What is in this article?:
- Legislation addresses diesel fuel hauling restrictions
- Limits
- Two bills introduced to up amount of diesel fuel allowed to be hauled by agriculture sector employees without federal safety regulations kicking in.
- Would allow custom harvesters to move from 118 gallons to 1,000 gallons.
In recent weeks, two bills have been introduced aimed at increasing the amount of diesel fuel allowed to be hauled by agriculture sector employees – in some cases, from 118 gallons to 1,000 gallons -- without federal safety regulations kicking in. Long a thorn in the side of custom harvesters, the federal diesel fuel restrictions have been derided as overreaching and unnecessary.
The House legislation (H.R. 2429) "would help the agriculture industry operate more efficiently," said Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer, sponsor of the bill. "The bill is a common sense step that recognizes the needs of modern production agriculture."
Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts – along with cosponsors Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran, Nebraska Sen. Mike Johanns and Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson – has introduced S.1288, which would grant similar diesel-fuel hauling relief for agriculture-related businesses.
In late July, Delta Farm Press spoke with Tracy Zeorian, President of the U.S. Custom Harvesters Association. Zeorian, who operates a custom harvesting business with her husband, spoke on previous attempts to "fix" the regulations, the regulatory burden on harvesters, and the make-up of typical crews. Among her comments:
On what House H.R. 2429 and Senate S.1288 bills would do…
If passed, the legislation "will allow the producer, custom harvester and several other ag-related businesses to haul up to 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel in a tank without a hazmat endorsement on their Class A CDL.
"The Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations state a tank over 118 gallons is required to be 'placarded.' When it's placarded, the tank falls into the Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's requirement which states the person hauling the tank must have the hazmat endorsement on their Class A CDL. That means they've been fingerprinted, gone through background checks, an extensive process by the U.S. Department of Transportation to be okay to haul what they call a 'hazardous material.'
"Some people question whether that amount of diesel fuel is even a hazardous material.
"Regardless, once the tank is placarded, they must have the hazmat endorsement on their Class A CDL."
On the burdens put on custom harvesters…
"It's very difficult because most of the time the people hired to work on the custom harvest crews aren't employed more than two or three weeks prior to leaving for the summer. There's only a limited amount of work for them to do until harvest begins and the business owner doesn't want a large payroll before hearing south.
"The hazmat endorsement requires at least a 90-day waiting period. Plus, there is an expense for fingerprinting, background check and whatnot.
"That expense usually isn't an issue with the custom harvester simply because they need the hired help. The main issue is the 90-day waiting period. A large number of custom harvesters employ H2A foreign help – Americans are hard to find for the seasonal work.
"H2A employees aren't eligible to even receive the hazmat endorsement. So, if you have a crew of eight or 10 foreign employees, the American business owner would be the only one who could have the hazmat endorsement. He'd be the one who'd have to haul the fuel to the field every morning and would be the one hauling the tank down the road when driving from job to job.
"By having the endorsement removed from the Class A CDL, some detrimental situations custom harvesters face could be eliminated."

George West Police Chief Ray Garcia said three establishments were hit Sunday, Dec. 16.
Cobb's Pharmacy, Snider's Motor Co. and the George West Elementary School had their glass doors broken by a marble each. All have repaired the doors at this point.
Garcia said the damage was discovered by police at 10:48 p.m. that day.
"It seems they are using a slingshot," Garcia said. "We found one marble at each location."
Garcia said the school had inside and exterior video cameras.
"We have video of the suspected vehicle," he said.
The video shows a pickup hauling a trailer going by the school on Houston Street (all three establishments are on Houston Street).
Garcia said probably someone in the bed of the pickup shot the marble.
"It's got to be kids," he said.
The video can be seen online at mysoutex.com.
No glass can be seen broken before the pickup passes, but afterward, the glass can be seen.
Garcia said the school's door repairs added up to $420 damage.
If all the damage adds up to, or more than, $1,500, then the criminal mischief offense becomes a state felony charge, punishable by 180 days in jail up to two years and a fine not to exceed $10,000, as well as restitution.
The George West offenses were not the first for the so-called Marble Gang." Three Rivers, too, had three incidents.
On Nov. 23, at 9 a.m., a marble was found at the Goodie Box in the 200 block of Thornton Street where the business' glass door was shattered, according to Police Officer Alberto Carrion.
On the same day at 10:40 a.m., the Three Rivers High School also reported a shattered glass door. Again, a marble was found at the scene, according to Carrion.
Again, on the same day at noon, in the 600 block of Blair, a resident – Bobby Pena – reported his car's back window was shattered.
A search of the area resulted in the discovery of yet another marble.

Location and description of the neighborhood
This open space apartment is located in a street that directly connects to the imperial plaza of Rossio right in the historic center of Lisbon. You could not find more of a central place to stay… This area that is considered the heart of Lisbon, is close to all the important points of the city and has a huge offer of restaurants, cultural and historic places, stores and nightlife. This area is also surrounded by many typical neighborhoods such as Castelo, Alfama, Baixa e Chiado that are just a short walk away from the apartment. You will be able to visit fado houses, miradouros with breathtaking views, historic monuments and imperial plazas.
In this busy commercial neighborhood, you will find restaurants, esplanades, grocery stores, banks and ATMs at every corner. You will be at the right place to discover the most typical things the city had to offer. You will feel like a real local walking through these streets.
Besides the obvious visit to the Sao Jorge Castel, we have many more suggestions for you.
5 minutes away from the apartment, you can get to Terreiro do Paco, which is the area that was the most devastated by the earthquake of 1755.
If you like large avenues, Avenida da Liberdade that ends at Praca do Rossio, is the largest and most beautiful of the city with its several restaurants, movie theaters, and international stores.
Chiado, also 5 minutes away, is an area full of stores, traditional bakeries called pastelarias and bookstores that will make you see what is the real dynamic life of a European city. Anything you may want, can be found here…
Its privileged location will allow you to jump into the train that can take you to Cascais and the many wonderful beaches along the way. This way, you will be able to combine a visit to an incredible city with the pleasure swimming in the Portuguese Atlantic waters. This same train will also allow you to get to the Belem area, where you can't miss a visit to the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos , the Torre de Belem and Padrao dos Descobrimentos. Before you leave this area you will need to try a Pastel de Belem, which is a typical and well-known Portuguese pastry.
In addition to all the cultural and entertainment options, this neighborhood will also allow you to enjoy sports activities… Go and run along the river as you see the sunset over the water.
If what you are looking for is night live, you are definitely in the right place! Starting at 24 de Julho and finishing at Cais do Sodre, you will find the most diverse offers from bars, nightclubs, restaurants and art exhibitions. Don't miss the "Pink Street" and have a drink at Pensao do Amor. This new modern and trendy bar, used to be a well-known prostitution house where the sailors from the many boats docked in the river spent their nights in land. Today, the original rooms gave place to small shops, hairdressers, art installations, etc…
Welcome to Lisbon.
The emblematic light rail route 28 is just 2 minutes away. The subway station Rossio, located at the end of the street will be your best choice to quickly take you to any part of the city. If you prefer, you will also find taxies at any time of the day or night. Finally, we suggest that you take the boat and enjoy the magnificent view of Lisbon from across the river.

Great apartment! Really in the centre of the city and with plenty of space for our group of 6 friends. Be prepare for some noise (also at night) since it is located in a busy street. But overall we were very happy
Hemos estado durante 5 días, 5 amigos en este apartamento y la experiencia ha sido fantástica. El Apartamento tiene una decoración muy moderna, agradable y vitalista. Está situado en una de las mejores zonas y totalmente céntrico, con gran multitud de oferta de ocio, restaurantes y atracciones culturales. Una experiencia increíble. El trato a través correo/teléfono y en persona, ha sido magnifico, a la vez de rápido y profesional. Muchas gracias desde Barcelona.
hemos estado 4 amigas pasando 5 días. Solo podemos decir cosas buenas. Lo hemos pasado muy bien y todo ha estado perfecto. El sitio es inmejorable y el apartamento grande, moderno, limpio... Quizás solo puede que sea un poco frio. Nosotros tuvimos buen tiempo pero si hace frio sólo hay una calefacción.

This was an excellent apartment which made for a great holiday. The property is spacious and stylishly decorated, and the team were super helpful. The view from the balcony must be one of the best in Porto, and it's a great location overall. We'd thoroughly recommend it and hope to return!
Great location and spacious, well equipped flat.

text: Hello everyone, i would love any input anyone has for me. I had my baby on May 5th, i was trying to breastfeed in the hospital as much as i could, but had to supplement with formula because i just didn't have enough AND i had a light complication with my C section, and they had to feed him the first day nothing but formula. When i got home, i was panicked that i was not making enough milk so i started drinking water and some juice non stop. Well needless to say it worked, but now i am extremely full, it happened like in one afternoon. My nipples are extremely engorged and hard, my baby can't latch on , so i get no help from him. I try to pump but also, no real help there either, it hurts too much to pump with them being so full. ANY ideas on what i can do PLZ?? i am losing hope and i am geting disappointed because i can't breastfeed my child

I include myself in the Hall of Fame list, too.
I have ethered people on 100s of occasions. I went to war for Team Starbury and prevailed.
People underestimated me and saw me as the weaker poster of the big 4(ABCD, Metrocard, MSGKnickz33, and Kiyaman) so they tried to attack me and failed.
It was mainly because I don't go after posters the way Metrocard and MSG have done in the past, and Kiyaman has a good reputation and ignores the bulls#!tters. It was sad the way so many people attacked me because they were jealous of my rep power and posts.
Plus, I am not a biased poster. I use logic. Never have I repeated Walsh or D'Antoni's words verbatim like some of the posters in here have done in the past.
And my threads are consistently good.
Anyways, back to the thread. The Gold Mac 10 should return, in my opinion.

A different kind of school; Building community stone by stone
Children and adults alike can explore for themselves in an environment where they feel safe and nurtured, and where they are challenged to look at issues like social justice and how we can learn to live in more sustainable and healthy ways. From this learning center, Ballentine envisions the effects of well-being and self-awareness rippling out into the community at large.
"I believe that everything is interconnected, and that building bridges and connections among the different projects in the community can only make them stronger. It is important to me to do something for my community because I feel very identified with this place. I grew up here, and as my brother Sky has said, 'The place where you are from is the place where you can make the greatest difference.'"
The Stoneworks Learning Center is located at 1036 Rear Main St., Honesdale, PA 18431. To learn more about SLC, and to check out the current offerings, call 570/251-7704 or visit www.thestoneworks.org.

Herbs provide beauty in the garden and flavorful additions for our kitchen creations. Most herbs are easy-to-grow plants that, once planted, require little maintenance other than occasional picking to keep them growing and providing you with flavorful leaves and beautiful blooms.
Most herbs do best in full sun. Plant your herbs where they will receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sun each day. Herbs can be planted alongside vegetables in the vegetable garden, or you may choose to create an herb garden dedicated to herbs alone.
The reason we grow herbs is for their intense, aromatic fragrance and flavors. Many herbs are from parts of the world where soils are lean and infertile and summers are warm and often dry. Keep this in mind when growing herbs. They'll grow just fine in soil that is not perfectly prepared. So be sure not to overfeed or you will get a lot of lush growth at the expense of flavor.
While herbs do appreciate water during especially hot or dry weather, it's important not to overdo it. Overwatering herbs such as rosemary and thyme, which come from drier places in the world, can lead to root rot diseases that are difficult to treat. And just as with too much fertilizer, too much water may force your herbs to put on a lot of lush growth, but they won't be as flavorful.

What's in a name? Would feta by any other name taste as salty (or be worth the full price)?
Perhaps not, according to the European Union, which is using trade-partnership talks with the United States to press its case that cheese names such as feta, Parmesan and ricotta should be used exclusively by the Europeans who originated them.
Ohio producers, many of whom have made these cheeses for generations and often are immigrants from Europe, would have a big problem with losing the right to use the names they say define their cheeses.
"The deepest impact would be the inability for our companies to use those brand names and market them overseas, in the U.S. or locally," said Scott Higgins, CEO of the Ohio Dairy Producers Association. "We just can't stand to take that risk."
Ohio's dairy industry produces more than $1 billion in products each year, Higgins said.
As for cheese production, which is part of the dairy industry, Ohio ranked 10th in 2012, the latest year for which U.S. Agriculture Department data are available. That year, Ohio produced 198.9 million pounds of cheese.
For years, Ohio has been the top-ranked state for Swiss- cheese production, with 137.7 million pounds in 2012, which represented 43 percent of the nation's production that year, according to the USDA.
Brewster Dairy in Brewster, Ohio, is the largest U.S. maker of Swiss cheese, producing 85 million pounds each year at plants in Stark County and in Stockton, Ill., and Rupert, Idaho, according to the company's website.
"Swiss" cheese does not appear to be one of the names protected by the European Union through its "geographical indications and traditional specialties" scheme, which is similar to the U.S. practice of trademarking product names.
The European law is aimed at protecting the reputation of regional foods, helping farmers get premium prices for their authentic products and eliminating unfair competition from look-alikes of inferior quality.
In addition to cheese names, the European Union protects names for meat products, wines (including Champagne), spirits and "aromatized drinks," such as Sangria.
The EU is trying to enforce its food-name protections through bilateral trade agreements, such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership it wants to develop with the United States.
It is unclear when the two might take up the cheese-name issue or how they will resolve it, though "rules of origin" were on the agenda for the fourth round of trade negotiations concluded yesterday in Brussels.
Enforcing protections for common cheese names such as cheddar and ricotta would be a trade barrier, said Higgins, of the Ohio Dairy Producers Association.
"While I respect the desire of the EU to protect the names of (its) cheeses ... we're talking about a type of cheese" whose name is commonly used, said Angel King, co-owner of Blue Jacket Dairy near Bellefontaine in Logan County, which makes two cheeses on the protected list: gouda and feta.
If required to change the names of her dairy's cheese, King would choose names such as Gretna Grillin', the name for her dairy's halloumi-style cheese, which originated in Greece. Gretna was the name of a former hamlet down the road, King said.
"I would just delve into the history of our area and come up with some name that has a special meaning to Ohio and our history," King said. As an artisan cheese-maker, Blue Jacket has "the ability to be very creative in the use of our names," she said.
Sens. Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown, along with 50 of their Senate colleagues, recently sent a letter to the USDA and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative asking the agencies to fight the EU's efforts to prohibit American dairy producers from using dozens of common cheese names.
"America's dairy farmers and producers work hard to develop a product and brand that resonates with their customers," Portman said in a written statement. "If the EU succeeds in establishing trade guidelines that would restrict branding, it could hurt product sales and jobs here in Ohio."
At least 11 Ohio cheese-makers could be affected by the potential change, according to Portman's office.
Three years ago, Jean Mackenzie, owner of Mackenzie Creamery in Hiram, faced a similar situation with the U.S. licensee of the name "bucheron," a goat's milk cheese native to the Loire Valley in France. Rather than fight the licensee, Mackenzie changed the name of her product.
"We'll just call it Baby Buche and a Bucheron-style cheese," said Mackenzie, who is outgoing president of the year-old Ohio Cheese Guild.
That's the advice of Neville McNaughton, an artisan cheese-maker consultant with CheezSorce in St. Louis.
"Having fanciful names on our cheeses is part of the business proposal of a small cheese-maker," McNaughton said.
That fanciful name becomes a valuable brand.
"I'm a New Zealander, and we can't use the word 'feta,' " McNaughton said. "We embrace global values because it's about respect."
If the EU succeeds, an artisan cheese-maker might have to replace thousands of labels, Mackenzie said. But for large cheese-makers, rebranding their cheeses-could be expensive.
"The big guys hate it," McNaughton said about the European proposal. "And for the little guys, I don't think it matters."

If English is not your first language, try your best or ask for some advice/help from a friend who does speak English - you're playing an MMO; chances are you interact with someone who knows English well. * Use proper spelling. Do not use (for example) "u" for "you", "ur" for "you're", "r" for "are", "pls" for please. * Accurately describe the functions and behaviors of the project. This may only require a line or two, or it could encompass an entire page. Terms such as "simple" or "lightweight" are not descriptive, are overused, and as such should be avoided as superfluous buzzwords. ===Needs a Better Name A project's name should be distinctive. Using a generic phrase or a single common word for a project's name makes finding the project difficult for potential users and also makes the job of the project moderators extremely difficult, which can delay project approval for days or indefinitely. * Some examples of unfortunate project names, with improved versions in parenthesis, are: ** Items (ItemsTracker) ** Inventory (InventoryManager) ** Shadowbolt (ShadowboltEnhancer) ** Action Bars (Whizbang Bars) ===Libraries Libraries must have a documented API which clearly identifies how to use the library. Please see the [[projects/docmeta-file/ | .docmeta]] page for more information on how to use luadoc. If you need assistance, feel free to join IRC for help. Libraries should not be AddOns in disguise. AddOns which "fix" Blizzard's UI, for example, should not be made into a library - embedding such a thing in another AddOn only serves to spread the "fix", does not add any functionality to the embedding AddOn, or adds functionality which has nothing to do with the AddOn itself and may even adversely affect its users (for example: LibBetterBlizzOptions is embedded in several AddOns which have nothing to do with configuration. Many users do not want the Blizzard Options panel altered, but are forced into it because AddOn authors embed it.).

Gas at a glance
Diesel fuel-laced frack fluids pumped underground
A recent Congressional report by members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee revealing the use of diesel fuel in gas drilling hydraulic fracturing operations is renewing calls for mandatory full disclosure of chemicals used by companies drilling in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale. "We need to end this system of voluntary disclosure by companies and have a clear mandatory requirement that all chemical usage is disclosed to the public," stated Myron Arnowitt, PA State Director for Clean Water Action. A year-long probe led by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California has revealed that oil and gas companies have injected more than 32 million gallons of fluids containing diesel fuel underground without first getting government approval, according to the Associated Press.
Lawmakers said the use of diesel fuel by large companies appears to violate the Safe Drinking Water Act. The investigation found that 12 of 14 companies hired to perform hydraulic fracturing also used diesel alone or in a mixture from 2005 to 2009. Waxman and Reps. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said they want more information on some of the chemicals used in the drilling process, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene. A Halliburton spokeswoman said the Energy and Commerce report was inaccurate. "Halliburton does not believe that the company's hydraulic fracturing activities have resulted in a violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act or any other federal environmental law," said spokeswoman Teresa Wong. An EPA spokeswoman said the agency is still reviewing the information.
EPA submits Draft Hydraulic Fracturing Study Plan for review
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted its draft study plan on hydraulic fracturing for review to the agency's Science Advisory Board (SAB), a group of independent scientists. EPA scientists are undertaking a study of this practice to better understand any potential impacts it may have, including on groundwater. EPA announced its intention to conduct the study in March 2010. Since then, EPA has held a series of public meetings across the country and the agency has developed a sound draft plan for moving forward with the study. The scope of the proposed research includes the full lifespan of water in hydraulic fracturing, from acquisition of the water, through the mixing of chemicals and actual fracturing, to the post-fracturing stage, including the management of flowback and produced or used water and its ultimate treatment and disposal. The SAB plans to review the draft plan March 7-8, 2011.
Stakeholders and the public will have an opportunity to provide comments to the SAB during their review. The agency will revise the study plan in response to the SAB's comments and promptly begin the study. Initial research results and study findings are expected to be made public by the end of 2012, with the goal of an additional report following further research in 2014.

Geography Post on Pope Francis' Election as Pope
Updated map including Pope Francis
View Map of Non-European Popes in a larger map
Pope Benedict XVI's decision to resign has taken both the Catholic and non-Catholic worlds by immense shock. Some have begun to play the game of "who will be the next Pope?" This game usually ends in a surprise no one saw coming but this does not stop people from trying over and over again. Some have speculated , as they did in 2005 right after the death of Pope John Paul II's death, that there will be an African or Latin American Pope. Some even go as far to say there could be the "first black Pope in 1,500 years."
I decided to study and map out popes born outside of Europe. There were some surprises among the results.
View Map of Non-European Popes in a larger map
Of the 265 officially recognized Popes, 217 have been Italian while 17 were French and 13 were Greek (though this includes ethnic and cultural Greeks who were from Greek Italy and Greek Asia). So to solve problems like this I declared a non-European pope to be one who was born outside the modern understanding of what is Europe, regardless of ethnicity or culture.
Three Popes were born in Roman Africa, which today is part of Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. These African popes were Pope Victor I (189-199), Pope Miltiades (311 to 314), and Pope Gelasius I (492 to 496). These Popes are sometimes described as Black in today's press because of their African origin. However, the elite in these provinces were descendants of Italian Romans while the population in rural areas were Berbers, who are an olive hue. There is no comparably or historic evidence that the African popes were Black.
Two popes, both ethnically Greek, were born in modern day Turkey. Pope John V (685-686) was from Antioch and Pope John VI was from Ephesus (701-705). John V is sometimes considered "Syrian" due to Antioch's location in Byzantine Syria.
Four popes were born in "Syria", modern-day Syria and maybe Lebanon. These are Popes Anicetus (150 to 167), Sisinnius (708), Constantine (708-715), and Gregory III (731-741). Anicetus was born in modern day Homs, site of heavy fighting in the on-going civil war, while the other three were born in newly Muslim conquered Syria. This shows that Christian intellectual thought and leadership were not crushed right away by the new Muslim rulers as pointed out in The Lost History of Christianity: The Thousand-Year Golden Age of the Church in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia--and How It Died.
Two popes were born in modern day Israel, depending on who one asks. Saint Peter, the first Pope, was born in the village of Bethsaida along the Sea of Galilee while Pope Theodore I (642-649) was an ethnic Greek from Jerusalem. However, Bethsaida is east of the Jordan River in the Golan Heights region. This is Israel or Syria on depending one's perspective. Meanwhile, the historic part of Jerusalem where Pope Theodore I was from is mostly likely in the part of the city east of the 1949 cease fire line and therefore either Israel or the West Bank.
So of the eleven popes born outside Europe, at least two were of ethnically non-European origin: Peter (Jewish) and Constantine (Assyrian). Up to three more, the Africans, may have been Berber. So between 0.75% to 1.88% of all Popes were of non-European ethnicity.
Some of these Popes played major roles while pontiff. Pope Theodore I worked hard and proved Roman supremacy over the Emperor and Patriarch in Constantinople. Meanwhile Pope Victor I was the pope who changed the language of the Roman Church from Greek to Latin. Without his change traditionalist Catholics would be lamenting the loss of Greek in today's liturgies.
Soon the Vatican will announce there is a new Pope. No one yet knows who that person will be and where they will be from. However, now you have a better understanding of the history of non-European popes.

UW-L students host Catch-A-Cure ice fishing tournament
People participating in an ice fishing tournament are hoping to not only catch the largest fish, but also a cure.
The Catch-A-Cure ice fishing tournament is raised money for lung cancer research on Saturday.
It was organized by a group of UW-La Crosse students.
It cost $5 for kids and $10 for adults to take part in the competition on lake Onalaska.
Participants had until noon to try and pull in the biggest fish they could for the chance at a cash prize.
The students organizing the event said it's about more than just a day out on the lake.
"We're hoping to spread more education about lung cancer in general and let people know that it's not just from smoking, it's a wide variety of causes. We're just hoping to get the word out,"said event coordinator Kayla Szydel.
The students said they have been working on the event since September.
This is the fourth Catch-A-Cure tournament.

Wasn't there a problem with the muncie shifters binding up as well? They were bolted to the crossmember or the floor or something... the hurst was bolted to the trans and even if the trans moved under heavy torque the shifter geometry stayed the same where as the Muncie geometry changed and bound if the trans twisted... seems like the problem would be negligable with a new trans mount... however if the mount got sloppy... shifting could get a little hairy,

Whenever someone tells me that TV rots your brain, I like to look them straight in the eye and break into Wakko's 50 state capitals song from Animaniacs. I continue singing it without stopping (or blinking) until I get my point across, which is that before widespread Internet access, movies and television were how most of us got information about all sorts of different stuff ... even if we weren't always aware of it. But if you look closely at some of your favorite cinematic wastes of time, you'll be surprised at just how much you might have accidentally learned from them, seeing as ...
4The Simpsons Is Full of Math References
20th Century Fox Television
Disclaimer: The author of this article doesn't math, so you should brace yourself for any possible inaccuracies where real math is concerned. Here, let me get the ball rolling: Pi is exactly 3. OK, carry on.
If, like me, you're under 30 and so white that drinking milk is basically cannibalism to you, then there are two things you're probably really good at: sucking at math, and quoting The Simpsons. The weird thing is that the two should cancel each other out due to all the math jokes hidden in the show, like in "Bart the Genius," where the answer to a calculus problem turns out to be "RDRR," which is funny because it sounds like "hardy har har":
20th Century Fox Television
"Stop. Don't. Come back." -Me, to my sides.
Now, I'm not saying that watching that episode actually taught me calculus, but I am saying that my brain is an asshole capable of retaining only pop culture trivia and the memories of all the times I was beaten up after school. The actual stuff I learned in class, though? Mostly gone, but to this day, I remember that the buildup to the "RDRR" joke was about "determining the rate of change in a curve" expressed by y=r^3/3, and I can still replicate that whole equation from memory.
The other thing I can do is write a false-positive counter to Fermat's Last Theorem (which states that there's no solution to a^n + b^n = c^n, where n>2) thanks to this brief scene from "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace":
20th Century Fox Television
You know -- the one with the circumcision diagram at the bottom.
See that second equation? If you verify it on a regular calculator, it will all add up, seemingly solving one of the greatest math puzzles in history. Unfortunately, because mathematics was invented on Planet Bullshit in the Galaxy of This Is Bullshit, there's actually a miniscule/magical margin of error in Homer's proof, causing the left side to be 0.000000002 percent larger than the right one, followed by the Simpsons writers having a laugh at your expense. You would think that a bunch of math geniuses could find a less embarrassing way to teach you about number theory.
20th Century Fox Television
The what geniuses?
You heard me: Al Jean, the series' showrunner and executive producer, studied mathematics at Harvard University when he was just 16, while another writer, Jeff Westbrook, first earned a Ph.D. for his algorithm research before becoming a Simpsons writer. David X. Cohen had a similar career, co-authoring a landmark research paper with a winner of the Turing Award before moving to the show to write a) a computer program that calculated Homer's pseudo-solution of Fermat's problem and b) scenes where an obese yellow man strangles his son.
Interestingly, the show's staff also includes another Cohen (Joel H. Cohen), who has a Bachelor of Science degree, and who wrote the episode "Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play," where this piece of math porn comes from:
20th Century Fox Television
Weird ... math porn looks suspiciously like regular Internet porn.
If you know what those numbers mean, seeing them on the show is apparently like catching a Firefly reference on Castle. In mathematics, 8,128 is a "perfect number" because when you add up all of its divisors you get 8,128, while 8,208 is a "narcissistic number" because if you raise its four digits to the fourth power and add them up you get ... 8,208, and I don't care how little you know/care about math -- that's just freaking cool.
Obviously you can't get all of that information directly from the show, but like all great teachers, the best The Simpsons can do is point you in the right direction. But if you let them, maybe they'll inspire you to study mathematics and one day become a successful and respected mathemagician.
20th Century Fox Television
Did I mention that I know A LOT about The Simpsons?!
3Loads of Teen Movies Are Based on the Works of Shakespeare
Walt Disney
What would you do if you met a beautiful girl but then found out that she's not allowed to date until her older bitchy sister first gets a boyfriend? If your worldview has been irreversibly warped by movies and TV, you would probably try hiring someone to woo the bitchy sister, which is literally the only way that fiction has ever dealt with that sort of situation. Why? Because in the world of make-believe, you might actually find someone willing to go along with that plan who isn't a massive heroin addict. And also because every sitcom and stupid comedy that ever did that story was actually just ripping off Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, like with 10 Things I Hate About You.
Walt Disney
"Wanna know how I got this girl?"
10 TIHAY is the 1999 comedy about Robin hiring the Joker to seduce Jason Bourne's girlfriend so that he can get with Larisa Oleynik, who unfortunately hasn't appeared in enough movies to get comically confused with a fictional character. Now take that story, change a couple of names (Gordon-Levitt's Cameron to Luciento, Ledger's Patrick to Petruchio, Oleynik's Bianca to ... Bianca), and you've got yourself the basic plot outline for Shakespeare's Shrew, on which the teen comedy was based. Don't be surprised. Although the works of a 16th century playwright might seem less relevant to the lives of modern teens than osteoporosis awareness, a lot of what Shakespeare wrote dealt with teenagers and the stupid stuff they do ... like pretending to be a guy and getting into a love triangle with your crush and another girl.
Yup -- even that cliche comes to us courtesy of Shakespeare and his Twelfth Night, a play about a girl named Viola putting on male clothing and acting as an intermediary between Duke Orsino and Countess Olivia. There are shenanigans and misunderstandings, but in the end everything turns out OK, so you can bet that Hollywood got a bunch of teenagers to go shake some cocaine money out of that story as well. One of the results, the 2006 teen flick She's the Man, didn't even bother changing the characters' names, but it did change the setting to a high school soccer club:
Then, in 2001, Disney did its own teen version of Twelfth Night with Motocrossed, appropriately choosing a motocross background for a story about cross-dressing.
Teen comedies that rip off Twelfth Night probably go all the way back to 1985's Just One of the Guys, where the gimmicky setting was the crazy world of ... high school journalism. And yet that still makes it a more exciting adaptation than Get Over It, the 2001 teen comedy that boiled down A Midsummer Night's Dream to a story about a high school breakup. But I suppose that Get Over It does retain the original elements of a love triangle and a play within a play, so if you squint your eyes and imagine a person being turned into a donkey while watching it, you'll get the general idea of what Shakespeare was going for.
Miramax Films, Dimension Films
Man, Shakespeare was a hack.
So in conclusion: It's possible that your younger sister's horrible taste in movies has actually made her more knowledgeable about the works of the greatest English writer than you'll ever be. I recommend alcohol.

text: TSA Pre✔ ™ Begins at Pittsburgh International Airport Tuesday, October 16, 2012 PITTSBURGH – The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) today announced the start of TSA Pre✔ ™ operations at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT). Under TSA Pre✔ ™ U.S. citizens traveling domestically who are select American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and US Airways frequent travelers or members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Trusted Traveler programs are now eligible to participate and may receive expedited screening benefits. The TSA Pre✔ ™ lane at is located at the main terminal. TSA Pre✔ ™ is part of the agency's larger effort to implement risk-based security concepts that enhance security by focusing efforts on travelers considered higher risk and about whom the agency knows less. To date, more than 3 million passengers have experienced TSA Pre✔ ™. TSA Pre✔ ™ is now available in 28 airports for Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and US Airways frequent travelers. "TSA Pre✔ ™ enhances security by enabling TSA to make risk assessments on passengers who volunteer information about themselves prior to flying," said Joseph Terrell, TSA federal security director at Pittsburgh International Airport. "As a more intelligence-driven, risk-based approach to passenger screening, TSA Pre✔ ™ helps us move away from the one-size-fits-all model and allows us to optimize our resources at the checkpoint while improving the passenger experience." Eligible passengers include U.S. citizens flying on participating airlines as well as those who are members of CBP Trusted Traveler programs, including Global Entry, SENTRI and NEXUS. Individuals interested in applying for a CBP Trusted Traveler program should visit www.globalentry.gov. If TSA determines a passenger is eligible for expedited screening through the TSA Pre✔ ™ pre-screening process, information is imbedded in the barcode of the passenger's boarding pass. TSA reads the barcode at the designated checkpoint and the passenger may be referred to the TSA Pre✔ ™ lane where they will undergo expedited screening, which could include being able to leave their shoes, light outerwear and belt on, allowing them to keep their laptop in its case and their 3-1-1 compliant liquids/gels bag in a carry-on. TSA will always incorporate random and unpredictable security measures throughout the airport and no individual is guaranteed expedited screening. TSA's multi-layered approach to security also includes behavior detection officers, explosives-detection systems, canine teams, and federal air marshals, among other measures, both seen and unseen. For more information about TSA's risk-based security initiatives, visit www.tsa.gov.

No clue, except perhaps pressure from well intentioned grandmas or pediatricians who aren't up on the latest recommendations. Giving food won't help baby sleep through the night.
The AAP recommendation is breastmilk only until about 6 mo.

When will baby be ready for solids

I did it for a few days to help fill up the baby's hunger needs because my milk production had gotten so low. Formula/EBM wasn't an option because he refuses bottles and was too little to try out of a sippy cup. It really has no nutritional value- But he did enjoy eating it so it wasn't too bad during that difficult time.

Yankee Farm Credit reports profitMay 20,2013
Yankee Farm Credit reports profit
WILLISTON Yankee Farm Credit, an agricultural credit association serving farmers, farm-related businesses and rural homeowners in Vermont, New York and New Hampshire, reported an increase in first quarter earnings and net interest income increased over the prior year.
The 2012 patronage refund of $4.9 million (a record amount) was distributed to members during the quarter. Yankees overall level of capital remains strong.
First quarter net income was $2.3 million, an increase of $195,000 over 2012. The most significant factors were increases of $323,000 in net interest income and $97,000 in other income. The increases were offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $92,000 and an increase of $133,000 in other expenses.
Quarter-end loans held at March 31 were $375.5 million, up 11.3 percent from the prior year. The loan portfolio continues to be concentrated in the dairy industry, with 55 percent of the loans invested in dairy businesses. The second largest concentration is timber, with 13 percent of the loan volume at quarter-end.
Credit quality across Yankees loan portfolio remained strong during the quarter and well within the risk-bearing capacity of the association.
At the end of the quarter, 1.5 percent of loans were classified as nonperforming, unchanged from the end of 2012. There were no loan charge-offs, but recoveries of $7,000 in the quarter. Capital position remains strong.
The 2012 patronage refund to members in the amount of $4.9 million was paid 100 percent in cash on March 25.MORE IN This Just In

Hipstamatic = iLomos
I have a confession to make — I like blurry photos. I'm not talking about poorly focused images but the kinds of images that take on a dreamlike quality because of motion, lens flare or a variety of other factors. I think that's one of the reasons I like Lomography so much. Lomography, if you're unfamiliar with it, began with the 35mm Lomo LC-A camera which was manufactured in St. Petersburg, Russia during the Soviet era. Because of shortcomings in the manufacturing process, each Lomo camera that was produced had slight defects in the lens resulting in blurry, sometimes dreamlike images. Today, Lomography generally refers to photographs taken not only with the Lomo LC-A, but other "toy" cameras like the Diana and Holga.
I went digital several years ago and while I still shoot film occasionally, I don't own any of the cameras that fall under the Lomo umbrella. I've written before about creating Lomo like images digitally but those experiments have been post production, in other words I manipulate the photograph in Photoshop after I've taken it. Recently though, I've been experimenting with another more intuitive method for creating digital Lomos using my iPhone and an app called Hipstamatic. Available on Apple's App Store, Hipstamatic essential gives your iPhone the ability to mimic several of the toy cameras used for Lomography.
Hipstamatic lets you switch between several types of film, lenses and flashes. While the app is ready to use immediately after download, you can add to your fun by purchasing additional "Hipstapacks" which add additional lenses, films and flashes to your camera. The app itself was $1.99 and each Hipstapack is .99 cents, a bargain if you want to experiment with Lomo style photography without sinking money in to cameras and film processing. Once you've taken photos with the Hipstamatic app, you can upload them to Facebook, Flickr or email them. You can also order prints from the Hipstamart Print Lab which will ship them to your door.
Here are a couple of examples of what the app can do, these were both taken in very low light. The first shot was taken with a simulated infra-red film while the second shot of a couple of computer monitors was taken with the Bettie lens, Pistil film and the Berrypop flash. No flas is actually involved, the app adds the effects digitally after you snap the shot. I'm going to be shooting some more with this app over the weekend so I can do a better assessment of how it will fit into my toolbox. If you're interested, you can check out my Digital Lomography Photostream on Flickr.

"The Catch"
No, not the running-towards-the-exit-of-the-Polo-Grounds/over-the-head Willie Mays catch… but my Defensive Play Of The Game-earning catch from the first game of Day Four from Phillies Phantasy Camp.
My battery mate from that game, Dave "Steely Dave" Steel, was kind enough to scan and send to me the evidence of this "catch" from the fine folks at Northeast Photography.
Now where do I pick up my Gold Glove Mr. Selig?

text: Hi, I just posted this on extended breastfeeding before I saw this msg. board regarding weaning...so sorry for posting again but was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions.. I am trying to wean my 15 month old. He throws tantrums and screams, gets very upset if I refuse to nurse. He is still nursing during the night as well. He drinks from a cup and eats solids...but I think nurses for comfort. I am ready to be done! I've been pregnant/breastfeeding my youngest two for over 3 years since they are so close in age. I've also had some health issues that would require me to start on medication that I can not as long as I am nursing...so the sooner i can stop the better...but I always give in to him...I can't stand to see him upset. Also..is it normal to have not started my menstrual cycle yet? I've not started at all since giving birth and I did by 5 months w/ my other children even though I nursed them too (just not as long as this time around) Thanks for any suggestions. ela

Negotiators with the State of Hawaii and the Hawaii State Teachers Union are headed back to the bargaining table, with a little help.
Contract talks between the two sides had been stopped for months, but now both groups are looking forward to meeting again.
For 13 months, both sides disagreed on pay, benefits and even which contract to focus efforts. Now, there is finally something both the HSTA union and the governor can agree on.
"It is a third party federal mediator that will bring us together to resolve our differences," said Wil Okabe, the HSTA president.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie was pleased the union took him up on his offer to bring in federal help to get the two sides talking again. He released a statement Monday night which said,"This is a step forward, by both sides, to find a solution that will resolve our differences for the sake of our students and school teachers."
Public school teachers have been without a contract agreement since last year. When the contract ended, a state-imposed "last, best and final" offer went into effect. It cut pay and raised benefit costs for educators.
As the dispute dragged on, the clash over a contract kept many educators from completely focusing on their important task: teaching students.
"It has been a distraction. I got thousands of emails from teachers wanting a resolution. This will give us an opportunity to do that," said Okabe.
Even though the federal government is stepping in to help, the mediator won't decide on the final contract agreement. Instead, the mediator will keep the two sides talking, which has been a challenge in the past.
But, some feel, an outsider at the bargaining table may give negotiators from both sides a chance to see the same disagreement from a different perspective.
"It will give us a chance to understand the state's side and will give us a chance to express our side as well," said Okabe.
The renewed talks could start as early as next week.
Along with discussing the main sticking point, an initial contract that would run through next summer, the latest offer from the state may also be hashed out.
That offer was presented earlier this month, and would set pay rates and raises for teachers from 2013-2015.

Majors and Minors
Requirements for Major in Athletic Training
Albion College's Athletic Training Education Program has been accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). As graduates of a CAATE-accredited education program, our students can sit for the national Board of Certification examination.
Students must apply for admission to the athletic training major after enrolling at Albion College. All admission criteria, retention criteria, and required application forms may be obtained from the athletic training program director or by downloading them from the Athletic Training Education Program Web site at http://www.albion.edu/athletictraining. Transfer students must follow all of the admission procedures as outlined in this section. Credit for course work from other institutions will be handled on an individual basis.
Completed application packets are due the Monday after fall break for fall admission and the Monday after spring break for spring admission. The athletic training program can be completed in a minimum of five semesters although this minimum is not encouraged. Students may participate on one athletic team while completing the athletic training major, but those students may be expected to complete some program requirements during the summer, in an extra fall semester, or during their athletic season if appropriate progress is not attained.
- Students in the athletic training major must complete thirteen and three-quarter units of required and prerequisite course work including the following: Kinesiology 194, 211, 213, 233, 240, 244, 254, 290, 295, 310, 344, 353, 354, 369, 379, 390, 395, 401, 453, and 494.
- All courses for the major must be taken for a numerical grade.
- The following cognate is required: Psychology 101.
- Athletic training students must meet a 900-hour clinical requirement over the course of a minimum of five semesters. While students majoring in athletic training may play one sport, these individuals must be aware that attaining the 900-hour clinical requirement is made more difficult because of time spent playing their sport, and they may need to obtain clinical experience in the summer or attend Albion for an extra semester.
Requirements for Major in Exercise Science
- Ten and one-half units including: Kinesiology 207, 211, 213, 233, 240, 310, 368, 369, 379, 381 and 382.
- All courses for the major must be taken for a numerical grade, except those offered only on a credit/no credit basis.
Requirements for Minor in Exercise Science
- Five and one-half units, including: Kinesiology 211, 240, 368, 369, 379 and one of the following: 381 or 382.
- All courses for the minor must be taken for a numerical grade, except those offered only on a credit/no credit basis.
