Henry targets best haul
James Henry has called on Wolves to continue the momentum of the Rotherham fightback and use it as a spur to push on during the Christmas schedule.
The winger, who has also targeted a potential best ever season's scoring haul, notched his fourth in Wolves' colours in providing the sixth and final goal of Saturday's rollercoaster share of the spoils at the New York Stadium.
But what is more important for the ambitious 24-year-old is to ensure that Wolves use the Rotherham comeback as a spur to bounce back to winning ways against Crewe on Boxing Day (3pm).
"It was a crazy game at Rotherham," said Henry.
"We started really well and got in front and switched off straightaway to give a goal away.
"That gave Rotherham a lift and it seemed from there that it took us until 3-1 down to really get back into gear.
"From then there was only one team going to win it in the closing stages and we were probably unlucky not to win.
"We had chances having made it 3-3 and all the way through I don't think there was any point where we weren't in the game.
"Even at 2-1 and 3-1 down I always felt we had a chance and it felt different to MK Dons.
"Sometimes you go away from home and have to grind out results and I think that's what we did in coming back with a point.
"There was a real fighting spirit out there and sometimes a comeback like this can really lift you as a team.
"That's how we need to view the Rotherham result – we need to use it as a platform having stopped the two game losing streak.
"It becomes a great point if we can go on and beat Crewe on Boxing Day and that's what we've got to do to make it really count."
After Crewe then come leaders Leyton Orient at Molineux before trips to Tranmere and Gillingham on January 1 and 3 respectively.
"Every game can be a difficult one but we have to go into every game thinking we can take maximum points and that is what we will be looking for in these next two in front of our home crowd," added Henry.
"With that great support behind us at Molineux it will lift us and then it's up to us to rise to the occasion.
"We've got four games in a very quick amount of time and we've just got to prepare right and take what is a real chance to get some points on the board."
It was a fine goal Henry notched to secure the point at Rotherham, seizing on Dave Edwards' clever pass to advance and hold off a defender before firing home.
The tally of four is now past halfway towards his best ever – seven – trousered during the 2008/09 campaign with Reading and Millwall.
"The defender was pulling me shirt and I was trying to shake him off," he says of Saturday's effort.
"Then I could see another defender to my left and I was waiting for him to come across so I could slide Griff in.
"But he never came and after holding the guy off I just wanted to keep the shot as low as I could.
"It was good to see it go in and I was happy to get another one.
"I think my career best is seven for a season and I'm not too far off that now!
"I've just got to keep doing well and contributing to the team and help us keep pushing forward and keep getting good results."
And pursuit of that aim will be helped by the fact that Henry is now two games in to his return following a groin injury which initially curtailed an excellent first impression of his loan spell from Millwall.
"I was tired in the last few minutes having been out for a while so I think the gaffer just brought me off as a precaution," he added.
"I felt a lot better on Saturday than I did against MK Dons.
"It maybe took me a bit of time to get into the game but I felt I got better as it went on and the more games I play the better I am going to feel."

So, last week's experiment in discussing movies was a resounding success.
Lots of comments, lots of GOOD comments, lots of discussion back and forth, I thought it was great!
But as posts do, that one is slowly slipping into the graveyard that is the "Older Posts" pages, and so, I thought I'd toss out another topic for us all to chime in on this week.
Up this week? What movie quotes do you use?
Everybody has some, or has had some, for sure. A certain situation will come up and you can't help yourself, instead of saying something original, you come out with a movie quote. For me, a good example would be Carl Spackler's (Bill Murray's) "So I got that goin' for me, which is nice" from the end of the pitchfork scene in Caddyshack. You can use it at the end of just about anything you tell people about yourself, and I frequently do. I wish I had a nickel for everytime I've said that over the years.
Lets not make this about finding the "Best Movie Lines Ever" or anything like that. (Well, unless you're Ray. Ray, nothing but Shakespeare allowed from you, man) I'm just curious… you've quoted movies, you know you have! So, let's hear it!
Which movie quotes do YOU use?

BlackRidgeBANK announces $58,000 in funding to homebuyers
BlackRidgeBANK was awarded several grants by the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines, Iowa. The grants are part of FHLB Des Moines Homeownership Fund and Native American Homeownership Fund supporting homeownership opportunities for families and individuals in area communities.
Many hardworking homebuyers who can make a house payment still find themselves unable to purchase a home because they do not have the funds required for upfront costs. Through these programs, these qualified individuals and families receive funds to assist with the down payment, closing cost, counseling or rehabilitation of the property.
By participating in Homeownership Fund programs, BlackRidgeBANK will be able to distribute awards ranging in amounts up to $5,000-$10,000 to each eligible homebuyer.
Funds for the Homeownership programs are available at the locations in Baxter, Nisswa, Crosslake and Schaefer's Foods in Nisswa.
"BlackRidgeBANK is an independent, community-focused bank dedicated to exceptional customer service," said Joel Staehling, president. "We add value to your banking relationship with a personal touch and a common sense approach to banking. We are excited to be able to distribute funds to eligible applicants to enhance their first time home buying experience."
If you are interested in purchasing a home using any of the Homeownership or Native American Fund grants, contact Steve Ennis at 218-833-8510 or Darlene Hardy at 218-833-8512.

Haven't tried a Laser yet. Too much of a tight wad. I have switched the front sight of my M&P to a red Fibre Optic type and realy like it. It jumps right out at me in strong light and is as good as standard in darker conditions. Might go to a Night site but as indicated I am a tight wad.
I simply don't attempt to focus on and line up front, rear and target anymore except when using sandbags to set sights or run accuracy checks. Even then I have to squint and focus best I can on one at a time with the sights being blurry. Using that approach I can still on occasion get sub 1" groups at 15 yds.
I have found that the front sight is the important item when shooting combat mode, even at 15 or 20 yards. At 5 yards sights are not necessary for mansize targets.
I feel if I can tell the target is a valid aiming point at night I can point and hit at distances required within my house.
That doesn't help you select a laser but thought it might give you some food for thought.
Stay safe.

The PITA with this build is the magazine. Those 7.5 machine gun mags are REALLY thin around the feed lips. And I discovered the hard way that the dimensions aren't exact, so I had to number the followers to ensure proper feeding after re-testing the now-mixed followers at the range. Real PITA.
Even worse PITA, after creating the locking lugs on the front with a weld bead, I then had to bend the feed lips by hand so each 7.5mm magazine would feed the smaller 6.5x55 cases properly. NOT a fun exercise. I warned him that if he drops the magazine on the feed lips, the warranty is void :)
He loads 100gr rounds, which are short than the standard 6.5x55 140gr round. The 199gr rounds are short enough that they will work in .308 mags work (but only these short rounds). I opted to make the gun a "true" 6.5x55 caliber so the longer 140gr rounds work as well. In fact heavier bullets will certainly feed as there's enough room in these longer 7.5mm mags. Those longer magazines ensure "any" 6.5x55 round will feed, not just the short ones.
In retrospect, If I build another one, I will examine .30-06 magazines like a BAR magazine or posibly even other longer-cartridge magazines (none come to mind right now). This custom-fit magazine feed lip stuff is NOT something I wish to repeat. Definitely worth every penny for a more spendy magazine that works!

I am not much clearer on what you are trying to do exactly and what
problems there are (other than the problem with a macro button).
It would help to see
1. Examples of precise code you are using.
2. How exactly the length limit of 244 on string variables (not
strings in general) is biting. As you can't have string variables
longer than 244, you can't export them. Presumably you mean something
else, but what is it? It's just possible that David is being bitten by

3. What is the "limit on the number of variables that can be exported
at one time"? Which command is this?
On the general picture, it seems that users collectively use Stata in
combination with just about everything else imaginable, and then some,
so the support needs are indefinite. But StataCorp is actively
extending Excel support -- witness -import excel- and -export excel-.
I suspect David will be better off showing some datasets to Stata
technical support and describing what he wants to do. That would
clarify whether there is a solution at present or he needs new
features to be added.

Veterans day speakers get surprise gift from inspired students
On Wednesday, March 6, Pequot Lakes fifth and sixth grade students presented quilts as gifts to speakers that inspired them at last fall's Veteran's Day assembly, with each quilt square representing a book read by a student.
Roughly 250 fifth and sixth grade students read more than 400 books in a three week span. During that time, each book these students read earned them a square for use in the quilt, and that was more than enough motivation.
"We thought it was really cool that that's really all the kids wanted to get out of it, was to give to somebody else," sixth grade teacher Karen Rubado said. "We didn't have any parties or anything, and every single kid did at least one. There's not a single kid that did not read one."
The initial goal of the project was to create a single "Quilt of Valor" to present to paraeducator and battle wounded Iraq War Veteran Lucas Schmitz.
Schmitz, a new paraeducator at Pequot Lakes, spoke to students at last November's Veterans Day assembly on personal experiences in Iraq, as well as sacrifices made by other United States Veterans. Schmitz was wounded by an improvised explosive device (IED) in Iraq in 2006, and lost his right leg.
"Just by me going up there and saying maybe a ten minute speech you guys give me this awesome gift. I really appreciate it," Schmitz said during the presentation. "Wow, all these kids now want to work so hard reading and they want to give me a quilt. That's really an amazing gift and it kind of humbles me because I'm very happy to know that kids like you are thinking about veterans, not only veterans who are serving still, but veterans who are in the community that now have come back."
In addition to his gratitude, Schmitz also sees a lot of potential in the program that lead up to the presentation.
"It was a great idea to get them to read, too," he said. "I could see something like that happening for a while as a motivator for the kids. It also helps to do something for someone specific in your community. I think they could really do this for anything like breast cancer, any other person in the community that needs help, but I thought it was really special that they did it for me."
According to Schmitz, this is the second Quilt of Valor he has been given. Wounded soldiers often receive them while recovering in the hospital as a way of making their recovery more comfortable.
Students decided to present the other three "Quilts of Patriotism" to three enlisted Pequot Lakes High School Seniors that recited the soldier's creed during that same Veteran's Day assembly: Josh Shenk, Kim Jessen and Cheyenne Syvertson-Hagestuen. The other three quilts presented were not technically Quilts of Valor because those are only presented to wounded veterans, but were instead called Quilts of Patriotism in honor of the three Pequot Lakes enlistees they were being given to.
"They expected to make one quilt but they ended up reading enough books that they made four. That was pretty cool," said Shenk, a Pequot Lakes Senior enlisted in the National Guard. "I thought it was great. It was really surprising and really cool that they did that for us."
Jessen and Syvertson-Hagestuen were unable to attend the presentation due to schedule conflicts.
"It was sad, but then it was really inspirational," said sixth grader Madison Chiodi of Schmitz's experience. "It was really touching that they would do that for the USA, I loved it."
Chiodi lead her class by reading 10 books, including her favorite, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," during the three week period.
The Quilt of Valor project came in conjunction with a new type of reading and writing curriculum adopted in Pequot Lakes School called "Making Meaning" and "Being a Writer." The curriculum uses a workshop format to encourage students to read by incorporating reading for enjoyment into their grades and also by getting students to discuss what they are reading and writing in order to increase their understanding.
There is a national foundation that presents Quilts of Valor to wounded veterans in the hospital. The idea for the quilts at Pequot Lakes was introduced by Janet Belanger and organized by Rubado. It was the idea of the students to make a quilt for Schmitz. The quilts were made by Belanger and friends.
"For these kids knowing someone in the school that they can see every day is an example of a battle wounded veteran, that's a big deal to them, and it made a lasting impression," Rubado said.

text: Can we all agree that beauty is a subjective thing? If so...don't get in a tiff if I keep walking. What else is subjective? Calling something a masterpiece? I'd say so. The author is implying, or rather, flat out saying that because people didn't stop to listen or even drop some money into his case in appreciation, that we as a society have someone been diminshed by our day to day rush. How well...stupid. I'm guessing the author has no idea how the people passing by could have been affected by just hearing the music and walking by...carrying it in their heads at the start of a busy day. This could go on and on...my main point actually is that most people in the western world have this belief that "classical" music is something to be appreciated above all else...as if it exists on a whole other plain. "Classical" music is nothing more than a distilled for of art music - a dead form mostly - of European origins. I may be biased however....I just hate articles like this "experiment".

Blood is on The Hands of the LEFT
By: Howard Galganov, Canadian writer December 14, 2012
I was just about to publish my latest editorial... on Canada's Supreme Court
decision to suspend Freedom of Speech in favor of promoting one language
over all others. THEN THE CONNECTICUT SCHOOL SHOOTINGS HAPPENED.
What happened at Sandy Hook School takes precedence over any language issues
in Canada and a failed Judicial System in both our countries.
I won't waste words describing my feelings, because how I feel is
indescribable about 27 people murdered, (20 young children and six adults at
the school),the murder of the shooter's mother beforehand, then the cowardly
suicide of the shooter at the school as law enforcement closed in.
It didn't happen because of the so-called gun culture, or because of poor
security at the school. It happened because of the modern LEFTIST culture
that has been busy removing all semblance of personal responsibility and
respect from our lives.
It happened because of the Hollywood and television types who lecture the
Conservatives on how people should live, while they make FORTUNES producing
absolute FILTH and VIOLENCE in their movies, videos and television programs.
It happened because of reality TV shows that demean humanity, along with
shows that make people laugh at the pain and humiliation of others.
The senseless murders happened because multi-millionaire computer game
producers create UGLY digital scenarios that poison young minds with abject
depravity and gratuitous violence.
It happened because the school system doesn't teach values, and promotes the
idea that 'anything goes.' And that all people are equal, regardless of the
truth. And that no one ever fails.
It happened because LEFTISTS won't allow concerned and loving parents to
discipline their children, or raise their children in the time-honored way
they feel is right.
It happened because far too many Liberals spend their time and effort
ridiculing and attacking the people who want to live by the lessons of the
Bible and the Torah.
In truth, this and other horrible acts of violence happen because our
society-- from the entertainment industry to schools to the media and to our
governments-- have created the social and cultural foundation that is eating
away at both Canada and the United States like a cancer.
I know that what I am writing will inflame those on the LEFT, but that's
OK-- because if they don't like it, they can ROT in HELL along with the
demons and losers of their own creation. I want my old country's values back
Values like standing in school when an adult entered the room. Like being
seriously disciplined for bad behavior. Like when we were measured by our
successes and failures. When not everyone had to waste years of his or her
life going to college to study basket weaving instead of taking a trades
course or going to work or the service right after high school. When your
Mom was a caring woman and your Dad was a real man, an authority in the home
And when there weren't vulgar parades extolling the "virtues" of being gay.
If you want to stop the sickness . . . IT'S TIME TO STOP THE LEFT.
In sadness . . . Howard Galganov

See coverage for 13 different regions of the Area Research Center Network.
The Wisconsin Historical Society and the University of Wisconsin (UW) System cooperate in a network of Area Research Centers (ARCs) located at UW campus libraries throughout the state and at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center.
The Wisconsin Historical Society and the University of Wisconsin System cooperate in a network of Area Research Centers located at the campus libraries throughout the state and at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center. Records particular to the local area are housed permanently at each Center and circulate within the network.
For network purposes, the state is divided into fourteen regions. Thirteen of the regions are served by an Area Research Center, and one is served by the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison. Each region consists of one or more counties (see image above). Records created by county offices and other local government units for the region are housed at the Area Research Center, as are non-governmental manuscript collections of regional interest.
Historical records gathered through the network generally are organized and cataloged by archivists at the Society Headquarters in Madison. The materials then are returned to the appropriate Area Research Center. Most centers also hold archival records from their campuses and additional special collection holdings not owned by the Society. Historical records owned by the Society can be accessed via the Library Catalog regardless of their location.
Archivists at each Area Research Center answer written and telephone reference requests and help the public use the network's resources. Archival collections usually located at the Wisconsin Historical Society or at one of the Area Research Centers may be transferred temporarily within the network to accommodate local historians, genealogists, students and other scholars throughout Wisconsin. Before their initial visit, researchers are advised to write or call the appropriate repository since some collections may be on loan and hours may vary.

Events and celebrations will take place throughout the year on the theme of water cooperation.
This will include official and milestone events as well as many other events organized by various stakeholders around the world. If you are organizing an event during the International Year of Water Cooperation or for World Water Day, do not forget to register it online!
Such events will seek to promote actions at all levels in relevant areas including education, culture, gender, sciences, conflict prevention and resolution, as well as ethics, among others.
In the framework of the International Year of Water Cooperation, the UN-Water Conference in Zaragoza will focus on effective ways to make cooperation happen in the water domain. It will in particular identify the best approaches to promote effective cooperation at different levels, and reflect on how to 'do better' in water cooperation. The conference will look at critical factors of success, challenges, and barriers based on cases of effective cooperation.
Visit the Conference's web page.
A high level event was held at UNESCO HQ to kick-start the International Year of Water Cooperation. During this event, the winner of our slogan contest was announced, and the official slogan for Water Cooperation 2013 was adopted in the presence of the UNESCO Director General, Ms Irina Bokova.
Children and youth participated in parallel activities on the International Year of Water Cooperation at UNESCO HQ and in the Pavillion de l'Eau of Paris, respectively. The later prepare a Youth Declaration on water cooperation, which they presented to the participants of the high level event.
The WWD represents a culminating event within the International Year.
Celebrations and events will take place around the world on the theme of water cooperation. Two main events will also take place in The Hague, The Netherlands and at the UN Headquarters in New York.
Official celebrations and a High Level Forum will take place in The Hague, The Netherlands. The programme of the day includes inspirational speeches, presentations, panel and thematic discussions, and a series of public shows on the theme of water cooperation.
A High-Level Interactive Dialogue of the sixty-seventh session of the General Assembly will also be convened in New York on 22 March 2013 to mark the 2013 International Year of Water Cooperation and the twentieth anniversary of the proclamation of World Water Day.
The Conference aims to spur water cooperation, in particular at transboundary level, through the promotion of successful policies and best practices, wider public participation, and the encouragement of policy makers to support water cooperation at all levels to achieve internationally agreed goals on water.
The Conference also gives an opportunity to discuss and develop new measures to accelerate the efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and recommendations for further actions after 2015, including contribution to the development of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to water.
The World Water Week in Stockholm is the annual meeting place for the planet's most urgent water-related issues. Organised by the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), it brings together 2,500 experts, practitioners, decision-makers and business innovators from around the globe to exchange ideas, foster new thinking and develop solutions. In 2013, the World Water Week will be held under the theme "Water Cooperation – Building Partnerships".
On this occasion, UN-Water, UNESCO and SIWI invited the participants to add their piece to the Giant Puzzle of Water Cooperation throughout the week.

Building on Hungary's achievements during its Presidency of the EU in 2011, the Hungarian Government selected the issue of water as its top priority in the run up to and at the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012. To follow up the conclusions of the Conference Mr János Áder, the President of Hungary, announced in Rio de Janeiro Hungary's intention to organise a major international water event (Budapest World Water Summit) in October 2013. With the participation of UN Member States, competent UN agencies and bodies as well as all concerned economic and social partners the Summit aims to contribute to the elaboration of the water-related Sustainable Development Goals and provide concrete guidance on the most pressing water issues – drinking water, sanitation, waste water treatment, integrated water management, international water cooperation, innovative water technologies – with a view to defining the priorities of global development policy post 2015.
The Closing Ceremony of the 2013 International Year of Water Cooperation will be held in Mexico City, United Mexican States, on 5 and 6 December 2013. This ceremony will provide a synthesis of the major achievements of the International Year, explore modalities to further foster water cooperation and set the agenda for the follow-up of the International Year.
The Closing Ceremony is organized by UNESCO, on behalf of UN-Water, with the support of the Government of Mexico through the National Water Commission (CONAGUA). It includes high-level panels on the global perspectives of water security and cooperation, as well as on the milestone events and UN activities that took place during the Year. A discussion on the messages of the International Year will also be held and the ceremony will conclude with the spotlight on the way ahead, including a focus on water in the preparations for the post-2015 Development Agenda.

I have a hive stand that may fit 3 hits next to each other. Wondering if there is some best practice on how close you can put them next to each other.
I have a hive stand that may fit 3 hits next to each other. Wondering if there is some best practice on how close you can put them next to each other.
I'm not sure but I think they can be right next to each other wth no problems. Many, if not all, of the pollinator hives appear to be that way. My original thought was that space would be good... but in winter, at least up here, I wonder if there would be a heat conservation benefit of keeping them side by side...
I'm looking forward to the experienced beekeepers to weigh in on this one.
"Life will find a way - it always finds a way." -Jurassic Park (MOVIE/BOOK)
USDA Zone 5a
Most of mine are within 4 inches of each other. Works well for me. I have some off by themselves. I see no distinct difference in production. I like them closer, it gives me somewhere to set my tools
Commercial beekeepers have 4 or 6 hives / pallet and they are pressed together with entrances as far apart as possible.
The only time you have to worry about how close they are is when installing new packages the will drift sometimes and you will have to change posations to equelize them other than that NO probolemo
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
If they are closer than touching, you have a problem.
I keep mine a minimum of 1/4" apart- that being the width of the divider in my double nuc boxes containing 2 colonies each.
I wouldn't hesitate to push boxes tightly next to each other with migratory tops on them if I had a reason to do so.
>How close is to close for hives?
There is no such thing.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I put 4 hives on an 8' hive stand (two by fours) and there is about 10" between them. Sometimes I have problems getting frames loose with my "J-hook" hive tool on the outside edges of the inner hives. The hives just don't have enough space between them for me to jack those obstinate frames loose. Working the hives from behind helps keep the bees a little more calm.
As for the bees, they seem to be just fine.

Put them whatever distance you need to put them, to do whatever you need to do. They don't care.
I like mine far enough apart that I can remove the boxes for inspections and/or working them, and have room to set the others boxes aside. Just for convenience.
I'm with Cleo on this one. It's awfully convenient to be able to set a removed box down on the stand, in between the other colonies. If you have the room to spare.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
Like Cleo, IMHO the bigger consideration is maintenance. Four on a pallet allows access from two adjacent sides. Three in a row up against each other means you'll be working the middle one from only one short side and reaching to the other.
I have 10 hives within spittin distance of my porch.
During the blackberry flow I had 17 on my front steps.
. Now wife was not exactly thrilled.

The entrances need to be far enough apart so the bees can find home. The width of a box is enough. You may get drifting to the end hives if you have a long row, bees can only count to three.

SHREVEPORT (AP) — Caddo Parish Coroner Todd Thoma says a 3-year-old girl who was found dead inside of car Friday died of a heat stroke.
However, Thoma has yet to rule if her death was accidental.
The Times reported Shreveport police were called to the mother's house just after 4:30 p.m., where the car was parked in the driveway.
Investigators say the girl may have been in the car for as many as 19 hours before her mother came out as she was heading to work and discovered the child.
The mother has been questioned by police as the investigation continues.
Temperatures reached a high of 93 in Shreveport on Friday, and officials say temperatures inside a vehicle can be more than 50 degrees higher when the windows are rolled up.

Kanako came in 7th at nationals last year but she wasn't nearly as good, coming in 4th at the JGPF versus her victory there this year. If everyone skates well, it might be hard for her to place ahead of Miki, Mao, and Akiko, but I feel like she has a very good chance of passing Fumie and Yukari in the standings. Where Akiko gets low PCS and Mao and Miki have been having problems recently though, anything could happen.
I agree Kanako has the chance to be in the top five at nationals. She has the triple-triple down and if the rest of the program is clean, she is in.
The top five for me are Miki,Mao,Akiko,Yukari, and Kanako. Fumie has be so down, that I just don't know. Miki can win with a triple-triple in both programs and clean on the rest. Mao needs to do very good because if she doesn't she is out.
All the top three were great!
I wouldn't think that >90 was appropriate for Dai's program if it were an international event. But these things may happen at Nationals
I love Nakamura, too.
Men's FS is on. Oda just skated beautifully . One fall in the beginning of his program. Total score 244.30
Great . Thanks for the alert,
Kozuka 236.13 into second behind Oda. Very nice skate for him. Dai is next. GO Dai!!!

Dai a few wonky jump landings but overall nice. What a great program he has. The best footwork of any man this year. He should win this.
i wish nbc showed japanesse nationals or icenetwork one
^^ Agreed. Dai's program is so darn difficult I don't know how he does it. He is a brilliant skater.
Congrats to Dai. 261.13 and to Oda and Kozuka.
I think if Dai skates clean at the Olys nobody will be able to beat him. It's all going to be about the jumps.

I realize that sounds horrible but none of my colonies have done well this year. I have one that completely disappeared. Of the other three only one has any surplus honey to remove. All of them are somewhat honey bound in the brood chambers but they only are covering 10 to 12 frames total (Up and down) in a double deep brood chamber.
I don't see any of them making it through the winter even if I feed them, so I am thinking of taking all the honey that I can from them and kill the bees, store the equipment away, and just buy new ones next year.
Some advice would be helpful.

Working 925 ain't no way to make a living!
Original post made by CDSI Research, another community, on Apr 24, 2008
Like many global corporations, institutions and industries, CDSI members do not work in Contra Costa County. The important message for economic development directors in our county's governments is the reasons our area does not attract technical and scientific start-ups and new divisions of major technology companies:
#1 - Tax holidays including Free Trade Zones and Enterprise Zones are not easily established without governments' objections.
#2 - Most certainly, housing is not affordable for scientific and engineering expertise needed and on-campus housing at technical centers has not been adopted.
#3 - There is a lack of expertise in governments' economic development to attract and support new technology centers and technology start-ups.
A suggestion: Within the resident expertise of Walnut Creek to Pleasanton are executives and professionals that fully understand new technology start-up. Why hasn't that expertise become a governments' taskforce for technology development in our county and region? These individuals are not part of various economic councils or sought by various governments as advisors. An invitation seems to be in order.

Dear Neighbors,
Just over our southern border, the city of Dublin has illustrated the ability to attract high-technology companies and especially new technology companies. We might ask Guy Houston, Dublin's former mayor and our primary candidate for supervisor how such invitation to high technology will be achieved in District 3.
So Guy, how is it done?

Dear Danville,
Danville has been voted a great place to start a business but remains a very poor place to work for one. Good jobs that offer a technical or professional future simply are very few in our town.
And nobody seems willing to talk about it!

Ladies and Gentlemen,
In cities world-wide, governments are seeking economic development that provides a very local job base for technically trained employees. In several attempts to serve such interests in San Francisco's East Bay region, our efforts to establish such technical centers have been opposed by local and regional political leaders.
Do you want quality facilities and job opportunities?

It's not over yet. Hopefully the Bears finish this game so we don't have to hear how good Romo is.
Why can't our defense cause turnovers like this and score?
Bears give it right back on strip sack by D. ware... Then romo on first play about to be sacked was going to flip it and it was knocked right into LBers hand who takes it 74 yards for td.... 24-7 bears
Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-

1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver

Pandora has announced it is creating a listenership cap on its free mobile listening, as a way to curb the streaming service's royalty costs. However, the company adds that this change will affect only a small percentage of its users.
In a blog post from Pandora founder Tim Westergren, he writes, "This week we will begin communicating directly with a small number of our listeners as we introduce a 40-hour-per-month limit on free mobile listening.
Most of you reading this will never hit the limit. In fact, it will affect less than 4% of our total monthly active listeners. For perspective, the average listener spends approximately 20 hours listening to Pandora across all devices in any given month.
That said, limiting listening is a very unusual thing to do, and very contrary to our mission so we wanted to share a quick explanation. Pandora's per-track royalty rates have increased more than 25% over the last 3 years, including 9% in 2013 alone and are scheduled to increase an additional 16% over the next two years. After a close look at our overall listening, a 40-hour-per-month mobile listening limit allows us to manage these escalating costs with minimal listener disruption.
For listeners who do hit the limit, we have a variety of options available to keep the music you love flowing. Listen for free for as many hours as desired on desktop and laptop computers; pay $0.99 for unlimited listening for the remainder of that month, or subscribe to Pandora One for unlimited listening and no advertising.
In short, this is an effort to balance the reality of increasing royalty costs with our desire to maximize access to free listening on Pandora. We will be sure to alert any of our listeners that start getting close to the 40 hour limit. As always, your feedback is welcome."

Is there anyway you Mods can touch base with IT and find out if there is any way to (there is) place a View First Unred Post button on the main forum index?
At the top of the page when you enter a thread there is a link to view first unread. It is a little less useful since you have to load the thread to access this feature. If you load the wrong page you are changing what the last post you read was, buggering up the whole system.
Most forums have this button on the index page, usually where we have a "View Last Post" button. Sometimes, the date of the last post is the view last post link, while the little button we use for that now goes to the first post you havent read yet.
Really an awesome feature of the new software that would be doubly useful if we can make a little tweak.

State School Superintendent John White this week addressed changes for Louisiana Believes 2013-2014, the Department of Education's plan that has changed academic standards through Course Choice, Compass and the scholarship program.
"Our schools have achieved tremendous things over the last year," White said. "We are taking on a harder challenge in our state by putting our students on a level that is comparable to the playing field of any child across the country and by ensuring that our children have a path to career or college."
Among the changes is the adjustment of the Early Childhood Network into a pilot program that will be in full effect in 2015. Until then, the department will work with various pilot networks to test for successful education policies for 3- and 4-year-olds.
White said there will be a stronger focus next year on what educators are teaching. To help teachers stay up to date on Louisiana classroom requirements a Teacher Toolbox and Louisiana Leader application were created with guides on what and how to teach.
Additionally, White said 2,000 Louisiana Teacher Leaders will be trained to give instruction on the new standards. The toolbox will be released at the end of the month with short- and long-term plans for teachers.
One area that White said needed significant improvement is educating children with disabilities. The department reported that only 29 percent of students in Louisiana who have special needs graduate.
White said teachers need more support through the Compass system to educate special-needs students. Such support would include academic monitoring, state funding and data reporting. The department plans to release a special-education guide this summer.
School Board Vice President Annette Ballard said Calcasieu Parish has set up programs to increase academic success for students with disabilities. She said losing any student is a concern and that success depends on meetings students' individual needs.
"We would like to see all of our students graduate," she said. "That is incumbent on us to make sure all assessments are in place and making all accommodations required."
The updated plan includes more emphasis on post-high school education, starting with low-performing schools. According to reports from the department more than 63,000 children attend F-rated schools and only 19 percent of all Louisiana students graduate college.
Calcasieu School Board member Joe Andrepont said to boost graduation rates the state needs to have more focus on students receiving a two-year or technical degree. He disagreed with requiring all students to take the ACT as well as using those scores for the school's performance rating. He said there should to be a distinction between what kinds of careers students want and what they are being required to learn in school.
"By separating the two we can accomplish a lot and we are going to increase our graduation rate," he said. "It would be more beneficial to allocate funds into career paths that lead to ... job opportunities in the skilled workforce."

How do we honor veterans and their families here in Palo Alto?
Original post made by john, Old Palo Alto, on Jan 17, 2008
One local cemetery used to put flags up at veteran grave sites, Memorial Day,but they said it took two men three to four days just to put out the flags!
And, maybe there are ways living veterans and their families are honored, such as being recognized, or thanked, in public, and soon. Not as a political thing.
So, I thought someone might know the history of this, have a photo, or maybe propose something appropriate for all those thousands who served, and many died, for us, and for this country and for freedom.

I thought that the fact that we have graves for unknowns with honors and perpetual flames was the way to honor each individual. I know that that does not give us an excuse, but in purely practical terms, that should take some responsibility away.
My own grandfather was seriously wounded in WW1 and taken prisoner in a German prisoner of war camp. I remember him as an old man, reluctant to speak bad of the Germans, who had nursed him back to health, and lived a full life despite his injuries (his shoulder was blown away which made movement of his left arm minimal and he had scars all over his face and upper body). I was and am very proud of what he did and think of him often, but do not need any type of memorial other than what we as a family have done for him and the annual remembrance of all past soldiers.
I am not taking away from anyone, but memorials are a personal thing, meaning different things to different people, and being forced into something that people do not want to do voluntarily is not a good reason for doing something.

How does Palo Alto honor its veterans? It doesn't. Veterans Day is just another day - day off for school kids maybe, and a big day for 'sales'. But honor veterans - naw, that's war stuff
and not 'cool' in Palo Alto. Yet there are vets here in town that were an Anzio, Iwo Jima, Pearl Harbor, and the Battle of the Bulge. Nurses who were in the military - all in their 80's and nineties now. Lots of Korean War vets and plenty from Vietnam.

For Memorial Day, all of the local scout troops are invited to place flags at veteran's gravesites. I did it last year and it was quite moving. There were thousands of scouts in this one cemetery placing over 100,000 flags. Even though my son is not in the scouts anymore, I would like to do it again. If you want to honor living veteran's, go volunteer at the local VA hospitals.

It turns out that consumers want one thing: their issues resolved. And, they want it done fast. Faster than fast. The challenge is this: the majority of brands act fast... as fast as they can. Sadly, it's not even close to being fast enough for consumers. Now, brands and consumers are going to have move forward and figure out a way to define what the true speed limits are.

After his world travels, Darwin became ill—but the cause remains unknown
Keith Thomson
It is widely known that Charles Darwin was an invalid for the last 40 years of his life. But the fluctuating trajectory of his health presents something of an enigma. In his Autobiography, Darwin tells us that as a schoolboy he prided himself on his fast running. He became a dedicated sportsman, especially enjoying the shooting season. For two years at Edinburgh University he was quite healthy. As a student at Cambridge University he kept a horse so as to be able to get out into the countryside to collect insects. While traveling around the world on HMS Beagle (from 1831 to 1836), this athletic young man adventured fearlessly on horseback across much of South America. But soon after his return to England, where he took up a life as a geologist and a prolific author, he became a prematurely infirm recluse. Moreover, although his various illnesses were debilitating and he apparently suffered more pain than many mortals could have borne, he was prodigiously productive in science. The final puzzle is that no one has been able to identify what ailed him.
That Darwin suffered physical agonies cannot be disputed. But there were mental torments too. As a youngster, he was shy, stammered and had a weak stomach, especially at breakfast time. He was a loner, partial to long, solitary, self-absorbed walks. As a teenager he started to suffer outbreaks of eczema on his face and lips. These would cause him to hide away in his room for days at a time, full of self-loathing, shunning all company. In the mid-part of his time as a student at Cambridge he suffered from depression and his eczema worsened. To some of his fellow students he was an outgoing sportsman and great companion, but to others he appeared withdrawn and judgmental. From quite early on, Darwin said, intense emotion "knocked me up most dreadfully."
The first apparent shift in his health occurred at Plymouth in 1831. No doubt he was already anxious enough about how he would endure a protracted voyage around the world in a tiny surveying ship. Then, during the agonizingly long, drawn-out wait for the Beagle to be ready for sea, he started to suffer not only from more dermatitis but also heart palpitations and, possibly, paresthesia (numbing of the finger tips). By contrast, during the voyage itself, he had a few fevers and a couple of long spells of intestinal illness, but perhaps no more than anyone would expect, given the conditions.
On Darwin's return to England in October 1836, he set himself an ambitious schedule of work, starting with the completion of his Beagle diaries (published as Journal and Remarks in 1839 and later revised as The Voyage of the Beagle). He organized a battery of experts to create monographs of the zoological results of his work (The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle, published in five parts between 1838 and 1843). All the while he was working intensely at establishing a place in London's scientific community. Unsurprisingly, he soon added increased stomach problems to his list of ailments: "My stomach as usual has been my enemy." He discovered that intense work also brought on headaches, palpitations, exhaustion and more eczema. Doctors, including his father, recommended that he work less, but any loss of time increased his anxiety.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew has been cleared by team doctors to begin practice on Friday when the Jaguars hold their first training camp practice.
Jones-Drew had surgery last December to correct the Lisfranc injury that caused him to miss the final 10 games in 2012. He missed all of the team's offseason workouts and OTAs in the spring, but had vowed he would be ready for the start of training camp.
Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley, in declaring that the NFL's leading rusher in 2011 had been cleared, says the team will be smart with how they use him during camp and preseason games. They will "bring him along slowly."
Jones-Drew says he has lost some additional weight and that he is now working to get into football shape.

:Can Honda reclaim the crown as king of the front-wheel drive sport compact segment? Unlike the Honda Civic Si's dominance of the sport compact scene during the '80s and '90s, these days the more powerful and aggressively styled MazdaSpeed3 rules the front-drive roost (and the VW Golf GTI isn't far behind). But with the introduction of the all-new 2012 Civic Si, Honda has a golden opportunity to strike back and reclaim the title as king of the FWD pocket rockets. To find out if Soichiro Honda would be grinning from ear to ear or frowning in disapproval, we brought the 9th generation Civic Si and the MazdaSpeed3 to Toronto Motorsports Park for a knockdown, drag 'em out, head-to-head shootout where the only things that matter are acceleration, braking, and grip.2012 Mazdaspeed3Positives:Gobs of torque and oodles of horsepowerSporty feeling suspension tuning and steering5-door hatchback practicalityNegatives:Lack of pedal feel when threshold brakingRuns out of steam over 6000 rpmFront grille styling will scare away some buyers2012 Honda Civic SiPositives:Super slick transmission and magical limited slip differentialStiff and responsive chassisGreat mid-range torque from its 2.4L engineNegatives:Softly sprung and too much body roll7200 rpm redline means that boy-racer feeling is missingNot enough horsepower to compete for the FWD sport compact crownFull ReviewVideo Review
Pssh.I like the Civic Si, but I can't think of any FWD car sold in the States that is better than the MazdaSpeed3, in terms of performance. In general terms, the GTI can be debatably better, but that's based on preference.
I haven't thought of the Civic Si as king of the sport compact for quite some time. 15 or 20 years ago, yes - but the previous Focus SVT was better, the GTI has been better for a long time, the Speed3 is far superior and the upcoming Focus ST will have more style, horsepower and better handling. Not to mention the WRX STi the EVO. Civic falls short in performance as well as style as my opinion.
Honda sucks
Honda's FWD system is much better than MS3, but in the new Si Honda *** up the suspension for comfort.
The Si has been out of the game for awhile in my mind. I have driven a 08 GTI and 08 Si, and the tranny in the GTI IMO had shorter throws and was smoother when romped around with. It doesnt have near enough power, even though for a NA engine it puts out a good ratio. Then the suspension hasnt been the best either. It doesnt win a single catagory except maybe comfort and looks.

Tom Boyer, director of government affairs with Novo Nordisk Inc., will present "Health Insurance Reform vs. Healthcare Reform: A Brief Overview of How Political Debate is Shaping America's Health System for the Next Several Decades" on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 4 p.m. at Hope College in the Maas Center conference room.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
A question-and-answer session following his presentation will consider topics including: how the health reform debate in Washington, D.C., among policymakers is progressing; the key differences between "health insurance reform" and "healthcare reform"; what makes some form of health insurance and healthcare reform vital to everyone's economic self-interest; the prospect of health insurance and healthcare reform before mid-term elections; what key features of "health insurance reform" will likely remain within any plan passed by Congress; and the price of failure for Democrat and Republican elected officials vs. the price of success for Democrat and Republican office holders.
Boyer, who graduated from Hope in 1991 with a major in political science, has more than 18 years of professional experience in health care government relations activities focused on diabetes. Prior to his current role with Novo Nordisk Inc., he served as executive director of the Diabetes Care Coalition.He also represented the American Diabetes Association in legislative and public relations efforts. His work secured coverage for diabetes therapies by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance programs. Working directly with the diabetes community, he crafted the supporting program materials that helped convince President Bill Clinton and Speaker Newt Gingrich of the need to improve diabetes coverage for the Medicare population. More recently, he worked with members of Congress and the Bush Administration to draft legislation that provides coverage for diabetes needs in a prescription drug program for America's senior citizens.
The event is sponsored by the college's department of political science.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

UTSA, UTHSC co-sponsor summer mentorship program
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 15, 2005)--Faculty members at The University of Texas at San Antonio and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio are partnering this summer in a program designed to increase enrollment in science and engineering graduate programs at both institutions.
For two-and-a-half months, faculty from UTSA and UTHSC will open their research laboratories to 11 undergraduate students to provide research experience and professional mentoring with the intention of increasing the number of well-prepared students from the area entering careers in research.

The UTSA/UTHSC Summer Mentorship Program allows students to develop their interests in laboratory science and to master sophisticated research techniques that will be necessary for their success in graduate education in a rigorous research environment. The students represent UTSA, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Texas at Brownsville, Texas Lutheran University, Texas A&M University, Baylor University, Texas Tech University, Louisiana Tech University and the University of the Virgin Islands.
"We think this pilot program will help promising students prepare to be competitive when enrolling in graduate programs," said Dorothy Flannagan, dean of the UTSA Graduate School. "We also want to promote our graduate programs, and we hope these students will return to their universities and speak about the research experiences they received at both our institutions."
"Our graduate programs in science and engineering in San Antonio must develop aggressive recruiting methods to attract the best and the brightest undergraduates from regional colleges and universities to our master's and doctoral programs," said Merle S. Olson, dean of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at the Health Science Center. "The major research universities and private sector research entities in Texas depend upon our training programs to produce well-educated scientists and engineers to enable solutions to the most complex and economically interesting issues in the biosciences."
In addition to the laboratory research experience and one-on-one mentoring, students will tour several scientific research facilities in San Antonio. The tours will expose the students to a variety of research venues and offer students opportunities to observe how fundamental scientific research can lead to practical solutions to health problems and commercial product development.

You've checked out Mount Vernon, explored the wine cellars of Monticello, and gazed at the grandeur of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but you could always use some extra know-how when it comes to presidential expertise. Take your commander-in-chief curiosity to the next level at The Adolphus Hotel. Located in the heart of downtown Dallas, this historic property sits along the same route that President Kennedy's motorcade took on that fateful day in 1963.
Built a century ago by beer baron Adolphus Busch, the sumptuously decorated hotel is all Gilded Age glamour. With its glittering chandeliers, intricately carved Steinway piano, and stunning flower arrangements, it's no wonder the hotel has attracted an enviable collection of Hollywood royalty and British nobility.
"Rooms are very large and tastefully appointed in English country-house style, with marble bathrooms and separate sitting and dining areas," Frommer's says. "The suites are about as large as Texas."
Begin your exploration of Dallas by heading to Dealey Plaza, where The Sixth Floor Museum gives visitors access to a replica of Lee Harvey Oswald's sniper's perch, before experience the Big D's lighter side at the flagship location of luxe department store Neiman Marcus. Then, load up on artistic culture at the Nasher Sculpture Center, where you can stroll through rooms of Picasso bronzes and colorful Frank Stella abstracts.
Come mealtime, melt into the cushy velvet chairs of The French Room, the hotel's on-site restaurant hailed by Travel + Leisure as one of the world's top 25 dining experiences, and one of the country's highest-rated restaurant in Zagat. Indulge in a tasting menu filled with dishes like foie gras with brioche and peach jam, Copper River salmon with lobster-potato gratin, or a rack of lamb with blue cheese-and-onion jam. Then, finish things off with one of the pastry chef's artistically crafted soufflés—a dessert good enough to go down in history.
"Beer baron Adolphus Busch created this Beaux-Arts building in Downtown Dallas in 1912, sparing nothing in the way of ornamentation. The European-style rooms, filled with unique floral prints and Queen Anne-style furniture, have modern amenities."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Adolphus Hotel

Action Speaks!, the panel discussion series at Providence art space AS220, continues its fall program with a look at the rise of video games.
The chat, moderated by Marc Levitt, will feature D. Fox Harrell, a professor of digital media at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Randall Nichols, a professor of English and media studies at Bentley University; and Mary Flanagan, a professor of film and media studies at Dartmouth College and author of Critical Play: Radical Game Design.
The discussion, titled "1972: The Birth of Pong and Video Games," will be at AS220 on October 12 at 5:30 pm; it's free and open to the public. The Phoenix, a sponsor of Action Speaks!, caught up with Flanagan for a Q&A via email.
IN YOUR BOOKCRITICAL PLAY, YOU WRITE THAT PEOPLE HAVE USED GAMES TO CHALLENGE AUTHORITY FOR CENTURIES. YOU FOCUS, AT ONE POINT, ON VICTORIAN ERA GIRLS PLAYING HOUSE. WHAT DID YOU FIND THERE? Victorian girls played like kids today — they were subversive players, killing their dolls, holding doll funerals, and exploring social norms around those events. Doll manufacturers responded to this, selling doll caskets and funeral attire for other dolls. Such play shows us of the prevalence of illness and death in the era, as well as they way in which children made sense of the events. Such play reveals that we are not so different today than players of the past.
YOU ALSO WRITE OF VIDEO GAMES AS A POSSIBLE TOOL OF SOCIAL CRITIQUE. DESCRIBE THE 2008 GAMEHUSH AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT THE GENRE.Hush is a game created by students at the University of Southern California that explores a possible moment during the Rwandan genocide of the early 1990s. Players take on the position of a mother and try to keep a baby quiet while men are hunting a village for those different than themselves. The game is created with minimal graphics and sound, but the experience is rich and harrowing — emotionally very deep and very moving. The game shows us that big 3D game engines or huge narratives aren't necessarily the key to a moving play experience — a simple approach might still yield a moving, haunting experience.
DOES THIS SORT OF GAME HAVE ANY HOPE OF APPEALING TO A MASS AUDIENCE? I think critical games do have an appeal. We're at a point where games can tackle difficult and important issues, much like other creative forms such as films or novels. Since 2005, game sales have outpaced Hollywood box office sales; one could say that games are the medium of our time. If that is true, many types of games will appeal to various audiences, and we'll see new genres emerge.
DO YOU FIND ANYTHING REDEEMING IN GAMES THAT CURRENTLY ENJOY MASS APPEAL? Of course! Games evoke our dreams and fantasies. They teach us that perseverance matters, and that we can constantly improve. Games can help us problem solve and become interested in things from space exploration to science to commerce. They can connect us to each other through play.
