August 12, 1999: The phrase "big fish eat little fish" may hold true when it comes to planets and stars. Perhaps as many as 100 million of the Sun-like stars in our galaxy harbor close-orbiting gas giant planets like Jupiter, or stillborn stars known as brown dwarfs, which are doomed to be gobbled up by their parent stars.
Astronomers did not directly observe the planets, because their parent stars had already swallowed them. But the researchers did find significant telltale evidence that some giant stars once possessed giant planets that were then swallowed up. The devouring stars release excessive amounts of infrared light, spin rapidly, and are polluted with the element lithium. The illustration depicts the cosmic cannibalism.See the rest:

March 22, 2012 —
Seeking the lyrics on line to the Three Dog Night classic, I was redirected to www.oldielyrics.com [2]. Oldie. If I weren't so happy to be out and about this past weekend, the reference to my age might have aggravated me. Attempting to abide by doctor's orders, I resolved to "take it easy" last Saturday, while celebrating in Jeffersonville, NY with thousands of St. Patrick's Day revelers.
With camera in hand and Dharma (the wonder dog) in tow, I snaked my way through the throngs, valiantly attempting to capture the thrill of the glorious weather, the convivial ambiance and the joyous families decked out in shamrocks and all things green as the kids shrieked with glee during the constant shower of goodies raining down upon them from the seemingly endless array of floats. It's no secret that I love a parade, and the Jeffersonville Chamber of Commerce (www.jeffersonvilleny.com [3]), aided and abetted by a zillion volunteers and contributors, did not disappoint.
Dancing to the music came easily as the Mountain Tones Community Band marched by sounding darn good, making way for the incredible bagpipers, who wowed the crowd, kilts swaying in the breeze. This "first annual" foray for the town was (IMHO) a huge success and bound to become a holiday classic. I will surely be in attendance—same time, next year.
Making a mental note to mark my calendar for the upcoming Trout Parade (www.troutparade.com [4]) in Livingston Manor, NY and my personal favorite, the Tractor Parade in Callicoon, NY (www.visitcallicoon.com [5]), slated for June, I snapped a few hundred photos and made a pit stop at (where else?) the Dancing Cat Saloon (www.dancingcatsaloon.com [6]) to see what the Gays of Sullivan County (dot com) were up to. After an hour or two of being ignored while Dharma basked in the glow of admiration (having been dubbed the "official dog of the Dancing Cat" by proprietor extraordinaire Stacy Cohen) I snorted in derision and dropped her official tush off at home.
Heeding the advice of everyone within earshot, I soaked up some rays (yay, spring!) and looked at directions for the Lumberland Town Hall, which was hosting the Ithaca College Choir on Sunday, as the singers made Glen Spey, NY the fourth stop in their 2012 tour. Doing some homework before the concert, I discovered that the choir has performed major concerts at some pretty impressive venues over the years, including New York's' St. Patrick's Cathedral, Alice Tully Hall, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Carnegie Hall.
The choir's web site (www.Ithaca.edu/music [7]) also informed me that "In addition to their a capella tradition, the choir has performed with the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, the Ithaca College Symphony Orchestra, Chamber orchestra, and wind ensemble, as well as other professional ensembles." Suitably impressed, I took my seat with the rest of the sold-out crowd, many of whom were regulars for the Town of Lumberland's (www.towno [8]
flumberland.org) popular Cultural Series, founded in 1985, which "promotes a variety of fine programs including concerts of a professional nature that appeal to the residents of the Delaware Valley, the Tri-States and the local communities."
Having attended college in Binghamton and grown up in the Finger Lakes, I was familiar with the Ithaca College Choir and aware of their stellar reputation. I was not, however, prepared to be struck dumb by the incredible performance that played out that afternoon, nor expecting the overwhelming wave of emotion that permeated the hall as the performers made a personal connection with each member of the audience.
Conductor Lawrence Doebler was equally emotional as he explained what was about to transpire: "We want you, the audience, to be involved in the text. You may not want to consult your program during the performance, since the choir will be looking at you... and we encourage you to look back."
Unsure as to what he meant, I quickly glanced at the notes for the choirs' 34th annual tour, aptly titled "Get on Board," as the 50 or so members entered (to pre-show thunderous applause) in their formal gowns and tuxedoes. Their gorgeous-to-a-fault faces were shining as the singers took their places, angled toward the crowd to allow maximum eye contact and a hush fell over the hall as their voices filled the space.
Immediately, it became clear that this was to be no ordinary concert. Doeblers' words echoed in my mind as I scanned the group and the audience simultaneously. True to the conductors' word, the kids were looking directly at us, holding their dramatic gaze before moving on, their voices swelling to crescendo before dropping to melodious whispers as they performed an eclectic program, which included Sally Lamb McCunes' "Crossing," Vincent Persichettis' "Kyrie," Frank Martins' "Gloria" alongside traditional African-American spirituals.
Amazing vocal control and impeccable arrangements were enhanced by stunning solo turns from Alto Adiza Jibril, bass Stephen Wilkins, first soprano Sarah Jenkins and incandescent star-in-the-making soprano Ana Strachan, whose name will be lighting up opera marquees around the world, mark my words. There are not enough superlatives to make my point. Suffice it to say that the goose bumps remained throughout my ride home and I'm already making plans for their exciting appearance at Lincoln Center next year, while searching the internet for recordings that must surely exist.
While unable to sing along (unless completely alone!), I join the legions of fans of the Ithaca College Choir as I celebrate, celebrate... and dance to the music!

The Junctionview Pecha Kucha is always my favorite installment of this gathering of do-gooders. Exchanging ideas — and PBRs — outside in front of one of Columbus' coolest buildings is a nice reminder of why I love living in this town.
Tonight's event, which, for the uninitiated, features presenters speaking about 20 pre-selected images for 20 seconds each, includes presentations from artists, foodies and social entrepreneurs. Among them: Matthew Barnes and Jacob Tyler of CivitasNow, Erin Corrigan of Independents' Day (and a Columbus Alive Person to Watch!) and Amy Spears of Ohio Roller Girls.
Bring your own blanket or chair, an open mind, $2 to get in and any additional cash you wish to spend on food trucks like Blu Olive, Green Meanie and OH! Burgers or on pieces from a pop-up art show featuring work by Catherine Bell Smith and Helma Groot.
UPDATE: Due to the threat of storms, this event has been rescheduled for 7:30-10 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16, at Junctionview.

Thanks for that - but my contention rests on the connotations and not the denotations. The reporter's use of the term "purest faith" certainly adds punch to the "belief not based on evidence" definition - such terms are used when speaking of religion and not economics. While it may be argued, perhaps successfully ;-), that money is the US' religion, I don't think that was the context in which she was writing.
Certainly, the "faith of a mustard seed needed to move a mountain" is a far less tangible thing than the confidence in a very large earth-mover to accomplish the same thing. (sidebar - ever see one of those monsters?? They're friggin huge, and to call them "bulldozers" is like calling the Grand Canyon a "big valley".)
You are only wretched and unworthy if you choose to be.

I'm not sure how much this will help in this little discussion, but I read an interesting debate a few days ago on the existence of God (http://members.truepath.com/CICweb/debate_Russell_index.html) and the negative defined 8 ways that we decide things. He said in order of importance they were logic, reason, confidence, trust, chance, obedience, hope and faith. He later went on to say that if you want to cross a 3-lane highway during rush hour you could use some of these methods:
(1) Reason. Look before crossing, believe the evidence of your eyes, and don't go until you see a break in the traffic (or until congestion brings it to a complete standstill).
(2) Trust. Accept my personal testimony that it will be safe to cross between 4:56:09 and 4:56:21 PM and go then.
(3) Faith. Eliminate all sensory input (too distracting for the truly faithful). Instead, plug your ears with wax, close your eyes and apply a blindfold, and just step out smartly at some random time, having faith that God will enable you to cross unscathed.
This probably has nothing to do with this discussion, but it does show that there's quite a difference between confidence and faith.

As someone whose existence is wrapped up in his complete lack of 'faith' as an adherence to a creed, but rather a 'faith' in the perfectability of my fellow poissons, I applaud Max's humanity. I like Jazz's statement of that argument - but ultimately I think it has the meretricous appeal of much reductio ad absurdum argument.
However, it does, I agree, tend to illuminate a difference in the ways we tend to think about these different kinds of confidence or belief or hope or....

This example is very pertinent, and clearly demonstrates the difference between faith and confidence.

Even if you've never, say, pulled a gun on somebody who cut you off in traffic, you've probably imagined yourself doing it. It's just that most of us have a mental safeguard that suppresses our urge to slap the guy working the Genius Bar at the Apple Store, converting our crazy revenge fantasy into a mild look of disapproval.
Not everyone is capable of such restraint.
6A Man Throws Himself in Front of His Wife's Car (to Stop Her from Voting)
We don't know if you've heard, but America is in the middle of a series of elections that will determine whether or not the country descends into an age of unspeakable darkness. If you didn't realize how dire the situation was, check your Facebook wall sometime -- you'll see that these disputes over complex policies that no one really understands can bitterly divide even tight-knit families. That was the case during the 2012 Wisconsin recall election of its governor, when a man named Jeffrey Radle supported Republican Scott Walker, while his wife, Amanda, intended to vote for Democrat Tom Barrett.
Clearly this will not stand, we guess.
When Jeffrey learned of his wife's inclination, he became determined to prevent her from reaching that polling booth, or die trying.
The Overreaction:
As Amanda pulled out of the driveway to vote, Jeffrey made his last stand by leaping in front of her car. Not really anticipating her husband risking fatal vehicular injury on the off chance his wife was the deciding vote in a Midwestern governorship, she ran him down and, probably wisely, drove to the police station to report it rather than help him up while being berated for her lousy liberal driving.
"Damn it, a good Republican wife would have reversed to make sure she had killed me."
Jeffrey was taken to the hospital for the back and neck injuries he endured while saving America from a socialist apocalypse. Jeffrey's brother, Mike, knew who was really to blame -- after the media asked his opinion for some reason, he replied that "These crazy liberal nuts are always pulling this crap." The "crap" being "Not stopping fast enough when a Republican flings his squishy body in front of your Dodge Durango to stop you from voting."
Scott Walker wound up winning anyway, but the couple have yet to solve things and are now in the middle of a divorce. This is why you always ask your partner's party affiliation on the first date, kids.
"Oh, I like Ron Pau-"
"Check, please."
5Woman Sues a Little League Player for Half a Million Dollars
Eleven-year-old Matthew Migliaccio was warming up the pitcher before a friendly game of Little League baseball when, apparently underestimating his own strength, he lobbed a ball that flew straight over the pitcher's head and hit Elizabeth Lloyd, who was sitting nearby, in the face.
Migliaccio ran over quickly to see if she was OK, at which point she allegedly shrugged it off and told the kid that these things happen. If you know that balls are going to be tossed around, you should be prepared to take one on the chin every now and then.
This also applies to those of you working in porn.
The Overreaction:
Apparently, Lloyd changed her mind, because fairly soon after the ordeal, Migliaccio began receiving threatening letters from her on a regular basis. But perhaps she was just blowing off steam the way that most of us like to do, by mercilessly harassing an 11-year-old. But the situation only escalated -- two years later, the woman went ahead and sued Migliaccio for a mind-boggling $500,000. In her suit are the allegations that his throw was "intentional and reckless" and that Migliaccio "assaulted and battered" her. Apparently, it wasn't so much a bad throw as a really, really good one.
Migliaccio's lawyer has replied to the claims sarcastically: "What are we gonna do, take his bike? He's 11." But the fiasco doesn't end with Elizabeth Lloyd's lawsuit -- on top of that, her husband is also suing Migliaccio for "the loss of services, society and consortium of his wife," which is to say that the middle schooler hit her so hard with a baseball that they couldn't have sex for two years. Holy crap, can even Roger Clemens throw libido-erasing fastballs? And this kid is just 11! Hey Yankees, sign him to a deal already!
"Coming in for relief, Matthew 'Vagikil' Migliacciooooooo!"

Because we say so!'December 14,2013
Sometimes parents resort to such declarations as, Because we say so! We may lack the logic, the ability to persuade or the patience to handle things optimally, but we always have our authority to fall back on. It would seem that the Board of Education is determined to pull that same line on the heavily burdened taxpayers in Washington West and we taxpayers are none too happy about it.
Clearly, the Legislature, the Agency of Education and the State Board of Education have decided consolidation will stem the tide of rising education costs in Vermont. Through Act 156 and in the stated goals of the SBE, this means has become the goal in itself. Now Washington West is about to pay a steep price for their agenda taking precedent over due consideration and the rational pursuit of efficiencies as part of an unprecedented forced consolidation. This action is coming to pass through a boundary change designed by the AOE and pending approval by the SBE next week, despite unanimous opposition by Washington West elected officials and voters having had zero chance to weigh in on the consolidation.
The planned dissolution of Windsor Northwest Supervisory Union will shift 100 percent of the administrative burden from two Windsor Union schools to Washington West Supervisory Union, while fewer than 5 percent of their students get educated in our district. We are certain our costs will go up far in excess of the AOE estimates, and that our taxpayers and our school administrators will be left to foot the bill and feel the pain.
We cant say if the ill-fated supervisory union should fold into another or not, but what we can say is that it shouldnt be done such that costs are shifted to our taxpayers and the work to our employees, against our wishes, while the vast majority of the students involved, 65 out of 68, are educated in 15 schools outside our district, as far off as Killington and Middlebury. Where is the sense or efficiency in that? Still, the SBE intends to move forward.
Of course, it is a problem that consolidation has had very little effect on spending thus far. This lack of impact is perfectly logical given that the entire process is divisive, distracting from the work of education, resource-intensive and one-off in nature, but it is problematic. The deals that have been brokered are embarrassingly few, they progress at a snails pace and there are too few in the pipeline. Certainly the whole effort doesnt put a dent in the estimated $50 million in new education spending this year. When we face these facts, we see that the state needs to support systemic change across all schools, informing education delivery and funding choices, sharpening our focus and driving efficiency through accountability where it is absent and incentives where it exists. The AOE and SBE, by contrast, conclude consolidation should be forced.
We sit and wonder, where is the efficiency gain sending staff to oversee student plans in 15 far flung schools that have support and administrative resources of their own? How does this consolidation advance our vision for education or serve our communities? Where is the accountability for decisions and cost-shifting like this? The insane tax burden on our communities, which is amplified with every dollar per pupil we spend, will certainly increase if the SBE votes in favor of the AOE plan in the name of cost savings. Whose savings, we ask? Not ours and not those of the towns whose supervisory union they aim to close. We have carefully reviewed the numbers. Savings wont just happen because we dream them up, or Because we say so!
It is absolutely critical for the SBE not to race to the finish line to achieve the objective of consolidation and in the process cram down communities with new costs and far flung responsibility they dont want and they cant afford. It is time for the AOE to go back to the drawing board and work with the Legislature to heighten local accountability for performance across all communities and put in place the right supports and incentives to drive constructive results. The ends dont always justify the means, but the means do need to be justified. Losing sight of this will not help curb our spending problem.

A Madison teenager has been found guilty of killing a man during a gang war in 2011.
A Dane County jury delivered the verdict for, 19-year-old Demitrius Matticx, who was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of first-degree reckless endangerment in a parking lot shooting that killed 20-year-old Jonathan Wilson. Matticx faces a mandatory life sentence. A judge will decide whether the teen will be eligible for supervised release.
The State Journal reported prosecutors say Matticx brought a loaded shotgun to a gang meeting before the shooting and told others afterward that he had shot and possibly killed someone.

In order to discuss and promote enterprise solutions to poverty among present and future Catholic leaders in the developing world and transitioning economies, the Acton Institute is holding a seven-part international conference series – Poverty, Entrepreneurship, and Integral Development.
Addressing the persistence of poverty has always been a perennial concern of the Catholic Church. In his recent social encyclical, Caritas in Veritate, Benedict XVI called for more efforts to address the scandal of poverty in developing countries. However, many Christians throughout the world are confused by the various proposed plans and are unsure of the most effective approach to poverty reduction.
Bringing attention to the value of free enterprise and market-orientated economies – rooted in a proper understanding of the person and a vision of integral human development– in reducing material poverty, this work forms part of Acton's international outreach to Catholic leadership throughout the world.

Justin Timberlake's Music Video 'Tunnel Vision' Banned From YouTube
Justin Timberlake's latest music video didn't last long on YouTube.
The streaming video site took down Timberlake's "Tunnel Vision" soon after it was uploaded, citing the website's stance against nudity.
JT's team was aware of the video's content, tweeting via his official page, "Check out the new video for Tunnel Vision and be ready...it's explicit."
The seven-minute video, which can be found easily enough if you really want to watch it, features Justin Timberlake and producer Timbaland in a nondescript room. Shots are cut to nude women in a similar room, smoke and hands demurely covering their nudity. It appears the video will just be risqué, but about one minute into the video the women stop covering themselves as they writhe about on the ground.
Tunnel Vision is the third single from "The 20/20 Experience," but JT has plenty of music on deck - "20/20 Experience Pt.2" is set to release on September 30.

And the intrepid quarterback who helped the Bobcats win a state championship in his sophomore year will be representing 2A football in the upcoming summer issue.
Refugio Head Coach and Athletic Director Jason Herring said the magazine usually picks most valuable players in every classification to be the cover boys.
"We're lucky to have Travis," Herring said.
"If all goes well (this coming season), he will break two records," Herring added.
Quintanilla already has the Texas record for single game passing. He threw 10 touchdown passes in one game to set the record.
One record he could break is held by Garrett Gilbert, who has the mark for the all-time passing yardage: 12,534 yards.
Quintanilla has amassed 8,690 yards and needs 3,844 yards to match the record. He racked up 4,005 yards last season and 3,939 yards in the state championship year.
Gilbert played for Lake Travis during 2006-08 to set the record. He went on to the University of Texas for a couple of years before signing up as the starting quarterback for the Southern Methodist University Mustangs.
The other record Quintanilla could break is held by Graham Harrell of Ennis. It is the all-time career passing for touchdowns: 167 passes.
Quintanilla has totaled 118 passes since his freshman year. He'll need to throw 49 passes to match the record.
Harrell attended Texas Tech for four years and is currently the quarterback for the NFL's Green Bay Packers.
Herring said Quintanilla has a good chance to break those records.
Quintanilla said his focus will be to win state again although breaking the records would be great.
"I feel amazed," Quintanilla said about being selected to be the cover boy.
He will play as a senior and quarterback to lead the Bobcats on the way to another state championship this year, he said.
Not sure about where he will attend college after high school, he said he was focusing on his studies in school.
When he was a freshman, he admitted being anxious.
"I was kind of nervous. I was a younger quarterback over seniors," he said.
Quintanilla said he thinks he has improved through the years and knows he has grown stronger.
He recounted the disappointment last year when the team lost. The loss was his first.
"Tears running down from eyes – it was tough to see," he said.
Quintanilla's first love is baseball, but he said he'd play either football or baseball in college or in the pros.
He can throw a 90 mph fast ball. And that may add to his accuracy as a passer.
"I believe it did (help) – the pitching," he said.
Quintanilla predicted more play action this year. He said last year he had plenty of time to connect to a receiver, but those who provided the blocking graduated and are gone.
"I'm hoping in the end, we'll be back in Dallas's stadium," he said.
Quintanilla credited his cousin Coach Anthony Quintanilla for helping him through the years.
"He's helped me out a lot. He's my hero," he said.
And Quintanilla wears his cousin's number, No. 34 – in baseball, basketball and football.
The Dave Campbell Texas Football magazine is the Southwest's leading football source since 1960.

Packing list for Kyrgyzstan

For information see Welcomebooks
This list has been compiled by Volunteers serving in the Kyrgyz Republic and is based on their experience. Use it as an informal guide in making your own list, bearing in mind that each Volunteer's experience is individual. There is no perfect list! You obviously cannot bring everything we mention, so consider those items that make the most sense to you personally and professionally. You can always have things sent to you later. As you decide what to bring, keep in mind that you have a 100-pound weight limit on baggage. The most important things to bring are yourself, a sense of humor, and a sense of adventure!
Dress is very important in the Kyrgyz Republic. The popular image of a Peace Corps Volunteer in sandals and a T-shirt with a university logo is not appropriate in this country (nor is military-style clothing or accessories). Fair or not, people are judged by the way they dress in the Kyrgyz Republic, more so than in the United States. Your colleagues will dress as professionals and for you to do otherwise will be considered disrespectful. If you come to work inappropriately dressed, your colleagues, students, and others in the community will probably not say anything to you directly but may talk unfavorably about you to others. Following the lead of your co-workers will help you gain acceptance and respect in your community. This does not mean that you need to spend a lot of money on new clothing. Rather, be selective in what you bring, and consider buying some of your professional clothing in Bishkek. The quality and style may not be equal to that found in American brands, but they are the same clothes your local colleagues will be wearing.
Luggage should be lightweight, durable, lockable, and easy to carry. Duffel bags and backpacks without frames are best because you will be hauling your luggage around on foot— there are no redcaps or luggage carts in this part of the world.
General Clothing
- Warm winter jacket (with down or Hollofil)
- Lightweight jacket
- Mix-or-match clothes for layering, such as solid-color turtlenecks
- Cold weather gloves and hat
- Long underwear—silk is lightweight, easy to clean, and warm
- T-shirts (without wording or pictures about controversial issues such as politics, drugs, and sex)
- One or two pairs of jeans
- Sports and fitness clothing, such as jogging pants (shorts are inappropriate in most places but can be worn in a gym or when running in a stadium)
- Hat or baseball cap for protection from the sun
- Underwear and socks for two years (locally available products tend to be of poor quality)
- Bandannas or handkerchiefs
- stocking cap/ski cap
- wool socks (at least six pairs)
Note: Avoid bringing white or light-colored clothing, as dust
and mud are ubiquitous. Additionally, the largest size of
clothing available typically is Large. Extra-Large or larger is not to be found here
For Men
- Sport jacket or suit
- Several pairs of nice slacks
- Several shirts with collars
- A few nice sweaters
- Ties
For Women
- Several skirts or dresses with hems below the knee, for summer and winter
- Several nice blouses and shirts (short-sleeved tops are fine if modest)
- A couple of pairs of nice slacks (which can be worn as professional clothing in some places)
- A shorter skirt or dress for evenings out in Bishkek
- Nylons or tights (thicker ones are great for cold weather) Shoes
- Dress shoes—for men, loafers are practical because they can be slipped off easily when entering a home; for women, comfortable, low-heeled pumps are recommended; Volunteers who will be on their feet a lot might consider black sneakers that look like shoes
- Sneakers
- Sandals and/or flip-flops (for both dress and use as shower shoes)
- Hiking boots or warm boots (either/or because they are heavy)
- One or two pairs of warm, waterproof winter boots, which both men and women often wear to work in the winter (great boots in smaller sizes are available locally for around $20)
- Extra shoelaces
Note: Shoes smaller than size 10 (men) or size 9 (women) are available locally, but larger shoes are not.
Personal Hygiene and Toiletry Items
- Enough deodorant, soap, and other toiletries to last you through pre-service training (many of the brands available in Bishkek will be familiar to you, but if you require specific brands, you may want to bring more); feminine hygiene supplies are available in local markets
- Soap carrier
- Makeup
- Fragrant powders, body lotions, or perfume (for when showers are scarce)
- Contact lens solutions, which the Peace Corps does not provide (if you wear contact lenses)
- Lip balm—although this is an item in the medical kit, you might want to bring your own brand
- A three-month supply of any medications you take, to last you until the Peace Corps can order refills for you Two pairs of eyeglasses, if you wear them (replacements can take a long time to arrive from the United States); consider bringing a repair kit
- Hand sanitizer—a large bottle and a smaller one to refill
- Antibacterial gel or baby wipes
- Spot remover or Woolite (for clothes that need special care)
- Fabric refreshener or odor remover (e.g., Febreeze)
- Favorite vitamins or nutrition supplements
- Tweezers, items for nail care, pumice stone, callus removers, etc.
You can buy most kitchen supplies in-country, but there are a few items that Volunteers recommend bringing:
- Lots of sealable plastic storage bags (you can pack stuff in them for the trip to the Kyrgyz Republic)
- Aluminum foil
- Basic cookbook such as The Joy of Cooking
- French coffee press
- Packaged mixes for sauces, salad dressings, and soft drinks
- Your favorite spices
- Artificial sweetener, if you use it
- Peanut butter
- Popcorn
- External Hard Disk Drive(ESSENTIAL!) - Filled with all your music pictures, and favorite movies/tv shows
- Four passport-size photographs, which will be used by the Peace Corps and the Kyrgyz government for ID cards and visas
- Internal frame backpack or small overnight bag(usually more important for most volunteers than a frame backpack)
- Luggage straps
- Bungee cords
- Sturdy water bottle (e.g., Nalgene)
- Small tool kit (wire strippers and phone repair tools are also useful)
- Swiss army knife or Leatherman tool
- Watch (durable, water resistant, and inexpensive) with extra batteries(...but you'll have a cell)

- Your favorite music (inexpensive cassette tapes of many popular recording artists are available locally)
- Laptop
- Your favorite DVDs (including workout videos) if you are bringing a laptop.
- Camcorder
- Camera—35 mm compacts are best because they are more inconspicuous during travel (note that Advantix film processing and replacement batteries are not available locally)

- Musical instruments (if you play)

- Subscriptions to your favorite magazines

text: Ok so I have a couple of questions. DS is almost 7 mo. We've tried a couple things like banana and avocado, etc. He never took any of it, just spit it out. So we were at grandpa and grandma's house this weekend and he bought him some vegetable mix jar food, and fruit too. He ate the vegetable (I was so miffed that he ate for him and he doesn't take anything from DH or me!) but didn't like the fruit. Now I want to do BLS and make my own food, I don't want to do jar food, he bought that on his own. So my questions are, what's so bad about jar food? (I assume there is stuff added and it's not as healthy as stuff I would make). Also, how can I deal with the grandparents? I do everything different, BF CD BLS, so it's always been tough. What can I do that will get them to quit trying him to take all these foods and to get them to not give him jar food? I'm afraid he'll get used to the jar stuff and not take anything. Pretty much how do I stand my ground and show them I know what I'm doing? It's just hard and stressful and it feels like there's tension when we're around them

The Influence of Financial Industry Cluster on Economic Growth: Three Economic Zones in China
In recent years, financial industry cluster has flourished, promoting economic growth in local and surrounding areas. Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Bohai Economic Rim have facilitated economic growth in China. This paper first studies the situation of financial development and financial industry cluster in three economic zones, and finds that Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen centralize plenty of financial institutions and financial resources in three economic zones. Then this paper takes L-S model as theoretical basis, verifies the growth effect and radiation effect of financial industry cluster on regional economic growth, and finally puts forwards several pieces of suggestions.

For the second straight game the Spokane Chiefs had a lead and couldn't hang on. The Chiefs took a 3-1 lead when Brenden Kichton found the back of the net in the 3rd period. But Tri-City came storming back scoring twice in the last five minutes of regulation.
In overtime both teams had early chances but were unable to convert. But at the 5:10 mark in OT Blake Gal sent the Chiefs home happy. It was Gal's 5th goal already in just four playoff games, he's the first player in the WHL to have 5 goals this post sesaon.
With the win the Chiefs take a 3-1 game lead in the best of seven series. Game five will be Saturday night in the Tri-Cities with a win, the Chiefs can close out the series.

Hoard's Dairyman webinar discusses considerations when going to robots.
by Patti Hurtgen, Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager
Larry Tranel, Iowa State University, spoke on robotic milking during the August 12 Hoard's Dairyman webinar, titled "Is robotic milking a good deal?" His noon-time presentation covered a cross-section of financial and management considerations when contemplating installing automatic milking systems (AMS).
There are currently 22,000 robotic units installed in the world to milk dairy cows, and that number is expected to continue its uphill climb. They are used in conjuction with freestall housing, bedded packs and pasture-based operations. There are four primary companies that sell robotic milking systems. Your individual herd circumstances and unique benefits of each company's product will determine the best fit. Tranel advises those interested in this new technology to do their research and speak to companies, but also to other producers using the technology and other advisers. It is a large investment and you want to be sure you have asked and had all your questions answered before proceeding.
While some dairies milk twice or three times daily, cows milked with robotic systems can set their own schedule. The average milking per cow per day is between 2.4 and 3.0. Cows earlier in lactation will prefer to be milked more often. However, the sophisticated software alerts the dairy producer if a cow is not being milked regularly, indicating a health or management issue.
One robotic unit, which can handle 55 to 60 cows, costs about $180,000 to $220,000. And, depending on the producer's desire to frequently update equipment and/or software, can last for seven to 15 years.
There will be labor savings in the form of fewer hours spent milking cows, but additional time will be spent analyzing the data and using the tremendous amount of information the computer can generate. Time spent looking at reports and then utilizing the data shows a decrease of 4 days to first breeding, a drop of six days to conception and a calving interval of 7 days less.
Two robots can save a producer $102,471 in labor, chemicals and water usage. However, there will be higher electrical costs, and of course, the initial cost of the units. Somatic cell counts were virtually unchanged from traditional milking barn to robots. Tranel presented extensive slides on the financial viability of robot investments. You can find a spreadsheet at extension.iastate.edu/dairyteam. The Excel file is the fourth item listed.
Other considerations included barn design. You want well-lit areas near the robots to entice cows to enter the units. Provide water readily available near the exit so cows can drink after being milked without blocking others from entering the unit. Design and cow flow are important because dominant or aggressive cows can deter more timid ones from entering the milking unit.
Cows eat a pelleted feed while being milked. Pelleted feed reduces dustiness which can wear out equipment more rapidly. Nutritionists must also consider the feed value in the pelleted feed consumed while milking when balancing herd rations.
Quality of life is seen as a large benefit to using robots to milk. However, someone needs to be ready 24/7 to handle any issues with the machinery. The software automatically sends alerts to the producer's phone when a problem arises. A backup electricity generator is highly recommended both with robots or without.
When a new system is installed there is a learning curve for the cows as well as the producers. A trained representative from the robot company generally assists with adapting the cows to the new milking routine for the first few milkings. "The people adapting to the robots takes longer than the robots take to milk the cows," commented Tranel.
So, is robotic milking right for you?
The three key items that should influence your decision to use robotic milkers are:
- Initial investment cost and the salvage value. Can you afford the investment? Will there be some value to the unit after multiple years to resell to another producer?
- Interest rate what is the added cost of this purchase. If you are using cash reserves, place a value on that as well, as "opportunity costs" where that money could be earning money elsewhere.
- Milk production robots will boost milk production in a 2x herd by about 10 percent. But if you are constructing a new sand-bedded freestall barn, you may be getting more production from cow comfort and the robot increases will be less substantial. Also, those milking three times a day will not see the jump either, as cows are only milked about 2.5 times per day by robots.
"Overall, most people using robots are very happy with the technology and the cows have adapted to robotic milking. Only one or two people I have spoke with or know of have regretted the decision," remarked Tranel when asked about the acceptance of automated milking systems.

Next webinar
Join us September 9 for "New concepts in mastitis control." It will be presented by Pam Ruegg, D.V.M., University of Wisconsin-Madison. The webinar will be at noon (Central time) on Monday, September 9. The production of high quality milk is based on prevention of mastitis and early detection of new infections. This webinar will help producer and advisers understand some of the new technologies that are being used for detection and diagnosis of mastitis. It is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica, Inc.

The surest cure for the winter blahs is a dose of the tropics. Luckily, you can bring them home faster than hopping a jet to the islands. Break out the fruity drinks and island music, and invite some friends over. Who can be in a funk while partying it up, beach-style? Use these tips to turn your living room into a tropical oasis.
Lighten up. Bright colors are key when it comes to decorating your party room. Use paper garlands, honeycomb fruit decorations, colorful fish, hanging foil palm trees, silk flower garlands and raffia table skirts. Lots of light will boost everyone's mood.
No shirt, no shoes, no problem! Encourage guests to wear flip-flops, Hawaiian shirts, sarongs and sunglasses. To really get the beach feeling, slather on coconut-scented sunblock, and you'll almost feel the rays of sunshine.
Do the limbo rock. Crank up the reggae music and let the fun begin! Have a limbo contest. Award the best hula dancer or hula hoop expert. Hold a tropical trivia contest with questions about the Caribbean islands, tropical fish or plants.
Don't forget the tropical menu. Fruity, blended drinks are a must, and remember to add a tiny umbrella in each one. Feast on fresh pineapple, mango and papaya. Grill shrimp or prepare a spicy jerk chicken. For dessert, serve refreshing key lime pie.
Caribbean Jerk Chicken
Get ready to rock the grill with this spicy and wonderfully fragrant Caribbean Jerk Chicken. The zippy marinade includes hints of cinnamon, cayenne and thyme. We like to think of this dish as "chicken with attitude."
—Judy Kamalieh, Nebraska City, Nebraska
Fluffy Key Lime Pie
For a taste of paradise, try this light and creamy Fluffy Key Lime Pie confection. It's low in fat, sugar and fuss. Dessert doesn't get any easier!
—Frances VanFossan, Warren, Michigan
Tropical Fruit Drink
This yummy thirst-quencher with its smoothie-like texture stars strawberries, kiwifruit and mango. Pour your kids tall glasses of Tropical Fruit Drink—it's a good way to get them to eat their fruit.
—Janet Eggers, Suring, Wisconsin

No longer can we put up with this. What good will come out of having D'Antoni stay around? If anything, it will only end up hurting our chances, especially when we go after free agents and transactions. Look at how he handled the game today. It was just atrocious.
We had the hottest of hot shooters, passers, and defenders out there today....until Chandler started getting into the action. He sits Duhon, which was a great move, but leaves Chandler in. Did he not see that Chandler couldn't do anything? Did he see that Chandler threw the win away with his fouls, missed shots, botched passes, and failed defensive coverage? We sure as hell saw it.
There clearly was no play set up on that last possession, you know, the one that could have tied the game. He just does not have a handle on this team, and it's killing any chance of success.
I really am sick of him suppressing the potential of this team. No player, or players, will bring this team into a championship run while we have this maniac behind the wheel. He looks like he hasn't even taken the 5 hour drivers course. (Sorry for that metaphor, but I had to)
Let's here it guys!
He couldn't coach his way out of a battle while commanding a million Spartans who are immortal and have god-like abilities. He would still find a way to lose the battle, and I bet he wouldn't even set up a plan with his final push towards the enemy.
I've been ignoring OGKnicks and ABCD's arguments, but The name Patrick Ewing sounds pretty damn good right about now.
The only time will Mike's choking stop is if we have LeBron.
and if we do have Lebron, with 5 seconds to go against a team, and we give the pass to WILSON ****ING CHANDLER, then we can riot MSG.
I agree. Unless we have Lebron James, or Chris Paul (2 SUPER STARS, who dominate the ball)... there's no reason to have this idiot coach our team.
Imagine if the championship was on the line?
Up by 3. 12 seconds left. He doesn't foul?
Be careful what you say about D'antoni on this website.He has a group of followers that look up to him as the most sacred Knick coach in the Knicks' 60 year history.These people think that with Lebron James he will win 10 championships for the Knicks.
But really guys, should it come down to bringing in a superstar just so that D'Antoni is wooed into giving him the ball? It's like we are talking about a wild animal instead of a person. Bring in a huge piece of steak and maybe he will train the cubs right. Why not just get rid of him if it takes two max contracts to make up for his inability to do anything?
this team will not be taken seriously with him as a coach.a player like james knows exactly what it takes to win, and mike is not that coach.
