Properties of wood samples in the mechanical pulping process can be studied using high strain rate loading tests. The mechanical properties are usually measured as a stress-strain relation. However, wood has an inhomogeneous structure and its properties are greatly affected by environmental factors. Because of the inhomogeneous structure of wood, the average strain over a large sample having several annual rings is not a satisfactory measurement. The local strain levels in the wood need to be defined. This thesis presents a measurement technique based on high speed image acquisition and correlation-based image analysis that allows the definition of the local strain levels in the sample during deformation. The main goal of the work was the implementation of a high speed image acquisition system and analysis algorithm as well as to complete the measurements. A representative number of samples are analysed to ensure the efficacy of the method and certain conclusions can be drawn concerning the behaviour of the wood. The thesis consists of three parts. The first part presents the measurements along with the test samples and the testing device. The high speed camera and camera optics that were used are also described. The choice of illumination method is discussed and finally there is an account of problems faced during the measurements. The second part of the thesis considers the image analysis algorithms. There is also a brief consideration of several alternative methods followed by an explanation of the basic principles of the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) algorithm. The second part concludes with an explanation of the algorithm used, which employs the same principles as DIC. The final section presents the calculated strain levels from the chosen samples. The high speed recording of the high strain rate loading process worked well and almost all the test cases were successfully recorded. The analysis of the test cases yielded positive results. The strain in the sample focussed on a few narrow regions. The wood in these regions underwent high deformation the while rest of the sample remained unaffected. In addition the fatigue level of the samples and test temperature was observed to have an effect on the strain levels in the sample. /Kir10

Zia losing skid hits seven
September 9, 2006
CANYON, Texas — If nothing else, Texas-Permian Basin proved Thursday's 3-2 volleyball win over Eastern New Mexico University was no fluke.
The Lady Falcons (4-7) beat ENMU in five games again on Friday in the Lady Buff Invitational, hosted by West Texas A&M. This time, they had to come from a 2-1 deficit, in games for a 30-32, 30-24, 20-30, 30-22, 15-10 victory.
ENMU got 21 kills from Jessie Macknicki, while Caitlin Murphy set a season high with 25 digs. The Zias (3-9), who have lost seven in a row, set a team season-high in that category with 99 digs.
The Zias complete play in the WT event today with a noon (MST) match against Southeastern Oklahoma.

Martel Moore had his best day of camp on Tuesday morning at Huskie Stadium.
The freshman wide receiver made plays when the ball came his way throughout the 2 1/2 hour practice. He outfought cornerback Tommy Davis to catch a touchdown in a drill where the offense needed a touchdown to win. He made his daily diving catch and ran consistently solid routes. The longer Moore keeps this up, the better his chances are of seeing the field this season.
"He's played well," NIU coach Jerry Kill said. "The thing about Martel is that he hasn't gotten run down during camp. He's been able to maintain the same speed. The guy isn't real heavy but he doesn't seem run down. He continues to do well and show up. He wants to play."
Right tackle Kevin Skatrud will see a doctor on Thursday to get an examination on his injured left knee. Skatrud has been out of practice for about a week.
The defense won the 4-yard drill in dominant fashion, 6-1. The No. 1 defense won all four of its points against the No. 1 offense, holding up running back Chad Spann just shy of four yards on two runs. DeMarcus Grady connected on a pass to Preston Williams for the offense's lone point in the drill.
Speaking of Grady, after watching him closely for a few days it's tough not to notice what he's gotten better at. What I think is at the top of the list, though, is his pocket presence. Twice in 11-on-11 play he kept plays alive with his feet but instead of taking off on a run, he kept looking through the progression of his wide receivers and found an open wideout for a long gain.
"I think it goes with experience," Kill said. "He's getting a lot of reps. That has a lot to do with it."
Defensive end Sean Progar had his second straight good practice. He's bulked up since last season and he's starting to learn how to play with that weight effectively.
Kill said his punters have continued to do well and that he feels good about the position. Kicker Mike Salerno does work with the punters, but don't look for him to punt on Saturdays in addition to his kicking duties.
"I'd rather not," Kill said. "I don't think we'll have to do that. I feel comfortable with the other two [Josh Wilber and Ryan Neir] ."

Also, is it better to warm ferment for an hour or so before placing the dough in the refrigerator for a 24 to 72 hour cold ferment after mix/knead?
thanks TXCraig1.I almost believe warm ferment, after trying many cold ferments, zero structure or taste difference. Many times I do the "emergency dough". Three hours warm ferment.Please tell me your warm ferment time and temperature TXCraig1
difficult to get that temperature continuous unless you have a cellar. But very possible.
fellow Texan
Scott, I'm pretty sure you have used both All Trumps bromated and All Trumps unbromated. You too, Chau? Anyone else? If so, I'd love to hear how your experience compares to mine.
Can you add Bromine to flour?Also, my understanding is that iodine in the early/mid 1900's was used, then it was replaced with Bromine in the mid century.Not sure if Bromine works better, or if it was cheaper. It competes with iodine in the uptake to the thyroid (theoretically), they are close on the element scale. Some claim this is the reason for many ills, but I also read it is evaporated during baking, which I cant see how, it's a solid.1. Anyone ever tried iodine in the flour? 2. How big of a difference does bromated flour make in the final product?
Bromine is a very unstable metal, toxic yes.I was referring to adding potassium bromate. Which is Bromine chemically bound to potassium.
I live near The Woodlands. Built a house on an acre in the sticks 16 years ago , now the sticks are nothing but neighborhoods. Progress I guess, but I prefer woods.Hey, read through your post "Simple and Effective Bulk Ferment Set-up w/ Temperature Profile", love it. I am a BSEE, and am always designing/building my own inventions. nice.I was a little confused on the graph "water-right.jpg" and " water-left.jpg" :a. These two graphs represent four different temperatures ( two water, 2 air). Yet I see only two temperature elements. Am I missing something?
b. One of these graphs shows the water lower temp than air ( water-left.jpg), the other shows the air lower temp than the water (water-right.jpg). Is this correct?
Also ( help me, the engineer always comes out):1. Why do you feel 64-66F/24 hours is best for IDY? Is there further reading on this?
2. I have read that the lower temp always the bacteria to reproduce better, and slows down the yeast, thus increasing lactic acid.
And that flour naturally have bacteria in it that will accomplish this. I notice you have a culture, I do not. Do you feel all flour has some bacteria to replicate this affect resulting in lactic acid?
3. Does the bacteria growth result in other by products?
4. Why not just add these by products in (lactic acid, acetic acid, etc)?
5. I am thinking a small wall mount A/C from Home Depot, and a small insulated box may accomplish the desired 64-66F. Comments?
but good for dough
wow! TXCraig1, thanks.Yes, I got a bottle of lactic acid from a local brewery supply shop. I added way too much lactic acid and I never tried it again. Also added some vinegar once, no taste difference.
Somebody brought this idea up in one of my older threads, and suggested to try a vial of lactobacillus. http://www.whitelabs.com/yeast/wlp677-lactobacillus-bacteria?s=homebrew Is this what you have? Or do you really have a bottle of lactic acid?A couple things that turned me off to it was the price and some fine print that said "best results after 2 years of aging", so I wasn't sure if it would produce what I was looking for. I'd be very curious of your results either way.
I should note that my "sourdough" crust is not sour - most sourdough (SD) isn't. My goal is not to make San Francisco sourdough bread pizza. I have a different culture that would do it, but I don't like that in pizza. I would describe my dough flavor as "rich" or even a little "creamy." Its a much fuller flavor than you can get from baker's yeast, but definitely not sour. I'd be curious to taste a dough made with the direct addition of lactic acid - my guess is that it will be very one-dimensional. There is a lot of other stuff going on in SD dough. I'm also curious how it will affect the yeast. In a normal dough, the build-up of acids is very slow. Added directly, it will have to be all at once.
OK, I see, I just assumed sourdough, sour taste desired, therefore add lactic acid. Not so, as you say many activities going on in there, which I believe is not even fully understood by the academic world.
Problem with pre ferment is it would be like having a pet to take care of, must feed and water it.
Do any/most of the famous NY pizzerias use pre ferment? Any major chains?
Acetic acid is typically responsible for most of the sour flavor in shourdough. Lactic acid tends to contribute more to the aroma. But unlike a pet, you can stick it in the fridge for several months with no ill effect.No, very few places do. Not because baker's yeast delivers a better product but rather because it is much simpler and requires a lot less in the way of skilled labor.

Hi Bellas,
Here's a quick tip of the day for you. Do you have dry skin? Your typical body lotion isn't doing it for you? Well I have a quick tip that works wonders!
Click here for more!
I recently purchased Aveeno Body Lotion. I use a sample for my hands but was disappointed to find that it wasn't quite moisturizing enough for me. It also takes a little bit of time to rub in which I don't like. While I was on twitter, I saw that somebody added their argan oil to their body lotion. What a great idea!

Commissioners to act on Legacy Grant
NEW ULM – Brown County commissioners will consider signing a $321,972 Conservation Partners Legacy Grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for Spring Creek trout restoration, Tuesday.
In November 2012, Brown County applied for the grant to work on stream bank stabilization projects in the public fishing easement area along the stream corridor, several miles either side of State Highway 4, south of the Minnesota River, according to the Request for Board Action (RBA).
The total grant amount that was applied for was granted to Brown County, which will act as grant administrator and fiscal agent, according to the RBA. the grant term runs until June 30, 2016.
The State is in need of habitat work on public habitat work on public lands to improve habitat for fish, game, and wildlife to improve public recreational opportunities, according to the Legacy Grant worksheet.
Brown County will provide a match of $33,178 in non-state cash or in-kind services for project completion. All conservation easements must be permanent, where appropriate for conservation or water protection outcomes, require the grantor to employ practices retaining water on eased land as long as practicable; specify the responsibilities of the parties of habitat enhancement and restoration and the associated costs of these activities, according to the RBA.
All acquisitions and appraisals must follow Land Acquisition Procedures for Land to be Conveyed to the DNR, which are incorporated into this grant agreement by reference. Documents can be found at www.dnr.state.mn.us/gdrants/habitat/cop/landacquisition.html
The State may cancel the grant agreement at any time, with or without cause, upon 30 days written notice to the Grantee. Upon termination, the Grantee will be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily performed, according to the RBA.
Commissioners will also consider:
Public Health Director Karen Moritz' update. She reported her office responded to the recent flu outbreak by participating in regional planning and reporting conference calls, forwarding Minnesota Department of Health alerts to its partners, working with all clinics, hospitals, schools, pharmacies, and long-term care facilities to monitor illnesses, supplies, medications and vaccine available plus assist with messaging and answering questions.
Moritz reported a decrease in county clinic traffic and hospitalizations the third week of January, but there is still cause for public awareness.
"It is still very real. The public needs to continue to be aware of the symptoms, cover their cough, wash their hands and get vaccinated," Moritz added. "It's not too late to get the flu shot."
Brown County Public Health received 200 short-term radon test kits for public distribution from the Minnesota Department of Health at no charge. Some kits will be available at county offices in Sleepy Eye and Springfield.
The meeting starts at 9 a.m., Tuesday, Jan. 22 in the courthouse commissioners room.

Skip to comments.After Fatal NYC Subway Shove, Asking: Were There No Heroes {Naem, Umar Abbasi}
Posted on 12/05/2012 7:49:33 AM PST by Cronos
The question of the day in New York City on Tuesday what would you do? rode on a wave of outrage over a harrowing act the day before. A clearly agitated man pushed a 58-year-old stranger onto the track of an oncoming subway train in Midtown Manhattan.
The man, Ki-Suck Han of Elmhurst, Queens, was struck and killed.
... One law enforcement official said that the suspect, originally from Africa, Naeem Davis was a peddler and was on the street working when he was taken into custody. The official said that detectives were trying to determine a motive.
..The freelance photographer who took the pictures, R. Umar Abbasi, defended his actions in an interview. Im being unfairly beaten up in the press, he said at his apartment...
Mr. Abbasi said he was wearing a 20-odd pound backpack of camera gear for an assignment, and was standing near the 47th Street entrance to the platform when he saw the man fall on the tracks. Nobody helped, he said. People started running away.
I saw the lights in the distance, signaling a subways approach, he said, so he started firing off flashes on the camera 49 times in all, he said as a means of warning the driver.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Of course. Once the victim was hurled on to the tracks, only one person actually tried to take action and prevent a tragedy.
Of course the press is all over the SOB who tried to do something. The press wants people to be sheep and accept all bad things with nothing more than a whimper. To take action? That just makes our masters angry.
They should pass a law making it illegal to push people off of subway platforms. That would stop it!
but what does Bob Costas think of all this.....
We need to ban pushing... falling... standing... subways...
but let's not blame the obamanite that pushed the poor guy.
They should abolish the railway so many people die falling on the tracks.
Why are we importing half-mad "street peddlars" from savage Africa? Who thought the killer would contribute to our society? From his name, I would guess Nigeria, the worst of the worst. You can't walk here from Africa. Some State Department Consul gave this bozo a visa. You can't get on or off the plane without one.
I say if there wasn't a train coming down the track, this guy would be alive today. Get rid of all subways and make the world a more peaceful place
"Asking: Were There No Heroes"
In NYC and others people are constantly told NOT to intervene. City officials tell people "Dont be a hero", "let the cops handle it". Then they wonder why there are no heros.
Like there aren't enough crazy people in NY, now we are importing them from Africa.
I wonder what would be the effect of banning Arabs?
There's some sort of human smuggling going on from the African countries too. (Obama's relatives- uncle and aunt are good examples). Hopefully, they didn't give this guy a visa, but who knows in this crazy government.
I think if it were a woman, several men would have tried to help.
If this were a private company instead of a government entity, OSHA would be all over them.
Can you imagine what they would do if anyone else had large machines operating in a public area without safety shields and and lockout devices in place? Why are there not fences and gates to prevent this? Look at rides at any amusement park.
Hispanic/white man shoots black hood in Florida in self defense = we are still a racist society and have so far to go and need so many more laws "protecting" minorities.
Possible illegal immigrant black man pushes white/asian man to death on a subway line for no other reason than that he was mad = who cares, just another day.
The photo I saw the could have crossed the tracks and there was an open passage way! In his panic all he could think was to get back on the landing! IT is terrible that the pic did not show some citizens helping they guy!
And no one yelled to him to cross the tracks! That said he may have been injured in the fall and could not motivate. Regardless hopefully this criminal will be behind bars forever since Ole Sparky has been decommissioned!
And I could understand someone being wary of pulling him up for fear of being pulled into the tracks. You would need more than one person to accomplish that.
Also, it is very loud in the subway when that train is approaching or if there is another one on the other tracks, so he may not have heard anyone anyways, even if they were yelling.
Yes, Ole Sparky needs to be brought back in NY, it was taken out due to the death penalty law that was on the books being ruled "unconstitutional" by judges a bunch of years back. And of course, the state went so liberal that there is no call to correct that.
You know, if there were no subways, this man would be alive today. WE NEED SUBWAY CONTROL.
To be fair, helping that man would have taken some titanium balls. The platforms are high and the subway trains don't creep into the stations.
Trying to signal the train operator was probably the wisest thing to try, although the operator may have had trouble seeing the man on the tracks if his eyes were adjusting from the dark tunnel when the camera started flashing at him.
A horrible travesty, but we should not be punishing those who couldn't figure out what else to do.
I wondered if it was a station that had more than 1 set of tracks.
With the sound of the train approaching, being dazed from the fall & people yelling, he may not have understood.
"What happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here." the Army Chief of Staff, Gen. George Casey, on ABC
They came as part of a package deal with the Kenyan president.
I know what I would have done.
I would have quickly ripped off my shirt, exposing my cape and the large "S" on my chest. Then I would have yelled to the man, "Who did you vote for? "
If his answer was, "for love of country", I would have jumped to his rescue.
If his answer was, "Obama", then I would have asked him, "where can we find your dental records..... ? "
How did a man that stupid get to be Chief of Staff.
I don't advocate busting anyone's balls - just there are no more hero's in New York. Seems they have been cowered by the government.
There is no way to guarantee any saving him would have been successful anyway.
Here is CA, we used to have a "good Samaritan" law that protected you from legal liability if you try to stop and help someone so now if you stop at a car wreck and try to help the victim could sue you. It is silly. I am sure NYC has the same.
The truth is that Liberals are the least generous, least benevolent people in the country.
Uh...several months ago an unemployed man on his way to a job interview rescued a child in a stroller who was blown on to the subway tracks by the backdraft of the departing train. New Yorkers rallied to his prospective boss asking that the he hire the hero. He did hire him and everybody had a happy ending.
I would think with your moniker you would have remembered this story.
but the ones who most decry the lack thereof when they are in need... (They're entitled, don'tcha know...)
There's a new report that the victim was drunk and engaging with the maniac.
Again, I issue this warning: stay waaaaaaaay behind the yellow line and don't talk to crazy people. Pretty simple really.
This is a difficult situation for the media: There doesn't appear to be any white people who can be blamed for this.
If it weren't for subways, this man would still be alive. ~ Bob Costas
I think they should make a law that requires all subway trains to be made out of Nerf so that they would bounce off of you if they hit you.
"I would think with your moniker you would have remembered this story."
I have been living in upstate NY for quite a while. The moniker is from a professor attempting to describe the cause of the interpersonal problems between me and my colleagues/professors as a graduate student in a southern university. The culture shock on both sides was considerable.
the hong kong subway has glass doors that are closed until the train comes in, shutting off the tracks from teh platform<
I can appreciate what you say - the New York attitude doesn't always sell in other places.
Installing footholds along the platform walls to make it possible to climb out would make too much sense I gather...
"Trying to signal the train operator was probably the wisest thing to try"
Isn't it amazing how well composed his accidental shots are when he was simply trying to warn the operator with his flash?
If I were warning someone with a flashing light I'd be sure to point it right at them. Makes sense, right? And since the flash is pointing where the camera is focused...I'd expect the operator of the train to be the center of the shot.
Yet they're so well composed.
Crazy luck, that.
As for punishment...what punishment could there be?
But don't stand by and watch a man die so that you can get a great shot...and then expect people to like you.
So that, when coming out of a dark tunnel, you can dilate their pupils and they won't see what you're trying to warn them about?
As I think about what was probably going on during the scene, especially how fast those trains pull in, I'm surprised anyone thought to do anything.
That makes sense.
The NY subway system is 100 years old and the city has spent money that should have gone to maintenance on social programs.
Which politician will get elected?
The one who will build a new stadium or the one who pledges to fix the sewer system?
They should pass a law making it illegal to push people off of subway platforms.
We'll need to set up a commission to study subway incidents, first.
Then negotiate pay and benefits packages for the commissioners.
Since this happened in New York the appropriate union must be involved. Antonio (knuckles) Graziano has already voiced an interest in unionizing commission employees
No one wanted to become the next "Subway Vigilante", thanks MSM. Thanks Cronos.

I've written before about Quinn McDonald's book Raw Art Journaling: Making Meaning, Making Art. She started a workshop based on the book at the Artists of the Round Table Yahoo Group. I was excited to sign up but because I was in Washington and had limited Internet access I was late getting started. I've been so busy I just can't seem to get focused so I'm following Quinn's worksheets without really staying with the group.
You always wanted
to make a difference,
to discover harmony
and a future of hope.
You only need
to relax
stay positive
and watch the squirrels
The background was done with Neocolor II Watersoluable Crayons, glue stick, Rapidograph pen and Caran d'Ache Supracolor Soft Aquarelle pencils with a waterbrush.
The next type of found poem is more difficult. Take a page from a book and circle words and phrases that make sense and form your poem. This one reads:
"My parents
gave me the gift of
exquisite molehills,
a green diamond,
and tiny green pearls.
I proudly jump for joy.
No one taught them to fly.
Growing up has its
own treasures.
We hold perfectly still
as feathers come down to our pond,
a fragile family treasure
for imaginary refuge."
This made some sense at the time but now I'm not too sure. That's okay, I'll do more.

Catalog • 2012-2013
New Media - Major
For information, contact Dr. James Brancato.
Program Description
New Media is the convergence of all forms of media---audio, video, and text---as it is delivered digitally through web and mobile technologies. The New Media Major at Cedar Crest College offers an interdisciplinary study that combines both the practical skills it takes to create new media with the historical and theoretical understanding needed to be a successful communicator in the 21st century.
The New Media major comprises the study of the convergence of digital media technologies and the trajectory of their impact on the future of the arts, society and culture. Students will examine new media technologies from an interdisciplinary perspective, with the goal of understanding them from the point of view of design and application, content production, sociological impact and influence, cultural critique, and artistic expression. At Cedar Crest College, a New Media program housed in the Communication Department signifies a commitment to 1) interdisciplinary study, and 2) teaching students not only the skills but the theoretical understanding of how converging digital technologies are used and will be used to influence society and culture. It is this approach to critical thinking and the liberal arts that distinguishes the New Media major at Cedar Crest College.
A major in New Media enables a graduating student to find entry-level positions in any field where the activity, implementation, processing or study of communication in new media environments is a primary focus. Students majoring in Cedar Crest College's New Media program pursue careers in many fields, including journalism, public relations, development, marketing, personnel, advertising, video production and post-production, film and broadcasting. Many students also go on to graduate study in a variety of disciplines. The program opens up opportunities in research, teaching, corporate communication, government, public information, international relations, human services and media and book publishing.
Additionally, the New Media major is part of the Communication Department, which plays a crucial role in student life and campus culture through the sponsorship of the student newspaper, "The Crestiad," the campus radio station (CCC Radio) and the Convergence Lab. It plays a central role on campus in the study of the liberal arts and social sciences and contributes to the arts and performing arts through the development of aesthetic appreciation and practical skills using media technologies. The Communication Department also emphasizes the need to create a portfolio that represents a student's best work during their time at Cedar Crest, and can be used to her advantage when applying for communication jobs upon graduation.
All majors in the Communication Department, both in the design of the program and the design of the individual courses, reflect an interdisciplinary perspective, grounded in the liberal arts curriculum. At the end of her course of study, students are expected to be able to talk and write about communication, its forms, media, content and activities. She is also expected to develop the capacity for critical thinking and insight needed both for professional excellence and as an educated citizen in a world dominated by media information and persuasion.
Total number of credits: 43
Program Requirements
A grade of C better is needed for courses that fulfill major and minor requirements. Courses transferred from other colleges may count towards the major only with the approval of the department.
Capstone Requirement
The New Media major provides students with the opportunity to choose between writing a senior research thesis and conducting a senior professional project in order to fulfill their capstone requirement. This latter option may be done in conjunction with an internship.
Students conducting a senior project are required to submit for pre-approval a proposal outlining their project, the project's connection to a field of literature in communication, a schedule for the submission of progress reports, their internship responsibilities (if applicable), and a final analysis of their project. Students may work with an outside co-advisor in a related field for their senior capstone requirement. For instance, a student in public relations may want to work with a co-advisor in marketing, etc.
Students are not required to complete an internship for the major. However, it is highly recommended that students who do not plan on immediately continuing on to graduate school complete at least one, if not more, internships. Internships may fulfill up to 6 credits towards completion of the major (the completion of two internships of three credits each is specifically recommended).
"The Crestiad" and Cedar Crest Campus Radio Club
Students have opportunities through these campus organizations to report, write, edit, announce and develop advertising and promotion campaigns, oversee finances, etc.; these skills are crucial to many careers in New Media and the field of communication in general. Credit earned for participation in "The Crestiad" can only be applied to the New Media major typically if a student works for the online edition and has approval from her advisor. However, the department encourages students at all levels, including freshmen, to participate in these organizations.
Course Requirements for the New Media Major

Geographic Range
Zalophus californianus are found along the shore from California to Mexico including Baja and Tres Marias Islands, in the Galapagos Islands and in the southern Sea of Japan (Scheffer, 1958). The populations in each area do not interact with other populations (Scheffer, 1958) and therefore are considered subspecies. California sea lions tend to seasonally migrate long distances (Riedman, 1990). Males usually migrate north to British Columbia after the breeding season (Mate, 1978).

A key concern is the so-called 1.1 million-square-mile 'donut hole' in the central Arctic Ocean.had originally thought. While it appears that ice-dependent mammals such as polar bears and beluga whales could be in trouble, scientists are reporting that the great bowhead whale that was nearly hunted to extinction in the early twentieth century is making a remarkable comeback. And commercial fish populations such as Pacific herring and ocean perch appear to be expanding dramatically in some places.
Concern is growing about the exploitation of this untapped resource in the heart of the Arctic.along the shallower perimeters of the region, it wouldn't require a long migration for these fish to move in and out of the "donut hole." The small Arctic cod is not what commercial fishermen are after. But because they are found across the Arctic region and play a key role in supporting larger fish populations, they will play a pivotal role in the expansion of Arctic fisheries.
Large parts of the Arctic are fertile fishing grounds that have already been overexploited.the changes that are taking place in the marine ecosystem. While the new regulations close all U.S. waters north of Alaska's Bering Strait, fishing in the Bering and Chukchi seas continues.
Oceanographers are seeing a shift on the sea bottom from an Artic to a sub-Arctic ecosystem.almost 75 times the amount reported by fishermen to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) during this period.

Revised February 2012 to implement Policies Governing the Indiana State Historical Marker Program approved by the Indiana Library and Historical Board, February 24, 2012
Jump to: Appropriate Topics Topic and Text Restrictions
Obtaining an Indiana State Historical Marker Maintenance of Indiana State Historical Markers
Relocation, Removal and Replacement
Appropriate topics and significance
Marker topics may be events, individuals, buildings, sites, and other entities that have statewide significance; regional, national, and/or international significance will be recognized as well.
Restrictions related to Indiana State Historical Markers
IHB establishes dates, timelines, guidelines and procedures for applying for new Indiana State Historical Markers.
Obtaining an Indiana State Historical Marker is a competitive process with multiple steps, each with specific requirements and time frames. The following sections are designed to guide anyone interested in obtaining an Indiana State Historical Marker through the process. Throughout the process, staff of IHB will be available to answer questions.
IHB will publish specific deadline dates and priorities for an annual process of obtaining new Indiana State Historical Markers following the steps outlined below.
Contact Casey Pfeiffer, Marker Program Manager, with questions.
Step 1. Proposed topics submitted on Intent to Apply form
Anyone applying for an Indiana State Historical Marker must first complete an Intent to Apply form; the completed Intent to Apply form must be received by IHB by the published deadline.
IHB will review the suggested marker topics on Intent to Apply forms submitted by the published deadline, using the following criteria:
IHB will notify each applicant whether or not the topic proposed was approved to proceed to the Application stage of the process no later than the published deadline for its reply.
Step 2. Submission of an Application for topics selected in Step 1
Applicants whose topics are approved to move to the Application phase must return a completed Application with required documentation to IHB by the published deadline.
Step 3. Research and documentation
Throughout the research process, IHB may ask the applicant to supply additional primary source documentation necessary to prove historical facts for the marker text and annotations. The applicant is expected to provide—by the stated deadline—any additional documentation, photographs, maps or other information requested by IHB. Failure to return materials by the stated deadline may result in termination of the Application.
Step 4. The marker text
IHB, working with its advisers, has final authority for the text of an Indiana State Historical Marker. IHB will write the marker text, which must conform to IHB research standards. IHB will not include information in a marker text unless IHB has been able to verify that information with appropriate primary source documentation located by IHB or provided by the applicant. IHB will carry out a reasonable amount of research in an attempt to verify information from an applicant for use in writing the text of the marker.
IHB will work with the applicant in determining the final text for the marker. The applicant must accept the final text, using the Applicant Acceptance of Text form provided by IHB, before the marker can be ordered; failure to return the signed form by the stated deadline may result in termination of the Application.
Step 5: Determining the site for an Indiana State Historical Marker
A location associated with or closely related to the topic of an Indiana State Historical Marker is the preferred location for installation. If the original or authentic location for a marker is not accessible—or might be endangered—the marker may be placed in an appropriate alternate location nearby with the approval of IHB.
Step 6: Approving purchase and installation an Indiana State Historical Marker
IHB will recommend the purchase and installation of a marker to the Indiana Library and Historical Board as part of the final approval process. IHB recommendations to the Indiana Library and Historical Board shall be based upon the research, sources, and interpretation of the topic provided by IHB, working with its advisers and the applicant.
IHB may require a change in location from the one proposed by the applicant.
Step 7: Ordering an approved marker
The following items must be received by IHB before an approved marker can be ordered. Failure to provide items by the stated deadline as requested by IHB will result in delays in ordering and receiving the finished marker.
Step 8: Dedication of an Indiana State Historical Marker
IHB encourages applicants to hold a public dedication ceremony for an Indiana State Historical Marker after it has been installed so that communities can commemorate both the topic of the marker and installation of the marker.
The following credit line must be included on any printed materials and in verbal presentations: "This marker is made possible through the Indiana Historical Bureau, State of Indiana."
After receiving dedication information from applicants, the IHB will issue a statewide press release to publicize the dedication. If possible, a representative of the IHB will attend the dedication ceremony.
Step 9: Photographic documentation of an Indiana State Historical Marker
Applicants must provide to the IHB photographic documentation of the installed marker in the approved location. These photographs are important for promoting the marker and for future care and maintenance of the marker. Images and media coverage will also be posted to the IHB website.
IHB encourages cooperative relationships for day-to-day site maintenance with local governments and private entities on whose land an Indiana State Historical Marker is installed.
All State Historical Markers, "including state format markers installed after 1945 and markers installed by the Indiana Civil War centennial commission, are the property of the state." IC 4-23-7.2-11(a).
If an Indiana State Historical Marker is deliberately or accidentally installed in an unapproved location by the applicant and/or another entity, and if reinstallation at the approved location is required by the IHB, the applicant and/or the other entity will be responsible for all costs associated with the removal and reinstallation at the approved location.
All costs associated with moving a marker must be paid by the party desiring the relocation. Markers may be relocated,
Indiana State Historical Markers may be relocated or removed only with the approval of the Indiana Library and Historical Board upon the recommendation of the IHB. The IHB may authorize temporary removal of a marker for maintenance work. In an emergency situation, the IHB may authorize the removal and disposition of markers that have been damaged or are at risk.
Indiana State Historical Markers containing incorrect information may be removed with the approval of the Indiana Library and Historical Board upon the recommendation of the IHB.
When replacement of an Indiana State Historical Marker is requested because it has been damaged or stolen, or because the text contains errors, the marker shall be reviewed by the IHB according to marker guidelines in effect when replacement is requested. Some marker replacements may require the applicant to complete the full application process.

Skip to comments.McDonalds Cannot Make Your Kids Eat Anything They Dont Want To
Posted on 05/25/2013 5:12:22 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Children are impressionable, and McDonalds has managed, in the majority of cases, to make children prefer McDonalds over all other fast food choices. Some people have decided that McDonalds marketing is to blame for the fact that kids eat French fries and not fruits and veggies. Or, at least, the claim to believe McDonalds possesses such awesome powers. And they even pretend that they think children are somehow wise leaders in society. Thus, from MSNBC and Morning Joe:
Nine-year-old Hannah Robertson doesnt want a Happy Meal. She wants a healthy meal. And shes not shy about saying it: Hannah took her pitch straight to the boss, telling McDonalds CEO Don Thompson during the annual shareholders meeting that targeting kids with unhealthy food isnt fair.
Targetingas if our childrens mouths are all forced open against their will and Ronald McDonald is out there with a fry gun shooting potatoes into their stuck-open mouths. She goes further, and told the CEO of McDonalds, Something I dont think its fair when big companies try to trick kids into eating food that isnt good for them by using toys and cartoon characters.
It doesnt work that way. If you put all of the clowns power behind the sale of broccoli or spinach, he would be let go within weeks. Contrary to what Hannah Robertson has been led to believe, the children arent tricked at all. If you tried to make them eat fruits and vegetables, they wouldnt be enthusiastic and theyd eventually become downright hostile to McDonalds healthy food. No matter how big the company, or how many toys they used as bribes, or how many cartoon characters they used, children cannot be persuaded to eat butter beans.
If anyone really has the power to trick a kid, it is probably the childs own parent. In fact, Hannahs mother just happens to be a kids nutritional advocate. So even though USA Today and Morning Joe both shamelessly use a child to sell an anti-McDonalds message, they know that nothing of the kind ever happened. Hannahs mom just exploited her daughter for the sake of a message.
Was the message worth it? I doubt it. Fruits are sugary. The CEO boasted that they now serve low-fat chocolate milk, but such milk makes up for the loss of fat by using more carbohydrates, which many believe are much worse than fat. The idea that fat in food becomes fat in our bodies is arguably a junk-science myth. If so, switching to fat-free, which is heavier in carbs, is an unhealthy move.
But even unhealthier is this ridiculous belief that corporations have the power to make people do things they dont want to do. McDonalds may have managed to make children prefer them to Burger King or Wendys, but that doesnt mean they can control childrens real food preferences. The entire pretense is simply propaganda for the idea that childrens food preferences can be controlled by the will of others.
That ridiculous claim in turn provides justification for all the Mayor Bloombergs of the world who claim that the government is supposed to control what people eat for their own good.
For-the-Cheelrun Nanny State PING!
Regular meals with a reasonably varied content and sane serving sizes... that's probably as helpful as anything else in avoiding gross obesity. McDonald's was never intended to become a full time feeding station.
since when
Hey, I know - let's let the loony left do to food what they did to the talk radio industry ;-)
Can't imagine what Hannah's parents are like. s/
Apparently all other fast food companies sell good, healthy, wholesome food and never TARGET children. I gotta tell you I'm more than a little fed up with using CHILDREN to target and sell. The last person I am going to take financial, phone service or eating advice from is a child.
okay, maybe grandparents don't have that option......:-)
Which is why I don't take mine there. I also made all their baby food because the jarred stuff doesn't taste like the real stuff. Guess what. They eat avocados and spinach! When did parents start falling for the kids' food marketing scheme? My in-laws did with my nephew and he is obese at 10, which I think is child abuse personally. My sister-in-law literally didn't have a clue that chicken nuggets don't have to come through a window or from a freezer bag. She was astounded, and actually made fun of me, when I cut up chicken breasts from our local farmer, dredged them in flour, dunked them in egg, then dredged them again in seasoned breadcrumbs and fried them in a little olive oil. people just don't cook anymore and it's a shame.
Here's a hint Lefties. Only eat at McDonald's once a week or once every two weeks.
Problem solved.
Now drink a sip of water. Sit down. Calm down. Relax...
You're going to be okay.
oh we have the option and they get to go have some french fries and a root beer maybe once a week but it is too bad they ran out of toys and the playground is broke
This cat herding is hard work. It sucks to be a statist who's trying to change the world.
Human nature is Impossible to change.
Yep. All of the "plugged in" iPad, iPhone, etc 8-year olds in tv ads.
Nothing new, however.
Leftist food police have decreed no fat chocolate milk be served at schools and MacDonalds has it to try to appease them too. The irony is that the beneficial milk calcium is absorbed by our bodies much better if the milk has some fat in it. Agenda trumps science.
lol....never thought of those "reasons" to not go to McD's.
No one is forced to eat it. That only happens in government schools.
McDonald's also includes apple slices in their Happy Meals to satisfy the food Nazis. On the few occasions that we go to McDonald's and order a Happy Meal for our 7yo, guess what is left over untouched?
Thanks for the ping!
New chicken wraps are excellent and not that many calories for what is a full meal; 440-600.
Kids have these things called parents. Parents should provide healthy meals for their kids and resist the kids desires for too much crap.
Instead, they give in to the kids and let them eat garbage.
I know as a kid, 40 years ago, all I wanted was milkshakes, orange soda and hamburgers. My mom didn't let me eat what I wanted because I was a kid. It didn't seem fair at the time, but in hindsight, she was right.
It is child abuse to not make little and big kids REAL fried chicken.
Old Bay Seasoning makes tasty fried chicken.
No child will eat any thing they don't like, having raised 3 boys I can testify to that. So they went hungry a few times, cured it. You ate what was put on the table or went hungry, single divorced working mom's don't have zillions to cater to the ' I want's of kids'.
No one forces a child to go into McD's it takes a lazy in a hurry parent to take them there and make bad choices. The kids meal is about 350 calories with out the soda or the desert. The human body needs protein and carbs, control the portion size to keep the weight off. This was before the new changes of adding high sugar apples that a diabetic cannot eat that much of.
I pitch half the bun if I get on saves on the carbs and calories.
Have you seen the welfare queens on food stamps in the check out line...fat, with fat kids, baskets full of chips, cookies, soft drinks, koolaid koolers, energy, sports drinks, candy, cake, etc. very little you could call decent food unless it comes out of a can and ravioli in a can is not decent food. PB & J is a better choice.
I tried one the other day because Micky D's sent me a $2 Coupon to buy one. It was delicious.
(of course I had to put some Ranch Dressing on it so it would be super delicious)
Yeah, my dog eats the same thing every day...loves it. When I feed him in the morning, he acts like he hasn't eaten in a week.
I did about the same thing with mine, baby food cost more, I am a scratch cook, who ever said retirees actually retire don't think straight, once they find out you are retired, they find all kinds of free work that needs doing for you to do. Like being a full time baby sitter, unpaid of course. Thankfully mine all are in different areas of the country, and I can just go visit and spoil a little, but not at fast food joints.
This also applies to fat adults control portion size.......and eat only when your stomach is growling, not by the clock. I weigh 108 at 5', and 110 is considered a warning of being obese. LOL I wear a size 6 jean and that is a tad to loose. One size fits all weight charts are a joke, they do not take into account muscle or bone structure. Not all of us are skimpy muscled or small boned. A weight lifter would fit their obese level as they have large muscles and that makes them over weight on those STUPID charts.
When i was little mom would take to McDonalds after yearly physical after the shot the doctor gave me she always tell me McDonald is not our second kichen I get it
You got too many parents who are in hurry they go to McDonald shut up jr on way home from soccer game
They may be lazy or too indiffernet fix their kid some dinner since they coming home at 7pm or 8pm

Here's how RW members rated this race (1044 votes).
In short: Great RaceIn full: Hard to add much to what's already been said. Even get emails with Dear xxx and your name which makes it all seem personal and the handshake from the organisers at the end made it even more so.I didn't make my sub 4 goal as I wasn't sure whether to trust the pacers so I went too quickly and sure enough they eased past at about 23 miles. Still got a pub though so happy with that.Will certainly be back next year.Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Well organised, hassle free rural raceIn full: A great first marathon. Superbly well organised with excellent communication before and after the event. Lovely little touches like the overshoes supplied before the race. Support from the marshalls was excellent and top marks to the guy who drove back to the water station with fresh supplies when they'd run out. As a slow runner who lives in the country the route was a little too rural which made for some fairly scant support at some points on the route. But this was more than made up for by the 'local' who obligingly sprayed us with his hosepipe and the fun of running alongside a gorilla for most of the race! The racecourse finish is excellent and to run the last little bit on grass was a real treat for the feet! Overall, thrilled to have finished (had no time ambition!) and looking forward to delivering some small improvement in London in April.Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Great event!Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: FANTASTIC MARATHON!!! PERFECT ORGANISATION!!! SPECIAL SPECIAL RACE!!!In full: I did this race last year and got a pb with 4.25, this year i smashed it again with 3.54! as long as you remember there are 2 main hills(18 and 24 miles) then you'll be ok and believe me,they're not that bad at all. Organisation was absolutely spot on and all i can do is agree with everything great that has already been mentioned on here,i will be back next year to do it all again. I ran with the fantastic 4hr pacers til 23 miles and i couldnt recommend running with pacers any more highly,they really do make the race more enjoyable and easy. Big thankyou to them and to all the volunteers who were top notch. Well done again Chester, you did yourself proudDate of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Excellent event, would recommend it without hesitationDate of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Believe the hype!In full: This was my first marathon and after this it definitely isn't my last.I did the Chester Half earlier in the year which is also organised by Chris & Andy so the bar had been set high. They didn't disappoint.Everything ran like clockwork, plenty of volunteers were on hand everywhere willing to help, baggage was painless - to the point where my bag was brought to me after the race.Support was patchy out on the course but when you are running down miles of country lanes it's going to be that way. It did make it special each time I ran through a village, cheers, bands, shouts of encouragement were all there. The start and finish at the race course worked really well, plenty of room for everything to be set up and had the space to accommodate everybody. Yes, there were traffic jams getting in and out, but that happens at all large races. You should expect it. This is also the only race where I've been offered a handshake and a thanks for coming as I cross the line (not that I knew much about it at the time)Great medal and long sleeved tech t-shirt for finishing, Chris and Andy know what runners want. I will be back!Date of review: October 9, 2013
In short: Excellent course, well organised, PB potentialDate of review: October 9, 2013

In short: A must in any runner's calenderIn full: First marathon so nothing to compare it to but doubt the organisation at Chester could be surpassed by other events. All requirements catered for: toilets, post-run showers, plenty of places to chill out/ collapse at the end which is the great thing about having start and finish at a racecourse.Lovely touches like lots of pre-race emails from the organisers about training runs etc. Very informative leaflet sent out in post along with race number with chip. Having name read out aloud via loudspeakers spurred me on to do a "sprint" finish.I enjoyed the rural route with stretches without folk shouting the generic "__miles to go, come on you're doing really well". They made those sections populated with spectators all the more motivating. The villagers came out to support us in their masses - again a really nice touch.Biggest applause goes to hundreds of volunteers who make the day run smoothly. Water available at each station, some volunteers even thought to unscrew the lids for us! Gels and Lucazade a plenty for those wanted it too. Only gripe was that the 24 mile marker was way out. Any other marker would have been fine, but 24!! It nearly killed me. Count down in metres from mile 26 would have been nice too (again a very minor gripe).Will definitely return next year, thank you Chris and Andy and all the volunteers!Date of review: October 9, 2013

As part of the continuing trend towards networked home entertainment, television sets will increasingly include wired or wireless connections to online content. A new study from ABI Research forecasts that in 2011, some 20 million TVs offering wireless connectivity will be shipped worldwide. This segment is expected to show linear growth through the study's forecast horizon of 2014.
Network connectivity does already exist in high-end models, and networked TVs are already quite widespread in Japan. According to ABI, North America, Western Europe, and select Asian countries are seen as the next growth markets, and the 2009 holiday season and 2010 will be the watershed periods when vendors will see whether networked TV should trickle down to mainstream models and really take off there.
"Many current TV models are nearly capable of being networked, at least for basic functions. Basic networking often only entails additional memory, Ethernet support at the chip level (and active port), and software – the hardware component being relatively inexpensive," said industry analyst Michael Inouye
Ethernet will handle the wired type of connection in most cases, but will wireless technology prevail? If it does, the most likely candidate is certainly Wi-Fi, although it is true that 802.11b and 802.11g may suffer some latency and interference problems. 802.11n Wi-Fi, though, should provide a fully capable connection, and its growing adoption will improve support for networked TVs.
Consumers will get a wide variety of online content: news, weather, sport, material from Internet video sites, music, casual gaming, and social networking. However, a critical factor for the success of this new kind of entertainment is the position of the owners of that content.
"At the end of the day, if the content holders don't let their content go to this platform in a timely manner, it's just not going to get anywhere," Mr. Inouye added.

Remember When: Fears
5 comments:
Those heaters look like monsters waiting to gobble up a child. No wonder you were scared. I think I might have been sorta scared of the dark. Now I like to sleep in the total dark! But I'm still scared of elevators.ReplyDeleteReplies
Some elevators bother me. I don't remember problems with the dark but I don't like closet doors left open.Delete
it is so eerie when one of those memories surfaces; always so unexpected and then sticks in your head for days, especially if you can't figure it out. i do the same with a snatch of a song line or poem or prose. But smells are the most evocative for me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes. It's funny to catch these glimpses. I'm trying to learn to write them all down but it doesn't always happen. Thank you for your comment.Delete
