Notable Oregonians: Bill Bowerman - Coach and Innovator
William Jay "Bill" Bowerman was born on February 19, 1911 in Portland, Oregon. His father, Jay, was president of the Oregon Senate and briefly served as acting governor of Oregon. After his parents divorced in 1913, Bowerman spent his early years in Fossil, Oregon with his mother. He later graduated from Medford High School and the University of Oregon. A lack of money to attend medical school eventually led him to a career as a coach, including eight years at Medford High School. World War II intervened and Bowerman served in the Army's Tenth Mountain Division from 1943 until 1945 before returning to Medford.
His big break came when longtime University of Oregon track coach Bill Hayward retired in 1947. The next year the University of Oregon hired Bowerman as head track coach, a position he would hold until 1972. Over the years, his team won 24 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) individual titles and four NCAA team championships. Bowerman also coached 33 Olympians, 38 conference champions, and 64 All-Americans. In dual meets during his tenure, the Ducks built a 114-20 record and recorded 10 undefeated seasons.
Bowerman's innovations spanned both training and equipment. He focused on individual training for his athletes with weekly workout schedules designed specifically for the personal goals of each member of the team. Counter to prevailing practices that often led to overtraining, Bowerman developed the now popular hard-easy training method that gave runners easy days to let their bodies recover. Moreover, he taught his athletes to concentrate energy on finding psychological ways to enhance their peak performance.
Bowerman's focus on finding the competitive edge naturally led him to experiment in other areas as well. He was an early user of movie cameras as a teaching tool to help athletes study their technique. He worked on recipes for sports drinks, designed lighter uniforms, and developed new track surfaces. But Bowerman's biggest innovations came from his obsession with creating lighter, more effective running shoes. He began cobbling custom-made shoes for his runners, including half-miler Phil Knight in the 1950s. By the early 1960s, he and Knight formed the company that would later become Nike, Inc. Seeking better traction and cushioning for running shoes, Bowerman later experimented with putting urethane in his wife's waffle iron. The resulting sole design revolutionized running shoes and catapulted Nike to prominence.
Bowerman also helped pioneer jogging in the United States after being introduced to the fitness routine in New Zealand in 1962. He began writing articles and books while creating a jogging program in Eugene that would become a national model as a fitness program. He teamed with cardiologist Waldo Harris in the mid 1960s to write two popular books entitled Jogging that helped elevate the sport to a national pastime. Bowerman counted the research that he and Harris conducted on the health benefits of running to be one of his greatest achievements.
Bill Bowerman died in 1999 in Fossil, Oregon. In recognition of his achievements, he is member of the National Distance Running Hall of Fame, the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame, the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame and Oregon's Athletic Hall of Fame.

Platform: PlayStation® 2; PC
Category: Single Player and Online Multiplayer Action/RPG
Release: Winter 2006
Phantasy Star Universe is the first single-player Phantasy Star game to arrive in more than a decade. The Phantasy Star franchise started as a series of turn-based RPGs (Phantasy Star™ I-IV, 1988-1994), evolved into an online multiplayer action-adventure (Phantasy Star™ Online Episode I-IV, 2000-2005), and now hits its stride as the best of both, a single player action-RPG with a multiplayer online component.
This robust action-RPG offers more than 40 hours of single-player gameplay, an
emotionally engaging story, traditional cut scenes, and strong character development. The title's hero is Ethan Waber, a 17-year old cadet intent on saving his sister, who is living on a planet under siege by mysterious life forms called THE SEED. The combo driven action gameplay in Phantasy Star Universe provides for a fast-paced, engaging experience, while the game's rich character customization options and enormous world are sure to satisfy RPG fans seeking depth.
The fee-based online mode in Phantasy Star Universe continues where the offline mode's story leaves off. Players are given the opportunity to travel with a squad of other adventurers, enter urban sprawls teeming with hundreds of players, and build their avatars into powerful warriors.

Jay Carney clashes with Jon Karl: That Benghazi e-mail from Ben Rhodes wasn't about Benghazi
posted at 3:21 pm on April 30, 2014 by Allahpundit
Not the first time the White House has tried to spin itself out of a political jam on Benghazi by very finely parsing a particular choice of words. The day after the attack, Obama said vaguely in the Rose Garden that "no acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation;" after that, however, he studiously refused to describe Benghazi as a terrorist attack. Then, later, having taken some heat for that, he insisted that he'd been calling it terrorism all along, pointing back to his Rose Garden statement as proof. WaPo's fact-checker slapped him with four Pinocchios for that.
Now here's Carney insisting that the Ben Rhodes email that lit up conservative media yesterday, which listed as one of the White House's goals before Susan Rice's Sunday show appearances "to underscore that these protests are rooted in an Internet video, and not a broader failure of policy," didn't necessarily mean Benghazi — even though the whole reason Rice was booked was because a U.S. ambassador had just been killed in the American consulate there. It's basically his version of "These aren't the droids you're looking for." Is it working?
Q: Jay, I guess you're aware that Judicial Watch obtained an email from Ben Rhodes to staff members about the Benghazi attack.
MR. CARNEY: That's incorrect, but go ahead.
Q: Oh, OK.
MR. CARNEY: The email and the talking points were not about Benghazi. They were about the general situation in the Muslim world, where you saw, as you may recall, protests…
That exchange isn't in the clip below (it happened a few minutes earlier in the briefing) but you'll see Carney reiterate the point. In other words, he wants you to think that Rhodes's e-mail wasn't about spinning the gigantic foreign-policy crisis foisted on the White House by the Benghazi attack but rather the much smaller crisis of Islamists gathering near the U.S. embassies on the anniversary of 9/11 to protest the Mohammed movie. It's ludicrous on its face. If he's desperate to spin the Rhodes e-mail, I wonder, why didn't he follow the timeline a la Dave Weigel and argue that Rhodes himself was merely reacting to the first draft of the CIA talking points issued earlier that same day? The White House's goal all along in this mess over the video has been to keep it safely quarantined outside their own building, a product of honest error by U.S. intelligence, not scapegoating directed from political agents in Obama's inner circle. Carney could have made that move here; instead, he decided to try arguing that somehow the entire public's confused about the plain import of Rhodes's e-mail, to spin the Benghazi attack. Baffling.
Another question from Karl: Why wasn't Rhodes's e-mail released before yesterday? It … does seem germane to the House's investigation of Benghazi.
@PressSec says @rhodes44 email not released bc "explicitly not about Benghazi." It has section entitled "Benghazi" pic.twitter.com/SP3c5MynS6
— Jonathan Karl (@jonkarl) April 30, 2014
If there's no smoking gun and they're eager to put Benghazi behind them, everything should have been disgorged to House investigators ASAP. Instead, this. What conclusion should be drawn?

Generate Toolpaths for Mazatrol Matrix Offline
CamLink offline programming software now supports Mazatrol Matrix M, Matrix T, Matrix MT and Matrix ME controls.
New Product: 6/18/2010

CamLink offline programming software now supports Mazatrol Matrix M, Matrix T, Matrix MT and Matrix ME controls. Enabling users to accelerate the programming process by moving it offline, the software supports the control in its GB\DataTransfer, GB\DataPrint, GB\DataEntry, GB\GeoEntry and GB\GeoSolid software programs. Users can efficiently program in Mazatrol at their PC and take advantage of the Matrix's improved functions including pocket milling with multiple islands and B-axis indexing for lathes. In addition, users can check their programs for accuracy and highlight potential costly errors before parts are manufactured on the shop floor.
Tool Path for Matrix Mill will allow users to view the shape and cutting path of their part before sending the program to the control. The Tool Path is viewable in wire frame or 3D solid mode. GB\DataEntry uses a graphics check feature called ShapeCheck, which allows users to view the part shape in a 3D surface model or wire frame, rotate the part shape and set the transparency level. With a single mouse click, users can also select from a unit list, view the selected unit on screen and see the corresponding Mazatrol code highlighted in the program.
SolidWorks users can also enjoy the added benefits of Matrix support with GB\GeoSolid software, which combines the power of Mazatrol with the solids capabilities of SolidWorks, the company says. As a result, programming time is said to be reduced and errors are eliminated by using the solids data already contained in the SolidWorks model.

Awww poor sweet little Isis, it's so heartbreaking when our little ones are sick especially as sick as this, ughh I hope she is feeling better.
If you get a chance and need a laugh, my brother's home video went viral just recently. You may seen it, a daddy flops onto an air mattress launching my niece into the air. It was unexpected but thankfully she wasn't hurt! My daughters are in it too. They have been getting interviewed by TV shows and have been getting offers to buy the video itself. It's crazy.
I did an article for the Detroit Examiner today regarding the craze and it was cover news and currently is circulating as cover news. please feel free to share with whoever you desire. This video has caused many to laugh! I have been fighting depression lately this video remedied that. God is so good how he does things. Don't be alarmed, my sweet niece was not harmed in this video it was a shock, but it turned out being pretty hilarious after knowing she wasn't hurt! Here is the link if you are up to checking it out, if not I totally understand! Again here's the link for my recent article God bless you!
If the link doesn't work you can check out my recent blog post, I did a post on it in there with the actual link!

Re: Composting
I have a question ...
In my very small garden , I have 2 compost bins ( black plastic darlek shaped things that were bought from the local council )
We alternate using then , so each your one lies dormant , sitting there and quietly doing it's stuff , making some mega compost for the garden whilst we use the other bin.
These compost bins are like 'black holes'
They seem to devoure what ever veg matter is put into them and still not fill.
My question is ... I have been told yhat no cooked vegetables should be added tooth composted .
Why is this ?
Or is this misinformation and cooked veg are ok to be added.
I always feel a bit guilty when I make a vegetable stock and then have to put the cooked veg remains into the bin rather than the composted ( feels like I'm cheating the composted out of a good meal !)

Re: Composting
Throw in the cooked veg! It will help make good compost!
Anything that has been alive can go in! (you do need to worry a bit about meat, but definitely not cooked veg!)
And don't forget to put equal quantity dry leaves, straw etc, that will fill it up and get it smelling beautiful!
BTW We have a big tree carpeting the concrete at the back of the flats with a carpet of small flowers. How the compost loves these! They act really quickly and get it hot and steaming! I sweep up a bucketful or two each day at this time of year!

Re: Composting
The fruit flies (really vinegar flies) are common around compost bins and do no harm. They indicate that your bin is on the acidic side. Adding more brown (leaves, straw etc) and turning often will rebalance it and get rid of them!

Re: Composting
Hi Mummza,
That's a really interesting question. One argument against cooked vegetables is that if they've been cooked in lots of oils, they are more likely to attract vermin than raw vegetables. However, in practice, unless you added tons of very oily cooked veg I don't think this would be a problem. I certainly add cooked veg and haven't noticed a problem with rats.
I wouldn't however add dairy or meat (certainly not a dead cat) because this will attract rats, flies and smell horrible.
Hope this helps. Love to hear how it goes.

Re: Composting
I have three raised beds in my back yard that gives a lot of vegetables. Even living in the city, I have five chickens. When the first frost occurs, I pull the dirt to one side in the garden and place all the dirt, poop, and tattered straw from the chicken coop in the bottom of the vegetable beds, recover with the dirt and let rest during the winter. In the spring, I mix it up well and cover with the black barrier cloth. I poke holes in the cloth to plant (no weeding, year). My garden produces large healthy vegetables, more than you would ever guess.

Tinsel and...TURTLES?!
While you bask in the glow of holiday presents, lights and good cheer, a few adoptable pets at HAWS are also basking, but they'd prefer it in new forever homes!
Bailey is an African Side-Necked Turtle, also known as a Serrated Mud Turtle. She (?) is active, hearty and curious (often shy at first, these turtles acclimate well and soon show their inquisitive sides!). Most African Side-necked Turtles can be kept in relatively simple housing because of their modest needs – a place to swim and a basking log. When basking, Bailey will "plop" into the water when approached…but once she knows you she will quickly surface to see if you have any food! Adult females can grow larger than most people realize, reaching 9-12" inches within five or six years.
Moo & Phillip came in together, and are sharing table space alongside Mr. Turtle (who might actually be female, ironically). All are Red Ear Sliders, a semi-aquatic turtle that is the most common reptile pet in the world. Unfortunately, they can be very complicated to own and often owners aren't ready for their needs! There is a great website devoted to them – www.redearslider.com (no, really) – that goes into lots of detail as to their needs, natural habitats and the like.
Bailey, Moo & Phillip and Mr. Turtle have been guests at HAWS since September. They are definitely fun to have around and the kids participating in our education programs really enjoy them, but they would really love to become someone's personal companions!

Vitamin D Therapy: Training in Tucson
I don't even know how this happened. I'm going to go ahead and blame my coach because it was his idea. Secondary blame goes to Sal, whom I allowed to make the final decision for us, since I was on the fence:
"Sicily or training camp in Tucson?"
"Training camp in Tucson."
I know, right? I was surprised too. But secretly kind of happy. I mean, really? Training camp? Is that like band camp? Just think of all the crazy crap we're going to do!
Of course, I was also nervous. Big miles early in the year. There weren't many women signed up to go. I had visions of caribou and rescue teams. But my coach assured me I'd be ready, so I took a deep breath and one big leap of faith and trained my ass off.
And here I am.
It's sunny. In fact, it's the best weather Tucson has seen all winter. We rolled out in short sleeves and shorts. No booties, no leg warmers, no wool base-layer, no thick cap. No snow!
Shit-eating grins were the order of the day.
60 miles of rolling, climbing and swooping. Not even the 30 mph headwind on the climb heading out could break us. Mark attacked, Sal followed, and the game was on.
Eventually I hooked up with Javad and one of our guides, Mike, and we clawed our way into the wind to the top of the climb. And I did what I do best – sucked wheel like a champ.
The work paid off and on the way back we found the big ring and ripped out a roaring descent. Wind at our backs.
At Saguaro National Park we ducked in for an 8-mile lap around the scenic loop. Roller coaster city. One way traffic, vistas, and big silky turns. The kind of terrain that makes you feel 12 years old again.
Back at the house we went straight into the unheated pool for an ice bath, slugging recovery drinks as we did.
Lunch was immaculate: lentil soup, naan bread, fresh green salad, and three bean salad. It nearly rivaled the grilled salmon and rice pilaf of the night before.
I rubbed the road off my calves in the shower and wondered what tomorrow would feel like. Then, like a kindergartner, I succumbed to nap time and fell asleep with the acute sensation of my legs heavy on the bed.
Tomorrow brings more miles, more climbing, and more sun.
Ride hard, buttercup – road season's a-comin'!

Notable Oregonians: Robert Gray - Captain, Discoverer
Robert Gray was born in Tiverton, Rhode Island on May 10, 1755. He served in the Continental Navy during the Revolutionary War and later worked for a Massachusetts trading company. In 1787 Captain Gray and Captain John Kendrick were sent out by their backers from Boston with a cargo of buttons, beads, blue cloth, and other items. Arriving on the Oregon coast 10 months later, they bargained with the natives for the pelts of sea otters. Sailing on to the Orient, they sold pelts and bought tea and possibly silk and spices. To complete the voyage, they sailed west to Boston, making Gray the first American merchant sailor to circumnavigate the globe.
Gray's most notable achievement came on his second voyage to the Oregon coast in 1792. He noted a flow of muddy water fanning from the shore and decided to explore his belief that it was the "Great River of the West." Gray crossed the treacherous sand bar and named the river after his ship, the "Columbia Rediviva." After a week or so of trading with the Indians, Gray left without investigating where the river led. Instead, he once again circumnavigated the globe. After his return to Boston in July 1793, he spent the remainder of his career commanding merchant vessels along the Atlantic Coast. He died in 1806 and was buried at sea.
Gray's discovery of the Columbia River gave the United States a strong claim to the Oregon Country. It encouraged other American fur traders, who used the Columbia River as a winter haven. By the end of the century these traders controlled the sea otter trade and the presence of the United States was firmly established in the Pacific Northwest, a presence on which the United States would later base its claim to possession.

Iran Accuses U.S., Israel of Causing "Unwanted Slowness" on its Internet

Iran struggles to defend its networks from external attackers even as it is swept with internal political unrest
Just months after leaks from inside the Obama administration or senior intelligence indicated that the
U.S. and Israel has plotted to install malware
on computers at nuclear-processing facilities in Iran in a
successful sabotage attempt
, Iran is sounding off with new claims of U.S. or Israeli malice. Iran said Wednesday in comments to reporters that on Tuesday its national internet infrastructure was targeted by large-scale data disruption, which it believes was the work of the U.S. or Israeli, its
traditional arch-rivals
I. A New Attack
Iran's secretary of the High Council of Cyberspace, Mehdi Akhavan Behabadi, as accusing, "Yesterday we had a heavy attack against the country's infrastructure and communications companies which has forced us to limit the Internet. Presently we have constant cyber attacks in the country."
"Yesterday an attack with a traffic of several gigabytes hit the Internet infrastructure, which caused an unwanted slowness in the country's Internet. All of these attacks have been organized. And they have in mind the country's nuclear, oil, and information networks."
Iran has accused the U.S. of another "cyber war" effort.
[Image Source: Interplay (cover art for
The alleged attack comes at a period of high tensions between Iran's capital, Tehran, and the West. Both the U.S. and Israel have claimed to have intelligence indicating that Iran is seeking to develop short-range nuclear weapons, weapons which could pose a dire threat to the Israeli state. While the U.S. has stopped short of calling for a physical attack on Iran, Israeli has taken things a step further saying it will attack suspected Iranian nuclear facilities with or without the U.S. if Iran doesn't pledge to stop development.
Iran says it will defend itself if attacked and refuses to stop what it says is a "peaceful" uranium enrichment program.
II. The Threat From Within vs. the Threats From Outside
But the nation is also facing internal turmoil amidst a wave of revolutions in the Middle East. Iran's currency lost a third of its value against the dollar in just the last week, a staggering collapse that had citizens -- particularly those in the financial sectors -- protesting in the street. Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has ordered riot police to crack down on the protesters. This is the second time in only three years that riot police have clashed with citizen protesters; in 2009 citizens took to the streets claiming that the Iranian President had resorted to fraud in his successful reelection bid.
The recent protests, in part, have forced Iranian military and intelligence to step up their internet expertise. Iran has one of the world's most extensive nation-level filters, a firewall
analogous to China's
Sites like YouTube
or Facebook
have been banned
to try to prevent citizens from using them as channels to spread word of protests or other anti-government activities. Iran also bans some of these sites for refusing to obey Islamic law, which among other things forbid depictions of their Prophet Mohammed.
In recent weeks Iranian protesters have clashed with riot police, similar to the riots of 2009 (pictured).

But that filtering also leaves Iran's infrastructure vulnerable to foreign attack, as it means traffic is being routed through certain central conduits. Indeed, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim the country is
prepared to wage "cyber war"
with Israel and the West, the recent allegations indicate that Iran's efforts to secure itself against internal dissent are crippling its ability to defend itself against external threats.
Recent attacks on Iran have also
struck at the Iranian oil industry
, the lifeblood of the nation's economy. Iran is the world's fifth largest oil producer. As the U.S. refuses to buy its oil, thus Iran primarily sells its fossil fuels to China.

Not talking so much about class or trickle-down. The point I was trying to make is it's all about the organization, and I believe that a quality organization starts at the top. Few organizations have all great (or classy) members, but the good ones bring the best in all their members, and IMHO, that starts at the top.
I know this is a ridiculous comparison, but by my house we have 2 Wawas within a few miles of each other that are physically identical in almost every way. I love a tuna sandwich, and often go to one or the other to get one. At one store, the employees are happy and pleasant, and you get great service and they make consistantly good sandwiches. At the other, the employees all have attitudes, and on any given day you are likely to get the wrong ingredients on your sandwich, the wrong sandwitch, or when you open the wrapper, you find everything all over the wrapper, instead of inside the sandwitch.
Whats the difference between the 2 stores? Management/Organization.
Unfortunately, guess which one is much closer to my home....?
The Jets oragnization shold be named Ringling Brothers.......the place is a circus that wants to get the same media attention the Giants get........since they can't get headlines by winning, they'll take it anyway they can.
I stopped fighting my inner demons. We're on the same side now.

Matt how many hives you run? I don't keep count anymore but I should be around 100 or so after the splits I made today I they all take which they won't...
U also run a lot of singles? I did this this year for the first real time. They produced a lot of honey but are nothing but pollen and brood below the excluder. I feed a lot of fondant in the winter but I now worry about all those singles when I pull the supers on them... How do u manage the feed in them?
I wasn't planning on running a medium on them but thinking about it for the summer and fall for nothing more than rainy day honey in the hive...

Jesse Garn can say he is having a great semester: The junior recently broke the four-minute mile.

Garn is more than just a track star
April 7, 2014Tweet
For the past two months, junior middle distance runner Jesse Garn has been representing Binghamton University on some of the biggest stages of college track and field.
In February, he competed at the Millrose Games, which were aired on NBCSN. After being named the Most Outstanding Men's Track Performer at the America East Indoor Championships (which were held Feb. 23-24), he broke four minutes in the mile on March 2. One week later, Garn anchored Binghamton's winning 4 x 800 relay team at the IC4A Championships.
Garn, however, has represented Binghamton University in many other ways over the past year. Last summer, he worked as a tour guide on campus in the Admissions Office. He is also heavily involved with the BU Zoo, a student-run spirit group that supports the University's athletics teams. On more than one occasion, Garn has even dressed up as Baxter the Bearcat, the University's mascot that shows up for special events.
The passion Garn has for Binghamton can be traced back to when he attended Marcellus High School. Long before he won a state title in the 1,000 his senior year, he was already looking ahead to college.
"I had known Binghamton was a good academic school since my junior year of high school, which is when I began contacting them with an interest in running here," he said. "Recognizing that the distance program had already begun grinding out (four-time All-American) Erik van Ingen, I knew I would receive great training for the middle distance events. When I took my official visit, I couldn't believe how comfortable I felt. I loved the campus, and fit in with the team right away."
Garn was injured his freshman cross country season, but began scoring points at the conference meets during the ensuing track campaign. He even advanced to the NCAA Outdoor East Regional finals in the 800. Garn's veteran teammates were quickly impressed with both his talent and demeanor.
"I have always thought of Jesse as a very outgoing guy who can make conversation with anybody and be anybody's pal," senior Vasili Papastrat said. "He has always fit in perfectly with this team and has been a role model."
Away from the track, Garn was a regular at many other athletic events on campus his freshman year. In the stands with him was Andrew Loso, a friend of his who wanted to help build student spirit. A few years earlier, the BU Zoo was a big source of such. In the spring of 2013, Loso told Garn he wanted to reignite the group.
"I wouldn't call the school spirit at Binghamton dull when I came in as a freshman, but there was certainly room for improvement," Garn said. "When Andrew came to me with the idea of jump-starting the BU Zoo, I was on board immediately."
Last spring, Garn advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Regional Meet for the second year in a row. He also won the 1,500 at the America East Outdoor Track Championships. When he wasn't competing, however, Garn was at other athletic events, passing out fliers on behalf of the BU Zoo.
"Jesse has been an excellent addition to our group," Loso said. "With a process that is such a grassroots effort, it's great to have someone on our team who is so often in the spotlight and can lead others to become committed."
Following his sophomore track season, Garn stayed on campus to take summer classes. With no meets or other athletic events, he had more free time than usual. His parents suggested he fill the void by working as a tour guide.
"My parents know how sociable I am on top of having an excitable personality, so they thought I would be good at it," he said. "I liked the thought of being one to sell Binghamton for all it has, and it was easier done with all that the school really does have to offer. It was a unique experience and I may pursue it again in the future."
Although he only was able to be a tour guide during the summer, Garn made a favorable impression with people in the Binghamton University Admissions Department.
"Jesse wore his Binghamton University pride in his smile and charm," Assistant Admissions Director Craig Broccoli said. "Tour guides are hired based on their ability to authentically represent Binghamton, and that is exactly what Jesse did. His ambition and witty character was a big hit with families and his co-workers. It was clear that he truly wanted to represent Binghamton."
During that summer, Garn continued to train for the upcoming cross country season. Sometimes he came to the Admissions Office right afterwards. His demeanor, however, was always the same.
"Even after a workout, Jesse always had boundless energy," Broccoli said. "He was always willing to do something extra, or do something a bit out of the way for our visiting families and guests."
When he wasn't meeting with prospective students last summer, Garn was welcoming incoming students…without saying a word. He volunteered to dress up as Baxter the Bearcat at several freshman orientation events.
"They needed a volunteer and I was ready to help out," he said. "I figured, how often does a person get a chance to be THE school mascot. At the orientation events, the incoming freshmen were told that they were now Bearcats. I walked into the room as Baxter and got a lot of applause, even though no one knew who I was. It was very exciting."
"Jesse was a great mascot," Loso said. "He certainly had a lot of energy and Garn-like spunk that pumped the crowd up."
If anyone is familiar with Garn's qualities as a person, it's Annette Acuff, who is the head cross country and assistant track coach at Binghamton. In the past two years, she has coached him at big track meets all over the country.
"He listens and communicates well, trusts in what we're doing, and has a positive outlook no matter what the outcome is," she said. "He usually has a smile on his face and is raring to go. Without a doubt his character has certainly played a huge role in his success."
"Most of the credit for my success goes to Coach Acuff," Garn said. "She was familiar with my high school training and knew where to go from there with me. The biggest thing she has done for me is maintain an unparalleled confidence in myself and my ability. Never has she doubted my potential, and the high goals we've set have become realistic with each passing season."
During Garn's indoor season, many of the other people he worked with on campus were paying close attention. This was especially true after he broke four minutes in the mile at the Boston/Last Chance Meet on March 2.
"When Jesse broke four minutes, the BU Zoo was at a men's basketball game at the Events Center," Loso said. "Dave Simek (the P.A. announcer) announced the news to the whole Events Center and, expectedly, we all freaked out. It gave us a lot of energy to finish cheering strong that day."
"A group of us (in Admissions) followed Jesse's season closely," Broccoli said. "But a lot more people around the office became aware of him running at the Millrose Games and breaking four minutes in the mile."
Garn will redshirt this coming outdoor season. That means he has two more years of eligibility in both indoor and outdoor track. His final cross country season will be this coming fall. The obvious future goal for Garn and Acuff is making the NCAA Championships. Should that goal be realized, some people on campus will be ready.
"All of us in the BU Zoo are already planning on throwing a viewing party if he makes NCAAs," Loso said. "We will be with him every step of the way."
Regardless of what transpires the next two years, Garn will continue to savor his time at Binghamton University. Whether he is in the spotlight, in the stands, giving a guided tour or being the mascot, he takes great pride in representing a place that he loves.
"I recognized quickly that Binghamton University had a lot to offer and felt it was the place for me," he said. "With two years yet to come, I have already made countless memories and friends that will last a lifetime. Choosing to come to Binghamton was the best decision I've ever made, and I am proud to call myself a Bearcat."

Woody Allen's new film may seem cobbled together from bits of paper from his "drawerful of ideas" (see interview previous page), but that's no bad thing. In Rome, after recent cinematic sojourns in London, Barcelona and Paris, he's in playful mood: his most serious point is that the media obsession with celebrity is both shallow and fickle, scarcely qualifying as ground-breaking critique.
The film's four vignettes are almost completely independent of each other and only marginally in touch with the real world: they unfold in parallel but one of them plainly occupies an afternoon while another takes weeks. Meanwhile Baldwin is simultaneously narrator, character and chorus-like intruder in others' stories whose visibility varies according to the needs of the screenplay.
It's one of the film's many charms that it moves so seamlessly between fantasy and reality, and that much of what belongs in one realm seems to infiltrate the other. Allen himself plays Jerry, an retired opera impresario whose career has been a critical disaster - a running gag has his wife Phyllis (Davis) saying he was "before his time".
They arrive in Rome to meet the local man who has swept their holidaying daughter off her feet, and Jerry becomes fascinated by the beau's father, who has a magnificent voice (the role is taken by the noted tenor Fabio Armiliato).
The complications that attend on Jerry's plans for the new star and the way in which he solves them should not be divulged here, but Allen interleaves this story with that of two newlyweds, just arrived from the sticks, whose fidelity will be sorely tested; a famous architect (Baldwin) who meets an acolyte (Eisenberg), who in turn becomes enmeshed with a pretentious and self-absorbed actress (Page, in the film's best turn by some margin); and a lowly clerk (Benigni) who becomes suddenly and inexplicably a celebrity.
This is far from vintage Woody - some of the dialogue is clunky as hell and there's a contrived feel to some storylines - but the essential good-heartedness of the undertaking puts one in mind of a Shakespearean comedy. A perfect diversion for a summer afternoon.
Stars: 3.5/5
Cast: Woody Allen, Roberto Benigni, Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, Judy Davis, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin
Director: Woody Allen
Running time: 112 mins. In English and Italian with English subtitles
Verdict: Woody light

I was just thinking about the supplemental feeds that we feed our bees, in particular I've been wondering about what contaminants might be in the ingredients.
Some of the ingredients we use to feed our honey bees:
Soybean flour -->soybean seeds are treated with neonicotinoid insecticides
Brewers Yeast -->hops and barley are both treated with neonicotinoid insecticides
Vegetable Oil -->canola, sunflower, corn, and most other crops grown for their oils are treated with neonicotinoid insecticides
Sugar (Sucrose and HFCS) -->neonicotinoid insecticides are used on corn, sugar beets, and even sugar cane.
Maybe neonicotinoid insecticides are practically harmless to humans when we ingest it in our food, but aren't honey bees supposed to be sensitive to even very minute quantities of these insecticides?
How do I know that I'm not poisoning my bees when I attempt to improve their diet?
Is there any way to know if any of these or other poisons are in the food we feed our bees?

Rated 5 out of 5 by MB15 from Shower Gift of the Century I had placed this set on my registry. I am an avid baker and cook. I have been lusting after an All Clad pots and pan set for years. Since I have received this set I have used each and every piece. The non stick makes cooking a breeze, everything washes off so easily! The best part it is the set holds up to the high All Clad standards I have heard about all these years. The pots and pans are heavy and sturdy and heat evenly.Date published: 2015-02-01Rated 5 out of 5 by cookingtogether from Non-Stick is the way to go!!!! My husband and I started out with the stainless d5 All Clad --not the non-stick to start...beautiful quality but things were sticking despite following the directions and lower heat...and clean-up was a daily grind--even with the Bar Keeper's Friend product. We returned that set for an upgrade to this non-stick set of All Clad--Hurray!!! I definitely think the non-stick is the way to go...life is enough of a grind without worrying about food sticking and clean up! Beautiful product, durable, and wonderful even heat...and truly effortless clean-up.Date published: 2014-09-08Rated 1 out of 5 by dijkdes from Love All-Clad, hate their non-stick pans I received a non-stick set for my wedding back in 2008. After about 4 years of use, the non-stick layer has completely peeled off at the edges. I am SO disappointed. It has rendered my expensive pans pretty much useless. All-Clad offers a lifetime warrantee but I would have to send in all the pans for evaluation first before I could get replacement pans or any kind of reimbursement and they take 6 weeks to make any determination. That means that I have to spend considerable money shipping the pans (they are heavy), and be without my pans for 1.5 months, so I'd have to invest in some replacement pans as well. I've been buying stainless steel All-Clad one pan at a time instead and I absolutely love those pans. Just stay away from the non-stick!Date published: 2013-07-29Rated 5 out of 5 by BarbaraVS from Excellent purchase! I needed a non-stick set that was try-ply (or something similar for even heat distribution). I came across this All-Clad set at WS (that was actually 5-ply) and looked really nice. Decided to give it a try and couldn't be more pleased with its performance. The lids have a tight fit that keeps the moist in the pan while cooking - so your food is always tasty and juicy. Cleaning is a breeze (I hand wash them and it is REALLY easy) and they're not too heavy. The handles never get too hot (just a little warm) and the pan holds its temperature for a little while, which is great if you leave your food in the pan instead of placing it on a serving dish, your second and third servings will still be warm. Definitely recommend it.Date published: 2013-02-17Rated 5 out of 5 by houself from my first cookware set and my last! I received this set as a wedding gift and I love them! First of all they are beautiful hanging in our kitchen. They are nice and heavy (not too heavy for me anyways). The handles are extra long and that is so nice! The handles do not get hot and I love the unique look of them. Also the handles and lids are engineered to fit together for storage. That is a nice touch. They heat so well and evenly. I really enjoy cooking with them. These are the first pans that I can call my own and I think I will have them forever!Date published: 2012-07-24

Any problem with using unplaned 1" thick bandsawn white pine for hive bodies and
and other wooden ware ?
Any problem with using unplaned 1" thick bandsawn white pine for hive bodies and
and other wooden ware ?
Not as long as it is properly dried so it doesn't shrink on you after assembly. If you are not sure, stack and sticker it in a barn loft for 12 months before you use it.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
Unplaned lumber is not a problem as long as you make sure that the interior dimensions of your hive bodies match existing standards.
But, if the"unplaned" lumber is also "not dried", then a different set of issues arise. Lumber that is not kiln dried or not air dried will shrink as it dries to equilibrium moisture, and hive bodies will likely not be the same dimensions after the lumber dries.
Make sure you know what you are buying before you invest!
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
Its my own lumber harvested and cut about 6 years ago, was covered and stickered a few years before
i had a chance to bring it into the barn.
Couldn't really see the extra bother of planing the stuff if its not necessary even though
i do have a planer.
I made up a hive stand and outer cover today with it using my store bought hive
for inside dimension.
I think in the future i will make my own hives out of bandsawn pine. Rustic !
Thanks for the input
I just moved my unplaned fir from the barn to the wood shop however I think I am going to plane mine
One benefit of not planing it down is that every mm you don't shave off also doesn't knockoff R value.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
As was stated earlier, the interior dimensions are important in a bee hive. Proper "bee space" most be maintained or they either will fill it with bur comb or not have room to travel in the hive.
The problem that you may find with unplaned lumber is not that it is thicker than planed lumber, but that it is not consistent. The thickness of each individual board may vary along the length of the board. If you can work with that, you will be okay. You may want to consider planing one side just to get consistent thickness.
I have to ask this: what does "stickering" lumber mean?
Note that the stickers here are lined up, and directly over support blocks. This allows uniform air circulation and keeps the boards as straight as possible.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
The other reason for planing the lumber (and jointing it flat, for that matter) is that it ALWAYS changes shape as it dries. Shrinks more along the grain than across it, so board cup when "flat sawn" an shrink across the length when quarter sawn. It's hard to build good boxes out of cupped lumber, to say nothing of twisted or warped.
I'd plane at least one side flat, both sides is better, to get it flat. You don't need to do more than that, and if you run the whole stack through each time you change the planer settings, you will have uniform thickness within the capability of your planer. Surface texture won't make any difference, but a quarter inch gap in the middle of the corners will!
Peter, who had planed an amazing amount of lumber for a PhD botanist!
Unplaned poplar stacked and stickered for 18 months covered outside. I paint the end grain to minimize splitting. Like Bluegrass, I like the added R factor, bees don't seem to mind mill surface. I use lap joints, Tightbond II and 16-1 5/8 drywall screws. I use all mediums, I pay $250. For 200 1x8x72 boards which is just right for a box with a minimal amount of scrap. I started building these 3 years ago and so far haven't had any problems.
Band sawn lumber should be uniform thickness even when rough sawn. If it isn't it means you need a new Sawyer. Because the one you have is either in a hurry or doesn't know what he is doing.
I did a large sawing job for a tree service several years ago (30 TBF). The tree service hired me and then about half way through got a second guy to come in and set up beside me in order to get the job done faster. The second guy was flying through the logs and I had other jobs I could be doing so I packed up and moved on. About a year later the tree guy called me back to do another job because all the stuff the second guy milled was wavy and inconsistent..... He told the tree guy that that was normal for rough sawn, but then when they looked at the stacks I had milled everything was straight and uniform...
The difference was he was paying me by the hr and I later found out he was paying the other guy by the BF. In the end he hadn't saved any money because he ended up with a bunch of wood that he had to pay to be planed on all 4 sides.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.
Perhaps it should be.
Talk with anyone who has planed any amount of rough lumber and I am guessing that they will tell you that it isn't.
I plane my lumber with several shallow passes. Seldom does the first pass take off the same amount for the length of the board. Usually there are sections along the length of the board that need more than one pass.
Some sawyers are better than others, but asking for uniform rough lumber every time is asking for a lot.
See a lot of knowledge about bandsawn lumber here and
agree that even the best sawyer will end up with a untrue piece of lumber on occasion .
Have a cull pile for that, not very big at all but anyone who has planed much lumber can usually see (eyeball)
before making the 1st pass if its an oddball.
Seems the last board cut from a log is usually where any thickness variation end up from end to end.
And dry wood can cup, the wider it is the more it can cup.
Was curious most about the texture but if they hive up in a hollowed out tree than
texture shouldn't be much of a problem.
Not going to be a problem finding flat and true 7" wide roughsawn boards for medium boxes.
Have 3 thousand BF to choose from
Thanks for all the pointers
The bees have no trouble with the texture that I have seen.
I have several boxes I built from unplaned poplar. I did make sure all interior dimensions were to plans. I used lap joints and Gorilla Glue and screwed them together with deck screws. I caulked all cracks and gave them two coats of latex paint. My bees seem fine in them and I have 100% survival of my hives so far this winter.
The lumber was cut on my farm so it was cheap, just the cost of sawing, .20 bd. ft.. I'm not sure I would use it if it wasn't cheap.
it is not just the sawer. i have seen a couple of mills that were so poor a setup and worn out that they would not cut straight. it was simple to cure, i walked away.
Other issues include poorly sharpened and set bands
Dull bands
de-tempered bands.
Sawyer in a hurry.
Dirty logs.
Foreign objects in logs.
Log movement due to not sawing to grain or off centered pith.
I am sure other factors can contribute as well, but a good sawyer knows how to fix most of them and culled boards should be few and far between... I always turned them into stickers.
Always question Conventional Wisdom.

Hair Care Picks from the Camille La Vie Office!
At Camille La Vie everyone is very in tune with the freshest fashions and have a huge love for fabulous chic style. Of course our favorite fashions are our own dresses and accessories, however, there are so many more ways to show off your beauty from hairstyles, to nail art, to new makeup trends. Our passion for fashion has created some office Fashionistas that are always willing to share their newfound beauty products, tips, and tricks to the rest of the office and now we want to share with YOU! One way to change up your look completely everyday is to try different hairstyles. We've asked some of the office Fashionistas what their favorite looks are when it comes to summer hairstyles, then we also asked which hair product they use that they absolutely cant live without!
Jessica D's response:
1.Natural Curls & Big Sexy Hair Products ($17) "I really love when girls keep their hair very natural looking in the summer, there's no need to fight the heat by trying to keep naturally curly hair straight in hot weather. To keep my curls under control I do use many different products but my favorite has to be my huge spray bottle of Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Hairspray. It keeps my natural curls intact without it looking wet or heavy, I Love it!"
Aggie's response:
2.Long Beachy Hair & MoroccanOil ($43) "Summer is all about the beach, pools, and vacations and I like hair the best when it has more of a natural wave and its long and flowing. Whether it's real beach hair or recreated with a curling iron, long luscious wavy hair is so beautiful. This type of look can be hard to do sometimes in heat and that's why I Love MoroccanOil. It helps keep frizz away while making my hair so soft and smooth and it smells great too! I can't do my hair in the morning without it!"
Valerie's response:
3.Sleek Pony & Prive Shampoo and Conditioner ($53) "I'm thinking more elegant night out on the town summer hair but I really love sleek ponytail hairstyles, especially when a band of hair is wrapped around the ponytail holder I think its looks so polished. A hair care product line that I absolutely love and recommend is Prive. This company is all organic and it smells so great! I really love the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Hairspray. In fact, I always carry the hairspray in my purse to work, you never know when you will need it, and the best part is the bottles and cans allow you to use every last drop, there's no throwing out good hair products."
Katrina's response:
4.Intricate Braids & Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Leave in Conditioner ($3) "My favorite summer hairstyle look would have to be braided hair. I'm fascinated by intricate braids simply because it really takes talent and honestly, I'm really not sure I could do half of the things I see in pictures to myself, but I think its so cool! I stick to simple braids but it looks so cute in up-do looks or when your hair is down. My favorite hair product would have to be the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Leave in Conditioner. I use most of the Aussie products because I have really curly hair but this conditioner leaves even my hair so smooth and tangle free, I'm hooked! The Aussie products are also cheaper too but even so they really work great."
Jessica J's response:
5.Pin Straight Hair & Frederic Fekkai Technician Color Care Shampoo ($39) "I love to see girls with pin-straight hair and I love to have mine straight too even in the summer, the flat iron is my best friend. I think it looks very chic and it always goes nicely with a multitude of outfits. My personal favorite hair care product that I need in my arsenal is definitely Frederic Fekkai's Technician Color Care Shampoo because I do color my hair and it makes my hair so soft while being very gentle on my color. It helps keep it shiny and beautiful for a longer amount of time, its fantastic."

Tesseract-ocr: convert scanned images into editable documents on Linux
Tesseract-ocr: how to convert scanned documents into editable text on Ubuntu or Debian, Original article by Gabriele published on Gmstyle (italian blog)
I learned from the requests come via email, that some of my readers use Ubuntu (or Linux in general) to work and deal with graphics and publishing, who for his profession and who as a hobby. I draw inspiration from the request of a dear member of this little web space, which has given to me the input for this article, to make a bit of clarity about a subject that,for what I've saw around during my research on the Internet, seems to have created some difficulties for many people.
The argument i'm talking about is the OCR technology (Optical Character Recognition), that is a "technology " that can recognize text characters from an image of paper documents previously digitized through the scanner and then transform this into an editable text. Continue reading »

Well this is escalating quickly.
Mood: WOOF!
I prefer a AB to ball carry over a healthy BJ anyday.
AB can pound it hard, where a BJ is more of a dancer (at least this past season) and just beats around the bush.
Some folks here have issues with moving on from love affairs.
I liked Jacobs as much as the next guy, but lets face reality, the negative threads far outweighed the positive threads by the time the Giants said goodbye.

Cold weather causes slow Memorial Day weekend for pools
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The colder temperatures may have put a damper on some of your Memorial Day weekend plans -- pools had a lower turnout than usual during the holiday.
It was a big weekend for the Kingsport Aquatic Center Saturday: they finally opened the gates to their new outdoor water park. "There's so much excitement about this facility. People have been calling all week wondering when our opening time is," said Kingsport Aquatic Center Director, Kari Matheney.
However, colder temperatures rolled in just in time for the opening day. Matheney says regardless of how cold the water is, people are determined to enjoy this holiday weekend. "We have people already in the lazy river, people are coming in checking out the facility, and getting the lounge chairs set up to enjoy some sunshine," said Matheney.
In Bristol, Virginia at the YMCA pool, they are seeing quite a few open chairs too, something that's unusual for this time of year. "A holiday weekend is usually pretty good but with 40 degree weather at night that means the water is going to be really cold," said John Mack with the Bristol YMCA.
There are a few brave people who say they don't care how cold it is. "It's really fun no matter what. Yes, the water is cold, but it's still amazing to play outside," said Faith Ayers.
"The water isn't really that bad when we first got in. It was a little cold but after that you got used to it. The lazy river was wonderful, so it really wasn't that bad at all," said Lesley Christian.
Even though the turnout poolside hasn't been as busy, workers at both facilities say there will be a lot of warm days ahead. "We've got all summer," said Matheney.
"As the water warms up and as the temperatures warm up it'll be full," said Mack.
Everyone we spoke with agrees no matter the temperatures outside, it's a great time to spend time with your family.
Mack says they expected the turnout to be low because of the weather, and they were pleased with activity over Memorial Day weekend.

TBI investigating officer-involved shooting
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - UPDATE 11:16 a.m.: The man who was shot has been identified as Roger David Street.
The following is a press release from the TBI about the incident.
"The TBI was requested to investigate an officer-involved shooting that occurred [Sunday] in Sullivan County involving one subject and three SCSO deputies.
Deputies were responding to a report of an injury accident on Egypt Road in Bluff City. When officers arrived they attempted to arrest the subject, Roger David Street (DOB 7/13/55) of Bluff City, for a revoked license and possession of a weapon.
Street refused to exit his vehicle and fled at a high rate of speed toward officers, hitting two with his car. Three deputies opened fire and shot Street.
Street was transported to an Bristol Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. East Tennessee Forensic Center will perform an autopsy.
TBI is currently investigating the circumstances leading up to the shooting and will turn the case file over to the District Attorney for review when completed. TBI does not release the names of officers involved in shootings."
UPDATE 8-19-2013: The man involved in the shooting has died. We'll have more information as it's available this morning.
TBI agents are investigating an officer-involved shooting with a Sullivan County deputy and a Bluff City police officer.
According to the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office, around 6:30 Sunday evening a deputy was investigating an accident on Egypt Road.
The driver of the car was still revving his engine and officers asked him to get out. The driver refused then backed up, pinning the deputy between two cars and also injuring a Bluff City officer.
That's when they opened fire, hitting the driver.
We're told the deputy and the officer are okay.
Deputies aren't releasing the names of the driver or the officer's names. The driver was taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
The TBI and the Tennessee Highway Patrol are handling the investigation.

Actually I like a thick chili and I am always adding that mexican flour stuff or just plain flour in my mix so it will be thick. My DH does not really care for it as thick as I do so sometimes I use those big big cans of tomato juice and because the rotel is sometimes too hot, I just use Hunts diced tomatoes. And we DO NOT like beans in our chili.
My favorite packaged chilli mix is Williams Chilli Mix. I add a little sugar to this and I'm off and running. We use 80%/20% ground meat (chuck). This is browned with a lot of onions and garlic. The fat is drained off after we've gotten it browned. I think that using the tomato juice and diced tomatoes with out adding anything to thicken will yield a good soupy chili.
I was introduced to Williams Chili Mix by a co-worker years and years ago and thought it was the best chili I had ever eaten. At the beginning of Winter she and her son made up LARGE batches and put it up in the freezer. She had one of those HUGH roasting pans and she cooked her chili in the oven. I think this eliminated the need to watch it really close.

King for a day, ...or for a week actually.
Trip Start Oct 06, 2004
324Trip End Ongoing
Turned out the place was posher than posh, and I must admit I felt a bit stupid wearing the same old jeans on the 8th day, ...but who cares. At least these snobs won't notice, unless I maybe surprise and scare the shit out of them by blocking their perfect mirror image. Here's Johnny!!! In fact Magali told me that about every other guest at the resort was some Latin American hotshot model, designer, actor/actress, producer etc
Unfortunately we were not too lucky with the weather during our eight days stay, it was a mix of sun, clouds and rain (with a slight emphasis on rain). But we had a great time no matter what, with lots of good food and drinks. And would you believe it, we even went out on the town drinking and dancing a few nights ;-) The relatively little time we got on the beach, we mostly spent on Mantra beach, our hotels own personal beach that also happens to be one of the most popular in Punta del Este (La Barra neighborhood). There's a couple of hundred meters walk from the hotel and down to the beach, so we just took the golf cart of course. Travel with style is all I can say...
All in all a very different experience from when my brother and I went to Punta del Este mid-week in December. Back then the place was more of a ghost town with mostly retired people around. Now however the place was heaving with fashionable Latin American tourists and their fat wallets. Hence we fitted right in (maybe except for the lack of plastic surgery and a few thousand other (almost) negligible things)...
