Comments about Learning Resources Time Activity Mat:
We love this. I home school my 6 year old and this is a great tool for time. Unfortunately right out of the package one of the dice had a leak and it was right at the nozzle so it's irreparable. We are still able to enjoy the game though. We just blow up the leaky dice every time we roll that particular one. Other than the leak it's a fantastic learning game.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

from Bournemouth
The children initial reaction was a loud 'wow' when I first unfolded it, and they have asked enthusiastically most days if they are going to use it. It has been particularly beneficial for whole class use.

While this may increase SSD sales it will also increase SSD RMA's and user dissatisfaction when consumers need to update firmware, lose data, experience BSODs and end up RMA'ing the SSDs. Consumers are definitely taking it up the butt right now on HDs and SSDs.
Tight supply of hard disk drives will persist throughout the first half of next-year, which means that solid state drives' chances to gain market share are increasing. But although SSDs will indisputably gain attach rate, they will not help to solve the issue of hard drives shortages.
"I think it will be pretty obvious, when you see the response by the industry, SSD attach rates will go up. They are at low-single digits [less than 5%] today so I do not expect that to be a huge aide in solving the shortages that are in the disk drive industry today," said Brian Gladden, chief financial officer of Dell, during a conference call with financial analysts.
The biggest problem with SSDs is that they cost more than hard disk drives and therefore not a lot of end-users are willing to buy personal computers with solid-state drives instead of hard disk drives. Another issue is that by far not all PCs can adopt SSDs due to necessity of qualification and positioning of PCs.
What computer makers can do is to release systems where SSDs are installed by default and try to improve their popularity among end-users. For example ultra-thin systems as well as so-called ultra-books definitely take advantage of solid-state drives increase of their adoption will drive attach rates of SSDs.
"We will have an ultrabook that will be later out and will arrive late in the fiscal year," added Mr. Gladden.

Jorgensen and Caven to Coach 2012 Sprint Olympians
(Getty: Jorgensen from the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials)
USA Canoe/Kayak announces Stein Jorgensen as the 2012 U.S. Olympic Sprint Team, pending final approval by U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun. The two-time U.S. Olympic kayaker will coach at his first Olympic Games in London. He coached the U.S. National Team during the 2008 and 2010 seasons and has served as 2012 Olympic nominee Carrie Johnson's personal coach on and off since 2007. In London, he will oversee sprint kayakers Johnson and Tim Hornsby.
Oklahoma City High Performance Director Shaun Caven joins the Olympic staff as Sprint Team Manager/Coach. Shaun Caven has served in many roles for USA Canoe/Kayak including Team Leader at the 2011 Pan American Games as well as U.S. National Team Coach since 2010.
Rafal Smolen and Silvan Poberaj will coach the five 2012 U.S. Olympic Slalom athletes with William Irving serving as Slalom Team Leader.
Despite his Norwegian name, Jorgensen was born in Los Angeles and raised in San Diego. He didn't begin paddling flatwater sprint until his late 20s. He was working as an engineer and paddling outrigger canoes when he met U.S. Olympic kayakers Norm Bellingham and Greg Barton at an event in Hawaii, just after the two had won the gold medal at the 1988 Olympic Games.
Jorgensen decided that could make the Olympics if he put his mind to and seven years later, he won the World Championships in 200m Kayak Doubles in 1995. He raced 500m Kayak Doubles at the 1996 Games and 500m Kayak Singles and 1,000m Kayak Fours at the 2000 Games. His highest finish was sixth in the K-4.
When he's not coaching Carrie Johnson, Jorgensen currently works full-time as a firefighter with the Chula Vista Fire Department. He met a teenage Johnson when she began paddling as part of the San Diego Junior Lifeguard program. He has known Hornsby since 2004 and coached him extensively in 2008, when Hornsby was attempting to qualify for the Olympics in K-2 and K-4.
Carrie Johnson, Women's Kayak: "I have worked with Stein since 2005. In the quad leading to Beijing [2008], he came out to paddle with me and provide additional technical assistance and during this past quad, has stepped up to provide a coaching position in Chula Vista. He has volunteered a large amount of his time to train with and coach me and the other athletes training in Chula Vista because he truly loves the sport and sincerely wants to see us succeed. I look forward to having his support in London."
Tim Hornsby, Men's Kayak: "I have known Stein for a long time now. I paddled with him in 2004 at my first senior camp when I was 17. It was an experience I will never forget. I remember following his results as a kid and it was really cool that I have had the privilege to train and work with him. In 2008, he helped coach us, alongside Nathan Luce, when we just missed the Olympic team. He was so passionate about coaching, he jumped in the lake the first time we broke three minutes. I hadn't really worked with him much since 2008, but I did get the opportunity to do some sessions with him and Carrie this winter, which helped me to focus on the fundamentals of paddling. I look forward to working with him at the Games and I know his passion will help inspire us in London."
Joe Jacobi, USA Canoe/Kayak CEO: "Stein's experience as a Coach and an Olympian will be a tremendous asset to our program and athletes in London. He instills confidence and trust, which on the Olympic stage are ideal coaching qualities. USA Canoe/Kayak is fortunate to have Stein return to the Games this summer.
William Irving, USA Canoe/Kayak National Teams Director: "Shaun provides the 2012 Olympic Team with years of experience coaching at the International level. He leads one of the fastest growing clubs in the U.S. at the Oklahoma City Boathouse Foundation in addition to being the head coach of Oklahoma City University's Collegiate program. We are grateful to have Shaun serving as Coach/Team Manager for the 2012 U.S. Sprint Olympic Team for the wealth of knowledge he brings to the team."
Q&A with Stein Jorgensen
On Carrie Johnson's medal chances in London:
"I tell her this almost every day, she is as good physically as anybody out there. She's a great athlete and she's very strong and very competitive. She needs to just put it all together and let it be more muscle memory than, 'I'm going hard from the start all the way to the end.' The races are just too long to go flat out. You need to have a little bit of control over what your doing. It takes four times the energy to go twice as fast, so you just need to get a little bit above your average speed and try and relax. Be as efficient as you can at the half way part of the race, and that's really where the big names start racing, at the second half of the race."
On Tim Hornsby's progression as a paddler:
"He's always been kind of like Carrie [Johnson], as strong as anybody out there pretty much, and he's a good athlete. It's just what you do when you're on the water, how efficiently you're applying the power and making the boat go. In January, we did a lot of stuff, just to kind of slow down what he's been doing and try to use the bigger muscles to apply the power to the water. We did a lot of resistance paddles with him where he can't muscle stuff so much, and I think that helped him out a lot. He started getting a little bit more ownership and [he] matured a lot as an athlete and took charge of what he needed to do and put himself in a position to be successful. He got in a good training group and it paid off."
On what Hornsby can expect at his first Games:
"The first time you go there, you're kind of star struck, or a lot of people are. The majority of the people that medal at the Olympics, [it's] there second or more Olympics. Because the first time, it's all the pageantry, and everything that gets done for TV, and everybody wants to talk to you and some people haven't been interviewed that much, and they're trying to give everybody an interview. Timmy's going to be a little bit overwhelmed by some of that stuff. He did go in 2008 as a training partner, so I think he saw some of it, but I'm not sure exactly how much."
On Johnson's mindset heading into her third and final Games:
"For Carrie, it's strictly a business trip. We're going to stay in Northern Italy training until about four days before her races. She's not even going to go to the Opening Ceremonies. She's going to go there and do the work she needs to do right before the race and get on with the race. As you know, she's a very, very busy girl. She's leaving I think the day after she races, and she's going straight to Sacramento because she starts school I think two days after her final race. She starts veterinary school at UC Davis, which is an extremely tough program and it just shows that she's focused not just on sport but on the rest of her life, also."
On his favorite part about coaching:
"I love going out there and I think the most rewarding thing is when you ask an athlete to do a particular thing. For me, I think I'm very technical, and you try and show them techniques, you talk to them about how to get more power onto the paddle to move the boat. And when the athletes start having success and starts going faster, you can see the excitement on their face. That's very gratifying to me, seeing people get better."
On the transitioning from paddling to fighting fires:
"It certainly helped me to get the job. It's a very competitive field. There were 2,000 people going for five or six jobs when I applied. But the teamwork, when you get in the team environment, traveling with everybody, being in close quarters and trying to help each other out, it's very similar in the firehouse. The good-natured ribbing, we call each other brothers because we are around them more than we are our regular families. I think, just being in that environment, being an athlete for so many years, being around the team, it's just very, very similar. You try to help each other to do whatever task needs to be done."

For the supply, I agree with that diagram. For the return, I prefer being closer to the blower, especially if there is a filter near the blower where air leakage into that area could change the average temperature hitting the heat exchanger.

New Jersey association looking into Phillipsburg High School wrestling team photo controversy
NJSIAA asks for report from Phillipsburg School District
PHILLIPSBURG, N.J. - The state organization that governs interscholastic athletics in New Jersey is looking into a controversial photo showing seven Phillipsburg High School wrestlers posing with a black dummy hanging by a noose.
The New Jersey State Interscholastic Association (NJSIAA) on Wednesday confirmed that the organization has asked to the Phillipsburg School District to submit a written report on the matter by Thursday. The NJSIAA is asking the district to outline its investigation into what actions were taken. At this point, NJSIAA officials are not saying if they plan to consider any action beyond what the district has taken.
The Phillipsburg School District released a statement to Tuesday afternoon stating: "The incident reported is a student matter dealing with minors. An investigation was undertaken and upon conclusion of the investigation, actions were taken by the district consistent with its policies."
The dummy seen in the photo is wearing a Paulsboro High School Wrestling T-shirt. Two of the teenage boys have their hoods up in a point and another appears to be saluting in the photo, which was obtained from The Express-Times.
Varying reaction poured in after the photo surfaced earlier this week.
"It's inappropriate, insensitive. It's just wrong on so many levels," said Superintendent Walt Quint, Paulsboro Public Schools.
It has some questioning if the photograph was racially inspired.
Quint said there are black students on Paulsboro's squad, but he doesn't believe it was a direct attack on race or any specific individual.
"A foolish act by a group of young men…My guess is they aren't even aware of the history and how insensitive and wrong this is," Quint said.
Students at Phillipsburg agree. They described the photo as commentary on Phillipsburg's recent victory over Paulsboro. Phillipsburg defeated Paulsboro 38-21 on Feb. 1.
"I know a lot of them, it wasn't supposed to be a malicious thing," said Jeremy Edinger, a student at Phillipsburg High School
"Nothing toward racism, it was more of a joke. If you know the boys, they didn't mean anything offensive by it," said Meghan Wicks, a student at Phillipsburg High School.
Quint said the two schools have had an ongoing rivalry.
"There is a rivalry, a good rivalry. Fierce yes. They are two premiere wrestling programs," Quint said.
But parents aren't seeing the fun.
"I don't think it's kids just being kids. They're clearly old enough to know better in this picture," said Elaine Valk, a parent.
"It's disgusting," said Robert Pierce, a parent.
Quint said he discussed the matter with Phillipsburg's superintendent and he expects the friendly rivalry to continue.
"It doesn't represent their school wrestling team, it certainly doesn't represent the rivalry we have," Quint said.

Advanced Technology Investment Company plans to acquire share of Advanced Micro Devices in Globalfoundries, a contract semiconductor manufacturing joint venture between the two companies. The move will potentially allow ATIC to oust AMD members from Globalfoundries' board of directors and concentrate strategic and operational decision making at its hands.
"This action is simply consistent with the long-announced plan for AMD to gradually become fab-less, which was one of the key strategies behind the creation of Globalfoundries," an official statement from ATIC that is quoted by Reuters news-agency reads.
Executives at both AMD and Globalfoundries have been claiming that the former would gradually reduce its stake in the latter, so the information does not come at a surprise.
Originally, ATIC owned 65.8% stake in Globalfoundries and invested roughly $2.1 billion, whereas AMD owned 34.2% stake worth around $700 million. Recently ATIC acquired Chartered Semiconductor for $3.9 billion and merged its operations with Globalfoundries. As a result, AMD's share is already much lower than 34.2%, but the company continues to hold 5 seats in the board of directors, helping to make strategic decisions. Acquisition of AMD's stake will allow Globalfoundries to centralize its decision making.
Terms of the potential deal have not been disclosed so far. It is known that proceedings from the potential transaction will help AMD financially and will further strengthen the company's chip design efforts.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (5 votes).
In short: Additional noteIn full: Just wanted to add an additional note to my review: the results took ages to come out, and when they did it turns out that they cannot be officially recorded to powerof10 or run britain because the race wasn't licensed. The "official" time was also wildly difficult to what I timed myself at. Having run well, I wanted my time to be officially recorded. Not overly impressed and would now not do this race again.Date of review: September 24, 2012
In full: This is a race that you run it once and you want to come back again to have another crack at it.will try again in 2013. Date of review: September 23, 2012
In short: Well organisedIn full: As 2011 reviewers said, this is not a flat course! 2012 weather very hot, and organisers put in an extra water stop, which was much appreciated. The roads aren't closed for this race, which means sometimes you do have to stop as cars/tractors pass each other on the country roads, but it's not a fast course anyway. Pretty in places, especially at the turn around at the top of the course at 4 ish miles(or maybe just I got a chance to look at that bit more because it was downhill?!). Would run again. Is good prep race for autumn half marathons.Date of review: September 10, 2012
Date of review: August 6, 2012
In short: a really good well organised race,no fuss no hassle'sDate of review: September 11, 2011

Mark,You did a great job with your cast iron skillet. I think you made a wise choice in using a blend of flours with Caputo pizzeria flour being one of the flours. Your pizza looks very tasty. Did you have problems landing your pie on the cast iron skillet?Norma
Norma, as you can see in the "inside the oven " pic, I did droop a bit over the side. No matter, after a few seconds I was able to stabilize and smooth sailing from there.Thanks again for the idea, now back to the 2 Stone and the frigid cold, outside! Mark
Mark,I think you did a great job of landing that pizza on the cast iron skillet! You are braver than I am. Norma
Mark, An upside down cast iron pan is very intuitive. Nice work. Jim

Deadline for submissions: September 9, 2011
The CNMS is planning to present the 6th edition of its popular RidgeDance NanoScience Film Festival during its 2011 User Meeting. The festival features entertaining, short videos depicting nanoscience research submitted by CNMS users, meeting attendees, colleagues abroad, and CNMS staff. (See last year's RidgeDance program here.) You are invited to submit a video for the festival as described below. The submission deadline is midnight, September 9th. However, if you have a late submission, please email Chris Rouleau to ask whether it can still be accepted.
1. Please assist our planning by letting us know of your intention (not binding) to submit media for the RidgeDance `11 NanoScience Film Festival. Use the convenient web-fillable form.
2. UPLOADING YOUR VIDEO. Maximum upload size is 300MB. If your material exceeds 300MB, please choose another video format or simply mail us a data CD or data DVD. Once your file size is correct, go to this link http://www.ornl.gov/~ncsgroup/fileupload.shtml and do the following: After you click a browse button, choose your file(s), and click the Upload File(s) button, you will see a page called File Upload Results. Note that the File Upload Results page may take a long time to appear as the delay is entirely a function of your file size and network traffic. Once the page appears, enter your email address in the first box, leave the subject box as-is, and then enter firstname.lastname@example.com in the second box. The last box is optional, and may be used to provide Chris with additional information concerning your material. Once complete, press the Send email button.
3. Our goal is to receive standard definition* videos, with titling and stereo soundtracks, that have sufficient quality to be viewed and heard in a large screen venue. Although epics are welcome, run times normally range from 3 to 7 minutes. However, this is simply a goal, and one shouldn't opt out simply because you think your material misses the mark.
4. If you don't have a video - no problem - we will accept stills, and with your permission, will put together a montage. The same goes for other material that you wish to show, but haven't found the time to render to video – we're actually pretty creative and willing to work with you to create a short video, so please zip it up, send it, and we'll see what we can conjure up (with your permission, of course).
5. In our experience, we can handle all mainstream video formats and codecs, so simply use whatever is familiar to you. That said, keep an eye on file size, and therefore format/codec, if your goal is to get us your clip via file upload.
6. Once completed, you can upload your video or zipped folder of material to us, or if you prefer, mail us the content on disk ( CD or DVD).
7. Most of all, have fun!
*Standard definition is 480 lines, which means your clips must be 480 pixels high. If you render to anything else besides DV, which is 720 pixels wide, please use a width of 872 pixels, if you like widescreen, and 656 pixels, if you prefer full screen.
Examples of short descriptions to be read before playing your clip (please include with your submission but note that our MC reserves the right to improvise!):
"A simulated dodecane fluid gets caught between a rock and hard place, and does the only thing it knows how – it phase transitions, of course."
"Carl Sagan once said, "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere." That's exactly where this little chlorine atom is going – nowhere!"

The BBC College of Journalism web site is now available for a thirty day free trial (26-APR-10 – 26-MAY-10).
For access to the trial, please visit the UML Libraries' Database Trials web page.
For the very first time, the learning and development materials created for BBC journalists are being made web accessible by Oxford University Press. The BBC College of Journalism website includes 1,700 content pages, hundreds of videos, audio clips, discussion pages, and interactive modules covering every aspect of TV, radio, and online journalism. Much of the material features BBC TV reporters, anchors, and hosts covering subjects ranging from craft skills (such as writing or directing video) to subject briefings on critical events and topics such as climate change and the conflict in the Middle East, to the many ethical issues now facing journalists. The site is continuously updated, its coverage driven by the practical needs of BBC journalists around the world, as well as current events in the news.
Launched in 2005, the idea behind the BBC College of Journalism was to create a "virtual" learning environment rather than a physical "bricks and mortar" college with residential courses. The inspiration originated from innovative examples in the US – where studies take place via interactive learning modules, workshops and seminars. All journalistic staff in the BBC have been required to attend the College for a minimum level of training each year.
Key Content
- Variety of topics including religion, politics, sports, military, business
- 1,700 content pages
- 50+ interactive learning exercises
- 200 videos
- Discussion area is a forum for online discussion of all issues currently affecting journalism. Often seeded by commissioned pieces from well-known players within the industry, this feature has the potential to become the world's leading forum for discussion of issues in journalism. Areas covered include evolving business models, the growing importance of trust and coverage of current issues like climate change.
- Tutorials provide research material (glossary definitions, short survey articles comparable to reference A-Z entries) on an issue alongside a tutorial that instructs the user how to report on the issue. Many are accompanied by quizzes, tests, or writing exercises.
- Briefings include factual advice and guides on key subjects in the news with text, video, and interactive material.
- Skills is the "how to" section, with guides to writing, production, broadcasting and story-finding. Much of the material has been created by the BBC's leading on-air reporters. As well as text, audio and video, there are dozens of interactive exercises covering TV, radio and text-based journalism.
- Law covers legal issues facing journalists.
- Ethics & Values covers the increasingly important issues of truth and accuracy, impartiality, independence, reporting in the public interest, accountability and trust.
- Glossaries are quick guides designed for busy journalists covering the whole range of learning offered by the College and includes definitions of words related to current issues.
Features and Benefits
- Customizable search results can be sorted by date or relevance, tailoring each inquiry to the user's needs for ease and speed of research.
- Hundreds of video and audio clips provide visual and audio examples of issues and topics covered.
- A discussion/blog area enables users to explore topics and issues in more depth with experts, students, and peers.
- Interactive tutorials are offered in versions for TV, radio, or text-based journalism.
- Static URLs for text pages and media provide consistent, secure points of access for students, teachers, and professionals returning to the site or sharing information with peers.
- Update program: BBC COJ will be updated on a rolling, continuous basis with new coverage being determined by demand from journalists and by current events dominating the headlines, with at least one updated or new learning unit per month. This guarantees the site is the most up-to-date, practical resource available to journalists and students across the globe.

How do you go about planning your main-stage opera season?
Great puzzle, always. We set certain parameters as part of our vision: We want to be international, we want to make sure we have a broad spectrum of repertoire, we want to make sure we can always have something that's a little lesser known, but we have to balance that with something that's really well known to create a great first experience for first comers. And then, we sit down with our 20, 25 titles that we would like to do and we figure out what will work with what and take a look at the productions that are available. Then, we see what singers, conductors, directors are available, and sometimes we change repertoire based on that.
In the 2014 season, which opera is the familiar one and which one pushes the envelope?
I think the most unfamiliar here—as an operatic piece—is probably Macbeth. It's not produced that often, simply because it's very difficult to cast, especially for the soprano, Lady Macbeth. And then, the familiar one is Barber of Seville; everybody knows "Figaro," everybody knows Bugs Bunny.
How do you go about casting these main-stage productions? Do you have certain vocalists in mind and see if they're available, or do you do an open casting in Manhattan?
Both. We start with a list of artists whom we would like to invite. So, we contact their artist managers to see if they're available and interested. If they are, then that's great. And if not, we look around elsewhere. Then, we do have auditions in New York for some of the other roles. We're fortunate in that we have a lot of famous singers who want to come to Palm Beach. We don't have that much need to rely on auditions, but we hold them every year so that we're current with who's singing and how well.
What would you like the community to know about Palm Beach Opera?
If I had one wish, then it's for the community to stop worrying about culture. We're here and we've been resilient. It's my big hope that people have faith in organizations and realize that they are a part of their future, rather than say 'oh, we don't know if the theater is going to be here, if the museum is going to make it.' We're continuing to work towards the future. So, I am very excited. I've never felt as good about the company as I do now.
Palm Beach Opera's 2013-14 Season:
- Opera at the Waterfront, December 14, Meyer Amphitheatre, Downtown West Palm Beach
- Macbeth, Verdi, January 24-26, Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
- One Opera in One Hour, January 31 and February 28, Harriet Himmel Theater, CityPlace, West Palm Beach
- The Barber of Seville, Rossini, February 21-23, Kravis Center, West Palm Beach
- The Tales of Hoffman, Offenbach, March 21-23, Kravis Center, West Palm Beach

Good Manners Cost Nothing, Win AudiencesMonday, August 10th, 2009
France: can you believe what you hear?
That's it for the re-runs folks, the five week expedition is over and I'm back reporting live at the blog desk. Dammit!
Apart from the obvious delights of wandering around Europe in summer, it was bliss to be totally free of media as (so I'm told) week after week of Michael Jackson news analysis unfolded.
It's always instructive to see how communication works when you can hardly do it at all. I know enough Italian and German to order food and understand childrens' books on which farm animal is which.
With French I'm on shakier ground, with a high probability of ordering the horse. With lots of goofy miming.
And then there's the French themselves. Oh, how people like to warn you about their national character. Haughty. Arrogant. Dismissive. Disdainful. All qualities that every French person we met showed absolutely none of. They were all perfectly pleasant and hospitable.
Why so? It takes about 10 minutes in the country to learn that the French have a rigid system of manners that requires you to say a cheery 'Bonjour, madame!'-style greeting when you enter a shop. And learn how to say, in enthusiastic French, "I am a confused Australian and my French is non-existent, do you speak English?" and they're just fine. That's all it takes.
But if you walk in and don't say 'hello', you've got yourself a one-way ticket to the conversational leper colony, my friend.
No matter who you're talking to, manners are important. We've spoken many times here about the importance of learning your audience's language as the first step to winning them over.
Next time you have to talk to a tough audience, ask yourself if the perceived threat is a little overblown, like all the warnings about French people from people who've tried speaking to them in English, then tried SHOUTING AT THEM IN ENGLISH. With a little research into how your audience sees things, you'll probably get on perfectly fine.
By the way, another French stereotype that proved to be untrue: I did seen a Parisian organ grinder, but where there should have been a mischievous monkey, there was a ginger cat attached with string. That must really kill the cash flow.
French stereotypes that are totally true: small dogs where small dogs shouldn't be, people sitting on trains reading existentialist novels with titles like 'The Man Without A Head', and pretty much everyone smoking like they're at an audition for Mad Men.

Did anyone do this experiment already? There are certain piezo strip bridges where piezo could be taken out and replaced with a Baggs piezo strip plus adding a TrueMic somewhere under the F holes. As the Anthem SL is more resistant to feedback, it should be useful if used separate from standard humbucker signal.
Any opinions are welcome.

What are U.S. Paralympians thankful for?
With Americans celebrating Thanksgiving today, USParalympics.org asked some of the nation's top Paralympic athletes to talk about everything Thanksgiving, including what makes them most thankful. Stay tuned throughout the week for more Thanksgiving chatter with U.S. Paralympians and hopefuls.
Thursday's questions
Non-sports related, what are you most thankful for this year?
Victoria Arlen, swimming
"I'm most thankful for my family, friends and being able to be alive. It's been a long journey and my family and friends have been absolutely incredible and supportive. Everyday I'm thankful for them. Not just on thanksgiving do I give thanks, I give thanks for every day I have with them."
Cat Bouwkamp, wheelchair fencing
"I'm most thankful for being able to receive a job this year when I know there are many people out there who are struggling in this economy."
Steve Cash, sled hockey
"I am most thankful for my friends, teammates included, and family."
Kelly Crowley, para-cycling
"I am most thankful for the weekend I spent with my extended family in March, celebrating my grandfather's life."
Ryan Estep, wheelchair fencing
"I'm most thankful for my family. They have been with me through the ups and downs in life. They're always a huge support system to fall back on."
Lex Gillette, track and field
"I'm most thankful for the team behind me who helped get me to the Paralympic Games, the Americans who I represented as I stood on the podium receiving my Paralympic medal."
Emmy Kaiser, wheelchair tennis
"I have a lot to be thankful for this year. What I am most thankful for would definitely be my family that I get to go back home to and my terrific boyfriend of three years. I cannot wait to see him again after not seeing him since before London."
Taylor Lipsett, sled hockey
"I am definitely thankful for my wife and everything she sacrifices for me to be able to pursue my Paralympic dream. I am also thankful that I finally landed the job I had been pursing for the past three years. I am now a Portfolio Manager Associate with Bank of America, U.S. Trust."
Angela Madsen, track and field
"Personal journeys that have enriched and strengthened my faith and my relationships with family and friends, being relatively healthy and cancer free for another year are the things I am most thankful for. I was able to purchase an ocean rowing vessel for my Trans Pac Solo Row to Hawaii in 2013. This upcoming journey or adventure can be followed online on my website www.rowoflife.com."
J. Dee Marinko, sitting volleyball
"I would have to say that I am most thankful for a wonderful family. After everything that we have been through, we stick together and are always here for each other."
Asya Miller, goalball
"I am thankful equality prevailed in this year's elections."
Kerri Morgan, track and field
"I am so thankful for the friends and family that supported me through my journey in London."
Greta Neimanas, para-cycling
"It's hard to pick one thing to be most thankful for. There are so many people, moments and opportunities that I'm grateful to have- or have had- in my life this year but I'm going to have to say I'm most thankful for the love that I have in my life.
"Without love, life would be miserable. That's pretty obvious but it took a while to fully realize it. That's not to say I was doom and gloom before but in the past year especially, I've opened myself- my heart- up to what the world has to offer and have been pleasantly surprised by how awesome everything is after making that effort. Realizing how much love there is to be had and how much there is to give to others really has made the sun shine brighter, food taste better and make grass look greener. My sister once told me I'm a hopeless romantic and I think she may be right.
"Love is applicable to every aspect of your life and brings so much to it; love of sport, love of life, love of travel, new experiences, competition, friends, family, significant others, ups and downs in sport and 'real life', love of the little things because sometimes there isn't anything bigger. I may put up a hardened, crusty shell of an exterior sometimes but inside I'm just a big softie. I love love."
Justin Zook, swimming
"I am the most thankful to have two healthy parents. Both my mother and father have had cancer scares in the last five years, most recently father and prostate cancer last year. I am thankful they are both healthy now. I am also thankful for a job opportunity I accepted as the head age group coach at Miami Country Day Aquatics which allows me to be closer to my parents."
What sports moment are you most thankful for this year?
Victoria Arlen, swimming
"The sports moment I'm most thankful for this year would happen to be making the team for the London 2012 Paralympic Games and winning gold on the final night of the Games. It was so surreal and incredible and I was honored to have been able to represent Team USA."
Cat Bouwkamp, wheelchair fencing
"My favorite sports moment of the year would obviously be the Paralympic Games. But specifically, I am thankful for that feeling when I stepped onto the track at the Opening Ceremony."
Steve Cash, sled hockey
"I am definitely most thankful for when the team and I won gold at the 2012 International Paralympic Committee Sledge Hockey A Pool World Championships. It is one of my most cherished accomplishments and still fresh in my mind. Not only was it the victory but the cohesiveness and collective effort as a group that makes it such an unforgettable achievement. I am also thankful for the fact that I can still play the great sport of hockey."
Kelly Crowley, para-cycling
"I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to race at the Paralympic Games. Even more, I'm thankful that my talents and hard work paid off, and that I got to stand on the podium. Twice. The British fans were incredible. I feel very lucky to have had that experience."
Ryan Estep, wheelchair fencing
"The Parade of Nations at the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games. I'm so happy we had such a great turn out for the Games. It was amazing to walk into the arena with my team."
Lex Gillette, track and field
"When I knew I had won a Paralympic medal, I had the opportunity to grab the U.S. flag with both hands and hoist it above my head for everyone to see. That's a moment I will never forget."
Emmy Kaiser, wheelchair tennis
"This isn't exactly a sports moment on court but it is still from London so I say it counts. Being able to be a part of Paralympic Games Closing Ceremony with not just our tennis team and the whole 2012 U.S. Paralympic Team but my best friend on tour from another country made the night one of the best of my life so far."
Taylor Lipsett, sled hockey
"I am definitely thankful for my International Paralympic Committee Sledge Hockey A Pool World Championship gold medal, because everyone on the team really stepped up and performed when it really counted. We became the first team in history to win back to back world championships, and Team USA has now won the last three major tournaments, the 2009 and 2012 worlds and the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games. Coach [Jeff] Sauer always tell us that 'It's great to get to the top, but the real challenge is staying there.' And for us to be able to do that for the past three years is really amazing."
Angela Madsen, track and field
"I broke some world records and medaled at the Paralympic Games in a shot put, a new sport for me. I also coached at some Paralympic Sport Club events. I am thankful for all of the moments and opportunities that I have had and for my ability to make the most from them."
J. Dee Marinko, sitting volleyball
"I would have to say that traveling to Egypt and competing for a chance to qualify for the Paralympic Games in London. We didn't make it this year but I am thankful that we had a chance."
Asya Miller, goalball
"The sports moment I am most thankful for is winning nationals."
Kerri Morgan, track and field
"I'm most thankful for my two races in the London 2012 Paralympic Games, the 100m and the 200m. I was able to win bronze in both. I am especially proud of the 100m race where I had poor start but stayed focused and was able to come from behind and still able to reach the medal podium."
Greta Neimanas, para-cycling
"The sports moment that I'm most thankful for wasn't during competition or even on the bike at all. Walking into the stadium for the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympics in London was absolutely the highlight of my year, if not athletic career. Sure, it was the second time going to 'The Show' but I was not prepared in the slightest for what happened.
"Walking into a stadium of 80,000 people who are all there to watch you compete is incredible. If you get the chance, try it sometime. At the Games, not only are there 80,000 people in a stadium looking at you, there are fireworks going off, laser light shows, music blasting, dancers, hundreds of cameras and broadcast lights all over the place, it's quite difficult to see or hear much of anything. At the same time, all in a few moments, it hits you that you're at the Games. Everything you've trained for in the past four, six, eight, ten years has led to that moment. That moment when you walk into the stadium with your best friends- your teammates, family, really- the people you've cried tears of pain, sadness and joy with; that you've shared successes and failures with; that you've experienced some of the best moments of your life with, is when you realize that it's all real. All of it is real, you're not dreaming and you've made it. It's a whirlwind of emotions to start with and then, and then add on what's about to happen next.
"We're walking through the stadium, looking around and we spot a giant, American flag hanging over the railing on the second balcony so we wave to the people and then we looked closer. The people standing behind the flag waving madly back at us were wearing very distinctive USA clothes- an 18" stovepipe American flag had, flag pants, flag shirts. It was the family of one of the cyclists. Now, I'm not a statistician and I'm surprised I could even spell 'statistician' on the first try but what are the chances of that happening? What are the chances of, in a sea of people and lights, picking out one of your best friend's family? I have chills writing about it now. Tears welled up, we held up the line of athletes and didn't care a single lick. Seeing his family made me think of all the sacrifices they and every athlete's family has to make for their athlete to get to the Games. It's hard work and sacrifice on their part as much as it is ours.
"After the ceremony I talked to my family who was in the stadium as well, only to learn that we looked and waved directly to them without realizing it was them. Between tears, a perma-grin, and all the lights we couldn't make out their faces. After that, I don't know what moment could possibly be better."
Justin Zook, swimming
"I am incredibly thankful for receiving the opportunity to represent the United States of America at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. With a roller coaster of a year, there was not a better potential end to my swimming career than winning my third gold medal in the 100 backstroke."

Some grapevines enduring the harsh weather
Vineyard caretakers across upstate New York have reached for their hand pruners often in recent months to keep tabs on grapevine buds that may have endured winter damage.
"Because of the extreme cold this winter, we did a lot of bud testing to see where we stood," says Robin Ross, co-owner of Arrowhead Spring Vineyards in Lockport, Niagara County. "At this point, it looks like the Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc (held) up really well. I anticipate no problems in these varietals."
Examining longitudinal sections of grapevine buds helps vineyardists adjust how much pruning to do in the spring. In general, detecting dead or dying buds in 20 percent to 80 percent of a sample group leads to increasing the number of buds left alone on the vine.
Though Ross is cautiously optimistic about how her vines have fared, Mother Nature could still deal some serious blows.
"A hailstorm in the summer can be disastrous," she says.
Paul Schliffer, winemaker and vineyard manager of the one acre of Delaware grapes at East Hill Farm in Middlesex, Yates County, also has his fingers crossed.
"I've done some bud testing and don't see any cause for concern," says Schliffer, who has lived at East Hill, home to the Rochester Folk Art Guild, since 1972. "The vines grew very well in spite of bearing a heavy crop last fall. The wood ripened well.
"At the same time, with these older vines, they tend to alternate heavier and lighter crops, so I wouldn't be surprised if they produced a lighter crop this season," he says.
Though purely decorative and harvested only by winged visitors, the grape arbor in the rock garden at George Eastman House probably will not be as showy as in years past because of this winter.
"Our grape arbor is in a relatively protected location, and there has generally been snow cover to protect the roots and lower stems," says Eastman House landscape curator Amy Kinsey. "I'm not expecting irreparable damage but will not be surprised if the buds on the vines have been damaged and the fruit set poor this year."

Meeting Description:
The publication of Richard Kayne's 1975 monograph on French syntax initiated a lot of research on French but also on more general theoretical issues. The book defines five tests of clitichood: a clitic may never be modified, stressed, separated from its host, and lastly, clitic clusters always have a fixed word order. Over the years clitics have come to play a central role in linguistics. Within diachronic syntax, for example, clitics are thought to represent an intermediary stage between a full lexical item and an inflexional affix. There is however evidence that Kayne's tests of clitichood should be challenged. In African French, clitics may be stressed, and in the history of Italian, the internal position of clitics has changed. It is also necessary to modify the basically Romance conception of clitics: Clitics in the Germanic languages are not primarily pronouns, and their host is not necessarily a verb. These facts raise some questions: What kind of words may cliticise? What kind of word may clitics cliticise to? Is there cross-linguistic evidence that suggests a different way of defining clitics than the five tests provided by Kayne?
The workshop aims at looking at clitics from different angles, both with regards to the languages under study and the theoretical framework in use.
Invited Speakers:
Ur Shlonsky, University of Geneva
Helge Lødrup, University of Oslo
Mila D. Vulchanova, Norwegian University of Science and Technology
Final Call for Papers:
Submission date is August 20, notifications will be sent out by September 20.
The workshop welcomes papers addressing these questions as well as other questions related to the nature of clitics. The presentation should be no longer than 20 minutes, leaving 10 minutes for questions and discussion.
Abstracts are not to exceed two pages, including examples and references. The abstract should have a clear title but should not identify the author(s). The anonymous abstract should be attached to a mail with personal information (name and affiliation) and sent to the following e mail address:
The workshop aims at publishing selected papers.

The legacy continues
On Saturday, Feb. 2, Dr. John Fornetti will host his 7th annual, free, dental clinic. No appointments, first come,first served,no preference, except must be 18 or older.
This is certainly one big generous act that defies the old adage that nothing is really free.
Dental care is the "poor brother," out of reach due to cost and its being ignored as part of normal health insurance coverage.
Many years ago, I grew up just outside Iron Mountain's city limit and next door to Dr. Ted Fornetti Sr. I understand he gave his patients free tickets for Taystee Freeze cones.
After raising his sons, who also became dentists, Dr. Ted Sr. gave his own homesite where Bay College West now stands as a gift to the area.
Now, with Dr. John Fornetti the legacy continues. It is a rare and beautiful gesture that warms the heart and heals dental woes.

The new smooth plate is 0.250 inches thick and the Fakiro plate is 0.251 without the nubbins, right now performance seems to be about equal. I'm quite interested to hear how the steel plates work in regular ovens since there is a huge plate steel fabrication industry around here and I'm sure I could get a plate cut for my gas convection also and increase my pizza size to 16 inches (the perfect size for a New York style in my opinion.)I really believe the steel/metal plate is far superior to any stoneware type, don't know about actual stone. I just don't buy the theory that any kind of stoneware or even brick can absorb moisture after being heated to 500 deg. F. I believe the secret is thermal mass and infrared radiation that makes the crust crisp. The water is driven up through the dough steaming it and the toppings and metal delivers both thermal mass and infrared better than earthen materials which are actually insulators, just my tow cents. I also think cast iron will perform about as well as rolled steel or the aluminum/steel plates but have no experience with it.
I used a 12" x 12" paver tile under my broiler to make Neopilitan pizza. It worked fine for a couple of bakes but eventually cracked. I tried using a steel plate, which was 1/4" thick by 12" square. I put under my broiler the same as the tile. I was able to get the temperature up to 700 degrees pretty fast. Unfortunately the dough stuck and the pizza burnt very fast. I guess the steel does not let the moisture escape fast enough.Tony
I heated by electric oven to 475 with my steel plate high in the oven, and my firebrick stone low.
Scott/Don Thanks for the advice. At 650 with the stone, I was getting a approx 3.5 minutes bake with good oven spring and some char on bottom crust. I'm not sure about crisp factor. I may repeat these with the tweaked dough and see what happens,with careful documentation along the way, including photos. Then I will compare that to the steel plate at 550. I had a nice gallery of photos but was unable to add them. It said I have too much data? Who should I contact concerning this? I have an apple computer. I cool on a wire rack. I will get an IR thermometer. Thanks for all your help! Mark

Stuff that you can pick off the Supermarket shelf is generally mass produced and, whislt drinkable, nowhere near the value you should get for your money.Fortunately here in the UK I'm a member of an online wine site that sources the wines directly from the winemaker without having to go through the middle men that add to the price.My advice would be to try and find something similar in the US and just keep trying different grapes to see which is your preference..... if you already have a prefered grape (mine is Syrah), then look to try from different countries until you find something that sits well with you (it's South Africa for me).The one problem with this approach is, when you go "directly" to smaller winemakers there's only a finite amount of a certain vintage (unlike the larger companies that mass-produce), so you will find that a certain wine you like might just run out of stock.Oh well, it gives me an excuse to try even more.

Peter Meinertzhagen, a City legend, dies
Peter Meinertzhagen, the former chairman of Hoare Govett and one of the most highly-regarded corporate brokers to have worked in London's financial industry, died earlier this week at the age of 66.
Born in Paddington, the Eton educated Meinertzhagen joined Hoare Govett when he was 19 and rose to become "City aristocracy without any of the snobbishness", said one close associate.
He stayed with the firm when it was bought first by Security Pacific, then ABN Amro. He retired from day-to-day broking activities at the company in 2004 and assumed a part-time role, but returned to manage the business in 2005 after chief executive Nigel Mills defected to Citigroup, taking a team of six managing directors with him.
After the appointment of Paul Nicholls as chief executive in 2006, he retired as chairman of the business for a second time in March 2007. In 2010, he became a non-executive director at Oriel Securities.
The UK broker said in a statement this morning: "We are very saddened by Peter Meinertzhagen's unexpected death. He was much admired and respected by everyone at Oriel. Our thoughts are with his family."
A long-time colleague at Hoare Govett, now at Jefferies, told Financial News this morning: "We all held him, and continue to hold him, in the highest regard. There haven't been many brokers like Peter, and he will be sorely missed by colleagues and former colleagues, but also companies he looked after and institutions. There aren't many people like him.
"Peter always had a very strong view about what was right and wrong, and that is something that has been instilled in me over the many years I've known him. When he was a colleague, he would always tell it to you straight, and you were pretty foolish if you didn't listen to him. I think a lot of people discovered that over the years."
Nigel Mills, now chairman of corporate broking at Citigroup, said: "He is someone who cared for people, and who cared for the people who worked for him. He was professional, competitive and determined, but not excessively. As an individual, he was very rounded, with wide interests and a great sense of humour.
"He cared for those that worked with him, both within the business and also in terms of the wider life they had. From the lowest and youngest to the highest and oldest, he would always have a word asking about how they were. It was a privilege to work with him."

Mike Kudla.Kudla turned heads at the combine with his 45 (ish) 225 reps (tied the record at the time) and was eerily similar to Simon in size and speed. That said, Simon is much more of a playmaker than Kudla, but they are both similar in that their size does not present a celing in the NCAA, but it is an issue in the NFL.I think Simon will have a better NFL career than Kudla (Undrafted FA by the Steelers who didn't stick) and I think his motor will allow him to overcome, but the two are very similar and it drives home the point that strength alone is not enough.

I guess in a way you can use it to eliminate a prospect, but you certainly can't put too much value on it. Furls, I am not disagreeing with you, just conventional wisdom. Speaking from point of a dad who took hitting instruction upon his shoulders, if I'd depended "conventional wisdom" or groupthink I am certain my kids would be throwing around lacrosse balls at this point. I also get the fact that if you throw a few hundred kids into a testing cycle it's pretty hard to get too fancy in the types of activities you can test. You do have to come up with some measurable standards, where the test is easily administered and of course this is as straightforward as it gets. I've been at the assumption that moving as much weight as possible over small rep range (5 or less) is much better for an athlete that a high rep activity, but I guess this tests muscular endurance as well so you might see who doesn't peter out in the 4th quarter.

Area lawmakers react to budget forecast
ST. PAUL – Area legislators offered different views about Thursday's improved state budget forecast.
The forecast by the Minnesota Management and Budget Department showed a $295 million surplus up to June. That surplus will be statutorily put towards the state's school funding shift.
The forecast from July through 2015 reduced the projected deficit down from $1.1 billion to $627 million.
Republican legislators Rep. Paul Torkelson (R-Rural Hanska) and Sen. Gary Dahms (R-Redwood Falls) said the forecast was good news. However, they urged caution with proceeding forward, objecting to any proposals to increase spend or taxes.
Torkelson was more pleased with the long-term improved forecast than with the recent year improvement, which he expected. He said despite the signals of long-term improvement, he believes there should be seriously limited action taken in order to brace for the potential impact of federal sequestration funding cuts.
Dahms attributed the improved forecast to Republicans' work when in the majority of the Legislature in the last biennium. He said the policies that allowed freedom of the market and for economic process to work themselves out improved the state's financial situation.
Rep. Clark Johnson (DFL-North Mankato) said the forecast was good news and positioned the Legislature in a better situation to build a comprehensive budget that would prevent future deficits. He said the improved forecast may also improve the chances of various potential state investments, such as the pending legislation on the Highway 14 four-lane expansion project.

Slow-Cooker Split Pea Soup
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus 8 to 10 parsley stems
- 4 sprigs thyme
- 1 pound green split peas, picked over and rinsed
- 1 large leek, white and light green part only, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 smoked turkey leg (1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
- Crusty multigrain bread, for serving (optional)
Tie the parsley stems and thyme together with kitchen string and place in a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the split peas, leek, celery, carrots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; stir to combine. Add the turkey leg and 7 cups water. Cover and cook on low until the split peas and meat are tender, 6 to 8 hours.
Discard the herb bundle. Discard the skin and bones from the turkey leg and shred the meat. Vigorously stir the soup to break up the peas and make the soup smoother. Thin with water, if desired. Stir in the chopped parsley and about three-quarters of the turkey meat; season with salt and pepper.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Thin the yogurt with a little water, then spoon onto the soup. Top with the thawed peas and the remaining turkey. Serve with bread, if desired.

Lee/Obanana Win Silver and Wang Sisters Win Bronze in Women's Doubles at 2012 Polish Open International Badminton Championships
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Just one month after winning the silver medal in women's doubles at the 2012 Austrian International Badminton Challenge, Eva Lee (Orange, Calif.) and Paula Lynn Obanana (Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn./Mountain View, Calif.) authored a repeat performance, this time winning the silver medal in women's doubles at the 2012 Polish Open International Badminton Championships at the Matchpoint Tennis and Sports Club just south of Wroclaw, Poland, March 22-25, 2012. Joining Lee and Obanana on the medal podium were USA Badminton athletes and sisters, Iris Wang (Arcadia, Calif.) and Rena Wang (Arcadia, Calif.) with the bronze medal in women's doubles. With these performances both USA Badminton women's doubles teams Lee/Obanana and the Wang sisters will gain valuable Olympic qualifying points for the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England. England's own Mariana Agathangelou and Heather Olver defeated Lee and Obanana in the final to take the gold medal.
Lee, Obanana and the Wang sisters are nearing the end of what has been a worldwide tour in the midst of the 2012 Olympic qualifying season which began on May 1, 2011 and concludes on April 30, 2012. Participation in the Olympic Games is solely determined by an athlete's international ranking. Only 16 women's doubles teams will earn invitations to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games, which will be held July 27th – August 12th in London, England. The Badminton World Federation has an extensive formula based on overall world ranking with continental considerations to determine which teams earn invitations for the 16 available slots. Both teams of Lee/Obanana and the Wang sisters are locked in an extremely tight race with two Canadian teams which will likely determine which one team from the Pan American Confederation will rank the highest in the BWF world rankings to earn the coveted Olympic invitation. In the most recent BWF World Rankings which came out on Thursday, March 22, 2012, Lee/Obanana were ranked 31st followed closely by the Wang sisters at 32nd. Canadian's Alex Bruce and Michelle Li lead the Pan American teams with a ranking of 28th, closely followed by their compatriots Nicole Grether and Charmaine Reid at 30th. At the 2012 Polish Open International Badminton Championships Lee and Obanana defeated Canada's Grether and Reid in head-to-head competition in the semifinals, likely moving Lee/Obanana above Grether and Reid in this week's BWF World Rankings which will be released on Thursday, March 29th.
To view current BWF World Rankings, please visit: http://www.bwfbadminton.org/page.aspx?id=14955
Five badminton events will be contested at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England; men's doubles, women's doubles, men's singles, women's singles and mixed doubles. Each doubles discipline will have 16 pairs competing, while the women's and men's singles will each have 38 individual athletes competing. The Badminton World Federation has an extensive formula based on overall world ranking with continental considerations to determine which teams and athletes earn invitations for the available slot in each discipline. Badminton competition at the 2012 Olympic Games will take place July 28th to August 5th in the historic Wembley Arena.
The Wang sisters also each competed in the women's singles event at the 2012 Polish Open International Badminton Championships, but an unfortunate draw saw the two sisters meet in the second round after both posted first round wins. Rena Wang got the best of her younger sister Iris Wang in the second round defeating her two games to none (21-11 and 21-9). Wang then fell to Russia's Anastasia Prokopenko 21-23 and 12-21 in the quarterfinals. Karyn Velez (North Hills, Calif.) also captured a first round win in women's singles for the U.S. before losing in the second round to Finland's Anu Nieminen.
