text: on the TW website you can click on what the pro players equipment is. i was looking at some of their equipment, and I know the racquets that TW says they use aren't the actual racquet they use (they paint them), but is the string TW gives as the string they use really the string they use or do they use something else? I see Ferrero and Agassi use Luxilon along with many other players. do they really use the strings TW posts or do they use something else that the public can't get (like their racquets)? and is luxilon a good string for an average player, it looks inexpensive, but is it long-lasting and does it have good feel? thanks

32 Iowa Conference titles
DUBUQUE — The task is clear for the Central College men's golf team after climbing to within three shots of first place at the Iowa Conference men's golf tournament Friday.
The Dutch have one more round Saturday to catch 23rd-ranked Dubuque in the 72-hole tourney. The final 36 holes are being played at the par-70 Dubuque Golf & Country Club.
Fueled by a 2-over-par 72 by Adam Squires (junior, Waterloo, Columbus HS), the Dutch shot the day's best round with 300. Dubuque had 304.
Central, trying to erase an 18-stroke first-round deficit, stands at 313-295-300—908 while Dubuque is at 295-306-304—905. Luther is third at 305-307-313—925 with Wartburg fourth at 308-312-311—931.
"It's like I said before the tournament, it's going to be a firefight this year," coach Chad Green said.
Desmond Stoll (junior, Lockport, N.Y.) is tied for second in the medalist standings at 76-69-77—222. Dubuque's Eric Wolfe has a comfortable margin at 70-70-75—215. Squires is fifth at 78-76-72—226 with David Watson (junior, San Diego, Calif., Patrick Henry HS) eighth at 84-70-75—229, Clayton Curwin (junior, Faribault, Minn., Shattuck St. Mary's HS) tied for 16th at 79-80-77—236 and Jon Prescott (junior, Mendota, Ill.) tied for 16th at 80-80-76—236.
"Adam Squires had a solid round," Green said. "He's our most experienced player. We don't have any seniors so I was happy to see a round like that out of him."
Watson's finish was key to Central's performance.
"I was really proud of David Watson," Green said. "He was 8-over and I think played 3-under over the last five holes to shoot 75. That was the score we needed today."
The course is relatively short—at 6,120 yards, it's more than 1,000 yards shorter than Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City, the site of the tournament's first two rounds. But it played more than challenging, Green said.
"It's the hardest 6,100-yard course you'll ever see," he said. "The greens are tricky with lots of undulation. That's what makes the golf course so tough. But we didn't have a lot of 3-putts, so I'm happy with that."
Central has won the past three league crowns and 31 overall, but Dubuque is the tournament favorite. The conference champ receives an automatic berth in the NCAA Division III tournament May 13-16 at Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C.
Coming from behind will still be difficult for the Dutch.
"We've got nothing to lose," Green said. "We'll just go out and hope to put up some good scores."

Akbar Trial Continues
Fort Bragg, NC – A military jury will see five diary entries made by a sergeant in the 101st Airborne Division before a grenade and rifle attack on a Kuwait desert camp that killed two officers and wounded 14.
A judge ruled Thursday that prosecutors must include three entries the defense wants to give a complete picture of Sgt. Hasan Akbar's state of mind before the attack.
Prosecutors wanted to show entries from february 2003 to show premeditation. Akbar is charged with two counts of first degree murder and three counts of attempted first degree murder. He faces a possible death penalty if the jury decides he planned the attack.
The court martial was moved from Fort Campbell to Fort Bragg, North Carolina which is home to the 101st Airborne Division's higher command.
Defense lawyers have said they don't contest the facts and have cross examined few of the government's witnesses. But Akbar's lawyers said their client was so mentally ill that he couldn't have planned the attack.

Heat the stock in a saucepan and keep it warm at the side of the stove. Melt half the butter in a shallow saucepan or casserole, add the onion with salt and pepper and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft, but not browned. Stir in the rice and sauté it, stirring constantly, until it absorbs the butter, about 2 minutes.
Stir in about half the wine with a little salt and pepper and simmer, stirring, until the rice starts to dry, 5-7 minutes. Add a couple of ladlefuls of hot stock and continue simmering, stirring gently but constantly. When the rice dries again and needs more liquid, add the remaining wine.
Continue cooking, stirring all the time and adding more stock in batches. At the end of cooking, the rice should be tender, still slightly al dente (chewy) and creamy from the starch that has begun to leach from the grains. This will take 25 to 35 minutes and don't hesitate to use plenty of stock.
Take the risotto from the heat, add the remaining butter in pieces, and stir it into the rice as it melts. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the risotto in shallow bowls or on deep plates with a sprinkling of Parmesan. It is best served at once, though it can be kept warm for a few minutes. If necessary, soften it with a little more stock just before serving.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
BiologyJuveniles and subadults frequently found at river mouths and estuaries. Occurs downstream from the first falls where the water is charged with mud and the bottom is muddy. In the Amazon, it can sometimes be caught in the upper part up to the foot of the Andean range where it appears to be more rare than Brachyplatystoma filamentosum and Brachyplatystoma flavicus but never in the zones prone to flood. Reproductive migrations probably occur like in other Brachyplatystoma (Ref. 35381). Usually caught with longlines and drift nets (Ref. 35381). Its flesh of excellent quality is highly appreciated.

Playground fitness serves many mastersBy Linda Freeman
CORRESPONDENT | October 28,2012Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Zac Tinker, 3, of Barre, crosses a monkey bar apparatus at a new playground in Barre on Wednesday.The next time you are near a playground, stop and take a look. Watch kids at play. Theyre usually noisy, flushed, with discarded jackets, untied shoe laces and often dirty. Obviously they are busy, having fun being with friends and interacting with new kids.
Just as obviously, they are doing an impressive job of addressing fitness on their own uniquely personal and age-appropriate levels.
Recess is common time for crowded playgrounds. Weekends and after-school hours hold equal value for those who choose to visit. An hour spent on a playground might be the most economical way for you and your kids to get a strenuous, effective and family-building workout.
Early on, pediatricians warn of the dangers of playground accidents and caution anxious parents to supervise their kids. Today, however, childhood obesity is headlining the news. So is the need for healthy activity. Isnt this a time to encourage kids to test their wings, to reach a little farther, to climb a little higher, to step outside of their child-sized box?
Recently I was at my neighborhood school with three kids, ages 4, 6 and 8. Champing at the bit, they ran from the car to the equipment, reveling in the new-to-them array of jungle gyms, slides, swings, monkey bars and more items to climb up, suspend from, crawl under and jump from than they could dream of. There seems to be an endless supply of creativity used in building the play areas as well as ways in which to use the equipment.
I stayed closeby as they passed hand-over-hand along the bars, slid down the firemans ladder, walked on balance beams and found sometimes frightening ways to master each challenge. I was reminded that the younger the child, the more determined he might be to keep up with older siblings and push himself until his grip simply couldnt hold. I watched as the first-born proved to be a mix of mother hen, watching out for her siblings and show-off, as she bested them whenever possible. I was fascinated to see the 6-year-old become absorbed in a single activity that demanded complete focus for over 30 minutes. The playground itself, not a parents order or an adult sense of obligation, was the motivator.
The fitness industry is bulging with fancy, expensive gym equipment. Here, on a playground, maintained by the public school system, children and adults can find all that they need to become and remain fit. In fact, appreciation for such activity has led to a proliferation of at-home jungle gyms, fitness facility play-yards, climbing walls, boot camps and outdoor classes.
Begin a visit to the playground by investigating the assortment of equipment using each item as it was designed to be used. Then repeat and have at it. Watch as children find unexpected ways to climb the ladders, play pirates and alligators on the swinging bridge or hide-and-seek in the tunnels.
If you must, while your children are playing, and keeping one eye on their safety as well as their performance (so you can congratulate them later), devise a means to address your own personal fitness. Chin-ups on monkey bars, box jumps to a platform, pushups with feet elevated, knee-ups suspended from an overhead bar are easy transitions from gym to play set. Swings are great with feet on the seat and hands on the ground, it is possible to perform any number of core-taxing movements like planks, side planks, pikes, rotations and many more.
Create circuits for yourself or for you and your kids together. Aerobic fitness is increased by running from one piece of equipment to another; chasing, racing and giggling get the job done.
Balance is demanded from seesaws to ropes courses. Upper-body strength is a must for hanging, gripping, pulling up and lowering with control. Lower-body strength kicks in for climbing, jumping and landing. Core strength is increased by pumping to new heights on a swing or assisting in just about every playground gymnastic.
Coordination becomes natural when practiced within the context of reaching the top, getting across or sliding down. Pushing, pulling, lifting, squatting all are familiar moves to the dedicated gym-goer and here, on the playground, they are simply part of play.
Though its tempting to sit on a bench with a hot cup of coffee, or worse, to bark out orders, dont. Join in, interact with your kids. Above all, remember to keep it fun. Moving their spontaneous energy into a disciplined workout zone would be a mistake. Basically, if you are playing with your kids, lose your structured workout. Help your youngsters to gain confidence. Model for them, let them be proud of their parent or adult care-giver who can do these things and then tell them you are proud of them. Insure their safety. Assure their success. Dont tease, show off or critique. Free play is a bargain.
Brian Grasso, contributor to www.coreperformance.com, in The Playground Workout, said: Movement is more than what you do in the gym. Its about living an active life. So get outside and play with your kids. Free play has become an overlooked commodity, somewhat deemed to be a waste of time for youngsters to engage in, but its the essence of physical fitness for kids. Its good for you, too. Youll strengthen your body and your relationships.
Socialization is a significant benefit of playground activity. Meeting, sharing, teamwork, fair play, and lending a hand demonstrate the early practice of life skills. Children who grow up in families that play together often assume that fit and active lifestyles are the norm and go on to be fit and healthy adults and later parents themselves.
Give a child the gift of memories memories of uncomplicated time shared with them devoid of distractions. Let them see you laugh, be silly, struggle with a task or awkwardly fail. You will be more human, more a part of their team. Like all good team players, they will learn to give and to take, to learn and to teach, to be active and value health and family. As the adult, you dont always need to be the coach.
Just maybe youll have as much fun as they do.MORE IN Outdoors

The newest member of the Clovis Municipal School Board has never held public office before, but that didn't deter Lola Bryant from applying for a vacant position.
Bryant told the school board Tuesday night that she learned about the vacancy caused by George Banister's April 30 resignation and decided to apply after talking to her family.
"I love children and I want to help children," Bryant told the board. "To me, education is so important to everyone."
Bryant, a third-generation Clovis resident who is a mother of five and grandmother of two, said her philosophy of education involves providing a supportive environment for children.
"Education should be with kindness and children should be encouraged," Bryant said. "If someone is struggling, give them a helping hand if you can."
As a full-time homemaker and school volunteer, Bryant said she has the time to commit to the school board.
"I do know it's going to take a lot of time and I'm ready for it," Bryant said.
Interviewed after her selection, Bryant said she hopes to get to work soon.
"I'm very excited and I look forward to working alongside the current board members," Bryant said. "I want to be involved with students … and be a positive influence in their lives."
Board president Laura Harlan, a 13-year veteran of the school board, said she enjoys helping new board members learn their jobs and will assist Bryant in her new role.
"There are a couple of different areas where we will bring Lola up to speed," Harlan said.

It's not hard to get a strong debate going about energy choices. Most Tasmanian citizens have a personal preference for various choices such as wind, wave, geothermal, nuclear etc, and most people have a position on the ones they don't particularly like. Then there are keen enthusiasts out there who believe they have the ultimate solution to our energy future, and these people often disagree bitterly with each other.
So, who are we to believe? How do we make rational choices?
In this article I am going to try to do the impossible, introduce some rationality to our energy choices. At the end of the day, alternatives have to be realistic, not based on romantic whims or wishful thinking. The sums have to stack up.
So here is a short guide to what matters most – real energy. That is: what is the net energy return you will get from any energy resource? And how do energy choices compare? And is it actually possible to replace oil?

- Title
- Critic authoring templates for specifying domain-specific visual language tool critics
- Author(s)
- Ali, Norhayati Mohd; Hosking, John; Huh, Jun; Grundy, John
- Abstract
- In recent years we have observed the extensive evolution of support tools that work with the user to achieve a range of computer-mediated tasks. One of these support tools is the critiquing system (also known as critics). Critics have evolved in the last years as specific tool features to support users in computermediated tasks by providing guidelines or suggestions for improvement to designs, code and other digital artifacts. While critic tools have been demonstrated to be effective in providing feedback, critic authoring continues to be a big challenge. We describe a visual design critic authoring template approach that facilitates the construction of critics for Marama-based domain-specific visual language tools. Our template approach provides end-users and tool designers with a new way to express design critics in a natural and efficient manner. We describe prototype tool support for specifying and realizing these design critics in Marama-based tools.

During every NFL season, players emerge who either surprise or greatly disappoint in comparison to initial predictions.
Every year, there seems to be some lesser-known player ready to explode onto the national stage just as there always seems to be an established superstar set to fall off the proverbial cliff and and far short of expectations.
Then, there are those players who appear to be stuck in virtually un-winnable situations. We're talking about guys who, either due to expectation or circumstance, have found themselves set up for failure (even if they don't actually fail).
In short, we're talking about players who are simply in over their heads.

Duke senior longstick middie/defenseman Luke Duprey will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury, a Duke official confirmed Saturday. Multiple MLL sources told IL that Duprey sustained an ACL tear.
Duprey was injured late in the Blue Devils' 17-15 win over Virginia last Friday night. Coach John Danowski's 11-2 team hosts Rutgers Saturday in Durham.
Duprey has picked up 34 groundballs this season and caused 22 turnovers; he has 142 career groundballs and 88 career caused turnovers. The 6-5, 210-pound New Hampshire native was an elite hockey prospect and IL's No. 4 recruit coming out of Phillips Andover (Mass.) and was the New York Lizards' No. 4 pick in January's MLL Draft.

Newberry Lioness celebrate 28th anniversary
The Newberry Lioness recently celebrated their 28th anniversary at Charter Night. The theme was the Birthday Bash.
Attending were District Governor Charles Keener and Vice District Governor Gary Strach, Lioness Chariperson Diane Dunn, past District Governors and Lioness from other clubs in the area.
Evelyn Moore, president; and Mary Martha Messner, vice president, presided. Judee Robinolt is the secretary and Helen Dgien is the treasurer.
A Chinese auction was held and Pat Rishcoff was awarded the PA Fellow Award. Betty Way was presented the Lioness of the Year Award and her daughter, Linda Dalto, received the "Cub Award."
The Charter Committee included the president, vice president, secretary, Beverly Weaver, Pat Mowry, Bea Remick, Terry Holohan, Sherry Ault, Krystal Sheleman and Deb Shief.
For Easter, the Lioness group delivered fruit baskets to Hope homes in the Williamsport area. For fundraisers, each month orders are taken for ham sandwiches. The ladies make them and deliver the sandwiches themselves. They are planning a yard sale for May 11 at the Lycoming Presbyterian Church in Newberry.
On June 29 they will have a burger burn at Sam's Club.
The ladies also soon will be planting flowers at Dunkin' Donuts and the monument in Newberry.
The group is collecting paper products, toys, books and puzzles for the Ronald McDonald House in Danville, which they will take when they visit there this month. They also will be taking soda tabs that they have collected.
In July, the ladies will visit Camp Victory, a camp for terminally ill children and make desserts to serve to the campers and staff.
All proceeds from fundraising are given back to the community. Included are Williamsport Area High School scholarships, diabetes care, Leader Dog, North Central Sight Services, Hope Enterprises, Gate House, CAPPA and more.

Learn about Heat Illness Prevention and AC 609 for your dealership.The summer heat is blistering all across the US, and we have the hottest month of the year still to come! According to NIOSH in the last 15 years about 430 workers have died from exposure to environmental heat. Employers who have employees working outside or in non-air-conditioned areas must be aware of Heat Illness Prevention requirements from OSHA, and how to keep their workers safe in the heat. Section AC 609 is another important area of summer compliance for dealers as more customers bring in their cars for air-conditioning repairs. The EPA states that employers must provide "adequate training on the service and repair of MVACs and MVAC–like appliances, refrigerant containment, refrigerant handling equipment, refrigerant purity, environmental consequences of refrigerant release, and adverse effects on stratospheric ozone layer depletion…" Do you have the right training for your employees? Join Trevor Stage in this webinar to ensure you are ready to beat the summer heat at your dealership! Presented by:
- Trevor Stage Channel Partner Manager, KPA Trevor is the Channel Partner Manager and works with KPA partners to develop strategic relationships and enhance compliance, loss control, and risk management practices.

Miss USA Rima Fakih Won Radio Pole Dancing Contest (Video)
Miss USA winner Rima Fakih is under fire after it was revealed she was working a stripper's pole at a gentlemen's club.
Fakih won a contest ran by a Detroit radio station in 2007. The prize was a women's only pole dancing instruction class run by strippers at a local gentlemen's club. At the end of the class, they had a competition to see who the best was. Fakih won the competition and prizes that included adult toys and a stripper pole for home use.
Photos were taken of her winning routine, wherein she wears shorts and a tank top - quite a bit more clothing than the lingerie shots taken by the Miss USA competition. Officials are looking into the matter, to see if any more racy photos of the Miss USA winner exist.

Personnel Security Hearing (10 CFR Part 710)
On June 20, 2013, an OHA Hearing Officer issued a decision in which he concluded that an individual's security clearance should not be restored. During the individual's periodic re-investigation for security clearance eligibility, the individual reported higher alcohol consumption than he had during the earlier Personnel Security Interview (PSI) and a psychological investigation. The Local Security Office (LSO) investigated this discrepant reporting, and the individual acknowledged that he had been intentionally dishonest about his alcohol consumption because he was afraid he would lose his job. Based on the higher reported alcohol consumption, a DOE psychologist diagnosed the individual as suffering from Alcohol Dependence and recommended the individual abstain from alcohol for ten months and participate in an intensive outpatient alcohol treatment program to evidence adequate rehabilitation and reformation. After conducting a hearing and evaluating the documentary and testimonial evidence, the Hearing Officer found that the individual had not presented evidence to mitigate the security concerns. The individual was not abstaining from alcohol – he had had three drinks the evening before the hearing – and had not participated in any treatment programs. In addition, at the hearing, he acknowledged that he had intentionally lied about his alcohol consumption during the 2011 PSI and psychological evaluation because he feared he would lose his job if he told the truth. OHA Case No. PSH-13-0016 (Wade M. Boswell, H.O.)
On June 18, 2018, an OHA Hearing Officer issued a decision in which he determined that an individual's DOE security clearance should not be restored. The individual had exhibited a pattern of failing to appropriately manage her financial affairs evidenced by her failure to honor her debts and pay her taxes on time. The individual was not able to fully resolve her financial issues because she had not established a sufficient pattern of responsible financial conduct to mitigate her past financial irresponsibility and had not shown that she understood the causes of her financial distress. For these reasons, the Hearing Officer concluded that the individual had not mitigated these security concerns at the hearing. OHA Case No. PSH-13-0035 (Steven L. Fine, H.O.)
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Appeals
On June 18, 2013, OHA issued a decision remanding an appeal (Appeal) from a FOIA determination issued by the DOE's Richland Operations Office (ROO). The Appellant, Hanford Atomic Metals Trade Council, contested the ROO's invocation of Exemption 5 to the redactions it made in the released documents. The released documents contained communications regarding the DOE's contractors' labor negotiations with the Appellant, a union. The OHA reviewed the withheld information and the ROO's justifications for its redactions, and determined that the documents were either not inter- or intra-agency documents or that they did not involve a deliberative process. Therefore, the OHA remanded the Appeal with instructions to issue a new determination. OHA Case No. FIA-13-0030
On June 19, 2013, OHA issued a decision denying an appeal (Appeal) from a determination issued by the Office of Inspector General (OIG). The Appellant filed a request under the FOIA and the Privacy Act seeking, inter alia, information about complaints filed against Poli A. Marmolejos, OHA Director, and any related internal investigations. In its determination letter, the OIG informed the Appellant that it neither confirmed nor denied the existence of any such records described in the request (a so-called Glomar response). Citing FOIA Exemption 7(C), the determination letter went on to state that, lacking an individual's consent, an official acknowledgment of an investigation, or an overriding public interest, even to acknowledge the existence of such records pertaining to an individual could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. The Appellant challenged the OIG's response. After reviewing the subject matter of the request, the method by which the request was processed, and the OIG justification offered in the determination letter, the OHA found that the OIG appropriately invoked its Glomar response; any other response to the request could reasonably be expected to constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under Exemption 7(C). Accordingly, the Appeal was denied. OHA Case No. FIA-13-0035
On June 19, 2013, OHA issued a decision granting in part and denying in part an appeal (Appeal) from a FOIA determination issued by the Office of Information Resources (OIR). The Appellant appealed the OIR's decision to withhold portions of released documents pursuant to Exemption 5 and contested the adequacy of its search. The OIR stated that portions of the documents were withheld pursuant to the deliberative process privilege of Exemption 5. The OHA, acting through the Chief Information Officer pursuant to a delegation from the Director, OHA, reviewed the withheld information and determined that the OIR properly invoked the deliberative process privilege as the nature of the withheld information was predecisional and contained signatures/initials of concurring DOE employees which represented the individuals' personal opinions pertaining to the draft text of certain OHA case documents. The OIR stated that one office conducted a search for responsive documents: the Office of Hearings and Appeals. In response to inquiries, the official who conducted the search discovered three additional documents that may be responsive to the original FOIA request. Therefore, the OHA remanded the case to the OIR for a new determination on these three additional documents only. OHA Case No. FIA-13-0031

You have three variables and two independent equations:
3x + 2y + z = π/4
4x + 4y + z = 1
To have a unique solution, you need three equations. My guess is that you can't form the third equation without using the facts that these are actual circles. It may be possible to twist the shape a little preserving the two equations above.
Anyway, you an find y/2 using trigonometry. That would be the third equation.

What needs to be done in part (a) is to check for which values of a and b does the function f have a limit for x tending to 0. If f does have a (finite) limit, then you can extend f to all of R by letting f(0) be that limit.
As for part b and c, you do something very similar. Well, first check if the function f is differentiable in the first place. You know that if f is to be extended to a differentiable function, then the value of f at 0 must be the limit of f(x) for x-->0. Check which choices of a and b make the extension differentiable at 0. Similarly for the second derivative.

Which are valid declarations for a Local business interface? public interface Foo1 { public void foo(); } import javax.ejb.Local; @Local public interface Foo2 { public void foo(); } import javax.ejb.*; @Local public interface Foo3 extends EJBLocalObject { public void foo(); } import javax.ejb.*; @Local @Remote public interface Foo4 { public void foo(); } A. Foo1, Foo2, Foo3 B. All of the above C. Foo2 D. Foo1, Foo2 --------- ANSWER: Foo1 is valid. There is no requirement that the interface be annotated with @Local. Foo2 is valid. The @Local annotation may be used to directly annotate the interface. Foo3 is invalid because a Local business interface must not extend javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject. EJBLocalObject is only used for EJB 2.x style Local interfaces. Foo4 is invalid because a single business interface can not be both a Remote business interface and a Local business interface. This would be very dangerous since the interface would appear to be the same but would have different calling semantics(pass-by-value vs. pass-by-reference) depending on how it was used.
The interface must not extend the javax.ejb.EJBObject or javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject interface.

text: Please clarify a few things. From previous posts I assume that D is a constant (not distance) between 0 and 1, and T = time, correct? You have the factor (T-1) in the expression for wind speed - does that mean that from T=0 to T=1 the wind blows in one direction, and after T=1 the wind blows in the other (i.e. the sign of W changes from negative to positive)? Also each of the two expressions you provided are velocities (not power), right? Finally, I trust you ar aware that the W component completely swamps out the V_i component after just a few seconds.

Use polynomial long division to change this into a form where the order of the numerator is less than the order of the denominator. It should be clearer then.
The problem I'm trying to find the oblique asymptote for is: 8x^3+1/x^2-5x+6
I know the answers to this specific problem(vertical asymptotes at: x=2,x=3; oblique asymptote at:y=x+5) but I don't know how to arrive at the answer for the oblique asymptote for this specific problem. Can anyone help? I know about how to use long division to solve most of these types of problems, but this one I don't know how to achieve the correct answer for the oblique asymptote even with long division.
I understand that I should use polynomial long division, but even so I still don't arrive at the correct answer. Perhaps my calculations are wrong. If you've tried it already using long division and arrived at the oblique asymptote I have listed above, would you mind showing me your steps?

The preschool that children attend has been shown to be a significant but variable predictor of physical activity of 3- to 5-yr-olds, whereas the time outdoors has been found to be a strong correlate of physical activity. Researchers speculate that variations in preschool physical activity may be attributed to variations in preschool policies and practices, including the form and content of outdoor physical environments. However, assessment methods linking them to physical activity are limited. Improved understanding of links between environment and activity could be used to influence childcare policy, which is highly regulated, usually at state level, to create outdoor environments more conducive to children's informal play and physical activity. The purpose of this article was to introduce behavior mapping as a direct observation method on the basis of the theories of behavior setting and affordance and to demonstrate its sensitivity to gathering physical activity and associated environmental data at a sufficiently detailed level to affect built environment design policy.
Methods: Behavior mapping data, including outdoor environmental characteristics and children's physical activity levels, were obtained in two preschool centers at the Research Triangle region, NC.
Results: Physical activity levels at the two centers varied across different types of behavior settings, including pathways, play structures, and open areas. The same type of setting with different attributes, such as circular versus straight pathways, and open areas with different ground surfaces, such as asphalt, compacted soil, woodchips, and sand, attracted different levels of physical activity.
Conclusions: Behavior mapping provides a promising method for objectively measuring relationships between physical behavior settings and directly associated activity levels.

Home Source Unveils Key Initiatives for 2012
January 9, 2012,
ATLANTA-Home Source International has launched several strategic efforts and set an organizational structure to support its 2012 objectives.
According to a statement from Keith Sorgeloos, the company's president, Home Source will open an Asian sourcing office based in India, to cover that nation, China and Pakistan, the three countries from which Home Source does most of its sourcing. It will be headed by Thirunavukkarasu (T.P.) Periaswamy, a former executive with Sharadha Terry Products.
Also, as an adjunct to sourcing fabric for cut-and-sew here in the United States, Home Source will open a new manufacturing facility to be located in the Southeast. This factory will manufacture products for the company's hospitality and retail customers, and will serve as a hybrid model that will allow the company to develop, search and source finished fabric to be used for products such as comforters, quilts, coverlets, shams, decorative pillows and window treatments. Dennis Rudd, Home Source's vice president of manufacturing, will lead this effort.
In addition, Home Source has structured itself to include a concentrated effort in its high-end specialty-store business, through the hiring of Andrea Bruckner as eastern vice president of sales. Working together with Jannette Huff, western vice president of sales, Bruckner is responsible for building the Home Source brand with high-end specialty stores in the United States. The company will also open a 3,200 square-foot showroom in AmericasMart here, which will be formally launched at the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market this week.
Sorgeloos also said the company's fully automated warehouse, distribution and supply-chain initiative, which was set up last year, is on track. "We are continuing to solicit worldwide manufacturers, importers and retailers in utilizing our sophisticated supply-chain services via housing and shipping product to retail partners, and supporting overseas manufacturers who need to supply U.S. retailers all the way through, and including a direct-to-consumer model," he said. This effort is being led by Roger Atkins, vice president of warehousing, distribution and logistics, and Chris Bajenski, vice president of information systems.
Also, Scott Sorgeloos has been named vice president of product development-bedding, succeeding Phyllis Moore, who has retired. The statement said Scott Sorgeloos will serve as the complement to Eric Loges, vice president of product development-bath.

UVA student opportunities
The Museum invites University students to explore the Museum and its collections through the student docent program, internships, and volunteer opportunities.
The Fralin Student Engagement Council
The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia is entering the second year of its newest student initiative—The Fralin Student Engagement Council. The Student Engagement Council (SEC) is an advocacy group dedicated to efforts that deepen and diversify University student engagement with the Museum. Members of the SEC collaborate with Museum staff to design, implement, and market opportunities that broaden The Fralin's student constituency and amplify its visibility on Grounds. If you are interested in taking a leadership role at The Fralin, the SEC may be a good fit for you. Applications are accepted each spring from undergraduate and graduate students at UVA who wish to serve on the council for the upcoming academic year. For more information about the SEC's mission and membership requirements, questions should be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Student Docents
The Fralin student docents are trained in a variety of museum education techniques, including the inquiry method. After completing the required Docent Training Course, they lead tours for school groups and community organizations, assist with the annual Writer's Eye competition, and contribute to the Museum's mission by fostering an appreciation for art in visitors of all ages. Check out the Student Docent Program page for information about the benefits and commitments of becoming a docent at The Fralin, and for details about how to apply for the next Docent Training Course.
The University Museums Internship Class (undergraduate):
The University Museums Internship is a two-semester sequence of two three-credit courses. Students will do internships (lasting for an academic year) at either The Fralin Museum of Art or the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection. As interns, students will work approximately 100 hours each semester (7-8 hours per week) in the museum, under the close supervision of museum professionals, and will participate in three training sessions and three academic seminars per semester. The class will also curate their own exhibition. Cross listed with Art History and GDS. Enrollment by application (due May 1): email to Jordan Love a resume, transcript, and a one-page essay/cover letter explaining why you want to take the class, what museum work interests you, and what museum experience you have (if any).
Summer Internships:
The Collections Department offers the Powanda summer internship in Collections Management and care. For more information, please contact Lynn Lee.
The Education and Curatorial Departments accept summer volunteers or interns through the UIP program as needed. For more information, please contact:
Education Department: Aimee Hunt
Curatorial Department: Chloé Nagraj
UIP program page: UIP
The Development department has work-study, internship (UIP) and volunteer opportunities for students during the academic year and summer. For more information, please contact Sarah Althoff.
Graduate Student Fellowship:
The Barringer-Lindner Fellowship is open to graduate students in the joint Art and Architectural History Graduate Program at UVA. This year-long fellowship allows for the curating of a spring exhibition to be held at The Fralin Museum of Art. The fellow will be nominated by the Art and Architectural History graduate committee, and final selection will be made by The Fralin in April. Interested students should contact the Director of Graduate Studies or email Laura Mellusi, Art General Administrative Supervisor.
Writer's Eye 2016
Now in it's 30th year, Writer's Eye, started by The Fralin's docents in 1986, is an annual literary competition that challenges writers of all ages. Writers from 3rd grade through adults use visual art as inspiration for the creation of original poetry and prose. Compositions inspired by selected works on view in the Museum can be submitted in the categories of Prose or Poetry, for grades 3–5, 6–8, 9–12, and University/Adult. Winners are honored at an annual ceremony in the spring, and first-, second-, and third-place winning entries are published in the Writer's Eye anthology.
Entries are judged anonymously by area teachers and writing professionals. This year's Distinguished Judges include authors Lisa Russ Spaar and Christopher Tilghman. Lisa Russ Spaar, the Distinguished Judge for Poetry, is the author/editor of over ten books of poetry and criticism, including the Monticello in Mind: 50 Contemporary Poems on Jefferson. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Best American Poetry, Pushcart Prize Anthology, Poetry Daily, and Verse Daily. Christopher Tilghman, the Distinguished Judge for Prose, is the author of two short story collections, In a Father's Place, and The Way People Run, and the novels, Mason's Retreat and Roads of the Heart. His reviews and essays have appeared frequently in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and elsewhere. Learn more about this year's judges here.
Art selections for Writer's Eye 2016 will be drawn from four new exhibitions: Andy Warhol: Icons, THE GREAT WAR: Printmakers of World War I from the VMFA, A Gift of Knowing: The Art of Dorothea Rockburne, and New Acquisitions: Photography, as well as from the museum's permanent collections.
Docent-led Writer's Eye tours begin on August 29th, 2016 and end November 22nd 2016. Schedule a tour for Writer's Eye 2016.

Writer's Eye 2015
Between September 8 and November 13, 2015, more than 3,800 students in grades 3-12 toured the Museum for Writer's Eye, as well as more than 400 adults from the University and the community. We received 1,821 entries in all categories, an increase of nearly 8% over last year. We are pleased to announce the winners of Writer's Eye 2015:
Early Visions
Each Spring semester, in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of
Central Virginia. The Fralin offers the ten-week Early Visions program. UVA students and children from the Boys and Girls Club are paired in mentoring relationships and embark on creative activities that encourage exploration of the Museum's exhibitions, promote critical thinking, and relate the children's discoveries to their own lives. Early Visions embodies the Museum's dual educational mission of providing learning opportunities for both students and community members by harnessing the enthusiasm and skills of University students to deliver innovative educational programs. Mentors and mentees learn from and about one another while working side-by-side on creative projects.
For University student mentors, the daylong training program includes an overview of Charlottesville's racial history, exercises to build self-awareness and communication skills, and fundamental techniques in art education. It's a great opportunity for students to gain experience working with children, broaden horizons, and give back to the community.
If you are a U.Va. student interested in becoming an Early Visions mentor, apply here.>
If your child attends the Cherry Avenue or Southwood Boys & Girls Club, inquire with their Club leaders.

Giants win Sask Cup volleyball event
Fittlingly, the two teams with the best records met in the gold-medal final of the Subway Sask Cup #2 under-18 boy's volleyball tournament at St. Mary High School on the weekend and it was the Southeast Giants from Estevan retaining their perfect record when they won a hard-fought battle against the Huskies from Saskatoon. Both the Giants and Huskies won all three of their preliminary round-robin matches with Estevan getting past Lloydminster and the Prince Albert U-18 Smashing Bananas en route to the championship game while the Huskies defeated Martensville and Melfort in their playoff matches leading up to the final contest. The Huskies grabbed the early advantage in the final match winning 26-24, but the Giants stormed back to win the next two games 25-21 and 15-13. In the bronze-medal contest it was the Smashing Bananas beating Melfort 25-14, 25-18. An under-17 event was also held at Carlton Comprehensive High School on the weekend, but results were unavailable. Shown in the photo are Smashing Banana U-18 defenders Shane Maruschak, left, and Dominic Pytlak getting ready to keep the ball in play during preliminary action on Saturday.

It's been a little over a week since the first ever Vida Vegan Conference for vegan bloggers took place in Portland, Ore., and I'm still taking it all in. Attendees have gone back to their respective homes in other cities, states and countries, but the effects of converging together over a weekend to share ideas, tips and experiences are still with and affecting each of us, as the event's Facebook and Twitter, and attendees' blogs (that's a link to an RSS feed of all of 'em) affirm.
Before I begin the recap, I have to say that I was completely honored and thrilled to have been a part of this conference as an attendee and a speaker. Jess, Janessa and Michele each put so much of themselves into this conference, and it truly showed. I'm in awe of their individual/collective abilities to plan and put on such a grand event all while working day jobs and maintaining their own lives (and sanity). It just goes to show that when projects start out of passion and heart, something amazing surfaces.
– – –
Surreal. That's the one word that I feel best sums up getting to meet bloggers I've read for years who have unknowingly helped me in my transition to veganism, and also those I'd just heard of recently due to the conference. It was invigorating to know that though some of us are fledgeling bloggers, we were all in Portland for the same reasons: we eat the same foods, strive to live cruelty-free lifestyles and want to tell the world about it.
As soon as I arrived to the University Place Hotel Thursday afternoon (where the event was held), I ran into Brittany, aka Brit_on_Twit to you. She lives north of Seattle and we'd previously met, but it was too funny that she was the first person I saw. From there, we headed to the first pre-Vida Vegan Con event: the Meet and Greet at Vendetta.
We each ordered one of Vendetta's few, but tasty-sounding vegan items: Brit the Sloppy Joes and I the Tofu Sandwich. It consisted of slices of plain tofu (which I've come to like recently, I've realized!) with a cilantro-lime seasoning, garlic-habenero sauce and a side of pickled veggies. Appropriately sized and well-flavored, this hit the spot.
Next, it was time for the meeting and greeting!
– I practically grabbed Gabrielle Pope when she walked by and introduced myself, as we were speaking on a panel together but had only met online at that point! And I did the same with Janessa, as we'd emailed back and forth and missed each other at Vegan Iron Chef, but it was so wonderful to see her smile in person.
– Jess introduced us to Bryanna Clark Grogan right away, and I was nearly starstruck. Bryanna's blog and recipes have been staples in my kitchen for the holidays for years, yet her pleasant demeanor immediately made me feel at ease.
– I saw Australian activist Leigh-Chantelle Koch walk by and said her name, and then she sat down next to me and we chatted about her summer travels and the con for some time. She's adorable, has impeccable taste in dresses and has an accent I could listen to for hours.
– And on the way to the event via bus I met Bianca of Vegan Crunk, Allison of Allison's Gourmet and Katie of Vegan Noms, and I'd run into these sweet ladies throughout the rest of the event.
After drinks and chatter, we all mosied on over to the Curious Comedy Theater to see a sneak preview of the documentary "Vegucated." I'd been eager to see this film and it did not disappoint. What I loved about "Vegucated" was that it not only discussed the health benefits of veganism, but it also covered the environmental and animal rights aspects of it, too. It did so by following around three volunteers who went vegan for six weeks and documenting how they reacted to the changes in their bodies as well as the new information they learned.
As someone who's been vegan nearly six years I didn't learn a ton from the film, but I was still moved by it and reacted in all the ways filmmakers want you to: laughed, was angered, and cried. The film was entertaining while still remaining informative, and I urge everyone to see it when it makes its way to your city. I spoke with Demetrius (the film's PR superstar) and he informed me that the Grand Cinema was the first theater to request the film on its own merit, so dear Tacomans, please look out for it in the near future. For those outside of Tacoma, you can sign up to host a screening and learn more about it sharing it with your community here.
After the film, many of us made our way to the Bye and Bye's new sister (also all vegan, amazing) bar, the Sweet Hereafter. Here's my Gin Julep, which was fresh, tart and a taste of summer in a glass, (not pictured, a generous Bahn Mi):
– – –
On Friday, we all had some downtime before the first official con event took place in the afternoon, so many of us gathered to tour the Bob's Red Mill HQ in Milwaukie, Ore. Our car got a tad lost, but we eventually made it and joined the rest of the group.
I'm a sucker (read: nerd) for these types of tours where you get to see the way that a business is run and how its products are produced, but it's even better when it's a company you patronize. Bob's Red Mill makes 450 whole grain products including gluten-free, pre-made baking mixes, soups and more.
After using many of our senses to experience the products in the factory, we drove to the place where we could procure some: the Whole Grain Store & Cafe.
Though it was lunch time, my breakfast consisted of a very lunch-like, huge burrito, so these monster whole grain pancakes were calling my name. Out of these three, I could only consume one. I took leftovers back, don't you worry.
Next we headed back to our respective rooms/dorms to get dolled up for the first Vida Vegan event: the VegNews Champagne and Cupcake reception in the hotel's ballroom.
We sampled Chipotle Cheddar, Smoked Gouda and Monterey Jack hazelnut cheeses and crackers from Portland-based Heido Ho Organics, (each were delicious and I hope they make them widely available soon!) and three different types of cupcakes from local Sweetpea Bakery.
It's a rough life, being a vegan food blogger.
As we enjoyed our fare, we took the time to relax and get to know our fellow bloggers better.
Though I met her the previous evening, I snapped a pic with the lovely Joni of Just the Food,
Gena of Choosing Raw, (a personal blog favorite) and Danielle of A Vegan Food Snob. I'd just started reading Danielle's blog before the event so it was lovely to meet her early on in the weekend.
After we mixed and chatted and drank our fair share of champagne, the posse headed over to a bar I'd been meaning to visit for too long: Tube.
The bar isn't totally vegan but offers some nice vegan menu items and drinks, so I ordered a Session and the The Original Vegan Ham and Cheese plus a salad, to green up this meal slightly.
Our group was not one to call it a night early, and thus we made our way to karaoke at Suki's! There was a large group of con goers here, and we represented ourselves well. Many got up and sang, including myself and Brit for Michelle Branch's "Everywhere." Yes, this is one of my standards. There was also some Bowie, Lou Reed, Britney, but Jess' vocal stylings blew me away the most, (I had no idea you were such a talented karaoke star, girl, no idea!). I don't think there's anything she can't do well.
After we all karaoked our hearts out and realized the rest of our other songs weren't coming up, we decided to call it a night.
Days 3 and 4 coming soon!

Video Clip of Daytime Vet Roscoe Born Singing.
He may be the mustachioed master of evil when it comes to the world of Daytime, but Roscoe Born has other things to keep him occupied than causing mayhem.
He's best known as The Young and the Restless' Tom Fisher (shot in cold blood, RIP) or Days of Our Lives' Trent Robbins (stabbed in cold blood, RIP), but he was also killed on One Life to Live while he was playing Mitch Laurence and his daughter, Jessica, hit him over the head with a lead pipe. In the real world he likes to lend his time and talents to encouraging people to get out and vote at election time. Born wrote and performed this track, "Blue State Mind, Red State Soul," which the editors at Soap Opera Fan Blog managed to cull from the chaos of YouTube.
What did you think?
