WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.
Name of Product: Jenny Lind Cribs
Units: About 750,000
Distributor: Evenflo Inc., of Miamisburg, Ohio
Hazard: The cribs' drop sides can malfunction, detach or otherwise fail, causing part of the drop side to fall out of position, creating a space into which an infant or toddler can roll and become wedged or entrapped, which can lead to strangulation or suffocation. A child can also fall out of the crib. Drop-side incidents can also occur due to incorrect assembly and with age-related wear and tear.
Incidents/Injuries: CPSC and Evenflo have received 31 reports of drop sides that malfunctioned or detached. One involved the entrapment of a seven month old boy between the drop side and the crib mattress. He sustained bumps and bruises to his head. Nine children fell out of the crib when the drop side detached, unlocked or fell off. Seven of those children sustained minor injuries, including bumps, bruises and cuts. Fourteen other incidents involved no injuries. In addition, CPSC has received two reports of children who became entrapped when the mattress support detached in one corner of cribs manufactured between 2000 and 2004.
Description: The following Evenflo crib models are included in this recall. The model number is located on a label on the bottom beam of the headboard.
Sold at: Children's product stores and various other retailers nationwide from January 2000 through November 2007 for about $200.
Manufactured in: Mexico and China
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled drop-side cribs and contact Evenflo to receive a free repair kit that will immobilize the drop side. A repair kit for the mattress support system is also available for cribs with model numbers starting with 012 and 014 that were manufactured between 2000 and 2004. In the meantime, find an alternate, safe sleep environment for the child, such as a bassinet, play yard or toddler bed depending on the child's age. The repair kits will be provided to consumers within the next several weeks.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Evenflo at (800) 356-2229 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the firm's web site at http://safety.evenflo.com
Important Message from CPSC: CPSC reminds parents not to use any crib with missing, broken, or loose parts. Make sure to tighten hardware from time to time to keep the crib sturdy. When using a drop-side crib, parents should check to make sure the drop side or any other moving part operates smoothly. Always check all sides and corners of the crib for disengagement. Disengagements can create a gap and entrap a child. In addition, do not try to repair any side of the crib. Babies have died in cribs where repairs were attempted by caregivers. Age is factor in the safety of any crib. At a minimum, CPSC staff recommends that you not use a crib that is older than 10 years. Many older cribs may not meet current voluntary standards and can have numerous safety problems.

Not the best quality
By Patsy
from Ocean, NJ
This is not the best example of the wonderful Irish workmanship I've ever seen. The stitches are rather loose and subject to pull. It is not a one size fits all. I am average size and find it a bit small overall. The costs certainly does not match the garment. However, I will keep it since I really like shawls. I just wish it were a better quality and a more generous fit overall.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

My Husband just got me one for Christmas. I had seen it in the catalog but thought it just looked like something a grandmother would use and never gave it a second look. When I opened it I was thinking what am I going to do with this? Then I started using it at night when watching TV.I'm short so right away I found it was just the right size for me so I do not feel like I have a hugh heavy blanket on me. Also it has open arms so it's easy to have your shoulders and part of your arms covered and still have them free to grab your cup of tea or laptop...I like it because you can wear a sleveless top so you don't over heat and then put this around you when chilly and its warm with out making you feel to wraped up. The workmanship is beautiful.I'm gald my husband knew I needed it! It's a keeper:)
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not warm enough
By CatyCay
from Hamden, CT
I would keep this except that it just isn't warm enough for me. My shoulders and back aren't kept warm enough and my arms get very cold. I have been using this at my desk when working. Love the look of it; beautiful material and beautifully made; however, it needs to be a different, heavier fabric I think. Plus, arms being cold is a big downer. I will be returning it, unfortunately.
the shawl is awesome

My 3-year-old niece Marissa wants to bypass Head Start and go straight to graduate school. Unlike her mom, Julie, who marched into the principal's office in Head Start at age 4 and announced she was quitting school, Marissa simply wants to jump ahead.
Marissa is in training right now — potty training that is — and we keep telling her: "You need to go to the potty so you can go to Nana's school!"
Nana is my younger sister, a.k.a. Maria Yolanda, and she's a teacher with Head Start, a preschool of which myself and all four of my sisters, as well as my daughter and many of my nieces are proud graduates.
The last time I said this to Marissa, she was busy coloring, and as usual she was trying to make excuses to not go to the potty. Potties just don't interest her right now. So when I said, "Don't you want to go to Nana's school?" she's like, "No, I want to go to your school!"
So then I tell her, "Well … we don't do much coloring in graduate school, Marissa." But that didn't phase her. She kept insisting, "I want to go to your school!"
So then I'm like, "Well, I guess being potty trained is definitely one prerequisite for admission into graduate school." Of course it helps to also learn your ABCs, colors and shapes and to also know how to read, add and subtract, the latter two of which I am still learning.
At her tender age, Marissa seems fascinated with the idea of having homework. By the time you get to graduate school, this fascination becomes more of an obsession. Lately, I've been telling Marissa that I can't stay and visit or take her with me because I have to do homework.
She seems to think homework is fun. She wants homework just like her older sisters, Anisha and Stephanie. Of course, I didn't tell Marissa that homework is all I do right now. It's my life. I wake up doing homework. I breathe homework. I go to sleep doing homework. I have nightmares about forgetting to do my homework. I also have dreams about what my life was like before I had so much homework and I fantasize about what my life will be like again in about a week when this semester from hell is over and I have no more homework for awhile.
Then I start thinking about Robert Fulghum's book, "All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten." Being that I hope to graduate with a master of arts degree in December, I thought I should get back to the basics and give myself a refresher of what I learned in kindergarten, and even in Head Start. It just may help me when I take my written and oral comp exams next fall.
With all the scholarly knowledge I've acquired, I still forget sometimes to do the things Fulghum says we should have been taught in kindergarten, if not in Head Start, things like taking a nap every day, living a balanced life (what's that?), playing fair and the big ones: Sharing, holding hands, sticking together, cleaning up your mess and watching out for traffic.
Life can be that simple if we keep things in perspective, but that's easier said than done. In the world of a 3-year-old, though, I'd say Marissa's got it down. At her age, she's developed some remarkable linguistic skills.
When you ask her something, she replies: "Just because!"'
When someone questions her, she says: "It's not my fault!"
And when my mom scolds her, she puts her hands on her hips and says: "Don't yell at me!"
It would be nice if these three phrases would get me through my last semester of graduate school next fall. My whole thesis defense could be: "Just because." If something goes wrong and doesn't make sense, I'll say, "It's not my fault!" and when they reprimand me, I'll say, "Don't yell at me!"
It works for Marissa, but then again, I'm not as cute. One thing I do have going for me though: I am potty trained.

Babe Ruth Champions
By Steve Swick
Staff Writer
The Elkins 15-year-old All-Stars captured the state championship with an 8-0 win over Huntington Southeastern Wednesday night at Robin Harvey Memorial Field.
"This team was the state runner-up as 13-year-olds, won the state championship as 14-year-olds and were just on a mission to repeat," Elkins manager Chris Broughton said.
Elkins advances to the Ohio Valley Regional Tournament, which begins later this month in Zanesville, Ohio.
Elkins surrendered just one base runner in the top of the first when Ben Haikel singled. He was put out at second base on a fielder's choice one batter later.
Daniel Crawford went to the plate first for Elkins and drew a walk. Two batters later, Joseph Severino belted a double to the outfield wall. P.J. Lanham singled to bring in both Crawford and Severino, and Ryan Hoffman followed with another single.
That was enough for Huntington to relieve Myles Robertson on the mound and bring in Haikel to pitch.
After Kole Hopwood drove in Lanham, the scoring was over in the first inning with Elkins leading 3-0.
Huntington had two runners reach base in the second but Robertson was out on runner interference after he reached on an error. A strikeout and a putout at first ended the visitor's half.
The home half saw Jared Kerns reach on a fielder's choice, followed by a single from Crawford.
Cole Harlan then belted a deep two-run double to make it a 5-0 Elkins lead.
Elkins starter Caleb Riggleman, meanwhile, allowed just one hit during the third, fourth and fifth innings. The right-hander finished the night with 12 strikeouts and gave up just five singles.
Kyle Chaffin hit a single in the third and Jacob Kitchen a single in the fifth. During that time, he recorded seven strikeouts.
In the bottom of the fifth, Riggleman started things off with a single and Joseph Terrano came in to pinch-run for him. After Kerns was issued a walk, Harlan brought home Terrano by reaching on an error. Severino then scored Kerns on a flyout to left field. Harlan ended the scoring when he touched home on a wild pitch.
Huntington could not get anything going in the sixth or seventh innings either. It was held to one base runner in the sixth on a single by Haikel. In the seventh, Ryan Riddle singled but Riggleman mowed down the final two batters to end the game.
Broughton was very upbeat after his squad captured the title.
He mentioned, "The defense was confident, the bats came around and it was a total team effort."
He especially wanted to praise the pitching, stating that "through 25 innings over four games, our pitchers did not walk a single batter."
Broughton also wanted to laud the parents and his assistant coaches, Tug Ross, Keith Hopwood and scorekeeper Brad Schumacher, for a great job. He also praised tournament director Robin Spicer and the Brian Webley and the grounds crew.
"All of those guys did a terrific job with this tournament," Broughton said. "With all the rain and weather problems, they kept things running smoothly."
Huntington had reached the championship game by upending Beckley, 8-6, in a game that started Tuesday evening but was suspended by rain.
When the game was halted Tuesday in the fourth inning, Huntington held a 5-1 advantage. Beckley battled back, however, and took a 6-5 lead after scoring two in the fourth and three in the fifth.
Dylan Foster had a two-run single in the fifth.
Huntington answered back in the seventh scoring three runs on doubles by Collin Damron and Riddle, and a single by Joseph Kitchen
Beckley got two men on base in the bottom of the seventh but its second comeback was thwarted.

Low Level Mercury - Instrumentation & EPA 1631 Rev. E
Hi Everyone,
I am interested in hearing any comments regarding recent Gold and Soda Lime Trap issues that may be leading to signal suppression of Hg readings? Recently, we have seen signal suppression on samples, blanks, standards, and other qc samples that we've traced (we think) to the Gold Traps and perhaps the Soda Lime traps and specifically the silanized components of those traps.
Has anyone experienced the same thing recently or in the past? If so, what was done to resolve the issue?
Thank You
This is a new one for me. I'd be very interested in anything that has been published/written on this.
Our concerns over 1631E are not instrumental. We (and others) have found that the room temperature, BrCl digestion can "miss" a lot of mercury in domestic and industrial wastewater, by over an order of magnitude in some cases.
We've raised the issue a number of times with the EPA, but they are totally uninterested, claiming that the caution already in the digestion part of the protocol is enough. We put out a paper in WER and have given a number of talks at national meetings, but have been unable to get the EPA to toughen-up the language in the method.

Wolf Project Kicks Off Winter Research
While Yellowstone wolf research takes place year-round, it's easiest to monitor and study wolves in the wintertime because they leave tracks in the snow, tend to travel in packs during the daytime, and are present at lower elevations. Each winter, Yellowstone Wolf Project staff and volunteers brave frigid temperatures and unpredictable weather on a daily basis to conduct essential research on the park's wolf packs.
Since wolves were reintroduced to the park 16 years ago, the effects of restoration continue to shape the story of Yellowstone. This close monitoring contributes to ongoing research on the impacts of wolves on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. It also helps to keep track of the general health, size, and territory needs of the park's wolf population. The Yellowstone Park Foundation funds much of this important research, accounting for approximately 60% of the Yellowstone Wolf Project's annual budget.
Here's a sampling of what's in store for Wolf Project staff over the coming weeks:
Population counts
Each December, Wolf Project staff count the park's wolf population. In December 2010, 97 wolves were counted within Yellowstone's borders. It is expected, after strong pup survival in the spring of 2011, that the number will be slightly higher this winter.
Research Studies
Winter studies of wolf predation take place each year. Wolf Project staff analyze confirmed or possible wolf kills to determine prey species, gender, size, health, and other factors that help us better understand the impact of wolves as keystone predators. Other research includes topics such as population genetics, disease, and observations of wolf, grizzly bear, and bison interactions in Pelican Valley.
One of the reasons Yellowstone's wolves have contributed so significantly to the world's total body of knowledge of wolf behavior is the intensive visual monitoring. Thousands of recorded ground and aerial observations each year are used to piece together the stories of the wolves and packs of Yellowstone. Wolves are more visible in the snowy winter landscape, and avid wolf watchers know that winter is a great time to come to Yellowstone and see wolves in the Lamar Valley!
Collar placement takes place in the winter months, when wolves can more easily be tracked and captured, and ends before female wolves retreat to their dens for birthing. VHF and GPS collars are critical to monitoring wolves in Yellowstone's vast wilderness. Twelve wolves were captured and collared by Wolf Project staff during January and February 2011. Currently, roughly 25% of wolves in Yellowstone are collared.

A new study suggests that you may be walking away from a hotel room with more than just a free pen or a towel -- you may have picked up someone else's fecal matter.
According to the study, which was presented at the General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology, researchers from the University of Houston swabbed down 19 areas in various hotel rooms, including remote controls, telephones and door handles, and found that more than 81 percent of the surfaces held the fecal bacterium E. coli, ABC News reported.
Katie Kirsch, a student at the University of Houston and author of the study, said in a statement, "Currently, housekeeping practices vary across brands and properties with little or no standardization industry-wide."
She said the study "could aid hotels in adopting a proactive approach for reducing potential hazards … and provide a basis for the development of more effective and efficient housekeeping practices."
Researchers said they determined that maid carts may be to blame when it comes to contamination. The study found the bacteria blooming on the carts as well as on the cleaning supplies carried on the carts, such as mops and sponges used to tidy up hotel rooms.
ABC News reported that hotel housekeepers are usually tasked with cleaning about 16 rooms in an eight-hour shift -- averaging just 30 minutes per room.
According to Kirsch, minimizing the potential health risks posed by microbial contamination comes down to better cleaning and awareness of the dangers.

Give him 20 games guys!
This is a thread for support for D'Antoni
He hasn't been successful thus far, but you can't change the past, only the future.
Maybe we'll never be successful as a championship team with this system.
We can win.
win games.
Be a .500 team
and make the playoffs.
Thats better than anything we have ever done since Marbury lead us to the playoffs.
Share your thoughts, logic, opinions on D'Antoni and his possible success in now and in the future with the Knicks.
As for the slimey haters.
Give him 20 games guys!
exclusive Post interview
"It's a matter of time,'' Marbury added. "It's a countdown now. He put a countdown on his head. Now (the fans) know we're never going to win a championship like this.''
'He doesn't teach defense,'' Marbury said. "He teaches offense. (Jeff) Van Gundy teaches defense. (The D'Antoni system) doesn't work in New York. Not in the East. You have to have a team that dives for balls and takes the 3 when nobody expects you to take the 3. You have to be inside the fans' minds and that's what they want. There's knowledgeable people in the arena. They're talking to you while you're shooting a jump shot.''

I might despise him as a person but as a coach, he does deserve between 20 and 40 games before I can say fire him. Part of me wants to hop on that bandwagon right now but it would be unfair.
I do believe his defensing coaching skills are questionable, but if the team takes it upon themselves to dive for loose balls (no homo), fight through screens instead of going under them, and keep their opponents infront of them, then that might not matter. Turiaf is back tonight and I think our defense is much better when hes on the floor.
if Steph doesn't support D'Antoni, I may have to change my stance on this.
Damn! you got 5 responses for support and 2 of them are you....smh
Bad timing... you should wait til' we at least go on a three game winning streak.
We all from NY... since when do make excuses? Since when do we not just look at the results as the barometer? It's sad. I'm starting to think many KOL posters aren't real NY'ers. Cause the NY'ers I know care about the bottom line- not the reasons why it looks so bleek. N*ggas have some f*cking standards for crying out loud... its ok to admit if he isn't a good fit.
We'll see what happens. I voted in another thread to give him 20 games to turn it around. I don't think that's unreasonable.
D'Antoni has failed as a coach, for the 3rd straight season.
D'Antoni's record with the Knicks, since taking over as head coach:
There's no way the Knicks are getting out of their 3-7 hole under D'Antoni.
Jeremon Linbury
I don't think you need between 20 and 40 games to tell dudes to stop chucking shots late in the game when you're trailing. Especially with everyone in the Garden screaming their asses off in anger at every perimeter shot that goes up.
Unless you guys are willing to bet that our shots will start falling consistently in 20-40 games, then ok...I guess.
But we're going to remain a "win one lose tons" team until we start utilizing more off-ball movement, down screens, back door cuts, etc. and the age old basketball 101 premise of move your body and move the ball. Swinging the ball around the perimeter for a 3 pointer, and standing around while STAT goes one on 3 in the middle of a zone defense isn't going to win anything...and I don't see why it would take any coach 20 to 40 games to just say "let's try something else." It took the fans the preseason and 10 games to say "what the **** is this?"
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.

On the Skyline Express at Stevens Pass.
Alright Ian. I'm going to drop a chairlift interview on you.
Uh oh. Now?
Tell us about your season so far.
The season so far has been great. November in Washington and British Columbia was just insane. We got tons of snow and it stayed cold. Lots of really good pow days and that carried on through about the middle of December. Then right after the New Year I took a two-and a half week trip with Matchstick Productions to Rogers Pass, BC for a pillow-mission skinning trip with Mark Abma and Eric Hjorleifson with really good snow. It was super deep—probably one of the top three deepest pow days of my life. I got back from that and kind of waited around for the snow. Unfortunately the snow in the Northwest had gone away at that point in time. Fortunately I hooked up with a gig with Salomon to go over to Austria for a couple weeks with Cody Townsend and Elyse Saugstad. Just got back from that and I've been home for about a week. As soon as you got to town you brought some snow, so I'm pretty stoked that it's back to normal again.
Right on. You're a Nikon shooter. What is your gun of choice?
My gun of choice is the Nikon D3. Loving that. I switched over to that last year and it's an awesome camera.
What's your preferred lense?
I alternate pretty much 50/50 between the Nikon 28-70 mm f/2.8 and the 80-200 f/2.8. Between the two of those I can pretty much cover all the bases I need. I've been sticking to the telephoto more recently than the wide-angle.
Any advice for aspiring ski photographers?
Be prepared to stand around in the cold for long periods of time. Just get out and try and shoot as much as you possible can. Be creative and think outside the box. Don't take the standard cliché images because everyone's already seen those. Do something to set yourself apart from everyone else. That makes you stand out. Have fun while you're doing it.
Awesome. What do you have lined up for the rest of your season?
I'm getting ready to move into terrain park season here towards the end of March and beginning of April. Until then I'm hoping that the Northwest or somewhere else, maybe Utah or Jackson, continues to get pummeled with snow and I can get a few more weeks of pow shooting before I turn into a jib monkey.
Great. Thanks Ian.
Check out the following slides to see more of Ian and Tyler working yesterday at Stevens Pass.

"I was able to import pictures from my ipad onto the card and they looked fabulous and flawless. The paper used is so professional people couldn't believe I did this myself. Great product."
"Very elegant looking card. I used the black & gold colors and personalized it on the back with 2 photo options from my son's High School years. Several compliments from friends who received this announcement."
"The announcements came out wonderful. I was able to use my son's school colors. The paper quality was awesome! 100% satisfaction"
"Liked the number of photo options, as well as, being able to use space for a personal message and also an inspirational quote. Upgraded to the black envelopes to better coordinate the set. Felt that the basic paper option still provided a "keepsake" quality. Most importantly, my graduating daughter loved them. Will definitely use TinyPrints services again."

Chinese Year of the Horse off to a rough start
- 3:40 pm Tuesday, February 4th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
If the characteristics of those born in the Year of the Horse could be translated into some kind of market forecast, it's clear that things are off to a rough start. That's because as much as those under this seventh sign of the Chinese horoscope that began last week are known for their free spirits, they are also likely to be great savers and financial savvy but somewhat unpredictable.
Those last three points—great savers, financially savvy and unpredictable—are things investors born whenever would be wise to keep in mind this year.

Make-believe was the best. I never thought I'd use the phrase "kids today", but do kids today even know how to use their imaginations? You'd have to turn off the pc, ipod, and tv in order to think...lol.ReplyDelete
I so enjoyed reading about your memories of toys...especially the car with the washing machine motor! Great post!ReplyDelete

Button up your overcoat
November 6, 2013 —
For something completely different, I've a song stuck in my head. Although I would like to think I'm "special," this is not an unusual occurrence and most people have experienced the same thing more than once in their lives. If you've ever read this column before, you know that this syndrome is not new for me. Happens all the time. Being addicted to the Internet, I surfed for an explanation, and although theories abound, there is no single, definitive interpretation, but of course, there's a name for it—"earworm." My go-to source (www.wikipedia.com) defines earworm as "a catchy piece of music that continuously repeats through a person's mind" and goes on to say that "the phenomenon is common and should not be confused with palinacousis, a rare medical condition caused by damage to the temporal lobe of the brain that results in auditory hallucinations." Hmm.
Rather than believing that I have actual brain damage, I'll assume (for the moment) that I'm suffering from the more common type of earworm and leave the fancy term for later. Meanwhile, the lyrics repeat constantly and there's a simple reason—it's cold outside. Waking up to frigid temps the other day, I glanced at the thermometer, (21 degrees), put a serape on the Wonder Dog and serenaded her on our way outside to warm up the truck. "Button up your overcoat," I wheezed, observing the puffs of steam emanating from our breath, "when the wind is free, take good care of yourself, you belong to me." Searching for the bright side, I grabbed the camera and snapped some pics of Jack Frost's handiwork on the windshield and the surrounding countryside. As usual, I took comfort knowing that while life in the Upper Delaware River Valley might provide some weather-related challenges, there are stunning vistas all year 'round and that I have the opportunity to document the ever-changing landscape. Thinking back and realizing that "Superstorm Sandy" had wreaked havoc across the region a year ago, I took a long, labored breath and soldiered on. "Better pace ourselves" I mused while planning my next move. "After all" I thought "It's still apple picking time." Sure enough, the musical demon raised its ugly head. "Wear your flannel underwear, when you climb a tree, take good care of yourself… blah, blah blah." Officially, winter is still a long way off (December 21), but I got out the flannels, put the bed warmer on and made plans for visiting my first (gasp) holiday market (www.templesholomny.org) in Monticello, NY.

What is in this article?:
- Expect big price swings in cattle market for 2012
- Higher corn, bean prices
- Next year's cattle market will have the potential for some big price swings.
- Cattlemen will need to search for ways to lower their unit costs of production and ways to enhance market prices in order to achieve profitability during 2012.
More About:
Cattle market prices for 2012 should remain fundamentally strong and average 4 to 8 percent higher than in 2011.
However, next year's market will have the potential for some big price swings.
"Cattlemen will need to search for ways to lower their unit costs of production and ways to enhance market prices in order to achieve profitability during 2012," says Walt Prevatt, Auburn University Extension economist, in his annual U.S. Beef Cattle Situation and 2012 Price Outlook.
Factors to watch in 2012, says Prevatt, include the current weak U.S. economy, high levels of unemployment, lack of consumer confidence, political gridlock and chaos at all levels of government, an upcoming U.S. Presidential election, and various other issues.
"There is little wonder why future economic uncertainty is fresh in the minds of many U.S. citizens," he says. "The decisions made on these issues are believed to have an overwhelming effect on business and consumer spending and our future prosperity.
"Unfortunately, there is not convincing evidence about what the future holds. Consumers, at least for right now, are spending less and saving more. Only time will tell if this may be the start of a longer-term shift in consumer behavior."
Abrupt changes in economic factors could add much volatility to 2012 cattle market prices, he adds.
Turning to beef supply, Prevatt says U.S. cattle farmers are continuing to decrease their inventory of cattle and calves. The major factors responsible for causing cattle inventory declines include a combination of a lack of profitability by the majority of cow-calf farmers (due to weak beef demand which was caused by the severe recession), high production costs (feed, fertilizer, fuel, labor, land rents, etc.), large levels of competing meats, and alternative uses of land (pasture acreage moving into grain production and/or conservation programs and other non-farm uses such as recreation and rural non-farm development).
"Given the current lackluster level of profits and immense uncertainty in the U.S. general economy, cattle farmers will likely continue to liquidate cattle numbers until profitability can be achieved," he says.
In the mid-year July 1, 2011 Cattle Report, cattle farmers told USDA they had about 350,000 fewer beef cows that had calved (down 1.1 percent) than a year ago. Beef cow replacements were down 200,000 head (down 4.6 percent) from a year ago at 4.2 million head. A decrease in beef cow replacements and beef cows that have calved during 2011 suggests that herd liquidation will continue in 2012, says Prevatt.
A smaller inventory of cattle and calves and smaller calf crop during 2011 will limit beef production during 2012, he continues. USDA projects U.S. beef production during 2012 to be about 25.1 billion pounds (down 4.4 percent from a year ago). This level of beef production will be influenced by any adjustments in average carcass weights and the level of feeder and live cattle imports (from Canada and Mexico).
The 2011 growing season of the major grain production regions got off to a slow start, says Prevatt. Weather conditions hindered planting in most major grain growing areas, and the majority of the crop received average to slightly below average growing conditions during most of the season. Harvest weather is currently adequate in most areas for a timely harvest, he says.
If USDA's current corn and soybean production forecasts are realized, corn production will be about 0.05 billion bushels larger than a year ago and soybean production will be about 0.2 billion bushels smaller than a year ago.

It's a fun team. And a well-built team.
They had a similar effect as we did pre-Melo:
they are able to challenge superior teams, by the collective force of their style of play, and the whole being worth more than the sum of parts. And ya, they are young enough and have the cap space to be in a position to rationally build a bit more to actually challenge the NBA elite.
Also, I can't help but find it hilarious (even though it *is* true), that many of the same people rationalizing us getting our asses handed to us by MIA (Chandler sick for Game1, Shumpert injured, Amare hand etc etc) acted like complete ****ing tards when we get swept by the Celtics, just bc their dicks got hard every time they had a chance to try to attack the MDA Straw Man.
When the truth is, we were much more legitimately competitive vs the Celtics last year, than vs MIA this year, despite being more deterred by injury, and being much less talented overall.

Minneapolis to tun out lights for 'Earth Hour' Saturday
Published On: Mar 22 2013 06:40:44 AM CDT Updated On: Mar 22 2013 06:40:00 AM CDT
Some Minnesota cities will turn off the lights Saturday for "Earth Hour."
The City of Minneapolis will turn off all non-essential electricity in major municipal buildings from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m.
In Eden Prairie, the city's most recognized landmark -- the Market Center Water Tower -- will go dark for Earth Hour.
Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, and has spread across the globe. Residents, governments and businesses are encouraged to switch off their lights and non-essential electricity to show concern about climate change.
The City of Minneapolis has observed Earth Hour since 2008.

King's Pawn

Grid List
A Grandmaster Guide
Developing a punchy repertoire with 1.e4 requires extensive research, mixed with fine judgement and a good deal of creativity. In this two-volume work, GM John Shaw supplies an ambitious and dynamic arsenal of ideas for White. The repertoire is built around main lines, with many innovative suggestions that will cause no end of trouble to your opponents.
Playing 1.e4 - Caro-Kann, 1.. E5 & Minor Lines
A Quick-to-Learn King's Pawn Repertoire with Healthy Development and Attacking Chances
By carefully choosing variations that lead to similar structures, IM Sam Collins has put together a powerful repertoire book ideal for players with limited study time. White opens with 1 e4 and develops his pieces to natural squares, seeking open lines and the initiative.
A Simple Chess Opening Repertoire for White
Are you well versed in main lines but are you also often surprised by old and forgotten gambit lines? Or are you tired of main lines and do you prefer some easy to learn, yet very dangerous gambits? This is your DVD! In his Gambit Guide Vol. 1 Dutch Grandmaster Erwin l'Ami takes you on a journey through time and shows gambit lines in the Open Games (that is, after 1.e4 e5).
A Gambit Guide through the Open Game - Erwin L'Ami - Volume I
In Volume 2 of his Gambit Guide Dutch Grandmaster Erwin l'Ami brings back the romantic days of chess when pawns were routinely sacrificed in huge numbers! It features such enterprising gambits such as the Marshall Gambit, the Scotch Gambit, the Jänisch Gambit, and the Evans Gambit.
A Gambit Guide through the Open Game - Erwin L'Ami - Volume 2
In Playing1.e4 e5 – A Classical Repertoire, Nikolaos Ntirlis offers the best of both worlds: a complete repertoire against 1.e4, built on sound positional principles, which does not require excessive memorization. Against the Spanish the author recommends the Breyer System, one of the most stable, computer-proof options at Black's disposal. The Scotch, Italian, Four Knights and various other sidelines and gambits are handled with the same clarity and efficiency.
Playing 1. e4 e5 - A Classic Repertoire
Several years ago ChessBase released a DVD focusing on attacking in the Italian Game and Ruy Lopez – it was met with a great deal of positive feedback. Based on the overwhelming number of reader requests, we decided to get to work on another DVD on the subject, concentrating not only on the attacking ideas, but also providing a complete repertoire for White players in both the Bishop's Opening & the Italian Game - avoiding the very unpleasant Petroff.
The Bishop's Opening & the Italian Game - Sergei Tiviakov
Hosted by the Masters of ChessLecture
Petrov's Defence (also called Petroff's Defence, Russian Game and Russian Defence) is a chess opening characterized by the following moves: 1. E4 e5 2 Nf3 Nf6 Though it has a reputation for being dull, the Petrov offers many possibilities for Black. Grandmasters Karpov, Yusupov, Smyslov, Marshall, Krammik and Pillsbury have frequently played the Petrov as Black.
Studies in: The Petrov Defense - 2 DVDs - Chess Lecture - Volume 129
The Two Knights Defence is one of the oldest opening lines in chess history. The sharp positions, arising after the moves 4.Ng5 d5 5.exd5, have intrigued players for many decades! World Champions like Wilhelm Steinitz and Bobby Fischer shaped the opening. This DVD is aimed at players of both sides, giving an objective overview of all relevant theoretical lines. The DVD also includes a database with model games and an interactive section with memory markers and tactics where the viewer can test his newly acquired knowledge.
The Modern Two Knights - Erwin L'Ami
Chess University
Nikolai Kalinichenko, an international grandmaster in correspondence player and author of some 40 chess titles, presents here a complete and up-to-date opening repertoire. It is intended for players of attacking style, or for use when the competitive situation demands an aggressive approach. The repertoire is based on 1. e4 as White and the Sicilian Dragon and Leningrad Dutch as Black. Suggestions are also offered against all the opponent's main alternatives.
An Aggressive Opening Repertoire for the Club Player
The Vienna set-up aims for very aggressive play, which often includes sacrifices. But White prefers to be on the safe side, without burning all the bridges and to try to justify his actions from the point of view of positional play as well. At first, he deploys his minor pieces to active positions, then he advances the thematic move f4, castles (usually on the kingside) and begins an attack only after all this. Despite the fact that the move 2.Nc3 has been played for more than a hundred years, there has not been defined a clear-cut scheme for playing this set-up.
The Modern Vienna Game
Tired of Bad Positions? Try the Main Lines!
In the Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4 series, Indian superstar Parimarjan Negi presents his own world-class repertoire. Building on a foundation of tried-and-tested main lines, the author shares a wealth of his innovative analysis to chart a course towards an advantage for White.Volume One covers the French, Caro-Kann and Philidor.
Grandmaster Repertoire - 1. e4 vs. The French, Caro-Kann & Philidor
Grandmaster Victor Mikhalevski is a veteran chess trainer with over 15 years of teaching experience. GM Mikhalevski is well-known as a fearless attacking player and in this chess DVD he will instruct viewers on how Grandmasters prepare their opening repertoire for elite competition.
How Grandmasters Beat Gambits: King Pawn Openings - EMPIRE CHESS
While almost everybody is spending 95% of his opening preparation time on major lines, there are some tricky players including strong GMs (I am not an exception) who prepare for their opponents some side lines, which contain many an underwater reef. I decided to collect those secondary openings in one single DVD. From now on openings such as the Pirc, the Scandinavian and the Alekhine Defences will not appear to you in your nightmares any more. The 1.e4 player should be actually thank Black for choosing these openings, since he is providing White with a better centre, a stable advantage and generally speaking pleasant play. The only thing White needs to do is to spend some time studying the lines. I will not bother you with encyclopaedic approach. There is a more practical way.
1. e4 - How to Tame the Alekhine, Scandinavian and Pirc - Viktor Bologan

The last two nights my lo has slept much better. We go to bed around 11pm and he does a 3 hour stretch and then 2 hour stretches after that..give or take a little bit.
BUT now when I wake up in middle of the night to feed him, my breasts are rock hard and really painful!! Of course he doesn't latch on right because they are so full. I try to get some milk out with my hands before trying to get lo on...but he screams because I am taking to long.
My question is...should I pump in the middle of the night or will my breasts regulate to my sons new night feeding schedule and ease up with time?

Police: Armed robbery was a hoax
A Vermont State Police detective said the armed robbery at a Wallingford gas station last month was staged by the store manager and her boyfriend to cover up an embezzlement of funds.
Detective Sgt. Albert Abdelnour said Thursday the surveillance video from the store tipped them off that the robbery was not as reported. He said the video showed store manager Kelly English, 32, and her boyfriend William Shaw, 30, both of Rutland, standing in the store, but Shaw was not standing in any way threatening toward English, as a person would do during a robbery.
He was just standing idly behind her, Abdelnour said. It was weird seeing him stand there. At one point he is (also) seen holding the door open for her.
The alleged robbery took place at the Smart Shop store at 172 North Main St. in Wallingford on March 26. The initial 911 complaint made by English, who is six months pregnant, said she was opening the shop when a man with a knife came up to her and forced her inside.
English told police the robber forced her into the bathroom, stole an undisclosed amount of cash and took her car keys. The vehicle was later recovered on Creek Road near the Route 4 overpass in North Clarendon.
Abdelnour said what they found in the car was also a hint that the robbery was staged. One of the two bank bags taken from the store was found in the car, but instead of money, police found a paperback romance.
He said the investigation also found English was embezzling money from the stores deposits using a process referred to as rolling deposits.
Basically you subtract $500 in (one days) deposit and use the other days money to cover it, the detective said.
English started stealing just before Christmas, he said, adding that she took a total of about $9,650 to support a prescription drug addiction. That money, along with an $145 taken during the staged robbery, has not been recovered, Abdelnour said.
English and Shaw were arrested Thursday on charges of embezzlement and giving false information to police. They were lodged at the Rutland jail and will be arraigned today in Rutland criminal court.

Recognizing Waterborne Disease
And The Health Effects of Water Pollution
Physician On-line Reference Guide
August 8, 2016 - This CME-MOC opportunity is no longer available.
The WaterHealthConnection.org website has provided access to free web-based information addressing waterborne disease and the health effects of water pollution and contamination to hundreds of thousands of users since 2002. While we are pleased that this website has been a valuable resource to so many, we have made the decision to shut down the website effective August 12, 2016. If you have any questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com Continuing Medical Education Credits (CME)

Physician On-Line Reference Guide:
Contamination of water reserves by biological, chemical, and radiologic agents may affect the health of millions of residents in the United States as well as many others throughout the world. Water consumers are frequently unaware of the potential health risks associated with exposure to waterborne contaminants and often consult practicing healthcare providers who are unfamiliar with water pollution issues and their subsequent impact on human health. Misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis of water-related disease by the medical community may result in significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in vulnerable populations at increased risk of disease as a result of exposure to waterborne pathogens and chemical and radiologic contaminants.
Recognizing and treating waterborne disease and the health effects of acute and chronic exposure to water pollution is a diagnostic dilemma for most practicing healthcare providers in the United States and across the globe. The majority of healthcare providers have received no formalized training in the recognition, evaluation, and treatment of waterborne disease or in the management of the short- and long-term health effects of water pollution during their medical education or subsequently during their years in active clinical practice.
Healthcare practitioners face many challenges when attempting to accurately diagnose and appropriately manage and treat waterborne disease and the sequelae of acute and chronic exposure to waterborne contaminants. Many of the signs and symptoms of waterborne disease and the health effects of water pollution are non-specific and often mimic more common medical conditions and disorders. Presenting patients may not be aware of previous waterborne exposure and may not provide accurate exposure histories. Many of the pathogens and chemical contaminants found in the water environment are not unique to water and may exhibit multiple routes of exposure and result from other sources of environmental contamination. In addition, the consequences of waterborne exposure in a healthy patient population may present as benign symptoms or self-limited illness while the same waterborne exposure in a vulnerable population may result in significant morbidity including chronic and life-threatening disease and even death.
Any future strategic plan to maintain water quality and protect the public's health must include the medical community as critical stakeholders and active participants in this ongoing public health challenge. The primary purpose and educational intent of this Physician On-Line Reference Guide is to address the critical need for practicing clinicians to have access to peer-reviewed educational resources to assist them in the recognition, management and prevention of waterborne disease and the health effects of water pollution resulting from natural, accidental or intentional contamination of water reserves. This Physician On-Line Reference Guide provides free access to more than 450 webpages of clinically relevant information on a "24/7" basis.
Over a five year period, this Physician On-Line Reference Guide has received more than 10 million hits for information from over 350,000 visitors located in 105 countries and 9 regions and territories. More than 425 organizations have highlighted and incorporated this medical website as a waterborne disease medical reference guide and several branches of the US military have utilized this website. In addition, with sponsorship from the American College of Preventive Medicine, a 22-hour online Continuing Medical Education (CME) offering has been developed for review of the content of Recognizing Waterborne Disease and the Health Effects of Water Pollution: A Physician On-Line Reference Guide. American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM) diplomates may also earn lifelong learning Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits by participating in this educational activity. We trust that this on-line medical reference guide will provide you with valuable resources and useful education tools to address waterborne disease and the health effects of water pollution in your patients and in your community.

Some fun off-field spring training moments
I'f you've been reading this here MLBlog for any length of time, you know some of my favorite Mets moments happen off-field. Here's one with John Maine, as he tries to put Kevin Burkhardt out of a job. What I love about this is how much fun both Johnny and Burkie seem to be having:
But also, we must talk about this. I think Keith has done this just for us.
See? Even his forehead has a mustache!
And finally, talk about Citi FIeld photographs! Baseball Fever's Chris Swann posted this link on facebook, and it's breathtaking. You can even see areas of the ballpark you and I will likely never see in person, like the visitor's clubhouse, showers, and so very much more. It's a must-see for any Mets fan or stadium geek. Thanks Chris!

I know if there is ever anything funny/amusing that goes on during a broadcast I can come here and it will be posted. I love the John Maine moment!
Zoe, maybe Keith was attacked by the infamous MLB monobrow: (modeled here by members of the Chicago Cubs)
Julia, 19? Ouch, how I've fallen–I was #1 on the first list. But…well…I spent an off-season doing very little, so I've got to get back on course!🙂
Ha!!! I love the interview video, and I was just thinking about how Keith's head had a mustache too, Mets fans think alike!
LOL about Keith's 'do. Is he still in those commercials with Clyde where they go, "Re-jected?" I don't see them here in CA.
Haha, you mean Just for Men, Jane! He's their biggest spokesmodel, and from what I hear he's contractually obligated to keep his mustache (the one on his face, not his forehead, hair not included) dyed at all times. I haven't seen the commercials lately, but I'm sure they'll be back during the season!🙂
Haha, I saw Maine interview Kevin Burkhart too and loved it! Nice to find someone else that loves stuff like this as much as me.
Also, great shots of Citi Field, I wish that I actually lived in NYC so I could get season tickets, but I'll just have to settle for one or two trips this summer. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to take the virtual tour though!

Operation HERO: Because everyone has a little super hero in them.
Posted on July 11, 2012
RepairLabs New Donation Program works with Diabetes Action Foundation
Fix iPhones and RepairLabs launch our charitable giving donation program today along with our first partner charity organization, the Diabetes Action Research and Education
Foundation. And we couldn't be prouder.
Sitting down with our CEO, Content and Social Media Manager, Webmaster and Head of Design, we hatched a plan. Our goal was to create a program we could empower our customers to give, and educate them on the worthy causes we support. We wanted to create a system where our customers could easily and inexpensively give to good causes. From that meeting we developed Operation HERO: Help Each Repair Overcome. With the help of our customers, we want to overcome diabetes, challenges faced by wounded vets, cruelty to animals, and many other issues that touch our lives.
We decided that the best way to facilitate that was to create a "Donation at Checkout" option. Now our customers can choose to add $1, $5…$20…even $100 to their total to go to an organization that makes a real impact in the world. Additionally we decided to use our social profiles to get out the charities' messages: tweeting, blogging, facebooking their messages out to our audiences and spreading the word to help them reach their goals. We were so excited about this program that we began brainstorming what else we could do. We want to create infographics, videos, buzz and enthusiasm about these great causes.
Now, when "tragedy" strikes and your iPhone, or iPad breaks, you can take that weakness and turn it into a strength, just like the Batman did when he turned his fear of bats into the awesomest super hero persona ever. Ok, well maybe not just like that, but you're still creating a real positive out of a huge bummer. And speaking of super heroes, we plan to include our own little hero in each of our charity pages to encourage everybody to keep clicking and learning about all of our organizations.
The bottom line is that every single dollar helps. Everyone can contribute. Everyone can be a hero. Every dollar goes directly to your charity. And the best part: we will match every donation up to $100, so each donation counts for double. Doubling your gift? That really is a super power.
The Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation.
We are honored to announce our first partner organization. The Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation has been an amazing partner in developing this program, always available, professional and helpful.
This fantastic organization is a top rated cause on CharityNavigator.org. That means that they are committed to using donor funds in the most efficient way possible. $0.96 of every dollar goes directly to their programs, not administrative costs. They also have in place strong policies of accountability and effectiveness and positive impact.
But the real reason that we wanted to work with them is the amazing work that they do. Already they have funded 260 separate research studies to treat, prevent and cure diabetes. They have 20 years of experience in focusing on alternative research and education.
They state their mission as:
"The Diabetes Action Research and Education Foundation (Diabetes Action), a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 1990, is committed to the prevention and treatment of diabetes and to the funding of innovative, promising research aimed at finding a cure for diabetes and diabetes related complications."
They focus on funding research for a cure, research on nutrition, research to prevent and treat diabetes and international medical assistance. Among some of their really exciting programs are a children's diabetes camp scholarship program, and American Indian diabetes prevention program. They also run the Diabetes University, an interactive online educational program for patients. One study that they are currently funding (which we detail here) offers hope for a cure in the use of a drug called BCG, with its role in protecting the pancreas from disease causing T cells.
At RepairLabs, we truly believe we will see a cure in our lifetimes, and we want to help get there. We believe that each time we donate together, we get that much closer to ending this disease.
