What is pancrelipase (Zenpep)?
Pancrelipase is a combination of three enzymes (proteins): lipase, protease, and amylase. These enzymes are normally produced by the pancreas and are important in the digestion of fats, proteins, and sugars.
Pancrelipase is used to replace these enzymes when the body does not have enough of its own. Certain medical conditions can cause this lack of enzymes, including cystic fibrosis, chronic inflammation of the pancreas, or blockage of the pancreatic ducts.
Pancrelipase may also be used following surgical removal of the pancreas.
Pancrelipase may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of pancrelipase?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have severe or unusual stomach pain. This could be a symptom of a rare but serious bowel disorder.
Less serious side effects may include:
- nausea or vomiting;
- mild stomach pain or upset;
- diarrhea or constipation;
- bloating or gas;
- greasy stools;
- rectal irritation;
- headache, dizziness;
- cough; or
- weight loss.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Zenpep (pancrelipase delayed release capsules) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about pancrelipase?
You should not take pancrelipase if you are allergic to pork proteins.
Before taking pancrelipase, tell your doctor if you have gout, kidney disease, a history of intestinal blockage, a sudden onset of pancreatitis, or worsening of chronic pancreatic disease.
Use pancrelipase regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Do not hold the tablets or capsule contents in your mouth. The medication may irritate the inside of your mouth.
Do not inhale the powder from a pancrelipase capsule, or allow it to touch your skin. It may cause irritation, especially to your nose and lungs.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, skip the missed dose and wait until your next scheduled dose to take the medicine. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

text: I just bought a 2007 Chevy 2500HD regular cab after driving Fords for years. First thing my wife asked me was "How much is a locking tonneau cover?"....did I marry up or what? LOL! Anyway, I bought the truck because I wanted something with a heavy duty frame and running gear so it will last me a long time AND be survivable in a crash. After walking away from 2 crashes in which both vehicles were totaled I figured I'd pay a little more for gas and just run over the other guy...... Anyway, I went online looking for info on the truck before I bought it and came across this forum, liked what I saw, and joined up. I'm a social media manager for a large telecom and also a reserve police officer. As I have some pics I'll add them and fiddle with my profile this evening. Thanks for letting me join!

A new mission for veterans — disaster relief
After fighting overseas, 92 percent of American veterans say they want to continue their service. Meanwhile, one after another, natural disasters continue to wreak havoc worldwide. What do these two challenges have in common? In telling the story of his friend Clay Hunt, Jake Wood from Team Rubicon reveals how veterans can contribute to disaster response — and regain their sense of purpose, community and self-worth.

DI. Retirement PoliciesPHILOSOPHY
South Plains College recognizes that older employees have made their contributions to the college and the community, many of which have been significant. With continued good health and active mental abilities, most of them can continue to contribute to the college. The college desires all employees to reach retirement with dignity and make retirement a planned process rather than an abrupt event.
The college further recognizes that some employees should retire at an earlier age than others because of health difficulties. Others remain active, both mentally and physically, until late in life. Because of these variable factors the college reserves the right to request immediate retirement, at any age, of an employee where it becomes evident that continued employment, because of health factors is not in the best interest of the college. Generally, however, the college does not recognize that an employee's mental and physical fitness can be predetermined by age.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF RETIREMENTGenerally retirement should commence at the end of the employee's contract year. For twelve-month full-time employees this is June 30, for nine and ten month faculty it is at the end of their contract. The rationale for this is that the full final year of employment would be computed into the final retirement benefits.

i applaud the fact that demarcus and his wife can share such a miracle. good for him, least hated cowboy for me anyway.
Demarcus Ware is a class act and has been. Do not misintepret his competitive spirit and open-faced hostility towards our Giants as who he really is.
I remember watching an E60 one day and having respect for he and his wife as they were sharing their woes with respect to child-bearing / raising...
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
Hate on the jerseys rather than the people who wear them. Unless they're 24/7 ****s, of course
His first child was still born, and they found out BEFORE the baby was even born. I could not imagine the pain that him and (especially) his wife must have felt knowing that they had to go to the hospital to deliver a child that they would not get to bring home.
And to any of the idiots who said "so what he's a cowboy and he has millions of dollars what does he have to complain about" -- You are the filth of the earth. Or hopefully just too young and immature to actually understand what's important in life.

Address: 460 Lake Rd, Takapuna, Auckland
We came here because we'd heard only good things about this small Kokako cafe. We were even more curious when we had trouble locating it.
Parking was available for only 30 minutes on the main street so we found a two-hour pay and display in a nearby street.
We walked in and immediately thought the interior was cool yet serene with vintage chairs, distressed walls and industrial light fittings. They've worked wonders in the narrow space.
The most unusual thing on the menu is the Osaka rosti - an okonomiyaki-style potato rosti served with hollandaise, fried egg and mayonnaise ($16) from the lunch menu, which I would have ordered except it wasn't available until later. The brunch menu is pretty simple.
We ordered the mixed herby beans on toasted sourdough with chorizo ($12); and the eggs benedict with low-fat tahini hollandaise sauce ($15). Both dishes were tasty and rustic, the bene particularly good with its fantastic butter-free hollandaise.
The waitress explained they'd almost run out of herby beans, so Lucy opted to top up her dish with mushrooms (a little bland). We took home an organic apple and date muffin and a massive slice of gluten-free lemon cake. Neither were particularly sweet, which worked for the muffin but not so for the zest-flavoured cake.
The coffee was satisfying, with a good head of froth on my soy latte. They also make an intriguing sounding ginger latte.
The service was a little reticent but it was the first day for one of the staff.
We recommend if you come here spread out by the window if you can, or grab the single table out the back, which also gets the sun.
Overall we thought Mimosa has an inviting atmosphere but it would be great to see more of the Japanese influence in the brunch menu.

Edwards Lifesciences Up 6% After Share Repurchase, Insider Buying Announced
Shares of Edwards Lifesciences (EW) are among the biggest gainers on the Standard & Poor's 500 index today, boosted after the company announced a $750 million share buyback program. It also said that CEO Michael Mussallem will buy $5 million worth of Edwards stock.
"The Board of Directors' authorization of the new share repurchase program reaffirms our belief in Edwards' long-term growth potential, and provides us with an opportunity to continue returning value to shareholders," said Mussallem. "On an individual basis, I'm making this increased investment in Edwards to demonstrate my confidence in the future growth of the company and its continuing ability to aggressively develop innovative products and extend its leadership positions."
As Leerink Swann analysts wrote in a note following the announcement:
To us, these events signal a vote of confidence – by both the Board and CEO Mussallem – in EW's long-term outlook despite the slower-than-expected U.S. Sapien launch. Still, EW remains a bit of a "show me" story after two quarterly misses amidst a major new product launch and now seemingly lower visibility into quarterly results despite our positive outlook on the TAVR market potential longer-term. That said, our recent April and November MEDACorp surveys forecast strong patient growth and MEDACorp physician conversations suggest that end user U.S. Sapien demand remains strong. And with valuation now rebased – shares are trading at sub-20x P/E on 2014 EPS estimates vs. highs near 30x – current levels may represent an attractive entry point for longer-term investors. We remain Outperform rated as we continue to assess the viability of this long-term market opportunity and reiterate our $85 12-month valuation.
At the latest, the stock is up 6% to $71.40. Even after today's move, Edwards is still down 21% in 2013.

Boston is in the thrall of two important media stories. The first concerns efforts by the financially challenged New York Times Company to keep the financially battered Boston Globe afloat.
The second story, by contrast, appears to be smaller potatoes: right-wing loud mouth Jay Severin, in a broadcast more obnoxious than usual, said things on air that forced his traditionally indulgent corporate enablers at WTKK to suspend him — though, as the Phoenix went to press, the question of for how long remained unanswered.
The fate of the Globe is of historic importance. But the questions raised by the Severin incident have a philosophical and moral resonance that has been touched upon only in passing.
Severin got himself in hot water for speaking derisively about Mexicans, who he said were "the world's lowest of primitives." Even by Severin's odious standards, this was especially ripe.
In the course of his jeremiad against Mexicans, Severin raged widely. As far as the Phoenix is concerned, the most reprehensible of Severin's many loathsome remarks was this: "So now, in addition to venereal disease and the other leading exports of Mexico — women with mustaches and VD — now we have swine flu."
He also said this: "We [the US] are the magnet for primitives around the world — and it's not the primitives' fault, by the way, I'm not blaming them for being primitives. I'm merely observing they're primitive."
And this: "Millions of leeches from a primitive country come here to leech off you and, with it, they are ruining the schools, the hospitals, and a lot of life in America."
And this: "We should be, if anything, surprised that Mexico has not visited upon us poxes of more various and serious types already, considering the number of 'criminaliens' already here."
This is strong, and offensive, stuff. Even in the midst of a serious debate about the future of United State's immigration policy — an important topic in which emotions sometime run hot — it is, or should be, unacceptable.
Severin was being more than an advocate for his anti-immigrant point of view, more than provocative, more than even incendiary. In our opinion, he was being hateful, trying to deny the basic humanity of Mexicans so as to render them unworthy of being afforded rights.
Hate speech may give offense to some; it might be impolite, even impolitic, but it is not illegal. The Phoenix is close to being absolute in its defense of anyone's right to say, write, or broadcast almost anything. This paper affirms Severin's constitutional right to say what he said. Likewise, we recognize WTKK's right to broadcast Severin if the station so wishes.
Still, WTKK should think twice about putting Severin back on the air. Does Severin's right to hold noxious opinions, and his parallel right to express them using intemperate language, override the station's right to hold itself to a higher standard?
If WTKK thinks about the situation with any depth of conscience, it might realize that, though it profits handsomely from Severin, his on-air presence does nothing to enrich or elevate public debate.
Should WTKK management have any doubts on this matter, we suggest it compare Severin's remarks about Mexicans with what Adolf Hitler wrote about Jews in Mein Kampf.

It was a late Friday night/ early Saturday morning. My — then — pal Andrew was having a bad evening, which was turning into a bad early Saturday morning. He was complaining about it on Twitter. Then he said, "Screw this! Jules, tell me which episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation to watch!" I replied with, "OOO! Watch The Measure of a Man! But, hold on! I'll watch it with you!" And that was the first step in the progression of our relationship going from close pals, to friends, to preparing to get married.
For the next few nights, after we were both done our work for the day, and much to the possible annoyance of our mutual followers, we would together watch and discuss Star Trek: The Next Generation, via Twitter. Soon, we realized this was probably annoying to our mutual followers, and decided to move the nightly viewing and discussions to Skype.
It was during these discussions that we quickly got to really know each other. It lead to in-depth discussions — some lasting close to 14 hours — about politics, religion, ethics, morality, humanity, human rights, and so much more. We would often comment to each other about just how fascinating we found it that we didn't find out conversations to be mentally taxing. Both of us are extremely introverted. Normally, we have more than enough socializing after 30 minutes with someone. At the 30 minute mark is when we become so over it. But here we were, up until a ridiculous time in the morning, discussing all possible subjects, never becoming mentally tired and emotionally drained.
Watching Star Trek: The Next Generation also helped him to better understand how I function, as I'm a Spock/ Data/ Doctor Spencer Reid/ Doctor Sheldon Cooper hybrid. Some of his greatest understand about who I am comes from seeing how Data interacts with humans. But even more importantly, it led to many discussions about me being a trans man; something of which he was already well aware. However, watching the episodes The Host and The Outcast made it safe for him to really ask me questions about it, without his welcomed curiosity seeming to come out of nowhere.

Bend councilors pick Clinton as new mayor
Barram, Capell withdraw nomination before vote
BEND, Ore. - The vote for Bend's next mayor took a surprising turn Wednesday night at the packed city council meeting. Two of the three city councilors withdrew their names.
"If being mayor is what you really want, and I believe that it is, then I want that for you" Mayor Pro Tem Jodie Barram told colleague Jim Clinton. "So I am withdrawing myself from consideration as mayor."
"I also will withdraw as candidate for mayor," said Councilor Mark Capell
The announcements came as a surprise not only to people in the room but family members of those in the race.
"I didn't even look out into the audience," said Barram. "My husband didn't even know I was going to do that."
That left Clinton running unopposed and elected mayor by unanimous vote.
Next on the agenda, figuring out who would be his second in command, mayor pro tem. The two people nominated, the same two who withdrew from the mayor's race.
"I would fight for this," said Barram. "I know I bring a unique voice to this council."
"Spend an afternoon with Mark Capell downtown," said newly sworn in Councilor Victor Chudowski. "You get the impression that there is not a single person in the city of Bend that Mark doesn't know. I really think that speaks for something and I support him for pro tem."
The race came down to a 4-3 vote, appointing Barram to the post.
The newly sworn in councilors -- Chudowski, Sally Russell and Doug Knight -- each told the council they enter their term with an open mind and are ready to work together for the people of Bend. Clinton also was sworn in, re-elected to a new term last fall.
Capell told them he is hoping the new members won't be as "boring" as the last council. He urged them to have the same passion and fire he does to move Bend forward.
And there are big issues ahead, from a huge sewer project to that controversial water project and the future of Mirror Pond, not to mention the other budget choices that always prove challenging.

Conjugated Estrogens-Bazedoxifene Combination Reduces Postmenopausal Bone Loss »
"NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The combination of conjugated estrogens with bazedoxifene (CE/BZA) significantly improves bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover, according to pooled results from the SMART-1 and SMART-5 trials.

(estradiol) Vaginal Ring
Adequate diagnostic measures, including endometrial sampling when indicated, should be undertaken to rule out malignancy in all cases of undiagnosed persistent or recurring abnormal vaginal bleeding. (See WARNINGS, Malignant neoplasms, Endometrial cancer.)
Estrogens with or without progestins should not be used for the prevention of cardiovascular disease or dementia. (See Clinical Studies and WARNINGS, Cardiovascular disorders and Dementia.)
The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) estrogen alone substudy reported increased risks of stroke and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age) during 6.8 years and 7.1 years, respectively, of treatment with daily oral conjugated estrogens (CE 0.625 mg) relative to placebo. (See Clinical Studies and WARNINGS, Cardiovascular disorders.)
The estrogen plus progestin WHI substudy reported increased risks of myocardial infarction, stroke, invasive breast cancer, pulmonary emboli, and DVT in postmenopausal women (50 to 79 years of age) during 5.6 years of treatment with daily oral CE 0.625 mg combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA 2.5 mg), relative to placebo. (See Clinical Studies and WARNINGS, Cardiovascular disorders and Malignant neoplasms, Breast cancer.)
The Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), a substudy of the WHI, reported increased risk of developing probable dementia in postmenopausal women 65 years of age or older during 5.2 years of treatment with daily CE 0.625 mg alone and during 4 years of treatment with daily CE 0.625 mg combined with MPA 2.5 mg, relative to placebo. It is unknown whether this finding applies to younger postmenopausal women. (See Clinical Studies and WARNINGS, Dementia and PRECAUTIONS, Geriatric Use.)
In the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be similar for other doses of CE and MPA and other combinations and dosage forms of estrogens and progestins. Because of these risks, estrogens with or without progestins should be prescribed at the lowest effective doses and for the shortest duration consistent with treatment goals and risks for the individual woman.
ESTRING® (estradiol vaginal ring) is a slightly opaque ring with a whitish core containing a drug reservoir of 2 mg estradiol. Estradiol, silicone polymers and barium sulfate are combined to form the ring. When placed in the vagina, ESTRING releases estradiol, approximately 7.5 mcg per 24 hours, in a consistent stable manner over 90 days. ESTRING (estradiol vaginal ring) has the following dimensions: outer diameter 55 mm; cross-sectional diameter 9 mm; core diameter 2 mm. One ESTRING (estradiol vaginal ring) should be inserted into the upper third of the vaginal vault, to be worn continuously for three months.
Estradiol is chemically described as estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17β-diol. The molecular formula of estradiol is C18H24O2 and the structural formula is:
The molecular weight of estradiol is 272.39.
What are the precautions when taking estradiol vaginal ring (Estring)?
Before using estradiol, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: vaginal bleeding of unknown cause, certain cancers (such as breast cancer, cancer of the uterus/ovaries), blood clots, stroke, heart disease (such as heart attack), liver disease, kidney disease, family medical history (especially breast lumps, cancer, blood clots, angioedema), blood clotting disorders (such as protein C or protein S deficiency), high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol/triglyceride levels, obesity,...

advice for collecting sap as a hobby
Advice for collecting
sap as a hobby
• Start small.
• Only tap trees in good wood, not near cracks.
• Try tapping near black bark, as it seems to run faster there.
• Boil most of the moisture out of your sap outdoors, as the moisture can damage wallpaper and other wall coverings.
• Never carry sap farther into the woods. When harvesting, start with the trees farthest from your vehicle and carry containers out. The distance gets shorter with every tree.

Canadian October home sales dip, latest sign of cooling
By Andrea Hopkins
TORONTO (Reuters) - Sales of existing homes in Canada fell in October from September and year-over-year sales were down as well, the Canadian Real Estate Association said on Thursday in the latest signal that the housing market is slowing.
The industry group for Canadian real estate agents said sales were down 0.1 percent in October from September. Actual sales for October, not seasonally adjusted, were down 0.8 percent from a year earlier.
The housing market, which roared higher in 2011 and the first half of 2012, started to slow after the government tightened rules on mortgage lending in July in a bid to cool the market and prevent home buyers from taking on too much debt.
"Housing market trends in Canada for 2012 can be characterized as before and after regulatory changes," TD Economics senior economist Sonya Gulati said in a research note.
"In the first half of the year, sales and price gains were modest, but positive. More stringent mortgage rules and tighter mortgage underwriting rules have 'purposely' knocked the wind out of the housing market sails," she said.
The home sales data showed diverging paths in Canadian housing depending on location. In Toronto and Vancouver, where sales and price gains were red hot in 2011 and early in 2012, the market has been cooling. But markets in the resource-rich western provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta have been gaining strength.
"Opinions differ about how sharply sales have slowed depending on the local housing market," Gregory Klump, CREA's chief economist, said in a statement.
Led by Calgary, sales in October were up from a year earlier in almost two-thirds of local markets. Sales remained blow year-earlier levels in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, CREA said. Continued...

This panel is the "typical" overhead compartment for a small storage, well i never used mine and thought we would put it to some good cool use. We got a piece of 1/4" pexi-glass and cut it to fit inside the compartment. There are also 2 strips of red L.E.D lights behing the panel. With the pexi-glass painted gloss back, with two L.E.D switches. In the night time picture its a little difficult to see but for those of you who are not audio nuts it is the Rockford Fasgate Logo that lights up their signiture red. Let me know what you think, there is still a little touch-up to be done. We are contimplating possibly making more and selling them if there is enough interest. But thats for another discussion.

Mobile & Government Innovations
"The Mobile Web Initiative is important - information must be made seamlessly available on any device."
- Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web
Mobile technology is not only moving people away from desktop computers—mobile devices are also changing how people interact. People increasingly expect to be able to get the information they want, wherever they are, when they need it.
Mobile isn't just another delivery channel or a little computer. Mobile opens up new ways for government to interact with the public. Phones have features such as GPS (global positioning systems), cameras, touch screens, gyroscopes, near-field communications (NFC), and the ability to control other devices—like TV remotes.
These advanced functions allow organizations to rethink services and allow interactions within the users' environment. For instance, consumers can now use smartphones in stores to scan barcodes to comparison shop to find the best deals. Coffee purveyor Starbucks introduced a mobile payment application that was used by 3 million customers in two months.
Mobile devices are not only used to make transactions in consumer markets, they are also being used to innovate services in education and health. The Army is using QR codes—those black and white boxes that look like a maze—so that soldiers can scan and to get training support when they need it, without lugging around manuals.
Mobile allows innovation in government service and information delivery that we could only imagine a few years ago.
- Workers can track and save their wage hours with the Department of Labor's Timesheet.
- People can keep track of their vitamins and other supplements to more easily share this information with their physician using My Dietary Supplements (MyDS) from the National Institutes of Health's Office of Dietary Supplements.
- Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) can help manage the stresses of daily life with the Department of Veterans Affairs' PTSD Coach.
As people increasingly expect information to interact with their environment, government needs to innovate and use more interactive features. Some agencies have already started.
- People can find the nearest post office with U. S. Postal Service Tools when the user enables the app's geo-location feature.
- People can check the quality and speed of their broadband connection with the Federal Communications Commission's Mobile Broadband Test app.
- People with visual impairments can use their phone's camera to scan money and check the denomination of their bills using the Bureau of Engraving's Eyenote.
- Shoppers can scan products in the store to find product-recall information with Product Recalls app.
Other examples are coming soon. Some agencies are experimenting with augmented reality and using it to provide additional information about an exhibit, or even location, by using the phone's camera and a dataset. Others are exploring how the public can add to a dataset by uploading photos or videos from their phones. This is just the beginning of Mobile Gov innovation.

text: It was the 3rd game in 4 nights which had to make this one tough for the guys who have been logging heavy mins. Probably why the defense lagged at times. nice win. My only complaint is the inconsistancy in the calls between halfs. Not calling anything in the 1st half and practically everything down the stretch. Great awarness by Billups to just take it inside on the last play and get the call. With the crap Atl got the play before it was almost a guarantee that CB would get the call. Tough on Sheed to face all these Centers. Shaq then Howard then Horford who was the 3rd pick in the draft. Horford is still rough but very athletic. Have to remind myself as a Piston fan that some teams actually play their top prospects so they will get better and improve the team. MIA for Amir?

Jimmy Mickle is a bio-tech lab assistant, a CU-Boulder graduate who studied chemical and biological engineering, and the winner of this year's Callahan Award – the equivalent of the Heisman Trophy in USA Ultimate terms.
The annual Callahan Award is given to one player in the nation in both the men's and women's league at the college club ultimate Frisbee level. Callahan winners are first nominated by their teammates, then chosen by the Skyd Award Committee. The award recognizes sportsmanship, physical talent and leadership. Mickle, who is from Golden, started playing ultimate while attending Lakewood High School. He joined soccer teammates who played ultimate during their off-season, and when he became more interested in Frisbee than soccer, he stuck with it. This year, the CU men's club MamaBird ultimate team also won the national championship.
"I've always wanted to win, basically, for the program and get the national title," said Mickle. He attributes his main source of motivation as "being competitive and being around other competitive guys." When he got to CU his freshman year, joining MamaBird gave Mickle a sense of community, which he appreciated as a break from class and working at the Engineering Center later on. Ultimate, he said, provided him with a sense of balance.
"You make time for things that matter," said Mickle, noting that school and Frisbee were "kind of the two things." Mickle was the captain of the MamaBird team his junior and senior years, which presented challenges of its own like arranging travel and being held more accountable as a leader. Especially in this role, he said, there were ups and downs between winning and losing, which made "ending on an up really awesome."
Mickle also played for the U.S. National team, the Under 23 team and, currently, he plays for the Colorado club team Johnny Bravo. He plays both positions as handler, someone who does more of the throwing, and receiver. When he started ultimate in 9th grade, Mickle was about 5-foot-2, a hundred pounds and mainly played as a handler.
"As I grew and got bigger and faster and stronger, I started to become more of a receiver," explained Mickle, who's now 6-foot-4. Having the advantage of his past, Mickle is strong in both positions.
Mickle isn't the only "ultimate star" in his family. His twin sister, Christina, is another top CU-Boulder player who played on the CU women's club ultimate team, Kali. She was also a captain and nominated by her teammates for the women's Callahan Award this year. Keeping competition high with her brother, she finished in the top 10.
When it comes to winning the Callahan Award, Mickle said he's most proud of being recognized by his team.
"It's cool to be voted by all your peers as the best player," Mickle said, also mentioning how "it's nice to look back at all the really good players who won the award and be in good company."
In addition to leadership and physical talent, the Callahan Award recognizes players who practice fair sportsmanship – an attribute that's largely at the core of ultimate. Since its beginnings in the late 1960s, pioneers of the sport rejected traditional rule enforcement through assigned officials like a referee. They instead put faith in sportsmanship, allowing the players themselves to call things like a foul play. As Mickle explained, this philosophy is known as the "Spirit of the Game," and when there was disagreement in the past, the play would just have to be re-done. Today, games are accompanied with "observers," or individuals who only make calls when there's disagreement, as well as track time between plays and call "in" versus "out."
"It's a cool part of the sport, and I think it's a good way to try to get younger kids playing," said Mickle. "You can tell parents, 'yeah, part of this sport is that we try to teach sportsmanship and how to be a good opponent.'"
In addition to playing ultimate beyond his time at CU, Mickle sees himself coaching, emphasizing the role of give-and-take in the ultimate community. He taught a number of clinics across the U.S. already, having spent the last two summers on the road with 14 other college all-stars and teaching kids about ultimate. His future in ultimate, though, will be a hobby more than a career.
"I see myself continuing to play," said Mickle. "I don't think it's too sustainable or anything, but I definitely see it being a big part of my life."
The next step for Mickle is gearing up for the World Ultimate Club Championships in Lecco, Italy, this August. He'll be playing for the Colorado team Johnny Bravo, and fans can follow his journey using the Twitter hashtag #MickleMania.
The CU-Boulder Collegiate Sports Club Program includes 31 club sports.

Town Square
Dirty Politics in a Community of Character - Continued
Original post made by foothill parent, Del Prado, on Apr 6, 2009
I need to correct a couple of items in the post today:
1) The reason the district did not bring a parcel tax to the ballot last year was because the polling firm they hired told them a tax would not pass at that time. That greatly disappointed many members of the board but especially Dr. Casey. They were dying to get a parcel tax in the community.
2) Valerie Arkin's list composed mostly of things that would save year after year. There are a few items that would be one time savings but a majority of her items would save money each year, not just the current year as you state.
3) On raises, you are partially correct in that the teachers negotiated for .738% less than COLA. They did not just give this up however. They traded that COLA raise in order to have less teaching time with the students and that money went to science specialists. While I feel that was good for everybody, they didn't just tell the district that they did not want the full COLA offered from the State. The district did make an error, in my opinion, to completely pass along the COLA increases from the State. Part of COLA should really have gone towards the step and column pay increases that the unions negotiated instead of those raises being paid for out of the General Fund. The current policy of paying for step and column out of the general fund and giving all the COLA adjustments directly to the teachers is not sustainable. It eventually catches up with you. Like it has this year. The district also neglected to keep their reserves high. At one point our district did have healthy reserves. Over the last 4 or so years, that reserve has gone down to dangerous territory. While schools are only required to have a 3% reserve, our district previous had much more that that, knowing that 3% would only cover a few weeks of operations.
We can all see that the State budget is a mess. Schools will be affected. So have most of the taxpayers jobs. I could support a parcel tax if the administration were honest about prioritizing the cuts and did the necessary administrative cuts, most have been identified by Valerie Arkins list. I would then give them an "A" for working hard and then I could support them. Hearing a board member say that he is not willing to make administrative cuts unless he gets a committment from the community for more money from a parcel tax feels like extortion to me. Interesting how that board member does not live in this community, would not have to pay the parcel tax, and has two daughters who work for the district and received pink slips; but I digress. This board was elected to give us the best service for the money we give them in taxes. I do not feel they are doing this right now. I went to a budget advisory committee meeting and was taken back. Members of the committee wanted to make suggestions of potential cuts but they were told to only focus on the potential cuts identified by the administrative staff. The staff members in that meeting were not looking for help from the community but rather they were looking for people to agree with them. After the meeting I asked a member of the committee if all the meetings were run that way. He said "sadly, yes."

What you wrote reminded me of some quote from some PUSD person I saw that I should have kept better track of. It was basically about how the District expects to pay for step and column from things like increased enrollment. Need to dig that up...

Schools & Kids,
Your post is very informative.
Do you mean that the Budget Advisory Committee wasn't given a complete budget to work from, but were just given that sheet called Cabinet Identified List of Potential cuts and asked to work from that? Why even have a Budget Advisory committee if they're not given the actual budget?
Why was a board member who doesn't live in Pleasanton and has two daughters working for the school district even allowed to have a vote on whether or not to put a parcel tax measure on the ballot. Shouldn't that board member be required to recuse himself?

If you haven't looked, there's information on PUSD's website about the Budget Advisory Committee. I found that they performed some sort of online survey in order to rank and prioritize possible cuts. They also wrote some entertaining comments. Web Link
There might be an inkling of the answer to your question about what the BAC did exactly in a comment on the survey. It was written by Al Cohen who identified himself as the author in the end of the comment:
"I have found this entire process, even though well meaning, quite confusing. We have prioritized and re-prioritized multiple times in multiple formats. Moreover, it was not clear when we were asked to participate, that rank ordering cuts were the primary function. Our expectations were that we would be engaged in more substantive solutions and become advocates for the overall solution. Given that our recommendations are being processed by the cabinet and then presented to the board, I will withhold judgement on my support for the outcome of this process."
Maybe we need Al Cohen to run against Pat Kernan for Board Trustee.

I couldn't open the web link file - got a message that it was damaged.
If I'm reading between the lines correctly, it doesn't sound as if PUSD wanted the Budget Advisory Committee to do anything. It sounds as if PUSD picked the things they thought should be cut and all they asked the Budget Advisory Committee to do was rank the cuts PUSD already selected. What does that have to do with advising on a budget?
That makes no sense, but from all the things I've been reading, it's just one more thing the School Distict is doing that doesn't make sense to me.
Al Cohen isn't related to anyone who works for the School District is he?

Allow me to digress just a bit further....
A good many years ago I was asked to participate in a district/city transportation committee. Although I had been organizing the parking lot volunteers at my son's elementary school, I was new to the district and therefore quite flattered to have been chosen.
Our "task," as told to us by the district liaison-now retired-was to evaluate the traffic around school sites and come up with possible solutions to the problems we identified. A few of us took the job quite seriously and went from site to site taking notes and then talking to the city traffic engineers about possible changes to signage and road striping to improve circulation and safety.
After about the third meeting we realized that the district and city liaisons were not paying that much attention to our "findings" and were in fact presenting information to the group about all the great things that were already taking place, the laughable "Walk and Bike to School Plan" for one, and some unused carpool matching service for another. Each and every one of our suggestions were pooh-poohed as being improbable or unworkable.
When, at the last scheduled meeting we walked in to find a completed board report sitting on the table without a single bit of "public" input included, we realized we had been duped into participating in a process that was designed to maintain the status quo. I gave up about 9 weeks of family time so the district/city could say they had community input into a process that essentially changed or improved nothing.
What an eye opening experience. I heard from a few members of the "Blue Ribbon" 3rd High School Study Group that a similar process was followed. From the above comments I can't help but believe that the BAC was run in exactly the same manner.
So beware when you hear the term "community input" coming out of some study group. It isn't always the case.

Wow, I could have written the same post about past district committees that I have been on. I have refused the certificate of participation at the end because we were not allowed to do anything.

Hrm, I didn't realize how widespread this experience seems to be. It makes me wonder now if any BAC members looked at the budget themselves and what they found.

We did look at the budget and I also personally reviewed the entire district's budget. There is not much left to cut. 90% of the district expenses are salary and salary related costs. That means people have to be cut to make the $9.7M in ongoing reductions. The "cabinet list of cut" was only the beginning. BAC member comments and suggestions were included in the recommendations. Al's comments were about the process on how we prioritized the reductions, including our recommendations. With any large group (31 people) it a bit confusing at first. The survey was helpful.

Did anyone even look at about the over $10 million dollars in consulting expenses that the District spends every year? Was that even looked at?

Sam please give a link to what you reference.
I have heard from two parent/community BAC members that they were not really given an opportunity to give input. They felt the committee was set up. From the number of district staff that was on the committee each looking out for their own piece of the pie I heard it was not possible to accomplish anything.
Is "BAC Committee Member" a district staff person? Why would you not identify yourself?

Did anyone review the specific cost to hire consultants to determine that PUSD needed its own special election as the tax would likely fail at the general election? Is that not money spent that should have been used more wisely?
Did anyone ask that the car allowances be cut? Did anyone ask that the travel budget be cut? There is enormous waste in the district.

We live with Doglover. We are experts at waste, but that's not what Doglover calls it when she steps in it. She says a bad word and then says "oops, sorry." If there is enormous **bad word** in the district, did someone at least says "oops sorry" and clean it up?

Seattle Interactive Conference Recap
Nov 4, 2011
Over 200 media professionals filled a packed conference room on Wednesday at Seattle Interactive Conference's hour long panel -- Alleviating the Confusion, The Acrimony Around Acronyms. Advertising.com's Doug Boccia joined leaders from AT&T, BlueKai, AdReady, and Audience Science on stage to discuss the complex online advertising ecosystem, terminologies used, and methodologies available to reach the right user.
Conversations around audience targeting, data usage, and performance measurement were followed by best practices for Advertisers on driving successful marketing programs. Quality of data, quality of inventory, and quality of technology all play an important role in a successful campaign. Brand marketers can leverage audience targeting if they have done their research and know their consumers, while direct response marketers may need to weigh the cost of audience data in relation to reaching a target ROI. Find and work with trustworthy media partners who can guide an Advertiser to the best solutions based on their needs.
Each campaign is different, each objective is unique. As more players and technologies enter the online media space, both Advertisers and Publishers need to take the time to understand how each piece fits into this ecosystem, how each works with the other, in order to make the decisions best for their business demands.

"Every day around the world, architects and project developers apply imagination and skill to creating the buildings and living spaces that our children's children will inhabit. But the task of turning inspired design into usable bricks and mortar usually involves tackling many different practical and theoretical problems. These challenges may be as down-to-earth as a tight budget or as spatial as the challenge of global warming. The key, many architects say, is to understand that problems present the opportunity to find creative solutions. For architects, the process of creative problem solving is one that begins during their initial education and continues throughout their entire careers. One thing is certain: very few problems are tackled the same way."Inspiring balance
Judy Taylor, BArch/87, specializes in navigating the problems that arise from trying to balance creative ex?pression with functional design.
As an associate at KPMB Architects, Taylor has helped create award-winning educational and public spaces, such as the library at Queen's University and Kitchener's City Hall.
The nature of her work brings her into tight orbit with many different professionals, from engineers and design consultants to project developers. She says it's the collective energy of these different professionals that makes her job so interesting, and makes for the most creative problem solving.
"Architecture is a collaborative art form that draws on the experience and expertise of all of the individuals involved," Taylor says.
She explains that working on large projects requires a high tolerance for the unexpected. While a project can be exceptionally well planned, the only real certainty, she says, is that difficulties will arise.
"I don't believe any one project can achieve a perfect balance. There are too many factors that are unknown and uncontrollable," she explains.
Taylor says the key is to use these problems as a springboard for innovation.
"Restrictions force resourcefulness and creative thinking to find alternative routes and previously unimagined solutions," she says. "For me, each project creates an opportunity to make a significant contribution to one's pursuit of this balance.""To view the full article, please visit: http://magazine.carleton.ca/2008_Winter/1992.htm

Sea world is really an eye opener for me although its entrance is not as impressive as those of others theme park earlier but it does contain some gut in is body. Apart from the fun theme like Sponge Bob Square Pants and kids riding parks it actually a science gallery plus conservation nursery for dolphin and sea seal and others endanger species such as the polar bear& penguin.
Not far away from the Dinosaurs Discovery Centre was the photo session with Sponge Bob and friends. Photographed by professional and expected to pay professional fees too but the coolest gesture will get a free photo at the photo lab and lucky me, I got it all free!
There's also interactive session with the wild animal where we can touch them and have a close encounter with those animals. Well, others activities do come with a price tag and it's not cheap for a budget traveller like me. Helicopter ride would easy burn my wallet with starting price of $69 for 5minutes! Whales watching, shark feeding and close encounter with penguin is in the price list too. Nothing offensive or pessimistic about the activity but it would have not much different than watching them from the glass except for the helicopter things.
There's also a single direction monorail that bring you around the theme park. So catching their jumping schedule is not a problem. The theme park is big and schedule of activity is jumping from one point to another so if you would to see all shows I think monorail is essential to catch everything without draining your energy on your feet.
Having a picnic lunch while watching the jet stunt is enjoyable except for the disruptive sea gulls that try to get a piece of my lunch. Lay down on the grassland watching children playing around and thought someday I'll have my own kids here with Yuri by my side, how nice if dream of such would have come through
All show are done its time for souvenir again. I brought a Sponge Bob Tower for Jolie so if I'm not around she would still massage her body every time after bath with the tower as though I'm massaging for her…hahaha..
I do not know Jolie in person but I think it will be fun having her with me in the theme park. Life is short and there's no point wasting in blaming fault in the past. I just hope she don't mingle with my parents and brother and stop her extremism and lavish spending. A simple life with her and Yuri is what I call Happiness.

I just got my first queen shippment of the year, and the bill as wow!! I was paying $12.75 each last year and the bill I got today was $15.00 each. I've been with this producer for over 16 years. I've tried others producers but haven't found anyone yet with that good of queens. I only get a 2% dronelayer or nonelaying queen with this supplier. What is a guy to do. Each year I need more and more queens and year the price keeps jumping up. Where do I go to get good queens for a reasonable price.
Or should I just forget it and suck it up.
Is this the way business is ran. The producer place the price on the product and the buyer pays it. Well, if this is so the packer better watch out next spring.
Well another day another $1000 spent. Tomorrow has to be better. What good is money if you don't spend it.

Sounds like a fun venture in interchangability.
If you can fold your own receiver with extra length, then more power to you.
My initial impression on using 8mm in a stamped config, was that it had to be
the 1.6mm thickness.
I picked up a ColdSteel heavy yugo blank with extra length and converted a
Romy RPK kit into an 8mm rig. The recoil did hammer the rear trunnion loose
from the rivets. Some rework of rivets and welding the trunnion fast solved the
I found the 80% blank worked well because you can field all your layouts for the specific caliber.
Dimensionally, it is similar to the PSL receiver, because the cartridge lengths
are fairly close. I would not be afraid to convert a PSL receiver to 8mm. I think
the rail lengths are about correct, the magwell would need reworked.
If I remember right, the Mauser chamber threads would need to be turned down
and sleeved to get to the correct width for M70 trunnion. Otherwise, with some
mods, it's doable.
Go with the PSL bolt and carrier. The bolt face would need a sleeve to reduce diameter.
BTW, Green Mountain makes new M76 barrels.
I've tried one, and it's at least as good as the originals, if not better on accuracy.

Detroit Film Theatre
Friday, August 23, 2013
7:00 PM Detroit Film Theatre
(USA/2012—directed by Cindy Kleine)
This portrait of groundbreaking director, actor, and artist André Gregory is a delightful and thoughtful appreciation of one man's life and work. A brilliant and often hilariously funny raconteur, Gregory discusses the making of My Dinner With André (1981), written by and starring Gregory and Wallace Shawn and directed by Louis Malle. He speaks warmly of his lifelong friendship with Shawn (who also collaborated with him on Malle's film of Vanya on 42nd Street and a recent production of Ibsen's The Master Builder), and his problematic relationship with his European parents, describing them as "Jews who forgot to tell their children they were Jews" and who were, he recalls, "like the insane rulers of a little Balkan country." Gregory even adds a dash of film noir as he investigates the possibility that his enigmatic father might have been an economic agent for the Nazis. Above all, the film reaffirms André Gregory as a master storyteller and a national treasure, whose life encompasses compelling passions, fears, and mysteries worthy of his theatrical mentors. (108 min.)
"It's a really wonderful work. Enlightening, moving, and very much a love story." –Martin Scorsese
"Critics' Pick! An indelible, gripping documentary portrait. André Gregory is a spellbinding raconteur." –Stephen Holden, The New York Times
