Hill's Prescription Diet J/D Canine canned dog food is not rated due to its intentional therapeutic design.
The Hill's Prescription Diet J/D Canine product line includes one canned dog food, a recipe designed to help in the treatment of joint conditions.

|Estimated Nutrient Content

The first ingredient in this dog food is water, which adds nothing but moisture to this food. Water is a routine finding in most canned dog foods.
The second ingredient is rice. Is this whole grain rice, brown rice or white rice? Since the word "rice" doesn't tell us much, it's impossible to judge the quality of this item.
The third ingredient is liver. Normally, liver can be considered a quality component. However, in this case, the source of the liver is not identified. For this reason, it's impossible to judge the quality of this item.
The fourth ingredient includes meat by-products, an item made from slaughterhouse waste. This is what's left of slaughtered animals after all the prime striated muscle cuts have been removed.
With the exception of hair, horns, teeth and hooves, this item can include almost any other part of the animal.1
Although most meat by-products can be nutritious, we do not consider such vaguely described (generic) ingredients to be as high in quality as those derived from a named animal source.
The fifth ingredient is corn. Corn is an inexpensive and controversial cereal grain. And aside from its energy content, this grain is of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
For this reason, we do not consider corn a preferred component in any dog food.
The sixth ingredient is lamb. Lamb is considered "the clean flesh derived from slaughtered" lamb and associated with skeletal muscle or the muscle tissues of the tongue, diaphragm, heart or esophagus.2
Lamb is naturally rich in all ten essential amino acids required by a dog to sustain life.
The seventh ingredient is rice flour. Rice flour is made from either white or brown rice and is considered a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour.
The eighth ingredient is flaxseed, one of the best plant sources of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Provided they've first been ground into a meal, flax seeds are also rich in soluble fiber.
However, flaxseed contains about 19% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.
The ninth ingredient is fish oil. Fish oil is naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans.
Depending on its level of freshness and purity, fish oil should be considered a commendable addition.
From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.
But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.
With five notable exceptions…
First, soybean meal is a by-product of soybean oil production more commonly found in farm animal feeds.
Although soybean meal contains 48% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat.
And less costly plant-based products like this can notably boost the total protein reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.
Next, powdered cellulose is a non-digestible plant fiber usually made from the by-products of vegetable processing. Except for the usual benefits of fiber, powdered cellulose provides no nutritional value to a dog.
In addition, soybean oil is red flagged here only due to its rumored (yet unlikely) link to canine food allergies.
However, since soybean oil is high in omega-6 fatty acids and contains no omega-3's, it's considered less nutritious than flaxseed oil or a named animal fat.
Next, iron oxide is a synthetic color additive used in industry to impart a reddish color to food — and paint. In its natural form, this chemical compound is more commonly known as "iron rust".
We're always disappointed to find any artificial coloring in a pet food. That's because coloring is used to make the product more appealing to humans — not your dog. After all, do you really think your dog cares what color his food is?
And lastly, the minerals listed here do not appear to be chelated. And that can make them more difficult to absorb. Non-chelated minerals are usually associated with lower quality dog foods.
Hill's Prescription Diet J/D Canine Canned Dog Food
The Bottom Line
Although this is a prescription product, our review has nothing to do with the accuracy of claims made by the manufacturer as to the product's ability to treat or cure a specific health condition.
So, to find out whether or not this dog food is appropriate for your particular pet, it's important to consult your veterinarian.
With that understanding…
Judging by its ingredients alone, Hill's Prescription Diet J/D Canine appears to be a below-average wet product.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still prefer to estimate the product's meat content before concluding our report.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 20%, a fat level of 19% and estimated carbohydrates of about 53%.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 98%.
Below-average protein. Below-average fat. And above-average carbs when compared to a typical wet dog food.
When you consider the protein-boosting effect of the flaxseed and soybean meal, this looks like the profile of a wet product containing a limited amount of meat.
However, with XXX% of the total calories in our example coming from fat versus just XXX% from protein, some recipes may not be suitable for every animal. In addition, this same finding also prevents us from awarding the brand a higher rating.
Bottom line?
Hill's Prescription Diet J/D Canine is a plant-based wet dog food using a limited amount of liver and meat by-products as its main sources of animal protein.

Spain open World Cup qualifying with late win
By Steve Douglas ,AP
September 13, 2012, 12:02 am TWN
LONDON -- Spain left it late to open its 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign with a 1-0 victory over Georgia on Tuesday, capping an unconvincing night for Europe's major powers.
While England needed an 87th-minute penalty by Frank Lampard to salvage a 1-1 draw with Ukraine at Wembley Stadium, Germany, Portugal and Italy all failed to impress despite securing victories in the second round of qualifiers.
Germany held on to beat neighbor Austria 2-1, with Mesut Oezil's 52nd-minute penalty proving the difference, while Portugal needed three goals in the final 27 minutes to see off Azerbaijan 3-0 and Italy only edged past lowly ranked Malta 2-0.
Spain, the reigning world and European champion, looked as if its run of 22 straight victories in qualifying — dating back to 2007 — would come to an end against a heavily defensive Georgia until Cesc Fabregas crossed for Roberto Soldado to turn the ball in from close range in the 86th minute.
"It was a hard-fought win against a rival that gave U.S. the ball but pulled back into its area," said Soldado, who was given a rare start up front ahead of Fernando Torres and the fit-again David Villa. "It was bewildering."
Spain, which in 2014 will be seeking an unprecedented fourth straight major title, wasn't in qualifying action on Friday — it beat Saudi Arabia 5-0 in a friendly instead — allowing France to take the early lead in Group I.
After beating Finland 1-0 on Friday, Didier Deschamps' side followed up with a 3-1 win at home to Belarus.
Franck Ribery finished off the scoring with a well-taken strike and helped create the other two — scored by Etienne Capoue and Christophe Jallet for their first international goals — in Saint-Denis.
"It was important for U.S. to win tonight," Ribery said, thinking ahead to France's next qualifier — away to Spain.

Showdown for top spot in SPSL North Tuesday night when Auburn travel to Tahoma | Prep Boys Basketball
Tahoma's boys basketball team has won five straight since a loss Jan. 5 to Thomas Jefferson. Tuesday night Tahoma hosts Auburn, which is 10-2 in South Puget Sound League 4A North play, and in first place in the division.
The Bears are 10-3 and in second place in the division. One of the Trojans' two losses came at the hands of the Bears Dec. 15 at Auburn.

With a win over Auburn, Tahoma can take sole possession of first play thanks to tiebreakers with two league games remaining on the schedule: at home against Kentridge Jan. 29 and on the road Feb. 1 at Thomas Jefferson to finish the regular season.
Tip off for the game against Auburn is 7:30 p.m. It is also Senior Night for the Bears.

I have been in business for 13 years and have a commercial construction background before starting my landscape business. Due to the state of the economy and lack of new construction, we have expanded to service our customers in the lawn maintenance business. We never had time for maintenance other than a few long time contracts, but find a growing need to diversify. I am glad to be a part of this forum and hope I may be of some help to others as well as get some much needed info.

To tell the truth, I am very wondering that you welcome neat but not so gorgeous accommodation. Anyway, please check it. Seiji -=-=-=-=-=-=-= I am wondering that 2011 could be held in Kyoto. I know only one venue hotel possible we have ILC. The hotel KYOTO COOP-IN is rather small and not gorgeous but the price is reasonable and neat enough for us. It has only 83 single rooms, and 17 twins. The conference rooms are also equipped, from 63 persons with desk (90 w/o desk), 84(120), 24(30), and the combination of them. All devices for conference are available. And the free internet access is available with cable in every room. Using this hotel, we do not need to mind the transfer from hotel to conference site. However, it is very hard to reserve rooms for almost 100 people especially in good season like just now (in fall). It might be available in summer. It is famous for Kyoto of hot summer and no special event. If you want to stay a luxurious hotel in Japan, I do not recommend it, but if you want to enjoy the Kyoto life in short time by reasonable cost, I recommend it. The hotel is located at a little bit confusing but a very convenient place near to NISHIKI SHIJO (market), wonderful market street that I like. http://hawk2.kyoto-bauc.or.jp/coop-inn/kyoto/hotelguide/index.html http://maps.google.co.jp/maps?hl=ja <http://maps.google.co.jp/maps?hl=ja&source=hp&q=%E4%BA%AC%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82 %E4%B8%AD%E4%BA%AC%E5%8C%BA%E6%9F%B3%E9%A6%AC%E5%A0%B4%E8%9B%B8%E8%96%AC%E5% B8%AB%E4%B8%8A%E3%83%AB%E4%BA%95%E7%AD%92%E5%B1%8B%E7%94%BA411&lr=&um=1&ie=U TF-8&sa=N&tab=wl> &source=hp&q=%E4%BA%AC%E9%83%BD%E5%B8%82%E4%B8%AD%E4%BA%AC%E5%8C%BA%E6%9F%B3 %E9%A6%AC%E5%A0%B4%E8%9B%B8%E8%96%AC%E5%B8%AB%E4%B8%8A%E3%83%AB%E4%BA%95%E7% AD%92%E5%B1%8B%E7%94%BA411&lr=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl Or, please Google map search with "35.006751,135.764253" through Google.com You can reserve the room from internet. http://web.mytrip.net/portal/my/en_kensaku_room.main?f_no=10846 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Leading Provider of Terminal Automation Software Solutions Integrates Patent-Pending M2SYS Biometric System for Improved Homeland Security
ATLANTA, GA (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- M2SYS Technology, an innovator in biometric technology research and development, announced today it has finalized a long-term agreement with Dearman Systems, Inc., a leading provider of terminal automation software for the bulk petroleum and chemical distribution industry. This strategic agreement will benefit Homeland Security by enabling Dearman's customers to accurately identify persons transporting hazardous materials and cargo truckloads to many high security sites throughout the U.S.
"As one might imagine, the US Department of Transportation and the Department of Homeland Security have imposed strict requirements on the safe and secure transport of hazardous materials," commented Les Dearman, President of Dearman Systems, Inc. "Those operating the vehicles transporting these materials can be just as, if not more, of a threat to the nation's security than the materials themselves. For this reason, we knew the adoption of a biometrics system in our terminal automation software would ensure the accurate identification of authorized drivers, thereby bolstering the safety of material transportation in our industry."
*(Photo Caption: M2-S Fingerprint Reader.)
Dearman Systems provides high quality software and automation solutions for the bulk petroleum and chemical distribution industry. Representing the latest in terminal automation system technology and design, Dearman's TAS.net(TM) and RTG(TM) systems are based on the Microsoft .Net Framework. TAS.net(TM) is designed to be customized for single or multiple terminal management from local computers as well as via the Internet using Internet Explorer, providing secure and efficient remote access and management of terminals from anywhere in the world. The RTG(TM) (Ready-To-Go) terminal automation package is an unprecedented opportunity for small to medium sized operations to economically automate with a high-quality terminal automation system. Coupling either automation system with Dearman's back-office Enterprise Management Software streamlines and integrates operations with executive management tools and reporting.
The Dearman Systems team constantly strives to improve its products and uses the latest tools and technology to make sure that customers' needs are being met today and into the future. A partnership with M2SYS Technology is a logical step that provides Dearman's customers with an integrated, fast, and reliable positive identification solution.
"When we started evaluating different fingerprint recognition systems, we were greatly intrigued by the unique integration methodology that M2SYS offered," added Dearman. "In less than a day we had a very robust, scalable, accurate fingerprint system integrated into our software. Not only did we eliminate a lengthy development cycle, but their system is also completely run-time independent. This appealing architecture allows us to remain focused on our product without having to worry about supporting the fingerprint system. And with the complex nature of our customer implementation environments, this was a headache we were eager to avoid. In addition, M2SYS was the only provider we found that proactively works with us to help educate our users about fingerprint technology, market the system, and support our technical requests."
Bio-Plugin(TM) enables software companies to quickly integrate a complete, seamless fingerprint recognition system, including a high-performance 1:N identification engine. Bio-Plugin(TM) eliminates the system dependencies, extensive development, and specialized knowledge of biometric system complexities that are inherent to fingerprint technology SDKs. This enables software companies to remain focused on their core products, while establishing a new revenue channel with the addition of an integrated biometric component.
"The United States ships more than 300 billion ton-miles of hazardous materials annually worth more than 650 billion dollars," commented Michael Trader, President of M2SYS. "This cargo includes explosives, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, oxidizers and organic peroxides, toxins, radioactive materials, corrosive materials, and other miscellaneous dangerous goods, that could be a major threat to homeland security if fallen into the wrong hands. By integrating and distributing M2SYS' fingerprint software in its terminal automation solution to identify authorized truck drivers, Dearman Systems has taken a major step toward improving the security of hazardous material transportation. M2SYS is proud to provide the back-end biometric technology for such an important initiative."

The college football media-at-large agrees on many things this preseason: Florida State is the consensus best team, for example, and Todd Gurley is the consensus best running back. Will Muschamp needs eight or nine wins to save his job.
But not every issue breeds such crisp, clean consensus—especially on the subject of individual teams.
Which got us thinking: Whom do we disagree on most?
So we've compiled all the individual voting data (here) from the Associated Press Preseason Poll to look for some answers.
Of course, 60 voters is not representative of the entire college football media, but it's a big enough sample to work with. The results are, at the very least, strongly correlated with how the larger group of college football analysts think.
For the five teams listed, though, that thinking is basically a big ol' shrug of the shoulders.

Abstract: In the title compound, C20H20NPSe, the P atom lies in a distorted tetrahedral environment. The Tolman cone angle is 157° indicating steric crowding at this atom. In the crystal, weak C-HSe interactions create linked dimeric units and C-H interactions are also observed.

The following is a press release from the Wear It! Oswego campaign. Both stories are food for thought:
The Wear It! Oswego campaign recently spoke with the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Station Oswego regarding two real-life "saved by the jacket" rescues.
In both instances, individuals involved in these accidents on Lake Ontario would not be alive today if they were not wearing a life jacket.
In August 2010, USCG Station Oswego received a mayday call that a sailing club of five boats was stuck on the east break wall in Oswego Harbor. The USCG's research vessel Kaho was in the area and picked five individuals out of the water. USCG Station Oswego also launched its 25-foot response boat which picked up four more people.
Two additional individuals on shore were rescued by the City of Oswego Police Department and brought to the hospital. All others were transported to the USCG Station Oswego where they were treated by an Oswego ambulance crew. A total of 11 people were involved including the sailing instructors, and all are alive today because they were wearing life jackets.
In September 2010, a 19-foot recreational vessel was capsized by waves in Lake Ontario approximately two nautical miles from the Salmon River. USCG Station Oswego's 25-foot response boat arrived on the scene and located three individuals in the water that were severely hypothermic.
The three people – who all were wearing life jackets -- used a portable VHF radio they took into the water to help direct the rescue crew. Following the rescue, they were transported by ambulance for treatment and later released.
"In these two situations, it was fortunate that all of the individuals were wearing life jackets," said BMCS Joseph M. Orlando, Officer-in-Charge, USCG Station Oswego. "Unfortunately life jackets are not used in many of our other rescue situations and thus results are not as positive."
"These stories also illustrate that the waterways in Oswego County and throughout New York State are very cold – all year round -- and that hypothermia can adversely affect people who are stranded in the water for even short periods of time," Orlando added.

The two top officials of New York Chocolate denied reports that they embezzled funds that were meant to get the former Nestle factory in Fulton back in the chocolate business.
"There is no scandal. There is no scam," said Yalle Agbre, the company's treasurer. He and New York Chocolate CEO Jean-Claude Amon said at a news conference today that a minority partner in the company is spreading false rumors.
Reports published in opposition newspapers in the Ivory Coast claim that millions of dollars meant for the Fulton factory disappeared after being transferred from an Ivorian cocoa-growing cooperative to IC Trading, a company in Georgia.
Formed in 2004, after the 2003 shutdown of the Nestle factory in Fulton, New York Chocolate had 80 employees and reported production was growing near in January 2006. Five months later, the factory was down to a dozen workers and having trouble paying utility bills.

Let's open our Bibles to Matthew 5:13. We're listening as our Lord Jesus issues an urgent call to on-mission living to engage our city and our world with His love. As you're turning I just want to remind you to stop by and pick up your free copy of the book I Am a Church Member. We're reading it together just so we can get on the same page in understanding what it means to be a member of church that takes seriously the mission Jesus has given to us to engage to live an on-mission life. Now Jesus uses two very simple, yet powerful, images to drive home this truth. Read Matthew 5:13-16.

One of the gravest dangers that has faced New Orleans in recent days - the possibility of a devastating fire, with dry conditions, abundant gas leaks, and no water pressure -- abated greatly Tuesday with the return of limited water service, officials said.
Sewerage and Water Board Executive Director. Marcia St. Martin, said the water is running again on the east bank of Orleans Parish, with pressure sufficient to fight fires. Water service on the West Bank has never been interrupted, she said.
While residents will find their tap is back on, St. Martin said the water should only be used for flushing toilets and fighting fires. Test results on the water won't be available for a few days, she said, and the water is likely unsafe for bathing, drinking and cooking, even if it's boiled first.
"We had a significant amount of sulfur water come up from the Gulf, " St. Martin said. "We won't know exactly what's in it until we get the tests back." St. Martin said that returning service back to the East Bank has been a top priority because fires have been breaking out in various parts of town and firefighters have been mostly powerless to stop them. She said she "understands" that there are thousands of ruptured gas lines around the city, but said she could not confirm that.
Asked how many residents are now living on the east bank, where 440,000 had lived, St. Martin said, "I haven't the faintest idea."
St. Martin also said five pumping stations on the east bank are in service pumping floodwaters back into Lake Pontchartrain.
She said she could not give an updated timetable on when the floodwater will be removed.

Competitive cyclists will converge on St. Tammany Parish this weekend for a series of bicycle races, including races Sunday morning in downtown Covington. The races are part of the Tour de Louisiane.
On Saturday (June 7) there will be a morning race beginning at 9 a.m. at Stoney Point near Franklinton. The race begins at Louisiana highways 10 and 450. Area roads will remain open to vehicles. Later Saturday, the cyclists will take part in 3-mile time trials on Louisiana 1088 near Lakeshore High School north of Mandeville. That course also will remain open to traffic.
On Sunday beginning at 7 a.m. cyclists will take to the streets of downtown Covington for races that will continue until 1 p.m. Those races, which are designed to test the cyclists' maneuverability skills, will require the closure of sections of Boston, New Hampshire, Kirkland, Columbia, Lockwood and Florida streets.
The city of Covington is encouraging spectators to come to the downtown area to watch the races.
The weekend's races mirror last year's event.

Tulane athletic communications release*
The Tulane University women's swimming and diving team added a bit of experience to a young unit as junior transfer Hagar Elgendy joined the Green Wave's second-year program, head coach Lena Guarriello announced Monday on the first day of the 2010 fall semester.
A native of Alexandria, Egypt, Elgendy comes to Tulane following a two-year stint at the University of Miami (Fla.) where she swam sprint freestyle and butterfly for the Hurricanes. With no NCAA year-in-residence rule for swimming and diving transfers, Elgendy will be eligible for competition immediately.
"Hagar will be an instant contributor to our program in several different ways," Guarriello said. "The ACC is a very competitive swimming conference and Hagar has been able to swim against some big talent for the past two years. She has been well coached by Mark Temple since returning to Monterey last spring. She's very fit and ready to start practice.
"Hagar is one of the most goal-oriented swimmers that I have ever met. She has some big aspirations and I think that Tulane is a perfect fit for her and her goals."
As a sophomore last season with the Canes, Elgendy posted top times of 24.08 in the 50 free, 52.71 in the 100 free and 1.55.76 in the 200 free. In addition, she helped the Miami 400 free relay team clock a season-best 3:25.32 with a second-leg showing of 51.72.
During the 2008-09 season, Elgendy had three top-five finishes in the 50 free and three more top-five finishes in the 100 free while participating in three 200 free events as a true freshman. Along the way, she posted top marks of 24.19 in the 50 free, 52.62 in the 100 free and a 1:54.37 in the 200 free. Elgendy also a key member of the Hurricanes' free relay teams where she helped UM post a win over Florida Atlantic in the 200 free relay (1:40.59) with a lead-off leg of 25.48. She also tallied a split of 53.20 in the second leg of the 400 free at the Ohio State Invitational and handled the third leg of the 800 free relay in the same tournament where she posted a 1:57.44 split.
In addition to her time at the University of Miami, Elgendy also posted top five finishes in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyles in the 2010 Egyptian Swimming Federation National Championships this summer and was part of the Egyptian national record-setting 4x800 free relay team.
After posting the top times in the50 free for her age group as a youngster in Egypt, Elgendy moved with her family to the Seaside, Calif., where she was a 14-time All-League champion at Monterey High School. During her prep career, she helped lead her team to a CCS Championship as a senior, finished as a finalist in the 50 free with a time of 24.8 and was named a Scholastic All-American.
She also earned CCS title as a junior in the 200 IM (2:12) and 100 fly (1:01), and finished runner-up in the 100 back (1:01.9). Elgendy completed her career with school records in the 50 free, 100 free, 100 fly and 200 IM.
Elgendy, who will be a neuroscience major at Tulane, is one of six newcomers to the Tulane swimming and diving team for the 2010-11 season. Incoming freshmen Cari Caprio, Caitlin Cocoran, Shelby Kiser, Mekala Pavlin and Rachel Ranson, meanwhile, signed National Letters of Intent with the Green Wave earlier this summer.
The half-dozen new faces join a Tulane team that enters its second year back in the pool following a three-year layoff caused by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in Aug. 2005. Last season, the Green Wave finished fifth at the 2010 Conference USA Women's Swimming and Diving Championship, and returns all 18 letterwinners from that team for the upcoming season.

Grand Rapids West Catholic topped Belding 164-147 and 144-132 in the two Baker games, respectively. After winning the first regular game 701-678, West Catholic dropped the second game 752-728 to Belding.
Bre Vanzyll and Kaitlyn Mulvey led West Catholic with scores of 193 and 192, respectively.
Belding's Erin Robach scored 192 and 183 for a series score of 375.
"We have two seniors on the girls team, so we're a little bit weaker in both programs than we have been," Belding coach Ernie Cox said. "We don't have a lot of bowlers bunched up in any particular grade. We also don't have a lot of consistency in spare-shooting, and any coach will tell you that's the key to winning. We can get tougher than we are, and I expect we'll improve."
West Catholic will face Grandville 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 20.
"From what I've seen at tournaments, (Grandville) looks pretty solid," Hall said. "They should give us a run for our money, I'm sure."

Pray for the Nation Today and Get out and vote!
11-06-2012, 11:48 AM #2AprilGuest
Lets all pray that the voter fraud that Obama and his master have in place is not successful and the election is won by Romney so we can begin to get our country back from the grip of corruption and socialism. It will take continued efforts on our part, but if we do not give up and we do not give in we can return this nation to one nation under God Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for all.

Praying is an excellent suggestion April! We could all use reminders to do that especially when things get so hectic.
I'm praying each hour that we all do God's will here on Earth as it is in Heaven today and always.

LANSING, MI – Students from more than two dozen mid-Michigan schools enjoyed a day at the ballpark Tuesday as the Lansing Lugnuts hosted the Dayton Dragons at Cooley Law School Stadium.
The occasion was the first of two Grand Slam School Days, with a special 10:35 a.m. start time geared for school field trips.
"We've got about 3,000 students here," Lugnuts General Manager Nick Grueser said. "I think we had 30 to 35 different schools here – about 3,000 students – from all over mid-Michigan. We had some from as far away as the Flint area and the Jackson area."
Grueser said Grand Slam School Days serve as a unique way to educate and reward students for their hard work during the school year.
Teachers are provided with baseball-related educational curriculum materials that encourage learning. The lesson plans also adhere to the College and Career Ready Standards approved by the Michigan State Board of Education.
"A lot of teachers will implement that into the game, whether they do it in the classroom prior to or after the event," Grueser said. "And there are some on-site activities for them to do as well: calculating the concession stand, ERAs and those types of things.
"I think for the most part, though, the kids just like to come here and have a good time. It's about getting out of class and enjoying the ballpark."
The Lugnuts lost the game 4-3, but the outcome hardly mattered to the young fans, who appreciated a day outside the classroom with their friends.
"It's really cool; I like watching baseball," said Madelyn Heisler, a seventh grader from Springport Middle School. "One of our teachers – Mrs. Schug -- went out and danced on the field. She did pretty good. She did 'the Bernie' and she won."
Carl Bates, a fifth grader from the Albion Technology Education Center (ALTEC), was attending his first Lugnuts' game.
"It's very awesome," Carl said. "I like the (foul) balls coming over here so everybody can get them and I like how good they hit the balls."
Carl said he enjoyed dancing to the "YMCA" during the seventh-inning stretch, and especially liked the ballpark food.
"I had a regular hot dog, a chili-cheese hot dog, some French fries and a Mountain Dew," Carl said.
Malik White, a seventh grader from Bath Middle School, was sipping on a soft drink in the ninth inning when Lugnuts' batter Kellen Sweeney fouled a ball in his direction.
"I heard a lot of screaming and then it hit me in my leg and it scared me," Malik said.
The ball bounced away and went to Bath chaperone Scott Nichols, who gave the ball to Malik.
"It startled him pretty good," Nichols said.
The second Grand Slam School Day will be Wednesday, May 22 at 10:35 a.m.
Any school representative interested in purchasing group tickets may contact Lugnuts Assistant General Manager Nick Brzezinski at 517-485-4500, ext. 284 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
* The Lugnuts' loss Tuesday dropped their season record to 5-10. Reliever Ian Kadish took the loss for Lansing. Lugnuts relievers are now 0-6 this year.
* Third baseman Gustavo Pierre leads the Lugnuts with three homers and 14 RBI. He hit a grand slam and had five RBI Monday in an 8-5 win over Dayton on Monday.
* The Lugnuts and Dragons will play the rubber game of the series Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. at Cooley Stadium. Right-hander Taylor Cole (1-1, 4.61 ERA) will pitch for Lansing.

MARSHALL - The bombshell dropped this week by Republican U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann has made some people who follow politics speculate as to the future of 7th District Congressman Collin Peterson. To that, Peterson told the Independent on Thursday, Bachmann's decision really hasn't changed the way he makes his plans.
A veteran DFLer in the state's second most conservative district, Peterson said he is in the process of raising money for a potential campaign, but hasn't committed to another term just yet.
"There's always speculation about me; they're trying to run a campaign against me to try to get me to retire," he said. "It's actually making me more inclined not to retire. But I never decided until January or February of an election year."
Peterson, who turns 69 next month, said he "needs to see where things are at" in early 2014 before making his final decision on whether or not to run again and whether or not his presence in Washington will be beneficial for the country and his district.
Peterson hasn't been challenged much since he was first elected in 1990. He withstood a strong Republican wave in 2010 by defeating Willmar businessman Lee Byberg by 18 percentage points. That race was, however, one of the closest Peterson has been involved in. In 2012, Peterson won over Byberg with just over 60 percent of the votes.
Peterson said he's unsure of how Bachmann's departure will affect Minnesota and the 6th District. He said Republicans might actually be buoyed by Bachmann's absence, considering all the fallout from her brief presidential run. Her gaffes and missteps, he said, allowed DFL businessman Jim Graves to come close to winning the last election in the state's most Republican-leaning district.
"There was a lot of backlash against her because of the presidential thing, her missing all those votes, spending so much time in Iowa - that stuff didn't go over too big," said Peterson. "I think that was part of the issue from what I can tell."
Peterson said Bachmann's polling "looked pretty bad," and that she would've been easier to defeat in the next election because she was so publicly damaged.
"It's a tough district," Peterson said of the 6th. "Some people think it might be easier for another Republican to win. If you've got a strong Republican candidate that unites the party, a fresh face, it might make it more difficult for a DFLer. It's hard to say right now."
Peterson, the lead Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee, also said Thursday he's confident a farm bill will get passed this year.
"It's coming up again the week of the 17th, we're going to the floor," he said. "(Republican House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank) Lucas and I are very much in agreement on everything. We're going to stick together and hopefully it will pass, but it's not going to be easy. But we have come up with a compromise, and we'll stick together."
Peterson said some right-wing Republicans might have a hard time voting for the farm bill even though they come from farming districts and that even though the ones demanding higher food stamp cuts could get what they want they still might opt to not support the bill.
A handful of amendments to the farm bill received votes in late May before the Memorial Day recess. As of May 23, the Senate had voted on nine amendments. Nearly 200 amendments have been filed, and more could follow before the Senate completes consideration of the farm bill.

MUSKEGON HEIGHTS, MI -- Five organizations replied to the Muskegon Heights charter school district's request for proposals to manage all or parts of the district, according to the district's board of directors.
The Muskegon Heights Public School Academy issued a written statement Friday, May 30 in response to repeated attempts by MLive Muskegon Chronicle to contact district representatives regarding the RFP issued earlier in May. Proposals were due in the district office a week ago.
The district has asked Alena Zachery Ross, and she has agreed, to remain as superintendent of the school district, according to the statement. She is an employee of Mosaica Education Inc., which has operated the school district for the last two years. However, on June 30, Mosaica will withdraw from the district because of ongoing financial difficulties tied to start-up costs for the nation's first K-12 charter district.
Zachery Ross is "excited about building on the momentum that has been created over the last two years," the statement says.
The board's attorney, John Gretzinger, is overseeing the review of the proposals that the statement said "vary greatly in the range of services being proposed, as well as the qualifications and experiences of the organizations proposing them."
The names of those organizations have not been released.
Board President Arthur Scott said the board has three primary goals as it reviews the proposals in preparation for the 2014-15 school year.
"We want to ensure students receive the academic preparation they need to succeed in college, work and in life," Scott said in the prepared statement. "Additionally, we need to ensure sound financial stewardship to maximize our financial resources, and ensure organizational stability and viability to ensure residents have trust and confidence in the system."
The board is seeking one or more new providers to enter a three-year contract to manage the K-12 charter school district. The request for proposals suggests that companies could partner with each other to run the district.
Mosaica was selected two years ago to manage the charter district, which was the nation's first at that time. But lower-than-expected enrollment, higher-than-expected special education costs and investments in the school buildings disrupted Mosaica's cash flow to the point where it needed advancement of state aid payments just to meet payroll.

2005-2006 Faculty Senate
Excused: Bacon, Bernstein
Absent: Skreija, Ottemann
I. The meeting was called to order at 2:20 p.m.
II. The minutes of the August 17, 2005, meeting were approved as submitted.
III. Officers' Reports
A. President's Report: Senator Glaser reported:
B. Treasurer's Report: Senator Shaw submitted the August 2005 Budget Report, which was accepted.
- Executive Committee and Administration Meeting was held on August 24, 2005. Attending were Adkins, Belck, Castilow, Glaser, Shaw, Skreija. The Chancellor was grateful for a request for a focused talk at our Retreat and felt the discussion was useful. I also informed her of the August 31, meeting with the four faculty senate presidents. The Chancellor offered her power point presentation to be posted on our website. She gave us positive enrollment numbers (not then finalized). We had an extensive discussion about faculty posting grades publicly and that a remedy should come from a variety of sources.
- The Chancellor's Council met on August 25, 2005. Highlights from this session include the following items.
- President Milliken has prioritized getting ownership of the Aksarben property.
- Robinson repeated the enrollment numbers.
- Vice-Chancellor reported that the Deans are working on the operating principles and incentives for the new budget model.
- Robinson is working on a system-wide I.D. program that would NOT be the SS#
- SS#s have been stripped from e-bruno access.
- Smith-Howell gave an update on faculty development
- Reed gave an update on the Strategic Planning Steering Committee
- They are trying to integrate APC and Strategic Planning to reduce redundancy.
- Shorb gave an update on the library construction.
- Bullock reported that the dual enrollment program is recruiting good students.
- We are encouraged to join the Urban League. They need membership and support.
- There is a sexual harassment program that faculty should participate in.
- Recruitment has an Open Mondays program where interested students and parents come to learn more about UNO. They need faculty involvement.
- Fiene reported there are 125 high-tech classrooms on campus. They are working on electronic billing for students.
- Clancy reported that Project Achieve kick-off is on the 31st at 11:30.
- Information Operations--second course has started.
- M.A. in Language Teaching is going forward.
- Four Faculty Senate Presidents met August 31, 2005. They discussed possible system-wide initiatives. Some issues the UNO Faculty Senate President brought forward were domestic partnership benefits, retirees' health care benefits, and the lost $1m. for faculty diversity recruitment. Also discussed was the university-wide benefits committee and how often they meet, and that we might want to ask that they meet regularly. The UNO Faculty Senate President was charged with researching where/how/who made the decision about retirees' health benefits, and if we have a campus benefits committee. UNK (Martha Kruse) is concerned about priority funding and the relationship between the new budget and money for faculty recruitment of students. UNMC (Warren Sanger) is concerned about Milliken's Strategic Framework. He will be trying to locate that. UNL (Mary Beck) is concerned about Memorandum 26, in which Dennis Smith defined a "program" very loosely, contrary to the definitions of the AAUP and the Regent's by-laws. According to Beck, Smith's definition was used to fire tenured faculty at UNL. I will be talking to our AAUP representatives about what they know and if Memorandum 26 is still in effect. Beck also brought up their action regarding Hergert. Sanger and I were clear we weren't going to bring this back to our executive committees and why we did not want to make any kind of statement regarding this issue. Kruse will discuss it with her executive committee soon. Our next meeting will be at the end of October, before our collective meeting with Milliken on October 27th. We will talk to him about the $1m. and benefits, as well as other issues that arise as we do our homework this next 6 weeks.
- Chancellor's Written Response to Resolutions: On August 23, 2005, Nancy Castilow, Assistant to the Chancellor, wrote: The chancellor acknowledges for the purpose of information Senate Resolutions 2794, 2796, and 2795, additionally, with respect to the latter, she will notify new committee member and committee.
Budget Committee: Senator Shaw reported Professor Bartle was to meet with John Christensen on Aug. 19, and with Christensen, Jim Buck, and Julie Totten on September 7 to learn more about the changes in the budget allocation process.
IV Standing Committee Reports
A. Committee on Academic and Curricular Affairs: Senator Anderson reported the meeting was held August 31, 2005. Topics discussed were:
- General Education Requirements and Accreditation: Scott Tarry volunteered to represent the ACA Committee at the Gen Ed Think Tank coordinated by Deb Smith-Howell. It's goal is to review distribution requirements and explicate student learning outcomes for accreditation purposes.
- Center for Afghanistan Studies (CAS): The committee reviewed the Walker letter and responses from Tom Gouttierre and Nancy Belck. They also were given 2 "Nebraskans for Peace" newsletters, the Academic Affairs' program review policies, and the last 2 reviews of International Studies & Programs. Deb Smith-Howell chairs the Academic Planning Council and welcomes suggestions from our committee. The CAS is up for review next year. The committee is attempting to determine whether there are specific policies in place by either the Board of Regents or another administrative body that dictate reviews of centers. The committee is concerned about making recommendations about whether or not to review centers when the term "center" seems to be used loosely and without standardization. In other words, UNO has centers, offices, academies, and agencies that have different purposes and goals. Some of the questions we are wrestling with are: Should centers and non-academic programs be reviewed as part of the regular academic review process? Should specific criteria be established for them? Should faculty or administration be responsible for oversight of these entities?
- Dual Enrollment: the committee members have received last year's data and are requesting updated info from Sheri Rogers. We also received a copy of the standards established by CCPE.
- Other Business: there are continuing concerns about faculty posting student grades using SSN's. The committee will review the privacy policy to determine what information about students can be shared with parents and/or other persons.
B. Committee on Faculty Personnel and Welfare: Senator Tilton-Weaver reported the committee met on Wednesday, August 31, 2005. Those present were: S. Bernstein, B. Hewins-Maroney, E. Lahue, A. Skreija (Chair), and L. Tilton-Weaver.
- The Committee voted to nominate Stuart Bernstein and Lauree Tilton-Weaver as candidates from the Committee on Faculty Personnel and Welfare to the Grievance Committee for a one-year term from September 16, 1005, through September 15, 2006. One will be elected by the full Senate at next week's meeting.
- Regarding minority faculty and women faculty recruitment and retention: Along with other information, V. C. Christensen informed Skreija that his office does not conduct exit interviews with departing faculty and that, by design, such information is not shared with his office. Exit interviews are conducted by the Ombudsperson, John J. McKenna.
- It was decided to continue gathering information on why faculty leave.
C. Committee on Goals and Directions: Senator Wetig reported the committee met on August 24, 2005, and returned its agenda items from the retreat. The committee discussed at length how to implement quality assurance. Exit testing's costs and benefits will be investigated and costs of a variety of exit tests will be distributed at the next meeting. Academic achievement is only one tool for assessment. Another might be how businesses (HR departments) view our graduates. How well prepared are they? On the matter of public relations and recruitment outreach, the committee addressed why UNO's image often does not reflect how good an education we deliver. In this respect, how can we reward faculty for outreach activities?
D. Committee on Professional Development: Senator Corcoran reported the committee met August 31, 2005. The committee:
- Discussed issues of diversity with regards to Professional Development. Discussion centered on faculty awareness of actions, words or gestures which are sensitive with regards to diversity and which might be undermining effectiveness in the classroom.Will investigate media products that might be used for new faculty orientation and presentations for existing faculty.
- Will recommend that UCAT include conferences concerned with diversity issues as "designated conferences" and that some method be implemented by which the information gathered at such conferences be shared.
- Senator Paterson reported that Vice Chancellor Christensen knew of no policy restricting support from the campus of appointment to faculty assigned to teach at other campuses. Recommend that President Glaser speak informally to Senate presidents at the other campuses to gain further understanding of the issue.
- Doug Paterson reported on inequities between Colleges at UNO concerning travel funds. Will spearhead a resolution for a "minimum level" of travel funds.
