Stay sleep deprived. I liked both answers.
Cynthia I just walked outside with short sleeve shirt on and it wasn't horribly cold. I think around 1pm would be an excellent time for you to check the amount of honey you have left in your hive. If its low put on your entrance reducer and dump granulated sugar on top of them. Dont worry about it hitting the bees. Just dont leave them open too long today.
Thank everyone! Great info as I am just learning! I specifically mentioned that I was a backyard beekeeper because I do not have any intention of growing to more than 2 or 3 hives. I'm ok with letting the bees do their thing (ie swarm) and my goal, like yours Beregondo, is to support healthy colony of bees with no drug or pesticide treatments and require little or no feeding. I'm truly in the "hobbiest" category and enjoy learning about bees. If I get a few jars of honey out of this, I'd be delighted. All that said, I'm not adverse to doing what I can to help the bees out if it means getting them through winter. I've read that this is the time of year that many hives starve to death. I left their full honey super on heading into winter and if adding a pollen patty now through spring will help get them through - then, I'm in! So, is adding a pollen patty and raw sugar in a windless day w/temps around 40 the right thing, for me, to do at this point? I'm struggling with the decision of whether to risk opening the hive in these still cold temps to feed or just leave them be?
you will be fine. Just dont leave it open longer than needed to check and feed!
I'm trying to produce as many nucs as I can this year to increase my hive count.
Consequently, i want my bees to build up population as soon as possible so that they can be spit to multiply my numbe of hives as many times as possible.
That's why i am feeding patties.
If I were only wanting to let the bees alone and be healthy, and wasn't worried about getting a crop of honey or of more bees to make more colonies form, I wouldn't be feeding patties.
I'd go out this afternoon or tomorrow, and check how much honey my bees have (Tilt the top box on end and peek up the bottom... see how much honey comb is still closed up..if it is too heavy to tilt this way, it has plenty and you don't need to look).
If they have a couple combs, leave them alone for a couple weeks and check again.
Feeding won't hurt them, and if you are not sure, then put a sheet of poaper on the top bars and pour some sugar on it.
If you decide to give them a patty, it is important to keep giving them patties until they are bringing in pollen on their own, so deciding to start is a little bit of a commitment.
Thanks for the replys. I especially liked your input Beregondo. Right now I'm pretty much just a sponge soaking up different approaches. I'm listening to everything and trying to find the common ground that pops up between philosophies. I'm only going to have a couple hives and just want to learn, keep things kinda simple and not make things a headache. I just want to try and keep a decent environment for the bees -- any extra honey will be a plus or reward.
so Cynthia have you figured out from the pollen sub fight when to put it on? I don't use them, but if your hive is heavy enough, put them on, if they don't need or want they won't use them, two things to remember if they use the pollen they need enough honey to feed the brood so you must monitor it, right now the weather is not warm enough to feed sugar water, and if you stimulate the bees to raise more brood early, the mites are also stimulated and your mite count goes up sooner, so monitor that. good luck and keep records so you learn and will have a better idea for next year.

Whatever you subsidize you get more of. Ronald Reagan
It has been at least hinted at in the above, and perhaps someone outright said it, but adult bees do not eat nor do they need pollen. They will not starve for lack of pollen. They can't raise brood without pollen.
If the issue is them starving, there are options as far as feeding, but if the hive is not light I would not worry about it.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
I disagree Michael. The first thing adult bees do when emerging is feed on honey and pollen...or pollen supplement. Adult bees DO consume pollen
rbee does a bee that emerges instantly become an adult? Are those fuzzy little cuties instantly ready for guard duty or foraging? Nah! They need to grow up first to adulthood. They indeed eat pollen to get that done and do nurse bee duties. after that, they do not eat pollen.
Put it on the plate, it's gone, someone ate it.
Adult bees consume pollen in order to convert it to royal jelly and feed brood. But they do not consume pollen for their own needs. Does a newly emerged bee eat some royal jelly out of the brood cells? Probably. Does a new emerged bee eat pollen? Only if they are feeding young. But it's really irrelevant anyway. The point is that the adult bees in the colony are not going to be deprived of nourishment because you didn't feed them pollen, nor are they going to be provided with nourishment if you do feed pollen and we KNOW they will get inadequate nourishment from pollen substitute if they are trying to feed young bees, which they probably won't do much of until they have a supply of pollen. There is no need to give a "pollen" patty because you think they may be running out of stores...

MB, All kidding aside the thread has wandered from do I need to feed? Your answer; No. Agree.
Wandered to; When do I feed if for a specific result. Most of the replys.
Sort of like your take on feeding syrup. Sometimes yes, sometimes no, but not blindly.
Myself, I didn't like the amount of pollen stored last fall, so trying for sub not too soon and not too late.
Michael, do you feel pollen patty's are a waste of money or is there a time when you would consider them beneficial?
>Michael, do you feel pollen patty's are a waste of money or is there a time when you would consider them beneficial?
There are times when I consider feeding REAL pollen beneficial. But that is a far cry from pollen substitute. The most "watered down" I'm willing to do is 50% substitute and 50% real pollen when I really think there is a need and I don't have enough real pollen. And then I feed it dry in an empty hive. About the only times I ever feed pollen are when I see the bees gathering grain dust or saw dust and I think there is a pollen dearth. In the spring when the packages come in there is no pollen dearth. Earlier in the spring there is no pollen dearth, but it's too cold to gather it and not gathering it keeps them from rearing brood too early. Rearing brood too early is my primary cause of losses in the winter. I certainly don't want to encourage the primary cause of my winter losses...

Thank you for the explanation!
[QUOTE=Michael Bush;900892]Adult bees consume pollen in order to convert it to royal jelly and feed brood. /QUOTE]
And that is exactly what I expressed in my first post. I will also disagree somewhat with the notion that adult bees do not benefit individually from consuming pollen or in this topic pollen supplements. Vitelogenin even in adult bees is the fountain of youth protein in bees.
First off...they are adults when they emerge.
Second...those bees that overwinter especially in colder climates are two to three months old when the queen begins laying again, well past the "nurse bee" age. They do indeed consume pollen for vitellogenin production.

As a QB, he did manage some comebacks in tight games while playing for Denver - but he will never be in that position now, unless Brady is hurt. As for training him to be a TE, he has size and mobility - but we've seen he gets confused in protection, so they can't take that chance of someone getting clean through to Brady. I'll bet the Patriots find even less ways to use him than the Jets. Good athlete, in the wrong sport...
Lets face it, Belichick is not a moron. Taking Tom Brady off the field for even one snap so Tebow can try to play quarterback is not a likely scenario. However, he very well may look to tebow for 4th and short, or goal line QB situations. I wouldn't doubt it considering Brady's awful habit of apparently trying to paralyze himself in QB sneak situations by jumping straight down on his head. Then again, probably not since I believe Tebow still doesn't know how to take a snap from under center.

text: 1995 GMC Sierra, Bucket Truck, 55,656 miles Story: 35 MPH #1 piston came apart and the connecting rod (which was still going up & down) beat the big pieces into little pieces; this smashing process bent the connecting rod until it punched a hole in the cylinder wall at which point the wrist pin lodged in the hole and stopped all movement. Purchased a Re manufactured engine (Mexico) with a flat tappet camshaft that needs to be broken-in properly, which leads to my question: When this engine starts for the very first time, would a new oxygen sensor be damaged by the burning of oil in the cylinders; I'm thinking of leaving the old sensor in until after camshaft break-in ? ? ? My History, I was born in 1946 and stopped working for an employer in 2010. I served aboard the USS INTREPID CVA11 in the 1960s. The Intrepid is now a museum in NYC. As a former crew-member I did volunteer duty on board 2009 & 2010. Last Year I volunteered at a water powered mill in Wilmington, DE. In 1993 I replaced a (4.3L) 267 cu.in. SB with a (5.7L) 350 cu.in. SB in a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu wagon (everyone called it a sleeper). That was the extent of my engine swapping until now. My SON just bought an electrical business from his employer who was getting out of the trade; the bucket truck was part of the deal. Less than a year later the engine seized and he wasn't getting the work he was hoping for (no money for the bucket truck). Enter volunteer DAD with the money for the engine and the tools to do the work. Thanks for any advice !

US: Almonds continue to be in high demand
At Stewart & Jasper Orchard, millions of almonds are grown and processed. The product is being harvest now, as machines called shakers go to each almond tree along Eastin and Shiells roads in Newman to shower down as the nut, which will eventually be shipped to places all across the world.
But almonds aren't the only thing that are grown at the facility. Money also grows there, though not literally. The production, the shipments and the demand for almonds keep on growing and growing.
Last month, the Almond Board of California reported in 2007 that the domestic, export and total worldwide shipments of almonds were the largest in history, a record that could fall in the coming years. More than 1.3 billion pounds of the nut - which is more than 24 percent from the previous year - were harvested in 2007, marking it the largest crop ever.
Shipments overseas jumped to 1.26 billion pounds, a 18-percent increase. Germany and Spain continue to be the No. 1 and No. 2 exports of the California almonds, due to the strong tradition of almond lovers living in the countries. India claims the third spot, as president and CEO of the Almond Board Richard Waycott said Indian parents, for example, are known to give their children a handful of almonds before leaving for school for good luck.
Japan and China round out the top five export destinations. "It's such a wonderful, nutritious food," Waycott said during media day Tuesday, in which reporters sat down for an interview in his office in Modesto and then took a tour of the orchard.
It's an industry, he added, that will continue to grow. In the U.S., shipments went up 7.2 percent - reaching 394.8 million pounds, as it is the largest single market for California almonds. Add to that, shipments accounted for 31 percent share and 69 percent for export shipments.
In addition, Western Europe and Asia remains the top two regional export destinations with shares of 54 and 23 percents. "The growers and handlers of California Almonds have set the stage for this unprecedented growth with forward-thinking, strategically sound programs administered by the Almond Board of California," Waycott said last month after reports of the continued strong demand for his product. "From the research in the field aimed at creating a more sustainable environment for growing almonds to the investment in research to understand almond nutritional benefits, the entire almond community has been focused on making record demand a reality.
"In fact, almonds continue to be the second most frequently used nut worldwide for new nut product introductions and if demand continues to grow at this rate, almonds will become the number one nut for global new product introductions in 2008."
So if almonds occupy the #2 spot for new nut products, which nut occupies the #1 spot?
Among tree fruits, cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans and pistachios are up there in usage. But, I think that the almond is second to most likely the peanut, which isn't really a tree nut, but a legume. Allergies to peanuts and amounts of fat make almonds highly sought for new product introductions. Is there a Snickers bar with almonds out there?
Here is some of your answer for tree crops:

B&B plus 10: C.O.'s biggest wildfire marks milestone
B&B Complex burned 90,000 acres, began 10 years ago
SANTIAM PASS, Ore. - It was a fire of truly historic proportions -- and Monday marked the 10th anniversary of the start of what became the massive B&B Complex of wildfires near Santiam Pass.
The Bear Butte and Booth fires were sparked by lightning during the first week of August of 2003.
Over the next two weeks, the two fires roared to life, reported just hours apart on the 19th of August. The fires eventually merged and burned 90,769 acres. For 34 days, an army of 2,300 firefighters worked to try and stop the flames.
Along with the two-week closure of Highway 20 -- dealing the town of Sisters a major summer-tourism blow -- the community of Camp Sherman was evacuated twice, and also lost a planned visit by President George W. Bush.
"I remember where I was --, I won't forget that," said Brian Tandy, a silviculturist with the Sisters Ranger District at the time. "I was actually out on the ground with the president's advance team, laying out where he was going to go with the Forest Service -- that's when we saw the fires."
Bush had plans to use Central Oregon as a backdrop for his Healthy Forest Initiative.
A speech was planned in Camp Sherman, but because of the fire it was moved to the fairgrounds in Redmond, and Bush flew over the fire area for an inspection tour by helicopter.
"Bush flew over my house in his helicopter," recalled trail rider George Rondema of Redmond. "I saw that when they looked at it (the fire)."
Rondema, who uses the trails in the burn scar, says he sees a much different landscape than he did over a decade ago.
"It used to be beautiful," Rondema said. "I mean, it was gorgeous -- green trees everywhere. There was a lot of game-- deer and elk all over the place. It was pretty country."
He says Mother Nature has begun to heal the scar along the Pacific Crest Trail.
"Gradually, it's coming back," Rondema said. "Slowly but surely. The deer and elk are back, so it's coming back."
"It was kind of unprecedented," Tandy said. "At least in our area to have a fire that big up until then, I think there were a lot of things that we could learn."
We'll have more stories about the huge fires and their impact in coming days. In the meantime, here or on our Facebook page, feel free to share your memories of the fire that had such a major impact on the High Desert -- one still felt today.

Robbed of her youthful ideals and at the center of scandal and tragedy, Jade ran as far and as fast as she could. But she never forgot the sleepy "company town" where every man, woman, and child was dependent on one wealthy family. And she never forgot their spoiled son, who with his two friends changed her life forever.
Someday, somehow, she'd return...exacting a just revenge, freeing herself from her enemies' grasp, and, perhaps, fulfilling a lost promise of love.
©2007 Sandra Brown; (P)2007 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Fast-paced drama." (Publishers Weekly)
"Lifted by Narration"
Sandra Brown is an experienced author with proven ability in pacing and story building. This work is sometimes slow, sometimes quick, always empathetic, and indomitable in its rise to its conclusion. Although its subject matter is not pretty, she makes no apologies and declines to take captive either her characters or her readers. Breath of Scandal is worthy of her craft. It's a well-written story to which I would have assigned a rating of four stars and no review without a second thought except for the exceptional quality and sensitivity of Dick Hill's narration. His talent for character interpretation, for acting each character's words and actions with care, believability, and consistancy, and his ability to understand and express the building emotion and drama of this story through only the instrument of voice deserves acknowlegment. Mr. Hill's narration was outstanding. For me, he single-handedly raised my rating of a solid Sandra Brown novel from a four to a five and prompted this review -- my first, by the way. Thank you, Mr. Hill. Narrators of your caliber are very, very hard to find. I sincerely hope this review finds its way to you and that others share my appreciation of your talent.
Say something about yourself!
"Great story, great narration"
I am about half way through this audio book. Can't wait to get back in my car and hate to get out of it. Dick Hill is one of my all time favorite narrators and I think he brings this story to life, including the voices of the females. You won't be dissapointed if you download this.
"Irritating Narration"
The story is good but the narrator's female voice made the heroin sound simpering with no backbone. Listening became downright annoying at time. Dick Hill definitely needs to work on his female voices.
"Breath of Scandal"
Good story, interesting characters & plot. Liked the way she got her revenge at the end. Typical Sandar Brown novel. I wish the female lead(s) were narrated by a female. It becomes annoying to hear a male narration as squeaky,high pitched,breathless and over compensated throughout the entire story.
"Excellent selection"
I thoroughly enjoyed this selection. I found the story to be thoroughly engrossing. I noted before purchasing that some reviewers did not like the male narration but I found the narration by Dick Hill to be outstanding.
Don't you just love a great story well told?
"Great Story on a ROUGH subject"
If you can handle concept of the brutality the plot revolves around this book deals this is a well written book with a very strong central female character. The small town corrupt justice system of one company city is also very realistic. So while it's rough to watch this young lady go through all she goes through the writing is excellent, the ending excellent and it isn't your typical Sandra Brown "Who-Done-It?"
"Great mystery."
Dick Hill's female voices make them all sound like breathless morons. If you can stand that, the rest of it is a worth a credit.
"Breath of Scandal"
The SCANDAL is that this title ends up in the topseller list. I understand the rush (for I did it too) to buy a newcomer, though the author is not.
Plot started out well, though quickly turned predictable. I'd even spoken aloud the words I thought would come next, and was correct. Another made for TV novel.
The parts of the story that are based in racially abhorrent times, are well understood. Deplorable, yes. This avenue though was overly emphasized.
The narrator's voice for females reminds me of Dustin Hoffman in the movie "Tootsie". Couldn't help thinking of that in the back of my mind.
Still wish there were a rating system with half stars, for I'd consider 3 1/2 here. Just not quite a 4.
"Great build-up"
I was engrossed in this novel. It had me from the beginning. I do say the reader was a little off on the voices of female characters but I got through it. If you have ever lived in a small town you can relate to the story.
Love a great book that stays with you long after you've finished it.
"Breath of scandal"
A good listen.
Great narrator.
A heads up, there are a few sex scenes described in depth.
Mostly believable characters, those you don't, you find yourself wanting to for the sake of the story.
A good long listen without wanting to skip over any parts.
"Gripping if a little predictable"
Thoroughly enjoyed this story but some chapter changes to different characters and times were a little jarring. The narrator was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the extra touched of sound affects with phone calls and microphones. My one gripe was the female lead sounded a littl like kermit the frogs nephew. Which made the sex scenes a little hilarious. Still enjoyed the book though ;)
"Great Story"
Like the way she got her revenge but wished for a female narrator to do the women's voices.

Wonderful news!!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wonderful news!!
How wonderful. They are just like our children. And it is heartbreaking when something bad happens. So glad yours is a good happening
How wonderful for you. My daughter's cat got into a workman's truck and was carried off. Nearly 2 months later, he appeared, emaciated and with bloody paws from walking home. Have no idea where he had been nor what he had been through, but he was so happy to be home again, not to mention the kids and my daughter.
I am so glad for you.
Glad he is back home.
My mil is romancing a cat with treats on a china dish right now. He is a lovely Tuxedo cat who lives a couple houses along. He knows a good thing. When his family is out for the day he has a warm welcome with my mil. She knows where be lives, but is happy to have the company during the day. He goes home when he hears he people's car arrive. They know where he spends his days.
In 1993 we had a starving male (intact) grey tabby show up at our house. We called the SPCA, Pound etc, but nobody had reported him missing. We had him wormed and he started to gain weight. When he was at a healthy weight we had him neutered. We called him Tom (he was a tom cat when he arrived) and referred to him as our stray cat the 14 years he lived with us. The vet figured he was 18 months to 3 years old when he moved in, so he had a good long life with us.
I tell the Tom's story so people will know that sometimes the missing cat winds up living the good life, just with another family. We tried to find his owners, but they never reported him missing, at least locally.
Attending University. I will graduate a year after my son and year before my daughter.
Very happy for all of you. Good news
Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Picasso to paint your garage.
Very happy for you. Oh if Chance could only talk.......
Super!!! Is he fixed, they take off when they're looking for a mate.
Yay!! Heartbreaking when our furbabies are lost! Sooo happy for you!
Hooray thats great news I feel sick if my Chloe is late for dinner!
Everyday is a good day for Quilting!

We really enjoyed staying in Marieke's flat and she made us feel very welcome. The flat is 'bright and comfy' and the location is safe and quite. We travelled into the centre by bus which was easy, but we also walked. Great Thai resturant around the corner and we loved the local brewery and bar by the windmill, both recommended by Marieke. Thanks for our successful first visit to Amsterdam.

Apple is already working on its next iPhone and is Blackberry finally trying to resurrect
themselves? According to DigiTimes, Apple is expected to start "trial" production of its next iPhone, the iPhone 5S, in December. SiliconANGLE Contributing Editor John Casaretto said historically speaking, the revisions and updates for the iPhone 5s will probably be mild. He said, "It's easy to forget the amount of engineering that really goes into releasing a phone. That involves the product engineering, the design, the manufacturing – all those things are feats of engineering . . . and it does take quite a bit of time to put that together."
Casaretto speculated that the rush to put out the iPhone 5s is most likely due to the production problems of the iPhone 5, with the trial production expected to turn out between 50,000-100,000 units. Casaretto thinks the demand for the iPhone 5s will be there, even though the iPhone 5 was just released in September.
In other mobile device developments, the Blackberry 10 Launch is scheduled for January 30, 2013. Blackberry has not been a familiar term as of late in the mobile device industry, but RIM seems to be looking to change that. There will be a new line of Blackberries released, but Casaretto isn't quite convinced that they'll be able to run with the big dogs, Apple and Android. He said, "Once upon a time, they led the pack, and everyone followed. But the Apple experience and the Android revolution have changed that. It appears to be too little, too late . . . but this is tech, so you never know."
Casaretto described what the renovated Blackberries will most likely have, including a best in class browser, a rich application eco-system, and cutting edge multimedia capabilities. He feels they're really trying to step up their game and leave the old Blackberry platform behind. See the entire segment with Kristin Feledy and John Casaretto on the Morning NewsDesk Show.

Im a fan of Rambo (the player and the movies) and Geathers late is a nice value. Not a fan of Jones in our system and im not sold on Aboushi even though hes a homegrown kid from BK, he looked slow as balls in the senior bowl
Come check the G-Fambulance and The Scarf Soldiers every home game in Lot L6, and like us on facebook and instagam 'NYG Scarf Soldiers'
Why don't you explain your picks? It seems like you are just following what has already been said or keying on big names.
Bacarri Rambo - Don't get me wrong, this guy has probably the coolest football name ever. Aside from that, I barely saw anything from him in GA's bowl game. I think we can get by without taking a Safety in the first 3 rounds. Rolle, Will Hill, and either KP or more likely Stevie Brown coming back.
I'm not sure anyone is going to touch Mauti in the draft. He lacked athleticism before his 1st knee injury. Let alone after his 2nd.
I like the 1st, 3rd, and 4th picks but as others have pointed out before, we're really good at Safety with so many options already on our roster to explore without needing to touch the draft.
Think we can pick up a better late round OL prospect too.
2) I like Oday Aboushi.
3) I think we have a glut of really solid Safeties (Rolle, KP, Brown, Hill and now, even TT). Not sure we pick up a Safety this early but I like the pick in a vacuum.
4) Solid pick ... no bells and whistles. Love his size though.
5) Geathers has a great pedigree (I think his hamster even went into the NFL) and massive size but I'd think at that size, he'd be a NT prospect. We definitely could use the mass inside though.

McNeese State head coach Matt Viator. (American Press Archives)
Last Modified: Monday, September 23, 2013 9:04 PM
By Alex Hickey / American PressSometimes, going off the script isn't such a bad thing.
Bill Murray's speech about a Cinderella story winning The Masters in the movie "Caddyshack?"
Made up on the spot.
The most famous line in "Jaws" — "We're gonna need a bigger boat" — was also unscripted.
McNeese State's 43-6 win over Weber State on Saturday?
Same deal.
Very little about the Cowboys victory went the way coach Matt Viator envisioned it. He said McNeese's ability to succeed going "off the script" is what stuck out to him the most.
"We went off the script in the sense that we had as many penalties in one game as we did the first three (combined)," Viator said. "We had as many turnovers as we did in the first three. We got tortured in the field-position game the entire night. Their punter did a good job in that sense. We lost the time-of-possession for the first time.
"So it was certainly off the script of how we won the first three, and how we would like to play in the games coming up."
Despite pulling through, Viator does not necessarily want his team turning into an improv troupe.
"It's important sometimes to win in different ways," he said. "The challenge for us is to get back to work so we can get back on script for some of the things we need to do to be successful."
There won't be much margin for mistakes this week.
McNeese (4-0) closes its non-conference slate at No. 5 Northern Iowa (3-0) on Saturday. It's McNeese's first game with both teams in the FCS Top 10 since facing Georgia Southern in 2003, as the Cowboys rose to No. 9 in this week's rankings.
"I think everybody in the building understands the tremendous challenge we have," Viator said. "But at the same time, I think everybody in the building couldn't be more excited about the opportunity we have in front of us."
Staying ahead of the chains might be the most important page of the script for the Cowboys to get back to this week. The offense was moved backwards by eight false starts against Weber State.
Viator said the penalties were the result of confusion created by the Wildcats linebackers.
"Not to make excuses, but they were doing things we didn't handle well," Viator said. "When we'd make the 'Mike' ID call, they'd start hollering similar words to what we use. It's something we don't do defensively. People are hollering and moving, that's just part of it. But we definitely have to improve that."
Viator described the tactic as unusual. But even if the Panthers don't replicate it, McNeese's offensive line does have to be vigilant against what promises to be a noisy crowd at the 16,324-seat UNI-Dome.
"We worked silent (snap) counts against South Florida," Viator said. "As it turns out, the crowd didn't get into it as much as we anticipated. But we're going to get back into that this week."
• NOTES: Viator said wide receiver Wes Briscoe was scheduled for an MRI Monday following his leg injury on Saturday. Linebacker Deonte Thompson, wide receiver Deajon Mitchell and running back Javaris Murray are all expected back in the lineup this week. It will be the first game for Murray, a senior who also returns kickoffs. . .After notching his first career interception that was returned 69 yards for a touchdown, McNeese sophomore Wallace Scott was named this week's Louisiana Sports Writers Association Defensive Player of the Week, voted on by state sports writers and media members.
Scotts's award makes if four weeks in a row a McNeese player has been recognized as a player of the week by either the Southland Conference or the LSWA.
He finished with six total tackles, four solos, a quarterback hit and the interception. His pick happened at the 2:55 mark of the first quarter with the Cowboys trailing 6-0. The score started a string of 43 consecutive points scored by McNeese as the team improved to 4-0 on the season.

Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon with his father. He has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. He is obsessed with maths, science and Sherlock Holmes but finds it hard to understand other people. When he discovers a dead dog on a neighbour's lawn he decides to solve the mystery and write a detective thriller about it. As in all good detective stories, however, the more he unearths, the deeper the mystery gets - for both Christopher and the rest of his family.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Mark Haddon's bitterly funny debut novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers.
Late one night, Christopher comes across his neighbor's poodle, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork. Wellington's owner finds him cradling her dead dog in his arms, and has him arrested. After spending a night in jail, Christopher resolves--against the objection of his father and neighbors--to discover just who has murdered Wellington. He is encouraged by Siobhan, a social worker at his school, to write a book about his investigations, and the result--quirkily illustrated, with each chapter given its own prime number--is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Haddon's novel is a startling performance. This is the sort of book that could turn condescending, or exploitative, or overly sentimental, or grossly tasteless very easily, but Haddon navigates those dangers with a sureness of touch that is extremely rare among first-time novelists. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is original, clever, and genuinely moving: this one is a must-read. --Jack Illingworth, Amazon.caFrom the Inside Flap:
Foreign rights have been sold to the UK, Italy, France, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Japan, Greece, Finland, Denmark, Holland and Brazil.
Film rights have been bought by Hey Day (the makers of Harry Potter) together with Brad Grey (producer of The Sopranos) and Brad Pitt in their first acquisition for Warner Bros.
Narrated by a fifteen-year-old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions.
Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher?s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour?s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing.
Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents? marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher?s mind.
And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon?s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.

Mud Painting
Chalk is a fun outdoor tool, but it's not the only game in town. If you're looking for something to keep your kid busy on a warm day, and give him some writing practice in the process, look no further than that mound of dirt in your yard and the hose sitting nearby. Bring on the mud!
Mud is a cheap, tactile, and delightful way for kids to practice with all those new words they learned in kindergarten, as they get ready for first grade. With a paintbrush and a bucket of mud, your child can practice sight words, word families, or a whole slew of other concepts that might not seem that appealing in worksheet form, but are a blast to experiment with when mud's involved.
What You Need:
- A small mound of clean dirt, free of pebbles, grass, or other debris
- Water
- Bucket
- Paintbrush (not too wide — pick a size that your child can write with easily, perhaps 1" wide)
- Sidewalk, pavement, or other light colored outdoor surface
What You Do:
- Put the dirt in the bucket. Mix in water, a little bit at a time, until you have a thin muddy consistency-- you want painting to be smooth and easy.
- Depending on how much motivation your child needs, you can get him started by painting a few word families on the pavement, such as "at" and "ug" and challenging him to come up with as many words as he can (for example, "cat", "hat", "bat"...) or you can just hand over the bucket and paintbrush and set him loose!

To the Editors:
Robert Hargraves and Ralph Moir's article "Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors" (July–August 2010) presents a strong case for developing such plants. The relative simplicity of their construction and operation, their inherent safety and their lack of plutonium (Pu) production are powerful advantages that should be carefully considered. However, their nonproliferation potential may not be quite as promising as the article implies. The authors—just as Mujid Kazimi did previously (see "Thorium Fuel for Nuclear Energy, American Scientist, September–October 2003)—suggest that Uranium-232 in the Uranium-233 produced by thorium reactors makes proliferation unlikely due to the former's prolific and high-energy gamma-ray emissions. Neither article quantified how much U-232 is produced, making the claim difficult to judge. The first reaction in the production of U-232 has an extremely small cross-section for neutrons below about 6 mega-electron volts. As only a small fraction of neutrons generated in fissions are this energetic, the production rate of U-232 is very low.
U-233 is an excellent fuel for a fission weapon. It has a considerably smaller bare critical mass than U-235, about 15 kilograms versus 45 kilograms. This can be made significantly smaller—perhaps halved—by use of a lightweight beryllium tamper. Unlike the plutonium present in spent fuel, U-233 is immune to predetonation problems in even a crude gun-type bomb due to its low rate of spontaneous fission. It is a fairly copious alpha decayer, a property that can lead to premature detonation if the core is contaminated by light elements. But because the rate of alpha decay is only about one-sixth of that of Pu-239, this might not represent an insurmountable purification problem for would-be bomb makers. Perhaps liquid-fluoride thorium reactors could be engineered to enhance production of U-232 as a nonproliferation measure even if that produced a performance penalty.
Cameron ReedAlma College
Drs. Hargraves and Moir respond:
A commercial reactor will make just enough uranium to sustain power generation. Diverting any would stop the reactor, alerting authorities to a breach. Certainly terrorists could not steal U-233 dissolved in a molten salt solution along with lethally radioactive fission products inside a sealed reactor. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards would require security, accounting of all nuclear materials, surveillance and intrusive inspections. It is conceivable that a nation or revolutionary group might expel IAEA observers, stop a liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) and attempt to remove U-233. Skilled engineers would need to modify the radioactive reactor's fluorination equipment to separate uranium from the fuel salt. U-233 produced in a LFTR is a poor choice for nuclear weapons because the neutrons that produce U-233 also produce 0.13 percent contaminating U-232, whose decay products emit 2.6 mega-electron volt, penetrating gamma radiation. That would be hazardous to weapons builders and obvious to detection monitors. The U-232 decays via a cascade of elements to thallium, which emits the radiation. A year after U-233 separation, a weapons worker one meter from a subcritical 5-kilogram sphere would receive a radiation dose of 4,200 millirems per hour, compared to 0.3 millirems per hour from plutonium. Death becomes probable after 72 hours of exposure. After 10 years, this radiation triples. U-232 cannot be removed chemically; centrifuge separation would make the equipment too radioactive to maintain. Conceivably, nuclear experts might try to devise chemistry to remove the intermediate elements of the U-232 decay chain before thallium is formed. But at-risk nations could be limited to using a LFTR variant with no chemical-processing capability. Deploying LFTRs will decrease, not increase, risks of nuclear weapons proliferation. Kickstarting LFTRs with plutonium can consume existing stocks of that weapons-capable material. Using thorium fuel reduces the need for U-235 enrichment plants, which can make weapons material as well as power reactor fuel. This energy source is cheaper than coal, can increase prosperity and can reduce the potential for wars over resource competition.

|The Baxter Family Associate Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator
|Alma Mater:
|Ole Miss '01
|(919) 684-2635
A member of the Duke staff since January of 2008, Zac Roper serves as the program's Baxter Family Associate Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator while mentoring the Blue Devil quarterbacks. From 2013-15, he served as Duke's Special Teams Coordinator and Recruiting Coordinator while coaching the tight ends before being elevated to his current role in January of 2016.
As the Blue Devils went 8-5 with a victory over Indiana in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl during the 2015 season, Roper coached a pair of All-America performers in return specialist DeVon Edwards and kicker Ross Martin. Edwards set a school single-season record with three kickoff returns for touchdowns while Martin, who finished his career with the second most total points in ACC history, established Duke single-season standards for both total points (120) and field goals (26). In addition, punter Will Monday garnered All-ACC honors for the fourth consecutive season.
Martin was selected to participate in both the East-West Shrine Game and Senior Bowl while Monday, also an East-West Shrine Game choice, earned an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Ind. Both Martin (New York Jets) and Monday (Pittsburgh Steelers) signed NFL free agent contracts. Roper's 2015 tight end unit – a trio consisting of Braxton Deaver, David Reeves and Erich Schneider – combined to post 49 receptions for 410 yards and five touchdowns.
In 2014, Duke had four All-America special teams performers. Punt returner Jamison Crowder picked up second team All-America accolades from Lindy's while Edwards, Monday and Martin all were honorable mention choices by Sports Illustrated. At tight end, Roper and the Blue Devils overcame the preseason loss of All-ACC performer Deaver, who suffered a season-ending injury in August. Reeves led the unit with three touchdown receptions including the game-winning score in Duke's 20-13 triumph over Virginia.
The 2013 season marked Roper's first year directing the Blue Devil tight ends and Duke's offense featured All-ACC choice Deaver and Reeves. Deaver finished the year with 46 catches for 600 yards and four touchdowns while Reeves became the first player in Duke history with touchdown receptions in multiple bowl games.
Under Roper's guidance, Duke boasted a pair of 2013 All-Americans in the return game with both Crowder and Edwards garnering recognition. Crowder had two punt returns for touchdowns while Edwards, who returned a pair of kickoffs for scores, averaged 30.2 yards per kickoff return. In addition, Martin and Monday earned All-ACC honors in 2013.
Roper mentored the Blue Devil running backs in each of his first five seasons in Durham. Duke's rushing attack in 2012 featured three backs — Jela Duncan, Josh Snead and Juwan Thompson — that totaled 1,401 yards while averaging 4.95 yards per carry. The trio also combined for 53 pass receptions for an additional 263 yards.
On the special teams front, Martin and Monday enjoyed successful rookie campaigns as both earned Freshman All-America recognition. Martin set an ACC freshman and school single-season record with 106 total points while Monday led the ACC in punting average.
In 2011, Duke scored 19 times on the ground, matching the program's top output since 1995. Thompson was one of just six running backs in the ACC to amass 450-plus rushing yards, five or more rushing TDs and 20-plus receptions on the year.
In the three-year span from 2010-12, the Blue Devils recovered an ACC-best eight on-side kicks while ranking among the top four in kickoff coverage all three seasons. In addition, Duke was second in the ACC in punt return average in 2012 and scored two touchdowns.
Under Roper's direction, kicker Will Snyderwine earned first team All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association in 2010 after booting a school single-season record 21 field goals along with all 32 of his PAT attempts.
Also in 2010, Duke's rushing game showed marked improvement by nearly doubling its yardage total from the previous year while rushing for 19 scores.
Snyderwine garnered All-ACC honors in 2009 after making 17 field goals.
In 2008, Roper managed the unexpected loss of returning starting running back Re'quan Boyette by preparing three backs – Clifford Harris, Jay Hollingsworth and Tony Jackson – for action despite the trio combining for a total of 92 career rushing attempts entering the year. The combination rushed for 1,003 yards while catching 51 passes for an additional 421 yards.
From 2005-07, Roper helped Cornell University to an overall ledger of 16-14. He coached the running backs and tight ends during his first two seasons before switching to cornerbacks in 2007 and also served as special teams coordinator.
On the special teams front in 2007, Cornell paced the league in punt return average — returning two punts for touchdowns during the year — and kickoff coverage. The Big Red also posted touchdowns via fake field goal and kickoff return. Coaching the running backs in 2006, Roper tutored Luke Siwula, who rushed for 885 yards en route to receiving All-Ivy League honors. In 2005, Cornell finished the year ranked 10th nationally in rushing offense.
Roper's work with the Cornell placekickers yielded zero missed point after touchdown attempts over his three seasons as A.J. Weitsman and Peter Zell combined to boot 84 consecutive extra points. In addition, Weitsman established a Cornell single-season record with 14 field goals while punter Michael Bolling downed 23 punts inside the 20 yard line without a touchback in 2005.
Prior to joining the Big Red staff, Roper spent four years at Ole Miss as a graduate administrative aide and graduate assistant coach under current Duke head coach David Cutcliffe, working with the wide receivers, tight ends and placekickers. Mississippi's 2003 squad won 10 games with a share of the SEC Western Division title and defeated Oklahoma State, 31-28, in the Cotton Bowl.
Ole Miss kicker Jonathan Nichols enjoyed a sensational season in 2003 by earning All-SEC and All-America honors while winning the Lou Groza Award as the nation's top kicker. He graduated as the school's all-time leader in total points (344) and finished his career having made 117 consecutive PATs. Punter Cody Ridgeway was an all-league choice in 2003.
Roper was an undergraduate assistant coach at Oklahoma from 1996-98. He graduated from Ole Miss in 2001 with a degree in political science and went on to earn a master's degree in higher education/student personnel two years later.
A native of Knoxville, Tenn., Roper is married to the former Rebecca Harvey of Bossier City, La., and the couple has one son, Joshua and one daughter, Mikayla.

"Romo | Wheeler | Centeno" exhibit
Romo photos featured in Joan Grona gallery exhibit
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Sept. 4, 2008)--The Joan Grona Contemporary Art Gallery hosts the exhibit, "Romo | Wheeler | Centeno," Sept. 4-30 featuring photography by UTSA President Ricardo Romo and UTSA alumna Luisa Wheeler, and paintings by Vanessa Centeno. Sales of Romo's photo prints will benefit the UTSA - Fox Tech Scholarship Fund. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

An opening reception, free and open to the public, is 6-9 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 4 at the Joan Grona Contemporary Art Gallery, Blue Star Arts Complex Suite 112 at South Alamo and Probandt streets in the Southtown district.
The photos by Ricardo Romo were taken on a visit to Veracruz, Mexico, considered to be the home of the "mother culture" of art in Mexico. According to Romo, many who visit Mexico gravitate to Veracruz because of the remarkable history of pre-Colombian art and the artisans who preserve it and adapt the styles in contemporary interpretations. His objective in the photography was to reflect the contemporary people and art dating back 500 years.
Luisa Wheeler, B.F.A. '01, M.F.A. '07, usually focuses on urban landscapes, but in this exhibit examines people in the Mattura region of India. In her work, she enhances or changes colors to reveal new perspectives.
Vanessa Centeno is a graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute. Her paintings use abstract textures, colors and shapes to evoke clothing, cosmetics and other mass-market, packaged consumer goods that become extensions of us giving feelings of status. Her goal is for the abstract forms to allow viewers to apply their own meanings to the works.
"I picked two artists from the recent 'Arte Latina: ROAR' exhibit to present their work with Dr. Romo's photographs because there is a good balance of styles," said Arturo Almeida, exhibit curator and curator of the UTSA Art Collection. "I think they complement each other visually and thematically."
For more information, call (210) 225-6334 or (210) 458-4983 or visit the Joan Grona Contemporary Art Gallery Web site.

Reviews of this property
Zunächst einmal stand das angebotene Appartement Gelatto 1 nicht zur Verfügung, so dass wir das Botanik 2 gewählt haben.
Das Appartment sah auf den Fotos schön aus, leider in der Realität eine absolute Katstrophe. Abgenutzt, dunkel, muffig. Die Fotos wahrscheinlich schon 10 Jahre alt. Das Bett zu schmal für zwei Personen und viel zu weich. Das Badezimmer heruntergekommen. Im Wohnzimmer stand noch zusätzlich ein Bettgestell aus Metall, ohne Auflagen, was soll das? Insgesamt sehr ungastlich und man merkt, dass dieses Appartment nur zum schnelle Geldmachen gedacht ist. Die Lage allerdings ist perfekt.
La ubicación del apartamento muy buena, en pleno centro de Palma. Sin embargo el acceso al mismo con dos tramos escalera muy empinados. La ausencia de cortinas resta intimidad y la cocina muy justita con lo mínimo.
Reviews for this host's other properties
It was a great stay in Palma. The apt was perfectly located, the view was so nice, that we spend a lot of time in it. It was clean and the air condition was great, if it gets a it cold. The supermarket is just 1 min by walk away, very important of a family with kids. The welcome service was a bit far from the apt, but the ladies were very friendly and helpful with all our requests, thank you again!
We would love to come back next time!
The apartment is ideally situated and upon arrival we were efficiently and quickly dealt with. Having arrived late on Tuesday evening and sightseeing all day Wednesday our first true time in the apartment was that evening. Having returned with food and drink we were dismayed to find the equipment and amenities sadly inadequate. A check of the inventory found many items lacking. No corkcrew (essential), scissors and other items were missing. They should have been eight wine glasses for example, when there was only one. The cooker was not working and only by activating the switch at the fuse box could it be operated. This also started the hob, which could not be regulated. The downstairs shower had a broken door, which made showering for my handicapped wife extremely difficult.
I telephoned Uep! Welcome Services that evening and was told someone would visit on Thursday. No-one did. Telephone calls and emails on Thursday and again on Friday had the same negative result.
When we vacated the apartment on Sunday lunchtime after staying for 5 nights no-one had visited and corrected any of the faults or restocked the inventory.
We would not recommend this apartment to our friends and were thoroughly disappointed in our treatment by the service provider.
We trust you will look into this as a matter of urgency.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
dirty apartment, one of the bedrooms is similar to the pantry, in the couch found dead myshu, small kitchen without window, very noisy until 14 o'clock at night, far from the sea, and in general I would have more there never prehal! Yes, such a horror, and even for the money!
View from terrace wonderful, good working wifi. Great location, close to everything.
Narrow staircase with several broke steps and quite dark. Aircondition is a fan. Beds quite uncomfortable, sliding bathroom doors difficult to close and several doors with smashed surfaces. Broken outdoor furniture. No sound insulation between the bedrooms. Wardrobes difficult to access in the lower room and occupied with broken lamp and other stuff.
I would not rent this appartment a second time.
The apartment and the location were great.
The balcony was really big and the view was amazing. You could see the whole bay, with Palma de Mallorca and mountains which made the sunset wonderful.
This part gets 5*.
The only downfall is that the WiFi didn't work. We called the first day already and they made a lot of promises, but they didn't do anything at all. We called multiple times and sent mails, but everything was 'noticed'.
So in conclusion, I guess the apartment is great and we recommend it, but the service is very very bad.

Domestic violence is a leading cause of injury to women in Muscogee County and nationwide. More than 4,000 women are killed each year in this country by their boyfriends or husbands. That's not counting men and children, who are also victims of domestic violence. Yet it is only recently that Americans are beginning to recognize that family violence is much more than a private matter -- it is an epidemic that impacts the lives of everyone, in every community, business, and family.
Domestic violence knows no bounds. Women living in violent homes often carry this experience with them to work, and it shows -- in the form of lost productivity, stress, increased healthcare costs, employee absenteeism and turnover, and too often workplace violence. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that, in 60,000 incidents of on-the-job violence each year, the victims know their attackers intimately, and 74% of employed battered women are harassed by abusive husbands and partners in their work environment.
If you are a victim of Domestic or Family Violence, help is available. If you are in IMMEDIATE danger you should contact local authorities NOW by dialing 911.
If you need help, contact the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office at (706) 653-4225, or the Columbus Police Department at (706)653-3000. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911.
Leave your current location, or have someone stay with you. Go to a battered-women's shelter. Call Columbus Alliance for Battered Women at (706) 324-3850 for emergency assistance or ongoing needs.
Get medical attention from your doctor or hospital emergency room. Ask the staff to photograph your injuries and keep detailed records in case you decide to take legal action.
