High/Low Union1 of 23
Check out our top picks of the year! —Glo
Uber-chic Lanvin fashions at H&M wallet-friendly prices? This too-good-to-be-true scenario sent a frisson of excitement through the style world when it was announced in September, and when the collection hit stores, the clothes did not disappoint. Fashionistas and celebs, like Natalie Portman, embraced the Alber Elbaz-designed duds.
Beauty Endorsement Deal2 of 23
Taylor Swift was certainly America's sweetheart this year. And CoverGirl had the good sense to sign her up for its newest ad campaigns. We can't imagine a scenario where those products don't sell out.
Memoir3 of 23
One of the best books we've read in a long time is Laura Munson's This Is Not the Story You Think It Is, in which she describes how she stayed strong when her husband told her he wanted to leave her, responding with a firm, "I don't buy it." A must-read book of resilience, happiness and, ultimately, love.
SHOP NOW: This Is Not the Story You Think It Is, $17
Celebrity Home4 of 23
Out of all of the stars who've opened their homes for our voyeuristic eyes this year, our vote goes to Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her Spanish-style home in the Hollywood hills. The living room is the perfect blend of minimalism and high-design.
For more of Ellen Pompeo's home, visit ELLE Decor
Wedding5 of 23
Of the various high-profile nuptials this year, we think that Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky was the best. Not only has the couple known each other since 1993, but they dated solidly for years, making their union more apt to last than other high-profile ones. Plus, the whole affair was tasteful and gorgeous.
Beauty Mascot6 of 23
Francois Nars' adorable dog Marcel became a regular "spokesdog" for the company's makeup line this year. He even answered reader questions on Twitter. We love his dapper outfits and cool swagger.
Tribute7 of 23
The death of Lee Alexander McQueen in February was a tremendous loss, not only to those close to him, but to the entire fashion community. Among the touching tributes paid to the designer, including the presentation of his final collection in Paris and his funeral in London, models Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Annabelle Neilson walked the runway in his creations for the Fashion for Relief charity show, organized to send aid to earthquake victims in Haiti.
Tech Splurge8 of 23
If you were not in line at the crack of dawn to get the most coveted gadget of the year, then it was definitely at the top of your Christmas list. Apple's iPad revolutionized how we chatted, gamed and worked on the go this year.
SHOP NOW: iPad, from $499
Bad Guy9 of 23
Another season of The Bachelor, another failed couple. When will our attention run out, we wonder? Never, if men like this past season's Jake Pavelka dump their fiancés over the phone. Unlike dudes like Tiger and Jesse, Jake's crime was more dramatic than destructive. And while we don't want to encourage his fame-seeking, media-pandering ways, at least he made things interesting.
Stylish Read10 of 23
Fashion editor and style expert Nina Garcia's book offers advice on what to wear for any occasion, including an office party, a blind date, an art opening and when you're asking for a raise. Illustrated by Ruben Toledo, this smallish volume can live happily on your dresser to provide daily inspiration.

Design Star Surprise11 of 23
Vanilla Ice on DIY's The Vanilla Ice Project takes the award for most surprising design star of the year. On his DIY Network show, the rapper-turned-real-estate-guru shows viewers the process of him remodeling, redecorating and flipping a house. If you got a problem, yo [he'll] solve it. Ice, ice, baby.

Way to Quit12 of 23
We don't think the country will soon forget former Jet Blue employee Steven Slater, who infamously quit via airplane loudspeaker, grabbed a couple beers and hightailed it off a plane via emergency blow-up slide.
Home Collaboration13 of 23
Out of the many home design collaborations this year, our personal favorite came from Georgina Chapman of Marchesa who is best known for her Hollywood red carpet gowns. In this collection she brought her feminine details and delicate touch to dinnerware.
SHOP NOW: Marchesa by Lenox dinnerware set, $180
Hair Transformation14 of 23
We loved Michelle Williams as Jen Lindley back during her Dawson's Creek days. But the actress she's grown into is even more impressive. And now she's got the chic, adult haircut to match it.
Not-So-Sexy Sex Trend15 of 23
This year, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt brought a new sexual grooming regimen to the masses: vajazzling. While we don't necessarily condone gluing rhinestones to one's nether regions, the fact that you can is really quite amazing. In a terrifying way, of course.
Post-Divorce Conduct16 of 23
Talk about a class act — Sandra Bullock may have endured a cheating husband and the tabloid train wreck that soon followed, but she kept her lips sealed for the most part, focusing on her adorable son Louis instead.
Home Shopping Purchase17 of 23
Late night television shopping was a guilty pleasure for so many people this year. Our favorite infomercial home item was the CLEANCut no touch paper towel dispenser. Using a motion sensor, the dispenser releases a stream of paper towels. Genius!
SHOP NOW: CLEANCut Dispenser, $140
Advice Book18 of 23
The last thing many of us want to think about is fighting with our significant others. While you can't avoid conflict completely, you can better understand what triggers you toward them fightin' words. Divorce lawyer Laurie Puhn's book, Fight Less, Love More, is filled with great advice and relevant examples from her work with real people.
SHOP NOW: Fight Less, Love More, $16
New Toy19 of 23
We're big fans of Jimmyjane over here and this award goes to none other than its FORM 3 vibrator that was released this year. Its design allows for the toy to be used solo, by your partner on you or even during sex if carefully placed in the right spot. Plus, like all of Jimmyjane's toys, it's made from body-safe materials, it's waterproof, and it's rechargeable.
Designer20 of 23
Between the dreamy Fall 2010 designs and Spring 2011's super-sexy disco looks, Marc Jacobs presented arguably the best collections of the year. And that was just under his eponymous label; let's not forget about Fall's '50s-friendly fashions and Spring's incredibly rich romp to the Far East designed for Louis Vuitton.
Home Invader21 of 23
Ewww! Bedbugs were this year's hottest (and most feared) home accessory. The tiny bugs bit their way across the country and were found in Park Avenue mansions and modest rural homes alike. This is a trend we hope doesn't carry over into 2011.
Best Friends22 of 23
Oprah and her best pal, Gayle King, have created meaningful memories through their "Big Adventure" road trips and the talk show queen recently discussed their friendship with Barbara Walters, tearing up as she said of Gayle, "She is the mother I never had. She is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person."
Beauty Controversy23 of 23
The Brazilian Blowout was all the rage with celebrities like Nicole Richie and regular girls like our very own beauty editor. Now it's come to light that the procedure may include more chemicals than originally stated and could have some harmful effects after lengthy exposure.

A bobcat was spotted sleeping outside Westview High School in Rancho Penasquitos on Monday evening, police said.
San Diego police officers were seen near the high school's football stadium after someone saw the animal west of the bleachers at 4:30 p.m., SDPD officer Dino Delimitros said.
Miguel Carillo was at Westview High to watch the marching band competition on the football field.
"Around 1:30 or so, he moved out towards the shopping center and spent about 30 minutes in the top corner of the bush area. Then, about an hour later, he came down to what appears to be a den area for him," said Carillo.
The California Department of Fish and Game did not respond to the incident because the bobcat would likely run off, Delimitros said.
The animal did not attack anyone, according to the officer.
By 6:45 p.m., the scene was cleared.
It was unknown which direction the bobcat took off.

My Nan spent her whole life knitting and crocheting and, at one point, had knit my father a beautiful pair of wool mitts. This pair of handmade hand-warmers were given from my Nan to her youngest son, made with care and woven with intricate patterns. They were more than just mittens or gloves; they were works of art in their own right.

Four or five years ago, I was cleaning up my parent's basement in St. John's when I came across a treasure. It was an old can of pop. Not much to you maybe, but to me it was as if I hit the jackpot.

My second favourite food on the planet is macaroni and cheese. I'd walk a mile in a blinding snowstorm to get my hands on its ooey-gooey goodness. But if somebody offered me chocolate – I'd walk that mile blindfolded on my hands. I love chocolate. Or, as we like to say around here, "I dies for it." So, when the idea came about that I should go do a course at the Newfoundland Chocolate Company on how to make chocolate, and blog about it – well, let's just say the sentence wasn't out of their mouths before I had my coat on and was out the door.

The crowd is hopping from foot to foot—kids blowing whistles; grown-ups blowing steam from coffee cups. It's a July day masquerading as October, and I'm on the Government Wharf in Joe Batt's Arm, waiting for the Great Fogo Island Punt Race to There and Back to begin.

Just minutes from downtown St. John's is the picturesque village of Quidi Vidi, a destination within a destination. The old fishing stages, slipways, narrow laneways, and a small harbour known as the Gut, all add to its charm. It is a hint of rural Newfoundland within the city limits. You can explore the Gut by boat or by foot, and there are numerous food, beverage and artisan experiences to be had. Join us as we spend the day taking in the Quidi Vidi Village experience. First stop - The Quidi Vidi Plantation.

Nestled snuggly within the sheltered harbour of Tors Cove is Running the Goat Books & Broadsides - a micro-press specializing in work by Newfoundland & Labrador-based writers. The press is one of Newfoundland's best kept secrets, hiding in plain sight along the East Coast Trail. Inside, owner Marnie Parsons lovingly sets, prints and sews beautiful books – all by hand. Last weekend, on a sunny Sunday, I made the scenic drive (only 40 minutes from St. John's) and discovered a world of bookmaking often forgotten in today's modern world – I discovered what it meant to Run The Goat.

Just off the coast of Newfoundland is a collection of islands that are not part of the province. Indeed, they are not even Canada! St. Pierre and Miquelon are the last piece of French territory in North America. They are quite distinct from Newfoundland and Labrador, making them a must visit. Indeed, the tourism industry of St. Pierre and Miquelon and the Burin Peninsula, in Eastern Newfoundland, are closely entwined. You'll discover a whole new world when you take the ferry from the town of Fortune. Here's some of the coolest facts about Newfoundland and Labrador's closest foreign country.

Shipwrecks have longed captured the imagination of the public. Shipwreck stories, historic and fictional, contain many of the themes that draw interest: man vs. nature, courage, survival, tragedy, hope, life, and death. Newfoundland and Labrador, with 500 years of nautical history, has its fair share of shipwrecks – perhaps more so, given the amount of historic sea traffic, the province's position in the north Atlantic Ocean, and the foggy and stormy weather. Indeed, some estimates place the number of shipwrecks off the coast of Newfoundland in excess of 10,000!

"The Known Soldier" is one of 6 performances that the Gros Morne Theatre Festival (GMTF) is doing this summer in Cow Head. On the 100th anniversary of World War 1 it is fitting to produce a play about one of Newfoundland's heroes of that war- Tommy Ricketts. And "The Known Soldier" was written and directed by the talented Jeff Pitcher, GMTF's artistic director! What is significant about Tommy Ricketts is that he lied about his age when he signed up (he was just 15 at the time) yet in just a couple of years he had earned the Victoria Cross, the Britain's highest award for valour. His sprints over open fields in the heat of battle are legendary.

Those stats mean nothing to me. First your representation of them is false, stating:
We can take it further, talking about how Melo's +/- on the season is 0.4. So even though Melo is getting the most minutes and the most offensive production on the team BY FAR the team is barely beating their opponents when he is on the floor. Are you gonna put that all on Melo's teammates?
Melo regularly takes terrible shots, is lazy about going to the basket, settles for jumpers way too much, makes bad decisions, argues with officials and gives up points in transition. In my eyes he's tied for worst play of the season with Bargs and JR's inexplicable 3pt shots when the Knicks had the final shot available, when he nonchalantly dribbled the ball up the court and hoisted a 1 on 3 deep shot off the dribble...
As usual it's the debate where fans of an individual argue with fans of the team, Team Melo aka Team Starbury who blindly follow one player regardless of his faults. I'm a fan of the Knicks, by proxy I like Melo and was impressed by his individual performance, I don't hate on him at all, and my criticisms are not for no reason. When I see Melo I see a great player who doesn't regularly play to his ability on both sides of the ball.
Is Melo a great player? Hell yeah. Is he the best player on this team? Obviously. Is he the best defender on this team? Arguable but there could be a case made for it. Does he play as well as he could night in night out? Nope. Is that all his fault? No it's not all on him but he could do a lot more.
That'll be my final word on the matter.

One flu-related death reported in Wood County
PARKERSBURG – At least one local resident has died due to influenza-related illness, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Jessica Woods, interim epidemiologist for the Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department, said one "elderly individual" has died in Wood County from flu-related illness. Woods said it is, so far, the only confirmed flu-related death reported to the health department, which serves six counties in West Virginia.
On Tuesday, officials with the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department said at least two deaths in Kanawha County have been linked to flu-related illness. In both cases the people were elderly and had other health issues as well.
Woods said such deaths are only reported to the health department if they occur within a nursing home or are a child under the age of 18. The elderly and very young are considered at risk for complications from influenza.
Woods said influenza numbers are reported by area schools and through seven "sentinel" sites throughout the health department's six-county region.
"Those doctors report to us the number of cases they see. They also do random swabs to test for influenza," she said.
Though current numbers were not immediately available Wednesday, Woods said West Virginia has been identified as one of 29 states with a high rate of influenza this season, and the numbers were consistent in the Mid-Ohio Valley.
"Throughout our region, things are looking fairly similar," to the state as a whole, she said.
Areas of the country are being battered by record numbers of influenza-related illness and deaths. Officials are urging people to get flu shots if they have not already and to follow good hygiene practices, such as covering their mouth when they cough or sneeze, disinfecting commonly touched surfaces and staying home from work or school while they are ill.
Teresa Morehead, coordinator of health services for Wood County Schools, said some area schools have seen an increase in influenza-like illness in the past week. An average of 8-10 schools a day see double-digit absence rates, she said.
However, the county as a whole continues to have its absence rate hover around 8.5 percent.
"We're not seeing any specific pockets of schools with issues, but a lot of the same schools continue to have higher absence rates," she said.
The school system continues to provide educational support for students, teaching them good handwashing habits, how to sneeze or cough into the crook of their arms, and encouraging parents to keep ill students at home until they have gone without a fever for at least 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medication.

Tips for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
One of the nicest things about being a grandparent is having the ability to shower your grandchildren with gifts and love, to spoil them like you never could with your own children, and then being able to go home without any of the anxiety and financial responsibility that go along with raising a family.
But life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. You're in your fifties or sixties and you may not have the same energy levels you had when you were younger. You've already raised children of your own and you're looking forward to retirement, when all of a sudden, everything is flipped upside down. Possibly due to reasons beyond your control, you are faced with raising kids all over again; only this time it's your children's children.
In recent years, it has become more and more common for grandparents to step up and take their grandchildren into their homes when the need arises. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, more than six million children in this country under the age of 18 are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. The same data also shows that more than 2.4 million grandparents act as the primary caregivers for their grandchildren.
There may be several reasons behind these rising numbers, including death of a parent, child abuse or neglect, issues arising from divorce, military deployment, parental issues with drugs or alcohol, and financial strain or illness which hinders a parent's ability to provide for their child.
If you are a grandparent in this type of situation, you feel the enormous weight resting on your shoulders. Whatever the reason, the task of providing total financial support and parental guidance to your grandchildren can be daunting. Below are some tips that can help you cope.

A cats senses are superior amongst the animal world, with exceptional sight, smell and taste, cats are able to subtly sneak up on, and catch their prey with immense success.
Despite the cats unbeatable night-vision, a cats eyesight during the day is actually not too dissimilar from a humans! Due to this, cats are more nocturnal hunters looking for small rodents and birds.
The average domestic cat sleeps for around 18 hours a day and tends to spend their waking time hunting for food. Despite wild cats being solitary animals, the domestic cat is known to enjoy attention from humans and other animals and will often even get on well with some dogs.

Slobodan Zelich
ZELICH, Slobodan, F., 88, Steubenville, passed away Tuesday, February, 5, 2013, at Trinity West Medical Center.
He was born December 16, 1924, in Zegar and raised in Sibenik, Dalmatia, the Adriatic coastal part of the former Yugoslavia. Preceding him in death were his father, Proto Pavle (Paul) Zelich, his mother, Milica Sekulich Zelich and his two sons, Milan and George, a brother, Milan (Mary) Zelich.
Surviving him are his wife of 65 years, Nevenka Torbica Zelich, a son, Paul of Steubenville, his daughter, Sonja (Clyde) DiAngelo of Steubenville, grandchildren, Danielle DiAngelo (Trevor) Kalinowski and Michael DiAngelo, two great grand children, Ty Angelo and Vinny Joseph Kalinowski, sisters, Mirjiana Rismondo and Duska "Diane" Milo, and many nephews and nieces.
Slobodan worked as a foreman for many years and retired from Trans Buckeye Sheet and Strip Steel Company.
During World War II, Yugoslavia became a deeply divided country of several factions, with brother fighting brother, depending on ideological alignments.
Slobodan joined the organized guerrilla fighters known as the Chetniks, detachments of the Yugoslav Army, led by Gen. Draza Mihailovic, who, as royalists, fought to preserve the crown of young King Peter II of Yugoslavia. The Chetniks battled the communist Partisans of Josip Broz Tito, as well as the fascist Ustase, allied to Nazi Germany. Near the end of the war, Vojvoda (Chief) Momcilo Djujic, sensing all was lost, marched his Dinara Division, to which Slobodan belonged, out of Yugoslavia, fighting his way with his men over snowbound mountains, leading a mixed body of 20,000 combatants and civilians, a long line of humanity, stretching for miles, girded by soldiers to the front, rear, and flanks. Slobodan and his future wife, Nevenka, possessing only what they were wearing and what they could carry, trudged through deep snow for hundreds of miles, eventually transiting the Istrian peninsula to the relative safety of Italy, where they spent time in displaced persons camps, then on to refugee camps in Germany, where they were married in Diepolz in 1947. They came to the United States in 1949, after burying their first born son, who had died of a fever in a postwar Germany sadly lacking in medicine.
Shortly after the war, Slobodan's father, the Very Rev. Paul Zelich, was assigned a parish in Steubenville, Ohio, to serve as spiritual leader of the Serbian Orthodox faithful residing in the Ohio River Valley, and tasked with garnering funds with which to build a new church, the Holy Resurrection Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church, whose cornerstone was laid in 1947 and which still stands today on North Fourth Street. Slobodan organized a junior choir within the church community. Many of the junior choir members were to join his senior choir, the Petar Krstich Choir, whose helm he took in 1961 and directed until 2008. He instilled a strong sense of Serbian ethnic pride and identity in his singers, both young and old, with a genuine love for Serbian Orthodox Liturgical music, as well as his folk and patriotic music. Slobodan ended his career with his 100th composition entitled "Sonja." The Petar Krstich Choir traveled throughout the U.S. and Canada, establishing a reputation as one of the finest choirs in the Serbian Singing Federation. Slobodan won numerous honors and awards within the Serbian Singing Federation, which he was a member of, and also the Serb National Federation Lodge 22.
He will be missed by relatives as the quintessential family man, by his church as a devout Eastern Orthodox Christian, and by his fellow singers as a catalyst for song.
Friends may call at Dunlope-Shorac Funeral Home, 215 Fernwood Road, Wintersville, OH, on Friday 4-8 p.m. On Saturday, visitation from 11 a.m. until the time of services at noon at Holy Resurrection Serbian Church with Very Rev. Rade Merick officiating. Burial at Holy Resurrection Cemetery.
Pomen services 7:45 p.m. Friday
The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Dr. Shoshi and his staff, Drs. Kahlil and Murty and the staff at Davita Dialysis, staff at Trinity West and also Acuity Specialty Hospital for their respectful care and compassion.
Memorial Contributions can be made to the Petar Krstich Choir or the Holy Resurrection Serbian Eastern Orthodox Church.

Landscape Initiatives
/ Conservation Delivery Streamlining Initiative (CDSI) Initiative 2
Loading Tree...
The 2007 NRCS project, "Conservation Assistance Streamlined through Process Re-engineering (CASPeR)," identified a number of areas where NRCS has excelled in delivering automation tools and data to its employees. However, that effort also described some critical opportunity areas to be addressed to ensure that the delivery of conservation assistance is efficiently and effectively supported by information technology. This Streamlining Initiative strategy is being undertaken to:
Ensure a hardware/technology architecture strategy exists that provides field staff access to required data and tools when and where they are needed, including in the field.
Establish more interface standardization to decrease the development, implementation, and training costs; and increase employee efficiency.
Ensure field tools are not unnecessarily complex and time-consuming.
Implement IT tools that help guide or assist field staff through conservation assistance processes. Ensure tools are scalable in design, when appropriate, to address varying levels of complexity.
Establish sufficient integration between databases and tools to eliminate duplicate data entry and database management within respective applications.
Increase the standardization of technology adoption between states in order to effectively integrate new technologies and associated efficiencies into national business processes.
Ensure clear national strategy, policies, procedures, and guidance is available to States to facilitate the effective and efficient use of emerging technologies.
Integrate geospatial data and functionality into NRCS' tools in an effective manner.
Support a more nimble IT development that provides tools to meet Agency needs for technology in a timely manner.
Ensure a national strategy for capturing information technology innovations from states, and sharing innovations between states.
To more effectively align NRCS' information technology with the needs of conservation assistance, Strategy 2 focuses around the development and implementation of the components of a Streamlining Initiative business systems model.
STRATEGY 2.1 - Geospatial data and services will be fully integrated into NRCS' business processes and IT systems and tools.
GIS is no longer an emerging technology for use only by specialists. Fully enabling field planners and technical staff to utilize geospatial data and analysis, without requiring GIS expertise or extensive data management, is essential for NRCS to meet its mission.
To effectively utilize GIS in support of conservation assistance, NRCS will:
Develop intuitive, user-friendly tools for use by planners in both the office and field setting.
Establish applicable policies and procedures that standardize the use of GIS and digital geospatial data for identified business processes Agency-wide.
Establish that only one conservation plan for a unit of land will be allowed, eliminating the concept of "pan-caked" plans with overlapping boundaries.
Establish policy that all planned land units (field boundaries), natural resource features important for planning, and conservation practices (planned and existing) will be digitally geo-referenced to document the conservation plan.
Provision geospatial data to field business tools and science applications in a manner that is transparent to the field user.
Integrate NRCS cartographic standards, symbology, and conventions into NRCS business tools. Business and science tools will implement standardized file naming and database organization for data collected in a manner transparent to the user.
STRATEGY 2. 2 - A Conservation Desktop concept will be implemented nationwide to serve as a single web application for staff to manage workflow and access the data and tools needed perform their job.
To accommodate NRCS' decentralized structure, a "Conservation Desktop" will serve as a common web application into the array of activities and associated tools used by field staff daily, to guide staff through the steps of technical and financial assistance, and automate workflows.
The Conservation Desktop has a variety of functionality that will be implemented through a sequence of releases during 2011 through 2015; a minimum set of functionality for the first release is being defined by the Core Integration Team.
NRCS will provision a Conservation Desktop for field planners that reinforces the integrated delivery of technical and financial assistance.
Conservation Desktop for field planners will provide a synchronized link to the Client Service Gateway and the Mobile Planning Tool.
The Conservation Desktop for field planners will provide the ability to create both standardized and ad hoc queries of data from one or more plans and contracts, and integrate this data with natural resource information.
NRCS will provision a Conservation Desktop for FA clerical support staff that provides automated workflow between the support staff, field planners, the clients, and others in the FA workflow (e.g. contract approvers). See Strategy 4.1.
STRATEGY 2.3 - The use of mobile computing will be institutionalized for conducting the resource inventory, analysis, and decision support steps of planning, as well as other selected field-based processes.
Meeting the success criteria established for enabling field staff to spend more time in the field requires that the Agency adopt mobile computing as a fundamental component in its business systems model. Delivering assistance through a mobile platform that provides field planners with access to data and tools in the field increases efficiency, and reinforces a resource-centric business model where planners focus their efforts in the field with customers.
A success criterion for mobile computing should be that when a planner returns to the office from a field planning session, they are done with "paperwork" once they synchronize their portable device.
To effectively use mobile computing to support conservation assistance, NRCS will:
Implement a technology architecture for mobile access to data and tools that assures the technology used will perform reliably everywhere.
Equip all field technical staff who perform conservation planning with mobile computing technology as part of an enterprise procurement process.
Implement a Mobile Planning Tool application to guide the planner through the resource inventory and decision support steps in the planning process.
STRATEGY 2.4 - NRCS' resource inventory, decision support, and design tools used by field staff will be restructured to align with conservation assistance business processes.
Providing resource inventory, decision support, and environmental compliance tools better aligned with NRCS business processes can minimize duplicate data entry, reduce training needs, enhance the credibility of the plan product, and significantly increase workflow efficiencies.
To effectively align NRCS' resource inventory and decision support tools to more effectively support conservation assistance, NRCS will:
Define an enterprise-level database structure and definitions across the resource inventory, decision support, and design tools used by the field, and establish a corporate strategy for provisioning data to these tools.
Design NRCS' resource inventory, decision support, and design tools used by the field for conservation assistance to support streamlined data entry and use.
Integrate the data collection, workflow, and documentation for environmental and cultural resources compliance into the conservation assistance business process.
NRCS will initially focus on restructuring/migrating two priority application areas to this integrated environment in order to provide significant efficiencies for the field: an integrated erosion tool and an integrated grazing application. Both of these applications will be designed to operate as a feature on the mobile planning tool, aligned with the steps of planning, and fully integrated with common geospatial services.
In order to implement the modified resource concerns as identified in Strategy 4.1, NRCS will also prioritize efforts in 2010-2011 to establish a set of simple assessment tools/worksheets to support screening and other assessments at a landscape or farm scale during conservation planning (e.g. wildlife habitat, air, and energy considerations).
STRATEGY 2.5 - Establish and implement an enterprise architecture strategy that ensures that applications and databases are designed to enable the sharing of services and functionality.
To effectively implement streamlined conservation assistance business processes, a higher level of integration across the Agency's business and scientific tools with shared data and services is required. NRCS must establish a policy that does not provide resources to fund applications that have non-integrated data structures, duplicate functionality or data entry, or interfaces that do not comply with established standards or conventions.
Technologies such as the conservation transaction plug-in should be used to leverage external development by partners and others, and to provide the technical framework for applications that will have use external to the Agency.
STRATEGY 2.6 - Establish a formal strategy and process for encouraging, guiding, documenting, and sharing business process and information technology innovations from the state, area, and field levels of NRCS.
To streamline conservation assistance, NRCS must introduce more standardization in some areas (e.g. FA processes, technology adoption, mobile hardware, shared services, GIS integration, Conservation Desktop). But with standardization comes the increased potential for stifling creativity and innovation from the state, area, and field levels. Unless accompanied by a collaborative approach, national standardization can actually discourage offices from sharing innovative solutions.
NRCS' strategy for encouraging state and local innovation will establish a framework that:
Establishes a collaboration between National Headquarters/Technology Centers and development sites at the field, area, and state level
Minimizes duplication of effort between states, and enhances sharing of ideas and project results between states, and
Guides or facilitates state-level development to assure innovations are structured to accommodate a potentially wider adoption when appropriate, and even supports states with funding when appropriate.

The Brooklyn crew — best known for providing "Justified" with theme song — selected a name that doubles as an explanation of its sound.
The group's music melds bluegrass with hip-hop, an unexpected musical pairing further reflected in the titles of two of the band's albums: Lightning on the Strings, Thunder on the Mic and Rappalachia, both of which are far more inventive than the songs contained on either.
The project was launched in '06 by producer Rench, who has been joined by a rotating cast of musicians and MCs since forming the group.
Kelly Zullo's Funkgrass opens the show.

For flatworms, "Who's your daddy?" is a loaded question. In a bizarre bout lasting up to an hour, the first flatworm to stab and inseminate its mate becomes the father.
But when it comes time to make little flatworms, they have to decide who plays which role...and that they fight over.
The two flatworms rear up, exposing their midsections.
Those jutting white nibs aren't weapons-at least, not intentional ones.
They are actually the worm's penises-a double-barreled inseminator-if they can shoot first.
Flatworm sex consists of the two attempting to stab their lover with their pointed pair and inseminate each other...an act delicately referred to as "penis-fencing."
But there's nothing delicate about it.
Flatworms have been known to gouge holes in each other in battles lasting up to an hour.
Why do they cross swords? Producing offspring requires a lot of energy.
The winning father can go out and about in the world without any further responsibility.
The losing mother absorbs the winner's sperm.
It must now work longer and harder to find food and stay alive.
The father floats merrily along. The mother crawls along looking for a meal, already the responsible one.

Congregation Brothers of Israel
530 Washington Crossing Road
Newtown, PA 18940
All About 'Birthright'
October 6, 2013 10:00 AM
A stone's throw from where George Washington crossed the Delaware, Boston's Birthright Israel Foundation director Scott Freidman will be sharing the story of American Jewish young adults "crossing into community involvement" in what is arguably the saving grace for the future of the American Jewish community. Friedman will be giving his first public presentation in this area at Congregation Brothers of Israel.
As the number of Jews in America has been stagnant over the last 50 years, and at least half of Jewish young adults find non-Jewish spouses, the one project that is reversing this trend with 350,000 young adults visiting Israel, is the Birthright Israel - Taglit (as it is called in Israel) project.
Birthright is the brainchild of two major Jewish philanthropists Michael Steinhardt and Charles Bronfman, who lead the American Jewish community, the Israeli government and the Jewish Agency to partner on this project, providing a resurgence of Jewish community involvement into the new millennium.
Youth, parents and community leaders in the Princeton, NJ to Greater Philadelphia corridor are invited to hear first-hand this amazing story behind the free 10-Day Israel trip for Jewish young adults, ages 18-26, on this first-time community presentation by Boston's Birthright Foundation Director.
Bagels and spreads will be available at 9:30 a.m.

Graduating Tigers let loose one final roar
Seniors at Elkins High School said tearful good-byes to their classmates and teachers Friday as they prepare to embark on their future careers.
As 182 students got ready to enter the Elkins High School gymnasium prior to receiving their diplomas, many said they were excited to finally cross the stage.
"I am so happy to be here tonight," said Colleen Webley. "But it feels like this is still practice."
Classmate Jillian Amos agreed.
"This just doesn't seem real," Amos said.
Tyson Currence and Delaney Johnson, co-valedictorians, inspired others with their comments.
Currence said standing at the school Friday evening seemed surreal.
"All the time waiting for graduation made it appear like it would never happen, but we are finally here," Currence said. "We got here with two important words – team effort. The diplomas we will receive tonight will have our names written on them, but in a more true sense, diplomas should have many names on them: the names of everyone who inspired, supported and believed in us – everyone who wanted something better for us and those who made our journey possible.
"This graduation is not an end but a new beginning," Currence continued. "We have practiced for so long and now we are entering the world as young adults. Again, I cannot thank everyone enough, and we, the class of 2013, look forwarding to doing all we can for others as you have done for us."
Johnson took fellow students back on a trip to kindergarten, stopping throughout milestones to their senior year. She also had advice for the future.
"Don't doubt or limit yourself," Johnson said. "Hear what others are saying, but make your own decisions. This class is your class, even though we did not all begin together. Love one another and make a difference, and remember to thank those around you for everything they have done for you and for being in your life."
Salutatorian Natalie Green reminded classmates that they will no longer be members of the EHS student body.
"After tonight, we will enter into the ever-expanding group of EHS alumni," Green said. "Each of us will move on and follow different paths.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, says Chan Ho Park. The former Phillies reliever signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the New York Yankees today, according to Dave Murphy of the Daily News. There are also $300,000 worth of incentives to be had in the deal.
To me, this seems like a steal by the Yankees. And, although Jose Contreras is wowing some people with his arm early in the spring, I think Park is still the better option presently. Both Park and Contreras signed for similar money, so did something happen behind the scenes that led the Phillies away from Park, or vice versa? At a full million dollars less than last season, Park would have been seen as a steal had the Phils locked him up. Now, he's just been stolen by the former champs and the richest franchise in baseball.
I think the question here is, who would you rather have had for '10: Chan Ho Park or Jose Contreras?
56 Comments
Phillies tried to sign Park for $3 million back in November and he turned it down because he wanted to start. It's not as if keeping Park in relief wasn't Ruben's first choice too, but he had to move on while the other arms were still available and Scott Boras was still holding out for too much money for Park.
I think this was a settlement for Park, I am sure he may have a shot to start in NY since after their top 3 there is no definite who will start.
You know what? That's irritating. Was anyone REALLY gonna sign him as a starter? I would have loved to have Chan Ho back. I have a question. If Chan Ho had called and told Ruben that he would pitch outta the pen for 1.5m, would RAJ had signed him, even given the presence of Contreras? The players have to lower their expectations and get real.
The Dipsy
I hope we play the yanks again in the WS and someone puts a fastball in his ribs when he comes up to bat. F- him
Park cooked his own goose by turning down an offer…because he wanted to start…Aaron (above) already mentioned that.
It's over…he moved on. The Phils moved on. Let's get behind Contreras and cheer for him to have the same success as Chan Ho had last year..
Crying about the fact that we don't have him…and that the Yankees do…isn't gonna do any good…
Oh, and Dipsy….my gut tells me that Park NEVER would have called RAJ looking for a job….because he was hurt that the Phillies wouldn't start him..
The loss of park is critical to a pen that was inconsistent in 2009 at best. Rueben deserves the benefit of the doubt as he has made most of the right moves thus far however the opportunities to have such a significant core of impact players doesn't come along very often. Had the phillies signed Lee and to a lesser degree Park they had the potential to field one of the better teams of all time. While questions exist(hamels, bullpen) they are still solid.
Question: I may be moving from the philadelphia area. I can't miss my nightly phillies fix during the season. Other than wacthing the game on the computer via MLB. do I have options with cable or satellite to pick up the local feed. Does anyone have experience with this
Didn't he want to start so his countrymen could watch him pitch? I think that was only motivation for wanting to start. Park should have been smart enough to realize that his main value is to the bullpen.
I think Park genuinely felt that because of the success he had last year out of the pen…that he was somehow owed a shot at the 5th spot this year..in my opinion he was out of chances to start.
The fact that the Phillies said no to that I think pissed him off to the point that it has now hurt him. $3 M vs $1.5M is a HUGE difference.
Maybe it's because we have him, but if healthy, I think Contreras is the better option. He's a more effective spot starter, and just as good out fo the pen. Being with the Yanks probably has a bigger commercial impact in Korea, so even though he settled for a smaller contract, Park probably didn't lose any money in the deal.
Mike, I worked 2nd shift most of the last two years, tried to follow games on Gamecast. It didn't work out very well (freezes up a lot, usually with 2 out, 2 on). I never found a good free option. Fortunately, went back to day shift before the end of last season.
Park did pitch well in the pen. But let's not forget he's like 36, got injured a lot, and apparently refused to pitch on back-to-back days and was constantly agitating to start even though he sucked at it. So good riddance.
Contreras may be just as good. He pitched really well for the Rockies pen at the end of last season.
Park is just the pitching version of Johnny Damon. A guy who fudged up his best and most lucrative offer all over a matter of pride. Damon didn't want a pay cut, signed with the Tigers and is getting a pay cut. Park didn't want to be in the pen, signed with the Yanks, took a pay cut and will go in the pen.
I'll miss Park and I certainly hope he gets his chance to start, only to get smacked around like he did when he started for us.
Ball players need to get real.
Speaking of get real…
Jesus anyone?
Its too bad that Park's misreading the market hurts both him and the Phils. He would've been a great bullpen piece. I hope Contreras can be as reliable, but I doubt even Park will be able to have the type of success he had last year.
Whoa…I guess Werth figures that now that Bruntlett's gone someone has to be called "Beard" on the team.
I hope he cuts it back and goes all fu manchu. He could totally pull it off. For a little while.
Chan Ho Chan Ho, sorry to see you go…………………………..
But really, signed for less money……..to the yanks? Really?
He took a paycut and signed for less with the team that can afford just about anything. Would have much rather have seen him sign with a team that actually had to worry about payroll and take a pay cut. On the other hand there is something that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside when a Boras client overplays their hand and ends up with drastically less than what they could have had………………….
Correction his agent is Jeff Borris, my fault.
Not a bad deal for the Yanks. Too bad has to move from one hitter's park to another.
Pat, I live in Central Jersey and have to watch the Phils via the baseball package. Cabelvisions price is somewhere around $200-$250. The only problem is that it's not in HD. Maybe this year they will upgrade.
If the Phils offered $3M+ for Park I think that was a very good offer. I have heard Park wanted to start and so he refused and apparently in a way that made him persona non grata to the Phils.
He has eventually learned that half a loaf is better than one or in this case 1/4 of a loaf.
I agree with Dipsy that this is very irritating. (see Dipsy, I agreed with you!).
Answer to the question posed is definitely Park but we will see how the season plays out.
I am so pissed off about this… and it's not like the Yankees paid him anymore than the Phillies would have!
And it's not like they are going to let him have a starting job either, so eff that guy and his Yankees team!
Every year there are players and agents who always misread the market…that's why when you work under a self-imposed cap and have an upper eschelon team you hold out on bench players, relievers (other than closers) and filler pieces until you get closer to the 11th hour..then you have money and winning team to bid with…and if you spend that money before this time on one of these pieces then at the very least not on 38 yr…whoops 44 yr old sunk cost like Contreras who'd still be on the block today. So worse case if you lose out you can always go to Harbor Freight and find that bargin tool you need.
We still need a back of the pen guy, and Park possibly could have helped there….biggest weakness is still the pen
Not sure why the Phillies couldn't have signed Park for this kind of money. I know he said he wanted to start, but he clearly doesn't have a spot in the rotation in NY. Kinda disappointing.
Jayson Werth is the most badass athlete in the city!
Danny Carcillo needs to take a lesson in Facial Hair 101, from Professor Werth
Mike –
Moving from Philly ———-
I highly recommend investing in a Slingbox. About two years ago I moved out of an area with Comcast and into and area without Phils coverage. I hooked a Slinbox up to a Fios box in my sisters room at my parents house in Wilmington. Now I can get the games on any computer or a TV I have set up at my house.
One time fee and your set but you need someone back in the Philly area (parents, friends, relative) who will allow you to hook the Slingbox up to their TV.
Completely legal and well worth the investment!
The Yanks can have Chan Ho and his spitball. There was a Youtube video of Chan Ho spitting on the ball in the WS and I believe the Yankee batter was Posada who even looked at the ump right as Chan Ho wiped the saliva onto the ball. You can Google it but the user has removed it.
This is a who cares move. I think Bayez and Contreras are better than Park and Durbin when you look at it this way. The real concern in the bullpen should be the LHR.
Jayson does that beard come with a guitar and the 70's songwriter's songbook…maybe put the Chevy to the levee with that mountain man special….
don't mess with Carbomb's hommage to the Hammer
Carbomb is nasty… but Werth's is the best facial hair in all of Philadelphia
I hope he keeps it for a while, it looks like two at least a month's werth of growing
Werth looks lke an extra from Quest For Fire
Can't blame Ruben here. He clearly kept the lines open with Park as long as he could before finding a viable replacement (whether that guy is Baez or Contreras remains to be seen, I guess).
It was Park's gamble, and he lost. Unfortunately, the Yankees won, and Park can afford to gamble since his wife is a kajillionaire, not to mention the fact that he stole $60 million from the Rangers.
He'll keep it until he hits a slump….then it probably comes off.
Park and the Phillies did not leave it on good terms. He wanted another shot for something he does not deserve and the Phillies said NO and thats that. He is the loser not us. We have plenty of arms and someone else will step up this team does that well.
I wonder if Park signed with the Yanks for marketing purposes? He is a huge name in South Korea and put that together with the most marketable team in sports and he can make some serious dollars away from the field.
Who cares about Park?? What's going on down there in Clearwater?
I'd rather have Park. I talked to a Yankees fan today, and he didn't seem too thrilled about the Yanks signing Chan Ho for some reason…
I've had a few of those tools j reed gets from Harbor Freight. They're all in the trash now.
jb, Werth carrying the cross was truly funny.
Park, schmark. Poor losers get what they deserve. Who cares about him or the Yanks.
Let's all get behind Contreras.
@George & @Chuck thanks! but i can't take credit for the images, there all viewer submitted!!!
Get your photoshop skills ON!
You do not always get a Phillies feed but you can watch all the games if you have Directv and pay for extra innings package, I live in Vermont, and I find it very worth it, and sometimes it is fun to watch opposing teams announcers, especially the Nats. Those guys are hilarious.
I just hope that Jayson's last supper with the Phillies won't be this year!
Unless Burnett, CC, Pettite, Joba, Hughes all get injured at the same time, Chan Ho Park won't be starting for the Yankees… so suck it Ho! What a dumb move (for him) –good one for the Yankees.
I do find it peculiar that Chan Ho Park decided to go to a team that has a solid rotation with no opening for a 5th starter (Chamberlain or Hughes has that spot). He accepted less money to continue in the bullpen. Knowing Park's desire to start, how odd is that? Oh..and to answer the columnist 's question.."..who would you rather have had for '10: Chan Ho Park or Jose Contreras?" That's a no brainer..Chan Ho Park, of course.
In NY, Park is the 7th option to start. I think desperate times called for desperate measures leading to him taking a lowball deal but with a winner.
If he can pitch out of the pen like he did for the Phils Park, Joba, Mo is a pretty good 7-9 out of the pen for the Yanks.
the teams interested in Park were the TB Rays, Chicago Cubs, and the Yankees
Yankees give him the best chance to win, and the best chance to market himself and pickup lots of random endorsements, etc in NYC . . it was a good move for him
He was great for us last year, wish we still had him. . .but hopefully we have enough guys in the bullpen to pick up the slack
No, the best move for him –if he was actually being sincere– was to go to a team like the Cubs where he could've had the chance to start. He repeatedly said that that was his No.1 priority… that's what makes him look dumb. Apparently his priorities changed…
I think he came to the realization that he wasn't going to start when LAST YEAR the Phillies were the only team that even entertained the thought of giving him a chance . . . .. and THIS YEAR it seems like nobody did
so of those three teams . . he made the move that will benefit him the most with the most off-field opportunities$$$$…and the best shot at another postseason trip
I am still pissed off that Chan Ho Park decided to put his own "celebrity" status ahead of playing for the team that wanted and needed him most, which was us. He's still not being a starter for the Yankees either, and he is getting a lot less in guaranteed money too. And stupid crap like endorsements has to take a backseat to the game of Baseball itself. And besides, it's not like relief pitchers get much in the way of endorsement deals unless they are absolutely elite. His games still aren't going to get played in Korea, because he STILL isn't going to be starting.
haha.. you're really pissed off ??
Who the hell cares.. we would've liked to have him here, but he wanted to go somewhere, so PEACE OUT, CHAN HO
playing in the biggest media market in the world, vs. playing in Philadelphia . . . he'll be all over Chop-Stick and Green Tea wrappers all around NYC
I could care less about Chan Ho Park…The simple fact that he actually THOUGHT he could still start (last I checked, he really sucked at it)..
and turned down a $3M deal….to pitch here…out of the bullpen….for a fanbase that really wanted him (and still does, apparently)..
What does that tell you about the guy??
Was he really THAT delusional that he thought he could get a better deal elsewhere??
Thanks for the effort last year, Chan Ho.. I'll be cheering for you to have success this season…
But when we face you, I hope our lineup kicks your a$$ silly.
I second that Don… PEACE OUT, CHAN HO
never a chan ho fan. didnt he mess up during game 5 of the ws or was it game six?
Correction to Johnny's post. He is not going "from one hitter's park to another." He is moving from a Hitter park to a wiffle ball park. The New Yankees stadium (or at least RF) is just down right offensive. But I agree, peace out Chan Ho, you were a pretty consistant out of the Pen, but as a Starter, you were not worth the money. Good luck going to the AL now. Boston will feast on Park.

Hi there,
I've been breastfeeding my son for a little over 12 months now. I night weaned him about 4 months ago, but he still nurses about 5 or 6 times during the day. I could never feel my letdown until about 2 months ago. Since then it's felt a little uncomfortable, (sometimes pretty uncomfortable) when I have a letdown. But only on the right side, up in my breast close to my armpit.
In the past week or so I've been feeling a little discomfort in that area even when I'm not letting down. And now it's a little bit on both sides (although still more on the right). Has anyone else experienced this? I initially thought it might be a clogged duct, but there's never been any hardness or pain when palpated. And now that I'm feeling it a little bit on the left side too, I'm pretty sure it's not because of a clogged duct. It's not the worst thing in the world but I'm just curious what's going on.

"Thirty Three Quarters"
"Everybody is in badass mode," remarked Heidi Brulport as her motorcycle club, Devils Mustache, was photographed for this picture. "Oh, dear."
This ain't your drunk uncle's motorcycle gang. Forget the shanking, Devils Mustache deals in cute girls, fun boys and party times.
"We were all hanging out anyway," said Trenton Brulport, Heidi's husband and rider of a hand-built Chopper called Lay Lady Lace. "It really was something to talk about, to entertain ourselves."
The group of friends started Devils Mustache last year. They ride, camp, party and wear sweet jean vests — with custom skull embroidery by Heidi, of course. Several of the DM members are artists, musicians and designers, and this week they will host their first art show, "Thirty Three Quarters," at Milk Bar. (Milk Bar's owner, Kareem Jackson, is in a "rival" bike club and a harbinger of the custom bike scene to town.)
Thirty artists, some of whom are professional motorcycle painters, created art on open-faced (also called three-quarter) helmets, which Biltwell donated to the project. The resulting art helmets range from functional to sculptural, badass to beautiful.
The show will travel to Louisville following its stay at Milk Bar. And Devils Mustache will travel to wherever it damn well pleases.
Lindsay Gallery
Carving and painting supernatural scenes into wood is artist John Habela's way of sticking it to his demons. Habela gives utilitarian walking sticks artistic and spiritual value.
"Dreamsticks, as I like to call them, are like magical advertising systems, offering protection from evil," Habela writes about his work for this month's Lindsay Gallery exhibit. "They can be both psychological and physical weapons, keeping you balanced and fending off foes."
The stick sculptures' shapes and lines are guided by the curves of the branches that act as Habela's canvas. Complementing the carvings will be black and white drawings that are direct interpretations of Habela's views of everyday life and the protection we could all use from it now and then.
Sean Christopher Gallery Ohio
Selections from painter Tom Kelly's body of work from the past three years comprise the show "A Shifting World of Light and Darkness." The unique way time curls its fingers of distortion around the memory of historical events and past lives is key to Kelly's paintings. Their multiple stained and over-painted layers, some of which are left to erode as the elements see fit, parallel the way memory warps in time.

Thanks for giving!
Giving back is all important for these entertainers, and I decided to put my money where my (loud) mouth is and participate by donating to both worthy causes on behalf of The River Reporter. Dharma and I will also be on hand (and on-air) at Santa's Village (sponsored by Hilltop Homes) on December 14 and 15 to join the Thunder team, whose mission states that "No child in Thunder Country should be without a toy for the holidays." For more information on the spectacular (and free-to-the-public) holiday village in Monticello, call 845/807-7555.
Donating to Toys for Tots and CASA are only two of the many fine organizations and events scheduled for the season and it is my fervent wish to make many other stops along the way, including some photo-ops of the Santa Express which will be "Spreading the Magic of Christmas with Santa and all his North Pole friends on an annual 100-mile journey through Sullivan County on Santa's lighted and musical sleigh" (www.facebook.comsantaexpress). Mustn't forget that Hannukah is just around the corner (beginning December 8) but first—Thanksgiving!

Rep. Mazie Hirono and former governor Linda Lingle squared off in the KITV studio in a live debate for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Daniel Akaka.
With just three weeks until the election, each candidate came out swinging.
Less than one minute into the debate, Hirono launched into a familiar refrain.
"My Republican opponent's economic priorities, my Republican opponent's plan is exactly the same as Mitt Romney's," said Hirono. "My Republican opponent has joined with the national Republican party."
Lingle stood her ground.
"My opponent has spent this entire campaign attacking national Republicans. These will be the very people we would have to work with to get something done for Hawaii," said Lingle.
When the candidates had a chance to question each other, Hirono, again, pushed Lingle to defend her party.
"Tell me why specifically you believe Mitt Romney would be a better president for Hawaii than President Obama?" asked Hirono.
"Gov. Romney is a person who has, I believe, the proper experience at this time to get the economy back on track and I think that is the number one issue facing the country," responded Lingle.
The former governor accused the congresswoman of doing little to help the state.
"Your entire record of missed votes is twice that of your typical congressional colleague. How can you look our citizens in the eye and claim that your poor attendance and lack of results reflect the local value of hard work?" asked Lingle.
"This is yet another misleading attack on the part of my Republican opponent," responded Hirono.
And as the hour flew by, the attacks kept coming.
"Who can forget Furlough Fridays on her watch or the Superferry fiasco? Or the fact that 2,000 jobs were lost when Aloha Airlines went under -- direct jobs -- while [Lingle] sat on her hands," said Hirono.
"It's just too risky to send my opponent to the Senate. [Hirono]'s not a strong leader, has no history of getting things done and doesn't work well with others," said Lingle.
