|Indoor Triathlon:-
|Distance: Swim 10 Minutes, Bike 30 Minutes, Run 20 Minutes
The Indoor Triathlon is based on time rather than distance - meaning you receive points for going further in a specific period of time, not going faster over a fixed distance. Participants are graded on a curve. The furthest distance in each category gets the most points (actual number is based on total participants), the shortest receives 1 point, and your corefor the discipline is based on the points you achieve. All three disciplines count equally toward your final score. Therefore, your rank and score will not be determined until all participants have completed the event. The total event will be 75 minutes: 10 minutes in the pool, a 10-minute transition, 30 minutes on a spin bike, a 5-minute transition and 20 minutes on a treadmill. Transition times are fixed between events and do not count toward participantsscores. The transition times are planned to allow safe progression to the next discipline. I-Pods are allowed during this event.
At your designated start time, you will begin with a ten-minute swim in our indoor pool. Shift gears and spend the next thirty minutes in the cycling studio. Then race toward the finish line with twenty minutes on the treadmill.
You are allowed ten minutes to safely change from the pool to the cycling studio, and five minutes to move from the cycling studio to the treadmill.
Race volunteers record the total distance covered during your swim, bike and run. The more distance you cover, the higher your score.
We strive to provide excellent value to our both Life Time member and non-member participants. Expect a quality experience at these low prices!

Today I hear …
Whining about her sister having a bigger scoop.
Slamming doors.
The relentless buzz of the dryer–a load needs folded … again.
But I also hear …
"This dinner 'tasteses' good, Mama."
The C-chord sounding a bit like heaven on a tiny ukulele.
Tender, loving words in her sleepy bedtime voice.
This is what my life sounds like today.
And if I close my eyes and listen very carefully, that which sounds heavenly can overpower the noise.
Today I see …
Wet towels carelessly abandoned upon the bathroom floor.
Toothpaste blobs inhabiting the sink.
Weeds where flowers used to be.
But I also see …
Gentle hands putting dolls tenderly in their place.
A hole where a tooth used to be—her last baby tooth to go.
A love note written in kid penmanship resting on my pillow.
This is what my life looks like today.
And if I open my eyes and look very carefully, that which appears divinely perfect can outshine the mess.

How much do you know about your current provider, and how do you feel about him/her?
Try answering the questions in the Choosing a Provider Form [3] to see where there are gaps in your knowledge and if you are comfortable about all the answers.
If you are seeing an integrative provider, also complete the Questions for Integrative Providers Form [4].
When it comes to your health, you're the boss. It's time to hire a team of professionals who will partner with you to achieve your goals, whether they are to maintain or improve your health or better manage your symptoms.
Your search should start with your health insurance to find out which clinics and providers are available to you. Then consider the factors below.
This means looking at more than the diploma hanging on the wall of a provider's office. Look for a provider who is certified in the area where you need care. For example, a doctor caring for adults may be board-certified in internal medicine or family medicine whereas a doctor caring for children may be board-certified in family medicine or pediatrics. "Board-certified" means that the physician has advanced training in this area.
Nurse practitioners are certified in a variety of areas such as women's health, geriatrics, neonatal care, and pediatrics. Each specialization has its own certification process.
How many years has the provider worked in this area? If you're considering a procedure, how many has the provider performed? What is the provider's success rate?
Philosophy of care may mean many things, but it all boils down to how the provider perceives his or her role, particularly around treatment decisions. It is important to find someone who will listen and respect your decisions.
To learn about the provider's philosophy of care, consider interviewing him or her either in person or on the phone. Some practitioners may be willing to do this without charging. For others, you may need to schedule a visit.
Some basic interview questions might include:
It is important to have mutual respect between you and the provider. Ask yourself the following:
Providers generally work in a clinic or group practice and the policies and staff there can have a big impact on your satisfaction. See if you can find answers to the following:
Doctors only have privileges to practice at certain hospitals, so if you prefer one facility over another, make sure s/he can practice there. Some of the factors to consider when evaluating hospitals include:
Print the Choosing a Provider Form [16], a worksheet that helps you work through the decisions involved in choosing a provider.
Depending on where you live, some of this information may be available online. For example, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [17] offers a hospital locator and comparison tool on their website. The Leapfrog Group [18] provides information on healthcare quality at hospitals that agree to provide data, and 100 Top Hospitals [19] is another good resource for finding the best care available.
Another approach is to do a Google search for the name of the hospital and the words "quality scores" to ferret out information about specific hospitals.
Next, call the hospitals. Ask to speak with the Quality Department, or whoever can answer the following questions:
When looking for a surgeon, it is also good to ask:
Most healthcare providers will be supportive of your desire to get a second opinion and most insurance plans will cover a second opinion. But it is important to find out ahead of time. Call your plan's patient services representative and ask if they cover second opinions.
To find a provider for a second opinion, follow the same steps that you took to find your primary provider. Ask for referrals from family and friends, contact your health plan or managed care organization, check clinic websites, call a clinic directly, or ask your primary provider for a referral.
All of the tips on seeking a competent provider apply to integrative therapies as well. But sometimes finding the right integrative practitioner can be difficult.
There is more variability in training, and the regulations that govern integrative practitioners vary considerably from state to state.
However, qualified integrative practitioners make a great addition to your healthcare team. Here are a few tips for choosing one:
One of the best ways to find an integrative therapy provider is through a referral from someone you trust. Start talking with friends, co-workers, or neighbors about integrative therapists they have found effective. Many practitioners rely on word of mouth, so first-person accounts are helpful. Of course, you'll also need to interview the practitioner and check on licensure and/or other quality measures before committing to treatments. But asking for referrals is a good first step.
You may begin your search for an integrative provider by researching professional organizations and other resources online. This electronic research can offer certification information (e.g. how many hours a practitioner must study with an accredited school or instructor) as well as offer contact information.
For example, the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture [21] and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM [22]) provides an online directory that lists practitioners of Oriental medicine and acupuncture who are board-certified.
The American Board of Holistic Medicine is also beginning to certify doctors for holistic care, and offers names and contact information of certified holistic doctors state by state on their site. [23] Again, this is simply a starting place, and personal interviews and credential checks are essential in ultimately choosing your provider.
Licensure for integrative therapy providers varies widely by state. For example, chiropractors are licensed in all 50 states, whereas naturopathic physicians are licensed in only 14 states.
Once you've selected an integrative provider you'd like to meet, you can consider the items on the Choosing a Provider Checklist. However, here are some additional questions for integrative therapy practitioners:
Questions for Integrative Therapy Providers Form (Print [4])
It can also be useful to ask which insurance plans the practitioner accepts, in case you become interested in changing plans at some point (for example, through a change of employment).
It is important to find a provider that you trust and feel comfortable with. In addition to checking their professional expertise to make sure it matches your needs, ask about the provider's philosophy of care and see if corresponds with yours. Evaluate if you feel comfortable with the provider and think you could partner well with him or her in making your health decisions. Check out the clinic services and policies and find out which hospital the provider is associated with and check it out.
In addition, when checking out integrative providers, you may want to explore insurance coverage and your out-of-pocket costs.

Today marks the 20th anniversary of Hawaii's costliest natural disaster.
The eye of Hurricane Iniki took just 40 minutes to cross Kauai, but left a path of devastation that would take years to clean up.
The Category 4 storm affected 90 percent of the island's structures. More than 14,000 were damaged or destroyed.
In all, Iniki cost the state $2.8 billion dollars and caused six deaths.
Two decades later, forecasting is more accurate, but the push remains to get residents prepared.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Central Pacific Hurricane Center and Hawaii State Civil Defense held a news conference on this 20-year anniversary to remember the event and to share the additional satellites and changed in technology that now helps forecasters to track a storm more accurately, providing more time for residents to prepare.
"In 1992, our forecast only went out three days. It was the same as the entire U.S," said Ray Tanabe, director of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. "In 2003, we were able to increase that to five days and very likely, within the next 1-to-2-years, we're going to be providing a 7-day forecast for tropical cyclones."
The last major threat to the islands came in 2009 from Hurricane Felicia. And while it has been quiet, forecasters remind us we are in the peak of hurricane season when weather conditions, including cold fronts to the north, play a role in increasing the storm activity.
"As that gets going there's more of a draw for storms moving south of the state to be pulled to the north toward the islands," said forecaster Michael Cantin.
The message today: be prepared. Have a family emergency plan and seven days of food, water, and medicine on hand.
"The bottom line is we can't let our guard down and we always need to be prepared. The best warning we issue don't mean anything if you're not listening; if you wait too long or if you're not prepared," said Tanabe.

Jane Koten
Class Year:1955
Outstanding Alumni Award Winner 2007
Jane Koten '55 received an Outstanding Alumni Award for her long involvement in higher education, both through her roles at North Central College and her distinguished career as a high school guidance counselor and college coordinator.
"Once upon a time I walked across the stage of Pfeiffer Hall and President Geiger handed me my diploma ... I had little insight as to what it meant at the time, but 52 years later, I can see what it represented and I can hardly be more humble," Koten said at the Homecoming awards ceremony.
For many years, Koten was regarded as the "dean of college counselors in Illinois." After first teaching fifth grade, she went on to earn a master's degree in guidance and counseling at Northwestern University. She spent 22 years at Evanston Township High School in the guidance department and then became college coordinator at Glenbrook High School. A recognized expert in the area of college admission and financial aid, she has held leadership positions in professional organizations, participated in national forums and appeared twice on the MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour on public television.
Koten has served as president of the Alumni Association at North Central College and was a generous contributor to the renovation of Kiekhofer Hall and Koten Chapel, named for her parents, Roy Y.

"When my big brother [John Koten '51] and I stepped into the chapel again last year, I was grateful for so many things related to this place," she said.
She continues to be active as a volunteer at First United Methodist Church in Evanston, IL, as an attendee at symphony and opera performances in Chicago, and as a visitor to countries around the world. She resides in Winnetka, IL.
"The final musical piece at last night's Homecoming concert was written by Aaron Copland, who also composed 'Fanfare for the Common Man,"' she told the audience at the awards ceremony. "I accept this award today as a fanfare to the common woman from a very uncommon college, North Central."

The following is an excerpt of a conversation I had with a young earth creationist from about two years ago. This was soon after being falsely accused of positions I hold to and being called a heretic and non-Christian. In this conversation I'm actually called a poor witness to Christ because of my views. I've changed the name of the other student for confidentiality. I know it may be difficult to have the full context but you should be able to pick up the jist of it as you read along. Enjoy!
Jack, I appreciate that you feel I am a learned individual, but do you understand how seriously offensive your unsubstantiated accusations are? (My name is not Maxwell).
"First is an apology, I misinterpreted and claimed you believed in evolution (which is in fact heresy saying God is not the creator of the universe) when there is no evidence you actually. No you're right, I with this new evidence it is not a dividing line between believer and non believer."
I'm not an evolutionist, but theistic evolution does not deny God as creator of the universe. You claim that there is no evidence for evolution. I believe there is evidence for evolution and to totally dismiss it would be unwarranted. You may not like their evidence, or believe the evidence is wrong, but you cannot simply dismiss it as "no evidence."

India diplomat in US is transferred to UN mission
UNITED NATIONS The Indian diplomat who was strip-searched after her arrest in New York City on visa charges has been transferred to Indias mission to the United Nations, a former colleague said Wednesday.
Devyani Khobragade, who was Indias deputy consul general in New York, says she has full diplomatic immunity from prosecution. The State Department disputes that.
It is unclear how the move to the U.N. mission might affect Khobragades immunity.
But Secretary of State John Kerry called a top Indian official to express his regret over the incident, which has outraged India and put a chill in the countries relations. India has revoked privileges for U.S. diplomats in protest.
Khobragade was arrested last week outside of her daughters Manhattan school on charges that she lied on a visa application about how much she paid her housekeeper, an Indian national. Prosecutors say the maid received less than $3 per hour for her work.
She has pleaded not guilty. Her lawyer, Daniel Arshack, insisted she is and has always been covered by full diplomatic immunity.
State Department officials said Khobragades immunity from prosecution was limited to acts performed in the exercise of consular functions.
State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said Kerry called Indias National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon, who has slammed the diplomats treatment as despicable and barbaric.
In India, the fear of public humiliation resonates strongly, and heavy-handed treatment by the police is normally reserved for the poor. For an educated, middle-class woman to face public arrest and a strip search is almost unimaginable, except in the most brutal crimes.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the diplomats treatment as deplorable.
Venkatasamy Perumal, consul for press and information at the Indian consulate in New York, confirmed Khobragades transfer but declined to comment further.

Nowadays microprocessors based on ARM architecture currently power the absolute majority of handsets and a lot of other low-power consumer electronics. At the same time, at present ARM-based chips cannot offer enough performance to power personal computers, unlike x86-based chips. Nevertheless, some analysts believe that in four years time every tenth PC will be "ARMed".
By 2015, IDC expects that over 13% of PC processors will be based on the ARM architecture, International Data Corp. said in a recent microprocessor report.
Generally, it is widely believed that ARM Cortex-A15 technology will be able to offer generally high performance to power next-generation personal computers. At the same time, even Cortex-A15 is generally not a 64-bit architecture, which is why ARM will have to develop yet another microprocessor technology (or an extended version of the Cortex-A15 "Eagle") in order to properly compete against modern x86 chips in workloads that use a lot of memory.
Both Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp. believe that it is easier for them to cut power consumption of x86-based chips than for ARM to boost performance of its cores. As a result, the companies currently have two micro-architectures per company: one is designed for maximum performance (Bulldozer, Sandy Bridge), another is designed for lowest power consumption (Atom, Bobcat).
Even though ARM Cortex-A-based system-on-chips can power certain devices which can be called (to a certain degree) personal computers, those systems will hardly match high-performance x86-based PCs in terms of speed and capabilities.

Great Danes and hot Swedes
The Scandinavians are definitely having a moment, And not just on TV where, watching the superb Danish imports, The Killing, Borgen and Those Who Kill, which started on ITV3 last week, has become a paradigm of middle-class, cultural attitudes, or in pop-lit where Stieg Larsson, Jens Lapidus and Liza Markland regularly top UK bestseller lists.
The Scandinavians, as it turns out, are good at fashion, too, and not just for understated wardrobe staples for which they were once a byword.
Swedish chain H&M, which became part of the British high street landscape after launching in 1977 in Jewish North London's favourite mall, Brent Cross, is about to wow us with a guest collection from Marni, which arrives in UK stores on March 8.
Following in the footsteps of Stella McCartney, Lanvin, Versace, et al, Consuelo Castiglioni, creative director and founder of the quirky Italian label, has created a beautiful, very grown-up guest collection, full of her wild, punchy prints and muted colours. There are insouciantly droopy silk dresses and statement silk tops, print knee-length skirts, sleek leather bags, chunky platform sandals and her colourful, amusing jewellery.
H&M sister brand, Cos offers a grown-up, understated, polished vibe which stylish Brits have been quietly loving since the first branch opened in Regent Street in 2007. During last month's London Fashion Week no less a fashion authority than British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman, wore the brand's ankle-skimming print trousers.
Less ubiquitous than its sibling, Cos has just 11 UK branches, including Covent Garden, both London Westfields, Manchester and Brighton. For Spring, it offers its trademark, small palette of understated neutrals - navy, pale grey, putty and white - augmented by baby blue, peppermint and emerald green for ankle-skimming trousers, pencil skirts, cocoon tops, drop-dead simple shift dresses and tailoring, all done with a simplicity and cut that belies the (mainly under £100) price tags.
The Scandinavians are no slouches in the designer stakes, either. By Malene Birger; Acne, Day, Birger et Mikkelsen; Designers Remix; Rabens Saloner; Lollys Laundry; Rutzou and House of Dagmar along with footwear by Holy Moly, Camilla Skovgard and Billi Bi, have gained a serious foothold well beyond their home cities. The directional, beautiful and, it has to be said, unfortunately named, Swedish label, Acne, sold by Browns, My-Wardrobe and Net-a-Porter, demonstrates in its clever cutting, edginess and use of colour that you can hint at an Italianate sensibility while staying true to your cooler, north European roots. For spring, Acne offers fondant colours like lilac and rose, used for draped, racer-back dresses, simple shirts and T-shirts, alongside mouthwateringly pretty, pastel suede biker jackets, shapely knits and laid-back, stripey maxi dresses.
Day, Birger et Mikkelsen, sold at Matches, My-Wardrobe and Net-a-Porter, conforms more closely to the moody Scandinavian stereotype. Their S/S12 palette used for silk dresses, draped cardis, pretty blouses, playful tees and unstructured tailoring, rarely strays far from pale neutrals leavened by the odd flash of mustard yellow, bronze or pale rose.
The Danish brand with razzle-dazzle is By Malene Birger, stocked by Fenwicks W1, Net-a-Porter and My-Wardrobe. Birger is a Dane who loves colour and her Spring collection is infused with it: sizzling fuchsia, eye-popping emerald and peach, used for day and after-six dresses, sweet silk tops, simple shirts and razor-cut tailoring.
Pamela Shiffer in Primrose Hill regularly features Scandinavian collections among a cleverly edited range of international brands. These include Gustav, which combines silk and jersey for edgy draped tops and dresses; Sandwich, for easy, undemanding casuals, and Margit Brandt, who took her own 1960s back catalogue as inspiration for spring, for beautifully updated maxi dresses, jumpsuits, sheer blouses and paisley print dresses.

O basilaris is one of the easiest opuntioids to germinate. Just heat and water, sunshine and no standing air. But in our climate in Scandinavia humidity is the big challenge and they cannot grow outside at all. Inside the unheated greenhouse in terra cotta pots they do fine. Grown in well drained mineral soil and only water in sunshine betwin late april and end september.
Here are some of those I have had my hands in:

"We find it difficult to bring the available evidence together with plausible counter-factuals to argue that there is any country today in Sub-Saharan Africa which is more developed because it was colonized by Europeans. Quite the contrary."
That is Leander Heldring and James Robinson writing in a new paper on the negative impact of colonialism on Africa's economic prospects.
Interesting attempt at positive analysis of a difficult subject (esp. with regard to counter-factuals), although normative undertones drive most of the analytical narrative.
The negative legacies of colonialism – despotism, negative ethnicity, aid dependence, and general underdevelopment, etc – certainly do persist.
But for those unwilling to submit to the gods of path dependence, the question remains of how long incompetent African leaders will continue to blame outsiders for their own ineptitude. After half a century of independence, many Africans are wary of being the only ones left in the "bottom billion" once the East and South Asians climb up.
To paraphrase Achebe, the trouble with Africa is simply and squarely a failure of leadership. There is nothing basically wrong with the African character. There is nothing wrong with the African land or climate or water or air or anything else. Even external conquest and subsequent colonialism was not unique to Africa.
H/T Chris Blattman.


text: I have been breastfeeding since birth and thought everything was going fine until his 2 week apt last week when they informed me he still hasn't gained any weight. My son was born at 8 lbs, 13 oz and left the hospital at about 8 lbs, 3 oz. He currently weighs 8 lbs even and has since his one week follow up at Great Beginnings. He eats good-they say he is latching on great and he eats about every two hours except at night-it's about 3 hours or so. He is pooping-almost after every feeding even. It's mustardy, seedy, and pretty loose. He has plenty of pee diapers every day. My husband is active-duty so we must see the base pediatric clinic-but the person we saw was a P.A. and she wanted me to supplement with formula-she actually wanted me to go straight formula but I put up a fight. So she is saying I need to pump and give him between 16 and 24 oz a day, so if I am not pumping that much, then to supplement with formula the rest. I am doing that for the first time today and so far, we haven't given any formula. I am really having a hard time with this b/c I don't want him to get use to a bottle and formula and then not go back to the breast. Of course, I feel like failure as a mom, since I can't produce enough milk for him to gain adequately. They have me taking fenugreek and they have done all kinds of blood work to make sure nothing else is wrong and that all came back normal. Do you have any advice that might help? Is it possible he is just a slow gainer? He has really explosive diapers pretty quickly after he eats and someone mentioned maybe he's lactose intolerant and he can't tolerate my milk, so he is getting rid of it all so quickly he's not getting the nutrients he needs...is that possible?

Maryland Community Colleges Pledge Increase in Graduates
At a summit sponsored by the Maryland Association of Community Colleges (MACC), held Dec. 3, 2010, each of the state's 16 community college presidents pledged to increase their graduation numbers substantially. The summit, a follow-up to the White House Summit on Community Colleges, held Oct. 5, was attended by faculty, students and administrators. The issues discussed focused on ways to improve community college efficiency in helping their students complete their degrees or certificates. The summit also discussed the barriers to completion, such as the need to work, the demands of families, and other life issues and responsibilities that are part of being an adult. These factors hit community college students particularly hard, since most are adults. Maryland's goal was set by its governor, Martin O'Malley, at having 55 percent of the state's adult residents complete a two- or four-year college degree by 2025. The governor also committed Maryland to be a part of Complete College America, a consortium of almost half of the states in the U.S. that is committed to establishing state and campus goals for completion, developing plans for reaching both types of goals, and collecting data to be reported annually that is consistent and focused on progress. The Maryland goal for 2025 is 18,600 degrees, up from just over 11,000 awarded in 2010. Clay Whitlow, executive director of MACC called the goal, "…a stretch goal… ambitious but not unrealistic."
Bennett and Lopez Join OVAE Staff
Patricia Bennett and Noreen Lopez joined OVAE's Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL) in November. Bennett previously served as Maryland's state director of adult education for 10 years, and Lopez held a comparable position in Illinois for almost eight years. During their tenures as state directors both served on the executive committee of the National Adult Education Professional Development Consortium and National Council of State Directors of Adult Education. Bennett also served on the Executive Committee for the National Coalition for Literacy and as associate director of National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) programs. Bennett is working on OVAE's new national leadership activity on teacher effectiveness and on Learning to Achieve teacher training. Lopez also served as a senior program officer for technology for NIFL, served for five years as director of the PBS LiteracyLink project and served at the National Coalition for Literacy for four years. Lopez is assisting DAEL with oversight and re-engineering of the Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS). Both Bennett and Lopez joined OVAE's Applied Innovation and Improvement/Best Practices and Dissemination Team led by Chris Coro.
States Develop Career Pathway Systems for Low-skilled Adults and Dislocated Workers
OVAE and the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) co-hosted the Career Pathways Technical Assistance Institute Nov. 30–Dec. 2, 2010, in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the institute was to provide technical assistance to grantees in the development of career pathway systems for low-skilled adults and dislocated workers. Nine states and two Indian and Native American entities received grants to convene the necessary partners, including local employers as well as representatives from the workforce, education and human services arena, to build effective and comprehensive career pathway systems. The grantees are: Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Gila River Indian Community and Tucson Indian Center in Arizona.
OVAE and ETA have drafted an organizing framework, Six Key Elements of Career Pathways Systems and an assessment tool, Career Pathways Readiness Assessment Tool for the initiative, both of which will be disseminated across the workforce and education systems through the participating agencies in the near future.
Adult Education State Directors, OVAE Plan 2011National Meeting
OVAE held a day-long meeting on Nov. 30, to begin planning the National Meeting for State Directors of Adult Education slated for May 10–12, 2011. Participants worked with the evaluation results submitted by state personnel who attended the 2009 and 2010 national meetings. They also discussed emerging issues in the states around which to structure sessions. State directors and staff members who participated in the planning committee with OVAE personnel were Naomi Scales (Ala.), Amy Iutzi (Alaska), Reecie Stagnolia (Ky.), Anne Serino (Mass.), Dianne Duthie (Mich.), Kevin Smith (N.Y.), Jeff Gove (Ohio), Joanie Rethlake (Texas) and Randall Stamper (Va.). State directors who have ideas to propose about the meeting are encouraged to share them with one of the committee members or with their area coordinator. Details of the meeting will be posted on the OVAE home page as they become available.

Post Charlotte - Halfway through the Chase
The 2, 11 and 48 dominated this race, until fuel strategy ended Brad's chances for a win. Was it only 6 cars on the lead lap at the end? Am I the only one who is dissappointed that the cars now know so accurately how far they can go? The end of the race the broadcast team was repeating comments from crew chiefs telling them "you can make it to the finish line, but will end up running out of fuel on the back straightaway afterwards." Where's the mystery gone? But since teams do have that data available to them, how did Brad manage to screw up so badly and run out of fuel on the race track?
I thought Tony did a decent job out there, started 32(another bad qualifying job) but finished 13th. We saw him floating around in 7th for a while during the mid part of the race. Unfortunately they had that collision with the 2 early on during a restart, and that messed with the aerodynamic setup of the car. I don't know about the rest of you, but while watching the pit crew take hammers to the hood of the car to reshape it, I knew that he didn't have a chance for the win.
Gordon got what was coming to him for setting such a horrible example for athletes everywhere. "I would have staid quiet and raced." A speeding penalty helped put him in 18th position.
Regan Smith looked good early, but blew his engine. I hope we find out what happened and that it was mechanical rather than driver error. If he Over-revved his engine on pit road causing it to blow won't help him get a ride next year. Passing Kurt so smoothly during the early laps must have put a smile on his face though.
Carl Edwards sighting! Only with that paint job, I wish I hadn't seen it.
The 51 car found a driver after all, the Dinger drove around the track with a smile etched on the hood of his car. Welcome back to racing, now stay off the drugs.

PITTSBURGH, PA - For the last 15 years, Fr. Jack Fitzgerald has been the airport chaplain. His last day at Pittsburgh International Airport is July 1 when he will report Our Lady of Peace in Conway where he will be Pastor.
The Airport Authority hosted a farewell reception for Fr. Jack in the Airport Chapel at today, Friday, June 26, 2009. Airport Authority Executive Director Bradley D. Penrod thanked him for his years of service, presented a proclamation from Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato and presented him with a FlyPittsburgh.com model airplane. "It was a chance to say goodbye to a great airport friend and wish him Godspeed," Penrod said.
Farewell to Father Jack
Inside Pittsburgh International Airport, there is a chapel. And inside that chapel is a priest. For the past fifteen years, Father Jack Fitzgerald has been the chaplain at that chapel. "It is an oasis of quiet in a noisy environment," as he likes to call it.
Father Jack's reign as airport chaplain, however is coming to an end. On July 1, he reports to Our Lady of Peace in Conway where he will be Pastor.
"It has truly been an incredible experience," he said of his time here. "It has never felt like work. If you love what you are doing, you will never work a day in your life."
Ordained in 1974, Father Jack came to the airport in November 1994, when the airport realized the need for a chaplain. He was assigned by Bishop Donald Wuerl of the Pittsburgh Diocese. A chaplain for the Air National Guard for 23 years, Father Jack combined several techniques into his ministry here.
"I took the military model of being chaplain and brought it over here to do it civilian-wise. Military chaplains are also concerned for the morale of the people. You are encouraging people to do what they do to live out their vocation. You are actually helping them to achieve what God is calling them to do," he said.
Working at the airport has come with many responsibilities and excitement. Being a pilot for over 30 years, Father Jack got to bring together the two things he loves the most.
"For the past 15 years, I have had the opportunity to combine my vocation with my avocation – flying. I combine passion with profession. I am truly blessed to have been able to combine both and not to have to make a choice between my interest in aviation and my calling from God."
A good friend, Wally Bohl, reflected on Father Jack's time here.
"I met Father Jack when he first came here. What I really liked about him was that he was more than just a priest; he was a champion of aviation. He is the quintessential airport priest. He has a great devotion to God, but an enthusiasm for aviation that went with it. He is a genuine individual who really cares and spreads the good wealth of the industry. I am going to miss him," Bohl said.
When it comes time to leave, Father Jack will miss the thrill, anticipation and diversity that the airport has brought him over the years.
"I will miss the excitement and the incredible variety of people that make up the traveling public. You never know who will walk in that door or what their concerns will be. It is a place where people, both workers and travelers, come when they are stressed. People are not always traveling on vacation or business. Sometimes there are very important changes in their lives."
"The most rewarding aspect has been the trust in me by my diocese, professionals and passengers that has allowed me to be a part of their lives and a part of the airport's history."

Cher coming to BMO Harris Bradley Center June 6

This excerpt is from Learning ActionScript 3.0. Learning ActionScript 3.0 gives you a solid foundation in the Flash language and demonstrates how you can use it for practical, everyday projects. The book does more than give you a handful of sample scripts, defining how ActionScript and Flash work. It gives you a clear look into essential topics such as logic, event handling, displaying content, migrating legacy projects to ActionScript 3.0, classes, and much more. Written for those new to the language, this book doesn't rely exclusively on prior knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP). Instead, it helps you expand your skillset by first focusing on clear, concise examples in the timeline, evolving into OOP examples over time-allowing you to choose the programming approach with which you are most comfortable.
While you likely know what ActionScript is and are eager to begin working with the new version, a brief overview of its development will give you some insight into its use—particularly related to Flash Player and how it handles different versions of ActionScript. This brief introductory chapter will give you a quick look at where ActionScript 3.0 fits into your workflow, and will cover:
Although the new version of Flash's internal scripting language contains much that will be familiar to users of prior versions, it's probably best to think of ActionScript 3.0 as entirely new, for a few simple reasons. First, a few things are quite different, such as the event model and the way assets are displayed. Second, subtle changes run throughout the language and require some attention until they become second nature. These are usually small concerns, such as a slight change in the name of a property.
Most importantly, however, ActionScript 3.0 has been rewritten from the ground up and uses a different code base than prior versions of the language. This optimization provides relatively dramatic performance increases, but it means that ActionScript 3.0 code cannot be mixed with prior versions of the language in the same file.
The newness of this version, however, shouldn't intimidate you. It's true that the learning curve for ActionScript 3.0 is steeper than for prior versions, but that is usually a function of its robustness more than one of difficulty. Typically, there is an adjustment period during which users must occasionally adapt to a slightly new way of doing things.
To help you get over any possible trepidation, here's a look at some of the highlights of the new features of ActionScript 3.0. Keeping these benefits in mind may help make it easier to accept change, particularly when that change may initially seem tedious or overly complicated. Select new features include:
It's important to note that this book focuses primarily on developing ActionScript 3.0 applications using the Flash CS3 Professional integrated development environment (IDE). However, ActionScript 3.0 is the programming language for other Flash Platform applications, as well—notably Flex and AIR (the Adobe Integrated Runtime desktop delivery application).
AIR projects can also include HTML, JavaScript, and PDF, but ActionScript 3.0 is a large part of its appeal and the language most relevant to this discussion.
This means that the scripting skills you develop in Flash CS3 will be largely applicable in other areas of the Flash Platform, extending your reach as a programmer. There are, however, some important differences to understand when examining the big picture of cross-application scripting. We'll give you just a few brief examples here to consider.
To start with, Flash and Flex have different compilers so there is no guarantee that your project will compile correctly in both applications. You can use Flex Builder (the Flex compiler) to compile code-only ActionScript SWFs without the Flex framework, and load them into Flash CS3-generated projects. You can also load Flash CS3-compiled SWFs into a Flex project. However, as soon as you depart from core language needs, things start to get sticky.
For example, Flex does not have the resources of the Flash IDE to create visual assets (such as movie clips) and, by the same token, Flash does not support the Embed tag used by Flex to include such assets. This means that the same code cannot always be used seamlessly when such custom visuals are required. Similarly, the component architecture is different, including a different format and a component set that do not match.
This issue with visual assets has been a hotly debated issue for a while, and progress is being made to smooth the waters a bit. Adobe released a patch for Flex 2, and Flex 3 is in public testing at the time of this writing, improving the compatibility of components. However, it will probably be a while before moving code to and from these applications will be a comfortable process, if it ever happens. At a brisker pace, however, AIR development is becoming more of a crossover affair. Adobe is continuing to work on AIR authoring workflows that originate in Flash CS3.
The thing to keep in mind is that the ActionScript 3.0 language skills you develop will ease your move between applications in the Flash Platform, even if you must work with different authoring tools or compilers to end up with a finished product.
Much discussion has been made over the pros and cons of procedural versus object-oriented programming. To touch briefly on this, here is a little background concerning the evolution of ActionScript. ActionScript started as a sequential programming language, meaning that scripting was limited to a linear sequence of instructions telling Flash what to do in a step-by-step manner. This approach to scripting was not terribly flexible and did not promote reuse.
As the language evolved, it became a procedural programming language. Like sequential programming, procedural programming relied on a step-by-step set of instructions but introduced a more structured, modular approach to scripting. Procedures, otherwise known as functions (or, sometimes, subroutines), could be executed again and again as needed from different parts of a project, without copying and pasting copies of the code into the ongoing sequence of instructions. This modularity promoted reuse, and made the code easier to edit and more efficient.
Scripters in search of an even greater degree of modularity and reuse gravitated toward object-oriented programming. OOP languages create programs that are a collection of objects. Objects are individual instances of classes—collections of code that are self-contained and do not materially alter or disrupt each other. Dividing code into small capsules, appropriately known as encapsulation, is one of the hallmarks of an OOP language. Another important feature of OOP is inheritance, or the ability to derive classes from parent classes, passing on specific characteristics from the parent.
A classic example of OOP structure, and specifically inheritance, defines a set of transportation vehicles. You might start with a generic Vehicle class that includes traits common to all vehicles, such as the basic physics of movement. You might then create three subclasses: GroundVehicle, WaterVehicle, and AirVehicle. These classes would alter or introduce traits specific to ground, water, and air travel, respectively, but not yet be complete enough to represent an actual vehicle. Further derived classes might be Car and Motorcycle (descending from GroundVehicle), Boat, and Submarine (descending from WaterVehicle), and Plane and Helicopter (descending from AirVehicle). Depending on the complexity of your system, you can carry on this process, creating individual models with individual settings for fuel consumption, friction, and so on.
As you can probably imagine, this approach to development adds additional power, flexibility, and prospects for reuse. These benefits, among others, sometimes position object-oriented programming as the best approach to a problem. However, there is a tendency among some programmers to believe that OOP is the best solution to all problems or, effectively, the only solution. This is a faulty assumption.
OOP is often best for very large projects, or for working with a team of programmers, but it can often be overkill for small projects. Additionally, for the uninitiated, it can significantly increase the learning curve, and distract from key topical concepts during your studies. In short, OOP is not always the best tool for the job. Procedural programming still has its place, and Flash CS3 allows you to explore and employ both programming paradigms.
This book attempts to introduce material using both procedural and OOP where appropriate. Using object-oriented practices is a fine goal, and one that we will encourage in this volume. However, we will try first to focus on the material central to each chapter, highlighting syntax and explaining how and why each topic should be addressed in code.
In general terms, we will focus on procedural programming prior to Chapter 6; this chapter serves as a transition chapter between procedural and OOP practices. After Chapter 6, the beginning of each chapter will focus on the topics being discussed, without intrusion by the surrounding OOP class structures. When appropriate, however, each chapter will end with an applied OOP example.
This is our preferred approach to presenting material for all possible users—in both procedural and OOP formats. It is our hope that, regardless of your skill and experience, you will home in on the topics at hand, and then work in the timeline, or in classes, based on your comfort level.
If you decide you would like to start thinking in OOP terms right away, we will show you how to easily take a step in that direction. Flash CS3 introduced a new feature that simplifies associating a main class, or application entry point with your FLA. It is called the document class and it does all the work of instantiating the class for you. This means you don't need any code in the timeline at all, and can edit all examples in Flash or the external text editor or development environment of your choice.
If you don't plan to start using OOP until we roll it out in later chapters, feel free to skip this section as it will be repeated in . We will provide minimal explanation here just to get you going using the document class, and will explain this material in greater detail in later chapters throughout the book.
Let's start with a simulated chapter example that you might use in the timeline. It does nothing more than use the trace() method to place a word into the fOutput panel—an authoring-only panel that accepts text output from your file.
To create a document class, you're going to create a kind of wrapper that encloses the trace() method in the correct class syntax.
Create a new ActionScript file (rather than a new FLA document) and type the following document class shell:
1 package { 2 3 import flash.display.MovieClip; 4 5 public class Main extends MovieClip { 6 7 public function Main() { 8 9 } 10 11 } 12 }
The first line, along with the closing brace in line 12, defines the class's package. A package is a mandatory structure that ensures your class is known to the compiler. Next, you must import any classes that you need to use in your package.
A document class essentially serves as a shortcut for creating an instance of a movie clip or sprite (a new Flash object that is nothing more than a one-frame movie clip) and adding it to the display list so it can be displayed by Flash Player. (This is true even when there is nothing to display, as in this case. We will cover manipulating the display list in Chapter 4.)
All document classes must be derived from either the MovieClip or Sprite class. (Other custom classes that are not document classes do not need to be extended from MovieClip or Sprite if that is not appropriate.) This example uses MovieClip so you must import the MovieClip class, as seen in line 3.
Line 5, along with its closing brace on line 11, is the class definition. Its name is arbitrary but, when naming it, you should follow a few basic rules and conventions. The name should be one word that does not already exist in ActionScript, it should start with an alpha character (rather than a number or other character), and it is typically capitalized. The class must be public, meaning that other classes can access the constructor, and it must extend MovieClip or Sprite, as described previously.
Line 7, along with its closing brace on line 9, is the class constructor. This is the main function that automatically runs when creating an instance of this class. It, too, must be public and must have the same name as the class. Other functions (if any) can, and must, have unique names. All that remains is to add the lone method required in this case. The constructor must trace "Flash" to the Output panel, so add the following to line 8:
7 public function Main() { 8 trace("Flash"); 9 }
Once finished, you must save the file in the same directory as your FLA file for now. (Later on, you'll learn how to place your class files in other locations.) You must give the file the same name as the class, but add an .as extension. Therefore, this file should be named Main.as. Now create a new FLA file, choosing ActionScript 3.0 as its programming language version, and save it in the same directory as your previously created class file. The name of the FLA is unimportant.
Finally, open the Properties Inspector and add the name of your document class, not the name of the document itself, in the Document Class field. In this case, type Main instead of Main.as, as seen in this figure.
Now preview your file. Doing so will create an instance of the Main class (which extends MovieClip and, therefore, behaves like a movie clip) and add it to the display list. The class will trace "Flash" to the output panel, and your test application will be complete.
Hereafter, you can try any of our timeline code in a document class of your own. Initially, you probably won't know which classes to import or how to make any possible changes to variables or similar structures to conform to the class syntax. However, all the sample code will come with an accompanying class file for testing. You can use those files whenever you wish until you get used to the document class format.
I'd like to end this chapter with a small caveat. You cannot mix ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0 code with ActionScript 3.0 code in the same SWF. You are unlikely to do this if you're learning from scratch, but you may run into this situation if you attempt to update legacy projects by adding ActionScript 3.0 code.
If you ever have the need to run a discrete mixture of ActionScript 3.0 and a prior version of the language, such as showing a legacy file within a new demo interface shell, you can do so by loading a SWF. An ActionScript 3.0 file can load a SWF created in ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0, but it cannot access the older SWF's variables or functions. For all intents and purposes, the same is not true in reverse. An older SWF cannot load an ActionScript 3.0 SWF.
In Chapter 13, we will discuss how to communicate between these two discrete SWFs using a special process. For now, however, just remind yourself again that you cannot combine ActionScript 3.0 with older versions of the language in the same file.
Now that you know a little more about ActionScript 3.0 and the Flash Platform, it's time for a look at some of the fundamentals of the language. By reviewing version-independent concepts at the outset, we can focus on new syntax in subsequent chapters. If you have a lot of experience with ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0, you may wish to skim this material.
In the next chapter, we'll discuss:
This excerpt is from Learning ActionScript 3.0. Learning ActionScript 3.0 gives you a solid foundation in the Flash language and demonstrates how you can use it for practical, everyday projects. The book does more than give you a handful of sample scripts, defining how ActionScript and Flash work.

A woman on board a plane that blew a tire while taking off Thursday evening took a "selfie" moments after the incident.
A US Airways spokesman said witnesses recalled seeing the plane "bounce" before screeching to a halt.
Citing initial reports, US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher told CNN the commercial airliner's pilot decided to abort takeoff after the tire issue. Philadelphia International Airport tweeted, and photos indicate, that the plane's nose gear collapsed.
The woman who took the selfie, Hannah Udren, posted the photo on her Twitter account @han_horan.
In her tweet, she said, "So my plane just crashed ... I almost died."
WDSU anchor Scott Walker spoke with Udren, a future Tulane University student, Thursday night on the phone and asked her about the selfie seen around the world.
"I took a selfie because I knew my parents wouldn't believe me and I had to prove it to them," she said. "It was pretty scary. Everyone on the plane was screaming. People were yelling like, 'Evacuate! We see fire!' It was a pretty hectic moment but I was right near the exit. So I got out pretty quickly. So it wasn't too bad."
Udren said she is attending Tulane University in the fall and looking forward to moving to New Orleans.
Flight 1702 was scheduled to take off at 5:50 p.m. and arrive in Fort Lauderdale about three hours later, according to US Airways' website, though Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said the incident took place around 6:25 p.m.

Instant Appetizer: Goat Cheese Cake
Learn how to prepare a quick and simple Goat Cheese Cake appetizer in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine, plus get tips on easy ways to entertain. From our collection of Easy Entertaining videos.
Hi. I'm Tracey Seaman, the Test Kitchen Director at Everyday with Rachel Ray Magazine. Today we're doing an instant appetizer using goat cheese. If you've never tried goat cheese before, this is a really great way to try it. Now I'm gonna do 3 different flavors on top of the goat cheese. So I'm gonna cut the goat cheese into 6 equal pieces. You don't need any special tools for this. Just a knife and a cutting board and some of your favorite flavored things. I'm cutting the cheese into 3 pairs of rounds. You'll be amazed how pretty this looks when it's done and it takes seconds. We're gonna add a sprinkling of delicious extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil flavors the cheese and also helps the toppings stick. First, I'm gonna use Herbes de Provence. These are dried herb blend that you can get in your spice aisle. It contains thyme and lavender and sometimes fennel seeds. I'm also adding some crushed red pepper flakes for a little bit of heat and pretty color. The second pair is getting toasted, finely chopped pecans. You can use any kind of nut that you like, toasted walnuts, pistachios. You could use a combination of pistachio and chopped cranberries during the holiday. You could also try anchovy or caper or olives, any briny, very flavorful ingredient like that. Here I'm gonna use sundried tomato seasoned with herbs and packed in olive oil with garlic. And then they're all gonna get a nice sprinkling of pepper and salt. I like to use a kind of a coarse salt like Kosher salt because it keeps the salt flavor a little bit separate and adds added texture. I'm gonna serve these with toasted baguette slices that are lightly brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt before baking in a 375 oven for about 10 minutes. You can use your favorite cracker or crusty bread. Anything is great. These all look so beautiful and it took just seconds to prepare. I don't know which one I wanna try first. Thanks for watching.

Ice cream ingredient boosts fracking cost
- published_in
- Today's News
"It's not been a fun day for us," Halliburton Chief Financial Officer Mark McCollum said this earlier this week after announcing that profits for the oil field giant will drop twice as much as expected in North America.
A lack of rain in India, the primary provider of guar beans, combined with a failure to account for increased demand, have caused a shortage which is driving prices up to double where they once were.
As a result, Halliburton's profit for the second quarter dropped between 5 and 5.5 percent. The company initially expected declines of 3 percent.
The problem constitutes a key issue for Halliburton, which is probing interim solutions.
"I never thought I'd become a bean expert," McCollum said, "but I'm sort of becoming that bean expert."
McCollum said the company has been able to recoup little of the cost increases by passing them on to customers. Halliburton has a four-month supply of guar gum stockpiled, but anticipates the problem won't last long enough to justify using it. This year, the markets reacted to high guar prices and planted triple the amount of guar it did last year. By November, the crops will be harvested and be available by January.
"We do not perceive that it will be a 2013 issue at this point," McCollum said.

Hi my LO is almost 4 months now and has been sleeping through the night since about 8 weeks old. I am having trouble figuring out his nightime feeding pattern as it seems to be changing on me and I need some advice or tips from anyone who has been through this.
Our old routine was that I'd get home from work around 6:00 pm and nurse him anytime between 6:30 and 7 pm and then nurse him again around 9:30 or 10 then put him down for the night. But lately he has been getting so sleepy and even falls asleep around 8:30 ish. I have been waking him up to nurse at 9:00 ish and then put him back to bed where he sleeps until about 7 the next morning. Do I need to drop the last feeding? I tried that ONCE and I had to get up to nurse him at 5 am which isn't great now that I am back at work. it could have been coincidence, but I don't know if I want to risk it again. I am so worried that if I drop this last feeding 1.) my supply will go down and
2.) that he'll wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Help!
The last week or so, I have been feeding him regularly at the 6:30 or 7 feeding and then feeding him just 2 or sometimes even 1 1/2 hours later even if he isn't really hungry, but he is usually asleep and I have to wake him up. I hate to do that. Does anyone have any advice or been through something like this?
ps I also posted this on the sleep forum, but I thought I'd put it here too JIC.
