Neo Mats for Triton Boats are one of the best and most functional boat accessories developed in years. Created to provide tough, yet cushioned surface, Neo-Mats not only protect your boat's finish, but will also reduce the noise of aluminum boats-essential for hunters and fishermen. These neoprene-backed mats need no adhesive, absorb less than 5% of their own weight in water, and are customized to fit the floors (FL), front decks (FD), rear decks (RD) and boxes (BX) of Triton, War Eagle, and Xpress aluminum boat lines.
Neo-Mats are offered in different camouflage patterns, which vary, based on the brand of boat you own. Neo-Mats not only enhance the look of camouflage boats, they look great in your solid color boats as well. Whether you are pleasure riding, fishing, or duck hunting, you will add life to your boat and make your overall boating experience more comfortable and enjoyable.
Prices will vary depending on your boat size and model.

BSC & Russian University Sign Agreement to Carry Out Joint Training & Research
CreatedWednesday, July 27 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
Dr. Sergey Zhigulev of Kostroma State University, Russia (left), Julia Lazareva of the Academic Exchanges Office at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow (center), and Dr. Sudhakar Jamkhandi, Coordinator/BSC Office of International Initiatives, are pictured outside the gate of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, Russia, displaying a five-year Agreement of Cooperation between Bluefield State College and Kostroma State University, Russia, to collaborate in the area of training, education, and research.
(Bluefield)—Bluefield State College and Kostroma State University, Russia, have signed a five-year "Agreement of Cooperation" to collaborate in the area of training, education, and research.
The agreement was signed by Rassadin Nikolai Mikhailovich, Rector of Kostroma State University, and Dr. Albert Walker, President of Bluefield State College. Dr. Sudhakar Jamkhandi, Coordinator/BSC Office of International Initiatives, and Dr. Robin Ware, BSC Off Campus Coordinator, participated in the formal ceremony at Kostroma State University during which the agreement was formalized.
The accord provides several joint collaborative initiatives, including:
- · Joint grant proposal development to fund research within the science programs;
- · Organization of joint science conferences and seminars, as well as publication of joint scientific articles and monographs;
- · Teacher exchanges for lectures, special courses, internships (practice) and other forms of curricular improvement;
- · Post-graduate and undergraduate student exchanges, and;
- · Exchange of special literature, scientific journals, collections, monographs, and teaching aids.
The agreement can be extended beyond five years with the agreement of both participating institutions of higher education.
"This agreement signals the beginning of a new era in BSC's study abroad program offerings and internationalization of BSC's curriculum," Dr. Jamkhandi noted. "It is the culmination of dialogs held in 2010-2011 between Fulbright Scholar in Residence from Kostroma State University, Dr. Sergey Zhigulev, and BSC's administration, especially BSC's Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Don Smith, VP for Finance and Administration Shelia Johnson, VP for Student Affairs and Enrollment John Cardwell, and Executive Director, Title III/Academic Outreach Programs Executive Director Dr. Felica Wooten Williams."
"This agreement manifests BSC President Dr. Albert L Walker's vision of diversification of West Virginia's higher education institutions, which the WV Higher Education Policy advocates and mandates," Jamkhandi continued. "Starting in the summer of 2012, we hope BSC students will opt to study Russian, Russian History, and Russian Economics at Kostroma State University and we hope that some of our Language Arts majors will want to teach English for International Students there, too."

Tag: The Motley Fool's list of economic stuff
Tidbits about the economy for Did-You-Know fans
- 4:35 pm Sunday, July 22nd, 2012 by Dian Vujovich
Every now and then a list comes along that's worth a read through for any number of reasons. Like, for instance, the one from The Motley Fool that arrived in my email last week.
Titled "100 Mind-Blowing Facts About the Economy" , complied by The Fool's finance and economics columnist Morgan Housel, I've selected a number of entries and listed them by topic—something the author didn't do. So here goes:
About stocks and the markets:
– According to The Wall Street Journal, in 2010, "for every 1% decrease in shareholder return, the average CEO was paid 0.02% more."
– In 1999, one of the [More]

Out of stock items are built on demand. You buy it, we build it. Ships within 5 days.
Will the Eagle Creek packing cubes fit?
Why bother with cheap imported packing cubes when you can build your own Red Oxx Packing Cubes Custom Kit designed to work in conjunction with your Sky Trian. Or try our Nomad Shave Kit, Lil Roy Gadget Bag as packing cubes. You can color co-ordinate them to your preference and they come with useful carry handles. The Tri-fold Toiletry bag is also a brilliant shave kit or makeup organizer due to its three individual zippered mesh pockets and unique fold open flat hanging design.
Another option is to take a belt, any belt will do, and thread it through the holes in the smuggler's pocket at the base of the bag where the backpack straps attach to the bag. While not a very comfortable way to travel, using a belt this way can also relieve some weight off the hips. The best solution however, is to focus on traveling light and not over pack your Sky Train. Use the internal cinch straps to hold your belongings in place and minimize wrinkles.
In stock orders ship same day if received by 4:00 PM Mountain Standard Time!
Your idea of carry-on perfection? The Sky Train meets your desire for hands-free, easy-on, easy-off boarding of planes or trains. Specially designed for the leisure traveler going to Europe or beyond. Keeps you moving. No waiting for late or lost luggage--it's with you all the way. A bag built for mobility. Once your Sky Train is on, you're gone!
In 2007 Red Oxx teamed up again with web author and travel expert Doug Dyment of OneBag.com fame to develop this carry-on backpack travel bag. Doug called it the "quintessential dual-purpose bag". Think flexible-- this mobile carry-on bag can be carried five different ways:
1. Carry like a suitcase using the Euro handle on the side.
2. Vertically using the Euro handle on the top of the bag.
3. Over your shoulder like a messenger bag using the Claw Shoulder Strap.
4. Cross body, carried like a messenger bag, again using the Claw Shoulder Strap.
5. Or pull out the retractable backpack straps from the smugglers pocket and travel in hands-free comfort.
The grab loop Euro handles on the sides also help stowing the bag in the overhead bin. Fits continental airline luggage boarding size restriction box and most international ones, too. Includes an adjustable and removeable sternum chest strap.
The Sky Train Carry-on features two main interior compartments and one full-length outside zippered flat pocket. The main compartment tie downs cinch down to the closed cell Volara foam, securing your clothing. These tie downs help keep your slacks and dress shirts wrinkle-free until you can hang them up in the hotel. Easily holds three pairs of slacks and three blouses with room leftover for a light jacket.
The secondary compartment has a foam stay and a small pocket for stashing personal items (9" x 12") and is spacious enough to hold your Toiletries, shoes, or workout gear... The rigid sewn-in Volara foam padding protects your belongings, but is still flexible enough to shove into a cramped overhead bin.
Follow this link to learn Doug's bundle wrapping technique. Fit more in your Sky Train airline carry-on bag. Thanks to Onebag.com, here's a handy printable PDF Sky Train Packing Diagram. It covers how to "bundle wrap" for the Sky Train, your ideal backpack hybrid convertible travel bag. Or watch the packing video in the videos tab where professional travel guide Kasey Austin of Austin Adventures demonstrates some of her awesome packing tips.
Don't like bundle wrapping? Build you own custom Red Oxx Packing Cubes Kit. Our made in Montana cubes are designed to work in conjunction with the Sky Train. Ladies, check out the Meerkat Packing Tube, a tube cube sized just right for hair care products.
Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around bags that weigh 50 tons and have three inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a carry-on bag, Sky Trains are built tough. Starting with the most durable soft textile material available, 1000 weight CORDURA® Brand Nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that is double stitched into every seam. Rugged, reliable and tough.
Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag, or gives it a clean finished look if on the outside of the bag.
In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors bags that brag of "binding" their edges.
Each stress point, such as where the handles attach to the bag, is double box stitched - which is where we get the "double XX" in our name, Red OXX; a stitching practice we adapted from our time as parachute riggers.
The reason Red Oxx uses the largest practical zipper we can find, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Red Oxx has occasionally been accused of "overdoing" our hardware. But once you've had a cheap piece of imported plastic hardware break in the middle of a busy intersection, airport or other inconvenient locale dumping your precious belongings all over the ground for all the world to see (and steal), having a heavy-duty nickel-plated or stainless steel D ring or attachment swivel that weighs just a little more, or might make a little noise, is a travel companion's confidence builder and peace of mind maker. After all, you want to enjoy your journey as best you can. Traveling with a Sky Train Convertible Backpack bag, you'll know it won't bust apart and break you down.

text: Hi- I am a manager in a large company which has just gone through a merger. I just got back from a week long conference (11 hour flight, 5 hour time zone difference). I was fortunate enough to take my baby along (husband took care of him during the day) so that we could continue night feedings and I had also pumped with my Medela Pump-In-Style during the day. That was a pretty stressful time, but we got through it. Well, now there are major re-orgs in my company and one of my friends got laid off. I think the stress is really affecting my milk supply. I have no idea how secure my job is at this stage. I drink 1 gallon of mother's milk during the day along with at least 2 quarts of water, so hydration on my end isn't an issue. I used to be able to pump about 14 ounces a day, but yesterday I only got 5.5 oz. This limited supply has been going on for about a week now. Yesterday, I even pumped every hour and a half to increase my supply. To make matters worse, my baby has a slight cold and didn't nurse as much last night because he was congested and had trouble breathing while he nursed. I finally decided to take a sick day to pump and feed him and get some rest. Does anyone have any other suggestions for me? Anything would be most helpful! Thank you!

I dont want her accusing me of asking her to starve him so need info so am well informed and ready for her. Can others advice
Thanks in advance

Special Education Services
Assistive Technology
Children with disabilities sometimes need and are entitled to special equipment and services to ensure that they have access to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). Learn more about equipment, funding, consultation and evaluation resources, implementation strategies, best practices and other services available.
Assistive technology includes both devices and services. As defined in IDEA:
- an assistive technology device means any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of a child with a disability. (34 CFR 300.5)
- an assistive technology service means any service that directly assists a child with a disability in the selection, acquisition, or use of an assistive technology device. (34 CFR 300.6)
During the IEP process, assistive technology must be considered for every child and then provided by districts if required in a child's IEP to access a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).
Illinois Assistive Technology Program (IATP) now offers school-based evaluations in addition to device loans to school districts through the ISBE grant: http://www.isbe.net/spec-ed/pdfs/iatp_flyer.pdf.

You should feel good about eating these―the latest research shows they deserve a prominent place in a healthy diet.
Food: Avocado
Misconception: I shouldn't eat avocados because they're high in fat.
Why They're Good for You: Avocados are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat and contain active compounds that may help prevent cancer. They are loaded with antioxidants, including familiar disease-fighting compounds such as lutein, beta-carotene, and vitamin E. They also help the body absorb phytochemicals from other foods. The lycopene in tomatoes or the beta-carotene in carrots may be better absorbed if there's a slice or two of avocado in the bowl. Scientists suspect that the fat content of avocados helps the body absorb these antioxidants.

Melissa Dixon was in the crowd this summer for concerts by country singers Kenny Chesney and Keith Urban, along with rock bands Matchbox 20 and the Goo Goo Dolls.
When she wasn't singing along with some of her favorite tunes, Dixon was putting on a show of her own on the basketball court.
Dixon, a Johnsburg graduate, averaged 33 points a game to lead the Game Time League, an Iowa summer league open to high school, college and professional players.
"The league is a lot of fun," Dixon said.
A guard at Iowa who will be a junior this fall, Dixon also led the league with 25 3-pointers and hit 46 percent of her long-range shots. She added 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists a game.
"I think it was a good experience for her," said Randy Larson, who made Dixon the league's No. 1 overall draft pick and coached her for the Vinton Merchant/Culver's team. "She's the kind of player I love. I was going to draft her no matter what pick I had."
Dixon, who was the Big Ten Conference's Sixth Player of the Year last season, finished as Iowa's third-leading scorer (10.7 points a game) despite starting only three games. With the graduation of the team's top two scorers, Morgan Johnson (14.4) and Jamie Printy (12.7), Dixon likely will shoulder more of the Hawkeyes' scoring load as a junior.
With that in mind, she expanded her skills this summer by not just relying on her 3-point shooting skills.
Larson said that when Dixon encountered defenders guarding her closely near the 3-point line, she showed the ability to drive to the basket for a layup or a shorter shot.
"It was fun to see," Larson said. "It made her impossible to cover."
While leading her team to a 4-1 record in league play, Dixon opened the season with a 41-point effort.
"It did bring back some memories from high school," Dixon said. "One of the things I wanted to work on was to be better off the dribble."
Her 82 percent free-throw accuracy this summer also was 11 percentage points higher than her sophomore season.
Scoring was just part of Dixon's improvement.
"I wanted to improve my overall game," Dixon said. "I can take it to the basket or pull up for a jump shot. I wanted to become a better passer."
Dixon, who won Iowa's Hardest Worker Award last season, also saw expanded work on defense.
"She'll continue to be a terrific defender," Larson said. "She guarded some point guards and small forwards this summer, too. That will help her."
With her expanded skills, Dixon is looking to make a big impact for the Hawkeyes this season.
"My first two years, I was willing to do whatever I could to help the team," Dixon said. "I was happy just to be on the floor. This year, I want to become more of a leader."
Augie honors: Richmond-Burton grad Josh Eisenberg has been chosen for the Capital One Academic All-America third team in track and field this summer.
Eisenberg, a pre-med major with a 3.97 grade-point average, is a multi-event track and field specialist for D-III Augustana. He will serve as a team captain for the 2014 season.
Eisenberg holds the school record in the indoor heptathlon and specialized last season outdoors in the decathlon. He has placed five times during his career in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin meet, including third in the decathlon during the spring season.
On July 26, Eisenberg was recognized by the U.S. Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Association as a member of the organization's All-Academic Team, which recognizes academic and athletic prowess. Members of the team must have at least a 3.3 GPA and have qualified for the NCAA championships or placed in the top 35 nationally in their event.
New Missouri home: Crystal Lake Central grad Dana Shannon is a member of this season's volleyball roster at D-II Missouri S&T University.
Shannon, a sophomore libero, transferred after one season at Newman University in Kansas. Last fall, she played in all 23 matches for Newman (4-19) and ranked third on the team with 2.4 digs a set.
Missouri S&T finished 20-13 last season and won its second consecutive Great Lakes Valley Conference West Division title.

With the exception of the abysmal "Helldorado", this is the worst W.A.S.P. album. "I'm Alive" and the title track are the only songs on this album I love. Amazing to think they went from this straight to "The Headless Children". lol

Sprecher Brewings & Doings – SLO-IFF Surf Night and John Waters
14th March 2009
Bummer that UW-Madison Men's Basketball lost yesterday. They almost beat Ohio. Thrilling game, but a heartbreaker. Randy and I have been really busy pouring beers and soda at the SLO-IFF. But we did have time to see Wiener Take All, the dogumentary about racing dachshunds and their owners. The film has a wry sense of humor, and probably won the hearts and minds of wiener dog afficionados. In fact, there were several wiener dogs in the audience. I admit, they're cuties. For the most part I thought the film was really well done. Weakness = a bit redundant. More editing would've helped keep me and other non-wiener dog devotees engaged.
Thursday night was Surf Night, complete with two Surf Films, Women and the Waves and Under the Sun, surfers in the films, Nat Young and his son Beau, and a surf party complete with a band. I only saw the first film because I had to go set up for the after party, but thought it really well shot and edited. Though I know nothing about surfing, I found the whole film interesting. Former surfer and avid surfing fan Randy liked both films for many reasons, including the natural beauty they captured.
Afterward we poured at the surf party and met some very interesting people, including a couple from the movies. BTW: Beau Young told me that Sprecher Orange Dream is "the BEST soda [he] ever drank, REALLY!!!" He said it just like that, but with an Aussie accent. No, he did not use the word "mate" in his declaration.
Tonight we're going to hear John Waters talk, which should be interesting. I last saw him up close and personal in the Baltimore train station in 2000. No conversation, just a brush with greatness moment. BTW: they're adding a new item to the silent auction — A Sprecher Tasting Party for 10 with Randy Sprecher. So if you're interested in sampling beers with Randy, stop by SLO-IFF headquarters at 1021 Higuera Street, San Luis Obispo and put your bid in. Can't make it to the HQ? Call your bid in: 805.546.3456. Since the SLO-IFF is a non-profit, I believe the winning bid is tax deductible.
Also –it's almost St. Paddy's Day. Stop by the brewery, 701 W. Glendale Ave, Glendale, WI for lots of Irish-style fun, fare and drinks.
And — 8:50am, tomorrow, WTMJ Channel 4 will air a piece on Sprecher Premium Reserve tastings, the delicious cheese and beer pairing option we offer in the Rathskellar on the weekends. If you've never been and you want to get an idea for what happens, definitely tune in.

My eye doc is worth over $3 million a year
- 9:28 pm Monday, April 14th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
My eye doc is an ophthalmologist. One of the guys who billed Medicare over $3 million in 2012. I know there is a lot of fraud in Medicare billing, and a large amount of it in this particular medical specialty, but in my doc's case I just don't see it.
As a diabetic who has not successfully controlled the disease, I have macular edema retinopathy in both eyes. In an effort to keep me from going blind, I've been getting a shot in each eye once a month for quite a while. My doc originally started treating me with Avastin [More]

Vt Health Department says whooping cough downFebruary 27,2013
BURLINGTON The number of whooping cough cases in Vermont has dropped in half since a vaccination and public information campaign was launched in December, the state Health Department said Tuesday.
Last year the state reported a record number of 645 cases of whooping cough, a number the state considered an epidemic.
On Dec. 19, the Health Department sponsored a special vaccination day to immunize people. Since then, hundreds more Vermonters have gotten shots.
Whooping cough is a highly infectious bacterial disease that is most serious for babies too young to be fully vaccinated. Its name comes from the sound children make as they gasp for breath.
Last year at this time 89 whooping cough cases had been reported in Vermont, while so far this year there have been 42.
We cant declare the end of this outbreak, but were thankful that Vermonters responded as they did to slow the spread of illness, said Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen. Cases spiked at the end of the year and have steadily decreased since then.
Preliminary government figures showed in January that the country had suffered its worst year for whooping cough in nearly six decades.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.
