Health and Environmental Effects Profile for Benzo(k)FLUORANTHENE
The report was prepared to support listings of hazardous constituents of a wide range of waste streams and to provide health-related limits for emergency actions. Published literature and information obtained from EPA program office files were evaluated as they pertained to potential human health, aquatic life and environmental effects of hazardous waste constituents. Quantitative estimates have been presented, provided sufficient data are available. Existing data are insufficient to determine a Reference Dose or a carcinogenic potency factor for benzo(k)fluoranthrene. Data to determine the Reportable Quantity (RQ) value, based on chronic toxicity, are insufficient.

Boyfriend, we still love you
Yes, readers, we are all still deeply infatuated with the boyfriend. The boyfriend jacket, that is, also known as the blazer and occasionally as a tuxedo when it has a roll collar in place of revers. Last year, it was the hottest jacket shape on and off the catwalk, and this year the boyfriend is still strutting its stuff in the high street and all the leading stores.
There is some mild competition from the Chanel-esque, edge-to-edge jacket, the summer-weight biker jacket and the fresh, kimono-esque collarless, wrap jacket with its bow-tying fabric belt, as seen on the 2010 runway at YSL and on the high street this season at H&M, Banana Republic and Zara. But there is little doubt that the boyfriend will triumph because he - sorry, it, I was getting carried awaywith the metaphor - is so versatile, working perfectly over a dress, skirt or tailored trousers for work, and over jeans, shorts or a maxi dress at weekends.
Nothing, of course, stays the same from one season to the next on Planet Fashion and there are some subtle (and not-so-subtle) changes which differentiate this year's blazer from 2010's.
Many are oversized and slouchy, with a distinctly 1980s feel, while others are skinny and shrunken, sometimes nipping in sharply at the waist, often done in jersey or other stretchy fabric, at River Island and by Alexander Wang in his diffusion T collection at Browns. Other mutations include the deconstructed boyfriend which has had its arms lopped off. Feeding into the 70s vibe, the sleeveless blazer can be worn with bare arms or - more likely in this climate - over long sleeves, teamed with a mid-calf skirt or wide-leg trousers.
Another new twist is a stand-up collar, done in a sassy stripe at Banana Republic and in quintessentially Jil Sander neutrals and a smudgy green in her new +J collection for Uniqlo.
If you want a more classic version, Reiss has a sublime crop, in double- and single-breasted versions, in ultra-flattering neutrals. M&S has unexpectedly stylish ones, too, including a striped baby and a contrast-edge version in grey. At Fenwick W1, the blazers for spring are in softer, more relaxed shapes, including a navy, long-line, silky one from Paul Smith Black label, at £419, and a long-line one in cream or slate from Pyrus at £129.
Fenwick Brent Cross is also boyfriend heaven, with a double breasted cream cotton with gold buttons from Sonia by Sonia Rykiel at £285 and a navy, double-breasted version from MaxMara Weekend at £185. Matches has a pretty, classic blazer in sky blue by Stella McCartney, as well as an oversized white one by Haute Hippie. All the blazer shapes - classic, shrunken, sleeveless, oversized - are available across the price spectrum, from terrifying to barely-into-double figures. Before buying, it is worth considering whether you want your boyfriend jacket/blazer to have wardrobe longevity or are happy for it to be a one-season wonder.
If the former, invest in a beautiful, classic one at the top of your budget. If you treat it well, and have it dry-cleaned before storing, it can re-emerge years later (I have Nicole Farhi and Joseph ones from the 80s) looking remarkably on-trend again.
If you choose the latter route, buy your oversized, shrunken or sleeveless blazer on the high street, love it for a season and then dump it.

State Board Approves Vision, Mission, Goals Statement
Immediate Release
October 18, 2001
For Information Call
higher student achievement, advocacy for funding reforms and increased
support for school improvement, members of the Illinois State Board of
Education have approved a new framework to guide state-level education
Board members voted to approve a new Vision-Mission-Goals statement, laying out the guideposts for how the Board and agency will provide leadership, advocacy and support for improving the quality of education throughout the state.
The document covers four key goal areas members of the State Board considered vital to the quality of education: student achievement; policies and services; funding; and collaboration.
The State Board will use the new vision, mission and goals statement in a variety of ways, including:
State Superintendent Glenn W. McGee said the board included a variety of yardsticks to track progress in reaching its goals. "We talk about the percentage of students meeting the state Standards and the level of funding," he said. "The board is holding itself accountable for producing solid results on behalf of the students in the state's schools."
MCGee also point out that the board's vision for Illinois education emphasizes a set of common expectations for all students. "All of our students - no matter where they go to school - should have the tools they need for higher education, vocational training or the workplace," he said.
"There may be one teacher in each classroom, but improving our schools is a cooperative effort that requires collaboration from many partners at many levels," said Ronald J. Gidwitz, the board's chairman. "At the core of the new vision, mission and goals statement is the message that students and teachers are counting on us to build successful partnerships for school improvement."
"Every student in every Illinois school deserves opportunities to get a good education," said Marilyn McConachie, vice-chair of the board. "School districts have the primary responsibility for operating the schools. To reach our goals, this board and this agency must provide a level of leadership, advocacy and support to school boards and the communities they serve."
McConachie also stressed the need for ensuring stability in the aims the State Board set for itself. "Unless there are compelling changes in the environment, these goals are intended to remain stable and useful for a minimum of three to five years, if not longer," she said.

PITTSBURGH, PA (April 11, 2008) – Pittsburgh International Airport has agreed to loan the Alexander Calder mobile called Pittsburgh to the Palazzo delle Esposizioni museum in Rome for an exhibit they are hosting in the winter of 2009.
The Palazzo delle Esposizioni museum will feature a large retrospective of the work of Alexander Calder. The curator for this exhibition is Alexander S.C. Rower, director of the Calder Foundation. The spacious interiors of the Palazzo delle Esposizioni, which have been newly renovated, will provide an exceptional backdrop for celebrating the work of Calder, the 20th century's most buoyant and ethereal of sculptors.
Calder's work, called Pittsburgh, is displayed on the airside terminal of the Pittsburgh International Airport. The work is an aluminum and iron mobile with graceful black rods propelled by white paddles and is suspended above the central atrium near the information desk. It is a familiar site to the millions who pass through Pittsburgh International Airport. Pittsburgh is known for its natural and graceful free rotation on air currents.
"It is impressive recognition for Pittsburgh International Airport that the Palazzo delle Esposizioni museum is interested in borrowing this piece of art from us," said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director, Allegheny County Airport Authority. "We are fortunate to have such a valuable Calder."
The Calder exhibit is expected be on display at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni museum from February 3 to May 3, 2009. Conceived as a panorama of Calder's entire artistic career, this project is unprecedented in both form and size.
Alexander Calder's award-winning Pittsburgh was designed for a Carnegie Institute exhibition in 1958. It was purchased by G. David Thompson who donated it to Allegheny County. In 1959, Allegheny County moved the artwork to the Greater Pittsburgh International Airport. It was returned to the Carnegie Museum of Art in 1979. When the new terminal was completed, Pittsburgh returned to PIT prior to the opening of the terminal.

my friend recently sold me his MPC 1000 and i absolutely love it, have a manual and everything but i was wondering if anyone had some advice on what else i should buy with it. i dont have a memory card. just the mpc and the power supply. when i turn it on it says it's 128mb so i dont know if thats a lot or a little.
what else might i need to buy that will be essential to use with it? i'm willing to spend some money to make sure i have everything i need to make and save music and to be able to transfer samples from my macbook to the mpc. i already tried plugging it in but i guess you cant mount it unless theres a memory card so thats the first thing on my list.
any suggestions on what else i might need? would be much appreciated thanks!
just bought a used MPC 1000

128 is the ram thts the highest you can get for a mpc1000 but you cant save beats or samples on it. if you turn off the mpc everything you have on the ram is gone. thats why you need to have a memory card 1 gig is enough

- Abstract
- We present a technique to extract ultra-deep diffuse-light spectra from the standard multi-object spectroscopic observations used to investigate extragalactic globular cluster (GC) systems. This technique allows a clean extraction of the spectrum of the host galaxy diffuse light from the same slitlets as the GC targets. We show the utility of the method for investigating the kinematics and stellar populations of galaxies at radii much greater than usually probed in longslit studies, at no additional expense in terms of telescope time. To demonstrate this technique, we present Gemini South Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) spectroscopy of 29 GCs associated with the elliptical galaxy NGC 3923. We compare the measured stellar population parameters of the GC system with those of the spheroid of NGC 3923 at the same projected radii, and find the GCs to have old ages >10 Gyr, [α/Fe]∼ 0.3 and a range of metallicities running from [Z/H]=−1.8 to +0.35. The diffuse light of the galaxy is found to have ages, metallicities and [α/Fe] abundance ratios indistinguishable from those of the red GCs.

Dordt College News
Haagsma Signs To Play Dordt Basketball
March 10, 2014
(Monday, March 10; Sioux Center, Iowa) Brandon Haagsma, a senior at Valley Christian High School (Arizona), has announced his intention to attend Dordt College and join the Defender basketball program.
Haagsma, a 6-5 guard, helped his team to a Division 3 State Championship in 2014 and a runner-up finish in 2013. He averaged 14.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and two steals per game while claiming Division 3 Player of the Year honors by the Arizona Basketball Coaches Association.
Haagsma earned first team all-division and all-section honors in 2013 and was a Sports 360 All Arizona All-Academic first team honoree in both football and basketball. He will compete in the Arizona Senior All-Star Game later this year.
"We are pleased to add Brandon to our program," said Dordt College basketball coach Ross Douma. "Brandon has the ability to stretch defenses with his perimeter shooting and, being the son of a coach, possesses a high basketball IQ. He has enjoyed a great deal of success at Valley Christian and we are excited he will bring his winning ways to Dordt. Brandon is a natural fit for Dordt College and our basketball program."
Brandon is the son of Myrna and Greg Haagsma of Gilbert, Arizona. Greg coached Valley Christian's basketball program and is a 1991 graduate of Dordt College. Brandon plans to study exercise science at Dordt College.
Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa, is a comprehensive Christian college rooted in the Reformed tradition. Dordt's athletic program is a part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC).
U.S. News & World Report, Forbes.com, Washington Monthly, and Princeton Review all list Dordt on their best colleges lists. Dordt is home to approximately 1,400 students.

Dordt is 'Best in the Midwest'
Dordt College named 'Best in the Midwest' by Princeton Review
Solar water heating project underway
The engineering department at Dordt College is getting itself into hot water — literally.
After receiving an Iowa Energy Center grant of $7500 this spring, engineering professor Kevin Timmer and two Dordt students have nearly completed the process of installing a solar assisted hot water system for both educational and practical use in Dordt's Center for Science and Technology.
Fulltime summer assistants working Timmer on the project are Danielle Kelderman, a senior engineering major from Harrisburg, SD; and Andrew Tacoma, a senior engineering major from Falmouth, MI. Grant funding covers the stipend the students receive for their work, while Dordt College is covering the cost for the equipment being installed.
The primary objective of the project is to publically demonstrate to Northwest Iowa homeowners and plumbing contractors the environmental and economic benefits of a solar water heating system. The project will also encourage the stewardly use of energy resources.
In the process, Dordt's engineering students are getting hands-on experience in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and solar energy engineering. The project will be demonstrated each semester for the foreseeable future to students enrolled in Dr. Timmer's "Energy, Materials and the Environment" class.

I have been back to work for 3 months now and been exclusively breastfeeding my daughter and pumping while at work. The past month I have been getting blocked duct(s) in my right breast and it seems to be getting worse. When my daughter nurses in the evening she always "unblocks" the duct and the weekends are always no problem since I am not pumping. It used to be that the blocked duct would occur later in the week (Thursday) but now it happens immediately (Mondays) and it is starting to become more uncomfortable. I am beginning to get these stabbing pains and it is most certainly affecting my supply on that side. I do not have a fever so I do no think it is an infection. I have tried different size breast shields, taking lechitin supplements and I drink plenty of water but nothing seems to be helping. I would really like to be able to continue nursing my daughter for much longer but this is becoming more troublesome.
Any advice or thoughts on how to address this issue would be greatly appreciated.

2012 Indie Games of the Year
Alright folks, 2012 came and went, and with it, a bunch of REALLY fun Indie Games. Since I couldn't decide on just ONE game to rule them all (anyway, that would be a pretty short list) I decided to make up a whole bunch of bullsh*t categories so I could fit all of my favorites. Without further a-do - here's the best Indie Games of 2012.
NOTE: Some of these games are currently unreleased. However, trials and demo versions can make the cut if they are an accurate (and fun) representation of the final game.

Homeless man accused of taking college student's guitarOctober 26,2013Police: Homeless
man stole a guitar
BENNINGTON — A homeless man who told police he had been living in a tent on the campus of Bennington College for the past three weeks pleaded innocent Friday to stealing a guitar from a student.
Shaun A. Gibbens, 22, was arraigned on the felony grand larceny charge in Bennington criminal court. He was released without bail but banned from the college campus.
Bennington Police Cpl. Christopher Lauzon wrote in an affidavit that a student reported Wednesday that his guitar, worth about $2,000, had been stolen.
The next day, the owner of a Bennington music store told police a man brought in a guitar and was asking about its value. Lauzon said he got to the store while Gibbens was there.
Gibbens said he was given the guitar by a woman at a church in North Bennington, the officer wrote. Gibbens told Lauzon he just wanted to get home to Sacramento, Calif., and had come to Bennington to visit his girlfriend, a Bennington College student who knew the guitar's owner.
"Shaun then stated: 'This doesn't look good for me.' I told him I agreed with his statement and provided him with the opportunity to tell me the truth," Lauzon said.
Gibbens then admitted to taking the guitar, the affidavit said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Product Description
Update: Pedal, Stretch, Breathe is out of print as of April, 2013. The good news is that an expanded, book-length edition came out in August, 2013. You can find it right here. Thank you for loving this little book as much as we do!
Pedal, Stretch, Breathe: The Yoga of Bicycling is an illustrated guide to incorporating bicycling and yoga by Kelli Refer.
If you're a bicyclist who's curious about yoga (or just about why your hips feel so tight after a long ride) or a yoga practicer who's curious about cycling, you'll enjoy this small book. In a friendly, accessible voice, Refer brings together the details with the big picture. Breathing techniques, hamstring stretches, Seattle's bike infrastructure and urban gardening movement, the science of particulate pollution, and the broad philosophical metaphors of yogic teaching all tie together convincingly in ways you never expected.
Sections of the book include: How to breathe your way up the steepest hills (and the science behind bike paths and air quality); a flow chart of stretches to ease your achey knees and sore back; a guide to your and your bicycle's chakras that will charm any skeptic's heart; and more!
Refer is a yoga instructor and daily cyclist in Seattle. She writes and posts videos about yoga and bicycling on her blog, Yoga for Bikers.
44 pages, published by Taking the Lane
This product is nearly sold out, and is no longer available for wholesale orders. A new, expanded book-length edition is coming out in summer 2013—details coming soon.
Excerpts from Pedal, Stretch, Breathe
Riding a bicycle and doing yoga are both great ways to practice being present. Staying in tune with your body, mine and breath – especially while riding your bike and doing yoga – just feels good.
Our breath is our life force – without it, we die. Each exhale connects you to your core strength and each inhale offers nourishment for every cell in your body. Pause and take a nice deep breath, fully exhale, and see how you feel.
Chakras, one aspect of yoga, offer great insight for deepening your understanding of your body. Chakra translates to "disk" or "wheel." Chakras are like spinning wheels of energy inside the body, propelling us forward through time and space.
Can you find the zen of adjusting your fender bolts?
Yoga and cycling infuse me with personal power, connecting me to the strength I contain.

Heat the oil in a large casserole dish. Brown the chicken, a few pieces at a time, until skin is golden on all sides. As each piece is done, lift out onto a plate. Turn the heat down and add the bacon. Cook gently so some of the fat melts into the pan and keep going until the bacon crisps. Lift out with a slotted spoon and put with the chicken pieces, then add the onions and rosemary to the casserole. Fry for 5-10 mins until the onions have softened, then return the chicken and bacon, along with the tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, stock and seasoning.
Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 40-50 mins until the chicken is tender – check one of the thigh or leg joints as they will take longer to cook. Stir in the parsley, if using, check the seasoning again and serve with mash, pasta or rice if eating straight away. Otherwise, cool and chill for up to 24 hrs. Or freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge, then bring out to room temperature the next day if not fully defrosted. Tip back into a saucepan, bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and gently cook until chicken is piping hot. Don't boil or the chicken may toughen up.

Delicious, everybody enjoyed it; good to use simple bound-to-be-in-stock ingredients and chicken on the bone - much better flavour.
I live in rural Portugal and soo many recipes have to be altered as I cannot buy some of the ingredients or else I have to wait to visit UK, Belgium or Holland so that I can buy stuff.
I followed this recipe exactly using a free range chicken which I jointed myself. I made it on Saturday evening ready to take to our son's house. It fed 4 adults and 3 (small) children with a bit left over.
The sauce did seem a bit thin, but by Sunday it was just right. Everyone enjoyed it and I will certainly make it again.
I cooked this for my fussy eating family & they loved it!!
I did tweak the recipe slightly - I used chicken quarters instead of "jointing " a whole chicken - I coated the quarters very lightly in a mixture of plain,seasoned flour with a touch of paprika .
Instead of using 2 tins of plum tomatoes I used 2 cartons of chopped tomatoes with garlic and olive oil ( from saisburys!) And also added fresh thyme to the rosemary & onions .
I cooked it for 60 minutes (as the chicken quarters were quite large)
I served with green beans and seasoned orzo
All in all a very enjoyable meal - the fussy eaters in my house even said it was delish!
Absolutely lovely! Cooked this for the boyfriend and his family and it went down a treat! I used only one tin of tomatoes and i used 3 tbsp of white wine vinegar instead of 2. I used a lot more bacon too but only because I LOVE bacon!
I will DEFFINITELY be making this again! The chicken was so tender! It was falling off the bone when I tried to serve it! I only used thighs since they was the cheapest cut of chicken I could find!
Very nice, but that's with these additions and changes:
8 chicken drumsticks, fresh beef tomatoes (they're only 40p/kg here in China, huge (300-500g each) and amazing!), garlic, tomato puree, old nasty red wine plus some water (rather than vinegar and stock), and some smoked paprika (love this stuff). I added flour to the onions before adding the liquid, but it still needed reducing for a while.
Really tasty but I made a few small changes. Going from other comments I only used one tin of chopped tomatoes and 250ml of stock. I also added two tablespoons of flour at the onion stage to thicken the sauce. Oh and I fried off some mushrooms with the bacon too. Will definitely be making this again!
Made this tonight in the slow cooker. Used 3 chicken thighs complete with skin and bone with half measures of everything else and subbed with balsamic vinegar instead of wine vinegar. I cooked on high for 2 hours and in the last 20 mins added a few handfuls of orzo pasta. Although it was nice i felt it lacked something. Next time I'll add garlic and serve with plenty of parmesan.

Poor Tiffany & Alexis. I was so looking forward to seeing them skate. Hope Alexis' rehab is going ok.

Joshi Helgesson will she get that spot? (instead of Hecken=W) Battle of the sisters
Can someone tell me why Elena Glebova did not get a spot on the Grand Prix, I thought she skated well at Finlandia (but i guess she did not get the minimum score to attend a GP am I right
Glebova probably just wasn't selected for a Grand Prix because of her competitive history. It was much harder to get Grand Prix assignments with only 10 ladies per event an Leonova & Kostner taking 3 spots each.
Not sure if anyone has posted about this yet, but Joubert has withdrawn due to injury.
I'm sad for Brian Joubert, but happy for the alternative skater who received the assignment. I am of the opinion not to waste precious little slots GP has created this season. Romain Ponsart will gain valuable experience.
I am still bummed for the unfilled male skater slot at COC due to Brian J's last minutes withdrawal. While we cannot plan for an unexpected injury, I was so hoping for Keegan Messing to receive at least one GP assignment.
I agree. What is the point of having substitutes if they are not in fact used? This is a sport where the athletes spend such a disproportionate amount of time training, for very few 4 minutes opportunities to show the world what they can do. It seems so short sighted (and probably driven by $/expenses) to not have fill each slot to create what could be once in a lifetime and hard earned opportunities for athletes, and by the same token, a full slate of performances for the fans who have paid to watch an event.
If they kept the 12 spots and 2 dropped out just leave them vacant. Call the GP 10-12 slots with no replacements.

Eastern Screech Owl
Megascops asio formerly Otus asio
About This Animal
SIZE: 6-10 inches; wingspan 18-24 inches
RANGE: East Montana to the Great Lakes and Ontario to the Gulf of Mexico, Northeast Mexico and Florida
HABITAT: Deciduous and mixed forest, riparian woodlands, rural agricultural areas and suburbs
DIET: Small mammals, small birds, reptiles, amphibians and a large variety of invertebrates
ON EXHIBIT: Makes appearances in Extraordinary Experience bird program in River Journey Delta exhibit
Eastern screech owls are cavity nesters and both parents are active in rearing their three to five chicks (average clutch size). They have a symbiotic relationship with blind snakes. Sometimes they catch the snakes but do not eat them. Instead, the owls place the snakes in their nests where they survive by eating the insect larvae in the nest. According to some studies, this relationship creates a greater success rate for young owls to fledge. Left to its choice the Screech Owl is a good neighbor controlling the local mice population.
Eastern Screech-Owls are active at night and are far more often heard than seen—most bird watchers know this species only from its trilling or whinnying song. However, this cavity-roosting owl can be attracted to nest boxes or, if you're sharp-eyed, spotted in daylight at the entrance to its home in a tree cavity.

No. 3: Homer Simpson, "The Simpsons"
Springfield's favorite father is a simple man who enjoys beer, doughnuts and, well, food in general.
Homer and his loving wife, Marge, have three kids and a dog. His son, Bart, is a reckless juvenile who surprisingly hasn't given Homer a heart attack yet. Daughter Lisa is sometimes too smart for her own good. Baby Maggie is the only child who doesn't give Homer much trouble.
His job at the local power plant has most likely given him some kind of radiation side effects and his boss, Mr. Burns, is as diabolical as a man can get.
Homer isn't exactly the best dad in the world. Look up the definition of lazy and you'll find Homer's picture. And two decades of choking Bart don't reflect well on his parenting techniques.
But, while he isn't the smartest guy in Springfield, he does have a heart as big as his appetite.
The Most Put-Upon Dad Ever?

For Immediate Release
July 13, 2005
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. * State employees from 10 different
agencies are lacing up their tennis shoes and strapping
on their pedometers to participate in the Fit 4 Life State
Agency Walking Challenge, part of Governor Rod R. Blagojevich's
comprehensive fitness and wellness initiative. The six-week
program will challenge state employees to walk 10,000
steps per day. The program began Monday and will end the
last day of the Illinois State Fair, August 21.
"Exercising regularly not only improves your physical
health, but can also help relieve stress and anxiety and
increase your energy level," said Gov. Blagojevich.
"I challenge our state employees and all Illinoisans
to participate in some form of fitness to improve their
health and overall well-being. Fit 4 Life is one way we
can help our state employees take steps to stay fit."
A startling 66 percent of all Americans are overweight,
with more than 30 percent considered obese. Illinois statistics
are comparable to the national trend, with more than 60
percent of Illinois adults 18 and older being overweight
or obese. Obesity related medical expenditures for Illinois
are estimated at $3.4 billion, with $805 million financed
by Medicare and $1 billion financed by Medicaid.
Earlier this year, the Illinois Department of Public
Health (IDPH) piloted a similar walking program and nearly
one-third of the Department's employees participated,
walking a total of 210 million steps over a 12-week period.
Gov. Blagojevich asked Dr. Eric E. Whitaker, state public
health director, to offer other state agencies assistance
in implementing a similar walking challenge.
"Our program was a success and we want other state
agencies to reap the same health benefits," said
Dr. Whitaker. "Employees can experience increased
energy, less stress and better weight management, and
decrease the chance of developing many illnesses if they
add exercise into their daily lives. It's a win-win for
A typical adult averages 3,000 to 5,000 steps a day but
Fit 4 Life challenges 10,000 steps, which is the equivalent
of five miles per day. There are many ways to increase
your steps, for example, walking on lunch breaks, parking
farther away from the store or work, or taking stairs
instead of the elevator.
The Department of Human Services (DHS) and IDPH are working
together to implement various activities and events that
will eventually be a part of Fit 4 Life to raise awareness
of the importance of adopting healthy lifestyles.
"We have instituted a model within DHS to make positive
health behavioral changes and increase health and fitness
awareness by providing employees the opportunity to join
this fitness challenge," said Carol L. Adams, Ph.
D., secretary of the Department of Human Services.
The following state agencies will be participating in
Fit 4 Life:
Department of Agriculture
Capital Development Board
Department of Corrections
Department of Employment Security
Department of Human Services
Department of Healthcare and Family Services
Department of Public Health
Department of Revenue
State Board of Education
State Universities Civil Service System
Participants are able to register to participate in Fit
4 Life and track their progress electronically throughout

New In Box PARA-ORDNANCE, PXT High Capacity Single-Action Semi-Automatic Pistol
In 1988, Para took the shooting world by storm with the first
significant improvement on the basic Model 1911 design in 77 years.
Through superior technology, Para was not only able to create a unique
and novel frame with double the capacity of the standard 1911, but also
improved one of the weak points of the original design, the plunger
tube. On the original 1911 pistol, it is staked onto the frame and can
come loose. In the Para High Capacity pistol, the housing for the slide
stop plunger spring is an integral and inseparable part of the frame.
Paras solid steel frame has stood the test of time and durability in
all calibers. It is proven a winner in the shooting sports and in the
This versatile model bridges the gap between our compact and full size

GOP's Moulton tops Dexter in Senate recall
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Republican state Sen. Terry Moulton has defeated Democrat Kristen Dexter in Tuesday's recall elections.
Democrats angry with Republican Gov. Scott Walker's contentious plan that all but ended most public workers' union rights forced the governor, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, Fitzgerald and two other GOP senators into recalls. They also were trying to capture an open seat in Tuesday's elections.
Walker claimed the plan was needed to control the state budget, but many public workers opposed erosion of their bargaining rights.
Dexter was making a bid to rejoin the Legislature after losing her state Assembly seat in the 2010 elections. Moulton, from Chippewa Falls, was first elected to the Senate that same year.

We invite you to attend our annual diversity conference, "Inclusion: A World Of Opportunities."
NOTE: You must pre-register for the conference (TD1800) and each concurrent session you plan on attending. Registration of TD1800 includes the opening session, lunch and the closing session.
This year we have crated thematic tracks for your convenience. The tracks ill enable participants to easily locate the workshops that are of interest to them and their field of work. While we hope that the tracks facilitate conversations across workshops as participants attend several workshops in the same track, you are welcome to mix and match workshops according to your interests!
Class sizes are limited-you may not be able to attend all classes in a track.
The thematic tracks are as follows:
1. Diversity for student success Workshops in this track will ask how the faculty and staff can channel the potential of inclusion inside and outside the classroom to support student learning for a diverse world.
2. Diverse faculty and staff JMU aspires to be an institution that is home to faculty and staff of all kinds of backgrounds, experience, intellectual and cultural perspectives. Workshops in this track address challenges that JMU faces in meeting this aspiration and consider ways to make JMU more inclusive.
3. Diversity beyond demographics Not all differences that shape our lives and our identities are measured by the census bureau. Workshops in this track deal with aspects of diversity that are easily overlooked but still important for creating a university for all.
4. A changing legal environment for diversity in higher education Workshops and presentations in this track deal with the consequences of a changing historical context for the inclusion of underrepresented groups in higher education.

Dixon named interim CEO for Chesapeake Energy
WHEELING – Following months of controversy regarding his personal stakes in Upper Ohio Valley drilling operations, Aubrey McClendon is out as the chief executive officer of Chesapeake Energy.
McClendon previously agreed to resign as CEO by April 1 as part of a plan to move the Oklahoma City-based company forward. Steven C. Dixon, in addition to his continuing role as Chesapeake's chief operating officer, will serve as the interim chief executive officer until a permanent replacement is hired.
Dixon takes over a company that reported a $940 million loss for stockholders for 2012. Fortunes improved as the year progressed, however, as the company reported $257 million in income for stockholders during the final three months of 2012.
Dixon has served as executive vice president and chief operating officer since 2006 and has held various senior operational positions since joining Chesapeake in 1991.
Chesapeake Chairman Archie W. Dunham thanked McClendon for his leadership since founding the company in 1989.
"Under Aubrey's strong leadership, Chesapeake has built an unmatched portfolio of natural gas and oil assets in creating one of the world's leading energy companies. He has been a pioneer in the development of unconventional resources, and he has also been a leader in the effort to make the United States energy independent," Dunham said.
"I am extremely proud of what we have built over the last quarter of a century, and I am confident that Chesapeake is in a great position to continue to grow and achieve great success in the future as it realizes the full value of its outstanding assets," McClendon said.
Over the past few years, McClendon took a 2.5-percent personal interest in Chesapeake's operations in Brooke, Ohio, Marshall and Wetzel counties. This left some investors concerned because Chesapeake is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, while McClendon's firms – Larchmont Resources and Jamestown Resources – are his own private businesses.
Still, Dunham said Chesapeake is doing well throughout its entire field of business.
"Chesapeake continues to perform well and is successfully executing our strategy to increase liquids production, drive capital efficiencies across the business and enhance financial flexibility to prudently fund growth," he said.
Chesapeake is the largest active natural gas and oil driller in the Upper Ohio Valley. To this point, most of the focus for drilling in the Marcellus and Utica shale formations has been on dry methane natural gas, in addition to liquids such as ethane, propane and butane. However, Chesapeake officials confirm that these materials – as well as crude oil – are being drawn in West Virginia's Northern Panhandle.
Chesapeake drew an average of 290 barrels of oil per day from a single Ohio County well last year. A second Chesapeake Ohio County well yielded 195 barrels of oil each day, while a Marshall County well produced 305 barrels of oil daily.
In the Ohio Utica Shale, a Jefferson County well yielded 425 daily barrels of liquids and 6.7 million cubic feet of natural gas. Chesapeake does show Ohio oil production to the north, however, as one Carroll County well produced 525 barrels of oil daily.

By Dave Wagner: Freedom New Mexico
Abilene Christian, ranked 10th in NCAA Division II, was a huge challenge for the Eastern New Mexico University football team last week. West Texas A&M next week and Midwestern State after that, both ranked, fall into the same category.
Today's clash against Northwest Missouri State, though, figures to be at least as testy as any of them.
"They're averaging 60 points (actually 55.5) on offense," ENMU coach Mark Ribaudo pointed out. "ACU was averaging 31, if that puts it in any perspective."
The teams meet for the first time at noon (MDT) today in Maryville, Mo., a game added over the summer when the three-time NCAA Division II champion Bearcats (5-1) were looking to fill a hole in their schedule after fellow Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association member Nebraska-Omaha dropped its football program.
"We had an open date and they called us, and (athletic director) Dr. (Jeff) Geiser and I kicked it around," Ribaudo said. "They're paying us a good guarantee to go up there. It's a chance for our kids to play in one of the best venues in Division II."
The Bearcats, ranked eighth, have undergone major changes since losing to eventual champion Minnesota-Duluth 17-13 in last year's semifinals — ending a record run of five consecutive championship game appearances.
Longtime coach Mel Tjeerdsma retired after the 2010 season and assistant Scott Bostwick was named to replace him. But Bostwick died of a heart attack in June and the school selected Dorrel, the team's offensive coordinator and a former Bearcats player.
"It's been a challenge for us, but we feel like our kids have done a really good job," Dorrel said.
He said Northwest, ranked No. 1 before blowing a 21-0 first-quarter lead in a 38-35 loss to MIAA rival Pittsburg State on Oct. 1 at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium, lost nine starters on offense and seven on defense from last year's squad. The Bearcats regrouped a week ago with a 38-20 rout at then-No. 19 Central Missouri.
"We feel like we do some good things," Dorrel said. "We're disappointed we lost to Pitt State in the fashion we did, but we rebounded last week."
Because of injuries, including several against ACU, Ribaudo doesn't have the team he'd hope to take to Maryville. He said defensive backs Ronnie Slater and Nick Jones are questionable this week, while defensive lineman Aaron Vaughn (torn bicep tendon) and wide receiver Michael Matthews (knee) are out.
Vaughn, in fact, is done for the season.
To make a game of it, the Hounds may have to temper their normal rapid-fire style, Ribaudo said.
"We have to keep their offense off the field, stop their run and get them into long passing situations where maybe you can bring some blitzes," he said. "They'll take what you give them, and if you don't stop them, they'll keep doing it."
It's an extremely tall order, he acknowledged.
"I'd say they're the team of the decade (in Division II), especially where they came from and what they've done," Ribaudo said.
