Slow Roasted Asparagus
(Makes 2-4 servings, depending on how much you like asparagus and what else is served with it.
Serving Suggestions:
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed, then cut on diagonal
2 T extra virgin olive oil (more or less to taste)
1 T best quality balsamic vinegar (more or less to taste)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Take one piece of asparagus and hold by both ends and snap. This will give you a guide as to how much woody stem of the asparagus needs to be cut off (usually about 2 inches). Trim the rest of the asparagus pieces to that size, then cut on diagonal into 2 inch pieces.
Put asparagus in large Ziploc bag, pour in olive oil, vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Manipulate bag until asparagus is well coated with oil/vinegar mixture, then pour into ceramic or glass baking dish. Cook asparagus 20-30 minutes, removing from oven when asparagus is still slightly crisp and firm. (Start to check after 20 minutes and remove when it's as done as you like it; I like it still slightly crisp.)
South Beach Diet / Low-Carb Diet Suggestions:
This is a perfect side dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet or any other type of low-carb eating plan, including Whole 30 or Paleo.

By Dennis J. Carroll: The New Mexican
Advocates and families of the developmentally disabled, in the midst of a Roundhouse lobbying push for funding vital to the well-being of those in their care, hope they aren't just being "niced to death" by state lawmakers.
"In the last three days we've heard nothing but a willingness to help," said parent David Gifford on Friday. Gifford is the father of April Gifford, 46, who has been in and out of group homes much of her life.
Gifford was among about 200 family members, the disabled and their advocates who descended on the Roundhouse last week for their yearly Freedom/Disability Day at the state Capitol.
Gifford and other advocates pointed to public encouragement from Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, a supportive House resolution and a bill in the Senate that would move $6.8 million to cover more services for the developmentally disabled.
"We were not encouraged," said Richard Klotz, executive director of Mosaic, an Omaha-based care provider that operates 10 group homes for the developmentally disabled in the Santa Fe, Taos and other parts of northwest New Mexico.
Mosaic's services include job coaching and employment assistance as well as supporting people who wish to live in their homes, develop functional and social skills and be involved in their communities. Mosaic also provides respite care to relieve caregivers and transportation.
Klotz was speaking of a January meeting with Department of Health Director Alfredo Vigil and Mikki Rogers, director of developmental disabilities services for the department.
Klotz said the Omaha-based provider will be forced to abandon its Santa Fe region group homes, which care for about 30 disabled persons and its "day hab" program, which offer a variety of recreational and educational services to 55 people, if the company does not receive an additional $1.4 million from the state to carry it through for the next two years.
Klotz said the high cost of operations — including the city of Santa Fe's nearly $10-an-hour minimum wage — have strained Mosaic's abilities since it took over from ResCare after the state canceled in its agreement with the firm in 2006.
Mosaic currently receives $5 million a year to operate the group homes and day services services in its northeast region, Klotz said. The company also runs similar homes and provides services in Farmington and Grants, but they are not threatened with cutbacks or closures.
Mosaic employs 118 people in its northeast region, who are provided medical insurance at no cost to the workers, Klotz said.
"There is no recognition (from the state) that the cost of living is higher here," Klotz said.
He said Vigil's and Rogers' response was that money is tight all over, but that they would get back to them later this month.
Vigil announced Tuesday that other providers are ready to provide care to people who are currently receiving services through Mosaic. He said that Mosaic has notified the department that it will end most of its services in northeastern New Mexico effective June 30,
The northeast region covers Santa Fe, Rio Arriba, Taos, Los Alamos, San Miguel, Colfax, Union and Harding counties.
A statement released by Vigil said that Mosaic asked the department to amend its provider agreement to allow it to provide only family living services, up to 24-hour support for one person in a family setting, to 34 people in its northeast region.
Vigil said Mosaic is required to continue serving people until they have been transferred to a new provider.
Parent Gifford said it's been a life-long battle to ensure the safety and health of his daughter, who endures major trauma every time she is forced to move from one group home to another.

Retro Red Derby Sports a Can-Do Spirit
By Fritz Hahn
Washington Post Weekend Section
Friday, November 2, 2007
The Red Derby, a new bar in Columbia Heights, has a bunch of fun gimmicks. All beers are served in cans -- no bottles, no drafts. A beer-and-a-shot combo costs $5 all day, every day. Customers can bring their MP3 players, plug them into the bar's sound system and play a few songs while hanging out or shooting pool in a small back room.
From the pub grub to the stripped-down decor, which is just a few black-framed mirrors on blood-red walls, everything about the place feels right. It's not surprising that the homey little tavern was opened by two former bartenders. Sasha Carter and David Leventry spent years slinging drinks around town, in meat markets such as Sign of the Whale (Leventry) and Third Edition (Carter) and in the more upscale Local 16 and Blue Gin, before opening their own place in Adams Morgan last summer. Problems with the landlord meant the bar closed barely two months later, but the Red Derby is back.
You would expect to find the so-blue-collar-they're-hip Schlitz, Pabst Blue Ribbon and Natty Boh for $2 a pop, but the Red Derby's selection (scrawled on chalkboards above the bar) contains a few serious finds. Belgium's Bavik pilsner shows up in aluminum, as does the refreshing Flemish wheat beer Wittekerke. Beer lovers rave about crisp Dale's Pale Ale and rich, malty Scottish-style Old Chub, both from the Oskar Blues brewing company. Also on the menu: Brooklyn Lager, Young's Double Chocolate Stout and New England Brewing's Seahag IPA. Carter says that aside from just being "a cool idea," serving beer in cans keeps prices down; most cost $3 or $4.
The chalkboard also features a rotating $2 shot special, which, as I write, is the Woo Woo, a "classic" party mix of peach schnapps, cranberry juice and vodka. The owners love classic cocktails, so they've come up with daily specials, including Sidecar Sunday and Tom Collins Tuesday.
The throwback spirit pervades the menu: Burgers and sweet potato fries meet veggie platters and what could be my new favorite bar snack: macaroni and cheese in a fried triangle shell.
One non-retro move: Anyone can program 10 to 15 minutes' worth of songs on their MP3 player and hand it to the bartender, who plugs it into the stereo behind the bar. (If no one has a playlist, the tunes come from the owners' laptop.) As the songs play, classic films are silently projected onto a wall.
Open for just a few weeks, the Red Derby is becoming a neighborhood fixture: Denim-clad hipsters, older couples and families jostle for space at small tables, which were picked up at a diner's going-out-of-business sale. Many greet the staff by name. Some people may be unnerved by children in bars, but I've seen babies in parents' arms on almost every visit.
The Red Derby is certainly worth a visit. Look for the building near 14th and Spring streets NW with a red derby painted over its door.

An alternative to leasing farmland is a custom farming agreement (CFA). In a typical CFA, the custom operator agrees to perform all the machine operations on the owner's land in exchange for a set fee or rate. The landowner pays for all seed, fertilizer, chemicals, crop insurance and other input costs; receives the all grain produced and all eligible farm program payments on the land; and is responsible to store and market the grain.
Following are the average custom farming for 2011, based on the Iowa Farm Custom Rate Survey (includes tillage, planting and harvesting costs):
One obvious advantage to the custom operator is that a CFA provides some extra farm income, with little or no additional operating capital or farm machinery investment. Fuel, lubrication and repairs are usually the only added costs. In addition, custom farming offers a fixed return per acre to the custom operator, and although there is some possibility of higher repair bills, this is minor compared with the price and yield risks typically faced by a farm operator in a normal cash rental contract. Of course, in a good year, profits from a CFA will be lower than under most cash rental leases; however, in this era of much higher land rental rates there is much more risk to the farm operator with a cash lease as compared to a custom agreement with a landowner.
Landowners also find several advantages to a CFA. Landowners with small acreages can make most of the crop production and grain marketing decisions without the investment into a full-line of farm machinery. The landowner does not have to negotiate land rental rates or worry about collecting lease payments, since the owner receives all of the crop. The landowner does have to pay the farm operator an agreed upon per-acre fee for the custom farming services by specified dates. The landowner is considered to be the material participant for income tax purposes, and the landowner is typically entitled to all government farm program payments.
Key Issues With Custom Farming Agreements
Although the concept of a CFA is simple, close communication between the custom operator and the landowner is essential. A written contract should definitely be prepared that specifies the amount of payment by the landowner to the custom operator, and all other pertinent details. Following are some points to consider CFAs.
For more details on CFAs and other farm machinery information, please refer to the Iowa State University Ag Decision Maker website.

Looking for diamonds in kimberlite deposits can be an Indiana Jones-type adventure. In Wyoming's Iron Mountain, for example, rattlesnakes abound.
"Many of the kimberlites, a rock type that has been successfully mined for diamonds, are infested with rattlesnakes. Some days you can walk across them and hear the rattlesnakes rattle in their holes under your feet," geologist Dan Hausel said. "It really keeps your eyes peeled to the ground."
Hausel, an economic geologist for the Wyoming State Geological Survey, has been investigating potential diamond sources in the state. He's discovered that the kimberlite district at Iron Mountain contains 50-60 percent more kimberlite than was previously mapped. Furthermore, Hausel's recent geochemical analyses suggest that a large portion of the deposits may be a potential diamond source. The kimberlite district in Iron Mountain is one of the two largest in the United States.
In another treasure hunt, Hausel discovered a deposit of gem-quality rubies, sapphires, and iolites in the Laramie Range. (Sorry, Indiana, these gems won't go in a museum. A Colorado company filed mining claims on the site and will sell these gems for jewelry.)
"After realizing that there was a connection between these gemstones and the type of rock that it was found in (vermiculite), I began investigating other vermiculite occurrences and found that a few others in Wyoming also contained corundum," Hausel said. "In Wyoming, corundum is sometimes formed in vermiculite. Gem-quality corundum is known as either sapphire or ruby depending on its color."
Hausel will present these findings in two presentations May 9 at the Geological Society of America's Rocky Mountain Section Meeting at Southern Utah University.
So, what about those diamonds in Iron Mountain?
"We tested the chemistry of the kimberlites and most appear to be favorable to host diamonds," Hausel said. "One sample collected in the early 1980s was reported to contain one diamond. We have another district about 45 miles to the south known as the State Line district where there are at least 40 diamondiferous kimberlites that have produced more than 130,000 diamonds including gemstones up to 28.3 carats."
But we won't know for sure about the diamonds in Iron Mountain. Funding for the project was discontinued.

Clean programs are rarity. There is so much potential for skaters to make mistakes that Mao can't be counted out, if she is the one skater to skate two clean programs. She needs to forget about the triple axel. She can do just as well with a double axel-triple toe as she can with her under-rotated or two-footed triple axel.

When Drew Nystrom first crossed paths with University of Illinois head football coach Tim Beckman, Nystrom was an aspiring college offensive lineman and Beckman wasn't yet a head coach.
Nystrom, a Prairie Ridge graduate who started 34 career games at NCAA Division I Bowling Green, spent two years on the school's scout team. Each day in practice, he went against Falcons defensive coordinator Beckman's squad.
"I knew him as well as a freshman offensive lineman can know a defensive coordinator," Nystrom said with a laugh.
Last summer, Nystrom worked several of Beckman's Illinois football camps.
"I got to know him a little more then," Nystrom said.
The two will work together again this fall when Nystrom takes over as the offensive graduate assistant for the Illini after two seasons coaching the offensive line at D-III Dubuque.
"I knew I wanted to be at the D-I level," Nystrom said. "It's where I played."
Nystrom will work under offensive line coach A.J. Ricker and offensive coordinator Bill Cubit.
"I'll throw my two cents in where it's needed," Nystrom said.
At Dubuque, Nystrom benefited from working with head coach Stan Zweifel and helped guide the Spartans to the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title in 2011 and a 14-7 record in two seasons.
"I was incredibly fortunate to work at Dubuque and have a lot of freedom coaching the offensive line and working with the run game," Nystrom said. "I worked for a great head coach. He had the confidence to allow me to change a few protections and a few run schemes. My time at Dubuque was outstanding."
Nystrom said he welcomes a chance to work with the Illini's offensive linemen.
"There's just something about the O-line that appeals to me," he said. "I played it, and I know it. I get those guys. They don't care about accolades. They show up and they work. That's been the case for groups I've had everywhere."
Nystrom said he hopes to advance his career as a future D-I coach on the offensive side of the ball first.
"I'd like to coach tight ends or offensive line to start with," he said.
During his short time in Champaign-Urbana, Nystrom has forged a bond with Beckman and several other coaches on the staff.
"We have a great mix of guys on our staff," he said. "We really get along well."
Carthage achievers: A group of five local men's soccer players from D-III Carthage College has qualified for next year's Chicago World Cup 7 vs. 7 men's soccer tournament.
Crystal Lake South grad Jordan Innis, who was a senior last fall for Carthage, was part of the team, along with Johnsburg grads Michael Dombrowski, who will be a junior this season, and Kevin Dombrowski, an incoming freshman. Jacobs grads Greg and Taylor Pignataro also were members of the squad, which represented Argentina. Greg Pignataro was a senior last season. Taylor Pignataro will be a junior this fall.
Carthage assistant coach Andrew Gamarra, who is of Argentinian descent, was part of the team as well.
The Argentina team won a qualifier June 29 in Chicago, defeating Poland, 5-1, in the final. In the semifinals, the Carthage athletes helped knocked off a U.S. team in a penalty-kick shootout.
Football accolades: Five local players from the NCAA Division III College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin have been chosen as members of the USA Football preseason All-America teams.
Augustana running back Eric Chandler (Cary-Grove) and North Central offensive lineman Greg Whalen (Marian Central) were named to the second team. Elmhurst tight end Vince Gabrys (Harvard) and North Central defensive tackle Josh Fick (Crystal Lake Central) and wide receiver Chad O'Kane (Richmond-Burton) were chosen for the third team.
Elletts on par: Northern Illinois University golfers Taylor Ellett and Connie Ellett helped Team Kishwaukee win the 91st annual Women's Lincoln Highway tournament this month at Rock River Golf and Pool in Rock Falls.
The Elletts were part of a team that scored +124 in the best-against bogey tournament format over 36 holes. Connie Ellett, who will be an NIU sophomore this fall, finished second as an individual with a +28 score. Taylor Ellett, who will be a junior this fall, finished at +23.
Sterling resident Ember Schuldt, who will be a University of Illinois senior this fall, won her eighth consecutive title at the Women's Lincoln Highway event, posting a +34 total.

How much exercise do I have to do to live longer?
In this era of sedentary living (video games and Blu-ray) and working (office), couch potatoes know they should be doing some exercise, but many are loath to commit to more than necessary to be healthy and extend their lives. So for those among us who know they should do more but aren't sure what the "minimum" of "more" should be, a study out of Taiwan may help:
On the basis of the amount of weekly exercise indicated in a self-administered questionnaire, participants were placed into one of five categories of exercise volumes: inactive, or low, medium, high, or very high activity. We calculated hazard ratios (HR) for mortality risks for every group compared with the inactive group, and calculated life expectancy for every group.
Compared with individuals in the inactive group, those in the low-volume activity group, who exercised for an average of 92 min per week (95% CI 71—112) or 15 min a day (SD 1·8), had a 14% reduced risk of all-cause mortality (0·86, 0·81—0·91), and had a 3 year longer life expectancy. Every additional 15 min of daily exercise beyond the minimum amount of 15 min a day further reduced all-cause mortality by 4% (95% CI 2·5—7·0) and all-cancer mortality by 1% (0·3—4·5). These benefits were applicable to all age groups and both sexes, and to those with cardiovascular disease risks. Individuals who were inactive had a 17% (HR 1·17, 95% CI 1·10—1·24) increased risk of mortality compared with individuals in the low-volume group.
So take heart, couch potatoes, the minimums are in. 15 minutes is all that's asked to tack on another 3 years of the good life. About the same amount of time it takes to fast charge your smart phone. Or think of it as 8 trips to get beer and potato chips. You can do it. Join the low-volume exercise group now and 3 more golden years are yours for the taking.

"Oil Development in China: Current Status and Future Trends"
Journal Article, Energy Policy, volume 45, pages 43-53

The future of oil has become an important topic of the discussion of energy policy in China. This paper attempts to present a full picture of the current status and future trends of China's oil development through system analysis. First, we map a Sankey diagram of China's oil flow to reveal the physical pattern of China's oil supply and consumption. Then, we present the historical and ongoing trends of China's oil flow from key aspects such as oil demand, oil resource availability, technology improvement, and policy adjustment. Based on these understandings, we design three scenarios of China's oil demand in 2030, and analyze policy implications for oil saving, automotive energy development, and energy security. From the analysis, we draw some conclusions for policy decisions, such as to control the total oil consumption to avoid energy security risks, to enhance oil saving in all sectors with road transportation as the emphasis, and to increase the investment on oil production and refining to secure oil supply and reduce emissions.

ANTI-CATABOLIC MUSCULAR SUPPORT!!! Pure Glutamine Powder contains the 'conditionally essential' amino acid L-Glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue and plays a key role in many bodily functions. During stressful situations (i.e. heavy resistive weight training) the body can lose a large amount of glutamine. A loss of glutamine during exercise may be a signal for protein catabolism (muscle breakdown).
Glutamine supplementation has been shown to prevent the loss of body mass through the positive role it plays in protein synthesis and its action as a potent anabolic agent. When muscle glutamine levels are restored and in a positive nitrogen balance muscle synthesis can return to a normal rate. Glutamine also has actions on glucose metabolism and the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Glutamine converts to glucose without changes in either insulin or glucagen, the hormones that regulate blood sugar. During dieting, and times of carbohydrate depletion, glutamine can exert positive effects on the amount of body fat loss as well as the retention of lean body mass.
Prolab has given every aspect of formulation and quality special consideration and care. Potency & freshness have been given extra attention to ensure that you have selected
the highest quality nutritional supplement available.

Naah come on guys. It's too early to jump ship. We're still very much a float and we're just one game behind Indiana for the second spot in the East. In the light of the new pope. Have some faith fellas
I'm now starting to think Woodson's coaching capacity will only allow him to produce a "middle of the pack" team over a full season. Notice how we are starting to resemble his former ATL Hawks. Not horrible but not really great either... just good enough to compete. His strong talk at the beginning of the season has fallen off and it seems the players have tuned him out to a degree. I don't understand his love for Melo at the PF spot for this long. The guy made his name in this league playing SF, so I don't get it. Novak SHOULD NOT be a rotation player but yet he his and his defense has got to be the worst in the league. Way too many jumpshots and I'm starting to think Felton isn't happy with the way the offense is run. Woodson allows everyone to bring the ball up court and do whatever. IMO this takes Felton out the game and we need him to be locked in. We have the lowest points/assist ratio in the league!! No ball movement and a coach who isn't adjusting during the game.
I had a really bad feeling last night when I saw the look on Woodson's face as the team was getting anal raped. He is now a clueless coach and when he gets back to the Garden it will be fire and brimstone if he doesn't get these guys back on track. This is NYC... we don't care nothing about your feeling bro.
Real Talk
Naah come on guys. It's too early to jump ship. We're still very much a float and we're just one game behind Indiana for the second spot in the East. In the light of the new pope. Have some faith fellas
If the knicks are a first round exit then Woodson has to go
As far back as Feb., I had the feeling that the Knicks could either go to the FINALS or be swept in the first round. That thinking still remains the same. If Knicks end up facing Nets, Celtics or Bulls in the first round (which will most likely happen), who here is confident we advance to the second round?
Still, let's not all jump ship just yet. Let's not forget for you long we wished just to have a top-4 team in the conference. This season has always been about 2 things: Carmelo and the 3-point shot. Throw out everything else... JR's shot selection, playing Priggs & Copeland more, the coach... All of that is just background noise.
The Knicks will get healthier ('Melo will be better come May; Shumpert will be rounding into form; Felton feeling better)... It all boils down to IF the 3s are falling in round one. If the Knicks are hot, and shots are falling... they'l beat whoever they face. IF this happens, and they survive the first round... Then game is on.
Maybe Wallace & Ama're return. Maybe they get Indiana or maybe they get Miami. Either way, if they have a series under their belt, if they are pufed up with the confidence that comes with that, if Melo is able to handle the load in the 4th quarter, and we are draining are 3s... We'll get to a game 6... and then anything is possible.
I seriously doubt we beat MIAMI or advance to the NBA FInals. Even if we win a series, or even 2, I doubt our three-point shot keeps falling for a month.
The point is... there's always hope. Let's put aside our "dream" to attain the #2 seed. Who cares about seeding now? Just be a top-4 team. Get homecourt in round 1. Get healthier and be ready for playoffs. After all, come playoff time.. you know the effort on defense will be there. We will play a more team-orientated, share-the-ball type of game... The bright lights will be on... Then, if we beat Nets, Bulls or Celtics... Who knows what happens?
You really have to love fickle NY KNICK so-called fans....This thread starter-hater cried and cried" we don't need Melo; he hurts the team; he's selfish; we should't have made the trade...." blah, blah, blah. Guess what???? You jinxed the team and MELO is back in NY getting his knee drained. YOU GOT YOUR WISH, NOW SHUT-UP AND WATCH!!!! You guys asked for less Melo and deeper rotations...You got your wish....MELO has to get healthy for the playoffs...So your gonna get all the Copeland/Prigs/Camby/Thomas/K-Mart that you wanted because Melo/STAT/CHANDLER are out. So just SHUT-UP and enjoy what you asked for. The next 3 games are on national tv for all of us out market fans that can't or won't shell out for the league pass. Once we get top the playoffs, all bets are off and everyone starts with the same record. All we need is a ticket to the dance and we still sitting pretty
I think, with Stat, Melo, Tyson out, we will be lucky to have home court adv. in the first round. Forget about second place.
Secondly, if we continue playing stupid iso, selfish bball, with no ball movement, no effort on D, we are out after the first round, and it does not matter who is the opponent.
Finally, Mister Woodson is a big problem. As someone said in this thread, he is a players coach but in a bad way.
It looks like this group of guys needs someone like Popovich, or a green baret general who is not going to take any BS from any player.
Ahh, gotta love this time of the year. Turmoil and panic. Best threads are made during this time.
in 99 Knicks had Larry Houston Sprewell all there was same age but they were faster and played much better but JVG made diffrences. They hit @ heat as 8seeded team
T-Hardaway was Lebron as Pg PJ Brown and Mashburn with Majerle were same killers as Allen Wade but they were fighting 4 seasons . Now i see nothing only Melo and something from JR.
Knicks can hit @ Celtics Hakws Bucks. East record are pretty even from 5-7. Everything is possible. But winning is needed.
Wilson: $5mi + Gallo: $9mil + Lee: $10mi = $24 mil
Melo: $22mil + Amare: $20mil + Chandler: $13mil= $55 mil
dont compare contract from other franchise to Knicks. They could even pay more. Nuggets have same coach for almost 10 years Knicks have just brainless coaches
Current Nuggets have 1 of best PG and one of fastest.
Knicks gave up too much for MELo and signing gradpas
+ just look @ msg site knicks section MELO looks devastated this guy looks almost like crying
JR says "we dont come out we have to compete"
and when i am lookin into Novak i dont know if this guy is caring about winning or loosing when only his job is shoot 3s.
Breen says few times Nuggets using 3-7 secs to play fastbreak when Knicks wasting this time for dribbling
Add Gallo: $9mil + Lee: $10mi with Chandler 13 mil that would have been three good players for the knicks.

Time for the "What if" moment
What if late in the race Brad is leading (or wherever in the top 15) & JJ is trying to get by him. JJ accidentally (quote, unquote) gets into brad wrecking him. Giving JJ enough points to win the title.
Question is 2 parts.
What do you think Nascar would do in this situation if anything at all?
& what would you do in this situation if you were the shot caller for Nascar?
Now keep in mind. Everyone believes JJ made contact on purpose, but it wasnt blatant enough to absolutely say he did it on purpose.
Dont give the cop out answers like JJ would never do that, that isnt part of this what if.
Curious what people think would happen on both questions. I know it wouldnt be an easy answer.

Bill Barrett reports lower 1Q earnings
- published_in
- Today's News
The Denver-based oil and gas producer's plans for this year include a working interest in 28 Niobrara wells in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the company said in its earnings statement. It plans to add a second rig in the D.J. Basin this month.
Bill Barrett also said it began drilling on its acreage in the Chalk Bluffs in Northern Colorado during the first quarter. The company currently has 17,300 net undeveloped acres in the area. (There are no drilling leases in the Chalk Bluffs Natural Area, a 640-acre state park in Weld County.)
The company's oil and gas production totaled 28.2 billion cubic feet equivalent in the first quarter, up 21 percent from the same period last year, the company said. That included a 62-percent increase in oil production.
Bill Barrett's current D.J. Basin production amounts to 1,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The company said it has nearly doubled production in the area since the middle of 2011.
"I am particularly excited about our pace of growth in the Uinta and D.J. Basins, as well as results to date in Chalk Bluffs, where we plan to drill several Niobrara wells this year," CEO Fred Barrett said.

Illinois State Board of Education honors winners of first homeless education poster contest
Seventh-grader highlights impact of homelessness on families, children and youth
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) recognized the importance of homeless education in Illinois by honoring the winners of the 2007 Homeless Education Poster Contest at an awards luncheon today in Springfield. Ce-Onna Bailey, a seventh-grader at Pleasant Valley Middle School in Peoria, was chosen as the winner of ISBE's first homeless education contest.
"The artwork entered in this year's competition was outstanding. It is unique to see a student's perspective on this important issue," said State Superintendent Christopher Koch. "The education of our homeless children is a priority for the State Board of Education. Regardless of why or where students may be homeless, they have a right to go to school."
Students in fifth through 12th grade were invited to participate in the first statewide art poster contest focusing on homelessness and its impact on families, children, and youth in education. The contest was held in conjunction with National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week, which was November 11 – 17, 2007.
Ce-Onna's color pencil entry depicted her view of the plight of homelessness. The poster shows in great detail the various living arrangements available to the homeless.
Each of the three top winners will receive an award pin, their posters framed, plus tickets for the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library & Museum in Springfield. The first-place winner also receives a $750 savings bond, while second-place and third-place winners receive a $500 savings bond and $350 savings bond, respectively.
The 2007 Homeless Education Poster Contest winners and honorees includes:
- Winner: Ce-Onna Bailey, seventh-grade, Pleasant Valley Middle School, Peoria
- 2nd Place: Stephanie Ashton, junior, Richwoods High School, Peoria
- 3rd Place: Daniel Diaz, senior, Limestone Community High School, Bartonville
- Honorable Mention winners:
The Illinois State Board of Education has also made training school personnel to compassionately identify students as homeless a priority. Data collected by local school districts in 2006 indicated approximately 18,000 students in Illinois schools were homeless. However, based upon the most current research methodology, and the 750,000 students who receive free or reduced price lunches, it is estimated that the number is more likely 60,000 homeless students in Illinois.
Additional information on homeless education issues can be accessed at http://homelessed.net or by calling the Illinois State Board of Education Information Hotline at 800-215-6379.

Freedom New Mexico
Habitat for Humanity of Eastern New Mexico is ready to begin work on its seventh home with a work day Saturday.
According to Executive Director Joyce Davis volunteers will gather at 8 a.m. Saturday at the home site at 313 E. Kaywood in Portales to remove trees and prepare the site for foundation work. Davis said a project normally takes about six months.
"It's something we've dreamed about," said Habitat office manager Amanda Johnson. "We're happy to be able to build again."
The future homeowner selected for the project is single mother Wendy Turner of Portales.
The homeowner and their family must put in at least 500 hours of work on the house and when it's completed they pay for their home with a no-interest mortgage that is normally lower than the price of rent.
Davis said the organization is making a transition with this home. She said retired Portales contractor Gene Collins will be taking on the role of project manager.
"He's going to be giving us directions and showing us what to do," Davis said.

Former Iowa fire chief gets 10 years for theft
Published On: Mar 26 2013 08:49:18 AM CDT
A former fire chief in western Iowa has been sentenced for stealing from taxpayers.
Online court records say 42-year-old Michael McKinnon on Monday was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He'd been convicted of theft.
McKinnon served Denison as chief from January 1999 to January 2010, when he left under a cloud of questions about his spending. A state audit cited more than $95,000 in spending, including about $40,000 paid to businesses he owned. The spending included invoices for post office boxes that did not exist.
Other spending included a riding lawn mower and a motor for his boat.

Chevrolet uCorvette ZR-1 bak Valve Cover Gasket Replacement Cost.
Using high-quality valve cover gaskets will reduce the chance of recurring leaks and additional repairs.
When replacing the valve cover gasket, we recommend having a valve adjustment performed, if applicable. Since the valve cover is removed to adjust the valves, this will save in labor costs.
Valve cover gaskets need to be replaced when they begin to leak oil. They can damage other Chevrolet uCorvette ZR-1 bak engine components, especially belts and hoses.
Oil leaking from valve cover gaskets can result in a burning smell coming from under the hood.
Components such as spark plug tube seals and grommets can also leak oil, which can be mistaken for a leaking valve cover gasket. The seals and the valve cover gasket should always be replaced together.

new to the board guys...hopefully we can party like its 1999 except with a title this time....
but am i the only one that thinks we gave up too much for him? im talking about our future draft picks, the players we had on the roster were garbage anyways lol
yeah i mean if camby had years on him id be all for it...but hes 38 and idk how much he has left and i remember reading an article where he wanted to be a starter so i hope his ego can handle the fact hes with the dpoy lol
For some reason I just ain't feeling Randy Foye but good call on James Anderson bro. Forgot about him for a sec. Dude's 6'6", a good athlete and he can shoot and score..6'6" Alonzo Gee wouldn't be a bad pickup either. Similar to Anderson... I forgot to mention both of these guys on my SG post yesterday.
I betcha we end up with Sonny Weems. Usually where there's smoke there's fire (I heard last week the Knicks were interested in Weems). I bet they'd like to stick it to Toronto a little too --- you took our guy Fields (and overpayed by a ton mind you, good luck with that Colangelo lol), we'll take your former guy Weems for a lot less. Thought I read somewhere that Weems hurt himself last year in Europe though -- having trouble confirming that. Anyone hear that? Is Weems 100%?
At this point, match the offer for Lin, resign JR Smith, go get another big 2 (Anderson, Alonzo Gee?), a 3rd string PG that's capable (Patty Mills?), maybe a 3rd center (Marcus Cousin), one more cheap big man that can score inside a little (Chandler & Camby aren't true offensive players & we could use one more big that can score behind Amar'e -- I like Darnell Lazare) and maybe one more cheap 2/3 swingman (I'd love Chris Douglas-Roberts, Scotty Hopson, Jamelle Horne, Sylven Landesberg, Austin Freeman, Ryan Wittman or Hollis Thompson --- won't happen though -- if they liked any of these guys, CDR would be inked up already and/or 1 or 2 of these other guys would be on the summer league roster..Maybe this guy Jeff Brooks from Penn State they have on their SL team -- looks intriguing) at let's go to war!!

The Cambyman Can.....Welcome Back(Cue the Welcome back Kotter music!!!!!)OYB( Oh yeah baby!!!!
Does anyone else feel like we gave up alot to get a 38 yr old guy who will play at most 20 min per?
I mean don't get me wrong I love Camby but he is old... and I really think Harrelson has some promise. Sorry to see him go.
Oh well
I'm happy Camby's back but idk..
Camby is the Joe Dimaggio of shot blocking.

News that flu vaccines are much less reliable than previously thought is causing a stir in public-health circles and prompting urgent calls for a better way to protect people from the virus.
An analysis by the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota has concluded that flu shots aren't as effective as most vaccines, offering only about 59 percent effectiveness in adults ages 18 to 64. The effort found "a paucity" of evidence of protection for those 65 or older, who are at higher risk of complications and death, and inconsistent evidence of protection in children.
Historically, public-health officials, including those at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have said that flu vaccine is 70 to 90 percent effective, based on studies that the Minnesota group says are flawed.
Experts maintain that the shots are safe, useful and the best existing protection against the virus, which kills anywhere from 3,000 to 49,000 Americans each year. Their message: We need to do better, but don't use this news to justify skipping the flu shot.
"We need a better vaccine," said Dr. Teresa Long, Columbus health commissioner. "In no way should we back off of getting the protection that is offered; we just need to understand it better."
Dr. Michael Osterholm, who formerly worked at the CDC, led the new analysis. It is one of the most-comprehensive reviews of a vaccine's effectiveness ever done and included evaluations of 12,000 publications on flu vaccine and interviews with almost 100 experts.
"We can no longer accept the status quo regarding vaccine research and development," wrote Osterholm in a preface to his group's report. "We hope that our efforts will serve as a catalyst to rapidly move the international influenza enterprise closer to developing game-changing influenza vaccines."
Previous overestimations of how well the vaccine worked might have stalled progress on newer vaccines, he and others have said.
In recent years, federal officials have recommended that an increasingly large number of Americans get the vaccine, suggesting it now for almost everyone over 6 months old. The report says those recommendations were based on professional judgment, not scientifically sound data.
An ideal vaccine would prompt an immune response to many strains of influenza, offering recipients more-comprehensive protection over a longer term, perhaps five or 10 years, said Dr. Mary DiOrio, state epidemiologist at the Ohio Department of Health.
"I think this really should heighten the awareness that we really need to look at developing a new vaccine," she said.
There are significant obstacles. Bringing a new vaccine to market can take 15 years and cost more than $1 billion, according to the report.
Experimental products are being investigated now. A more-potent vaccine is available for senior citizens, but it's unclear if the increased immune response to the vaccine will mean fewer illnesses and deaths.
And a couple of new products aimed at more than three strains of flu recently were approved. Now, annual flu vaccines are designed to provide protection against the three strains most likely to infect us in a given year.
For now, Long said, it makes sense to continue vaccinations and to emphasize vaccinating children, who tend to have the most-robust response. If enough kids are protected (and enough adults get vaccinated even with the limited efficacy), it should increase the overall protection against the spread of flu to all Americans, a concept known as "herd immunity."
Dr. Julie Mangino, an infectious-disease expert at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center, agreed that a focus on vaccinating children makes sense because of the potential for a better response to the vaccine and for other reasons.
"They are probably less likely to cover their cough and sneeze into a tissue and wash their hands as frequently as they should," she said.
Mangino, who like other experts is eager for a better vaccine, said she encourages everyone, not just kids, to continue to get the flu shots that are available.
"The vaccine is still really one of the best weapons we have to prevent influenza," she said. " It's still our best defense."
Flu season in Ohio already has begun. Activity was considered sporadic as of mid-November. Infections typically escalate around the holidays as more people gather together indoors. Vaccine is widely available this year.

Ferry schools taking anti-bullying action
MARTINS FERRY The Martins Ferry School District is continuing to pursue its policy against bullying. A parent had recently contacted the Times Leader with accounts of their child being bullied and of hearing similar complaints from other parents.
Superintendent Dirk Fitch said all of the building administrators take an active role in monitoring student behavior and safety.
"Each school year begins with every student going through the student handbook that discusses student expectation and discipline policies including anti-bullying information. Our middle school, as part of the River Schools Initiative and its Safe and Healthy Schools Program, incorporates the Olweus Ant-Bullying Program. The program teaches our students what bullying is and how to react to it in a positive manner."
He added that complaints of bullying have been minimal, adding that the Olweus program defines bullying as repeated negative actions occurring during a period of time when the subject of bullying has difficulty defending themselves.
"Please rest assured that whether the complaint upon investigation registers as bullying or something else, the incident is dealt with," he said. "Our job as educators is to try to develop an environment where no student feels threatened and that all students have a chance to succeed. Just like any other subject, you try hard to have 100 percent effectiveness, but we all know that is just not feasible."
Fitch said there is no particular age range or type of student more likely to bully or be bullied. He said the district makes constant adjustments as new laws are passed, or as recommendations come down from the Ohio Department of Education, the Ohio School Boards Association or Buckeye Association of School Administrators. They contract with NEOLA, a group that writes policies under the advisement of school law attorneys.
He asks students and parents to please contact their building administrator or their child's teacher in whatever school or district the child attends.
"Parents and guardians must also know that investigating these types of incidents is not a quick process. Sometimes an investigation takes longer than anyone wants. Please also be aware that some complaints cannot be proved or they may be in fact disproven. Facebooking or Tweeting complaints does not help school officials solve the problem. Posts on the social media sites causes all sides to get in a defensive mode and makes investigating difficult. These sites only fan the flames and adds additional hurdles to solving the problem. Most importantly, I want all parents to know that the vast majority of Martins Ferry students come to school, have a great experience, and receive an outstanding education as our latest state data demonstrates."

This camera is amazing. It takes great pictures and has great focusing abilities. I do appreciate that it comes with 2 different t size lenses. To get you started
Almost all I would want from an intro level DSLR
By Manthony
from Indianapolis, IN, USA
I am a semi Pro Photographer and I have some very very expensive equipment. I take very good care of this equipment and generally only use is for commissioned shoots or important personal events. The usual substitution for a DSLR is a point and shoot or a mirrorless camera but I am not the biggest point and shoot fan and I am really really disappointed with Nikon's 1 series. So what I usually do is I have an older Intro Level DSLR to take with me everywhere and if anything happens too it, well darn but no biggy. I recently replaced my old D60 with the D3100 and so far I absolutely love it. It is an intro level camera so we are talking bare bones and basic and with all things you do get what you pay for but I make no apologies for this little trooper. If you are looking for an intro level DSLR as a first DSLR or to upgrade from an aging model then look no further. The D3000 series is an excellent line. It has all of the auto modes you could ever ask for for the newbies so do not be intimidated by the idea of this being too much camera for you it is incredibly user friendly. But my favourite part is that this camera grows with you as you develop your skill and knowledge. So get to know it, take some classes, get some more kit to expand your abilities but have no doubt it will keep up with you every step of the way. To be fair this is not a camera I would take on commissioned shoots but even then get the right lighting and the right lens and there really is no reason you couldn't if you wanted. My only bones to pick with the D3100 are that for video (and I shoots stills, I could hardly care less) the sound and the auto focus are terrible but again you get what you pay for and this model was never really intended to be strong in video. If you are looking for a video capable intro level camera then you will love the D5000 series with much better sound and auto focus. And the only actual legitimate complaint I have with the D3100 is there is no Inferred sensor to allow wireless remote control. Why? Why would you do that you have always had it in you DSLRs, why cut it from this model? Fortunately Nikon fixed this issue in the D3200 and D3300 models. Two amazing intro level DSLRs in their own right. So aside from one mirror annoyance I have to say, great job Nikon I am a life long Nikon shooter but I know, love and use most other brands as well, still I am pleased I chose Nikon for my kit. If you are looking for an intro Level DSLR the D3100 and it's successors the D3200 and D3300 are excellent choices that are perfect for complete beginners and grow with you every step of the way.

I love this camera
By laura
from Reading, PA, USA
I got this camera as a birthday/christmas present and I couldn't be happier with it! Not only does it take amazing photos and videos, but it's super easy to use and it has so many fun features!! This camera came with two different types of lenses and the standard battery/charger. As someone who has recently taken up photography as a hobby and loves to travel, this camera is definitely worth it and has come in handy for fun adventures as well as school projects. If you want a great DSLR to start out with, I'd recommend this camera/model.

Almost inmediatelly was stolen my Nikon D80, had to buy a D3100, did not have enough money for something else at the time. but what a great surprise... Excellent picture quality, very easy and intuitive controls, allows great learning thanks to their guide mode. and given its size and weight makes it very comfortable to carry around ... a very good camera to start and continue

Archer, who starts his first game of the season and 28th of his career Thursday, was acquired in 2011 in a trade with the Chicago Cubs that shipped Matt Garza out of Tampa.
He finished third Rookie of the Year voting last season behind teammate Wil Myers. Archer was 9-7 with a 3.22 ERA in 23 starts last season.
---New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira admits he has accepted that his wrist will never be the same as he continues to recover from last season's surgery.
"It's never going to be normal. (There will be) a new normal and hopefully it will get stronger," Teixeira told the New York Daily News after Tuesday night's 6-2 loss to the Houston Astros.
Teixeira went 2-for-3 with an RBI single in the season opener. He will be 34 years old on April 11.
---It took all of seven innings this season for Wilson Ramos' familiarly bad luck to appear. The Washington Nationals catcher is out at least four weeks with a broken bone in his left hand.
Ramos, who played in just 103 total games the past two seasons because of two knee surgeries and a chronic left hamstring injury, left in the seventh inning of the Nationals' 9-7, 10-inning win over the Mets on Monday with a sore left hand. Ramos saw a hand specialist Tuesday, and manager Matt Williams confirmed Wednesday that he would miss at least a month.
Backup catcher Jose Lobaton, who went 1-for-2 with a run on Monday after replacing Ramos, figures to draw the majority of the starts with Ramos on the disabled list.
---The Los Angeles Dodgers received a double dose of bad pitching news. Two-time Cy Young Award-winning left-hander Clayton Kershaw will be on a "submaximal throwing program" for at least 2-3 weeks before his back strain will even be re-evaluated and right-handed reliever Brian Wilson went on the 15-day disabled list with a nerve impingement in the right elbow that underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2012.
Mattingly said Wilson felt pain in his elbow Sunday night while getting warm in the bullpen. He came in and gave up three runs, including a homer, to take the loss against the Padres. As for Kershaw, if he can not throw at 100 percent before being re-evaluated, it is unlikely he will see action before May.

J-Roll Smurf Brings Phillies Luck
Since Friday night's game did not go well, I decided that it was time for J-Roll Smurf to intervene and add a little Phillies Smurf magic to the equation. So, before the game on Saturday against the Cardinals, J-Roll Smurf enjoyed visiting personally with many of the Phillies players. The real J-Roll was excited to see his old buddy again and Ryan Howard laughed out loud as he thinks J-Roll Smurf is too awesome for words. Also rubbing the luck from J-Roll Smurf yesterday was Brad Lidge, JA Happ, Chad Durbin, Pedro Feliz, Scott Eyre, Clay Condrey, John Mayberry, Kyle Kendrick and Tyler Walker. And although a few Phillies, like Chan Ho Park and Jamie Moyer, seemed confused by the little blue mascot, J-Roll Smurf rubbed his luck upon them anyway :O) You've gotta LOVE Photo Day:
And the Smurfy magic paid off with wins both Saturday and today for a series win over the Cards! In fact, the original J-Roll Smurf, Jimmy Rollins, nailed a GRAND SLAM on Saturday and then a 2-run homer today! There is no stopping him now!
In fact, during the last two games, the Phillies did a whole lot of this:
All these wins and entertainment too! On Saturday, some crazy guy tried to interrupt the game with a laser pointer to distract the Cards hitters and a very drunk guy named, "Sully" distracted the entire outfield crowd later on:
Here is the Photo Album from the entire 3-game series!
So the Phillies will hit the road for 3 games against the D-Backs and then 4 with the San Francisco Giants. I will be in San Francisco for all 4 – hope to see you there!

J-Roll Smurf certainly did bring the Phillies luck! How else to explain the victories?🙂 Love your pics and have a great time in San Francisco. Very exciting that you're coming west for that series.
Great Pics… really looks as though you had a lot of fun… my wife thinks the smurf had more fun being held by the players… warmer clothes for San Fran, it doesn't look as though it will be much over 60 degrees out there…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
I recognize Smurfs. Who are the guys in uniform?
Baron – I had a feeling you'd like that :O) LOL
Looks like you had quite the Smurfy weekend. Awesome job taking down the Cardinals. I think that the Cubs greatly appreciate it. You helped them get back on top in the Central. Sweet.
Our World Series rematch ain't looking so great. The Yanks beat us down tonight. I'm hoping for a better showing tomorrow. Ugh.

Community solar: model for the futureBy Allison Gillette
Commentary | August 01,2013If you took a poll in downtown Rutland, you'd have a hard time finding someone who doesn't like solar power. Most Vermonters understand that solar panels produce clean electricity that is sorely needed as we face the hot and rainy reality of climate change and look for ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
In fact, if you asked the average Rutland resident if they'd like to power their home with the sun, chances are you'd hear a resounding "Yes." Or actually, you might hear "Yes, but …."
Yes, but my yard is shaded by mature trees. Yes, but my roof is too small for solar panels. Yes, but I don't own my home. Yes, but I can't afford to invest in solar. Even though solar is now very affordable, and some options exist with low down payments, there are still too many barriers for most people to put solar on their home.
An innovative solar initiative is offering 50 Green Mountain Power customers in Rutland City and Town a new way to go solar — with no up-front costs, no panels on the roof or in the yard, and no need to own the place you live. To go solar this new way is simple, fast, probably saves you money and is very flexible. You simply sign a lease for three, five or 10 years and become part of the Rutland Solar Community. This is the first program which offers no-money-down, short-term leases anywhere in the United States. How do we do it?
NRG, the country's largest owner of solar energy systems, will build and maintain a solar array in Rutland large enough to power 50 households. Because of Vermont's progressive solar regulations, Green Mountain Power will give Rutland Solar Community members a cash credit on their monthly electric bill for all the energy these panels produce, and each member will actually be paying less per kilowatt-hour of electricity than they are paying now. It is simple. You sign the lease, and NRG and GMP take care of everything else. Whether you own or rent, whether you have a shaded roof or a little roof, NRG builds the array that provides power for you.
There has been a lot of excitement and activity this year around Rutland's effort to become the solar capital of New England by 2017. Solar arrays have sprouted at the Poor Farm and the Creek Path, and more are on the way at the College of St. Joseph, Stafford Hill Solar Farm and the Rutland Regional Medical Center.
The Rutland Solar Community gives almost every Rutland resident the opportunity to reap the benefits of this energy revolution and support the growth of solar power.
To sign up for community solar, or to learn more, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (802)855-3398. Options include a short lease for more flexibility or a longer lease for greater savings. The project is supported by Green Mountain Power, Vermont's largest electric utility, which has been dependably serving Vermonters for more than 100 years.
Allison Gillette is solar project coordinator at NRG Residential Solar. She lives in Rutland.MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Flu bug invades region
Whether in class, in line at the grocery store or at work, it has become hard to escape the sounds of sniffles, coughs and sneezes – flu season is upon us.
West Virginia Public Health Commissioner Dr. Marian L. Swinker said Friday that nearly 1,400 cases of flu have been confirmed across West Virginia.
Locally, Randolph-Elkins Health Department Infectious Disease Specialist Bonnie Woodrum said cases of the flu have doubled from week to week for the last three weeks.
"A couple of area schools are above their normal rate of absenteeism," Woodrum said. "The flu vaccine includes the identified influenza strains, and taking the flu shot gives folks a better chance of not needing hospitalization. Nothing is 100 percent effective, but the flu vaccine is a great defense."
The Randolph-Elkins Health Department still has flu vaccine available.
"We have regular clinics for the flu vaccine Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons," Woodrum said. Further information is available by calling 304-636-0396.
Davis Health System is helping conquer the flu by spreading the word that the best protection is prevention.
DHS has designed a flier and fact sheet, "Spread the word, not the flu," that will distributed to all elementary school children in Randolph, Tucker, Upshur and Barbour counties.
Influenza is a viral infection of the respiratory system that can cause mild to severe illness, and may lead to hospitalization and sometimes death. It is spread when respiratory droplets from one person land in the mouths or noses of people nearby.
The flu is also transmitted by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your own eyes, nose or mouth.
The flier recommends frequent hand washing to help reduce the chance of contamination from common surfaces. It also recommends using alcohol hand gel, which is 99.9 percent effective at removing germs and bacteria.
Signs and symptoms of the flu include fever, chills, cough, sore throat, runny nose, stuffy nose, body aches, headache, fatigue and sometimes diarrhea and vomiting. If you have the flu or are experiencing symptoms, you should stay home and avoid contact with others. This helps prevent the spread.
Ways to prevent catching the flu include getting a flu vaccine, covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue, avoiding contact with sick people, avoiding touching the T-zone (eyes, mouth, nose), frequent hand washing and keeping in good health by getting plenty of sleep, drinking fluids, exercising and eating nutritious foods.
Flu sufferers should get plenty of rest and drink clear fluids. Seek medical care for difficulty breathing, shortness of breath or chest pressure.
Davis Health System will be distributing free hand sanitizer at Elkins YMCA basketball games, basketball games at the Belington Civic Center and at the Elkins-Randolph County Chamber of Commerce Legislative Luncheon Jan. 30 at the Randolph County Community Arts Center.
Flu shots are available at Buckhannon Medical Center, DirectCare of Elkins, DirectCare of Parsons and the office of Dr. Amanda Pennington. A free flu shot clinic is slated for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 23 at HomePlus, at 22 Buffalo St. in Elkins.

Columbine flowers are always compared to butterflies due to their shape. These garden beauties are as beautiful in a vase as they are in the garden. Your grandmother enjoyed them as much as anyone today, but hers were probably not as colorful as the great hybrids we enjoy. Easterners know the Eastern Red Columbine as a treasured wildflower, but of course, the hybrids offer much larger blooms in a rainbow of colors.
All Columbines like rich, well-watered soil, so find a good spot for them and they'll reward you with a fantastic multi-colored display each year in late spring.

Inspection Report on The Consolidated Terrorism Watchlist Nomination Process at the Department of Energy
The Government-wide effort to place known or suspected terrorists on a national watchlist is a key weapon in the global war on terrorism. Accurate watchlists provide an import tool for national defense and border protection operations. They allow law enforcement and intelligence personnel to screen and monitor suspected terrorist travel, reducing the likelihood that terrorists may travel undetected to or within the United States.

Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski's "personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy": Can he do what he claims for cancer?
Last week, I wrote a magnum opus of a movie review of a movie about a physician and "researcher" named Stanislaw Burzynski, MD, PhD, founder of the Burzynski Clinic and Burzynski Research Institute in Houston. I refer you to my original post for details, but in brief Dr. Burzynski claimed in the 1970s to have made a major breakthrough in cancer therapy through his discovery of anticancer substances in the urine that he dubbed "antineoplastons," which turned out to be mainly modified amino acids and peptides. Since the late 1970s, when he founded his clinic, Dr. Burzynski has been using antineoplastons to treat cancer. Over the last 25 years or so, he has opened a large number of phase I and phase II clinical trials with little or nothing to show for it in terms of convincing evidence of efficacy. Worse, as has been noted in a number of places, high doses of antineoplastons as sodium salts are required, doses so high that severe hypernatremia is a concern.
Although antineoplastons are the dubious cancer therapy upon which Dr. Burzynski built his fame, they aren't the only thing he does. Despite the promotion of the Burzynski Clinic as using "nontoxic" therapies that "aren't chemotherapy" by "natural medicine" cranks such as Joe Mercola and Mike Adams, Dr. Burzynski's dirty little secrets, at least as far as the "alternative medicine" crowd goes, are that (1) despite all of the attempts of Dr. Burzynski and supporters to portray them otherwise antineoplastons are chemotherapy and (2) Dr. Burzynski uses a lot of conventional chemotherapy. In fact, from my perspective, it appears to me as though over the last few years Dr. Burzynski has pivoted. No longer are antineoplastons the center of attention at his clinic. Rather, these days, he appears to be selling something that he calls "personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy." In fact, it's right there in the first bullet point on his clinic's webpage, underlined, even! Antineoplastons aren't even listed until the third bullet point.
But what is "personalized gene-targeted cancer therapy," according to Dr. Burzynski? Here is how it is described:

Microsoft's Office apps for iPad ushers in new eraap photo
Microsoft General Manager Julia White gestures while talking about the Office 365 app during a press briefing Thursday in San Francisco. Microsoft unveiled Office for the iPad, a software suite that includes programs such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and works on rival Apple Inc.'s hugely popular tablet computer.
SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft has released an iPad version of its popular Office software suite, a breakthrough heralding a new era under a CEO who promises to focus more on the devices that people are using instead of trying to protect the company's lucrative Windows franchise.
Thursday's unveiling of the much-anticipated iPad apps for Microsoft's bundle of word processing, spreadsheet and presentation software comes nearly four years after Apple Inc. released the tablet computer that has contributed to a steady decline in sales of desktop and laptop machines running on the Windows operating system.
Microsoft's decision to relent to persistent demands to make its top-selling software application available on the world's most popular tablet comes seven weeks after the Redmond, Wash., company anointed Sayta Nadella as its CEO after being led for 13 years by Steve Ballmer.
The change in command gives Microsoft Corp. an opportunity to prove it's a more nimble company adapting to evolution of computing instead of clinging to its old ways.
Nadella, who has been working at Microsoft for 22 years, emphasized that he felt rejuvenated since taking over as CEO.
"You see things from a fresh set of eyes and fresh perspective," Nadella told a crowd of reporters gathered in San Francisco for his first major public appearance as CEO.
The Office app for the iPad represents a major step in the right direction for Microsoft, said FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives. "They finally looked in the mirror and realized they needed to go with the crowd in terms of iPads," Ives said.
Like several other analysts, Ives thinks the Office app for the iPad could generate an additional $1 billion in revenue for Microsoft. Although the Office app is free to anyone who wants to read Office's Word, Excel and PowerPoint programs on the iPad, it will require a subscription to Microsoft's Office 365 to create and edit documents on the device. The Office 365 subscriptions cost $70 or $100 annually, with the lower price placing more restrictions on the number and types of devices that can be used.
The Office 365 subscriptions also have been required to use Office apps built for the iPhone and Android phones last summer, so many iPad owners many already have one.
But millions of other people with iPads probably haven't had a reason to buy an Office 365 until Thursday. Nearly 200 million iPads had been sold through the end of 2013, meaning about 5 percent of those device owners would have to pay for a $100 annual subscription to generate an additional $1 billion in revenue.
Microsoft hasn't said how many Office 365 subscribers it already has, but Nomura analysts Rick Sherlund estimates the number at anywhere at between 14 million to 24 million. He estimates that the annual subscription revenue is running at about $2.5 billion.
Office has long been one of Microsoft's gold mines. In the company's last fiscal year ending June 30, the business division that is anchored by Office posted an operating profit of $16.2 billion on revenue of $24.7 billion.
The availability of an Office app also could encourage more people to buy an iPad. That, in turn, could siphon more sales away from laptops running on Windows, which also generates billions in licensing fees for Microsoft each year. This year, Gartner Inc. expects 271 million tablets to be sold this year, including those running on Windows and Android, versus a total of 277 million desktop and laptop computer. By the end of 2015, tablets should be outselling PCs by a wide margin, Gartner said.MORE IN World/National BusinessWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

A Pennsylvania woman is credited with stopping an accused bank robber by crashing into his getaway vehicle.
Robbery suspect Alexis Laskowski had to abandon his sport-utility vehicle about a quarter-mile from the heist in Warrington after the collision with Tina Gleim, police told York TV station WPMT.
Gleim, 51, was outside the bank Thursday when a shaken teller told her they had just been robbed.
"I thought, 'I can't stop him any other way, I might as well hit him,'" Gleim told the York Dispatch. "I saw an opportunity that I could stop a criminal from getting away with it."
Police arrested Laskowski, 38, shortly after the collision.
Gleim has survived Stage 4 colon cancer and the partial removal of her right lung, according to the Dispatch.
"I'd probably do it again if the timing worked out, if I had an opportunity," she said.

"Compassionate disruption." That's what Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell is calling his plan to remove homeless from city sidewalks.
Bill 7 became law more than two months ago, and the administration was forced to create new administrative rules before enforcement of the city's new sidewalk nuisance law could begin.
With those rules in place this Saturday, enforcement will begin Monday on July 1.
The major difference in the new law is that the city is no longer required to give 24 hours notice before removing tents and other items from sidewalks.
The new ordinance also charges a $200 fee if you want your property back within 30 days.
The law was the result of the deOccupy movement at Thomas Square, but there are many more areas for the city to tackle -- behind the Hawaii Convention Center, near the John A. Burns School of Medicine and A'ala Park, to name a few.
"We're going to go to the places where we've received a lot of complaints. No one area is going to be targeted," said Mayor Kirk Caldwell. "We'll do it broadly. We're going to the areas with the largest problems first and then work it from there."
"I've been told continuously that our shelters do, in fact, have dozens of beds available on any given night to shelter those folks who need the shelter," said Councilman Ikaika Anderson.
The ACLU of Hawaii has come out against the new law saying, "...enforcement will likely result in violations of the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments."'
The mayor says the city will follow the letter of the law to make sure property confiscation is being done correctly in case there is a legal challenge.
