text: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6571514 MOCK DRAFT: Round 1 Pick Team Player Pos. School Class Previous Rising/Falling High/Low 1. Raiders JaMarcus Russell QB LSU Junior 1st SAME 1st / 10th There was some talk of the Raiders showing interest in Jake Plummer during the free agency period. Nothing came of it. And if you are aware of the Al Davis/Mike Shanahan relationship — you'd know that a) the Raiders and Broncos won't be swapping players anytime soon, and b) if they were to — the Apocalypse would be amongst us. The Raiders are taking Russell. There's no doubts there. Then again, in March of '06, no one doubted that the Texans were drafting Reggie Bush. 2. Lions Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin Senior 2nd SAME 2nd / 5th The Lions made some solid off-season moves in the past two weeks, creating a bit of noise in the free agency game. Don't be fooled, just because Detroit bolstered their offensive line by signing George Foster does not mean they're still not hot for Joe Thomas. The Wisconsin All-American tackle wowed scouts at the combine and has everything Matt Millen and Rod Marinelli would like to see in a first round draft pick. A tremendous player and an even better kid, Thomas will anchor the Lions offensive line for years to come. 3. Browns Brady Quinn QB Notre Dame Senior 9th (+6) 1st / 9th Arguably the most curious pick in the entire draft, the Browns can go a variety of ways here. Running back? Defensive line? Offensive line? They can use help in all of those areas. In the end, I think they take Quinn, the golden boy out of South Bend. The Jamal Lewis signing was only a 1-year deal, and Reuben Droughns was traded to New York — meaning there is still a "running back for the future" void on the Browns roster. Peterson would be the ideal fit. But, you don't pass on franchise quarterbacks when they're available and you desperately need one. Quinn — whose stock has been about as volatile as the Dow this month — sneaks back up to number 3. 4. Buccaneers Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech Junior 4th SAME 2nd / 4th The only no-brainer in the first round. Any chance of the Bucs moving up to get Brady Quinn was squandered when they went out and acquired about 40 quarterbacks in the off-season. The word out of Indianapolis was that not just Tampa, but every team in the NFL — all 32 — have Calvin Johnson as the top rated player on their boards. However, Oakland (they need a quarterback), Detroit (Matt Millen would sooner draft a kicker with the second pick than another receiver), and Cleveland (Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow were taken in consecutive years in the first round) all have more pressing needs than the receiver spot. Truthfully, so do the Bucs. But Gruden and co. can't pass on Johnson at 4. His performance at the combine was the stuff that legends are made of. His performance on the field next year may be even more impressive. 5. Cardinals Gaines Adams DE Clemson Senior 5th SAME 5th / 7th Adams' stock continues to rise and rise. Some mocks have him going as high as number 2 to Detroit. Don't be shocked if the teams end up swapping picks. With the underachieving Leonard Davis gone to Dallas, the Cards would love nothing more than seeing Joe Thomas in Buzzsaw red. If they can't work out a deal to get Thomas, Adams will be the pick. The 2006 ACC Defensive Player of the Year, the kid who played 8-on-8 football in high school dominated the combine drills in Indianapolis. As FOXSports.com's John "Czar" Czarnecki wrote in his column the Tuesday after Adams' combine performance, "Going strictly by his numbers, Adams blew away his competition by running a 4.64 40-yard dash and also finishing no worse than third in his group in three other categories. When going by these numbers, Adams could be this year's Mario Williams. He could go anywhere in the top 10 and possibly even the top five based on his overall performance. There wasn't one defensive coach yesterday who wasn't blown away by his 40 time." Can't go wrong there. 6. Redskins Alan Branch DT Michigan Junior 6th SAME 6th / 6th Branch didn't dazzle at the combine, but his stock didn't quite slip either. A 330 pound clog in the middle, he'll be the top DT drafted in April. The Redskins' rush defense was an embarrassment all season long. Though not sexy by any means, this is a sound pick. 7. Vikings Jamaal Anderson DE Arkansas Junior 7th SAME 5th / NR The Vikings have done little to improve upon their lackluster pass rush situation thus far this off-season. Signing Vinny Ciurciu wasn't exactly like bringing in Lawrence Taylor, and losing Napoleon Harris to Kansas City didn't help. Though the Minnesota run defense was one of the best in the league in '06, the team sorely missed a pass rushing threat off the end. Kenechi Udeze started 16 games and recorded 0 sacks. Erasmus James is still recovering from a 2005 injury. Anderson, who recorded 13.5 sacks for Arkansas in '06, could be the perfect fit. 8. Texans Levi Brown OT Penn State Senior 8th SAME 8th / 31st A curious off-season thus far in Houston. The Ahman Green contract is one of the great mysteries of mankind, and experts seem to think Jordan Black got a bit too much from Rick Smith and co. as well. Moreover, the quarterback situation went from a tumultuous open book situation into nothing at all. Peaceful, easy, feeling. Apparently, David Carr is the guy after all. Even with the Black signing, the Texans offensive line is in dire need of improvement. Brown's a two-time All American who can start immediately for Gary Kubiak. Look for Houston to swipe him up at number 8. 9. Dolphins Amobi Okoye DT Louisville Senior 11th (+2) 9th / 32nd One of the busiest teams this off-season, the Dolphins defense picked up Joey Porter and DB Cameron Worrell, but lost Dan "Big Daddy" Wilkinson in the middle. On the offensive side of the ball, Randy McMichael, Sammy Morris, Travis Minor, and Wes Welker are gone — with David Martin now on board. Look for the 'Phins to take a gamble and go with the 19-year-old Okoye, here. A standout at Louisville with arguably the most "upside" in the entire draft, Okoye will learn the game from some of the NFL's best defensive players in Miami. 10. Falcons LaRon Landry S LSU Senior 10th SAME 9th / 11th Atlanta's receiving corps were a nightmare in '06. The only spot on the field that was potentially worse was safety. LaRon Landry is a once-in-a-generation player. Already considered the top defensive back in the draft entering Tuesday's combine session, Landry blew scouts away with a jaw-dropping 4.32 in the 40. A four-year starter at LSU, and the defensive leader of the nation's number one unit in '06, the Falcons would be grabbing a franchise cornerstone by selecting him at 10. The brother of Ravens starter Dawan Landry, he'll make an impact right away. 11. 49ers Adam Carriker LB Ole Miss Senior 21st (+10) 11th / NR San Francisco's defense is in the midst of a complete overhaul. Though the Niners missed out on Adalius Thomas in the free agency game, they brought in Nate Clements at cornerback, Aubrayo Franklin at DT, Michael Lewis at safety, and former Patriot Tully Banta-Cain at linebacker. Look for them to pick up Nebraska's Carriker to bolster the pass rush with this pick. Arguably the best player at the Senior Bowl in Mobile last month, Carriker jumped into the top 20 of the draft with a solid combine. 11 might be a little high — but he fits a need for San Francisco. 12. Bills Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma Junior 3rd (-9) 3rd / 12th Whoa. Talk about a dream come true. Will Peterson slip to 12? I highly doubt it. But, if Cleveland goes with Quinn, there doesn't seem to be another team in the top 11 slots that would be targeting a running back. Sure, the Bills need help at other positions. And yes, they did just re-sign Anthony Thomas. But none of that matters. If Peterson's somehow available at 12, Marv Levy and co. will scoop him up before Buffalo's pick even goes on the clock. 13. Rams Patrick Willis LB Ole Miss Senior 13th SAME 12th / 13th Along with Carriker, Willis was a standout in Mobile at the Senior Bowl a month ago. The Butkus Award winner and SEC Defensive Player of the Year, he recorded 137 tackles and had three sacks in '06. A complete package who can go sideline to sideline, Willis will pay immediate dividends for the Rams' often inconsistent defense. The Rams brought in Drew Bennett, Randy McMichael and Travis Minor to bolster the offense through free agency. They'll focus on defense here. A linebacker that does it all, Willis is the perfect pick at 13. 14. Panthers Reggie Nelson S Florida Junior 14th SAME 13th / 14th Nelson solidified his spot as a top 15 pick with a 4.35 40 at Florida's Pro Day last week. Any doubts about his speed were put to rest. A star in 2006 on the national champion Gators' defense, Nelson can start as a rookie for whichever team drafts him. Carolina's a logical fit. Quiet in the free agency game, John Fox will look to bolster his hit-or-miss secondary with the kid out of Gainesville. 15. Steelers Paul Posluszny LB Penn State Senior 18th (+3) 15th / 25th A little high for "Poz"? Maybe. But Posluszny's a Western Pennsylvania kid who will quickly endear the Steelers faithful. With Joey Porter gone to Miami, the tireless worker and former Bednariak and Butkus award winner could fill the void at linebacker for the Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense was uncharacteristically off-the-mark in '06, and Mike Tomlin and co. can go a number of ways in the draft. Linebacker is a need and Posluszny will be an immediate crowd favorite. Whether he fits in Tomlin's scheme is a bit of an unknown — but I see the Steelers taking the risk and finding out. 16. Packers Marshawn Lynch RB California Junior 20th (+4) 14th / 20th With Ahman Green gone to the Texans, the Packers will look to fill their starting running back position. Lynch is the perfect running back for the West Coast offense, able to both run and receive with the best of them. Lynch answered questions about his speed and work ethic with an impressive Combine performance in Indianapolis. He'll start right away for the Packers. And a few years down the road — his old college teammate, Mr. Aaron Rodgers, will be the one handing him the ball. That is, of course, if Brett Favre doesn't decide to keep on playing into the next decade. Hey, it's possible. 17. Jaguars Ted Ginn, Jr. WR Ohio State Junior 19th SAME 17th / 19th Don't be fooled. Signing Dennis Northcutt did not mean the Jaguars addressed their dire need at wideout. The Jags' wide receiver situation is still bleak. Northcutt, Matt Jones, Reggie Williams, and Ernest Wilford — though all tall and physically gifted -- are not number one options. If Ginn's available at 17, I think the Jaguars grab him. A dual threat, the Ohio State speedster could serve as Jacksonville's kick returner as well. 18. Bengals Leon Hall CB Michigan Senior 15th (-3) 8th / 18th With Brian Simmons and Kevin Kaesviharn both signing with New Orleans this off-season, there are some holes to be filled on the Bengals defense. Look for Hall, a lock-down corner who wowed critics with 4.3 speed at the combine, to be the first corner taken in April's draft. While some mocks have him going as high as 5 to Arizona, somewhere around the 15-20 range seems more likely. On top of being experienced and tested, Hall's a character guy — something especially important in Cincinnati. 19. Titans Darrelle Revis CB Pittsburgh Junior 12th (-7) 9th / 19th One of the many wide receivers likely to still be on the board at this point will be tempting for Tennessee. But Revis will be hard to pass up if he's available. With the future of Adam "Pacman" Jones in limbo at the moment, grabbing a top-flight corner to play alongside newly signed Nick Harper will be a priority for Tennessee. By his count, Revis was thrown at only 10-15 times all season, with 2 of those passes resulting in interceptions. A speedster, he curiously opted not to run at the combine. That left scouts scratching their heads, but should not hurt his draft stock to the point where he slips out of the top 3 cornerbacks taken in the draft. 20. Giants Lawrence Timmons LB FSU Junior 24th (+4) 17th / NR Curious off-season for Jerry Reese and the Giants. After staying quiet for the majority of the free agency period, the G-men traded wide receiver Tim Carter to the Browns in exchange for Reuben Droughns. Now, they have one big, rumbling back to back-up another big, rumbling back. Hmm ... If Marshawn Lynch is available at 20, don't be shocked if the Giants take him, adding a third running back to the mix. The Giants linebacker situation, however, is a more pressing need. The LB spot has been an embarrassment come January over the past two seasons. Injuries have riddled the position both years. Chase Blackburn? Alonzo Jackson? These are not the guys you want on the field in the playoffs. Timmons is a physical specimen and a student of the game. Able to play both the D-line and the outside linebacker positions, he's the versatile defensive player the Giants defense sorely needs. 21. Broncos Jarvis Moss DE Florida Junior NR 21st / NR With the additions of Dre Bly, Daniel Graham, and Travis Henry to the Denver roster, the Broncos picked up depth at a lot of key positions. One spot they didn't really improve upon was at defensive end. Moss is compared to fellow former Gator, Javon Kearse. "Freak" or not, he's considered a bit of a project — blessed with tremendous physical talent. Denver can go a lot of ways with this pick. Taking a risk on Moss isn't a bad idea. 22. Cowboys Dwayne Jarrett WR USC Junior 22nd SAME 10th / 22nd This pick hasn't changed on my mock. Sure, the Cowboys likely have more glaring needs at safety. But, Jerry Jones would be delighted to have a talent like Jarrett fall into his lap with the 22nd pick. Let's face it — the Cowboys starting wideouts, as good as they are, aren't getting any younger. Terrell Owens is 33. Terry Glenn is 34. Jarrett is slipping like a rock on most mock drafts. Other teams' losses will be Dallas' gain. 23. Chiefs Dwayne Bowe WR LSU Senior 23rd SAME 23rd / NR Samie Parker and Eddie Kennison simply can not be KC's starting wideouts on opening day yet again next season. K.C. will take a wideout that's ready to start next year. Whether it's Bowe, Jarrett, Ginn, Meachem, or even Sidney Rice will depend upon the first 22 teams in the draft. I think Bowe's the guy. 24. Patriots (from Seahawks) Anthony Spencer LB/DE Purdue Senior 26th (+2) 24th / NR No team picked up as many valuable contributors through free agency than the Patriots. Adalius Thomas, Sammy Morris, Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth, Kyle Brady, and Kelley Washington will all make immediate impacts next year. The Patriots lost versatile up-and-coming linebacker Tully Banta-Cain, however. They'll look to pick up another defensive player, one that can play a variety of positions in the 3-4, through the draft. Spencer will more than likely play DE at the next level, but could probably be used as a linebacker as well. He ran an impressive 4.7 40-yard-dash, and benched 30 reps of 225 pounds at the Combine. He fits the Belichick mold. 25. Jets Aaron Ross CB Texas Senior 25th SAME 25th / NR If Robert Meachem's still on the board — as projected here — the Jets will have to take a long, hard look at the Tennessee star. That said, cornerback's still the most glaring hole on the Jets roster. Andre Dyson went down last year, forcing names like Hank Poteat and Drew Coleman to get serious action. Ross was arguably the best cornerback in college football last season. In '06, he was the Longhorns defensive leader, intercepting six balls and racking up 80 tackles. He'd start on opening day for New York. 26. Eagles Robert Meachem WR Tennessee Junior 28th (+2) 26th / NR Andy Reid and co. rarely take offensive players in the early rounds of the draft, but will need to consider taking whichever top wideout slips to them at 26 in April. One of the big names — Ginn, Jarrett, Bowe, Rice or Meachem — will likely be around by the time Philly's on the clock. With Donte Stallworth signing with New England, the Eagles are left with Reggie Brown and Greg Lewis as their top targets. That won't cut it. Meachem ran a 4.39 40 and had arguably the best combine of any of the wide receivers in Indianapolis ... And that includes Calvin Johnson. 27. Saints Chris Houston CB Arkansas Senior 27th SAME 27th / NR New Orleans beefed up its defense through free agency by signing former Bengals Brian Simmons and Kevin Kaesviharn. Even so, there's still a bit of uncertainty at cornerback. Houston's draft stock skyrocketed at the Combine. The former Razorback ran a mind-numbing 4.32 40, and benched 225 pounds 27 times — the most of any of the defensive backs in Indianapolis. A standout in '06 for the SEC West Champions, Houston could likely start in front of Fred Thomas and Jason Craft as soon as next year. 28. Patriots Michael Griffin S Texas Senior 30th (+2) 25th / NR Injuries have sidelined Rodney Harrison over the past few seasons, and in the twilight of his career, New England may look to add depth to the safety position. Griffin was an All-Big 12 performer in '06, and was known around the college ranks as one of the most effective tacklers in the game. As a senior, he recorded 116 tackles for the Longhorns. Let Harrison show him the ropes, and you have New England's hard-hitting, lights-out safety of the future. 29. Ravens Justin Blalock OT Texas Senior 29th SAME 22nd / NR For a minute there, it seemed like Michael Bush may be sneaking into the first round to Baltimore. And then the Ravens went out and traded for Willis McGahee. I think they go lineman, here. Blalock's an All-Big 12 performer who played in several important games as a collegiate star. Able to likely play tackle or guard, the 6-4 330 pound force makes sense at 29. 30. Chargers Brandon Meriweather S Miami Senior NR 30th / NR Arguably the top coverage safety in this draft, Meriweather may go higher than 30. On the other hand, if character issues play a role, he could slip out of the first round. Meriweather, who has since apologized for the incident, was famously caught on film stomping on a defenseless player during the Miami-FIU brawl last season. Terrence Kiel's departure from San Diego opens up a spot at the safety position. Meriweather has the skills to start as soon as next season. But is he worth the risk? 31. Bears Greg Olsen TE Miami Junior 16th (-15) 16th / NR Chicago brass would be delighted to see Miami's latest tight end prospect slip to 31. Olsen stole the show at the Combine, out-dueling Arizona State's Zach Miller in just about every head-to-head competition. The kid from Jersey ran a 4.45 40-yard dash and had a solid day catching the ball. Though he underwhelmed in his junior season, he'll likely still be the first tight end taken in the draft come April. Desmond Clark's still a fabulous tight end, but he isn't getting any younger. Adding some depth to the position can't hurt. 32. Colts Brandon Siler LB Florida Junior 32nd SAME 24th / NR Nick Harper's gone. So are Dominic Rhodes and Brandon Stokley. Cato June may be gone soon too. The Colts may be in the old "Best Player Available" spot come the 32nd pick. Some possibilities? Daymeion Hughes, Sidney Rice, Tony Ugoh -- the list goes on. I see them going with Siler, a three-year contributor for the Gators who served as the defensive leader on a loaded BCS Title winning unit.

Sorry if this is a bit early, but when do y'all typically set out swarm traps? April? July?
Sorry if this is a bit early, but when do y'all typically set out swarm traps? April? July?
In Kentucky, put them out in mid to late March.
I leave most of mine out, just check them in March for the season. Check about every 10 days to 2 weeks after that. Swarms may move in from early April until mid September.
Ok, sounds like here. Thanks!
I use single 10 frame deep. Old ones that are no longer used in the yards. I place 2 old brood combs, and one frame foundation, place brood combs against one side wall, and the foundation frame will normally keep them from dropping their own combs. Migratory top. 3 or 4 drops of lemongrass oil. Entrance reduced to about 1/2. Hives are placed on plastic agriculture tubs and are slick so mice cannot climb up them. They are about 3 ft off the ground.
I have out about 50 catcher boxes, over a 15 mile radius but, we don't have a lot of feral bees, and there are no other beekeepers anywhere close to me. I normally catch from 10 to 15 each year. This year I got 11.
I sell bees, mostly 5 frame nucs in 10 frame equipment, so, I split my brood stock in order to make up 125 nucs, therefore my bees are rarely large enough to swarm from my own stock. What I catch are feral bees, from locations that I have caught from before. I do not know where most of the bees come from or I would trap starts from them. Obviously there are colonies in this area that I do not know about. I know about 4 colonies, but, they do not want them removed, so I set out traps nearby, and I normally get 2 or 3 from these. I am near a National Park and some likely come from the woods there in the Park.
Hope this helps.
March 1st here. We have an occasional swarm in February. I had an off year, only thirty caught. The caught bees and cutout bees sure do put package bees to shame. I had only bought five packages three other times, and 25 this year. Never again. The package queens from three different suppliers were worthless. Later this summer I bought 25 additional queens between four different suppliers and disappointed in them also.
Of course a guy who keeps his bees on the roof of an apartment in the middle of a big city wouldn't know that.
In Cheyenne I'd put them out on May Day... here I'd put them out between mid April and May Day... but even as late as mid May they would still be useful.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
In louisville there are lots of feral hives, more than you'de imagine. We have many old big trees with holes and houses. I see honey bees just about everywhere I go in Louisville and Southern Indiana. Some of my hives came from a black queen tearout, not many folks buy black queen nucs/packages. The black queens have much lower population of mites than my buddies italians, almost a 4x difference in drop rate.
What size box has the best success 5 or 10-frame nuc? Does it matter? I picked up 6 ez-nucs. I plan to smear the propolis and wax on the inside add old warped comb and painting them to make totally opaque, putting them in the trees. There are also several large pines behind. Should I put some further away, say 100-200 yards in the front yard or waste of time?
These are the trees, what do you think? Hangem em from the branches, maybe put one on the gazebo, ivy covered fence or chimney?
You're not that old, don't quit us just yet! Ollie needs you!


text: Funding increase sought to help campuses meet needs The MTA is ramping up efforts to boost state funding for community colleges, state universities and UMass, which have been hit hard by budget cuts in recent years. Over the last decade, state aid to public higher education has been reduced by 42 percent at the same time that student enrollment has reached an all-time high. In fiscal year 2010, Massachusetts ranked 48th out of the 50 states in terms of state and local fiscal support for public higher education as a share of personal income. At a time when public dollars are scarce, every voice is needed to send the message to legislators who will be shaping the state budget in the upcoming months. "It's penny-wise and pound-foolish not to invest in our public higher education institutions," said Joe LeBlanc, who serves as chairman of the MTA Higher Education Leadership Council and president of the Massachusetts Community College Council. "We drive the state's economy and contribute to its workforce. There is no question of our value — we are the fuel." A lobby day promoting public higher education was held on Thursday, March 8, at the State House. On that day, key stakeholders representing all factions of public higher education — labor, management and students — joined forces to advocate for increased funding. This was the first time — or at least the first time in years — that all of the sectors of public higher education were present and spreading the same message at the same time. "We are in a desperate situation," said MTA Executive Committee member Max Page, who is a professor at UMass Amherst. "We all need to make the case to stop the cuts and start reinvesting in Massachusetts public higher education." HELC, which is composed of officers representing all of the public higher ed sectors, has endorsed the lobby day as well as a legislation package. The legislation covers a range of issues, including increasing the number of full-time faculty members, offering pension benefits and access to health insurance to part-time instructors who teach a specified number of courses, and streamlining the legislative process for approving collective bargaining agreements for state employees. Classified Staff Union President Shauna Manning emphasized the real need for everyone with a stake in public higher education to get involved in the fight for more funding. She urged everyone, including the new president of the UMass system, to take part in the effort. "Please work with us to help secure additional funding," said Manning, who represents education support professionals working on the UMass Boston campus. "All of us working together for a common purpose should be our core mission — instead of some of us fighting for the crumbs. "We all need to get on the same page if we want lasting improvements," she added. "For too long, we've been fighting for short-term solutions, instead of looking at the big picture and figuring out how we are going to improve." The governor has just submitted his budget proposal, which marks the beginning of a long and involved process. Debate will unfold in both the House of Representatives and the state Senate over the next several months and will likely end by July 1, the first day of the new fiscal year.

The Rochester Rattlers edged the Long Island Lizards 17-15 at James M. Shuart Stadium at Hofstra University on Saturday, July 7. Steven Boyle was named the Bud Light Player of the game with three goals and two assists. Jordan MacIntosh scored three goals, giving him 13 goals in the past three games. The Rattlers beat the Lizards for the second night in the row Saturday; sweeping the Lizards on the season. Last year, the Rattlers dropped both games to the Lizards.
Click here for the complete statistics.
The Lizards struck first at 4:17 when Matt Gibson scored a left-handed goal from outside the goalie crease. The Lizards scored again at 4:46 when Tommy Palasek finished a shot in front of the net off of a pass from Brian Langtry. The two man tandem scored again at 6:03 when Langtry netted a low ball off of a short pass from Palasek. Gibson scored his second of the quarter at 13:05 after stepping up to the goal line and getting a low shot past Goalie John Galloway. Rattler Stephen Boyle scored the Rattler's first goal in transition at 14:17. At 14:46 Rattler Matt Striebel scored a 2-point goal from 17 yards on a powerplay caused by Chris Passavia illegal body check. The Rattlers finished the quarter with the momentum, despite trailing 3-4.
Lizard Greg Gurenlian won the opening faceoff for the second quarter and immediately passed it to Palasek who scored only seven seconds in. The Rattlers answered quickly when Dan Hardy scored off a shot on the low left side of the cage that sent it to the right corner. The Rattlers scored again at 4:09 when Roy Lang finished a wide open shot goal off of a Ned Crotty passes from behind the net. Jordan MacIntosh scored at 7:08 on a shot in front of the goalie's crease. Lizard Max Seibald scored an unassisted goal off of a shot from 10 yards at 7:59. Dan Hardy scored a no look shot from behind the back in front of the goal for the Rattlers at 11:56. Lizard Albert Maione was flagged with a unsportmanlike conduct personal foul at 13:07. Maione was penalized for a total of six minutes between the second and third quarters. The Rattlers lead after the first half 7-6.
The Rattlers opened up the scoring in the third quarter when MacIntosh scored at 1:10 off of a short pass to the middle from Boyle. At 2:20 Boyle scored his second goal of the night after working his away from around the back side of the goal to the front and turned and scored. The Rattlers scored their third unanswered goal of the second half off a shot from six yards by MacIntosh at 4:39. Crotty scored his first goal of the night at 8:07 with a goal after rolling around the crease and dropped his stick for a low shot that sunk to the back of the net. Maione scored an unassisted goal at 9:00 to end a 17 minute goal drought. The Lizards scored again at 9:56 from a hard shot 10 yards out by Stephen Peyser. At 13:08 Brad Ross scored a 2-point goal from the top off a Boyle pass. Peyser answered with two unassisted 2-point goals of his own at 13:39 and 14:20. The Rattlers lead 13-12 after 45 minutes, but Peyser's goals shifted the momentum towards the Lizards.
All-Star Joel White scored his 4th goal on the season 11 seconds into the fourth quarter. Rattler Rob Rotanz scored an unassisted goal at 1:32, and Will Koshansky netted another from a Steve DeNapoli pass at 2:01. Lizard Grant Catalino beat a Rattlers double team and scored at 4:59, and added on another goal at 6:50. Mainoe scored the third unanswered goal for the Lizards at 10:48. Leading 16-15, Boyle scored a pivotal goal on a shot clock buzzer beater at 13:42. The Rattlers would hold onto the ball for the remaining seconds to secure the win.
The Rattlers next home game is against the Chesapeake Bayhawks on Friday, July 20th at 7 PM. Tickets can be ordered by calling 585.454.5425, or by visiting rochesterrattlers.com.

This may not be the best spot to post this, but it kind of makes sense to put it here in the equipment area.
I have nothing at all yet in the area of extracting equipment.
I am looking to purchase everything I need for extracting.
I am thinking Maxant big time.
From what I have gathered both off memory and read about, I will need some type of uncapping tank, an uncapper (thinking a plane type hand held with a scratcher as backup as needed), and extractor (radial type - electric), buckets (easy to find - I have a perpetual source of free 6 gallon ones with screw on lids), a double screen with some cloth filters, and a bottling tank.
OK fellow beeks...what am I missing? Also, care to give out some favorite model numbers?
Comments are most welcome. Maxant has given me some excellent model numbers but I want outside experienced operator recommendations if possible.
My goal is premium, long life equipment with years of dependable service. I would rether spend more on quality now, than less and have it fail to function when needed or ware out early.

For the Children
Get a bucket ready. When the Community Organizer in Chief announces today how he will use executive orders to circumvent Congress and gut the Second Amendment, he will be surrounded by children used as props. Like his slogan "Forward," the tactic of dressing up tyranny to look like a daycare center was lifted straight from his fellow oligarchical collectivists Hitler and Stalin:
Not even most Obama voters are dumb enough to think that disarming the law-abiding will make children or anyone else other than criminals any safer. What decent person would take the gun out of the hands of Melinda Herman?
Yet we have to endure the nauseating charade of our rulers pretending they are only snuffing out the liberty that defines us as Americans for our own good — and of course for the good of the children, who can look forward to a lifetime of debt thanks to those same rulers.

Arndt and Beate
We had lovely days in Amsterdam! The Caravan is really cosy and the location is awesome. We will definitely come back to this place!
The cosy caravan is really very cosy! Everything is clean, nice and friendly. It's well located too. The way by bike to the ferry is not to far and idyllic. We loved the breakfast, Just prepared and beyond that, he is a wonderful host, very pleasant and helpful with good recommendations.
Thanks a lot for this nice place!
We had an amazing time in Amsterdam and in the caravan. We think that the caravan is the best place to stay in Amsterdam because it always felt like home when we came back to the caravan after our trips to the city (easily reachable by bus). The caravan is really sweet and you find everything you need there. It is furnished with much love, so you directly feel comfortable. We will recommend the caravan and if we visit Amsterdam the next time, we would love to stay here again! In addition to that the breakfast was great and tasty!
We were entirely happy with our decision to visit Amsterdam and to stay in the caravan! Thank you Just and Elvira!
We spent 4 wonderful days in Amsterdam. Just is a very nice host, always ready to help. The caravan ist well furnished and cosy.
The location is great: in a quiet neighbourhood, but the town centre it easily reached by bus. There is also a supermarket very close.
We can fully recommend a stay in Justs caravan!
we stayed 3 nights and it was really nice.
The host Just was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was really delicious!
Thank you very much!
We enjoyed some very nice and relaxing days in Just's lovely caravan. We felt very welcome by him and his wife. The caravan has everything you need and is only about 20 minutes from central station with the bus. Another bonus is the supermarket that is just next door.
We are very thankful for the awesome time in Amsterdam and the great accommodation. We can really advise staying at Just's caravan!
We stayed 3 nights in his caravan and it was better than anyone can expect.
The host Just was very nice and helpful, asked us beforehand what we would like for breakfast and we could choose whatever we want, perfect!
The caravan is located behind his house and a small river is right behind it, pretty nice. The caravan itsfelf is cozy, clean and provides enough room for 2 people.
Also, Just gave us two bikes which we could use. Perfect to get to the ferry in about 15 minutes. The ferry runs every 15 minutes or so to the Amsterdam Central Station for free.
Overall it was a great stay and we would absolutely recommend it. If we ever stay in Amsterdam again this is our first choice. We couln't ask for more.
Thank you very much!
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

Ultimate Gentleman: Ultra Music Festival, Nymphomaniac and Diablo III

Ultra Music Festival, Nymphomaniac and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls make this week's Ultimate Gentleman list.

Festival season isn't in full swing yet, but that doesn't mean you have to wait until Bonnaroo or Coachella to get your fix! Ultra Music Festival will be in Miami, Florida March 28 to 30, bringing you the hottest names in the DJ world and beyond for its Miami flagship event featuring DJ sets from Diplo, Avicii, Nicky Romero, Zedd and David Guetta. Live headliners this year include MGMT, M.I.A., Pusha T and Cut/Copy. Three-day passes are going for $400 and are almost sold out. Can't make it to Miami? Ultra has teamed up with 7 Up to once again live stream the event. Last year the international online experience drew over 11 million viewers, so whatever they have in store for us this year is bound to be amazing! Find all of this and more at UltraMusicFestival.com.
With the polar vortex almost gone for good, all of those spring and summer weddings are almost upon us! Ditch your lame old tie and invest in a handmade necktie. One design house of note is New England's General Knot & Co., which creates limited-edition handmade neckwear and accessories using vintage and dead stock fabrics dating as far back as the 1940s. We're really enjoying their spring collection full of vibrant colors, floral patterns and dark tones for more formal events. Each piece is handcrafted in the United States and goes for an average of $90. See all of their lines on GeneralKnot.com.
No pressure, but the future is here. Like right now. Since we saw wireless chargers heavily integrated at the CES 2012 booths, we've been very excited for them to hit the market in a big (and affordable) way. Enter Glowdeck. It's got everything you'd want from a wireless charger and it looks sharp to boot. It lets you play music, take calls with Bluetooth and even control it with vocal commands, and the under glow is also customizable for notifications and even rave-centric light shows to your music. The Glowdeck comes in four finishes and goes for upwards of $200. Find out more on Kickstarter.com.
Volume One and Volume Two of Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac are now available on iTunes/OnDemand for your viewing pleasure. Starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgård, Stacy Martin, Shia LaBeouf and Christian Slater, this steamy second installment hits theaters on April 4 but is available online now. Writes acclaimed film reviewer Stephen Rebello,"Don't rush to Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier's latest cinematic provocation expecting a cheap erotic thrill or two, because the director's saga about a nymphomaniac named Joe is anything but. Very funny, wacky, cringe-inducing, twisted, troubling and graphic, yes, but sexy? No." He adds, "The sardonic, slow-burn movie gives us Charlotte Gainsbourg, in a deeply inscrutable performance, as a woman who relentlessly and desperately pursues sex the way a junkie chases the high, without gaining much pleasure or insight from it." Rebello gave the controversial film three out of four stars, making it a definite must-see for cinephiles. Find it online at NymphomaniacTheMovie.com.

Platform: PlayStation 2
Release Date: September 2005
Developer: The Collective
Publisher: Atari, Inc.
Category: Third-Person Action/Adventure
ESRB Rating: Rating Pending
Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure promises to be an homage to graffiti's rich culture. Told through an alternate reality in a futuristic universe, the game represents the culmination of seven years of story and character development by fashion pioneer Marc Ecko, the visionary behind several of today's most respected youth lifestyle brands.
In a world where graffiti has been banned and freedom of expression has been suppressed by a tyrannical city government, an unlikely hero rises to win back his neighborhood and become an urban legend of the city of New Radius . Play as Trane, a "toy" (beginner) graffiti artist with the street-smarts, athletic prowess and vision necessary to become an "All City King," the most reputable of all graffiti artists. The sport of graffiti flows through his veins as he risks his life navigating vertical landscapes while battling rival crews, a corrupt Mayor and the city's Civil Conduct Keepers (CCK) all in an effort to reach the sweet spots of New Radius where a well-placed tag brings respect and reputation.
In your quest to become a legendary graffiti artist, you realize that an oppressive Mayor has a stranglehold on the city of New Radius , and you must use all of your high-wire graffiti talents to expose him and set the city free.
Product Description
The story's " Get In , Get Up and Get Out " gameplay mechanic offers gamers an arsenal of swift sneak and street fighting abilities to GET IN restricted areas of New Radius and battle through the city's rough streets; the dexterity and agility needed to scale any object, GET UP and place graffiti tags, spreading the message of rebellion; and the ingenuity to evade, escape and GET OUT .
As Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure story unfolds, you'll be given specific objectives to complete for a mission victory. These include graffiti-under-pressure scenarios, navigational challenges, stealth/sneak style missions, and fast-action battle sequences. You can also explore each level to discover a series of mini-games and challenges for additional hours of gameplay.
Product Features :
World famous hip-hop artist Talib Kweli as the voice for lead-character, Trane;
A revolutionary, deep storyline written by Marc Ecko poses the question "What if graffiti could change the world?," demonstrating the struggle against authority while seeking to save a neighborhood from an oppressive city government;
Authentic tags from more than 50 actual graffiti artists from all over the world - six of whom are characters in the game including Cope 2, FUTURA, OBEY: Shepard Fairey, Seen, Smith and T-kid and will teach Trane their specialties to add to his arsenal of graffiti tools;
11 distinct metropolis-style environments of New Radius with 20 levels to complete;
Revolutionary graffiti gameplay system designed to hone your skills as you get your message up. New Radius is your canvas as you tag with Aerosol, Rollers, Markers, Wheat Paste, Stickers and Stencils;
Ability to use a variety of different graffiti tags, including stencils, stickers, posters and throw-ups;
Special fighting mechanics – combine kicking, grappling and punching moves along with improvised weaponry;
Graffiti intuition system which allows Trane to locate ideal places to tag within each environment;
A digital "black book" to unlock new tags and abilities, and store pictures and tags of graffiti legends Trane encounters along the way;
Extremely responsive enemy A.I. mechanics;
Lessons in graffiti evolution – watch Trane grow from "toy" to "All City King" as his graffiti style and the state of graffiti in New Radius evolve over the course of the game. Start in a 1980's train culture scene where subways were prime targets for gaining fame and continue to an exaggerated version of the silver-train era when "Take Back the City" was the city's battle cry, and extreme use of anti-graffiti tactics was rampant.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by CATCH17, Jan 8, 2013.
Ray Horton, Lovie Smith, Eric Mangini, Romeo Crennell, Dave Wannstedt.. Who else?
Eberflues maybe, seems like stretch to me though.
Doesnt match with the "change of philosophy" comment.
Lovie gets my vote. In fact he can have the HC job if he would rather have it as far as I'm concerned.
If we are bringing in Norv, we might as well bring in Wannstedt :laugh2:
I think I'd poop my pants.
What about these folks.....Mike Singletary,(Vikings) Ken Norton Jr. (sea-hawks) Jim Tomsula(49ers) Rod Marinelli (bears) Kevin Green (Packers)
Here's one that's very, very, VERY far fetched. How about Butch Davis?
Garrets little brother
Give me Lovie or Wandstedt out of those choices. I am ready to get back to the 4 - 3.
Monti Kiffin
Mike Zimmer? Asst head coach?
Wasn't there a real fiery guy who was a position coach for the 49'ers? He was given some consideration for a HC or coordinator a little while back.
Perhaps former Jets coordinator Mike Pettine?
Mike Pettine is an option as well.
If available, Lovie Smith please. I would think his personality would mesh with Garrett.
He'll be the head coach in Philly or SD.
How about Monte Kiffin? He taught Lovie Smith in Tampa.
Garrett still has one brother not employed by the team. I would start there, then move the search on to the Garrett families in-laws, from there I would start looking at the Garretts families cousins, before finally exhausting my search by looking at the Garrett families 2nd cousins.
Romeo Crennell and IMO it isn't even close.
Let's look at possible 3-4 candidates should the Cowboys stick with that scheme but employ a different look.
Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton was on Jason Garrett's radar as a secondary coach two years ago – not coordinator – but he has become a head-coaching candidate in two years of running the Cardinals defense. He learned from Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau, Pittsburgh's zone-blitz architect, and would have pieces in place to run that style here.
Romeo Crennel comes from the Bill Parcells' coaching tree. He has Super Bowl experience. Players love playing for him and he keeps the scheme interesting. He has had two tries as a head coach and it hasn't worked out, but his style might fit well with Garrett.
Could the Cowboys look to the college ranks for a coordinator? Garrett worked with Todd Grantham, Georgia's defensive coordinator when Grantham coached the Cowboys defensive line under Wade Phillips. Grantham has an attacking style and has a defense that is filled with NFL-ready players. Given his SEC ties, he could provide some good insight on players in the draft. He also has NFL coordinator experience (Cleveland) and, like Garrett, worked for Nick Saban.

It seems the renovations were a success. The Prince Course at Princeville Golf Club has been named the No. 1-ranked course in Hawaii, according to GOLF Magazine's biennial "2012 Best Courses You Can Play" list.
The Prince was not alone in its recognition, as Kaua'i Visitors Bureau announced that all five of the courses designated in the Kaua'i golf resort lifestyle destination co-operative made the list.
You don't have to go far from the Prince to find the next-best course, with Princeville Makai Golf Club coming in at No. 5.
Heading down the east side leads to Kaua'i Lagoons Golf Club at No. 7, immediately followed by Poipu Bay Golf Club at No. 8. Puakea Golf Club rounds out the impressive list at No. 17.
"We are thrilled to once again have our golf courses included in these prestigious rankings," said Sue Kanoho, executive director of Kaua'i Visitors Bureau, in a press release. "Kaua'i provides an amazing collection of unforgettable courses and resorts, and honors such as these further solidify the island as one of the best golf destinations not only in the state of Hawaii, but in the world."
The distinction for The Prince comes after it reopened its course in March on the heels of a 15-month-long renovation project headed up by Robert Trent Jones Jr., who is something of a trailblazer and standard-setter in golf course design. I've always been intimidated by the Prince for its reputation as a humbling experience for some of us less-experienced hackers, but they widened some fairways and reconfigured the green contours to "promote a more enjoyable experience for players of all levels."
Translation: Fewer four-letter words and a safer afternoon for my club heads.
Not only did The Prince top the list of more than 90 courses around the state, but it also came in at No. 16 in the magazine's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play."

A computerized tomography (CT) coronary angiogram is an imaging test that looks at the arteries that supply your heart with blood. Unlike traditional coronary angiograms, CT angiograms don't use a catheter threaded through your blood vessels to your heart.
Instead, a CT coronary angiogram relies on a powerful X-ray machine to produce images of your heart and its blood vessels. CT angiograms are noninvasive and don't require any recovery time. Coronary CT angiograms are increasingly an option for people with a variety of heart conditions.
Both CT and traditional coronary angiograms expose you to radiation. If you have known coronary artery disease, a traditional coronary angiogram may be a better option, since you can also receive treatment for your coronary artery disease during that procedure.
A coronary CT angiogram is a test that can check your heart for various conditions, but it's primarily used to check for narrowed arteries in your heart (coronary artery disease) that could explain chest pain or could put you at risk of a heart attack.
Coronary CT angiograms are sometimes used instead of traditional coronary angiograms to check for coronary artery disease. A CT angiogram may be better than a traditional angiogram for people who have only a moderate risk of coronary artery disease.
Typically, when your doctor needs to check for blockages in your heart's arteries, he or she will perform a coronary angiogram. In a coronary angiogram, a catheter is inserted in an artery in your groin and threaded through your blood vessels to your heart. Dye that's visible on X-rays is then injected through the catheter, and X-ray images of your heart are taken.
Your doctor can see blockages and areas of narrowing in your heart's arteries on the images. Because the catheter is near your heart, if blockages are found, your doctor can perform a procedure called angioplasty to open your blockages after a traditional angiogram. However, many people who have coronary angiograms don't have any blockages.
In a CT angiogram, no catheter has to be placed in your groin, and the dye that's visible on the CT scan is injected through an intravenous (IV) line that's placed in your hand or arm. X-ray images are still taken of your heart. However, because no catheter is used, if you need treatment to improve blood flow to the heart, you'll need a separate procedure (a traditional coronary angiogram) to treat your condition.
A test that's similar to CT angiogram is a coronary calcium scan. This test uses a special type of computerized tomography to check for calcium in your coronary arteries, which can be a risk factor for coronary artery disease. No dye is injected during a coronary calcium scan.
Because CT angiograms use an X-ray machine to take pictures of your heart, you will be exposed to some radiation during the test. The amount of radiation varies depending on the type of machine used.
With the most common type of X-ray machines, the radiation you're exposed to during the test is about the same as the average American is naturally exposed to over one to five years. The risk that you could develop cancer from the radiation you receive during a CT angiogram is not known exactly, but is very small.
Because radiation can harm an unborn child, you shouldn't have a CT angiogram if you're pregnant.
It's also possible that you could have an allergic reaction to the dye used in the procedure. Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about having an allergic reaction.
Your doctor should give you instructions about how to prepare for your CT angiogram. Usually, you'll be asked not to eat anything for about four hours before your test.
You can drink water, but avoid caffeinated drinks before your test, because they can speed up your heart rate. This can make it difficult for your doctor to get clear pictures of your heart.
You can drive yourself to the appointment, and you'll be able to drive home or to work after your test.
CT angiograms are usually performed in the radiology department of a hospital or an outpatient imaging facility.
Just before you begin your scan, you'll need to remove clothing above your waist, as well as any jewelry. You'll change into a hospital gown.
Because your heart's constantly in motion while it beats, your doctor may give you a medication called a beta blocker, which will slow your heart rate. This will allow the doctor to see your heart more clearly. Some people have side effects from beta blockers, such as shortness of breath or wheezing in some people with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Let your health care provider know if you've had side effects from beta blockers in the past.
Some newer CT machines can be used without slowing the heart rate down. However, when beta blockers can be used, a slowed heart rate generally produces the clearest CT images.
A technician will insert an intravenous (IV) line in your hand or arm to inject the dye that will make your heart's arteries visible on the images taken by the CT scanner. You'll receive some numbing medication before the IV is inserted. Although the actual scanning portion of the test takes as few as 5 seconds, it may take up to an hour for the whole process because beta blockers need time to slow your heart rate sufficiently.
The technician will place some electrodes on your chest to record your heart rate throughout the exam. When you're ready to be scanned, you'll lie on a long table that slides through a short, doughnut-like machine.
During the test, an X-ray tube will move rapidly around your chest to take images of your heart from many different angles. You won't see the tube moving.
A technician will operate the machine from a room that's separated from your exam room by a glass window. There will be an intercom system the technician can use to talk to you.
It's important to stay as still as possible and hold your breath during the scanning portion of the exam. Any movement can blur the X-ray images.
After your CT angiogram is completed, you can return to your normal daily activities. You should be able to drive yourself home or to work.
The images from your CT angiogram should be ready soon after your test. Usually, the doctor who asked you to have a CT angiogram should discuss the results of the test with you.
Based on the results of your test, your doctor will discuss with you whether you have a heart condition that needs treatment, whether you're at risk of developing heart disease, and steps you can take to keep your heart healthy. Treatments may vary, depending on what condition your doctor suspects you have.
Regardless of the results of your test, it's a good idea to make lifestyle changes to help protect your heart. These include:

|Summary File 3 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Housing Characteristics -> Units in Structure
The data on units in structure (also referred to as "type of structure") were obtained from answers to long-form questionnaire Item 34, which was asked on a sample basis at both occupied and vacant housing units. A structure is a separate building that either has open spaces on all sides or is separated from other structures by dividing walls that extend from ground to roof. In determining the number of units in a structure, all housing units, both occupied and vacant, are counted. Stores and office space are excluded. The statistics are presented for the number of housing units in structures of specified type and size, not for the number of residential buildings.
1-unit, detached
This is a 1-unit structure detached from any other house; that is, with open space on all four sides. Such structures are considered detached even if they have an adjoining shed or garage. A 1-family house that contains a business is considered detached as long as the building has open space on all four sides. Mobile homes to which one or more permanent rooms have been added or built also are included.
1-unit, attached
This is a 1-unit structure that has one or more walls extending from ground to roof separating it from adjoining structures. In row houses (sometimes called townhouses), double houses, or houses attached to nonresidential structures, each house is a separate, attached structure if the dividing or common wall goes from ground to roof.
2 or more units
These are units in structures containing 2 or more housing units, further categorized as units in structures with 2, 3 or 4, 5 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 49, and 50 or more units.
Mobile home
Both occupied and vacant mobile homes to which no permanent rooms have been added are counted in this category. Mobile homes used only for business purposes or for extra sleeping space and mobile homes for sale on a dealers lot, at the factory, or in storage are not counted in the housing inventory. In 1990, the category was "mobile home or trailer."
Boat, RV, van, etc
This category is for any living quarters occupied as a housing unit that does not fit in the previous categories. Examples that fit in this category are houseboats, railroad cars, campers, and vans.
Data on units in structure have been collected since 1940 and on mobile homes and trailers since 1950. In 1970 and 1980, these data were shown only for year-round housing units. A category of "other" was used in 1990, but this category was greatly overstated. It was replaced by "Boat, RV, van, etc." in Census 2000. A similar category, "Boat, tent, van, etc." was used in 1980. In Census 2000, this question was asked on a sample basis. In 1990 and prior to 1980, the unit in structure question was asked on a 100-percent basis. In 1980, data on units at address were collected on a 100-percent basis and data on units in structure were collected on a sample basis. The 1980 data on "units at address" should not be used a proxy for "units in structure" because some multiunit buildings had more than one street address.

|Social Explorer, U.S. Census Bureau; 2000 Census of Population and Housing, Summary File 3: Technical Documentation, 2002.
|Summary File 3 Technical Documentation -> Appendix B. Definitons of Subject Characteristics -> Population Characteristics -> Race -> American Indian or Alaska Native
A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintain tribal affiliation or community attachment. It includes people who classified themselves as described below.
American Indian
This category includes people who indicated their race as "American Indian," entered the name of an Indian tribe, or reported such entries as Canadian Indian, French American Indian, or Spanish American Indian.
American Indian tribe
Respondents who identified themselves as American Indian were asked to report their enrolled or principal tribe. Therefore, tribal data in tabulations reflect the written entries reported on the questionnaires. Some of the entries (for example, Iroquois, Sioux, Colorado River, and Flathead) represent nations or reservations. The information on tribe is based on self-identification and therefore does not reflect any designation of federally or state-recognized tribe. Information on American Indian tribes is presented in summary files. The information for Census 2000 is derived from the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census that was updated based on a December 1997, Federal Register Notice, entitled " Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Service From the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs," Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Alaska Native
This category includes written responses of Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians as well as entries such as Arctic Slope, Inupiat, Yupik, Alutiiq, Egegik, and Pribilovian. The Alaska tribes are the Alaskan Athabascan, Tlingit, and Haida. The information for Census 2000 is based on the American Indian Tribal Classification List for the 1990 census, which was expanded to list the individual Alaska Native Villages when provided as a written response for race.

Eagles applied the franchise tag to free agent WR DeSean Jackson.

"We want DeSean to be an Eagle for the long
haul and this is a step ... to accomplish that," announced GM Howie
Roseman. "We will continue our efforts on getting a long-term deal done
with him." We wouldn't hold our breath on that one. The Eagles are
reportedly open to trade offers on Jackson, though the most likely
scenario is a return to Philadelphia at $9.5 million, perhaps after
missing offseason workouts in protest. If Jackson shows improved
attitude and production, the Eagles can then reward him with a long-term
deal in November.

Re: Christmas music?
Was it his Christmas 'with bells on'? The only one i found 2011 was the first emission.
Jamie Oliver�s Xmas With Bells On, Episode 1
Commission by Fresh One Productions.
�Grandscale Music composed the titles music and incidental graphic bed tracks for 2011 Jamie Oliver�s Xmas special � �Jamie�s Christmas with Bells On�. We were looking for something with a retro vibe, using real instruments and a warm feelgood attitude and composer Luke worked brilliantly to our brief. He created a fantastic range of beds for us to use within the two shows � he is the ultimate multi instrumentalist and was able to deliver a multitude of ideas very quickly. His work was contemporary, playful, really melodic and he adapted to our ever changing ideas with speed, ease and friendliness. Lovely job!!!! Hope we can work together again very soon.�

Re: Christmas music?
Thanks for your answer however no, that's not it. I think it might have been Jamie's Family Christmas where they have fireworks at the end. When I looked on utube the music playing was "It's the most wonderful time of the year" - I thought it was the song I had described above. Hmph...I guess I have another 10 months till next Christmas so will keep looking.

Re: Christmas music?
Rachel, did you find the Christmas song you were looking for?
I remember Andy Williams' when it aired in the States in 2010 on the Cooking Channel.
The Region 4 DVD has "Come Along It's Christmas Time" - you can have a listen here:

We need a sticky thread for this. It would be great to have a resource out there.

I sprang from my mother's womb decades ago in a city even hotter than this scorching desert: Palm Springs, Ca. A city filled with gays, old people, and old gays. This is why you can catch me at any gay bar or early bird special in town, but make no mistake gentlemen- I am straight. At 10 yrs old, my mom enrolled me in ballet to turn me into a lady, but it didn't work. Instead, I got my first taste of metal hearing Rammenstein's "Du Hast" during a break in class. It was like seeing a unicorn mating with a Pegasus. I have been rocking at Warped Tour, Coachellafest and every hardcore show I could in SoCal. I came to finish school at NMSU because I wasn't into selling my body on a street corner to afford college in California. Being loud and talkative didn't make me a good server, but it did help catch Courtney Nelson's ear when he came in. Instead of being a bad tipper, he offered an internship working at the most kick ass radio station, KLAQ. From there, Kevin Vargas added me on to the Morning Show to harass Buzz Adams everyday. Games On!!!

I reprinted this from a website by herbalist Stephen Buhner. His book Healing Lyme discusses a lot of the science behind apitherapy in treatment of Lyme Disease (he recommends using herbs instead since most folks dont want beestings, but still has high marks for it). The following was to be an appendix to the book as he says.
I'm really interested in the venom extraction process that he describes which involves mild electrical shock to bees. ANyone know more about the device he's describing?
by the way, it was difficult to give a direct link to the web site because the original site uses frames and is mostly about something completely unrelated to the book (ie New Age type spiritual stuff, not medicine)
Apis and Bi-edta in the treatment of Lyme disease - article
By Stephen Harrod Buhner
Copyright © 2005 Stephen Harrod Buhner
This article was originally intended to be included in my book on Lyme disease:
Healing Lyme, as an appendix. Due to space considerations, it was deleted and is published here for those who are interested.
As research into borrelia treatment continues, increasing numbers of natural substances will be tested for activity against the organism and, over time, more potent herbal and natural treatments will be discovered. To date there are two substances other than antibiotics that have been tested and are active against Lyme borrelia organisms: melittin from bee venom, also known as apis, and BI-EDTA (bismuth). This is a brief look at their actions and potential uses.
Both of these substances are hard to find, both have potentially serious side effects if used inappropriately, nevertheless both, especially apis, have been used effectively in clinical practice. Apis has the longest tradition of use and in spite of nervousness about its use among both herbalists and physicians, historical and contemporary clinical outcomes with apis are excellent and side effects extremely uncommon. Please read the side effects section carefully.
Source: Bee venom
Chemical constituents: 40-50% of bee venom is melittin. Bee venom also contains a number of other compounds: apamin, mast-cell degranulation peptide 401, secarpin, tertiapin, adolapin, protease inhibitors, provamine A and B, minimine, cariopep, phospholipase A2, hualuronidase, acid phosphomonoesterase, glucosidase, lysophospholipase, histamine, dopamine, norepinephrine, leutotriens, glucose, fructose, numerous phospholipids, r-aminobutyric acid, B-aminosobutyric acid. Medicinal actions: Melittin is powerfully antibacterial, more potent than many commercial pharmaceuticals, and is anti-inflammatory. It stimulates the hypophyseal-adrenal system and produces cortisone. Melittin also stabilizes the lysosome cell membrane, protecting against inflammation.
Apimin is a mood elevator and anti-inflammatory. It works like melittin to produce cortisone and inhibits the part of the complement system (C3) which is involved in inflammation.
Mast cell degranulating peptide (MDC peptide or peptide 401) is an astonishingly potent anti-inflammatory, 100 times more effective than hydrocortisone in reducing inflammation. It blocks arachidonic acid production and inhibits prostaglandin synthesis. Adolphin is both an anti-inflammatory and pain killer. It inhibits microsomal cyclooxygenase and is 70 times stronger than indomethacin. Adolphin also inhibits platelet lipoxygenase - and thromboxane and prostacycline which are activated during inflammation.
The protease inhibitors in venom inhibit carrageenin, prostaglandin E1, bradykin, and histamine induced inflammations. They also inhibit chymotrypsin and leucine-aminopeptidase.
Bee venom is a potent antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antiinflammatory, and possesses radioprotectant actions. It has been found to exert powerful actions as an antibacterial agent, anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, antirheumatic, in neurodegenerative disease, as a cardiotonic, an antioxidant, and as a diaphoretic and diuretic. It has also been found to be a strong immunological agent, stimulating the body's protective mechanisms against disease. The Eclectic Botanical physicians considered it to be a potent alterative.
An alterative - smilax is one - is generally considered a tonic herb or substance that gradually restores proper function to the body. Historically, the term generally referred to herbs that could cleanse the blood, basically bind- endotoxins, reduce blood toxicity, infections, and skin problems. They gradually alter (hence the name alterative) a pathological condition and restore normal function and capacity.
Current uses in Asia and Europe are primarily focused on the treatment of rheumatic conditions, arthritis, gout, neuralgia, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. Some newer research shows that melittin has a powerful capacity to shrink tumors. History of Apis: Bee venom has at least a 3000 year history of use in China and nearly that long in Japan and Korea. The Romans used it as a powerful pain killer and the ancient Greeks used it as well. It is an integrated element of medical treatment today in China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Russia, Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania), in certain Western European countries (Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France), and is growing in use in South America. It was a regular part of American medical practice, primarily homeopathic and Eclectic Botanical practice from 1847 until World War II. It is still commonly used by homeopaths. In Eclectic Botanical practice a tincture of Apis, taken orally, was used.
The Eclectics used it primarily for healing diseases of the urinary tract, especially when there was a desire to urinate but an inability to do so. A list of conditions for which they used it are: suppression of urine, urethral and cystic irritation, especially with tenesmus; chronic nephritis; cystitis; menorrhagia; amenorrhea; leucorrhea; genital puffiness; labial inflammation; sore throats; dropsy; traumatic injuries of the subcutaneous tissues; rheumatism; subcutaneous inflammations. Dry, hot, red conditions, inflammation of the skin, internal organs, or brain and central nervous system. In general hot, red, or puffy conditions, especially of the mucous membranes and disorders of the urinary tract.
Apis entered the American pharmacopoeia in 1847 through a member of the
Narragansett tribe, "a woman strolling by" as the original source puts it. She suggested its use in the treatment of a 12-year-old boy who had been suffering for some time with a degenerative condition and for which nothing seemed to work. The indigenous peoples of the Americas had a long history of the use of bee stings in healing.
Collection: Originally the whole bee was used, often placed in a closed container which was shaken to "excite their anger." They were then macerated in alcohol and a tincture made for medical use. Nowadays collection is much more benign and controlled.

The polyphonic me
Frustrated by not being able to sing two notes at the same time, musical inventor Beardyman built a machine to allow him to create loops and layers from just the sounds he makes with his voice. Given that he can effortlessly conjure the sound of everything from crying babies to buzzing flies, not to mention mimic pretty much any musical instrument imaginable, that's a lot of different sounds. Sit back and let the wall of sound of this dazzling performance wash over you.

Re: Stiry Fry Recipes
I think you need to narrow the question down somewhat!
Stir frying is a technique, so asking for good stir-fry recipes is like asking for good roasts, bakes, boils or braises.
Here are a couple of websites with good tips on stir-fry techniques:-

500g skinless chicken breast fillets sliced
1 teaspoon crushed garlic (in jar)
½ cup onion sliced
½ small fresh red chilli sliced (optional)
½ cup green capsicum strips
½ cup red capsicum strips
16 snow peas cut in half
½ cup carrots cut in half then in thin slices

1 pinch of sugar
1 pinch of pepper
1 tablespoon cornflour
1¼ cups water
Spread cashews on a baking tray and place under grill until browned (be careful as they burn quickly), leave to one side.
Heat wok or large non-stick frypan and coat with cooking spray, sauté chicken and garlic together until cooked. Place chicken into a bowl and leave to one side. Spray pan again with cooking spray then add the onion, chilli, capsicum, snow peas and carrots, stir 3-5 minutes. Add shallots, stock powder, sauces, sugar and pepper and mix together. Blend cornflour with water and pour into pan, stir well. Add chicken back to pan and cook a couple of minutes more. Once sauce has thickened serve with Basmati rice or noodles.
Sprinkle cashews over top of each serve
Easy Stir Fry
You need:
400g chicken – skinless breasts are good
2 Tblsp oil or spray oil for frying
½ clove of garlic (or ½ tsp from the jar)
¼ tsp chilli
1 tsp minced coriander
(2 Tblsp fresh chopped coriander if you can get it)
1 tsp minced ginger (or 2cm piece of fresh ginger, grated)
some cracked black pepper
1 Tblsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
Vegetables of your choice eg: 1 cup broccoli florets and sliced stem
1 carrot, sliced
1 celery stick, sliced
½ red capsicum, sliced
½ green capsicum, sliced
1 small onion, sliced in wedges
a small tin of sliced water chestnuts
1 cup of rice
Slice the vegetables, put them in a microwave-safe bowl with a little water and cook for 4 minutes on high.
Slice the chicken into strips. Heat a wok or heavy-based frypan. Spray or pour the oil. Cook the chicken on fairly high heat til cooked and golden.
Add the garlic, chilli, minced coriander, ginger, pepper, soy, sesame oil and stir well.
Add the par-cooked veggies with their water, adding a little more water if required so that the wok 'steams' the vegetables right through. If you are using a wok with a lid, pop it on top to simmer while you cook the rice.
Pour the rice into the microwave-safe bowl and add enough hot water to come 1" (2.5cm) above the level of the rice. Cover and microwave on high for 10 minutes. Stir with a fork before serving.
If you have fresh coriander, chop it finely then sprinkle it over the stir fry a few minutes before serving with the rice.
Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry
3/4 lb beef round steak, boneless (12-ozs.)
1 tsp oil
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/8 tsp garlic powder
- dash pepper
2 cups zucchini squash, cut in thin strips
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Trim fat from steak. Sice steak across the grain into thin strips about 1/8 inch wide and 3 inches long (partially frozen meat is easier to slice). Heat oil in frypan. Add beef strips and stirfry over high heat, turning pieces constantly, until beef is no longer red (about 3-5 minutes). Reduce heat. Add carrots, celery, onion, and seasonings. Cover and cook untill carrots are slightly tender (3-4 minutes). Add squash; cook until vegetables are tender-crisp (3-4 minutes). Mix cornstarch and water until smooth. Add slowly to beef mixture, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened and vegetables are coated with a thin glaze.

Gulabi Kheer Mein Ice-cream Faloodoh
Shahi FaloodaLevel : Easy Assembly Time : 15 mins
(Taking photo editing lessons and this is what I have come up with my original pictures)
For the last couple weeks I have posted recipes on my blog. I have been cooking for a very long time and have many more that I will post. This particular one, I will blog today, means a lot to me. As most of you have read that I am not a person with technical knowledge, but there are some people who help me all the time. One such person is my niece who has been very kind to help me work on this venture of mine. She has taken out time from her busy schedule, sometimes on her holidays. While this page was being setup she was always there to do the editing and all that was needed to get this started. Even during my visits to India she is always there for me, to help me out with my shopping and even receiving and dropping me off at the airport. She has done a lot for me. This treat will be my way, in a small way, to thank her for her time and effort that she has put into everything she has done for me. It's her birthday this week. Cheers, Sonali, this one is for you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU…Hope you enjoy this one dear.

As the assessment director for the South Dakota Department of Education, Wade Pogany oversees an increasingly prominent yet polarized aspect of public schools. While data about student learning is valued, not everyone agrees with the methods used to gather that information, or how to analyze it.
So, it was a welcome surprise when Pogany heard praise, even enthusiasm, among the rank and file when his department expanded its state-level writing test last spring.
"I've never seen teachers more excited about a state assessment, I gotta tell you," he says.
Behold, the power of technology, which is altering the landscape of student testing, in much the same way that student testing altered public education decades ago. Interestingly, both fields began modestly and stayed that way for some time.
Technology made it easy to quickly score and return test results, a feature that, in part, drove the standardized test movement into high gear in the late 20th century.
But it wasn't until the past decade that test developers and researchers moved beyond using technology to process information into the deeper but trickier mission of figuring out what a student knows and how to improve instruction.
"In the 1990s, there wasn't a lot of assessment with technology. If there was, it was all around efficiency, so we can do more testing more efficiently," says Michael Russell, associate professor of educational research, measurement, and evaluation at Boston College.
