100 to $600. In the past three years, five WTHS students have been cash-winning finalists.
Meanwhile, in Mrs. Debra Kaplan's Family & Consumer Science classes, Mr. Ronald Cordaro is scheduled to visit the classroom for a hands-on demonstration. Cordaro is an Executive Pastry Chef at Ace Conference Center in Lafayette Hill, Pa., who graduated from the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill in 1993. While Mr. Cordaro was a student, he trained under Robert Bennett, who was the Executive Pastry Chef under Georges Perrier at five-star restaurant Le Bec Fin. Kaplan met Cordaro when she was a student at the Restaurant School in 1999, and Cordaro hired Kaplan to work at his establishment.
"Both lessons really enhance what all of our CTE/Practical Arts teachers do every day for our students to be ready for college and careers," Supervisor of Business Education Steve Whalen said.
For more information on Career and Technical Education month please visit the Association for Career and Technical Education website at www.acteonline.org/ctemonth.aspx

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Figure skating isn't just about singles or pairs anymore. There's a new wrinkle to the sport--synchronized skating--which is growing in popularity around the world.
A team of fifteen skaters from the Birmingham Figure Skating Club is representing the sport this weekend as it competes in the 2014 Midwestern and Pacific Coast Synchronized Skating Section Championship in Chicago. The Southern Magic synchronized team, which practices at the Pelham Ice Arena, is made up of girls aged 9-17 who perform a choreographed program together.
According to coach Michelle Badgley, the sport requires several elements to be successful; these are things that her team focuses on to be its very best.
"The variety and difficulty of elements requires that each team member is a highly skilled individual skater," she said.
Required elements in each performance include blocks, circles, wheels, lines, intersections, moves in the field, moves in isolation, no-hold step sequences, spins and pairs moves.
"It uses the same judging system as singles, pairs and dance and is characterized by teamwork, speed, intricate formations and challenging step sequences," Badgley said.
The Birmingham team is made up of girls who are already individual figure skaters, but who wanted something more--to be part of a competitive group.
Badgley said that they have learned to work together, and are improving competition by competition.
"This team is great about working together," she said. "They all started off at such different levels and complement each other well on the ice."
"There are so many benefits to participating in a team sport, and synchronized skating is a great for figure skaters to compete in a sport they love while also being in a team-oriented sport," she said.
Deborah Lockridge's daughter, 11-year-old Capra, has only been skating just a little over two years. She was excited, she said, to be invited to be on the synchronized team.
"It's a lot of fun," Lockridge said. "And the things some of these teams do is just amazing."
Gina Myers is mother to two skaters on the team. Her daughters, 17-year-old Mary Elizabeth (Meme) and 15-year-old Anna Cate Myers, have been doing synchronized skating for six years. They commute from Montgomery to participate on the team.
They are both single figure skaters as well, but she said that they love the team element of the sport.
"The girls love that when they are out there as a team on the ice, all the attention is not on them individually," Myers said. "They have to all work together, and succeed as a team."
The sport is growing in popularity around the world, but the Birmingham team has found themselves to often be the lone Southern representative at competitions.
"People kept asking us where we were from," Myers said of the team's participation two weeks ago at the Mid America Synchronized Skating Classic in Frasier, Michigan. "It's definitely not a southern thing. The closest team to us was from Kentucky."
"It's a global sport and there's been talk of it making it into the Olympics," she said. "We're unique, and we were proud to represent Alabama."
The team came in sixth place in their age and skill division at the contest in Michigan. Badgley said they are looking to improve at the Midwestern and Pacific Coast competition.
"We are hoping to do that well or better this weekend," she said.
Members of the team are Ann Charles, Marilyn Evans, Eleanor Forbes, Emma Lamoureux, Capra Lockridge, Mary Virginia McKinley, Sydney Mezick, Anna Cate Myers, Meme Myers, Lane Schifano, Emily Taylor, Allison Waites, Natalie Waites, Lexi Walton and Kelsey Wilson.
(Stay tuned here for updates on the team's results, as they begin competition Friday afternoon.)

Hi I'm Dorian Cundick
About Me
I'm a single professional, working in the Washington, D.C.area-- the fourth time I've lived in Virginia. I've lived all over the US and abroad, and am fluent in Portuguese thanks to my LDS mission to Portugal and Cape Verde, West Africa. Not the most useful language, granted, but a lot of great people speak Portuguese, and I'm glad I can hold a conversation with them. I'm a former TV reporter who keeps up her journalism skills doing documentary work for both corporate and non-profit organizations. My day job is traveling the world teaching corporate communications executives how to do their jobs better. I also taught high school for a few years, and find teenagers endlessly amusing. I'm a violinist, an athlete, an appreciator of a good mountain and the occasional beach. All things are made better, in my book, by family, and one of the biggest advantages of still being single is that it's a lot easier to hop in a car or on the plane to track them down.
Why I am a Mormon
I have an admitted genetic head-start for being Mormon-- I'm sixth generation LDS on both sides of my family, a pioneer lineage in every sense. But as anyone who has ever seriously considered their spirituality is well-aware, seriously following faith at some point must become a conscious choice. I am Mormon because I can in my earliest memories recall feeling my Heavenly Father's love in answer to my prayers. I have felt confirmation and seen positive results in my life as I have studied and applied the principles of the Gospel, drawing from all sources of knowledge and inspiration, including personal prayer, scriptural accounts in the Bible and Book of Mormon, and counsel from a living prophet and Apostles. I have been able to turn to my understanding of the Savior's teachings to guide me in making good decisions. The more I study and learn about the Gospel, the more I recognize and know how to embrace all the good in the world around me. I am Mormon because the pure doctrine and love of Christ help me be more loving, more patient, more tolerant, more forgiving-- more of everything that is good. My faith and relationship with God expand my heart and vision, while my understanding of God's commandments guides me to know how to channel that love in a way to maximize happiness for me and those I cross paths with.
Personal Stories
Please explain the part prayer plays in your life?
My ability to talk to my Heavenly Father at any time, under any circumstances, is really the source of all my confidence and security. My whole life I have been able to feel and see His answers to my prayers-- and that track record means that, even for those times where it's incredibly hard to tell He's listening, I know He is. I pray a lot-- on my knees in private in the morning and at night before bed, and whenever I need to just in my head and heart as I go about my day-- an ongoing conversation with my Heavenly Father. One other aspect of prayer I think is super-important, since it's had such an impact on me: hearing others pray, especially praying in families, does wonders to build faith and love and, in many cases, teach. I clearly remember kneeling in family prayer when I was about eight-- it was the evening after the Pope had been shot, and my mom prayed that the Pope would be blessed to recover. I was totally confused, since clearly the Pope was on the wrong team. My mom took a minute to explain to us that we should always pray for all good people everywhere-- Heavenly Father loves all his children. That lesson significantly shifted my world view then, and has stayed with me my entire life.
How I live my faith
I've been asked to teach in various capacities in my church since I was 19. I've taught classes for little children favorite lesson in the manual, on the Creation: "I Am Grateful for Fish. I've taught early morning seminary class for high school kids at 5:35 each morning. I've taught evening classes on random Gospel topics for adults, and Sunday School classes in congregations from Africa to Virginia to New Mexico. I currently oversee teachers as I serve in the presidency of our women's organization, which looks out for the temporal and spiritual needs of around a hundred women in our congregation. Still, I hope the substance of how I live my faith goes far beyond these formal opportunities. I try to live my faith primarily in keeping my relationship with God my top priority, doing those daily things that keep me connected to my Savior. I try to live my faith in treating others the way the Savior would-- and correcting course as quickly as I can when I mess up. I try to live my faith in taking seriously the Savior's guidance that all good things come from God, and we should be out looking for the people and the ideas that draw us close to him, no matter what form they may take. My faith is a lens through which I view my world moment to moment, make my decisions, choose my actions, express myself. And when I am true to the principles it teaches me, I am better, more loving, more complete.

HEY! Harsh, very harsh. If he stands outside the Home Depot, someone would hire him.
Of course not. I am in the same boat as you are..
The difference is.......
I don't have to be employed. I live of me.....and so do you, you parasite m'fers...So do you!
Thank Obama for that not me!
What really happened to Mallen is that he was asked to leave and they paid him off. All they really had to have done is to ask him to produce an I 9 form, which he could not produce.
But if Mallen believes in his fantasy, who are we to question the mentally ill, after all his spouse is a psychologist and he is a great case study.
dosn`t he drive a tow truck that does most of its work towing recalled imports back to service dept?
Never was. He is living his own fantasy life out on the GM message. All lies.

Ash Ketchum, Brock and Dawn are on their way to a Pokémon championship in Crown City but rescue the shapeshifting, mischievous Zorua from a group of Vigoroth, Zorua able to speak English through telepathy. Zorua wishes to go to Crown City to find its mother Zoroark who it refers to as "Meema". Zorua's shapeshifting skills are compromised by the constant presence of its tail, touching it reverting Zorua to normal. The next day, Celebi appears in town and causes all the flowers to bloom, much to the delight of several townsfolk, who recall a mysterious event that happened twenty years where all the plant life died.
Meanwhile, businessman Grings Kodai unleashes the imprisoned Zoroark upon the city, pretending to hold Zorua prisoner. Kodai is aided by his assistant Rowena and bodyguard Goone. Zoroark uses her illusion powers to take the form of Raikou, Entei and Suicune and scare the townsfolk; Kodai editing recorded footage of her to make it look like the fake Pokémon are on the rampage and labels Zoroark as evil.
Ash, Dawn, Brock and Zorua arrive, seeing Zoroark on television, Zorua trying to reach the cut-off town. They meet Karl, a local journalist investigating Kodai, who leads them into town through a hidden passage in a windmill. Kodai is revealed to be able to see into the future, caused by an encounter with Celebi twenty years ago where he touched the Time Ripple, created when Celebi time travels, gaining his powers of foresight, causing the destruction of the town's plants in the process. Kodai is looking for the Time Ripple again, and has Goone recapture Zoroark, having a vision that Ash, Dawn, Brock, Karl and an unknown woman will stop him.
The group meet Karl's grandfather Joe and his friend Tammy, who explain Celebi used to visit the town before the plant life died. Zorua runs off on its own to find Zoroark, finding the other Pokémon are hostile towards it, but Celebi appears and befriends Zorua, Pikachu and Piplup. Ash and co. are captured by Kodai, but Rowena releases them, actually Karl's fellow journalist working undercover to find out Kodai's plan.
Rowena explains Kodai's past, and how the Time Ripple will linger for a day after Celebi time travels, Kodai planning to absorb its power again to replenish his fading foresight. Kodai has a vision that Celebi will show him the Time Ripple, and he targets it and Zorua. Zoroark escapes her prison, just as the real Legendary Beasts arrive in town and engage Zoroark in a fight. Kodai harms Celebi, seeing more of the future. Ash and co. arrive, Kodai realising Rowena is the woman in his vision. The group flee with Zorua and Celebi, meeting up with Joe and Tammy, where it is revealed the location of the Time Ripple is in the local stadium, Kodai eavesdropping on the conversation and races for the stadium. While Karl and the others stop the fighting between Zoroark and the Legendary Beasts, Ash, Dawn, Brock, Pikachu, Zorua and Celebi head for the stadium.
Dawn and Brock fight Goone and his Pokémon, aided by Zoroark, who then join Ash and his friends at the stadium. Kodai takes Zorua captive and threatens to kill it unless the heroes do not back off, before absorbing part of the Time Ripple and replenishes his power, gloating about how he has fooled the townsfolk twice with his media manipulations. However, Zoroark reveals his victory was an illusion she created, with Karl and Rowena recording Kodai's boast to the public. Kodai tries to reach the Time Ripple but is blocked by the Legendary Beasts, and his attempt to escape fails.
Zoroark dies from exhaustion, but Celebi ventures into the Time Ripple to rejuvenate its own power and revives Zoroark, before departing back to the future. Kodai's confessions to his crime are played on television, and he is promptly arrested. At the end of the film, Zorua and Zoroark depart back to their homeland, the Unova region, with Karl and Rowena for company. Ash promises Zorua that he and Pikachu will reunite with it when they visit Unova some day.

Darkly Intriguing
I've never read any of Philip K. Dick's books, nor for that matter found any of the film adaptations of his work particularly good, with the exception of Spielberg's 'Minority Report'.
However, I'm excited about the upcoming 'A Scanner Darkly'. There is a fine cast including Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder and Woody Harrelson. And at the helm is Richard Linklater, who always does interesting work. He is using the same real life animation effects used in his previous 'Waking Life'. More about the process of 'interpolated rotoscoping' here.

You didn't like Blade Runner (and the book "Do androids dream of electric sheep")? :|
Vrta says: 5-Sep-2005 at 16:43 -#1
I also recommend the book "Now wait for last year".
Looking forward to this film, though.
brian says: 5-Sep-2005 at 16:51 -#1
BISI, I never read the book and I never really took to Blade Runner, even though many regard it as one of the best sci-fi films ever.
Vrta, thanks for the recommendation. I'll try and get my hands on a copy of that book.

History of the Newcomb area
Newcomb has a vast, pristine wilderness to explore - the largest in Essex County. It is known for many things, among them, the High Peaks, hiking in Santanoni Preserve, the Adirondack Interpretive Center, Mt Adams and Goodnow Fire Towers and it's many other trails. We also have, hunting, horseback riding, wagon trips, mountain biking trails, canoeing, (rentals are available) fishing, camping, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, and sledding.
Newcomb is also known for entertaining and well done theater productions offered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts in Blue Mountain Lake. Several performances are scheduled for the state-of-the-art Newcomb Central School stage.
Newcomb's diverse history began with Indians, Loggers, Miners and even includes Theodore Roosevelt becoming president of the United States.
According to Indian legend, this region was previously occupied in Colonial times by two tribes of Indians. The Algonquin Nation & the powerful Iroqois. Many artifacts were discovered in the area and although the Indians fished & hunted in Newcomb, there is no known evidence that they lived here during the harsh winters.
Newcomb itself was established March 15, 1828 in the "Center of the Adirondack Wilderness", and is surrounded by unspoiled lakes and majestic views of the High Peaks. Our elevation is 1,500 feet and the major peaks range from 3,000 to 5,344 feet above sea level.
Logging was a large part of the history. Many of the French Canadians who came to work for the logging companies have remained to this day. Farmers of the area also worked for the logging companies in the winter to help support their families.
Finch & Pruyn has been an important part of our logging history. They moved their company from Canada to Newcomb in 1928. The farm was used to supply their various logging camps.
Archibald McIntyre sent his son John, and Duncan McMartin, to search for silver in the Adirondack Mountains. According to legend a young Indian led them to the site where they found large quantities of iron ore on the outskirts of Newcomb Village. They formed the Adirondack Iron & Steel Company. Some of the buildings as well as the blast furnace are still on the site.
Later, the Adirondack Steel Company mine was sold to The National Lead Company who discovered titanium in the area, which was used for paints during the Second World War. The property and developed titanium site is Previously owned by NL Industries. In 2003 the property was purchased by the Open Space Institute
In 1963, The National Lead Company moved the entire Village of Tahawus to the Winebrook area in Newcomb, so they could expand their mining operations. Many of the employees retired and live in Newcomb. In 1990 the Mine closed due to economics.
During the depression the Civilian Conservation Corp., Camp S-129 housed over 200 young men in Company 1297 in Newcomb. We can thank the men in the CCC's for many of our trails and roads we enjoy and use today. They were also responsible for planting many trees.
Archer and Anna Huntington donated their 15,000 acre Adirondack estate to the State University of New York/Environmental Science and Forestry in 1932, to be used for research and education. Huntington & Arbutus Lodges, once joined as an original Durant Adirondack Camp, served as the Huntington's summer camp and retreat. The Adirondack Ecological Center was established in 1972 on the Huntington Wildlife Forest to provide the scientific community and the people of New York with a greater understanding of the Adirondack ecosystem through research.
Teddy Roosevelt spent many vacations as a young lad in the Adirondacks. While staying at the Tahawus Club, located in the township of Newcomb, and hunting on Mount Marcy, Guide Harrison Hall climbed Mount Marcy to inform TR that President McKinley was near death. Enroute from Tahawus to the North Creek train station, TR became President of the United States, upon the death of McKinley. A Memorial Plaque, on Route 28N, marks the site of this event.
Camp Santanoni was visited by Teddy Roosevelt many times. This 12,500 acre Great Camp from the late 1800's, open year round, is being restored and many of the buildings such as the main lodge, kitchen and studio are still there to see. The farm complex: the barn, creamery, smoke house and worker's homes are also being restored. The distinctive gatehouse of stone and wood greets you as you start your hike, bike or ride in on horse drawn wagons to the main house of the Great Camp.

MUSKEGON, MI. – Mona Shores varsity football coach Matt Koziak will not be on the sidelines for the first two games next fall.
Koziak has been suspended for two games after it was self-reported by the school to the Michigan High School Athletic Association that he had "undue influence" on a potential transfer student from Grand Haven.
Mona Shores athletic director Ryan Portenga said contact between Koziak and the player did not follow the protocol of the MHSAA's enrollment rules.
"Matt was cooperative and accepted full responsibility for the incident," Portenga said. "We're all pretty down about the situation, considering this was our school's first offense and his personal first offense. I thought things might turn out differently, especially considering we self-reported it."
Portenga said Mona Shores was given the choice of suspending Koziak or the team serving a one-year ban from the playoffs.
Koziak will miss road games against Muskegon Catholic Central and Spring Lake, but will be able to coach all practices and the remainder of the season. He can't have access to the team three hours before and until three hours after each game.
Koziak declined comment and said statements on the situation would come from Portenga.
Portenga called it a case of "poor judgment" and not an intentional violation of the rules by Koziak when the incident occurred in November.
"We're going to move forward as a program," Portenga said. "We've learned a valuable lesson. Matt Koziak has learned a valuable lesson how to handle incoming students. In fact, the whole state is learning a valuable lesson on transiency between schools, especially among athletes. It's becoming more and more prevalent in our 9-12 (grade) society.
The 2013 season will be Koziak's third year in charge of the Sailors' program. The team went 4-5 in 2012 and the program is still looking for its first playoff berth in school history.
"We're pretty solid as a program right now," Portenga said. "We've grown our program from 65 students in 2009-10 to over 100 right now and we're very proud of that. We're very proud of what Matt Koziak has done in the short time he's been here, and although this is a step backward, we've only taken steps forward since he's been on campus. We're going to get past this as a school district and a program and he's going to learn a lot from it as a coach and human being.
"He's a good man, full on integrity and handled it right after the fact that he didn't follow the proper channels with enrollment. Everything else he's handled perfectly."
The student in question also had contact with the Reeths-Puffer football program, but R-P athletic director Tony Schmitt said no game suspension was issued to Rockets' head coach Kyle Jewett.
According to Portenga, the student is still enrolled at Grand Haven.

Not exactly what I was expecting
Haymarket, VA
About Me
Best Uses
Comments about
30" x 60" Laminated Maple Bench Top, 88 Lbs.
I was making a work bench and was short on time and decided to purchase this top. I don't think I saved much time. The long edges have a 1/4" round over. To attach a vise and make the bench a bit wider to fit the base I was constructing, I had to cut off each edge to add to the top. Not all the boards on the bottom side are the full thickness their entire length. The voids are filled with some sort of resin.
This top would be fine as a counter top island. Not great for a workbench.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Excellent work surface
Allentown, PA
About Me
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
My comments are relevant to woodworkers. If used as a counter/island top, the product is just fine as is.
1. I purchased this at my local Woodcraft store and could examine it. Top was in excellent condition. Bottom had a minor filled gouge - not a problem.
2. Rounded long edge had to be cut off to allow addition of a 4.25" maple edge.
3. Top was flat along the long dimension but was out of flat by 1/16" across its 30" dimension. I do not know if one should expect dead flat in a bench top only 1-3/4" thick.
4. One edge was out of square by about 1/8" across 30" using 3-4-5 math to test.
5. There is no reason not to buy this as a workbench top. One should not expect perfection in a wood product that by definition is dimensionally unstable.
P.S. I suggest buying a 3/4" router bit to use to 'drill' bench dog holes.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Not Flat
San Francisco CA
Do not buy this online unless you want to be sending the top back to Woodcraft for replacement. The first 24x60 I received had several grapefruit sized epoxy filled cavities in the bottom so I sent it back. The replacement bottom was good, one small epoxy filled spot but by the time I went to use it, it was past the 90 day return policy. Unfortunatlely the top is way out of flat! I will have to plane at last 1/4 inch off of it to get it flat which leaves only an inch and a half. Buy and select this item in person to be sure you get what you expect.
Bottom Line
Not Square
I am using this for a second bench, during the layout I found that the top was not square from corner to corner off almost a ¼"
Beautiful center piece
Wood working Geologist
Tampa, FL
This beautiful bench top is being used as a kitchen island in lieu of a stone counter top. I needed a durable surface that I could cut on as well as entertain on, and an island with a rock counter-top is useless to me. I did have to dimension the cutting block a bit so I could match it to the counter tops I already had for the rest of the kitchen, but that was easily done.
The Bench top is a very beautiful piece of wood that comes ready to install with rounded over edges on the long sides, and straight cut on the ends. The top and sides are already treated and as it comes should be good enough to go into any application. There are no glue gaps in between the maple joints, and the few natural wood flaws (knots or holes) are already properly filled. This bench/counter is ready go to as is (provided).
However, be sure to inspect your top when you receive it. Mine came to me with several dings and bangs that were created during shipping and that I had to work to get out of it. Stripping and re-applying butcher block oil is not hard, but it is cumbersome when you want to get things done. I do wish there was an option to have it slightly over sized so I could cut it to size, and raw so I could finish it the way I want to without having to strip, sand and treat it.
Overall, a very nice piece that I am proud to have in the middle of my kitchen among all my own work.
As solid as expected
Ballston Spa, NY
This is a solid worktable top that will not warp - - I need a perfectly flat top, and this is it!
Excellent Work Surface
Eastern Ky
I have been using the maple top as a bench top for several weeks now and I'm very satisfied. It is imperative to have a flat surface like this one has.
Packaging was substantial and corners were protected by plastic, however I did find many chips and small cuts around the edges and corners. Nothing I can't live with. As one other person mentioned, the long sides were rounded. I too will be cutting that off. Good for a counter top maybe but not a bench top where I use the straight lines to line up project parts and or measure from. Well worth the price.
Rock Solid Top
Dennis at Forever Furniture
Goshen, IN
I bought a Grizzly laminated maple workbench a few years ago. It was advertised as a 2" thick top. However, only the apron was 2". The top was actually < 3/4". After a couple of years it started to sag in the middle. When I saw this top, it was a answer to my prayers. This top is incredible! Solid and dead flat! I was able to re-use the Grizzly workbench legs, and now have a top qualtiy workbench that will last for many, many years. I highly recommend this top!!
Solid counter top
Pompton Plains, NJ
Solid counter top. I found a well constructed base and attached the two. Made a strong table my wife loves. The top has a resonale damage resistance and is easy to repaire. Also is easly cleaned. But do not expect to carry it your self.

Results tagged ' Jose Cisnero '
Owens among five cut by Astros on Sunday
The Astros trimmed their Spring Training roster by five players Sunday, optioning left-hander pitcher Rudy Owens and right-handers Jose Cisnero, Collin McHugh and Chia-Jen Lo and reassigning catcher Tyler Heineman to Minor League camp.
None of the cuts, which leave the Astros with 46 players remaining in camp, come as a surprise. Lo, who appeared in 19 games for the Astros last season, was competing for one of the spots in the bullpen and appeared in four games this spring, allowing one earned run in 3 1/3 innings.
Owens, coming off a foot injury that cost him nearly the entire 2013 season, was a long shot to make the rotation and will likely be in the rotation at Triple-A Oklahoma City. He appeared in three games this spring, making two starts, and was 0-1 with an 8.31 ERA.
Acquired from the Pirates in the Wandy Rodriguez deal in 2012, Owens missed most of last season because of a stress fracture in his left foot. He made merely four appearances, three starts, producing an 0-3 record and 3.71 ERA in 17 innings. He pitched in the Dominican Winter League, producing a 3-2 record and 2.68 ERA in 10 starts and 53 2/3 innings.
McHugh, claimed off waivers in December, appeared in three games this spring and allowed 12 hits and nine earned runs in 5 2/3 innings. He split last season between the Mets and Rockies and the Minor Leagues of both organizations.
Cisnero went 2-2 with a 4.12 ERA in 28 games in his Major League debut last year. He pitched in three games in Grapefruit League play, allowing three hits and one earned run in 2 1/3 innings. Heineman spent all of last season at Class A Lancaster, hitting .286 with 13 homers and 71 RBIs.
Cisnero comes up, Oberholtzer down
In an effort to have fresh arms in the bullpen capable of working multiple innings, the Astros on Monday recalled right-hander Jose Ciserno from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned left-hander Brett Oberholtzer back down after a brief stay on the Major League roster.
Oberholtzer was called up Sunday and made his debut against the Indians, throwing two innings while allowing two home runs. He was recalled after long relievers Paul Clemens (3 1/2 innings) and Dallas Keuchel (2 2/3 innings) worked multiple innings in Saturday's 19-6 loss to Cleveland (Keuchel was sent down after the game).
Cisnero has appeared in three games, making one start, for the RedHawks, going 1-1 with a 9.35 ERA in 8 2/3 innings. He last pitched Thursday, throwing three innings Round Rock. He had a terrific year in 2012, going 14-7 with a 3.70 ERA in 20 starts at Double-A Corpus Christi and eight at Oklahoma City.
He's expected to provide support in long relief for a bullpen that has had to eat up a lot of innings in the last week. Only one Astros starting pitcher has pitched into the sixth inning in the team's last six games, including three starters that didn't survive the first inning.

[QUOTE=Dulcimina;962369]Am I understanding correctly that at the end of 35 days you lost weight (or at least hadn't gained any more) and were successfully off BP meds? You then re-introduced grains, and as a result gained weight and raised your BP? And the conclusion you reached from these data is that primal eating does not work?
I'm so confused.[/QUOTE]
What he's saying is....
"I went on a diet... then I went back to my normal diet and things went back to how they were."
Well... yeah!
That's what thousands and thousands of people all across America do every day.
They diet just long enough to "lose x amount of weight", or get whatever condition just under control, then they stop...
And guess what happens???
They go back to being exactly how they were before the diet!
What people need is a lifestyle change NOT a silly DIET!!! :rolleyes:
I'm so sick of "diet" mentality.
It does not work.
You have to change the way you eat permanently to have a permanent change on your health!

Acta Cryst. (2013). E69, o1666 [ doi:10.1107/S160053681302816X ]
Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C18H15Te+·2Br-·C3H6O or Ph3TeBr·0.5Me2CO, contains two crystallographically independent triphenyltelluronium cations, two bromide anions, and one disordered [site-occupancy ratio = 0.581 (7):0.419 (7)] solvent molecule. Interionic TeBr interactions connect the cations and anions into a tetrameric step-like structure. The primary coordination spheres of both Te atoms are TeC3 trigonal pyramids: three short secondary tellurium-bromine interactions expand the coordination geometry of one of the Te atoms to an octahedron. While the other Te atom shows only two TeBr secondary bonding interactions, it is also six-coordinated due to a Te interaction [3.769 (2) Å] with one of the phenyl rings of the adjacent cation.

OCEAN SPRINGS -- Let it not be said Patricia Anderson sets her goals low.
"My personal goal is to see Mississippi become number one in the nation in health, education and poverty," said Anderson. "I won't rest until it is."
That drive and determination led Anderson, a life coach and trainer, to create the first YMCA Family Fitness Day, held Saturday at Greyhound Stadium in Ocean Springs.
A variety of demonstrations took place throughout the day, ranging from Jiu Jitsu to yoga to various types of training. Vendors from health and fitness organization lined the track of Hugh Pepper Field.
The YMCA, E-Fitness and Wellness, Ironworks Gym, Planet Fitness, River Rock Yoga and Flex Group Fitness were among the organizations on hand.
"It's remarkable all these different fitness businesses came together," said Joey Conwill, Fitness Director for the YMCA. "They all know it's for the Y, but it's also for the community."
The event served as a fundraiser for the YMCA's capital improvements/expansion campaign. Anderson, granddaughter of legendary Ocean Springs potter Peter Anderson, said she has envisioned this day for several years.
"I wanted to be a part of helping build the Y up and expand their influence on the community," she said. "They live the principals of mind, body and spirit. They're doing it every day. They are amazing.
"I'm excited so many other people, so many other businesses, know what the Y is doing and are here to support them."

The real meaning of cold nuclear spin temperatures found in cometary molecules is still puzzling. Usually the nuclear spin temperature has been considered to be the physical temperature where the molecules formed (or condensed) on cold grains in thermal equilibrium. If so, the nuclear spin temperatures of different molecular species should be the same. Here we report the nuclear spin temperatures of water, ammonia and methane in comet C/2001 Q4 (NEAT) and discuss the existence of such thermal equilibrium process. Those nuclear spin temperatures are consistent with one another, indicating ~ 30 K. Our results support the hypothesis that the nuclear spin temperature was determined in thermal equilibrium, namely, the nuclear spin temperature can be used to infer the physical temperature.

|[TowerTalk] D40 really works!
|email@example.com (Mike & Coreen Smith)
|Sat, 8 Sep 2001 19:11:26 -0300
WOW, I'm blown away by this D40 and it's still light out here in NB yet! (d-layer absorption IOW) Upon closer inspection, it would seem my comparison antenna's (Delta Loop, full wave) top is only at about the 45-48' level and the ground is also about 5-10' lower than where my D40's tower is. This makes the delta-loop roughly 15-20' "lower" than the D40 (perhaps not a fair comparison). Also the lower part of my delta loop is only about 5' off the ground, buried in thick trees. Either way, the D40 @ 54' is always 10-20dB louder than the loop. DX and local signals both. So far I can't see any real, <what I would call 'deep'> nulls off the end of the D40 however. Perhaps the 4-5' distance it's away from the long 6m beam is upsetting its pattern, or a close pair of BIG 6m beams on a very nearby tower is messing it up a shade too. Have not had time yet to run checks for the SWR/pattern curves on the existing TH6DXX or 6m beam yet, with the new installation. I'm pumped! BTW, it beats my 17M inverted vee on the band by the same amount (10-20dB), though my Vee is only at the 30' level ;-) VE9AA , Mike Dit dit Michael, Coreen & Corey Smith (VE9AA, VE9AAA & Baby-VE9) 271 Smith Rd Waterville, NB E2V 3V6 Canada http://members.tripod.com/~ve9aa/index.html http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/2174/ List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless handles Rohn tower systems, Trylon Titan towers, coax, hardline and more.
