Summary of the August 14-15, 2002, Experts Workshop on Public Health Impacts of Sewer Overflows (PDF)
In assessing the human health impact from sewer overflows in the US, initial research revealed that relatively little data were available that linked waterborne illness or other exposures to combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). In response to these challenges, EPA held a Public Health Impacts Experts Workshop on August 14 and 15, 2002. A group of nine external and EPA experts in public health, epidemiology, and wastewater treatment attended the workshop. Observers included representatives of stakeholder groups and EPA personnel. This workshop solicited individual opinions and provided a forum for information exchange related to this Report to Congress.

Fact Sheet: Guidance on Coordinating Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Long-Term Planning with Water Quality Standards Reviews (PDF)
Addresses impediments to implementing the water quality-based provisions in the CSO Policy, and actions that State and Interstate Water Pollution Control Directors and CSO communities should take to overcome these impediments. This guidance describes a process for integrating LTCP development and implementation with the water quality standards review. This process is the essence of EPA's commitment to facilitating the review and revision, as appropriate, of water quality standards for waters affected by CSOs.

Dress Stress: Henry's Answers
Yesterday we reviewed your Top 10 Dress Stresses. And today, Henry gives his solutions to make the gown-picking process as enjoyable as it should be. So put your wedding gown worries behind you and remember that on the day, you will Rock Your Frock!
Stress # 1: Is the dress the right style for my body type?
Henry says: The best way of really knowing is moving away from theory and going into the essential shapes 101 test at your first appointment. Try on the 4 essential shapes which are:
1. Ball gown
2. Empire
3. Straight
4. Mermaid
Within 35 minutes of you trying on the 4 shapes you will see and feel for yourself what shape suits you best. Honestly, it is the best 35 minutes you can spend of your first appointment. It also works really well as it determines once and for all the shapes you thought would work best and the shapes that really do work best for you. It adds to your confidence factor when you walk down the aisle as you know for sure that the shape you choose was best for you.
Stress #2: What will be appropriate for where I am getting married?
Henry says: The best way to answer this is to take yourself "astral travelling." I want you to imagine that you are at your reception and ceremony places. Whether your wedding is on the beach or in a ballroom makes a great deal of difference as to what is most appropriate for you. The most important thing and the fact that stands out second most importantly for brides when finding THE GOWN is comfort. If you can't imagine or " see " yourself in the gown you are trying on, it is not THE Gown. Look and comfort combined are everything That is also where individuality takes over. If your personality calls for glitz and glamour on the beach then it will work. Why? Because you will carry it off. Low key and bling-less for the ball room ? Absolutely if your personality is all about less is more.
Stress #3: How do I set the right wedding dress budget for what I am looking for?
Henry says: Please go to www.theknot.com or www.brides.com… or any of the major bridal website. There you will find bridal budget breakdowns. BEFORE you spend on any item. According to brides from a recent Roth report that we are about to publish in February, brides place their bridal gown above any other item on their bridal list. So make sure that you know what you are allowing for each item and allow a 10-15% wiggle room factor for your dress. Please don't forget, you need to factor in alterations, shoes, veil and headpiece as well as accessories.
Stress #4: How do I make my bridal gown dollar stretch?
Henry says: Here are some helpful hints:-
* If your dress is beaded ask what the reduction would be if it was say 50% and then 100% less beading
* If the dress has a train check what the cost would be without a train
* If the gown has no train ask for the cost of a long veil but make it plain and ethereal and no beading at all
* Does a member of the family know how to do expert bridal alterations?
* If the gown is most important to you then perhaps reduce some flowers in your flower budget, less expensive stationery or reduce the number of guests. It is all about your priorities and give and take.
Stress #5: How will I know it is the right dress?
Henry says: You will feel it. Trust me you will. It's about how you feel and you will know. Listen to your heart. It will speak!
Stress #6: What should I do to prep the night before I go wedding dress shopping?
Henry says: Get a good night's sleep or gather with your GF's and celebrate. Make sure you leave plenty of time before hand to get to your appointment early. Take your pictures that you have printed from the internet and cut out from the bridal magazines and go with an open mind and ready to make your decision that day. It's normal to try the first gown on and after all the others come back to it. If your mother can't be with you and you want her opinion make sure that she knows or knows someone that can work a webcam as most stores now supply that facility and BOY does it take the stress out of making that final decision flawlessly !
Stress #7: How many people do I bring to help me choose my dress?
Henry says: This is not a fashion runway… well it is of sorts (but not really) and so you want to keep the numbers low and meaningful. Your Mum (respect is essential at all times according to my books); your BFF< your siblings ( here comes the respect thing again) and just make sure that you are aware that you are going to get opinions you may not agree with GOOD ! That will help galvanize the decision for you even more. But… at the end of the day it really is up to you.
Stress #8: Who do I listen to when choosing my dress?
Henry says: Your heart
Stress #9: How do I pick the right gown silhouette?
Henry says: After you have done the gowns shape 101 ( Point number 1) you will determine out of the major shapes what is right for you. Then you hone in on it relentlessly until you find THE DRESS!
Stress #10: How do I choose between satin and lace and all the difference options for embellishments?
Henry says: That is determined on what makes you feel and look most glamorous. It is also a personal thing. People love the touch and weight and feel of different fabrics. If you are not sure what they are now, you will be after the gowns 101 session as that will invariably include not just different shapes but also make sure there are different fabrics. It is all about style and comfort. And remember: feeling it is knowing it! Listen to your inner voice and you will have the answers. Trust me!

"I love this show---you truly helped this 'revert' come home to the Church after many years! Your program is an invaluable resource and a source of inspiration. I can't get enough!"
~ Ann Marie
"Deviating from faith, they are implicated in the darkness of perpetual blindness, although they have the day of Christ and the light of the Church before them; while seeing nothing, they open their mouth as if they knew everything, keen for vain things and dull for things eternal."

Dodgers Booster Club, Annual Blood Drive and Dodgers Road Trip
Dodgers Booster Club and the Annual Blood Drive
I went to the Dodgers Booster club last night. I try to attend their monthly meetings but sometimes it interferes with a game at the stadium.
A rep from The Red Cross was there to talk about the annual Blood drive in June where the Dodgers and Angels Booster Club team up to collect blood.
The Blood drive will be Saturday June 19. For those participating, you will get a t-shirt and a voucher for two tickets to your choice of team. Donate blood and Think Blue!
Unfortunately I will not participate as I will be in Boston for the Dodgers/Red Sox games but today we had our blood drive at work.
Another thing that went on at the Booster club meeting, in addition to the raffle of wonderful gifts like a Dodger gnome (I wanted that!), Dodger t-shirts and other Dodger merchandise was a chance to be on the field June 4th for the 1st Pitch. First name picked from the raffle got a choice of being the Pitcher, Catcher, Manager or Umpire. My raffle number was not called but it did get called to be one of the alternates, should someone not be able to make it.
Dodgers on The Road
In the meantime, my Bums are in Arizona for a three-game series. They won the first game. After a day off on Thursday, they will go to San Diego. I will be there for Saturday and Sunday's game. I will be part of a group of 60. The Dodger Booster club also is having another group there of about 150. Lots and lots of Dodger fans make the short trip to San Diego, especially if the Dodgers play there on a weekend.
Saturday the Padres are giving out "Beat LA" t-shirts. Last year it was "Beat LA" towels. Look for Dodger fans to "alter" the wording.
Go Dodgers!
And since Sue of http://rrrt.mlblogs.com/ asked to see a picture of me with my red wig, here it is. Cari is also in the pic. .
Here is also the picture I took of the KABC Dodger Talk announcement.
Update on our trip to San Diego
I just heard from Linda in San Diego that the Padres are not letting her use the word "Dodgers" on our group when is announced on the big screen. This is BS! She made the suggestion to call it "Vin Scully Fan club" I think is a great but I still do not like that we cannot use the word "Dodgers" as part of our group when they flash it on the big screen.

Dear Emma , Enjoy your trip to San Diego and Go Dodgers !
Hey thanks Bluedog! I am thinking about a sign to take to San Diego. Something to do with KCAL since they are broadcasting the game….
Love the red wig!!!! And have a great time in San Diego. Sorry you can't use the word "Dodgers" for your group there. Boooo!
Why doesn't the boost club meet at Dodgers Stadium prior to the game.
You would think the team would go out of its way to get a meeting space ready for such a club that's fundemental reasoning for being is support the boys in blue.
I know the "Maddon's Maniac" club meets before some Saturday games and get some special recognition every now and then….
Love the Hilda wig…..I really got to get a Rays cowbell and send it to you….just for the "Hilda" moments you give all of us.
Rays Renegade
Thanks Jane! My aunt was having second thoughs of going to the game when she saw me with the wig. I should have taken a picture of my aunt. Yeah boo to the Padres for not permitting the word "Dodgers" as part of the group name.
I would say they average between 50 to 100 people at the meetings and they are set as the second Monday of the month no matter what. I guess it would mean buying tix for the meetings, doing the raffle of Dodgers stuff there and then last Monday there was a dinner potluck. Believe me, I wish they could do it at Dodger Stadium or near it. I do have cowbells that I bought at Michaels of all places. Thanks Cliff!
Great pic, Emma! Thanks for the little mention there, too. That does stink that they won't let you use the word "Dodgers" in the group name. Maybe you could call it the Big Blue Booster Club or something like that.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I sorta like that the Pads won't let you use "Dodgers" on their board… sounds like something the Koufaxes and Gibsons would adhere to… very old school. Still, the best way to get at the Padres is to beat them and that isn't such an easy task these days.
Yeah Jeff. I guess not allowing the word "Dodgers" on the board adds fuel. Hopefully we can beat the Padres. I hate the padre cartoon on the screen stomping up and down to the beat of "Beat LA"
Sounds like a LOT of fun!…Always great to hear at Dodgers games @Petco Park " Here we go Dodgers, here we go..clap,clap,clap"…..
I'm sure you will be starting it off!
You're too much my Lil Hilda! Keep road trippn! I haven'y really been to the games yet. I'm hoping to be road tripping soon though. Chicago may be in my future. And I may go to Puerto Rico in June when the Mets play the Marlins in San Juan. My mom said she might want to go.
That is right Rob! i'll be starting one of those chants! And WHEN we win, a few of us will sing "I LOVE LA!"
Wow Mike! Puerto Rico! La isla del encanto! I hope you and your mom get to go!
That stinks about the "Dodgers" word ban. The Giants have a pay-per message thing where you can send a big screen message to anyone between innings. While I was at a game in San Fran, one of the messages said, "Utley should die." Personally, I think whoever let that one pass should be fired. But just the word "Dodgers?" That is silly to ban that!
That is so wrong and you are right, that person should have gotten fired to let that go BUT I saw a sign last time I was in San Francisco that read "A GOOD DODGER IS A DEAD DODGER" and they let it inside the stadium! Somewhere in my older camera, I have a picture of that sign in the bleacher.
Hola Emma, hacia tiempo que no visitaba tu blog. Espero entrar más a menudo. Déjame saber cuando estes en Boston, yo estoy pensando ir en junio a ver un juego en Fenway, así que a lo mejor podemos coincidir y ver el juego juntos si deseas. Un saludo.
you voy a estar en Boston para los tres juegos contra los Dodgers! no estoy segura donde me estoy sentando ya que es parte de un grupo pero cuando lo sepa te avisare. Saludos!
Road trips are a blast. Have a great time. You can check out pics from my Minor League road trip if you get a chance.
'Minoring In Baseball'
The word Dodgers should be banned from all stadiums…. LOL just kidding… you have to understand I guess the Padres play in a stadium named after a Pet Store and the owner is the proud owner of a huge growing debt with no bail out option, can they really be that picky… hmmmm that's San Diego for you…
Phillies Outside
Not even the word "Blue" can be used in the name. That is RIDICULOUS! I think you got something there with your theory.
Wonder what I should do with their "Beat LA" t-shirt.
What should you do with the " Beat L.A " t-shirt?
No brainer.
Burn it on video and post it to your blog 🙂
BIG win by the relief squad last night. They came up huge.
You were good luck Emma!
have fun in san diego!
I passed through san diego once and saw the stadium in the freeway.
Beat LA t shirts? lol how funny that you are going on that day
I'll be in SF in late July on " Orange Friday ". They will be handing out " Beat L.A. " towels that evening. Personally, I don't mind the BEAT L.A. chant, I see it as a compliment, especially in SF, where they yell it with such anger….. Other than the Dodgers and Lakers, do opposing fans ever yell that to any of our other teams ? I mean, really, when was the last time you heard anyone yell BEAT L.A. to the Clippers ? Should be fun. Oh yeah, something I and maybe you may have got from the Dodgers facebook app
Let's keep it goin'.
Lots of things were done to the t-shirts. Ripped them, throw them away, we heard that someone stuffed one in a toilet, and just alter them.
It just happened that way. Last year it was the Beat LA towels.
Yep! Let's keep it going.
On the way home, we started talking about a trip to SF so maybe I'll run into you!

We expected a lot of our stay at Coretta at NY. But a lot went wrong.
When we arrived we had to wait for 1.5 hour in front of th appartment because she didn't answer her phone and she forgot our arrival time.
We found a cockroach in the bathtub.
Our toilet was clogged.
We couldn't store our luggage. She only wanted to meet us again to pick up the luggage at a certain hour, but we wouldn't take the risk anymore. So as far as the luggage storage is concerned: you don't have any cotrol of you luggage at all.
NY is a great city, this appartment and especially the service wasn't at all.
Very nice apartment, excellent location as close to the metro and very helpful host. We can highly recommend this apartment
Lovely apartment with a nice decoration, clean, quiet and functional in Brooklyn. Near the metro station Nostrand Avenue, so it's very easy to go to Manhattan. I'd add that Coretta is a very nice person ! For my first time to United States, it was perfect ! I highly recommend this renting !
Everything was fine! I would definitely stay here again!
Coretta was really nice and there were some city and subway maps in the apartment waiting for us. The neighbourhood was safe. There were 3 locked doors between the street and the apartment but there was never any reason for concern, even when we were walking back to our apartment late at night. The neighboorhood is actually really worth exploring too; there are some nice restaurants and coffee places close by!
The apartment itself had everything you would need, it looked newly furnished and everything worked.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was the noise at night (but thats just Brooklyn) and the heat coupled with the kinda noisy air conditioner which we couldn't turn on during the night for that reason.
Coretta was very helpful and pleasant giving us lots of info about how to move within the city and locally.
The apartment was lovely and warm and well equipped if needing some updating.
Just as in photos.
The position is great for visiting the city. No problem moving around.
Coretta assured us that the area was safe even though our taxi driver did his best to make us fearful. A predominantly black population of whom all we met and spoke to in the area were always kind and helpful.
Great supermarket close by. Metro 5mins walk with line direct to centre.
Maybe this is not the best time to visit NY as cold and wet or snowy.
Good connection to to JFK airport. No need for taxi.
Thank you Coretta for a lovely stay.
Beautiful family apartment downstairs newly done up. Highly recommend.
Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt. Coretta war sehr kommunikativ und hatte auf jede Frage eine Antwort parat. Die Gegend ist sicherlich nicht sehr einladend, jedoch hatten wir nie ein unangenehmes Gefühl. Zur Metro sind es ca. 6 Minuten Fußweg und der Bus hält direkt vor der Haustüre.
Die Wohnung war sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Der Kühlschrank war bei unserer Ankunft mit Wasser und Orangensaft gefüllt. Mit der Bahn sind es ca. 15 Minuten bis in die Stadt. Empfehlenswert bei gutem Wetter: an der letzten Haltestelle des A Trains in Brooklyn aussteigen und zu Fuß über die Brooklyn Bridge laufen. Tolles Panorama!!
Appartement très bien situé dans un quartier vivant mais au calme. Il est très propre. La cuisine est bien équipée. Coretta est accueillante et arrangeante. Très bon séjour.
Seule la douche ne fonctionnait pas très bien.
Dejligt sted tæt på subway og nemt at finde. Wifi virker glimrende - er rart når man har unge mennesker med og når man skal søge efter seværdigheder. Vi fik anvist stort supermarked tæt på som havde ALT, hvad vi havde brug for.
In een echte Brooklyn straat werden we laat in de avond door de taxi afgezet. Coretta , de gastvrouw, was er binnen de paar minuten toen we haar belden. Het appartement is op de 3e verdieping . De airco stond helaas uit op deze warme dag . We gebruikten het appartement voor 6 nachten. Het bed kraakt wel flink maar sliep goed. Keuken klein maar afdoende voor 2 personen .Op 10 minuten was er een grote 'foodmarket' en de A lijn van de metro . Prima betaalbaar verblijf in deze geweldige stad. Onze bagage mocht de laatste dag beneden staan en toen we Coretta belden kwam ze alsnog met de sleutel . Fijn geregeld !

The shooter who opened fire Thursday in a Minneapolis sign company was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the city's deputy police chief told The Associated Press.
Police had previously said at least two people were killed and four were wounded during the afternoon shootings at Accent Signage Systems, the AP had reported.
"We do have several victims inside that are dead," Minneapolis Police Deputy Chief Kris Arneson said during an evening news conference two blocks from the company, according to the AP.
But when pressed to say how many were dead, the wire service said Arneson refused and said police were still investigating.
She also wouldn't release details about the victims, but said the shooter's body was found inside the building, the AP reported.

Intel Corp. on Friday said it plans to acquire Havok, the company that is primarily known for its physics engines used across a variety of applications. The move, according to the world's largest maker of chips, will help the company to develop "visual computing and graphics" products. The takeover will not affect ongoing projects of Havok, such as physics engine for graphics processing units (GPUs).
"Havok is a proven leader in physics technology for gaming and digital content, and will become a key element of Intel's visual computing and graphics efforts. Havok will operate its business as usual, which will allow them to continue developing products that are offered across all platforms in the industry," said Renee J. James, vice president and general manager of Intel's Software and Solutions Group.
Havok's modular suite of software development tools is used by game and digital animation creators to build realistic video games for all types of hardware and digitally animated movies. The company's combination of technology and dedication to customers has led to its technology being used in more than 150 of the world's best-known game titles, including BioShock, Stranglehold, Halo 2, Half Life 2, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Crackdown, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, MotorStorm and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. In addition, Havok products have been used to create special effects in movies such as Poseidon, The Matrix,
The acquisition of Havok is expected to allow Intel Corp. to ensure that Havok's software physics engines are tailored for the company's hardware, including multi-core central processing units, high-performance Larrabee processors as well as rumoured graphics processing units. The software company itself is likely to get additional funding from Intel, which will allow it to offer even more complex products.
Havok will be a wholly owned Intel subsidiary and continue to operate as an independent business working with its customers in developing digital media content. Havok was founded in 1998 in
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Even an immediate and dramatic cut in global greenhouse gas emissions would not fully prevent
climate change impacts. The climate system responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels with a
time lag, in part because of the oceans' thermal inertia. Past and present emissions have already
committed the earth to at least some climate change in the 21st century. Natural ecosystems and human
societies will be sensitive to both the magnitude and the rate of this change. Therefore, while
controlling emissions is vital, it must be combined with efforts to minimize damage through
The most vulnerable ecological and socio-economic systems are those with the greatest sensitivity
to climate change and the least ability to adapt. Sensitivity is the degree to which a system
will respond to a given change in climate; it measures, for example, how much the composition,
structure, and functioning of an ecosystem will respond to a given temperature rise. Adaptability is
the degree to which systems can adjust in response to, or in anticipation of, changed conditions.
Vulnerability defines the extent to which climate change may damage or harm a system; this depends
not only on the system's sensitivity, but on its ability to adapt.
Ecosystems that are already under stress are particularly vulnerable. Many ecosystems are
sensitive to humanity's management practices and increasing demands for resources. For example,
human activities may limit the potential of forest ecosystems for adapting naturally to climate
change. Fragmentation of ecosystems will also complicate human efforts to assist adaptation, for
example by creating migration corridors.
Social and economic systems tend to be more vulnerable in developing countries with weaker
economies and institutions. In addition, people who live in arid or semi-arid lands, low-lying
coastal areas, flood-prone areas, or on small islands are at particular risk. Greater population
densities in many parts of the world have made some sensitive areas more vulnerable to hazards such
as storms, floods, and droughts.
Adapting to climate change can be a spontaneous or planned act. Individuals, businesses,
governments, and nature itself will often adapt to climate change impacts without any external help.
In many cases, however, people will need to plan how to minimize the costs of negative impacts and
maximize the benefits from positive impacts. Planned adaptation can be launched prior to, during, or
after the onset of the actual consequences.
Six general strategies are available for adapting to climate change. Measures can be taken in
advance to prevent losses, for example by building barriers against sea-level rise or reforesting
degraded hillsides. It may be possible to reduce losses to a tolerable level, including by
redesigning crop mixes to ensure a guaranteed minimum yield under even the worst conditions. The
burden on those directly affected by climate change can be eased by spreading or sharing losses,
perhaps through government disaster relief. Communities can also change a use or activity that is no
longer viable, or change the location of an activity, for example by re-siting a hydro-electric power
utility in a place where there is more water or relocating agricultural activities from steep hill
slopes. Sometimes it may be best to restore a site, such as an historical monument newly vulnerable
to flood damage.
Successful strategies will draw on ideas and advances in law, finance, economics, technology,
public education, and training and research. Technological advances often create new options for
managed systems such as agriculture and water supply. However, many regions of the world currently
have limited access to new technologies and to information. Technology transfer is essential, as is
the availability of financial resources. Cultural, educational, managerial, institutional, legal, and
regulatory practices are also important to effective adaptation, at both the national and
international levels. For example, the ability to incorporate climate change concerns into
development plans can help ensure that new investments in infrastructure reflect likely future
Many adaptation policies would make good sense even without climate change. Present-day
climatic variability, including extreme climatic events such as droughts and floods, already causes a
great deal of destruction. Greater efforts to adapt to these events could help to reduce damage in
the short term, regardless of any longer-term changes in climate. More generally, many policies that
promote adaptation – for example by improving natural resource management or bettering social
conditions – are also vital for promoting sustainable development. Despite such synergies,
however, it is clear that adaptation will also involve real costs and will not prevent all of the
expected damage.
Crafting adaptation strategies is complicated by uncertainty. It is still not possible to
quantify with any precision the likely future impacts on any particular system at any particular
location. This is because climate change projections at the regional level are uncertain, current
understanding of natural and socio-economic processes is often limited, and most systems are subject
to many different interacting stresses. Knowledge has increased dramatically in recent years, but
research and monitoring will remain essential for gaining a better understanding of potential impacts
and the adaptation strategies needed to deal with them.

Great Article, to bad the question never came up of how long would it take for these two players to MESH together? Or would you breakup the chemistry that Curry have with David Lee as a STARTER to see how well Zach & Curry will mesh in the starting lineup at the Start of this season?
The Twin Towers lineups of other players that was given in the Article were Defense & Offense Twin Towers, Parish was a hard defender not a scorer, Olyjuwan was a Blockshot Artist that can score, David Robinson was challenging Mutombo 4 blockshots per game each season with 3 blockshots per game.
Curry & Zach dont compare to any of the TWIN TOWERS mentioned.
The Curry & Zach Tandem this up comming season is only good when you are changing defensive players int offensive players for a score in the late quarters.
The Curry & Lee Tandem is one of the Best Bigman tandems in the Eastern Conference with SF-Q.Rich or SF-Balkman.
This was proven last season.
Zach can not top the meshing of Curry & Lee any time soon this season.
The only thing Zach got above Lee is scoring...

The lineup change was pretty good except for one thing: He benched the wrong big man! Zach took it like a man, came off the bench and still managed to put up 22 and 9. Lee should def start for the remainder of the season, but it should be him and Zach starting together.
I didn't think Q held down the sg position last night. You can tell he was happy about being able to let it fly but someone should have reminded him that the ball needs to go into the hoop and not land in some fans lap.
Crawford played a good game with 29 and 8 dimes but i think he shot too much overall. Nate should never be benched. He took Jameer to school and showed why he is one of the best 6th men in the league.
I liked inserting jeffries in the starting lineup because he applies defensive pressure on the opponent from the start and he's great on help defense.
EDDY MCFLURRY - What the hell is up with this slouch? First of all he shouldn't have even started but since Isaiah was gracious enough to spare him he repayed him by going out and picking up 2 quick fouls. You can tell Isaiah was pissed. Honestly, it must have been embarrassing for McFlurry to sit damn near the whole game and watch his team compete righ up until his loaf of bread ass came in and let ORL get offensive rebounds and easy interior baskets. I am no longer an Eddy Curry fan, he is a SUCKER!
Good job with the lineup change Isaiah, just insert Zach for McFlurry and I think it works better. Get ready Randolph Morris, your time may be coming sooner than you thought.
What's up with Balkman's minutes???????

Julio Ernesto Estrada) when he was a teenager and soon joined the salsa player's band, Fruko Y Sus Tesos. In the 1980s, Arroyo pursued a solo career. He established a unique tropical sound called ... James Cotton On World Cafe By editor • Sep 5, 2013 Harmonica master James Cotton is a giant of the blues. Born in 1935 on a cotton plantation in Tunica, Miss., he learned the instrument from Sonny Boy Williamson, who had a radio program right across the river in West Helena, Ark.

Youth Lagoon On World Cafe By editor • Sep 4, 2013 Youth Lagoon is the work of Boise, Idaho's Trevor Powers. The title of his first album, 2011's The Year of Hibernation , captures what was going on: a solo bedroom project that explored the theme of emerging from isolation. It sounded great, and the positive response got Powers out of the bedroom and on the road for a year. After touring, he went back to Boise and the bedroom to work on a new album, Wondrous Bughouse . The recording process was different, though, as he... Houndmouth On World Cafe By editor • Sep 3, 2013 Houndmouth is a rootsy rock band from New Albany, Ind., right across the river from Louisville.

My doctor told me it is because I am still nursing, and I wanted to get other mothers advice on what their thoughts were. It took me a year and a half to get pregnant with my first and we always wanted our kids around 2 years a part.

West Bend police make arrests in 2 heroin deaths
Men being held on $45,000 bail
West Bend police have dealt with two fatal heroin overdoses in less than a week.
Jennifer Kahut, 34, was found dead in her apartment from a heroin overdose last Wednesday. The next day, police arrested a 35-year-old man from West Bend and a 36-year-old Milwaukee man accused of supplying Kahut with heroin.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported the men are being held on $45,000 bail.
On Saturday, 20-year-old Matthew Vickman was found dead in his room from a heroin overdose after his mother contacted police to say she couldn't contact her son. Later that day police arrested a 22-year-old West Bend man suspected of supplying Vickman with heroin. Charges are pending.

Let me tell U about "Q"
Omar Quintanilla
I've yet to talk to a Rockies fan that doesn't like Omar Quintanilla. I managed to get "Q's" autograph back in June of 2006. His was my first pro-baseball player's autograph and I remember it well.
He was humble and seemed quite happy to be there.
"Q" attended Socorro High School in El Paso, Texas, where he led the city of El Paso in home runs, RBI, and was elected to the Texas All-State shortstop. When he finished High School he received a scholarship to the University of Texas, Austin. While there he played second base, third base, and shortstop. In addition he appeared in two national championship games, winning one.
Quintanilla wasted no time as he was drafted by the Oakland A's in the first round (33rd overall) of the 2003 Major Leage Baseball Draft. . In 2003, he played for Low-A Vancouver and High-A Modesto hitting .358 in 40 games.
He started 2004 with Modesto as the A's 7th ranked prospect and after hitting .315 received a late-season promotion to Double-A Midland.
"Q" began 2005 with Midland as the A's 8th ranked prospect and on July 15, he was traded along with Eric Byrnes to the Rockies for pitchers Joe Kennedy and Jay Witasick.
The Rockies assigned him to Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox and promoted him to the majors in late July.
He made his debut on July 31 and went 1-3. In each of the next five seasons, Quintanilla would begin the season with Triple-A Colorado Springs and make his way to the majors.
"Q's" highest batting average was .238 in 2008. As a Rockie he's a career .220 hitter.
Dante Bichette, Ryan Spilborghs and Omar Quintanilla are the only players in Rockies franchise history to end a game of 12 or more innings with a home run (Bichette did it twice).
Quote from "Q" in 2009…."You never know and especially my role, the utility role, you never know when I'm going to be needed."
Quintanilla was outrighted off the 40 man roster on Nov 5, 2009.
On Feb 12, 2010 "Q" was invited back to attend Rockies Spring Training.
Props to you brotha and welcome back. You've got to admit "Q" lives a pretty good life as a Utility Man… 🙂
On a totally surprising and cool note I got a call from my pops today who informed me that he and my mom were in Tucson. I said "Whatcha doing there?" and he informed me that they were at Hi-Corbett watching the Rockies/Mariners game.
I was floored and jealous. After I hung up that got me to thinking. Robert is at that game too and he could take a picture of my parents for me. Sure enough I called Robert and asked him to do that for me and he said "Sure".
So I may not be there representing in Tucson but you got the next best thing.
My Mom and Dad.
You've got to respect a guy who's smart enough to sport a fine hat like that 🙂
Thanks for taking the pictures Robert…
Go Rockies

Hey D,
First of all…..LUV Q! There's just nothing to not like about the guy! Would luv to get his autograph!
Super cool that your 'rents are at ST. Gah! I'm so jealous! (Oh and nice hat🙂 )
Didn't know much about this guy, but I sure learned about it from this post. I feel like you always have a connection with your first autograph, or at least you'll ALWAYS remember that one. I feel that way with Jed Lowrie, who also happens to be a utility man.
My first autograph was also a relatively obscure latin middle infielder. Jays SS/2B Nelson Liriano. You always remember the first, and they are usually from unlikely players. Unless you refuse to get just any MLB signature and hold out for a notable one. As a kid, I was just happen I got a ball player to sign something!
R-LUV-Everybody loves "Q" that's why I gave him some props. Nobody was more surprised that my parents were sitting in the stands than me…Made my day.
ELIZABETH-Agreed you never forget your first🙂
HOMIE-Sup..I was honored to have "Q" as my first autograph. I still get a rush everytime I get something signed by a player, I hope that never changes…D
"Q" is an amazing player!! Glad to see him play. My first actual autgraph was Bo Jackson. He was doing a signing somewhere and my grandparents brought me down to get the autograph. The coolest though has got to be Derek Lowe's. I was outside Fenway before a game, and a bunch of kids were around him. I snuck into the crowd, and he accidently stepped on my foot!! He apologized, asked if I was ok and signed my Fenway Park Tour ticket!!
HOLLY-Bo Jackson, now there's a cool autograph. Bet that's a great memory with your grandparents helping you obtain it. I figure a step on the foot is worth a Derek Lowe autograph anyday…D
Quintanilla is a good player and its nice knowing he is there if we need him!!! My first autograph was the GOOSE!! I am from Colorado Springs and he is from there so not that hard to get haha. Also was coached by his brother and nephew while I was in High School. I recently got Ian Stewart's autograph last season. I feel your pain about spring training! I knew some people who were down there this past week and it killed me!!! So Jealous!! Anyway, great picture of your parents and I enjoy reading the Rant!!
DEWDROP-Welcome to the Rant. Very cool that Goose was your first. I'll be at the Sky Sox game on Aug 7(my birthday) for Goose Gossage Day. If all goes well I hope to get his autograph then.

Classified Staff Council
August 8, 2007
The Annual Meeting of the Bluefield State College Classified Staff Council was called to order at 1:33 pm in the Basic Science Auditorium by Lisa Neel, Chair, presiding.
Members Present: Lisa Neel, Chair Daniel Frost Deirdre Guyton
Jane Richardson Lori Dials Fred Hardee
Dawn Surbaugh Ken Mandeville Susan Shrader
Jeff Noe Bill Lusk Rebecca Martin
Anita Davis Terry Thompson Marviene Johnson
Kendra Blanton Scott Pitt Tom Harrison, Vice-Chair
Michelle Noe Carol Baldwin
Invited Guests: Dr. Albert Walker, President
Mrs. Leah Taylor, Human Resources Director
Dr. Walker informed those present of the situation involving the Title III monies the institution lost due to the NRCTC/BSC split. The institution will not receive the $1.3M lost, but we will receive $952+K. He has met numerous times with legislators and they have prepared a resolution to that effect. They are now seeking to add it to the base sum instead of receiving a lump sum. Other information is as follows:
- The Classified Staff Council was returned to the chair today with some corrections.
• In Athletics there are some coaching vacancies being filled by the Athletic Director (Terry Brown).
• In the Cabinet Retreat:
o Student numbers in high school are declining (particularly males)
o More females are being hired (30-60%) as presidents of institutions of higher learning
o Men are no longer majoring in education
o Beckley Center (Education Mall) is scheduled to open August 20. The Inspector thinks that it is not a good idea to open. Eight institutions are included in the mall with NRCTC as the lead institution, but there will be no NRCTC/BSC administrator's at the facility. The facility is named after Senator Byrd's late wife.
o Reaffirmation visit for North Central Accreditation. They are or will begin working on this in late fall early spring. The institution will be up for reaccreditation in 2012.
o Recruiting and Retention
Page 1 of 5
- Up 70% and we will continue to recruit within a three hour radius of the institution.
- • August 15th will be the Faculty/Staff Institute. Please encourage all to attend.
- • Dr. Walker also reminded staff that he believes in participatory governance, thus he has an open door policy—extending the invitation to all to visit. He wants to be more involved with the campus.
- • Budget—this year the Board of Governors has requested a copy of the budget. A copy of the budget will be placed in the library for all to view.
- • Personnel
- o Looking at a more diverse search committee. Wants more people form different aspects of the college to participate.
- o Hired a new Director of Multicultural Affairs.
- o Mission now is to continue with terminal degrees. Looking to raise the bar of those holding terminal degrees to 80%. Right now 65% of faculty holds terminal degrees. 67% is required for university status.
- • Board of Governors
- o Attorney James J. Palmer, III is the new chair
- o Attorney Norris Kantor is the vice-chair
- • Mentioned that BSC is here for one reason and that is to serve the students. If there are no students, then the institution would not exist.
- • Asks that each of us become a mentor
- • Strategic Plan
- o Dr. Tracey Anderson has formed a committee that has been meeting. As soon as the document is complete, we will be able to go online and view. Other institutions are doing this and he thinks that we should as well. This will tell us what other institutions of our size are doing.
*This ended Dr Walker's portion of the meeting and he asked for Questions. There were numerous questions and discussions. The chair thanked Dr. Walker for his attendance and information.
Ms. Leah Taylor, Director of Human Resources was our next guest to speak. She stated that one of her goals was:
• Hiring Policy
o She wanted a consistency in hiring.
Before she could go into her presentation concerning the Grievance Procedures, she took questions and discussions from those staff members in attendance. Many were concerned about the numerous open positions that were still vacant at the institution and why they had not been filled. Discussion followed. Three positions that were asked about were:
- Director of Campus Life,
- Director of Physical Plant and
Page 2 of 5
- Switchboard Operator. We learned that this position was moved to the Security Office permanently.
Another question posed was the updating of the Employee Handbook. Discussion followed and that is a goal of hers (Ms. Taylor) because some of the policies are so old and antiquated. We also discussed promoting from within and why the morale is low on the campus.
We also discussed the fact that the same people are on the hiring committees all the time. Mrs. Taylor suggested that a list of staff members who would want to be placed on the selection committee be compiled. Discussion followed. The chair stated that she would assist in compiling a list of classified employees wanting to serve on those committees.
Due to time, the chair thanked Mrs. Taylor for her attendance.
Moving on in the agenda, the past secretary stated that she did not bring the minutes to this meeting. She would complete them and bring them to the next meeting.
Business Meeting
Business Meeting
• Old Business
o Classified Staff Council Constitution—was emailed to Dr. Walker and he had handed it to the chair before the meeting. He corrected the grammatical errors and she stated that would email it to us to review.
o Wall of Fame—Michelle Noe stated that she had made a couple of calls, but had not had a formal meeting.
• New Business
- Reports
o Board of Governors—there was none in July; in the June meeting officers were elected. Nothing major went on. There was discussion about salary/merit pay and Mr. Frost said that he reminded the Board that they could not give faculty a pay raise without giving classified one as well. He stated that they did not know how they were going to distribute merit pay and he did not know if they could do merit pay until the salary scale was fully funded. Discussion followed.
o Personnel Development—Michelle Noe reported that there were a few request and she raised an issue with one. She asked the council how much of an issue should she raise. The issue was that the policy reads that personnel development would issue on three credit hours up to but not exceeding $1000.00 per semester for personnel development funds. You can do a BOG waiver for three additional credit hours. There was a person that requested five credit hours that would go over the maximum of the $1, 000.00. They were only requesting the $1K, and when she (Michelle) questioned the policy, she was told that, "We've always done it that way." Discussion followed.
Page 3 of 5
o ACCE—had a meeting with Margaret Buttrick and the Vice-Chancellor to discuss the grievance procedures. If you file a grievance and choose to go into arbitration you may have to bear some of the cost. The Vice-Chancellor has his personnel study going around and he would like to bring him to the campus for discussion, but he will not bring him in with only five people in attendance. It deals with revamping of personnel procedures. (Compensation for education, etc.) ACCE has set its agenda for what they are going to pursue this year. WVU has the Step 0; now they have come up with the money to fund fully the salary schedule Discussion followed. The next meeting will be August 27th.
o Flower fund—no report
o Social/Activities Committee—we met and are working on some things. One was a turkey dinner at Thanksgiving; we are working on Spotlighting each department, Jane is working on that with WalMart, Chic-fil-A, etc. One comment was made that once the council was working on bringing in lunch and was told that they could not do it. Discussion followed.
o Wellness Committee—no report.
- An issue brought up is the fact that persons elected to the council not attending the meetings. Discussion followed. It was decided that we would address this issue at the September meeting and would start taking action on this issue then and at the December meeting readdress the issue. Discussion followed.
- Also, we would like to meet before the Board of Governors meet to review their agenda just in case we may have issues that we would like to have brought up.
- Another issue brought was the fact that the secretary was recording the meetings—for her benefit in doing the minutes, however, she asked the council did they want her to do that, download them and send them to each member or make them available. Discussion followed. Seeing that Dr. Walker had stated that one of the things that North Central would want to make sure that everything is documented. Discussion followed.
Next meeting: September 19, 2007 at 1:30 pm. The chair will send out an all users. Without any further business, it was moved (DGuyton) that the chair adjourn the meeting at 3:46 pm.
Submitted by,
Deirdre Guyton, Secretary

App Recommendation - SkyDrive
Posted on December 13, 2011
Today Microsoft released their SkyDrive app for iOS. With 25GB of free storage in cloud storage, you can sync documents across web browsers and your iOS devices. It also makes uploading a ton of pictures a whole lot easier, because you just have to add them to the SkyDrive, then download them onto any computer with a web browser. You can share files with friends, and it lets you choose whether they can view or edit. The interface is easy to use and understand, and you cannot beat 25GB for free. You just need a Windows Live ID, but you can use your own email address to make it easy.

Partners Support "Green" Center of Learning
On August 25, 2010, the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center opened its doors to visitors for the very first time. Yellowstone now has a special place dedicated to helping us understand and appreciate the complexity of the hydrothermal features and the volcanic activity that defines the Park. Not only are the exhibits innovative, but the building itself is a model of sustainable construction. A true public-private partnership, the Yellowstone Park Foundation contributed $15 million of the $27 million needed to create the Center and its exhibits, and roughly half of that $15 million came in the form of corporate contributions.
Major cash or in-kind donations were made by the following companies:
During the peak summer season, the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center (OFVEC) will welcome nearly 25,000 visitors each day with interactive, hands-on exhibits. While the primary goal of the Center is learning about Yellowstone's amazing and rare hydrothermal features, it also showcases the Park's commitment to environmental practices.
The OFVEC is the first visitor center in Yellowstone -- and one of the first in any national park -- to earn the U.S. Green Building Council's Gold LEED Certification.
LEED stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, and the certification is based on a system that awards points in a variety of categories such as water and energy conservation, air quality, and use of sustainable construction materials.
Some of the "green" features of the new Center include a design that allows for a reduced heated space during winter months, low-energy lighting, and native landscaping that relies on rain and snow -- not irrigation -- for moisture. The OFVEC will use approximately 1/3 less energy than other structures of similar size and function.
Flooring, wall coverings, and exhibit components are made from raw materials such as cork, flax, and wheat, which regrow rapidly and are therefore more sustainable than many other resources. Other materials used to build the structure include certified sustainable wood, locally obtained materials, and a high percentage of recycled materials. In fact, the roof shingles may look like wood but they are actually rubber, made from recycled tires!
Check out photos of the building in progress and learn why the construction process itself demonstrated the project's high green standards.
A Lot of Help from Our Friends
Plans for the Old Faithful Visitor Education Center (OFVEC) have been in the works since the 1990s. It had become clear that the existing visitor center at the time was too small to accommodate the Park's increased level of visitation. It did nothing to enhance understanding about the natural wonders preserved in Yellowstone, and it was starting to fail structurally and mechanically.
At that time, Yellowstone National Park approached the Yellowstone Park Foundation for support that would be necessary to make this more than the ordinary visitor center. The Park wanted to create a true center of learning, make it large enough to accommodate exhibits, and make it a model of sustainability. They knew that they would need to supplement federal funding in order to make this vision a reality.
In 1999, before the Foundation even went public with its ambitious $15-million capital campaign, longtime Yellowstone partner Unilever stepped in and made a large leadership gift and inspired others to give. Soon after, ConocoPhillips, a steadfast friend of the Foundation, made what was to be the largest corporate gift to the OFVEC. A few years later, Coca-Cola demonstrated their commitment to youth education with a major gift to the project.
In 2004, a $1-million donation from Toyota to the Yellowstone Park Foundation, combined with guidance from Toyota building engineers, made it possible for Yellowstone to set an even higher standard for sustainability than originally planned. Toyota developed expertise in this area when building its own Gold LEED-Certified U.S. headquarters in 2003. At the time, it was the largest environmentally friendly commercial building in the country.
The Yellowstone Park Foundation expresses its deep gratitude to all the corporate partners for giving so generously, and for sharing our vision of an Old Faithful Visitor Education Center that is truly extraordinary. By providing around half of the funding toward the $15-million capital campaign goal, corporate partners gave an enormous gift not just to Yellowstone, but to the American people.

Birth Control
From a message posted on Facebook:
Is the pill safe? The International Agency for Research on Cancer in a 2007 study made by 21 scientists reported that the pill causes cancer, giving it the highest level of carcinogenicity, the same as cigarettes and asbestos. It also causes stroke, and significantly increases the risk of heart attacks. Several scientific journals have stated that the natural way of regulating births through the Billings Ovulation Method has no side-effects, and is 99.5 % effective.
The Billings Ovulation Method (BOM) is a method of natural family planning where women are taught to recognize when they have ovulated by examining their cervical mucus, allowing them to avoid intercourse during fertile periods or conversely, to have intercourse during fertile periods when pregnancy is desired. We used to call people who used the rhythm method "parents," but BOM is more reliable than older abstinence methods.
I'm a big fan of oral contraceptives. They contributed to women's liberation by giving us a reliable method of planning, delaying, or avoiding pregnancy. They also have medical uses that go beyond contraception. Birth control pills (BCPs) have had such an important impact that they are known as simply "The Pill." We have always known they were not 100% risk free; but we also know they are less risky than pregnancy itself. There are other methods of birth control; but they are generally less effective and less convenient. For those who want permanent solutions, tubal ligation and vasectomy are available; but even they have occasional failures. What does science tell us about the effectiveness and safety of BCPs as compared to other methods? (more…)

About this set: This is the first perfect 10 set 1988 Maxx Charlotte Master set. What makes this set to tough to get perfect is the Mentions 100 Cover Card. This card is only available in the boxed factory set. To make it worse, the card is on top of the other cards in the box with absolutely no padding, making it very susceptible to damage. Combined with the vibration of being on top, very bad centering issues and a blue border, finding gem mint examples of this card is almost next to impossible. I bought this set in 1988 from Bill Elliott's souvenir trailer at Talladega. This was the very first racing card set I had ever seen and purchased it for $25. I remember my wife opening up the set as we were stuck in traffic leaving Talladega and showing me the cards. The 1988 Maxx Charlotte set contains more rookies than any other racing set.

For more than 10 years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and OCLC have partnered to deliver programs that help libraries evolve their services to meet new community needs. Together, we created WebJunction, the learning place for libraries, and Geek the Library, a community awareness campaign. With renewed funding and partnership, both programs will continue to champion library staff and amplify the value of libraries in the communities they serve.
WebJunction: supporting librarians as they learn and lead
Recently, OCLC received a $4.1 million grant from the Gates Foundation to support five years of ongoing operations of WebJunction, the learning place for libraries.
The new grant will support OCLC's continued development of the programs, content and systems of WebJunction.org, and provide long-term sustainability of services that will help libraries thrive in changing and challenging technological environments today and into the future.
"Together, our goal has been to equip these libraries with the technologies and skills needed to change lives and strengthen communities through access to information."
"Since 2002, we have worked with OCLC to ensure that public libraries—especially small and rural public libraries—have had the resources they need to be portals to vital information," said Deborah Jacobs, Director of Global Libraries at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. "Together, our goal has been to equip these libraries with the technologies and skills needed to change lives and strengthen communities through access to information."
"Over these 10 years we have seen how offering technical assistance and training to library staff through the WebJunction.org online community can help us accomplish this goal and make a powerful difference in the effectiveness of a library," said Ms. Jacobs. "In these tough economic times, libraries are more of an essential community resource than ever. This grant will help them, many of whom face shrinking budgets, stay up to speed."
"The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and OCLC have developed an outstanding partnership based on our mutual interest and shared passion to help libraries succeed," said Cathy De Rosa, OCLC Vice President for the Americas and Global Vice President of Marketing. "As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of WebJunction, we are grateful to the Gates Foundation for their continued support and to the library staff members who have built WebJunction into a vital hub for public libraries to gather and share best practices, experiences and expertise."
Built with grant funding from the Gates Foundation and launched in 2003, WebJunction.org provides a range of resources—including online courses, webinar presentations, downloadable curricula and best practices from libraries—to share the knowledge, skills and support that librarians and library staff need to manage their libraries. Its programs and content have been used by staff in 69 percent of U.S. public libraries. From July 2011 through June 2012, staff enrolled in more than 19,000 courses, and more than 17,000 staff members registered for 26 free webinar programs offered on trends in the library profession.
"Library staff must keep their skills current to face the evolving needs of library users," said Sharon Streams, Senior Manager, Community Services, WebJunction. "But managing staff training can be expensive, inconvenient, and difficult to fund and maintain. With WebJunction, OCLC partners with state library and other service agencies to provide cost-effective training and staff development programs that are convenient to access and easy to manage."
Eighteen U.S. state library agencies partner with OCLC to offer their members sponsored access to self-paced courses and localized training content through WebJunction.org. One of the first state library partners was Connecticut State Library.
"For Connecticut, WebJunction is our main resource for library development," said Kendall Wiggin, State Librarian. "We use WebJunction to provide information and courses on technology, managing a library, advocacy at a time of diminishing resources, and ways to better assist people coming into the library. It is also a great place for librarians to share and discuss experiences on timely issues or projects."
Geek the Library: spreading the word about the vital role of public libraries and the critical funding issues they faces
OCLC's Geek the Library community awareness campaign also recently received additional funds from the Gates Foundation that allows the program to expand to more libraries across the U.S. The $1.9 million supplemental grant ensures continued support for libraries already implementing local campaigns and support for 1,000 additional libraries that enroll prior to June 2014. The grant extends campaign support through June 2015, and will provide additional guidance and skills to library staff working to build community awareness about the benefits and value of local libraries."
"Additional funds give OCLC the opportunity to enhance the program by translating important lessons we've learned in the campaign's first years into even more support for the libraries we're working with, and a greater focus in areas we know can help libraries raise awareness during the campaign and beyond," said Chrystie Hill, Director of Community Relations for OCLC.
Geek the Library was piloted in 2009–2010, opened enrollment to all U.S. libraries in the fall of 2010, and has since helped hundreds of U.S. public libraries across 40 states raise awareness about the library, the value they bring to individuals and communities, and their need to retain or increase funding. The final phase of the program will focus on helping participating libraries engage library staff throughout the local campaign cycle. An important goal of the broader program is to provide not only an effective awareness campaign, but also knowledge and skills that library staff can use now and in the future.
"The campaign has been a great way for us to get the Chelsea community involved to also tell their stories and how the library supports them, which will benefit the library even after weâve completed our campaign."
"Here at Chelsea District Library, the Geek the Library campaign has allowed us to connect with new businesses and organizations in the community," noted Anna Cangialosi, Marketing Coordinator for Chelsea District Library in Chelsea, Michigan. "Holding monthly photo shoots in-house has opened up our library to many nonusers, allowing us the opportunity to show how public libraries support everyone. In addition to the awareness we're building in the community, the lessons we've earned have helped staff understand the importance of consistent messaging in telling our story. The campaign has been a great way for us to get the Chelsea community involved to also tell their stories and how the library supports them, which will benefit the library even after weâve completed our campaign."
Geek the Library was developed based on the results of OCLC's research published in From Awareness to Funding: A study of library support in America. The research and pilot campaign were also funded by a grant from the Gates Foundation.
Interested public libraries can get more information about implementing the campaign locally at Get Geek the Library.

Medicine's Beautiful Idea
For most of human history, doctors have killed their patients more often than they have saved them. An excellent new book, Taking the Medicine: A Short History of Medicine's Beautiful Idea, and Our Difficulty Swallowing It, by Druin Burch, MD, describes medicine's bleak past, how better ways of thinking led to modern successes, and how failure to adopt those better ways of thinking continues to impede medical progress.
The moral is not that doctors once did foolish things. The moral is that even the best of people let themselves down when they rely on untested theories and that these failures kill people and stain history. Bleeding and mercury have gone out of fashion, untested certainties and overconfidence have not.
Burch's conversation with his rowing coach epitomizes the problem:
"I want you to keep your heart rate at 85% of max for the next hour and a half."
"Because it's the best way to improve your fitness."
"How do you know?"
"Because I've done it before and it worked. Because that's what the people who win the Olympics do. I know, I've trained some of them."
"But has anyone actually done an experiment?"
"What on earth are you talking about?"
This book is Burch's answer to his coach's question. Medicine's "beautiful idea" is that we should test all hypotheses and beliefs using the kind of tests that are reliable for determining the truth. Instead of going by tradition, authority, theory, common sense, or personal experience, we now have effective tools to find out for sure whether a treatment really works. (more…)

Redmon Wines has grown from a home winemaking project in 1999 to producing wines that are receiving as high as 97 point ratings today. Below you'll find some of the things that make our wines unique:
Small producers:
Each year we produce no more than 1,000 cases of wine. Our signature Redmon Cabernet Sauvignon, is limited to about 300 cases each year. To put things in perspective, each year the Napa Valley as a whole produces millions cases!
We like making our wine in small quantities. Our hands do the work, not large production lines. For example, each fall we hand-sort the fruit from our vineyard. We pick out raisins and anything that is not the perfect fruit. We do this ourselves, and we do it twice!
Best of all, because we are small, we have the opportunity to genuinely connect with our customers. Newcomers love to hear Our Story, and we love to hear about the journey that brought them to us. Together, we form friendships, and the Redmon Wine family grows.
World class wines:
Right from the beginning we made the choice to create wine of the highest quality. That means no shortcuts. French oak barrels, the best fruit, and winemaking practices that result in a truly hand-crafted product.
To increase the concentration, complexity, and wine quality of our fruit, we cut the historic yield of our vineyard in half! Each summer we do a "green drop," meaning we cut off every other cluster of fruit. This improves quality because the available nutrients go into half as much fruit as they would otherwise.
Mother Nature helps out as well. Our vineyard located on the St. Helena bench contains dry, rocky soil from the mountains and lush, volcanic soil from the valley floor. This unique soil combination results in elegant, softer cabernets of superb quality.
Sold by Word of Mouth:
The best things in life don't come easy. Because we are small, we sometimes go unnoticed by visitors to the valley. That's okay. Those who find us remember, and tell their friends and family. In fact, nearly all our wine sales can be traced back to customers we've met personally.
We don't sell though conventional outlets, and we don't sell out-of-state. But we would love for you to Contact Us, so we can chat more about our winery. Whether you come to visit us, or purchase from home, Redmon Wines welcomes you to the family.
Plan a trip to Redmon on our interactive winery map:
Just across the courtyard from the Redmon Ghost Winery, is a quaint Wine Country Farmhouse. Purchased along with the Ghost Winery, this house was once part of the Sunny Saint Helena Winery, the first winery built after Prohibition. This home was moved from the center of town in Saint Helena to the Redmon's property over two decades ago.
We are hard at work making this home a warm and inviting place. Recently we re-landscaped the entire property buy added lighting, built a beautiful rock wall, added trees and new green grass sitting areas. There is nothing like sitting out under the umbrella in the warm summer and spring days sipping a cool glass of chardonnay or enjoying our red wines with a plate of sharp cheese, fresh black fruits or grapes, and rich chocolate treats!
Wine clubs are a great way to stay connected to your favorite wineries.
To join the wine club, visit www.redmonvineyards.com or call 707-235-0282.
Redmon Wine Club Provides:
Guaranteed access to our limited production wines
Invitations to private tastings and events
A 10% savings off the retail price of the wines
Clubs ship in February, May, September and December or can be combined into two annual shipments.

text: So my pediatrician says as long as I'm nursing, I should continue taking my pre-natal vitamins. Well my insurance company doesn't cover them, and I'm wondering at this point, does it really matter? I could just get a generic brand of OTC women's vitamins, right? Is anyone still taking their pre-natal vitamins? I only want what's best for my little one, so if pre-natals are best, of course, I'll keep shelling out the cash!
