Internet reputation management and repair firm, Online Reputation Management, recently helped a Coral Springs resident retain closure after her son was killed in a car crash five years ago.
Coral Springs, Florida — July 15, 2012
Alicia recently turned to Online Reputation Management hoping the Internet reputation management and repair firm could bury her deceased son's online car crash photos and help Alicia retain closure.
Alicia lost her son Alex five years ago when he was driving home from work. A drunk driver rammed into his vehicle, killing Alex on the site. The information about the car crash is considered a public record and so the information quickly became available online. In addition, local newspapers wrote about the car crash and thus Alex's name was mentioned in various articles.
Alicia was tired of re-reading the articles about the car accident and seeing the photos. She turned to Online Reputation Management because she needed closure, she needed her son's accident to remain in the past to allow her to continue living.
"It may sound odd to some that I wanted to bury Alex's past but it hurt me to see how bright his future could have been," said Alicia.
Within a short time, the Online Reputation Management team began working to bury Alex's car accident information. Alex, who was a high school football player, had many local newspapers write articles about his athletic accomplishments. Many of the articles were online, buried beneath the public records and articles about the car accident.
"It was a really sad case, we wanted to help this woman so she could continue living and move past what happened," said Online Reputation Management founder, Ed Eshel.
Online Reputation Management repair specialists worked to change the order of the search results. Since Alex once had several articles written about his athletic endeavors as well as positive photos posted about his football career, his online reputation was relatively positive. The Online Reputation Management team tailored their strategy to focus on burying the public records and news articles by replacing the unfavorable search engine results with informative, accurate information highlighting Alex's positive traits, skills and high school achievements.
"We worked to switch the search engine results so when Alicia would search for her son's name online, she would not be reminded of the accident," Eshel said.
Within several weeks, Online Reputation Management succeeded in helping Alicia retain the closure she so dearly craved.
"Now, thanks to Online Reputation Management, when I search for Alex online, I am reminded by his beautiful, sweet smile," Alicia said.

Controlling our Destiny
Well, it sure would have been nice if the Braves could have beaten the Astros tonight, but the Astros keep hanging around, like a bad summer cold. I hate that we have to send Carpenter to the mound tomorrow but I know he gives us our best chance to win, and there's no sense worrying about the playoffs until you actually get to the playoffs. These past two games have given me some hope that we might actually do something in the playoffs if we do make it. The starting pitching from Weaver and Suppan was solid and there's been some clutch relieving particularly from young Mr. Wainwright. And Preston Wilson sure seems determined to keep the team that cast him aside out of the post-season!

I meant to tell you that I loved the way you used player jersey numbers to count down the magic number. Very cool. Good luck today, I just told 'Stros Bro this is driving everyone crazy! My article about it (explaining all the scenarios) on front of mlb.com right now had me writing several provisional ledes late in that game — maybe the field is set, maybe it's not, etc. I live for this!
Congratulations to the 2006 National League Central Division Champion St. Louis Cardinals!

Baking with Buttermilk
Want to churn out moist, flavorful baked treats that are lower in fat? Add buttermilk to the batter!
Despite its name and thick consistency, buttermilk is not loaded with butter (or fat). The name merely reflects its butter-making beginnings—it was the milky liquid left over after butter was churned.
Buttermilk brings a pleasant tang to cakes, breads, biscuits and other family favorites while adding very little fat. Because this rich-tasting milk is an acidic ingredient, like yogurt and sour cream, it also helps tenderize the gluten in batter, giving baked goods a softer texture and more body. Plus, it helps quick breads rise.
Most buttermilk you find at the grocery store is low-fat and sometimes nonfat. The milk tends to get thicker with time, so remember to shake the carton before using.
Both recipes Parmesan Basil Biscuits (shown above right) and Hearty Brown Quick Bread use 1 percent buttermilk. You're certain to butter up family and friends with these yummy cheese biscuits and hearty brown bread. Try them soon!
Rise to the occasion and serve these light flavorful Parmesan Basil Biscuits the next time you invite guests to dinner. The olive oil, Parmesan cheese and basil make the golden gems so tasty, they don't even need butter! The recipe comes from our Test Kitchen.
"Not only is Hearty Brown Quick Bread high in fiber and low in fat, but it's moist, rich, delicious and filling," assures Susan Lane of Waukesha, Wisconsin. Sweet plump raisins and crunchy pecans make this whole wheat loaf an instant favorite.
Buttermilk Substitution
You're halfway through the recipe and, oh no, you're out of buttermilk. No problem—just mix your own! Here are two easy methods for substitutes for buttermilk:
- Place 1 tablespoon of distilled white vinegar in a glass measuring cup and add 1 percent milk to equal 1 cup. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes until the milk thickens and curdles.
- Or combine 2/3 cup of plain nonfat or low-fat yogurt with 1/2 cup 1 percent milk to yield 1 cup buttermilk.

"The Knicks are back" - Amare
with amare's injury record since last season, lets just presume he will be out again for alot of the games. and this will allow woodson to shift anthony to pf alot and get more playing time for iman/brewer and prigs
i can see
...alot around midseason
lets just pretend for now amare is gonna be a post season player like wallace from now on...
and we have better chemistry when our offense is just anthony
trading amare would be the best case scenario moving forward...gotta cut him loose...
I'd love to see Melo at PF with Smith at SG however hasn't Melo come out and said he doesn't want to play PF? Is that just a PR move because of Amare or does he genuinely not want to?
It would be great if Melo got a lot of time playing PF this season. Miami hasn't bothered to add a C so they are obviously happy to play "small" with Bosh at C and Lebron at PF. We need Melo there to match up with Lebron.
^ yeah but I'm not talking about game 2 I'm talking about in the playoffs. Game 2 is one game, but when we face them in the playoffs we are going to need to match up well against them, and if STAT hasn't learned to defend within the next 6 months we won't match up against them.
PG - Kidd(34)/Prigioni(24)
SG - Brewer(34)/White(12)
SF - Anthony(38)/Novak(20)
PF - Thomas(28)/Copeland(20)
C - Chandler(36)/Camby(18)
This is my dream because I have a bad feeling about Felton, Amar'e and Smith being negative factors for the Knicks.
It doesn't look sexy, but Melo ball would be at it's prime. Melo is surrounded by A level defenders and guys who get rebounds and can play help defense....good passers and athletes. Felton is too mediocre and Smith can win me over, I'm just not over his horrible inconsistency from last year.
Amare has no place on this team.
Start of the season
--------Chandler------- =Bench= ---------Camby-------
Thomas--------Carmelo====== Copeland------Novak-
-----Kidd-----Felton----======--JR Smith--Prigioni-
Middle of the season, when everyone is hopefully healthy
-------Chandler-------- =bench= -------Camby-------
Stoudemire---Anthony ====== Copeland----Novak
Think Prig is too much of a non scoring threat to allow him to play long stretches. He should be in there to keep the offense flowing and to keep up the ball movement bu i think Woody overplayed him tonight.
Finally a coach who knows when to take a timeout. And can actually design a play and execute off of one. Really makes a difference.
It does feel good not to have an inept head coach.

September 26, 2012 —
NEW YORK, NY — A federal judge threw out a lawsuit brought by the NY State Attorney General against the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) and various federal agencies regarding hydraulic fracturing. Schneiderman had argued that the DRBC was compelled to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act in creating a set of rules for fracking in the Delaware River Basin, which would require the completion of an environmental impact statement.
But the judge said the case was premature, because the rules have not yet been put in place, and there is currently a moratorium on fracking in the basin.
U.S. District Court Judge Nicholas Garaufis said, "Plaintiffs appear to believe that, if defendants are not forced to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) now, their interests will be placed at risk immediately. But that is not the case. The courts will be available if and when the DRBC adopts final regulations permitting natural gas development and are more than capable of preliminarily enjoining any development so that no wastewater is created before the courts have evaluated whether the DRBC and the federal defendants are obligated to follow NEPA in this instance."
When the DRBC does issue fracking regulations, the judge said that the court may be called upon to answer whether DRBC is a federal agency and therefore subject to the NEPA.
Lawsuits by Delaware Riverkeeper Network and Damascus Citizens for Sustainability had been consolidated into this case.

- Brackertz, Nicola
- Abstract
- This report is part of a series of case study reports for the Community Consultation and the Hard to Reach research project. The project is investigating how community consultation is currently practised by Victorian councils, especially in relation to multiple publics and groups that councils can find hard to reach. The Hard to Reach project is a collaborative research venture, with eight Victorian local councils, the Victorian Local Governance Association, and researchers from Swinburne University. The three year project is jointly funded by the Australian Research Council and the Cities of Boroondara, Darebin, Maribyrnong, Melbourne, Moreland, Nillumbik, Port Phillip and Whittlesea. The eight participating councils comprise inner city as well as city fringe locations, homogenous and highly ethnically and culturally diverse populations, economically advantaged and disadvantaged areas, well established and newly developing areas, municipalities with a longstanding commitment to community consultation as well as those which are still developing their policies and practices. While the councils chosen may not be statistically representative, the range of contexts and sociodemographic characteristics reflect the attitudes and practice of community consultation as it is currently taking place in Victoria.

I feel kind of silly asking about this with a 3 month old baby, but here we go anyways.
So, DS is outgrowing his rooting reflex and I've really been struggling to know when he's hungry! He chews on his hands 90% of the time so that's not a very good indicator.
In the meantime, I've been feeding him every 2.5 hours or so, unless he's asleep, and then right when he wakes up. But since he'll always willingly latch on I don't have a sense of whether the timing is right. And I don't want to encourage him to "snack" rather than having a full meal, to make sure he gets the hindmilk and drains the breast fully.
He's definitely getting enough to eat, I'm just hoping for some pointers as we fine-tune our routine. Thanks!!

text: So my 4 month old has a lot of mucus in his poo. This has been going on for about 3 1/2 wks. He's almost 15 lbs. Was 6 lbs. 4 oz. at birth. The week before the mucus arrived he didn't poo once. I was gettin a little worried, but knew this happens around his age. Now he goes 6+ a day. His norm for a while was down to 2 a day sometimes every couple of days. Never went a full wk w/out. And it's soo runny. Not like before. It's still seedy. Was brown for a while, but is back to mustard color. I am going through tons of diapers. We had his 4 mo. check up and ped said this was fine, although I forgot to mention the mucus. Just the # and the runs. He also has been more irritable. Not a lot, but noticable. He drools a lot too and maybe the mucus is from that??? But what about the runs? It's like this everday. Should I be alarmed? Ped wasn't. She thought it was too early for teething. He also doesn't sleep through the night, but never has. Wakes 3x to feed between 7:30p and 7am. Did I forget anything? Oh, he all of a sudden has become a goofy eater. He's strictly BF, but bobs on and off the whole time. He used to only do this when he was finished. Like he was playing with his food. LOL. And I have OS/OALD. Sorry so long. Trying to be specific. :o

El Bosquejo meets the winnersMore than 24 hours have passed since I left New York, and the three days that I was there still seem a furious blur of colors, people, and places.
Sorting them out, one of the things I most remember are the short but intimate conversations with the winners. I was able to snatch a few quiet moments with some of them between their media interviews and photoshoots.
Lorenzo, aka "Plastic is Fantastic", who hails from Turin and now lives in Rome, was one of my early favorites. Meeting him personally did nothing to disappoint my perception of him. Of course, my first question was why the name? He said he wanted to be as flexible as the material, to become whatever he wanted to be – or all of them at the same time – in all the colors, forms, and shapes that he deems suitable for the moment.
After Lorenzo I chatted with Abdou, a fellow Italian who has heritage from Senegal. A little more serious than Lorenzo, he said he wants to save his earnings from fashion and advertising so he could study law and come back to Senegal to help his country. Though he was not as fluent in English as Lorenzo, I saw in his eyes how passionate he was about his endeavors.
Another duo I was able to interview were Tereza aka Prage Girl and Natalchou, both living in the Czech Republic. (People often mistook Tereza for Patricia, especially since the two were always together – and were in fact friends already before the end of the competition.) Carefree and charming, Prague Girl does illustration, with works as kooky as her own personality. Natalchou, who was originally from Kazakhstan, also loves art, in the form of painting. She said her friends call her Natalchou to make her original name sound more Czech. She is a surprising mix of things: half-Ukrainian and half-Russian, from Kazakhstan, living in the Czech Republic, and now wanting to learn German (her boyfriend is German) and Italian, and maybe even live in another country!
A native of the US, Janelle is as volatile and unpredictable as mercury – gangster, street, preppy: you name it. Suits her well, as she is a true lover of fashion, with its fast pace and ever-changing trends. Like Abdou, she is also in the industry, but in merchandising, and dreams of being a buyer for one of the big boutiques. She is definitely one to watch. Who knows in what form we'll encounter her next?
Elizabeth, who lives in Hong Kong but spent much time in Bangkok, told me that all this came as a wonderful surprise, and now she looks forward to the things that she would be enabled to do because of the opportunity Benetton gave her.
The same goes for Kiko, a fellow Filipino, who told me that it was only after years of soul searching that he found who he was, and it was this realization that enabled him to join the Survivor reality contest and Benetton's IT'S MY TIME casting campaign. Can you imagine him in preppy threads and working in a corporation? He told me that's what he was doing before he had dreads.
I was also lucky to have met the highly spirited and multifaceted Melanie, who at first sight – just by the way she moved and carried herself – confirmed my suspicion that dancing was a major part of her life. She told me that she not only performs various dance genres, she also teaches her moves to amateurs. Lucky for those who can feel the warmth of her beauty and personality like the rays from the sun.
Soraya is another multitalented winner, who like Melanie (whose dad is African-American and mom is Swiss) benefits from a rich mix of influences. She herself says she has a strong passion for fashion. But as she dreams to become as big as Tyra Banks, she is already doing her own unique bit. She told me that every time she comes back from Ghana (she is half-Ghanaian and half-Jamaican) to London, she takes with her indigenous African fabrics that she then gets tailored into contemporary pieces. And she does this over and above her studies in accounting! Wicked indeed, and not so much a balancing act, but getting the best of many worlds.
Quiet and composed Magali was another surprise. Her dad is a Frenchman born in Morocco and her mom is Vietnamese, but Magali was born in Canada and now lives in Paris. Seems complicated, but I found that it was that rich mix of cultures that influenced her sensibilities. Under her subtle beauty, I found an artistic soul passionate about things – about the colors and textures that go into her textile designs and the soft and restrained music by her favorite pianists. She has a strong French aesthetic made even more subtle by the spirituality of her Asian roots.

I'm feeling a bit more productive on the personal front, as of late. Work has been keeping me quite busy between three different contracts, but it's pretty awesome that I'm fortunate enough to HAVE 3 different contracts paying the bills. We'll see what happens come February 2011, but things have a way of working themselves out.

Clovis Community College will be raising student fees next semester, but not tuition, according to President Becky Rowley.
Debbie Zurzolo, CCC's chief financial officer, said a student facility use fee of $10 per credit hour will help pay for debts on capital outlay projects.
The Board of Trustees passed the increase Tuesday in an effort to balance $25 million in expected revenues with $25.5 million in projected expenditures for fiscal year 2012-2013.
More than 1,600 CCC students enrolled full-time will see fees jump from $20 per semester to $140, increasing the schools revenues from fees by an estimated $500,000 next year.
Rowley said the school is facing increased budget expenditures due to expiring federal Title V funding and Higher Education Department nursing grants, which total $250,000.
In addition, the state of New Mexico is requiring CCC to pay an estimated $140,000 in expenditures for employee benefits, Zurzolo said. The benefits were covered by the state last year, during rough economic times, but the college will resume responsibility in June.
Zurzolo said property and liability insurance on CCC's newly completed Allied Health Center Phase II will add another $30,000 to the annual budget.
The new building includes labs and offices for EMTs, radiology technicians and nurses, Rowley said.
The good news is the state of New Mexico increased appropriations to the college by $322,000 this year, Zurzolo said.
The budget proposal also included a $500,000 grant from a private donor for the Petty Performing Arts Center project. CCC is renovating the old Mesa Theater at 206 Main Street for school and public use, Rowley said.
Another boost to the budget will come from book sales commissions generated by Barnes and Noble College, the company that took over operation of CCC's bookstore in April.
Rowley said CCC will be able to absorb the costs incurred by the expiring grants and keep its budget within the guidelines of the Higher Education Department.
Other business:
- Connie Connelly was reappointed to the CCC Labor Management Resolution Board, where she has served since May 2010, with Rick Switzer and Mark Carpenter.
- Three CCC staff were recognized as recipients of the National Institute of Staff and Organizational Development's excellence award: Carl Armstrong, adjunct instructor in physics; Brad Heath, instructor in health and physical education; and Monica Sanchez, instructor in business administration.

Beneath William Crutchfield's whimsical subject matter and exquisite draftsmanship often lies a satirical commentary on humanity. The San Pedro–based artist uses a variety of media—sculpture, painting and prints—to harness his imagination, but he considers drawing the fundamental core to all of these pursuits. This emphasis on drawing was a natural fit for printmaking, and Crutchfield worked at both Gemini and Tamarind, beginning in the 1960s. Air Land Sea, a suite of 13 lithographs, was completed during his second visit as a guest artist at Tamarind (his first visit in 1963 yielded only one print, but he had since made two important series at Gemini in 1966). In the portfolio, Crutchfield employed his characteristic style by using tusche applied with a pen to create the inventive subject matter. The artist then had the printer apply various colors of ink to one roller to create the blended effect of the palette. Crutchfield's interest in the relationship between man and machine was particularly suited to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's significant but controversial Art and Technology exhibition, held in 1971; Crutchfield produced its screenprinted poster and several illustrations for the catalogue.

State to share info on wildlife violators
MONTPELIER — A hunter whose license is suspended in Vermont can no longer hunt in 38 other states.
The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Monday that it's joining those other states in sharing information about hunting and fishing license suspensions to deter people from violating hunting, fishing and trapping laws elsewhere.
Under the Interstate Wildlife Violator Compact, any person whose license privileges are suspended in one compact member state will have his or her licenses suspended in all other states that belong to the compact.
Vermont chief game warden, Col. David LeCours, said Monday that the compact is an added deterrent for Vermonters who might be tempted to violate fish and wildlife laws at home and then expect to hunt, fish or trap in other states.
"Also, we didn't want Vermont to be one of the last states where bad actors from other states can come to violate our fish and wildlife laws," LeCours said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Made in Michigan band aims high with debut album
Brent James & the Contraband perform in TC and Petoskey this week on their way to the big time.
It was just two years ago this weekend that musicians from all over Northern Michigan were gathering at Union Street Station to jam. The reason was a benefit for fellow musician Jason Kott.
In late July of 2009, Kott, who was 34 at the time and a popular bass player and musician on the Northern Michigan scene, was headed home to Traverse City from Petoskey the day after a gig when another car turned head on into him. The accident was serious, breaking his ankle, eight ribs and two vertebrae.
Lucky just to survive, Kott, a full time professional musician, was forced to cancel a full slate of paying gigs for the rest of the year. In addition to his solo work Kott was a member of Brent James and The Contraband and they were scheduled to go into the studio.
"We had been working so hard to get our big break and then I break myself up and there was no way I was going to let this opportunity pass by," said Kott. "I toughed it out and was far from being healed and went to Nashville to record the record."'
The fruits of that labor have paid off as their debut album "Moments of Silence" was released to stores and itunes two weeks ago and their first single, the title track of the CD, hit radio stations this week.
Now Kott will retrace his travels from two years ago as Brent James and The Contraband will perform Thursday and Friday night at Union Street Station in Traverse City. On Saturday they will headline the Festival by the Bay in Petoskey.
"I am not sure they will let me drive the van," said Kott. "We are excited about coming home as we have been out touring with Alice Cooper and we did all the west coast dates with Ted Nugent earlier this summer."
Kott grew up in Traverse City where he was active in music at TC Senior High School. After graduating in 1993 he headed off to Albion where he majored in classical voice. He returned to Traverse City where he has spent the past 14 years performing solo and as part of several bands from Dawn Campbell to Ron Getz and even a stint with The Bihlman Bros., among others.
"I am still doing the occasional solo gig around here but I have now put all my eggs in this basket," said Kott. "And for good reason, Brent is an exceptional singer and guitar player plus we have Mike P on guitars and Matt Hayes who is also from Traverse City on drums and both of those guys are awesome."
Brent James and The Contraband are made in Michigan and proud of it.
"Well I am basically living out of the back of my van right now," said James. "We are all from Michigan and right now I live in Cincinnati because my wife has a real good job there and it is close to Nashville, but we consider ourselves a Michigan band and we plan to represent this state well out there in rock and roll land."
There has been early praise from critics for "Moments of Silence" and the band contributes that to the team they have in place.
"It is all about having a good team working with you. The best bands in the world have fallen apart because of poor management or other aspects of their team not being top notch. We have prided ourselves in putting together a quality team," said James. "What this also does is enable us as the artist to focus on our jobs of creating and performing the music and not worrying about management, PR or business issues." Kott agrees.
"It also helps that as a band we all get along with each other," said Kott. "I think by having professionals in place at every aspect of our operation that has eliminated most of the stress for us, and makes it easier to get along and focus our creativity on the music."
One of those key team members is Skidd Mills, their producer. Mills is a fixture on the Nashville scene and has won several Grammy's most recently for producing and co-writing the Saving Abel smash hit "Addicted." "There is no question having Skidd in our camp is major. So many people have listened to our stuff that might not have otherwise," said James. "People assume if Skidd is involved that it is going to be good, bottom line is Skidd gives our band legitimacy in the eyes of the music industry. We had so many label offers and we turned them down because they didn't feel right but when we sat down with Skidd we knew being with his label was home for us."
Looks like some more good ol' boys from Northern Michigan (okay James and Mike P are from the Saginaw area but they are adopted Northern Michiganders) are going to make the big time.
Catch Brent James and The Contraband August 18 & 19 at Union Street Station in Traverse City and Saturday August 20 at the Festival by the Bay in Petoskey. Listen to samples of their new album on iTunes; info: www.brentjamesmusic.com

Sitta carolinensis
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Jim Paris
A common feeder bird with clean black, gray, and white markings, White-breasted Nuthatches are active, agile little birds with an appetite for insects and large, meaty seeds. They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to "hatch" out the seed from the inside. White-breasted Nuthatches may be small but their voices are loud, and often their insistent nasal yammering will lead you right to them.
The largest nuthatch, this is still a small bird with a large head and almost no neck. The tail is very short, and the long, narrow bill is straight or slightly upturned.
White-breasted Nuthatches are gray-blue on the back, with a frosty white face and underparts. The black or gray cap and neck frame the face and make it look like this bird is wearing a hood. The lower belly and under the tail are often chestnut.
White-breasted Nuthatches are agile birds that creep along trunks and large branches, probing into bark furrows with their straight, pointed bills. Like other nuthatches, they often turn sideways and upside down on vertical surfaces as they forage. They don't lean against their tails the way woodpeckers do.
White-breasted Nuthatches are birds of mature woods and woodland edges. They're particularly associated with deciduous stands, including maple, hickory, basswood, and oak, though they can be found in some coniferous forests.
White-breasted Nuthatches are the largest North American nuthatch, and the only one with clear white on the face all the way around the eye. Brown Creepers move along tree trunks like nuthatches, but they're brown instead of gray, with a much longer tail. White-breasted Nuthatches have shorter tails and longer, more pointed bills than chickadees or titmice.
White-breasted Nuthatches are common feeder birds. You can attract them by offering large nuts such as sunflower and peanuts, and by putting out suet. Find out more about what this bird likes to eat and what feeder is best by using the Project FeederWatch Common Feeder Birds bird list.
Consider putting up a nest box to attract a breeding pair. Make sure you put it up well before breeding season. Attach a guard to keep predators from raiding eggs and young. Find out more about nest boxes on our Attract Birds pages. You'll find plans for building a nest box of the appropriate size on our All About Birdhouses site.
Look for White-breasted Nuthatches along the main branches of large deciduous trees. They'll likely be moving quickly at odd angles to the vertical. In winter you can find them in small flocks of chickadees and titmice; if you see one in a flock keep your eyes out, as there's a good chance the bird's mate is in the flock as well.

CRISFIELD, MD - Move over Capt. Willie and Chopper 16, you've got company in the skies over Delmarva.
The University of Maryland Eastern Shore entertained the crowd at the 2010 J. Millard Tawes' seafood festival with a powered paraglider suspending a banner underneath promoting the school's growing programs in engineering and aviation sciences.
It's a sign of things to come from the Maryland Hawk Corporation, UMES' research and economic development initiative that collaborates with local companies aiming to create high-tech jobs for the Eastern Shore.
One such project is designing and building the next generation of lightweight aircraft that resemble an extreme dune buggy powered by a small motor and huge propeller – all kept aloft by a parachute. Entrepreneurs working with UMES researchers and students are looking for ways to make paragliders stronger and lighter.
"We are expecting that in the near future, Engineering and Aviation Science students at UMES will have opportunities to participate in future design, training, operation, and instruction of these aircraft," UMES President Thelma B. Thompson said.
Festival-goers at the Tawes' event put down their crab mallets to watch an aerial show by Capt. Hank Austin that provided a respite from the politicking. Conversations stopped and cell phones were aimed skyward to snap photos of Austin as he methodically circled downtown Crisfield.
Entrepreneurs see powered paragliders having broad appeal. Ron G. Forsythe Jr., UMES' vice president for technology and commercialization, said future applications might include commercial clients, public safety, emergency management, homeland security, military, tourism and outdoor sporting adventures.
"UMES has demonstrated for years that it knows how to turn capital investments into high-tech jobs," Forsythe said. "That is why the Governor and the Legislators are investing in the new Engineering and Aviation Sciences building at UMES."
UMES is focused, Forsythe said, on "helping companies create technology-based jobs in the region and is now building the support structures for students to spin off new high-tech businesses locally."
Partnerships between the UMES Rural Development Center's Revolving Loan Fund, the U.S. Commerce and Agriculture departments and Maryland's Department of Business and Economic Development have enabled the university to invest in such technology firms as Hardwire, NavTrak, Harvard Custom Manufacturing, BelArt, AviHome and Matech.
Matech, a Salisbury-based design and engineering company, is working with Austin and Robert Nolan of Innovative Flight Solutions, Inc. of Virginia Beach, Va., to establish a satellite office on the Lower Shore to manufacture the kind of flying machine that dazzled seafood lovers in Crisfield.
Manned and un-manned paragliders – also known as powerchutes – have the ability to stay aloft for over 22 hours with speeds ranging from 22-to-73 knots, Nolan said. In a ground mode, speeds of over 80 miles per hour are possible, he said.
UMES' technology-based incubator has lots of ideas in the works, Forsythe said. "You haven't seen anything yet," he said. "Just wait until you see the companies and projects that we have in the pipeline."

Amount of Eldred embezzlement still a mystery; Teachers offered buy-outs
January 16, 2013 —
None of the missing funds with which former Eldred Central School District Business Administrator William Thornton allegedly absconded has been recovered to date. Superintendent Robert Dufour's only reference to the matter at the school board meeting on January 10 was that he was grateful to the New York State Police for all that they did in bringing out the improprieties alleged against the embattled Thornton.
"In Eldred, it's the state police that handle a matter of this kind," said Doug Reiser, school board president.
Taxpayers can expect to pay $6,000 for an audit into just how much money may have been pilfered by Thornton.
Thornton, whose salary topped $86,000, or 73% higher than the state average, resigned in November for alleged financial improprieties. He has served in the position since July 2010, but held various other positions within the school district in an approximate tenure of 10 years.
The board did break for executive session to discuss legal matters, but because of the nature of executive sessions it was unclear if the Thornton case was at issue.
On the superintendent's webpage on the school's internet site, Dufour said that the dollar amount of missing funds would be determined by the January 10 board meeting, but Reiser said on January 11, "That's still not a matter of public knowledge."
"The missing money damages the district," Reiser told The River Reporter, "but the job of the board is to address the educational needs of the students," he said.
Thornton could not be reached for comment.
The board announced it is offering incentives to teachers eligible to retire in order to help the district's bottom line. "We've never offered this before" Dufour said, "but the financial savings and the savings in health care will be beneficial."
Dufour continued, "We have to reduce our budget; this is one way of doing it, because the teachers coming in will be doing so on a different salary."
There are at least five teachers who are considering this proposal. If all five took advantage of the offer, it would mean a savings of $60,000 would be "built into the budget."
At least one board member was apprehensive about such a buy-out. Linda Bohs said, "'I'm not so sure I'm in favor of it." But in speaking on the matter, another member, Carol Bliefernich, said, "In this fiscal economy, we have to do everything in our power to lower our costs."
"There's a possibility that no one will take it," said Dufour. Teachers who plan to take it must file by March 29.

Hi! SO: Everything is going great with my ds who is now 9 months--we're still going strong. My good friend is due to give birth any day now, with her second daughter. She stopped breastfeeding her now 3-year-old when she was about 2.5 weeks because she said it was extremely painful and I don't think she had too much support. She was also trying to pump which she said took too long--I told her to nix the pumping for the first few months if possible because it'll interfere with her milk production.
I was just wondering if you guys have any tips to make the whole process a little more comfortable for her--I'm going to tell her all I have to offer, but I was just sore and also have small breasts and had no engorgement or cracked nipples or anything like that. Are there remedies/tricks that anyone can offer? My friend has REALLY huge breasts (in fact, I'm having a hard time imagining them being any bigger than they are now!)
Thank you so much--I hope to offer a little wisdom and support to really help her do this.

As I understood they had been given 84 days to pay the remaining �194K that they owe, roughly �2,300 per day. I think that will be preety tough going during the off-season.

Sorry Bob but i just don't see the problem if a topic develops into something broader, after all haven't you had discussions or debates among friends that often start on one topic but grow into something far more extensive. The threat at the end of your post was totally uncalled for and smacks of big brother.
Posted 06 November 2009 - 12:56 PM
I'm not being a Jobsworth at all if a thread has a title then members look at that and expect to be able to debate points. What have problems at Wakefield got to do with exodus at Gateshead ? None ! I accept that the inital thread is in good faith and that it is right for members to debate any rugby league problems which are in the public domain All I ask is that they are catagorised properly so that members can join in any debate. Name calling doesn't bother me at all so long as it is your own thoughts, however, without moderation we have anarchy, which is worse ?
Posted 06 November 2009 - 01:01 PM
I refer you to my answer above and respect your feelings about the subject, but perhaps sometimes things do go at a tangent, but the relevence to teh initial heading is negligible. As for Big Brother, NO I believe in free speech, I didn't close , lock or move the thread, I just asked for people to start another thread debating that particular subject, I ahve no objections at all to a debate on a differing subject.

I agree about your comments about Wakefield!!!! Hmmm wonder if they will ask to share our ground to save some cash �����......!!!
Posted 06 November 2009 - 07:45 PM
As I said I totally respect your point of view on this and I can understand where you are coming from. I agree that we should moderate on the points you raise, however, it is because points have been raised by a member of the forum that I looked at the postings. I do accept that postings can deviate, bit in this case the deviation, in MY opinion meant that the heading no longer justified the postings or even the other way round.
People who know me know I'm not a jobsworth, I love our club and I applaud our fans at every game. I appreciate the intelligent and not so intelligent postings on the forum which makes the moderating job straight forward.
At least you and others have made your points and I fully accept that and will perhaps try to seem less beligerent in future.
Posted 06 November 2009 - 08:02 PM
Seems to me Bob that it is not about moderation but excess. Otherwise neither club would be in trouble.

Thanks Mick, I took the job as a moderator on, not to thwart free speech, but to make it fair to all. I have taken no offence at having members disagree, that's democracy and a person's right to free thinking. So long as it doesn't get too personal I don't mind. After all you can call me anything.... except late for dinner

As the old saying goes Bob. "They can call me all they want, as long as they keep their hands off".

text: for 4 months I've struggled with over supply, then under supply issues. I'm in an under supply stage - the worst, yet. Last night I had to supplement with a bottle for the first time. Today I pumped half of what I pumped yesterday at work. I'm not sure what to link it to. I think I've started ovulating, but already had my cycle pass last week. It's not a plugged duct or mastitis (we've been through that, also). Can milk just drastically decrease after 17 weeks of nursing? What should I do?

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett wants Republican Gov. Scott Walker to explain why he was allowed to create a defense fund in connection with a secret probe into his associates.
Barrett, a Democrat, is challenging Walker in a June 5 recall election. He sent the governor a letter Tuesday demanding Walker explain what's going on.
The investigation has centered on people who worked for Walker during his stint as Milwaukee County executive. Five people have been charged; allegations range from campaigning on county time to embezzlement.
The governor hasn't been charged and has said he isn't the focus of the probe. However, he has set up a legal defense fund -- a move allowed only for officeholders who have been charged or are under investigation for election or campaign violations.

Product Information
Torch After-Burn
Optimizing your workout means more than just powering through a few more reps, running an extra mile or signing up for one more aerobics class. Your physical performance depends on the strength and proper function of your muscles, your energy levels and the ability of your body to recover after workouts, and science is instrumental in determining and optimizing those factors. Torch After-Burn is for anyone who has physically exerted themselves and needs to restore electrolytes lost and give their body the protein boost it needs. Torch After-Burn is formulated to increase muscle cell hydration, stimulate muscle growth, help reduce muscle soreness, and provide the body with a cardiovascular defense and energy boost.
*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product(s) is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
- Antioxidant defense
- Helps increase lean muscle mass
- Inhibits the breakdown of proteins within the muscles during intensive exercise (this may inhibit catabolism)
- Supports muscle recovery
- Promotes muscle growth by increasing muscle cell hydration
- Provides minerals to support recovery of muscle tissue
- Replenishes fluids and electrolytes lost during exercise
- Replenishes muscle glycogen after workouts
- Promotes muscle growth (by stimulating protein synthesis in muscles)
It's no secret that post workout nutrition is a critical factor in increasing athletic performance. Including a post workout supplement in your routine is important, but choosing the correct product can be a difficult decision.
A post workout supplement should help restore lost electrolytes and provide the body with a protein boost. Most supplements on the market can make these claims but Torch After-Burn surpasses the competition with its special formulation designed to increase muscle cell hydration, stimulate muscle growth, help reduce muscle soreness, and provide the body with cardiovascular defense. *
Take your training to the next level with Torch After Burn.
Whey Protein
Whey protein is a naturally complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids required in the daily diet. It has the ideal combination of amino acids to help improve body composition and enhance athletic performance. Whey protein has been shown to increase muscle mass and muscle strength and improve training efficiency in athletes. Whey protein is an excellent source of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs); these basic building blocks, including leucine, isoleucine and valine, are particularly conductive to muscle growth and regeneration as they promote healthy protein synthesis in human muscle. BCAAs are important for athletes, because unlike the other essential amino acids, they are metabolized directly into muscle tissue and are the first ones used during periods of exercise and resistance training.
Casein Protein
Casein will slowly release amino acids into the blood stream as it is being digested, possibly over a full seven hours. This time release of amino acids promotes a very favorable anti-catabolic state (protecting muscle tissue from breaking down). Theoretically whey is a better protein for muscle anabolism, however, studies have shown that the fast influx of aminos from whey cause a high anabolic response very fast (muscle building) with no anti-catabolic properties. Combining both whey and casein in a sensible ratio provides the positive benefits from both of these proteins.
Vitamin C
Prolonged or strenuous exercising can overexert the body's ability to neutralize the reactive oxygen species created. These pro-oxidants damage cell structure and cause oxidative stress. Supplementation with antioxidant, vitamin C, has been shown to inhibit the exercise-induced increase in the rate of lipid peroxidation. A recent study at the University of Oregon, Corvallis, and found vitamin C inhibited endurance exercise-induced lipid peroxidation in ultra-marathon runners.
Vitamin C is involved in a number of biochemical pathways that are important to exercise metabolism and the health of exercising individuals. A placebo-controlled study found vitamin C supplementation increased erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes during competition, while athletes given placebo experienced increases in uric acid and lactate dehydrogenase. The researchers concluded that vitamin C supplementation defends against oxidative stress.
B-vitamins include thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), folate, pyridoxine (B6) and cyanocobalamin (B12). These vitamins are essential for breaking down carbohydrates into glucose (providing energy for the body); breaking down fats and proteins (aids in normal nervous system function); and maintaining muscle tone. Requirements for B-vitamins are increased due to stress on metabolic pathways and increase in metabolism.

How does Torch After-Burn help me with my workout recovery?
Branched chain amino acids (L-valine, L-leucine and L-isoleucine) are used by muscles during strenuous exercise to provide energy and must be replenished after exercise to facilitate skeletal-muscle growth and repair. These amino acids are contained in our formulation. Also, amino acids from proteins have a sparing effect on liver glycogen, which helps to replenish depleted muscle glycogen post-workout.*
Can I take the Torch After-Burn immediately after a workout or do I need to wait, and, if so, how long?
Torch After-Burn was designed to be taken immediately following competition, exercise or intense physical activity to aid the recovery process. It contains high-quality protein, which promotes muscle repair and comfort post-workout.*
What are the age limitations to taking Torch Products?
Torch products are recommended for any adult 18 years or older.

I've been taking this product both vanilla and chocolate flavors and I can't say enough about it. I love the taste, and the protein I got from it. I work out 4, 5 even 7 times per/wk. because I have the energy I gained from it. It's also the best product I ever taken that ease out all your pains. This is by far the best protein shake in the market. It mixed well with a shaker, so get yourself a shaker & you ready to rock! Enjoy!

Join Us and Explore Hidden Yellowstone!
The Yellowstone Park Foundation invites our supporters to join us for some fun summer day trips to explore lesser-known wonders of Yellowstone.
Visit behind the scenes at the Heritage & Research Center (HRC)
Date: Wednesday, July 17, 10 a.m. to noon
There are countless treasures in the HRC that the average visitor may be unaware of. Join YPF staff and tour the HRC with NPS curators. We will go behind the scenes and see unique, historical items from Yellowstone's rich history. These items will touch on several categories such as natural treasures, paintings/sketches, books, and the archives. We will also walk over to the vehicle storage area for an inside look at the antique vehicle collection.
There will be an informal lunch together in Gardiner for those interested. (Bring your lunch or stop at the deli in Gardiner.)
The HRC is located in Gardiner, MT, on the Old Yellowstone Trail. Once you arrive in Gardiner, go over the Yellowstone River to Park Street. Turn west on Park St. and go to the end as if you were going to drive through the arch. Instead of going through the arch, stay right and go down to the high school area; the HRC is behind the high school.
For those who would like to extend the day, here are some suggested nearby hikes:
Date: Thursday, Aug. 1, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
At YPF's request, an interpretive ranger will guide us on this lovely hike along the DeLacy Creek trail through forest and meadows. We will go south 3 miles to the shore of Shoshone Lake, the Park's largest backcountry lake. Our guide will bring together history, ecology, geology and other interesting details that many hikers may not know.
Meet at the DeLacy Creek trailhead sign at 10 a.m. The trailhead is 8.2 miles south of Old Faithful. Allow an hour to get there from West Yellowstone, 2 hours from Big Sky and a total of 3 hours from Bozeman.
Distance: 6.1 miles round trip
Please bring your own lunch and plenty of water, sturdy hiking books or shoes and other appropriate gear (bear spray, sun hat, sunscreen, bug spray, etc.)
After hike option: Drive to Old Faithful area and view an eruption from the upper deck of Old Faithful Inn.
If you are interested in reserving one of the 12 - 16 spots for either of these fun and interesting day trips, please call Sarah DeOpsomer, events manager, at the Yellowstone Park Foundation to reserve a place: 406.586.6303, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Number of Minnesota traffic deaths rose in 2012
The number of people who died in Minnesota traffic crashes rose in 2012 after five years of improving numbers.
The Department of Public Safety says preliminary reports show 378 people died across the state last year. That's up from 368 traffic deaths in 2011.
The department's Office of Traffic Safety says the 2012 number could approach 400 after additional crash reports are submitted.
A St. Cloud Times report says possible factors in the increase include drunken or distracted drivers, as well as people not wearing seat belts.
The fatalities include 53 motorcyclist deaths, a 25 percent increase. Traffic officials say that could have been due to a warm winter that led to faster, unsafe speeds.
Drunken-driving crashes accounted for more than one-third of Minnesota's traffic fatalities.

Headlines (Campus Updates)
Laurier chef featured on the Food Network's Chopped Canada
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Mar 26/14
Sherry Gallinger has faced many challenges in her culinary career. But making an entrée in 30 minutes that must include eel and cattail? That was a new one.
Gallinger, the executive chef at the Terrace Food Court on Lauriers Waterloo campus, was featured in the March 20 episode of the Food Networks Chopped Canada. The show features four chefs who compete for a $10,000 prize by preparing three courses with mandatory and unconventional ingredients. A panel of judges critiques each course and then decides which competitor will be eliminated or chopped.
Gallinger made it through the appetizer round, combining the mandatory ingredients of kaffir lime, shredded-wheat squares, red cabbage and smelts to make a dish of kaffir-braised cabbage with shredded wheat-crusted smelts. However, she was eliminated after the entrée round, in which she used the required celery hearts, kumato tomatoes, eel and pickled cattail (a wheat-like plant) to make chowder.
You just think, What in the world am I going to do with this? said Gallinger of seeing the required ingredients for the first time. I mean, I never even fathomed cattail would be a product. But you have to use the ingredients, and above all, the dish has to taste good.
The offbeat ingredients and three other chefs werent the only things Gallinger was competing against. Chopped gives the contestants just 20 minutes to prepare an appetizer and 30 minutes to prepare an entrée; and the clock starts right after the chefs see the ingredients for the first time.
It seems like seconds. Theres definitely a moment where you just have no idea what youre going to do. said Gallinger. Youre running around, youre in a panicked state, and youre just thinking, How can I make this taste good?
While cooking with cameras in her face was something new to Gallinger, shes certainly no stranger to working in a high-stress environment.
Gallingers cooking career has taken her to kitchens in Australia, New Zealand and Italy, and to major hotel chains across Canada. Since arriving at Laurier five years ago, her job has run the gambit from ensuring kitchen standards are being followed, to managing the Terraces product and budget, and incorporating healthier, more local food options at outlets on campus such as the Union Market kiosk.
However, Gallinger doesnt always get the same credit as some of her peers.
Theres a perception that someone who works in a food court isnt really a chef, but I would beg to differ completely, she said. Ive worked on lines with chefs who wouldnt be able to keep up with the pace here. Its all the same work as any other chef, but not the same glory as working in a high-end restaurant.
And while dispelling that misconception of food-court chefs wasnt the only reason Gallinger applied to be on Chopped Canada, she did use her appearance on the show to prove a thing or two.
The most challenging part is just overcoming that initial fear that youre not going to make it, she said. But I think I showed Canada Im a decent chef and Ive got decent skills. Plus Ive been told Im pretty entertaining to watch.
