More About:
Most corn and soybean growers would likely agree that the 2010 harvest was much better than in 2009 in many ways, including the quality of grain harvested. But, just because the grain quality was better doesn't mean you can store it and forget it. Quality grain deserves quality monitoring.
"It is a wise investment to be able to monitor the temperatures of grain in storage. Grain temperature is as important as moisture in storage. More grain goes out of condition because we do not control grain temperature than for any other reason," says Ken Hellevang, North Dakota State University Extension engineer. "Grain spoilage and insect infestations both produce heat, so monitoring temperature trends is very important."
Here are a handful of products to help you monitor the grain you have in storage.

In 2006 Justin Timberlake burst onto the music scene with FutureSex/LoveSounds, an album that brought sexy back and helped us forget that he was in that tragic boy band. Since then we've applauded his movie roles and waited patiently for him to assault our ears again.
But there's a limit to our patience Justin. It's now times for fans to speak out with a timely public service announcement.
This PSA may be tongue in cheek, but it's also got a serious message. Take heed Justin. Enough with the rom-coms already. They just can't bowl women over like your sweet, sexy tunes.

Welcome and Enjoy...
I recently found an old family photo of me about two years old ripping a camera from around my fathers neck to take a picture. It is what I do... I enjoy getting up early to see the sunrise on a cold, crisp morning. Or seeking a dry place to wipe off my camera after shooting a driving rain storm. I often stay up late working over images while the rest of the world sleeps. Photography is a passion, a love, that I am honored to be able to share. Please take a look around and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. If you feel inclined friend me on the social sites to follow my latest captures.
Thanks for stoping by,

Actionable Items: S&P Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA:SDY)
Conclusion: Not only are pre-retirees not planning for their retirement, they are oblivious with regards to the resource that they'll need during their "golden years." Furthermore, they lack the skills to competently invest their retirement funds to accomplish this task — even if they were to clearly articulate their retirement goals.
Moreover, pre-retirees and taxpayers are being misled with regards to the true cost of funding retirement. Accounting and actuarial practices are designed to obfuscate the problem in a time honored practice of "kicking-the-can" down the road for some other policymaker to resolve.
There is really nothing upbeat about the current prospects for retirement. In a feat of reverse alchemy, the "golden years" are being turned into lead. The underlying assumptions regarding a comfortable retirement are being undermined by financial and demographic realities.
Mark Twain was quoted as saying, "The only two certainties in life are death and taxes." To this we can add: "working in retirement."
Litany of Woes: These woes range from:
1. A Social Security system that is likely to generate a third less in retirement benefits to its recipients once it has consumed its reserves and becomes a truly "pay go" system (estimate to be in 2038);
2. Employers choosing to drop defined-benefit retirement plans (over two-thirds in the past two decades) and migrate to defined-contribution plans where the beneficiaries are ignorant not only of their retirement needs but the investment strategies needed to achieve their retirement objectives;
3. An environment of low investment returns experienced in the past decade and likely to be repeated in the next decade that are severely underestimating the true retirement resource short-fall.
This latter issue is the one that we'll address as we believe it is the key variable on which the current retirement system is based.
"Houston, We Have a Problem." The biggest problem is that future retirees don't know they have a problem. Over 50% of Americans haven't tried to figure out how much to save for retirement. Among those who are in the 45 to 59 age group, 51% said they had yet to calculate how much they'll need. In a 2010 study by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, 40% of the baby boomers are at risk of not being able to pay for basic retirement expenses such as housing and out-of-pocket health care costs.
Systemic Risk: While individuals may be ignorant regarding their personal retirement planning responsibilities, pension funds are burying their head with regards to their own funds' liabilities.
Buried in Sand? Pension funds are basing their unfunded liabilities on an assumed investment rate-of-return on their funded assets that is highly problematic. The higher the rate of return the lower the unfunded liabilities and the less annual contributions have to be provided.
Historically, that assumed rate of return was targeted at approximately 8.0%. This has been based on the long-term returns generated by equity and debt. According to Ibbotson, the long-term annualized gain for the S&P 500 dating back to 1926 is 9.9%. For bonds, it's been 5.4%. Based on a 60/40 equity/debt portfolio mix, that produces a weighted average rate of return of 8.1%.
However, that target rate of return is in serious need of revision. As any investor can painfully recount, there has been zero nominal investment return on the equities as measured by the S&P 500 since 2000.
With bonds current yields at 2-3% and long-term equity returns burdened by low economic growth, shifting demographics, high current profit margins — that are likely to contract, and the potentially for no expansion in the market's price earnings (P/E) multiple, domestic equity return will likely average closer to 6% going forward. This "new math" would generate a new weighted average rate-of-return of almost half the current target at 4.4%.
A Taxpayers' Burden: According to the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, public employee pension funds stated they are underfunded by a total of $438 billion. However, The Institute states that a more accurate accounting would demonstrate that they are actually underfunded by over $3.0 trillion dollars. This gap is important because the difference is the potential exposure for which taxpayers could be liable for funding as pension benefits in most state are legal obligations of the state.
Getting Personal: In order to demonstrate the level of magnitude for an individual, we calculated the terminal retirement savings value of a 30 year old employee making an average wage of $41,673 and who begins contributing to a retirement plan at the average rate of 4.63% of wages until the full retirement age at the current target investment rate of 8.1% and the lower forecasted rate of 4.4%.
Click to enlarge
(Click to enlarge)
The chart demonstrates the impact on the terminal value of the retirement savings based upon the two assumed investment returns.
In our example, the 4.4% assumed investment rate of return would produce a terminal valuation (investment value at retirement) of 40% of the terminal retirement savings that the currently assumed rate of 8.1%.
This could be the difference between the ability to retire comfortably and not retiring at all.
Death, Taxes and Working in Retirement: One thing for certain is retirement for many will likely be postponed and seniors of retirement age will need to continue to work as they will have fewer resources on which to draw to sustain a comfortable and dignified retirement life style.
According to a 2011 report by Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, more than 3 out of 5 U.S. workers in their 50's and 60's plan on working past 65 — and 47% will do so just to fund their health care benefits.
Recommendations: For those approaching retirement and those in retirement, we believe that dividend growth stocks are the best place to invest their retirement funds. According to Forbes magazine, dividends are still an important component of investment return. Between 1900 and 2010, dividends generated a 4.4% average annual return representing approximately one-half of the average annual total return for stock of 9.4%.
For pre-retirees and retirees such stocks are appropriate as they generate a cash yield, that cash distribution will likely grow over time providing a hedge against inflation, and may provide a partial cushion for stock market volatility with a yield cushion.
Standard & Poor's has culled the dividend winners from the also-rans in a list it calls the "dividend aristocrats." These companies have paid and increased their dividend for at least 25 years. These names include the likes of Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) that is currently yield 3.7% and over the past five years and grown its dividend at an 11% annualized rate. Or, McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) currently 3.3% and demonstrating a 28% 5 year growth rate.
Making it Easy: We like the S&P Dividend ETF (SDY) that is currently yielding 3.5% and invests in the S&P High Yield Dividend Aristocrats Index. SDY generally invests at least 80%, if not substantially all of its total assets, in the securities comprising the index. This may be an easy way for investors and retirees to benefit from dividend growth stocks in a diversified fashion in a one-stop manner.
Disclosure: I am long SDY, and may initiate a long position in DVY over the next 72 hours. Also investing in closed end fund portfolios: CEFBig10 and CEFMuni10

People are more likely to get a colorectal cancer screening if it is scheduled during December or around their birthdays. Norwegians who received an invitation from the Norwegian Colorectal Cancer Prevention Trial to come in for a sigmoidoscopy in December kept that appointment more often than in any other month.
Reminders sent the week of a person's birthday also increased the possibility that they would keep their appointment.
The Norwegian Colorectal Cancer Prevention Trial 1 invited almost 21,000 randomly selected residents of urban Oslo or the urban and rural areas around Telemark to come into a center for sigmoidoscopy colorectal cancer screening. About 2 of every 3 people invited kept their appointments, nearly 13,000 or 65 percent.
- 67.9 percent of those who were invited during the week of their birthday or scheduled to have their screening in the two weeks after their birthday kept their appointment, compared to 64.5 percent of those invited or scheduled at other times.
- December was an even stronger draw. 72.3 percent complied with the request compared to 64.6 percent in other months.
The researchers speculated that birthdays and year-end holidays are reminders of aging. Although age was not mentioned in the screening invitations, birthdays and holiday milestones are often times that people reflect on increasing age. Another explanation is that many people approach such milestones with an idea of "getting things done" or taking care of "housekeeping business."
Because of an almost 10 percent increase in screening compliance in December, they suggest that expanding hours to accommodate more people during that month might be a good strategy.
The research team points out that their results might not be as strong in outside of Norway. The trial focused on flexible sigmoidoscopy, and in Norway there is no prior bowel cleansing preparation necessary. A sorbitol enema is given at the screening center just before the exam. Norwegian national health insurance also covers the cost of the test.
The team concluded,
Attendance rates for screening for colorectal cancer were higher in December and around attendees' birthdays, the latter particularly in an urban population. Compliance with screening programmes may therefore be improved by timing invitations in proximity to annual milestones.

Twitter offers a way for ski fiends to track powder falls
How many of you SKI readers have set yourselves up on Twitter? We did: check us out at @skimagonline. (We're also on Facebook, incidentally; won't you be our friend?) You wanna get primed for the season? Watch the tweet feeds from our antipodean friends like Ski Portillo (@skiportillo) or snow-data nerds like Ski Tiger (@skitiger) who keep tabs on resorts around the world. For the past week we've been seeing tweets from Portillo like this one: "and it is still snowing...over 50cms since yesterday! Road remains closed. Hotel welcomes some olympic teams for their off-season training." It's giving us serious snow fever. In related news, Loveland Ski Area (@lovelandskiarea) begins snowmaking in just 15 days. Tick-tock!

Deputies arrest robbery suspect, three others
NEW MATAMORAS – Deputies arrested four New Matamoras residents Thursday night, including the man suspected of robbing a New Matamoras home and gas station earlier in the week.
Joseph Slider, 24, of 1222 Williamson Ave. was pinpointed by other residents in the home as the culprit in both incidents, officials said. According to a report from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, the home's residents said Slider had been seen wrapping coins on his bed following a home burglary on Ohio 7 on June 13.
Fellow resident Melody Keene, 58, added that she had seen Slider with a large stack of dollar bills the morning after a masked suspect waved a knife and stole more than $400 from Par Mar in New Matamoras.
After the Par Mar robbery, a police dog tracked the suspect's scent to the Williamson Avenue residence. Dark clothes matching those worn by the suspect were found in the home, according to the report.
Slider was arrested and charged with a first-degree felony count of aggravated robbery and a second-degree felony count of burglary.
Keene and two others at the home were also arrested for a variety of charges.
Melody Keene and 18-year-old Cody Keene each had used syringes in their respective bedrooms, resulting in a second-degree misdemeanor charge of possession of drug abuse instruments against each, officials said.
Melody was also found with several items stolen during the home burglary, including a collectible coin, rings and a watch, police said. She was additionally charged with a first-degree misdemeanor count of receiving stolen property.
Larry D. Loy, 55, told deputies that he had concealed a stolen firearm under his mattress at Slider's request. Loy has prior criminal violations that prevent him from possessing a firearm, resulting in a fourth-degree felony charge of weapons under a disability and a third-degree felony count of receiving stolen property.
At the Washington County Jail, Loy allegedly spit water on two corrections officers while being booked. Because Loy has tested positive for Hepatitis C, the actions resulted in two additional charges of assault on a peace officer, third-degree felonies, officials said.
Melody and Cody Keene have been released from the Washington County Jail. Loy and Slider remain incarcerated in lieu of respective bonds of $35,000 and $150,000.

The first week back at work is behind me. So far about 70% of my students have returned. No, I don't get new students. I get the same ones again unless they moved away or changed schools. One of my students is sick, one is still on an extended visit to his home country, one was too busy with appointments to start back this week and another was too busy getting his kids settled in a new neighbourhood / school. Other teachers lose and gain students via promotion through the levels, but my class in a special demographic multi-level class, so I have very little turnover.
I definitely managed to keep the leisurely summer feeling going this week and weekend. I've set up my big project table in the main room that gets light from two sides and has a view of the deck / feeders / river. That's where I was sewing all summer; now it's where I'll do my lesson planning each evening.
On Friday Sylvain accompanied me to the Shores of Erie Food and Wine Festival, as Hospice was kind enough to give me two tickets (normally $30 each). The day was picture perfect–neither too warm nor too cool. We sat at a picnic table with a view of Lake Erie and enjoyed samples from some of the best restaurants in the area.
Saturday I ignored weather reports that it would rain all day and was at Point Pelee National Park by 8:30 for a field course in fall birding. What a day! It was pretty much as birdy as it was on Labour Day when I'd struck out on my own. This is my first year to try to bird the fall migration; I'd always assumed it would be too frustrating since many of the birds aren't wearing their tell-tale breeding plumage anymore. I was so wrong! It's as much fun as spring migration; the increased level of difficulty just makes for an exciting challenge. There are just as many warblers passing through as there were in the spring, and there are shorebirds too. What came as an even bigger surprise is how easy it is to see migrating raptors. Due to one experience in Toronto's High Park, I had thought that hawk watching meant trying to figure out what these tiny specks of birds are WAAAAAY overhead. But at Point Pelee there were several Ospreys, Merlins and Eagles as well as scores of Sharp-shinned and Broad-winged Hawks passing low overhead giving excellent views. After 30+ years of birding, the joy of discovery is fresh again.
After the field course, another birder and I decided to check out the shorebirds at Hillman Marsh. I am still learning how to look at things carefully. What colour are the legs? Does the bill droop, turn upward or is it straight? Is it longer than the head or about as long? What's the behaviour? What size is it compared to something nearby that you know, like a Killdeer?
I came home and got to colour in the Merlin in my life list colouring book. Another first for the day was Red Saddlebags (dragonfly).
Today has been slow and calm. I've done little chores like airing out the feather bed, doing laundry and putting it away, cleaning the droppings and sunflower seed shells off the deck (a daily chore), refilling feeders, planning this week's lessons, grocery shopping and making a tour of my "patch" for eBird.
Sylvain headed off to Muskoka this morning–the first year in five that he's going without me. He's keeping in touch by texting and sending photos, though, which is fun.
What have you been up to this weekend?

Baby Name Poll Results
Lane Jamieson vs. Caden Jamieson vs. Jacob Jamieson
Hey! I need help with choosing the perfect first name! What do you think?
The Top Baby Name is...
|Lane Jamieson Miller
|13% (2 votes)
|Caden Jamieson Miller
|67% (10 votes)
|Jacob Jamieson Miller
|20% (3 votes)
I like Jacob a lot, to me Lane and Caden seem sort of feminine, that could be because i know a girl named Lane though. Caden has always seemed sort of girly to me even though many mothers choose it as their son's name nowadays.
posted by guest: Danielle K. :: 2007-06-28 18:29:51 | report
I think Jacob is cute but Caden flows better with Jamieson...which i like spelled Jamison better simply because Jamieson looks like Jamee-sun to me. Good Luck :)
posted by guest :: 2007-06-28 18:32:02 | report
I love the names Caden and Jacob. I don't like the name Lane becuase it seems too feminine- I agree with the post above.
posted by guest: Ashley G. :: 2007-06-28 19:00:18 | report

Even if you don't like the names. Thanks!

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
General DescriptionAll species of Pelegrina are easily distinguished from relatives by the male embolus, which have two rami placed retrolaterally to the opening. The embolus of P. insignis is quite thin, delicate and prone to breaking. The embolus is flared on the distal portion and covered in small denticles. The dorsal portion of the carapace is covered in brassy scales with white patches between the posterior eyes and the fovea. The side band is prominent and white, but the cheek band located just dorsally is comparatively weak. The clypeus is brown with dark setae hanging over the chelicerae. The patch of yellow hairs at the base of the chelicerae are diagnostic (Maddison, 1996). Females possess the characteristic thickened epygynal flaps present in all Pelegrina. These flaps are short and lay either parallel or divergently in P. insignis. A strong diagnostic character is the presence of a raised bulge posterior to the flaps which rises above the level of the flaps. The carapace is densely covered in yellow and white scales while the clypeus is covered in yellow scales. The legs are a uniform yellow colour. The abdomen is yellow- or red-brown with pairs of large black spots (Maddison, 1996). Males: avg. body length 3.6 mm, carapace length 1.8 mm; females: avg. body length 4.1 mm, carapace length 1.9 mm (Maddison, 1996).

Signing up could earn you gear and it helps to keep offensive content off of our site.
When resorts are open, but all the runs aren't, use the early-season conditions to your favor, says Michael Rogan, Ski Magazine's director of instruction. Rather than complain about shoddy snow coverage while you scratch the itch to ski, heed his advice:
News flash: When your skis point straight down the
fall line...they accelerate. It's a part of any turn that is especially critical to understand.
Instructors and coaches often say, "Keep up with your skis." They rarely
tell you what that actually means. It means taking care that your skis are not jetting out from underneath you and leaving your body behind in the backseat. It means maintaining a basic athletic stance throughout the entire turn.
Watch any good skier, and one of the first things you'll notice is his composure. No matter the situation,
he seems to flow down the mountain without effort or a care in the world. It takes a lot to rattle him, and when the mountain does present him with a sudden challenge, instinct takes over, keeping him well in control of his destiny.

Many of the subway lines were not operational Thursday which caused citizens to resort to the railway system, buses and cars, leading to huge traffic jams, Xinhua quoted the daily O Globo as saying.
The report also said the morning traffic was the third slowest in history, and thousands of citizens were not able to get to work.
It is not the first time Sao Paulo faced transportation problems: bus drivers went on strike for two days in May and passengers were left without a lot of options.
The subway and the railway lines do not cover the entire city and are not sufficient to deal with the extra number of passengers.
Sao Paulo will host the World Cup's opening match, Brazil versus Croatia, June 12 as well as other five matches, including a semifinal. Most of the match goers are expected to get to the stadium by public transport, including the five subway lines in the city.

Description of the Organization:
UPAVIM's mission is to empower women in the neighborhood of La Esperanza, located on the outskirts of Guatemala City, by giving them opportunities to economically support their families, while also providing services to improve the quality of life for the entire community.
Over the past 25 years, UPAVIM has grown from a small baby-weighing program to a women's cooperative employing over 100 local women and making handmade fair-trade crafts sold around the world. The proceeds from these crafts pay the women's salaries, fund UPAVIM's community health clinic, and fund UPAVIM's school, which includes a daycare, pre-school, and elementary school (K-6th). In addition, the organization manages the first public library in the neighborhood, offers free English classes and tutoring for all ages, and runs a bakery and soy factory to provide fresh and affordable goods to the community. Please find out more by visiting www.upavim.org.
Description of Position:
In 2002 UPAVIM's school was established to offer the children of La Esperanza and neighboring communities a nurturing, stimulating and inspiring atmosphere to learn and grow. An English Program was launched in 2008 which incorporated a half hour of English into the 5-hour school day. In 2013, the program expanded and now consists of a half-day of English immersion classes for Montessori through grade 1. Grades 2 – 6 also receive one hour of conversational English every day. This program not only broadens the future education and employment opportunities of UPAVIM's children, but it also increased the school day to 8 hours, keeping students away from the gang violence that is present on the streets of La Esperanza. To find out more about the English Program, please visit www.upavim.org/programs/the-english-program
A highly motivated English Program Coordinator is needed to start June 23, 2014. The coordinator will develop, guide and oversee the daily functions of the program. Resposibilities of the English Program coordinator will include:
- Managing, observing and reviewing English Program teachers
- Classroom support
- Curriculum Development
- Liaising between English Program staff, UPAVIM CAA school director, UPAVIM and the Board
- Resource development and maintenance of the resource room
- Scheduling
- Organizing and facilitating weekly English Program meetings
- Organizing and facilitating monthly professional development opportunities
- Fostering and maintaining relationships between the school and other Guatemalan schools to develop opportunites for UPAVIM's students to continue their education
- Managing the English Program Budget, sending quarterly reports to the board
- Hiring future English teachers
- Bacherlor of Education (B.Ed)
- Three years teaching experience
- Spoken, written and reading fluency in both English and Spanish
- Curriculum development experience
- Management experience
- Desire to live and work in an impoverished urban area
- Patient and adaptable to change

The Zentrum Paul Klee is a model example of what Public Private Partnership can mean and bring about to the advantage of all participants. Only thanks to the exemplary cooperation of public sector (city, canton, regional communities and Burgergemeinde Bern) with private (Founder families Klee and Müller, founding partners and sponsors, private collectors) has it been possible to unite this unique art treasure, realise an exceptional architectural environment for it and with a diversity of activities make it accessible to the public.
With the Zentrum Paul Klee the City of Berne gains in attraction and the Bernese population comes to enjoy the additional quality of life.
The public sector's role in the Zentrum Paul Klee is apparent from the agreement with the City, Canton and Burgergemeinde Bern signed on 3 July 1997. This declaration of intent embodies the intentions of the parties to establish, equip and operate a museum dedicated to Paul Klee, subject to the following conditions (summary):
Paul Klee's heirs, Livia Klee-Meyer and Alexander Klee, are to make the works of Paul Klee and those of his artist friends and other works from that period currently in their possession available to the museum dedicated to Paul Klee.
The Klee heirs are to contribute to the Klee archive.
The Paul-Klee-Stiftung (Paul Klee Foundation – PKS) and the Art Museum are to make available the works of Paul Klee, the works of his artist friends and works from that period as well as works in other bequests and holdings, which are currently in their possession.
The construction of the building of the Zentrum Paul Klee was achieved entirely with funds from Prof. Dr. Maurice E. Müller and Martha Müller-Lüthi and without tax-payers' money from the government. The security of funding the running costs is different. Until 2013 government funds from the City and the Canton of Bern are jointly responsible together with the Regional Culture Conference for the running of the Zentrum Paul Klee. After this time the regulation of the subsidy is the sole responsibility of the canton. Since the running costs are dependent on the investment costs, representatives of the government are on the board of directors of the building owners, the Maurice E. and Martha Müller Foundation (MMMF). Burgergemeinde Bern participates in the running costs of the Zentrum Paul Klee through regular subsidies in favour of preserving the legacy of Paul Klee from the Paul Klee Foundation specially founded for this purpose by the Burgergemeinde Bern.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013
The top teams in the nation took care of business this weekend, leaving the top of the power rankings unchanged. The week wasn't without upsets though — Boston University took down UMass, Hopkins beat cross-town rival Loyola, UConn beat Boston College and Penn State upset Virginia in Charlottesville.
1. Maryland
Alex Aust had a monster week, putting up nine goals and 10 assists in wins over Virginia and Hofstra on Friday and Sunday, respectively. Maryland's offense as a whole is humming, averaging almost 18 goals per game with five players already in double digits in goals. The Terps host UMBC on Tuesday and Penn State on Saturday.
2. Florida
In one of the most anticipated games of the year, Florida got off to a fast start against Syracuse, leading 10-6 at halftime on the way to a 14-10 win over Syracuse at Sun Life Stadium. The Gators shot almost 54% on the day and Kitty Cullen led Florida with four goals on five shots. It'll be a quick turnaround to prep for Loyola, which visits on Tuesday.
3. North Carolina
Taylor George scored four goals and junior Brittany Coppa added three in UNC's 11-5 win over Penn. It marked the first time the Tar Heels have won at Penn. The Heels are on a roll, having won four straight since their seasoning opening loss to Florida. The road doesn't get any easier as Virginia visits Chapel Hill on Saturday.
4. Northwestern
The Wildcats were idle this week, but host Boston College on Wednesday before heading to Baltimore for a conference game against Johns Hopkins on Saturday.
5. Syracuse
The Orange came out of the gate slow on Saturday against Florida and found themselves trailing 6-2 midway through the first half. Michelle Tumolo scored four goals and Alyssa Murray added two and two assists. Kayla Treanor was held scoreless on four shots and Syracuse didn't get any production off the bench in the loss. The Orange head to Towson on Saturday.
6. Duke
A seemingly insurmountable lead was slowly relinquished as Duke let Vanderbilt work their way within a goal of the Blue Devils in the second half. Duke was able to pull off a 15-12 win and coach Kerstin Kimel said she was happy to see the team pull out a win in a tight game, something they hadn't really experienced yet. Duke is at Georgetown on Saturday.
7. Notre Dame
Putting together a full 60 minutes will be key for the Irish as they enter a tough Big East schedule. Notre Dame beat Ohio State 13-8 on Wednesday on the back of a strong defensive performance in the second half. They trailed Duquesne 4-0 early on Saturday before finding their rhythm in a 10-8 win. The Irish face Detroit and Boston University this week.
8. Penn State
A monster second half propelled Penn State to a 15-14 win over Virginia in Charlottesville on Sunday. Trailing 8-5 at halftime, the Nittany Lions scored 10 goals in the second stanza to get their second straight win over the Cavaliers. Penn State shares the ball and plays a great team offense. Six different players recorded two or more goals in the win. PSU hosts James Madison Wednesday before traveling to College Park to take on Maryland.
9. Georgetown
The Hoyas looked improved on both sides of the ball in an 11-6 win over Princeton on Friday night. The defense pressed out and forced the Tigers to take shots with their non-dominant hand and the offense took better shots and moved the ball well. They host Duke on Saturday.
10. Virginia
It was a rough week for the Cavaliers, who suffered losses to Maryland and Penn State this weekend. In a game that featured six ties and six lead changes, Virginia found itself on the losing end of a game for the third straight game on Sunday afternoon against Penn State. Casey Bocklet and Ashlee Warner have been consistent forces on the offense. The Cavs are almost through the toughest part of their schedule. They face North Carolina on Saturday.
11. Johns Hopkins
The Jays' win over Loyola on Wednesday marked the first time in program history that Hopkins has beaten the Greyhounds. This game was essentially decided at the circle, where JHU essentially ran freshman Erica Matz as a FOGO in the second half. She finished with four draws and Hopkins won 9-of-11 in the second half on the way to an 11-8 win. The Jays open ALC play against Northwestern on Saturday.
12. Loyola
Loyola has shown glimpses of the dazzling offense we saw at the end of last season, but haven't yet put it together for a whole game. They struggled to win draws in the second half in a loss to Hopkins Wednesday, but rebounded Saturday, winning 16 to Towson's five in an 11-10 win. A run of four goals in 49 seconds was the best the offense has looked all season. The Greyhounds head to Florida for spring break for a meeting with the Gators.
13. Dartmouth
The Big Green is 3-0 after wins over New Hampshire and Yale. The defense has played excellent and goalie Kristen Giovanniello is averaging just over seven goals allowed per game. Dartmouth hits the road to play Boston University Wednesday before hosting Florida Saturday.
14. Penn
This is probably too high to have an 0-2 team. The Quakers didn't do themselves any favors by falling into a 7-1 hole in the first half against North Carolina. Penn has always been known more as a strong defensive team, but the offense seems to have struggled so far, scoring a combined 13 goals through the first two games, both losses. The Quakers look to right the ship Wednesday against Rutgers
15. UMass
Sam Rush scored three goals but Katie Ferris was held to just one goal on three shots as the Minutewomen fell to Boston University in overtime on Wednesday. UMass rebounded with a 22-6 win over Iona on Saturday and will host Albany on Friday.
16. Towson
Towson got its first win Wednesday over UMBC and played a hard-fought battle against Loyola on Saturday, falling just a goal short. If the Tigers could have won more draws or converted on a couple more free positions, it might have been a different story. Towson is at American before hosting Syracuse on Saturday.
17. Navy
The Mids remain undefeated following Saturday's 12-8 win over Richmond. Loren Generi finished with seven points and seven draw controls on the day. A 5-0 run midway through the first half keyed Navy's victory. Navy opens league play against Lehigh on Saturday.
18. Stony Brook
Excellent team defense helped Stony Brook to its second win of the season, 16-3 over Central Connecticut State. It tied the program record for fewest goals allowed. Demmianne Cook scored six goals and Janine Hillier added four and two assists. The Seawolves face Duquesne and Longwood Thursday and Saturday, respectively.
19. Stanford
Rachel Ozer scored four goals, all in the first half, to lead Stanford to a 12-10 win over Ohio State on Saturday. The Cardinal now has wins over Harvard and OSU following a season opening loss to Notre Dame. Stanford hosts Georgetown and USC next.
20. Drexel/UConn
I couldn't decide who to go with here, so created a tie. Drexel remained undefeated with a win over St. Joseph's. UConn drew some attention with a 13-8 upset of Boston College on Wednesday, which they followed up with a 20-6 romp of Quinnipiac on Saturday. Drexel has Villanova and UMBC this week while the Huskies take on New Hampshire and Fairfield.

A note on: Capital adequacy and the information content of term loans and lines of credit (ABSTRACT)
André, P., Mathieu, R., & Zhang, P.
published: 2001 | Research publication | Refereed Journals - Accounting
André, P., Mathieu, R., & Zhang, P. (2001). "A note on: Capital adequacy and the information content of term loans and lines of credit". Journal of Banking and Finance, 25 (2), 431-444.
ABSTRACT: This study examines the information content conveyed by the disclosure of credit agreements in a Canadian setting. We argue that the introduction of the 1988-capital adequacy requirements lead banks to reduce their level of commitment at the issuance of lines of credit to avoid their inclusion in the calculation of the capital ratio. As a result, after 1988, the disclosure of lines of credit is expected to be less informative than the disclosure of term loans since banks may exert less effort to screen and monitor firms. Our results are consistent with the argument that the difference between the market reactions at the disclosure of term loans and lines of credit is significant after 1988. We also provide evidence that firm size and concentration of borrowing affect the market reaction at the disclosure of bank credit agreements.

Memories Of A Beautiful Jew
Latest update: December 10th, 2012
He was a beautiful Jew.
Anyone – Jew or non-Jew, religious or secular, chassidic or yeshivish, man or woman – who encountered or exchanged words with Rabbi Chaskel Besser came away with a smile, feeling a little more pleasantly disposed about the topic at hand or the world at large.
Rabbi Besser had a way with words and a way with people that made you feel you were the only person in the world he wanted to talk with at that moment. I was privileged to know him for almost 20 years, from the time I began my association with the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation in 1992.
Rabbi Besser had joined forces with Ambassador Lauder in the mid-1980s and in the first few years of their association had already launched schools in Hungary, Poland and Vienna, as well as youth centers, summer camps, community education programs, and a host of other ventures aimed at building Jewish life in Central Europe.
Rabbi Besser knew this territory well, as it had been his home. His family, the Koschitzkys, had already become successful businesspeople in Poland and Germany by the time Rabbi Besser was born in Katowice, Poland in 1923. Much of the world he knew as a child had vanished. But there were still a few Jews scattered throughout this part of the world, and Rabbi Besser and Mr. Lauder laboured to give them a chance at Jewish life and Jewish hope after the catastrophes of the Holocaust and Communism.
Rabbi Besser had numerous callings or careers before this one, as a businessman and investor in his own right, rabbi of a modest synagogue on Manhattan's Upper West Side (he is the subject of a delightful biography, The Rabbi of 84th Street), Presidium member of Agudath Israel, and international chairman of Daf Yomi. He was a confidant and friend of chassidic rebbes, roshei yeshiva, and Jewish community leaders.
As the Lauder Foundation's director for Poland (though his influence extended far beyond projects in that country alone), Rabbi Besser seemed to be in his element, juggling phone calls, correspondence, and meetings with community officials and staff in Hebrew, Yiddish, Polish, German, and English – his desk teemed with newspapers and faxes in all those languages.
Rabbi Besser's concern and care for each child in the Lauder Foundation's numerous Jewish day schools, for the anxieties of their parents, for the programs of the summer camps, and for the hiring and retention of qualified staff were as broad as they were deep.
In the hours I was privileged to sit in his office high above central Manhattan or at his Shabbat table on Riverside Drive, or the times I was privileged to carry his suitcase as he checked in to the Bristol Hotel in Warsaw as he arrived to help facilitate another multilateral conference on restitution of Jewish property seized during the war, I never saw him waver from his standard operating procedure: thoughtful, engaged, a crinkle of a smile playing around his mouth, ready with a wry witticism, a sparkle of kindness and delight in his eyes – and throughout, a true European gentleman.
Most significantly for me, I never saw him show fear of what others might say or think or write about him. He felt no need to defend his traditional Jewish beliefs or practices. He never evinced hesitation about joining forces with Jews and non-Jews-some who shared his way of life and others who did not – to build a better future for others.
There will always be those who divide up the Jewish world into "us" and "them," and write, speak, or think of "them" as wholly other. One of the most valuable gifts I received from Rabbi Besser was the living example of how truly to look at every Jew as one of the family.
Rabbi Besser impressed me as a complete Jew, fully engaged in the world. To those who say one must either give up much of one's particularistic Jewish lifestyle to have an influence in the world as well as those who question whether a deeply pious and strictly Orthodox person can connect meaningfully with the larger world without losing his bearings, I can only offer the following story (he related it to others as well, but when he told it to me he made me feel as if I were the first one to hear it):
In January1989, Rabbi Besser was in Washington as Agudah's representative at the inauguration of the first President Bush. As he sat on the dais reserved for dignitaries, quietly studying his small volume of Talmud, he was approached by two cardinals from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops who greeted him cordially.
When he returned their blessings, the cardinals asked if they might ask the rabbi a question. He quickly turned his eyes heavenward. "Please, Lord, help me with this one," Rabbi Besser implored the Master of the Universe.
"What is that you are studying, rabbi?" the cardinals asked.
"The Talmud," he replied.
"We thought so. Tell us, it is said that the Talmud contains everything in the human experience, is that so?"
Again, a quickly uttered plea for divine intervention. "Yes, that's so," said the rabbi.
"If so, does the Talmud discuss today's inauguration?" they queried, with a note of triumph.
Rabbi Besser's prayers were answered. "Well, I am in the midst of studying the tractate Rosh Hashanah right now," he said. "It discusses four beginnings of the year – and one of those is Tu B'Shevat, the new year for trees. So you see, your eminences, if the Jewish people observe a holiday for trees, surely that includes Bushes, too!"
Rabbi Chaskel Besser – mentor, role model, teacher, unparalleled storyteller, friend – passed away a few days short of his 87th birthday. I miss him dearly, and I think I always will.Rabbi Yossel Kanofsky

By James Feucht, PhD, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension
Dormancy in Northern Hemisphere plants is caused by chemical changes within plant cells. It is stimulated by cooling temperatures and shorter days in late summer and fall. This "binds" water so it cannot freeze and injure plant cells. To break dormancy, plants must first go through a period of cold (about 40 degrees F or colder) for an average of 63 days. This cold period triggers changes which, when warm weather appears, allows plants to "deharden" and resume growth.

Give a Hug
I have noticed that I do not feel as "sharp" or "smart" as I used to before I became a caregiver. I can only compare this to the mommy brain that I had when my children were both infants. When I am in a social situation lately I am at a loss for conversation. This is distressing to me because I look so forward to getting out and being around non-demented people and then when I am there I have nothing to say and feel out of place. I feel that people avoid me because of my situation. I may be sensitive but there are others out there who have a great amount of guilt about not taking care of their elderly parents and I think they feel awkward around me also. Being in the situation of having a low level stress at all times makes my mind simple. I read crappy magazines and watch dumbed down TV just like my Mom. I know there are gifts that go along with the difficult task of taking care of our elders and I appreciate those. I just do not want to become an empty shell with no personality.

I really understand your comments and it's scary isn't it? I feel like I've fallen into a rut and it takes too much energy to get out. A little bit like grief. Maybe we are grieving the life we can't have............the life we are sacrificing. It really helps to get my MIL away from me for several days. It's.a pain to organize and make happen................but it gets me to feeling like a human being again. Is it worth the expense and effort (getting respite care at a nursing home for five nights)? For me - yes. It helps to keep one foot in the real world so that once we're finally free, we won't have forgotten how to live and enjoy life again.

hadenough, I feel the same way when I go out. I usually end up listening a lot, which most people don't mind. Even when I'm listening, though, my brain starts tuning out.
It sounds like heaven to send our parent out so we can have respite. When we have pets, going somewhere ourselves carries extra stress. I wish I could get my mother to go somewhere for a week. She would if my brother would take her, but I'm not holding my breath for that to happen. Majorly jealous, Maria.

OMG yes! I am going crazy myself. Everyday is a new drama. I would also like to get my mother away from the lady next door but I can't lock her in her room? Or can I ? Just kidding..... I would never do anything to hurt my mother or any other human being for that matter but you know I suddenly see why some elders get abused and left in nursing homes, as horrible as that is it is because they are so mean to us. I think it is very important for us care givers to get some help ourselves!

Thanks all - so good to know that I am not alone in this difficult time. Respite is so important and so hard to get. I have been my Moms caregiver for 3 years now and have had a total of 10 days off! Three years - more than 900 days and my dear sibs have given me a total of 10 days of respite. I really do not know what to do anymore. It is just so boring and tedious.

I've done respite twice in 18 months for a total of 7 days and 6 nights and it was worth it :) If you can get hospice, there is no cost. With hospice, MIL qualifies for 4 days and 3 nights every month but I've only done it twice. Guilt monster gets me. BUT when I've done it...................it's been wonderful.They pick her up in ambulance and bring her back too. I highly recommend hospice
I know what you mean. Going out for breakfast with other family members (taking Mom along) is just not that fun for me anymore. Everyone talks about their newest car, their latest fun night out with friends, etc and what can I say? I sat at my desk and worked all day, and in between work I battled with Mom to get her to go to the bathroom on time so she wouldn't have an accident and then cleaned up when she had an accident because she refused to go? I washed 5 sets of sheets and 8 pairs of underwear today - go me!?! I listened to Mom snore all afternoon? Made a dinnner that I didn't feel like eating? Wooo, such excitement!
SIL occasionally asks me to go to the movies with her. I'd love to go, but I probably wouldn't enjoy it, because I'd be worried about Mom at home alone all the time - just like when I go to get groceries.

I feel that way too sometimes. I try my hardest to keep doing things that I enjoy such as the simplest thing of listening to music. I've had to really just work around everything. Like right now for instance. I'm feeding my grandmother breakfast haha. Feels like the only interaction I have with the outside world is social media so I'm checking it every hour so I don't miss anything being that I'm only 23. Even when I go out with my friends, I feel guilty when they ask me how my nana is because I really don't want to talk about her or think about her. I just want a few hours to be one person and not two. You just have to remind yourself that you do it because you care for your parents. I can't even bring myself to put my nana in respite care because I'm scared she'll pass away without me there.
Im off for a weeks holiday and im nervous as i dont go out at all? so im nervous about socialising? yeh like what have i got to talk about mum flinging her depends out her bedroom window!! i go to my friends next door at weekend for a drink but as her mum died from als the conversation always reverts back to this so i cant really get away from it.another friend used to call every week but shes go a man now and dosnt bother calling which i miss.Yes its going to be scary and interesting meeting new people and having stuff to talk about just hope i dont bump into another CARER!!! LOL
Lol @ kazzaa! When you're on holiday just reinvent yourself hahaha say that you're stripper if someone asks you your occupation. Make up an answer and have fun with it! You'll have something to chuckle about when you're cleaning up an accident lol

So good to know that I am not alone. Does not mean it is easier but at least others understand how isolating being a caregiver can be. Family dinners which used to be fun are now just filled with resentments. I am now working up my letter to my sibs about needing more respite and some kind of compensation for what I am doing. In reality I am just saving them all money. No one sends anymore money for Mom since I moved in, my savings are being eaten up because my Mom still thinks it is the depression and will not spend a dime on anything. I refused to live in her home the way it was and cleaned, fixed all the crap, redid the backyard and put in hardwood floors. All out of my own pocket. I am sick of this and ready to leave if my brother and sister do not step up. I get so angry thinking about it that I can not even approach them because I am afraid the volcano will erupt and I will say things that can never be taken back.

Research from Iowa State University shows that grazing boosts the level of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in milk. CLA is a fatty acid thought to help prevent cancer. Milk is one of the main sources of CLA in human diets.
The study involved 12 dairy farms in northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin. The researchers collected milk samples from the farms on a monthly basis. Then, they measured CLA as a percentage of the total fatty acids found in the milk samples.
During the study, the average concentration of CLA in milk was 0.35 percent in Iowa and 0.27 percent in Wisconsin. CLA concentrations fluctuated throughout the year. However, the highest levels were observed in the prime grazing months of May and June. For example, in June, milk from two of the farms had average CLA concentrations greater than 1.3 percent.

Sullivan West: it takes a state to raise a child
April 2, 2014 —
LAKE HUNTINGTON, NY — The March 13 Sullivan West Central School Board meeting was all about the kids. From superintendent Nancy Hackett, to the board members, to faculty and staff, to parents and public, there was universal agreement that the student musical, "Beauty and the Beast," presented March 7 to 9, was nothing less than a triumph of talent, spirit and hard work. Cited by all as an example of what students can accomplish when properly motivated, it serves as testament to what Sullivan West is doing right.
Student board member Joe Campanelli, himself a participant in Sullivan County's joint-school musical event, the All-County Concert, talked about the hard work entailed in lengthy and physically demanding rehearsals but also of the satisfaction of working cooperatively with schools that are normally athletic and scholastic rivals. Hackett added her kudos to those of Campanelli, saying that Sullivan West was represented at the All-County Concert in every musical category except strings. (Sullivan West does not offer instruction in stringed instruments because it has a band only, which has no stringed instruments.) Hackett noted that being selected for participation in the All-County Concert is recognition of superior musical talent.
High school principal Margaret Tenbus outlined new course offerings that included Advanced Placement (AP) courses taught by Sullivan County Community College, Rochester Institute of Technology and Syracuse University. AP courses are college-level courses that provide students with both high school and college credits.
An update on the disposition of the Narrowsburg Central School (NCS) building and grounds was presented by realtor Elizabeth "Beth" Burnett of Century 21, the real estate firm now in charge of selling the NCS property. Burnett described a social media blitz in addition to print, online and realty network advertising campaigns designed to market the property at an appraised value of $700,000. Burnett justified the appraisal, considered low by some, in light of prevailing unfavorable market conditions caused by a glut of school properties for sale. Nineteen schools have closed in New York State since the board decided to sell NCS; 15 of them are in the Hudson Valley. Still, Burnett was upbeat about sale prospects, mentioning that two serious bids have been received in the nine days that her firm has been actively marketing the property.

The right accessories can turn a cotton tank or simple jersey dress into a pulled-together outfit. This ocean-hued ombré necklace by Danielle Stevens makes a beachy accent for summer. The turquoise, sea-glass green, and aqua strands are made of lightweight wooden beads, so it's easy to throw in a duffel for a weekend getaway (and the joined single clasp means they won't get tangled on the way). It's a feel-good piece that works just as well with a bikini as a maxi-dress.
