New Holland's TZ21D sub-compact tractor is proving to be the ideal workhorse on the Berkshire estate of Roger and Jill Gent. This versatile 21hp tractor punches above its light-footed 662kg weight topping half-acre horse paddocks, mowing rough grass and orchards and keeping driveways tidy at Beedon Common Farm. The TZ21D is fitted with a purpose-designed mid-mount 1.3m mower deck and Roger finds his tractor invaluable for mowing. "I am very impressed with the quality of the finish when I am cutting, it is a very good cut," he says. "I have found that the size and manoeuvrability of the tractor and the visibility it affords are also excellent - the area around the stables is very tight so this is an essential quality." He also praises the user-friendly design of the TZ21D, explaining: "I can reach all of the controls from the seat and the deck raise and lower is hydraulic." Four-wheel drive makes light work of more challenging terrain and a ROPS frame protects the operator on sloping ground, while folding to allow access under low branches. When not busy mowing, Roger explains that he simply lifts the deck out of work to make even more use of the tractor. Despite its compact size it is robust enough to work with a 2 tonne flat roller and with a linkage box for those odd jobs around the farm. The TZ21D also makes light work of every horse owner's least favourite chore, towing a suction 'poo picker' around the paddocks to clean up after their inhabitants! New Holland groundcare dealer Oakes Brothers (Micheldever) supplied the TZ21D, a company with which Roger already has a strong relationship through purchasing agricultural equipment. He says: "I'm a big fan of New Holland tractors – a bit of a blue guy!"

27. Come to Me as Swami Shankara
Swami Shankara, thou dazzling star, soaring in wisdom's skies, thou hast shed thy light over many souls darkened by religious formalities.
Many sheep of human darkness have fled before the leonine roar of thy Self-realization. With Christ, thou hast sung: "I am He," "Thou art That," "I and my Father are One," and awakened us from our material sleep.
Thou first exponent of "matter exists not as it appears to be," we pay homage to thee.
O Swami of Swamis, thou didst teach us to behold the one ocean of Spirit, hidden beneath the dancing, melting waves of finite forms.
Thou didst tell us that our God is not gloomfaced nor revengeful, a seeker of faults, but that His face wears the aureole of all-alluring smiles. Thou hast shown us how to garner blossoming laughter of hearts, and how to adorn the vase of our souls with a bouquet of mighty, celestial laughter.
Our smiling lives were churned out of thy sea of light, and in thy oceanic joy our many lives dance; and at the lull of desire's storm, in thy vast laughter we will merge.
O Shankara, many have seen the sea of Spirit dancing in thy smile: We bow to thee!

Mr FowlerAs the previous reviewer said, this bag is perfect for middle-distance audax events. Very easy to attach/detach. Excellent quality - made to last!
Mr BarreiraBig saddle bag, holds firmly in the saddle rails, but is too big daily use, good for randonneuring, good for training, you can take off the bottle and put a spare road tire in the bottles net. plenty of small elastic bands to hold glue, repair patches, and tools. But remember is not so big that you can travel only with it, and not so small that you can use daily... For Audax untill 400km is a very good choice!

FCC tries to fly an internet tax under the radar
Here we go again. Unaccountable bureaucracy has decided it needs to tax you some more:
The Federal Communications Commission is eyeing a proposal to tax broadband Internet service.
The move would funnel money to the Connect America Fund, a subsidy the agency created last year to expand Internet access.
The FCC issued a request for comments on the proposal in April. Dozens of companies and trade associations have weighed in, but the issue has largely flown under the public's radar.
Well, for the usual reasons, of course:
"Today we propose three goals for contribution reform: efficiency, fairness, and sustainability," Genachowski said. "And we underscore that any reforms to the contribution system must safeguard core Commission objectives, including the promotion of broadband innovation, investment, and adoption."
That's right friends, they have first claim to your earnings out of "fairness". Because, you know, not everyone has internet and well, it's a "right" now, or something.
If you've ever looked at your phone bill, you know that you're already paying a fee (tax) called the Universal Service Fund . But that fund just isn't making it:
Consumers already pay a fee on their landline and cellular phone bills to support the FCC's Universal Service Fund. The fund was created to ensure that everyone in the country has access to telephone service, even if they live in remote areas.
So last year the FCC established the Connect America Fund to funnel subsidy money (taxes) into construction of an internet infrastructure, because, you know, private companies, the one's who've made the internet what it is today, simply can't be left to do that.
And in recent years, with more people sending emails instead of making long-distance phone calls, the money flowing into the program has begun to dry up. The Universal Service fee has had to grow to a larger and larger portion of phone bills to compensate.
As more and more homes go fully wireless that fund (taxes) they had is drying up.
Time to update the fee (tax) and fund. How? It's only "fair" of course.
The FCC could run into legal problems with the Internet Tax Freedom Act, a 1998 law that bans the government from taxing Internet access. But the FCC has long argued that Universal Service is a fee that the providers choose to pass on to consumers and not a tax.
Ah, providers chose to pass that along to consumers so it's not a tax. Right. I see how that works.
Numerous companies, including AT&T, Sprint and even Google have expressed support for the idea.
Gee, there's a surprise (*cough* cronyism *cough*).

Romney offers states control and the ability to create jobs, the NY Times offers spin
But remember, they're not biased.
What's a good way to for the Federal government to begin the long road toward economic recovery? Do something that creates incentives for businesses to hire and expand.
Here's one, but look how it is spun by the NY Times:
By proposing to end a century of federal control over oil and gas drilling and coal mining on government lands, Mitt Romney is making a bid for anti-Washington voters in key Western states while dangling the promise of a big reward to major campaign supporters from the energy industry.
He's "making a bid for anti-Washington voters in key western states" while pandering to "Big Oil". That's it? That's what this is all about?
State control isn't really bidding for the anti-Washington vote as much as a return to "federal" government vs.a national or "unitary" government. Here's the point:
The federal government owns vast portions of states like New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Alaska. Under President Obama, officials in Washington have played a bigger role in drilling and mining decisions on federal lands in the states, and such involvement rankles many residents and energy executives, who prefer the usually lighter touch of local officials.
It owns more than "vast portions", the federal government owns most of the West. And when an administration like the Obama administration takes the angle on energy it has taken, it is free to block and slow walk oil and gas exploration while carpeting vast stretches of the West with marginally efficient solar and wind farms.
Most believe those sorts of decisions should not be left up to the neer-do-wells in Washington. Those sorts of decisions should be left to the states and those who have to live with the DC decisions. But they're not. And consequently you see the difference as reflected in the progress in North Dakota (where the decisions are made by the state and local government in conjunction with private property owners) and Nevada (which is 80% owned by the Federal government and where most decisions are made in Washington). North Dakota is booming. Nevada is not.
Federico Peña, secretary of energy in the Clinton administration and now a co-chairman of Mr. Obama's re-election campaign, said Mr. Romney's plan would cause more problems for the oil and gas industry. "I cannot imagine a world in where there are 50 different kinds of rules and regulations for industry," Mr. Peña said. "To see Balkanization of rules and regulation I think would drive the industry crazy."
Really? Seems the industry is handling it just fine in those states in which it is already happening. And, my guess is they're willing to endure it in those states where the Federal government now restricts exploration and drilling.
"It is a preposterously bad idea — we are talking about federal trust lands that belong to the whole nation," said Bobby McEnaney, a senior aide at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.
Because it would be impossible to sort out those lands which should actually be in a "federal trust" and "belong to the whole nation" vs. those included just "because", huh Mr. McEnaney?
Here there is an opportunity to a) actually return to a bit of federalism and get the federal government out of making decisions states could make and b) create incentives that would lead to expansion of an industry, jobs, revenue for the federal government and produce more domestic oil and gas (which would effect the global price of those fuels).
Win-win, yet those possible outcomes are never mentioned by the NY Times.
Instead we get the "anti- Washington" (how dare the proles question their elite masters!) and "Big Oil" spin.
Some things never change.

IDG Answers is a community of experts who are passionate about technology. Ask a question or answer one below.
I've heard conflicting advice about Android security, for example: anti-virus app is essential vs. anti-virus app is worthless or virus are everywhere vs. viruses are rare. What actually is the biggest security threat for Android users?
You must be logged in to ask, answer or follow a question.
For Android, yes you may need it. Probably not for other operating systems though as most hackers target Androids. I would say if you're doing a lot of mobile banking/transactions than yes, it's probably a good idea to get an antivirus app. TrustGo has a free app that has great reviews https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trustgo.mobile.securit...
Honestly, I'd say that the greatest security threat is probably losing your device or having it stolen, especially if you don't use a lock screen. After that, malware probably is the biggest threat. Objectively, I really don't know how much good anti-virus programs do. I've had one installed on my phone for nearly two years, and the only "threat" it had ever alerted me to was a false positive. I'm not discounting that there are security threats out there, but the vast majority of malware is still directed towards Windows PCs, not Android devices.

What is the Apocalypse?
What is the Apocalypse?
We are treated to stories of an inevitable ending of the world at some stage. If one takes into account that our Sun must one day burn out then we know the planet will end in terms of providing life support for us, but we have no way of knowing if we will even be here then. There is also the possibility of the world ending due to nuclear holocaust or a meteor strike or something, but we simply do not know.
Wikipedia says:
An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning "uncovering"), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden, "a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities".
When one speaks to people who were involved in major tragedy or life changing event they often say that it felt like the world was ending. I am talking about people who were in major hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, etc. The tale of the great flood with Noah also refers to the world being flooded, but archaeological evidence would suggest the whole world was never under water during that period. Our idea of the world comes down to the situation we are in. All our "end times" seem to be more compartmentalised within communities or personal like New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina or the people who committed mass suicide at Jonestown. Their apocalypses arrived - if an apocalypse suggests the ending of life.
Spiritual Awakening.
An Apocalypse is rather a spiritual awakening or a life changing moment, that "lifts the veil" on something in our lives or about the universe in general. One often finds people who changed their lives after having such tragedies striking them.
There is no Death
The concept of death also does not exist within our universe as the law of the conservation of energy would point out. People who have had Near Death Experiences (NDE's) all tend to come back and tell us that there is not nothing after we die. If one takes into account that about 5% of the population on this planet have had an NDE then approximately 350 million people have had an NDE. 350 Million people have had a near death experience. 350 Million people can attest to the fact that life does not end after "death". Therefore death is not really an Apocalypse in the traditional negative understanding of the word.
An Apocalypse is simply the ending of one thing and the start of another - and is probably a spiritual awakening of sorts.

The Scientific Assumption
I have great respect for Science. It has given us so many ways to improve our lives.
The problem I have is that if one wants to be purely scientific then the question also has to be asked if the reality we know is real. All scientific method is based on measurements made by "scientists" or technicians based on what they perceive to be real, but we must remember that in as far as relativity goes we are simply assuming that those who measure and the measuring devices they are using are accurate, based on an assumption that this reality is real and indeed the only reality out there. This is further complicated by the understanding that Quantum Mechanics is incredibly difficult to comprehend in a logical manner. How does one understand superposition and the collapse of the wave function?
Furthermore, simply the existence of the word "Paradox" should be an indication that the world and universe is not only understandeable in logical terms. There is another way to see things here and it is not logical and I suspect that it should not be logical.
The problem with figuring it all out is that the human ego and fear will enter into it and degrade it all to egotistical money-making exercises. Remember that just like in religion science also has its high priests who do things for the wrong reasons. When you assume scientists only want what is best for the world you are partly mistaken because they are human beings who make mistakes and they want money and the adoration of their peers just like most human beings.
It may sound like I am attacking science here, but I am not. Without science we would not have lights, MRI Machines, surgical breakthroughs, etc. We would also not have nuclear weapons, though. The point I am actually trying to make is that we should remember that with scientific method politics and money enters into it. Do not mistake pseudo science for real science and do not just rate science on the egos of great scientists because they may be wrong.
Do not assume science knows it all because it does not and probably never will and that is probably good for the human race. If we knew it all we would also stop searching and what would be the reason for living then?

Why are Illegal Drugs Illegal in the First Place?
Why is Heroin Illegal? Obviously we all know the answer. It's bad for you - very bad. But then why is Morphine and Oxycontin not illegal? All of these are highly addictive, yet only Heroin is banned, which does not solve the problem anyway since Heroin is available for anybody who wants to use - at a much higher cost than if it were legal.
Look at the pie chart above and you will see where our problem lies. It lies with prescription drugs. The World Health Organisation estimates that in the US approximately 100 000 people die of prescription drugs every year and about two million are permanently negatively affected or by using these drugs, while only about 15 000 die of illegal drugs every year. Why are illegal drugs illegal then?
What makes this even more astonishing is that illegal drugs with potential to heal people of major psychological problems or give them necessary spiritual insights are also banned. Why are these banned?
LSD - Ability to help people drop addictions like alcoholism and can help with treating anxiety.
MDMA (Ecstasy) - Can help people get rid of PTSD and treat anxiety.
Psilocybin (Magic Mushrooms) - OCD, PTSD and anxiety.
Marijuana - Helps relieve pain and nausea, especially with cancer patients. Helps with epilepsy and a host of other disorders.
Ibogaine - Cures people of Heroin and drug Addiction.
Ayahuasca - Many healing properties such as helping to cure addiction and helping people connect with the spiritual side of the universe.
One may say that these drugs could be harmful, but so are prescription drugs, but we still use them. Strangely enough a medicine like Ayahuasca, which is terrible tasting and makes one purge is also illegal. Why would anybody want to abuse it? People use drugs illegally to have a good time, but with Ayahuasca very often one does not have such a great time - with exceptions.
The idea is created that there is another motive here. We take a lot of our direction from the US FDA. When the US FDA approves a drug it is accepted as safe, but the FDA loves money. When people love money they invariably have a very high chance of doing things for the wrong reason and for political reasons. The Pharmaceutical Companies make billions of dollars each year from pushing drugs. If they cannot make money off it they will not ask the FDA to research it and to research the new drug by means of clinical trials costs a lot of money.
Therefore we are probably stuck in this position because of our love of money. It is not about the health of people, it's about making money. The question you must ask yourself is, is this the world I want to live in?

Ibogaine Prevents Withdrawal Symptoms in Heroine Addicts - Is this an Addiction Cure?
Recently my interest in working alternatives outside of the realm of profit-orientated pharmaceuticals was re-ignited. Ibogaine, derived from the roots of the Iboga plant has consistently proven very effective in treatment of people deep in the throws of mainly Heroine Addiction. Within the first hour after ingesting the substance people are rid of their withdrawal symptoms. What follows is a period where the patient goes on a hallucinogenic journey. By the end of the treatment, which can last days the addict is an addict no more.
The only down side to all this is that if the person does not change his/her surroundings and friends he/she may go back to using again. Ibogaine is not a cure on its own, but gets people ready for treatment. Therefore Ibogaine is the most important step in getting people ready for healing by means of group therapy, etc.
Professor Deborah Mash, PhD, is an American professor of neurology and molecular and cellular pharmacology at the University of Miami School of Medicine and director of the university's Brain Endowment Bank. She is one of the world's foremost scientific experts on Ibogaine. She is or had been conducting trials with the substance in the Caribbean because in the USA Ibogaine is illegal.

Russian Officer brings in Air Strike on own position to kill ISIL Murderers at Palmyra
Details about this are kind of sketchy, but it seems like, based on various sources that the man pictured above brought in an air strike right on his position when ISIL Murderers were about to overrun him. Denis Tukhmanov was in position to bring in an air strike on ISIL positions when he was spotted and attacked. As they were about to overrun him he asked higher Command to bring in the air strike on his position killing him and many ISIL Murderers.
Let's salute a hero because that is what he is.

Can the drug Ecstasy (MDMA) cure Soldiers with PTSD?
This article by Jessica Winter appeared on Oprah.com on 15 February 2011.
Can a single pill save your life?
The following site is dedicated to the subject: http://www.mdmaptsd.org/
It would seem the jury is coming in on this one. Treating people with PTSD seems like a very effective and workable solution with high success rates in clinical trials.
One of the problems with PTSD sufferers is that they do not want to enter the space where their worst fear or traumatic experience lies within their minds. MDMA allows them to go there and to basically destroy the dragons there. The result is healing with varying results in different people, but is probably out performs anything else modern medicine brings to the table.
I for one would volunteer for this kind of treatment and if not legal here I will go where it is legal. PTSD does not just destroy the life of the patient, but also severely affects the lives of those close to him/her, like family.

The "White People" vs "Black People" Delusion
Recently in South Africa the term "White People" has been thrown around a lot, usually in a very negative context. Sometimes the term "Black People" is thrown around the same way in this country. When one uses the term "White People" or "Black People" in any way, even in a positive context one is being racist either to the other race or by referring to one's own race in a positive way you are being racist in excluding the other race from your praise. Therefore simply using the term, even when referring to the physical colour of a race's skin (since the skin colours differ in subtle ways and white people are mostly actually pinkish and black people are actually brownish), is racist.
People also tend to refer to a whole race based on what some members of that race did or did not do. We will see two white people being racist and refer to all whites as racist or see two black people doing something wrong and say it's their whole race. We are usually not interested in the whole truth because by making another bad we tend to feel superior and our egos really like feeling superior. When a black man says "all white people are racist" he includes those whites who support or supported his cause and in the same way when a white man says "all black people are ..." he includes those black people who are good people in his statement.
To add more water to the delusional fire there are no pure races either black or white. So when you refer to a race you also refer to that part of the race in you and a very clever person once said that we tend to see that bad in another person that we feel in ourselves. Therefore fix your own stuff first and everybody else would be happy.

Proteas Women beat England for the first time
Cape Town - An excellent batting performance saw the Proteas make history when they beat England by 17 runs in the second women's T20 international at Newlands on Friday.
The televised match, which suffered two rain delays, saw the hosts secure a win via the Duckworth/Lewis method to level the series one-all.
The decider, which will take place at the Wanderers on Sunday, will also be a televised double-header with their male counterparts.
England posted a hefty 156/6 after they were put in to bat by the hosts. Skipper, Charlotte Edwards got the innings off to a flyer after losing Tammy Beaumont for one. She was eventually defeated by a good ball by Suné Luus (2/26) for 34 in the ninth over. Sarah Taylor was once again the star for England with the bat. She hit 66 runs from 52 balls and shared a 63-run, fourth-wicket partnership with Heather Knight (29) to give their side a firm grip on the innings.
South Africa's batting response started with a 30-run opening stand between Dané van Niekerk and Trisha Chetty, before the latter was run out for eight in the fourth over. Van Niekerk played a Player of the Match innings, scoring 63 from just 43 balls, including seven fours and two sixes to give her side a winning foundation.
The match was twice delayed by rain, but at both points, the hosts were comfortably ahead of the Duckworth/Lewis par score. The second disruption saw an end to the match, giving the hosts a confidence-boosting victory to see them into Sunday's series decider.
Captain, Mignon du Preez was delighted to beat England and level the series.
"We haven't beaten England in a T20 before, so to do that today at Newlands was really special," she said.
"We got really close yesterday, but we let the game slip out of our hands.
"We weren't too worried when they got to 156 because we knew that Dané would set up the match for us. We knew that if we allowed her to play her natural game and score freely that we would get there in the end."
Du Preez contributed an impressive knock herself, returning unbeaten for 47 off 41 balls to help steer her side towards victory. Her 46-run partnership for the third wicket with Marizanne Kapp (21) was the difference between the sides.
"I think everyone chipped in to this win, which is what makes this match really special," du Preez continued. "There's always something that can be done better next time or a lesson to be learned and we will make sure we are in top form on Sunday in Johannesburg.
"We are really keen on giving England a run for their money and hopefully secure a series win in front of another home crowd."
Thank you to News 24.

The Banting Lifestyle - The last diet you will ever need
On 26 October 2015 I started the Banting Diet with my fiance. At that stage I weighed 105kg. By 17 December I weighed 94.7kg. I lost almost 10kg in just under two months!
I currently weigh 91.7kg, but am maintaining the weight for months now by adapting the diet. We do not banting the whole week, only on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. For the rest of the week we eat what we want. This adapted programme is probably not recommended, but it works for us. Now we can maintain weight and eat what we want.
I would recommend this diet without hesitation. The basics of the Banting Diet is summed up as follows:
Eat enough animal fat. This is central to Banting. Animal fat DOES NOT make you fat, and you need to eat it. Small amounts at a time make you feel full and stop you from overeating.
Eat enough vegetables. Vegetables should be your bulk-food and this means that you must try to have veggies with every meal. Green vegetables are the best – low in carbs and full of nutrients. There are a great many different vegetables on the Green list. Make sure that you have variety in your diet.
Don't snack. For the first week or so of Banting, that is, when you are going carb-cold-turkey, you may need to snack periodically, if only to keep your sanity. Make sure that you have Banting-friendly snacks at hand; we have just the recipes to curb those munchies in our Beginner Banting Online Program. Remember it is essential to have a good breakfast to set you up for the day. If you aren't losing the hunger pangs, increase the animal fat in your diet.
Don't lie to yourself. Eating carbs that are perceived to be proteins, like legumes, baked beans, peanuts and quinoa, will undermine your Banting attempts. Pay attention to the Red list – the forbidden foods. Quite simply, a red-listed item is either toxic or will cause weight gain. Foods on the Orange list must be eaten in moderation, with careful attention to quantity and carb content. We understand how time consuming counting carbs can be – so, we have made it easy for you by developing tools specifically for this task, our meal tracker and carb counter will help you Bant with ease.
Don't over- or under-eat. New Banters get nervous about the idea of not snacking and tend to go overboard at mealtimes. Don't worry about this. As long as there is enough fat in your diet, you will soon, without effort, be eating moderately-sized meals that will carry you through to the next meal. Never force food down your throat. When you are full, stop eating! If you don't feel like lunch, don't have it.
Don't eat too much protein. We cannot stress this enough. Banting is NOT high-protein eating. No more than 80 to 90 g of meat or fish is what you should be eating with any meal. [But don't be over-fastidious, to the extent that you feel deprived. If, on occasion, you eat at a steakhouse, choose the smaller option on the menu and don't fret. What is more, it is quite unnecessary to chop the pointy bit off the chicken breast!] Remember, the main thrust of banting is to cut the carbs from one's diet and increase your fat intake. The consumption of proteins should be unaffected or even reduced.
Be alert! Many ostensibly 'healthy' products and ready-made meals are full of carbs. Before you buy something, check the label. Five grams of carbs is the cut-off. If the carb content is higher, don't buy it. Also, avoid any product that professes to be 'low-fat'. The chances are that it will be loaded with carbs to compensate for the inevitable loss of flavour. When you start scrutinising product labels you will realise why it has in the past been so hard to lose weight. In the Beginner Banting Online Program, Jonno helps you decipher food labels – one of his top tips is, "If you couldn't have made it at home, probably stay away!"
Avoid too many fruits and nuts. Fruit is full of natural fructose (the substance that makes it sweet). Fructose is perceived to be 'good sugar' but for a Banter there is no such thing. Sugar is sugar regardless of its perceived 'goodness' and, while natural sugar is far preferable to refined sugar, its consumption needs to be strictly controlled. Of all the fruits, berries are best but even berries need to be restricted in some cases. The nuts on the Green list are low in carbs and great snack foods, but you must not go overboard. Nuts may cause weight gain in some individuals, especially women, so must be restricted to an occasional small handful. Macadamias are best as they are loaded with healthy fat and almonds are packed with fibre and goodness. Always choose raw nuts in preference to commercial roasted nuts, as natural is always better.
Control your dairy. Although dairy is good for you, it does contain carbs and can be a stumbling block for some people. When you start Banting, avoid eating too much dairy. In other words, limit your cheese intake as much as possible, use whole milk and double cream yoghurt instead of low fat choices and have cream in your coffee. Butter is always good.
Be strong!

Vanier's Ryan Froehlich competes in the senior boys discus at the Moose Jaw Invitational track meet Saturday. Froehlich finished second.
It may not have been the nicest Saturday for being outside, but the largest gathering ever at a Moose Jaw Invitational track and field meet had no complaints.
The cloudy weather suited the 477 high school track athletes that came from 27 schools to take part in the Invitational.
"I really liked it. It's usually hot, so this was nice," said Vanier's Sadie Schaeffer of the cloudy, calm day. She raced to wins in the 1,500 and 3,000-metre runs in the senior girls category.
Vanier once again won the overall title by collecting 496.75 points. Swift Current Comp. was second with 364 points, while Peacock was third (342.75) and Central was fourth (341.75).
Vanier had a number of strong performances, but used a complete team effort to pick up the points they needed for a comfortable team win.
Prairie South athletic commissioner Larry Segall said they didn't set out to have the biggest field in the history of the event, it just worked out that way.
"There were some funny stories, (Peacock coach) Renee Verge's nephew is a sprinter at Prince Albert Carlton and he wanted to come, so all of a sudden we have some kids from PA Carlton," said Segall. "A vice principal was transferred from Delisle to Dalmeny and so he wants to come."
All told there were only 20 multi-event winners. The other local winners were Vanier's Breanna Sanson in the midget girls 100 and 200m; Vanier Devon Schweiger in the senior boys 1,500 and 3,000m; Peacock's Nolan Thoroughgood in the midget boys 400 and 800m; and Vanier's Burke McDonald in the midget boys 1,500 and 3,000m.
In the junior boys category Peacock's Daniel Ferguson (1,500 and 3,000m), Peacock's Colton Woodley (triple jump and tied for first in the high jump) and Moosbank's Noah Miller (long jump and javelin) were multiple winners.

Sunday at the 2011 Masters started out with South African Charl Schwartzel making two shots from off the green in the first three holes. From there out, he played just well enough to stay in the mix.
Rory McIlroy came into Sunday with a four-stroke lead, and held that lead until the back nine, when the pressure started to set in. Rory had just about the worst start imaginable to the back nine.
Adam Scott took the lead with just a few holes to play, but the 26-year-old Schwartzel made birdies on the final four holes in what was one of the most amazing string of birdies in Masters history.

At the Oct. 2 meeting, Zermeno said there were 16 firefighters who had not received NIMS certification.
"Currently, all city staff is in compliance with NIMS with the exception of firefighter personnel," interim city administrator Larry Zermeno said. "We found 16 firefighters who were not certified. Since, then (Goliad VFD Chief) Alonzo (Morales) has come to and told me that four of them have passed.
"We would be subject to fines and may lose money if we have an incident. Should we have an emergency, the best thing is to be prepared for it."
Goliad County emergency management coordinator Peggy Fonseca said NIMS certification is vital for the city to receive government assistance and avoid litigation.
"NIMS is the standard practice of response to any kind of incident," Fonseca said. "It is a requirement for any type of preparedness funds. You went from 100 percent compliance to 84 percent. That makes you ineligible for any kind of funding.
"We at the county are 100 percent, because we stay up on it."
Fonseca she has discussed with Goliad County Judge David Bowman about getting all county elected officials certified. City council alderman Vicki Rubio recently became NIMS certified.
"NIMS is nothing to laugh at. It's the standard," Fonseca said. "You are going to begin seeing lawsuits based on the fact that there were no responses in a NIMS incident command structure, especially when there's death or damage."

The home-opener is upon us!
In just a matter of hours, football will return to Evanston. The line out of Mustard's Last Stand will once again be overflowing onto Central Street. All will be right with the world.
After last week's hard-fought 23-21 win over SEC-member Vanderbilt, the Northwestern Wildcats will set their sights a bit lower this Saturday as in-state rival Illinois State comes to town.
Illinois State is coming off of a thrilling victory of their own at their home-opener last weekend. The Redbirds outlasted Central Missouri in a 55-54 barnburner, converting a successful two-point conversion to take the decisive one-point lead after scoring with just 2:22 left in the game.
Now that takes courage.
Of course, when you nearly blow a game that you once led by scores of 27-10 and 40-24, I suppose drastic measures are necessary.
But let's be honest. I am not going to blog about what the Wildcats need to do to beat Illinois State or what kind of weaknesses they can exploit. After all, a team that gave up 605 yards of total offense and 547 passing yards to Central Missouri has no business hanging with anybody in the Big Ten.
Isn't that why you schedule Illinois State for your home opener?
Now that is out of the way, the thing to look for this week is how well the Wildcats can run the ball. Frankly, they should be able to move the ball however they want to on Saturday. After their dismal rushing performance against Vanderbilt last weekend, this is a chance to get back on track.
In the season opener, starting running back Arby Fields rushed 10 times for -7 yards. Ouch. Needless to say, that has to get better.
Fields, offensive coordinator Mick McCall, and just about everybody associated with Wildcats football acknowledged after the game that he fell back into a bad habit of trying to dance around and do too much, as opposed to pounding his way north and south.
"A lot of stuff I did in high school you can't do at the Big Ten level, like trying to run around everyone," said Fields. "Everybody's fast, everybody's athletic in a major conference."
It will be interesting to see how Fields' approach changes in front of the home crowd on Saturday at Ryan Field. With what figures to be a sea of purple watching on, the sophomore tailback will have plenty of opportunity to pound through the Redbirds' defense. Dan Persa will occupy most of the defense's attention – both in the passing and running game – leaving plenty of room for Fields to operate.
You better believe his coaches want to see the same thing, so expect them to call his number early and often.
Look for a big day from Arby Fields on Saturday. If he comes through, the Wildcats will be feeling great about an improved running game as their non-conference schedule continues. If not, they may need to begin entertaining alternative solutions to turn the ground game around.

Editor's note: This feature, a pictorial countdown to the kickoff of the 2013 Buckeye football season, was originally spawned in the Forums, but a fellow 11dubber suggested that it move to the blogs - so, here it is. Also, apologies for the tardiness of today's posting, but, well... I have a job, so... sorry. Enjoy today's installment of the countdown.
Some numbers are bigger than others. After two days of pretty epic installments of the countdown, featuring a slew of All-Americans, a legendary former coach, one of the greatest NFL defensive coordinators of all time, and the nation's only two-time Heisman Trophy winner, there was bound to be something of a letdown. And yet, at every number of the Buckeyes' roster over the history of Ohio State football, you'll find some measure of greatness.
For example, no fewer than four men to wear #43 earned the distinction of being an Academic All-Conference honoree. Three men to wear the number have been team Captains, including 1937 First Team All-American Carl G. Kaplanoff. Because Kaplanoff played in the mid-1930s, finding information on him has proven to be somewhat of a challenge - named to the All-Time Captain list at Ohio State, the 6-foot, 235 lb. tackle was drafted in the 12th round of the 1939 NFL Draft by the Brooklyn Dodgers. Not that Brooklyn Dodgers, this Brooklyn Dodgers.
Kaplanoff apparently played just one season for the Dodgers, and the team went 4-6-1, tying for 3rd in the East Division.
The next major standout at #43 didn't come along for another 40 years. Tailback Calvin Murray lettered at Ohio State from 1977-1980, and was named All-Big Ten in his senior season. Among his highlights, Murray set a school record for longest pass reception, hauling in an 86-yard pass from future convict Art Schlichter in a 1979 game against Washington State. Murray led the Buckeyes in rushing in 1979 and 1980, and led the Big Ten in rushing in 1980. He was named team MVP for his efforts that season.
Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fourth round of the 1981 NFL Draft, Murray's career didn't amount to much, despite the promise showed during his final seasons in Columbus. He was released by the team prior to the start of the 1981 season, but was re-signed on October 28 when Louie Giammona was knocked out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. He rushed for 134 yards, and spent the next year, the final of his career, playing for the Chicago Blitz of the USFL.
The most recent standout to wear #43 is fan favorite Nathan Williams. The Defensive End from Miami Trace high school spent five seasons with the Buckeyes and lettered four years. Williams successfully came back from season-ending surgery in 2011 to play in 10 games for the undefeated Buckeyes in 2012, recording 40 tackles, including 3.5 for loss, two sacks, and one pass batted away.
Williams finished his career a veteran of 45 Ohio State games and 20 starting assignments. He tallied 25 career tackles-for-loss and 12 quarterback sacks, both totals second among current Buckeyes, as well as 132 career tackles. During his four seasons on the field, he also had an interception, five pass break-ups, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
After going unselected in the 2013 NFL Draft, Williams agreed to an undrafted free agent contract with the Minnesota Vikings in April, planting the OSU flag on a team with no other Buckeyes on the active roster. Rated as the 28th best outside linebacker in this year's draft class by SB Nation, Williams' injury history was looked upon with some concern by league GMs. Here's hoping the story has a happy ending in Minnesota.
With that, we'll close today's installment of the countdown. If you've missed it so far, here are days 50, 49, 48, 47, 46, 45 and 44. Go Buckeyes!

Twenty in ten: strengthening America's energy security
Tonight, President Bush Will Ask Congress And America's Scientists, Farmers, Industry Leaders, And Entrepreneurs To Join Him In Pursuing The Goal Of Reducing U.S. Gasoline Usage By 20 Percent In The Next Ten Years – Twenty In Ten.
For too long, our Nation has been dependent on oil. America's dependence leaves us more vulnerable to hostile regimes, and to terrorists – who could cause huge disruptions of oil shipments, raise the price of oil, and do great harm to our economy.
America Will Reach The President's Twenty In Ten Goal By:
* Increasing The Supply Of Renewable And Alternative Fuels By Setting A Mandatory Fuels Standard To Require 35 Billion Gallons Of Renewable And Alternative Fuels In 2017 – Nearly Five Times The 2012 Target Now In Law. In 2017, this will displace 15 percent of projected annual gasoline use.
* Reforming And Modernizing Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) Standards For Cars And Extending The Current Light Truck Rule. In 2017, this will reduce projected annual gasoline use by up to 8.5 billion gallons, a further 5 percent reduction that, in combination with increasing the supply of renewable and alternative fuels, will bring the total reduction in projected annual gasoline use to 20 percent.
For the rest of the proposals, see the original.

Guillermo Davies Ore asked:
What is the composition of fire?
Chris - Fire looks like a solid thing but its not. Its actually just vapour. When you heat something up to a high temperature it shoves out chemicals which are volatile and flammable. They mix with oxygen which is coming from the air around them. They combust so they react with the oxygen and they burn releasing heat. They also produce some degradation products or burning products from combustion. When you make that it glows. Its incandescent and it gives out light at different wavelengths and different chemicals make different coloured lights. Thats why flames have different colours. Sodiums very common and that makes flames an orange colour. If you have incomplete combustion. If you have some sooty particles in the smoke or the vapour theyll glow orange as well. This is why you then see this orange pattern.

Guillermo Davies asked the Naked Scientists: Is fire any kind of matter? If so, which state of matter is it in, plasma, gas? What do you think? Guillermo Davies, Sun, 27th Jul 2008
Fire is more of a 'process' than a substance, I should say.
Technically a plasma is any ionised gas (subject to being shouted at by physicists) so a candle flame is a dilute plasma. A decent meter will let you demonstrate that a candle flame conducts electricity. Not many of the molecules get ionised, but some do.
Why do you hate me so?
Of course, I love you dearly. But my love of scientific truth tends to win out. Bored chemist, Thu, 31st Jul 2008

That's true - particularly around the outside. lyner, Fri, 1st Aug 2008
Why are you fighting? Someone tell what actually is fire. Does it have mass? Can it be made to occupy fixed shape? Why does it flutter? Why is it pointed at top? If it is a reaction, what are the reactants and products? If it were a process, I believe it shouldn't have been such a physical thing which could be seen. If it is a matter, it should be within three states. And Mr. Plasma, I request you to clear your concept as Mr. Process did. Pramod Kandel, Sun, 31st Jan 2010
Fire is the physical manifestation of an incorporeal reality or the spirit of Yahweh. That is the reason it can't be defined under matter as the other elements are and there has to be three (3) conditions in order to invoke fire. This is showing that the creator Yahweh is a 3-fold unity being the Father, The Word and Holy Spirit. At no point in time will you get Yahweh without the 3-fold unity just like there can't be fire without those 3 conditions present which are the fuel, oxygen and heat. Anthony Williams \"Bocetti\", Fri, 5th Mar 2010

Let's keep it Science please guys! imatfaal, Wed, 29th Jun 2011
Sorry - it's fairly simple; Fire is not just infrared light. (fire gives off infrared amongst other things). You might want to google convection, conduction and radiation as heat transfer methods. On the campfire example - this is one of the reasons it is much hotter downwind of a campfire than upwind. imatfaal, Wed, 29th Jun 2011
ch4 + o2= co2 + h2o. @ the = sign the flame exists. Is there a difference in the mass on the left side of the = sign from the right side ? ASSUME THE EQUATION IS PROPERLY BALANCED,sorry. CZARCAR, Wed, 29th Jun 2011
In fact, o2 is a molecular construction is it not? We need the fundamental answer, which I have given. Atomic was not even close, and molecular physics is even further from the fundamental answer. Mr. Data, Wed, 29th Jun 2011
The most familiar form of fire -- orange, yellow, or white flame -- is due to orange, yellow, or white hot sooty particles. It is a solid aerosol, and not really a gas or a plasma.
It says someone has posted.... I don't see this poster's post? Mr. Data, Wed, 29th Jun 2011
Mr Data,
I am not talking bollocks. I admitted fire was a process, but I proclaimed the state of matter was of infrared-type: This is what was questioned, and now I am threatened by another member without all the relevent facts. Well, let us leave it at then. I know when I am not welcome.... (even though I contributed to the physics)! Mr. Data, Wed, 29th Jun 2011
well then how do you explain St. Elmo's Fire? It doesn't have the process of combustion as you say.
" I proclaimed the state of matter was of infrared-type"
i think, fire has no absolute chemical composition just like electricity. to create fire, you do not need to follow some chemical rules like creating water which you can easily say as H2O.
nice link Bored Chemist.. but your youtube link doesn't explain in detail how fire works...nice dancing though... Dr. Junix, Thu, 7th Jul 2011
What is fire made of....? Fire as you see it (energy in the form of light)? Or, what is comprised resulting in fire? 4 components are required for fire to exist (together)...... heat, fuel, oxygen (air), and a chemical chain reaction. In that order...... It was formerly known as the fire triangle, but fire tetrahedron is the proper term as the fourth element being the chain reaction is what enables, and sustains fire buy maintaining heat which seperates gasses from the fuel source and so on. mlarsen77, Fri, 8th Jul 2011
I do not have a degree......didnt even finish college......but I know fire is not made of light...... Light is a form of energy released by the chemical chain reaction. mlarsen77, Fri, 8th Jul 2011
What is the composition of fire?
the atoms may glow as the electrons jump shells but radiance is radiance & it has no mass? CZARCAR, Mon, 11th Jul 2011
no.. fire has no mass.. same as electricity.. you cannot measure the it's mass.. Dr. Junix, Mon, 11th Jul 2011

Philz Coffee on College Avenue opens today
The third East Bay location of Philz Coffee is officially open for business. The College Avenue location in the new Safeway complex threw a soft opening party Tuesday as a welcoming gesture to the neighborhood, with the full management staff, including founder Phil Jaber, in attendance.
Philz, founded in 2003, has been opening new locations at a rapid clip over the past year; it opened on Gilman Street last summer and it held a grand opening for a Redwood City location last month. And, according to TechCrunch, Philz recently closed on $15 million in funding in order to expand operations beyond California. CEO Jacob Jaber told TechCrunch that he plans to open at least 10 more locations nationwide by the end of the year.
The College Avenue Philz joins the Gourmet Ghetto and Gilman District shops in the East Bay. It is part of the new Safeway shopping complex, and will soon be joined by C.R.E.AM., the popular cookie and ice cream shop. … Continue reading »
New Safeway on College Avenue opens to crowds
Hundreds of people jammed into the spanking new Safeway store on College Avenue on Thursday. Most were there to gawk at the shiny surfaces or taste a variety of free samples, but plenty of people were there to shop, happy to have a large grocery store back in the neighborhood.
The new store is 45,000 square feet and cost about $35 million to build, according to Chris Pattillo, chair of the Oakland Planning Commission, who spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The store employs about 160 people, and 65 of those union jobs are new, she said.
"We're excited," Bernard Hardy, Safeway's vice president of retail operations told the crowd that had assembled for the in-store speeches. "Tell your neighbors we're back. We're excited about being back in the neighborhood." … Continue reading »
Saul's applies to build a parklet in front of deli
Three parking spaces in front of Saul's Deli at 1475 Shattuck Ave. could soon be replaced by greenery and public seating.
Saul's owner Peter Levitt has applied for a permit to build a parklet, which would be the third approved under the city's Parklets Pilot Program launched in July 2013. The first parklet opened in front of the Cheese Board Collective in August. A second one was scheduled to open shortly after the Cheese Board parklet, in front of Philz Coffee and Guerilla Café. That scheme ran into some obstacles but is back on track. … Continue reading »
Allegro Coffee to open at new Berkeley Whole Foods
Allegro Coffee Roasters is set to open a craft coffee shop in the Whole Foods Market store at 10th and Gilman in West Berkeley which is slated to open on Nov. 4. It is Allegro's second location after Brooklyn where it also has a shop within Whole Foods.
Allegro Coffee Company was founded in 1977 in Boulder, CO, and was one of the first certified organic roasters in the country. It was bought by Whole Foods in 1997 and, since then, Whole Foods has offered Allegro's coffee as its signature house roast. Allegro continues to operates as its own business entity from its Boulder HQ.
At the new Berkeley store, Allegro will be roasting and grinding beans on-site. The coffee shop will be at one end of the store with a separate roll-up door for those who want to drop by for coffee and aren't necessarily shopping for groceries. Whole Foods spokesperson Beth Krauss said there will be "a nice breezy seating area outside the venue too." … Continue reading »

DRUNKEN FISH OUT, JUDOKU IN The team behind popular Korean restaurants Spoon and Bowl'd has a new enterprise coming to North Oakland. Chi Moon and Jessica Oh — who have two Bowl'd locations in the East Bay, in Albany and Oakland, as well as Spoon in Berkeley — are opening a new restaurant in Oakland called Judoku Sushi. [Note: Moon and Oh are using the company name of Jechi, and gave Berkeleyside the actual name of the new restaurant — Judoku — on Friday afternoon. Oh also said, via email, that Judoku means "addict" in Japanese.] The new venture is set to take the place of Drunken Fish on Piedmont at Broadway. Sushi spot Drunken Fish had quite a long run, but served its last meal Sept. 26, according to a reviewer on Yelp. No word yet on when Judoku will open or exactly what diners can expect to find, but stay tuned for details. The business does have an on-sale beer and wine license pending with the state — as well as a temporary permit already issued, which may bode well for a prompt opening. Judoku is set to be located at 3314 Piedmont Ave. in Oakland.

Shop Talk: The ins and outs of Berkeley businesses
GLOBAL EXCHANGE REORGANIZED The Global Exchange on the corner of Russell Street and College Avenue recently reorganized its interior to make the store feel more open and better showcase the artwork on sale. The bulky display pieces were taken out to open up floor and wall space, according to lead sales associate Lauren Matley. While it used to feel "cozy, like a marketplace," the space is now "happy and light," said Matley. The inventory is also more modern, with less emphasis on tribal crafts. Global Exchange, an international human rights organization "dedicated to promoting social, economic and environmental justice around the world," has two stores in the Bay Area. The San Francisco store opened in 1989 and the College Avenue store opened in 1991. Both places sell crafts made by artisans from around the world. … Continue reading »

Shop Talk: The ins and outs of Berkeley businesses
BELLHOPS Moving just got a little easier. In May, Bellhops set up operations in Berkeley. Using a business model akin to Uber or Lyft, the company hires local college students, or "bellhops," to provide customers with moving help. The company started three years ago in Auburn, Alabama, and rapidly expanded to 145 cities across the country. Currently, around 80 UC Berkeley students are available for customers within 15 miles of campus, according to co-founder Matt Paterson. Operations are decentralized, and the company doesn't own any trucks or garages, but its employees can rent moving vans if the customer requests it. As Patterson puts it, Bellhops is perfect for those who don't need a professional service and instead could just use some helping hands. And the company recognizes that letting strangers handle your possessions can be nerve-racking, which is why it sends customers pictures and profiles of bellhops before they arrive. Trust and exceptional customer service are central to the company's mission, said Patterson. … Continue reading »
Berkeley's first 2 parklets to open this fall
Sometime in the early fall, coffee-sippers and pizza-eaters may find themselves sitting outside at one of Berkeley's two new parklets.
If all things go to plan, the first one is set to open in front of the Cheese Board Collective at 1520 Shattuck Ave. in the city's Gourmet Ghetto, according to the North Shattuck Association's Executive Director Heather Hensley. A second parklet will open in front of Philz Coffee at 1600 Shattuck, and at Guerilla Café (1620 Shattuck) soon after. They will be maintained by the adjacent businesses but will be open to non-customers too.
No bigger than a few parking spaces, these miniature urban parks are extensions of the existing sidewalk and provide additional seating and green space for pedestrians. … Continue reading »

ALAMAR KITCHEN & BAR alaMar, which will focus on "sustainable seafood dishes designed to be shared and eaten by hand," is set to open in Uptown Oakland early in 2014. Owner and executive chef Nelson German, an alum of Supperclub San Francisco who most recently worked in New York, said he has been inspired by his travels to the Mediterranean where he savored "the sheer simplicity of seafood served with a flavorful sauce and a slice of perfectly grilled bread." The menu at alaMar (which means "to the sea" in Spanish) is likely to include dishes such as Local Dungeness Crab with Ginger Scallion Butter and Lemon Thyme in the winter, and Crawfish with Meyer Lemon Romesco Sauce in the summer. Desserts could be one-biters such as Mini Guinness Fried Ice Cream "Dibs". For lunch, think rustic artisanal sandwiches like Salt and Pepper Squid Panini and there might be Grilled Cheese Benedict for brunch. Carrie Shores of Larson Shores Architecture is working on an industrial-style decor in homage to Oakland's status as a port city. alaMar will be at 100 Grand Avenue.

The Tennessee Volunteers put on a show Saturday, April 20 at the 53rd Orange and White Game. The defense was Team Orange. The offense was Team White. At the end of the day, Orange prevailed 95-71, which looks eerily similar to a regular-season game from 2012.
Vol fans came out in full force, logging the second-most attended Orange and White Game ever. Butch Jones received a booming ovation, while Vols for Life like Eric Berry, Arian Foster and Montario Hardesty could be seen doing everything from interviewing to coaching to DJing.
(That's right. Watch out for DJ A-Foster in the future.)
It was a beautiful afternoon and only served to make Tennessee more excited about its first game on August 31. Here is a summary of those who were outstanding for both good and bad reasons...

Sound Off for February 18th: Do you support Chief Straub's crackdown on The Knitting Factory?
Spokane Police say four people were shot in two downtown incidents early this morning.
Both cases were connected and appear to be gang related.
Two people were shot at the Knitting Factory at First and Monroe just after 2 a.m.
And while responding to that call, police hear two more people had been shot at the intersection of Nora and Maple.
This is the 4th shooting connected to the Knitting Factory this year alone and police say they've responded to numerous other calls there.
In response to that, Chief Frank Straub announced he was shutting down the concert venue.
The business has 20 days to appeal the closure.
Straub says it's his hope this will get the Knitting Factory to work with police to clamp down on violence.
Are you pleased with his decision to get tough on crime? Or do you feel there is another way to do it?

Fifteen patients with toxic shock syndrome were seen in a 2-yr period at a university medical center. Five (33%) patients had severe cardiorespiratory failure and underwent hemodynamic monitoring before and during infusion of dobutamine hydrochloride (dobutamine). Three distinct hemodynamic stages were identified. Initially there was a hyperdynamic cardiovascular state with a high cardiac index (5.5 +/- 0.9 L/min+/-m2, mean +/- SEM), normal pulmonary artery wedge pressure (11.5 +/- 1.5 mm Hg), and low mean blood pressure (66 +/- 5 mm Hg). The second stage (decompensated) revealed myocardial dysfunction with decreased left ventricular fractional shortening. Serial two-dimensional and M- mode echocardiograms performed on two patients showed left atrial and left ventricular end-diastolic diameters at the upper limits of normal. The mean blood pressure recorded for all five patients was essentially unchanged; however, cardiac index decreased to 3.1 +/- 0.4 L/min[middle dot]m2 and wedge pressure increased to 17.5 +/- 2.1 mm Hg. This decompensated stage responded to iv infusion of dobutamine by an increase in cardiac index to 5.4 +/- 0.5 L/min[middle dot]m2, a decrease in wedge pressure to 11.0 +/- 2.0 mm Hg, and an increase in mean blood pressure to 100 +/- 10 mm Hg. During recovery, echocardiograms returned to normal. All five patients developed severe adult respiratory distress syndrome. All had reversible ECG findings of sinus tachycardia, diffuse loss of voltage, flattened T waves and diffuse nonspecific ST-T wave changes. Our findings suggest a reversible toxic cardiomyopathy as the cause of cardiorespiratory failure in toxic shock syndrome. Our experience suggests inotropic support with dobutamine is beneficial in selected cases.

Caring For Contact Lenses
Caring for contact lenses is critically important for your overall eye health, as well as protecting your contacts themselves. Improper care of your contacts can lead to eye infections, eye discomfort, and further vision problems. Second to protecting infection, proper lens care will make the daily wear of contacts much more enjoyable for everyone.
How to Properly Care for Contacts
Most would agree that contact lens care can be easy so long as it becomes a habit. The most important part of contact care is maintaining a daily schedule of cleaning and disposal. Listed below are some great tips for lens wear and lens upkeep.

Hotline, Winter 2004
by Suzanne Seppi, GASP Executive Director
Several months ago, GASP initiated a meeting with Dr. Dixon, Director of the Allegheny County Health Department. We also invited to the meeting some experts from Cummins Bridgeway LLC (distributors of Cummins Engines), as well as representatives from Allegheny County Port Authority who kindly agreed to participate. The goal was to create a model project to decrease diesel emissions in Allegheny County. Dr. Dixon was enthusiastic about supporting a school bus retrofit program and quickly took the lead to introduce this proposal to the Board of Health. The proposal was then sent to the Air Quality Advisory Committee and back to the Board of Health for its consideration. The Education Subcommittee, along with Sam Schlosberg and Tom Lattner of the Health Department, worked hard to develop the idea and prepare it for approval by the Board of Health.
Happily, on January 7, 2004, the Board of Health approved the request for an expenditure of $184,500 from the Allegheny County Clean Air Fund as a grant to create a demonstration school bus retrofit program at Penn Hills School District. County Executive Dan Onorato still must approve the grant. And what is a retrofit program, anyway? Retrofit refers to tailpipe equipment installed to decrease pollutants from the diesel vehicles.
Up to 75 buses owned by the Penn Hills School District are to be fitted with diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC). DOCs use a chemical process to break down pollutants in the exhaust stream into less harmful components. A typical DOC is a stainless steel canister installed in the exhaust system much like a muffler. The canister contains a honeycomb structure that is coated with catalytic metals such as platinum. There are no moving parts in the canister, but as exhaust gases pass through the honeycomb structure, pollutants and particulate matter are chemically oxidized into harmless gases.
A DOC can remove 20%-50% of the particulate matter, 70% of hydrocarbons, and 90% of the carbon monoxide that each bus generates. While a DOC can operate on regular higher sulfur diesel fuel with 500 parts per million (ppm) sulfur, it works best when operating on ultra low sulfur fuel (15 ppm). The Health Department was able to locate ultra low sulfur diesel fuel at 30 ppm, and the premium cost of this fuel will be covered by the grant. Starting in 2006, by regulation, highway diesel fuel sold as ultra low sulfur diesel will be 15 ppm, and will be required to be generally available at the retail level.
Penn Hills School District was chosen for the demonstration project because it is a district that owns its buses and is interested in reducing school bus emissions, but needs financial help to do so. Recently, the EPA also gave a grant to North Allegheny School District for a similar retrofit program. Hopefully these projects will encourage other school districts and bus contractors to clean up their existing fleets of buses. There will likely be additional funding available through the EPA and possibly through the Department of Environmental Protection in Pennsylvania.
Controlling diesel emissions is especially important because there are few other sources of air pollution that are so widespread and toxic. Diesel emissions include 40 hazardous air pollutants listed under the Clean Air Act, 15 of which are known or probable carcinogens. As much as 20% of diesel particulate matter is comprised of ultrafine particulates that are so small they can invade lung tissue and enter the bloodstream. Additionally, while children make up only 25% of the population, they represent about 40% of all asthma cases. Research shows a correlation between air pollutants such as diesel exhaust and exacerbation of asthma among children.
By approving a grant for this initiative, the Allegheny County Board of Health has put the Clean Air Fund to work in the community, reducing toxic emissions, especially for children.

"If you build it, they will come."
That phrase has held true with this LSU football program, which has built itself into one of the top teams in all of college football under head coach Les Miles. And of course, if you're team enjoys success, the top players in the country will want to be part of that success.
While this year's 2012 recruiting class was a bit of a disappointment for LSU standards, we have to keep in mind that not one of these kids have ever played a college game up to this point. A lot can change once these kids get accustomed to college football.
With that said, now that LSU has wrapped up its 2012 class, the focus is now on the 2013 group, and it will be interesting to see what top-notch players the Tigers' reel in for next year.
Let's take a look at some big-time 2013 recruiting targets who Les Miles and the LSU Tigers have their eyes on.
