text: Ok, this was pretty cool. With the group that I went along with yesterday we got to go through the Chevy Volt in pre-production ... guys wearing suits and earpieces told us no camera or other recording devices, and those that had cell phones with camera had to be tagged. The car has changed it's look quite significantly, and I guess it was announced this morning what the finished volt would look like and they're "hinting" that it would get 230 MPG (withough actually saying 230 MPG). haha, I saw it yesterday. Looks like the www.chevyvolt.com website today is announcing that it will get an estimated 230 MPG for city driving. While walking through, we met with the executive in charge (no pun intended) of the Chevy Volt and we tried to pin him down on all sorts of questions including how many MPG it would get when running on gas. There is a problem with that as it's a gasoline engine that will generate electricity to power the electric motor ( I guess through the battery). It will not drive the wheels with a transmission and it will not power up the battery. You can drive around town with the electric and when you run out of electricity, you then run on gas as long as you want. Miles, hundreds of miles even. I tried to pin them down on the size of the gas tank, but they're not releasing that type of inforation yet. You can also charge it fast on 220 in like 90 minutes or like 8 hours at 110 and the charger is built-in, but you will need a special plug that comes with the vehicle. Today the volt was released for media view. Here's the look and feel.

Golf World Records
Golf world records feature PGA-worthy stars showing off their best driving and putting. But if you've never set foot on a fairway, you can still compete with the champs in the areas of golf ball balancing, bouncing and stacking. Feeling frustrated? You can always let off some steam by attempting one of the golf club throwing records. No need to worry about birdies or bogies here.

Update—Spielman Convicted and Sentenced for the Murder and Rape of Abeer
A third soldier, Private Jesse Spielman, 23, was sentenced Saturday night to 110 years in prison after being convicted Friday of the rape and murder of 14-year-old Abeer Qassim Rasheed Al-Janabi. However, like Sergeant Paul Cortez and Specialist James Barker, who were also convicted in the case, Spielman will, says the Associated Press, be eligible for parole after only 10 years in prison.

According to testimony at his court-martial, which began Monday at Fort Campbell, Private Jesse Spielman went with Sergeant Paul Cortez, Specialist James Barker and Private Steven Green on March 12, 2006, to the home of the Al-Janabi family in a village south of Baghdad. He watched while they raped 14-year-old Abeer Qassim Rasheed Al-Janabi and murdered her and her family. More »

text: I pose this question based on information another beek pointed out to me. If u look at the USDA numbers for hives in the U.S., there has never been a significant drop in numbers of hives posted. Every year for the past 10 to 15 years the numbers alter in the 200,000 range from year to year. It has been that way since before CCD began being reported. Is the USDA just making guesses at numbers of Hives? I ask this because I know that the numbers reported for Mississippi are totally erroneous. The USDA reports regularly that Mississippi has 18,000 hives. How do they come up with that number? I know one beek in Mississippi that has over 18,000 hives. In Mississippi u are not required to register your hives, so are they just guessing? The Mississippi Dept. of Ag. regularly posts that during the season Mississippi has around 31,000 hives and during the winter it swells to around 160,000 hives. Has anyone here ever experienced CCD? Just wondering why u heard of 50 to 90% losses of hives, yet no numbers to support those claims. Just thought this might be something interesting to discuss.

Aaron Ramsey believes Arsenal's attacking play at Norwich was the most heartening aspect of their weekend win.
Arsène Wenger's side recorded their fifth straight Premier League victory with three points at Carrow Road as Robin van Persie's brace capped a gritty Gunners comeback.
Although two goals were enough to see off the Canaries in the end, the Wales captain believes it should have been more.
"So many players were making runs forward and getting into dangerous positions," Ramsey told Arsenal Player. "On the whole we played some really good stuff today.
"It's encouraging that we created all those opportunities - this is a run we want to continue.
"We created a lot of opportunities and could have scored a lot more than we did. But I thought we did really well, looked solid at the back again and we're on a good run of form.
"We have to go into every game now believing we can win, progress and hope that other teams might drop some points," he added. "Hopefully then we can close the gap."
The full interview with Aaron is now available on Arsenal Player.

Southwest Louisiana went 5-3 Friday night.
Barbe, LaGrange, Iowa, Jennings and Basile scored big victories in the second round of the prep football playoffs. DeRidder, Rosepine and Oberlin all lost.
No. 2 seed Barbe beat Byrd, LaGrange crushed St. Martinville, Iowa downed North Vermilion, Jennings held off Loranger and Basile stopped Plain Dealing New Tech.
The roundup below is a rundown of all the games involving Lake Area teams. For complete stories and photos from the games, pick up a copy of Saturday's American Press. Check our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/americanpress for a photo gallery of Friday's action.
A hat trick of touchdowns from Trey Quinn and the nimble feet of quarterback Kennon Fontenot powered Barbe to the win.
The Bucs (11-1) advance to the quarterfinals. They will travel to Bossier City next week to play at Parkway (11-1), which advanced with a 31-28 win over Hahnville.
Barbe dominated the first half of play against Barbe, taking a 17-0 lead midway through the second quarter on a 10-yard pass from Fontenot to Quinn, 17-yard run by Fontenot and the first of three field goals by kicker Jamie McGee.
The Bucs allowed Byrd back into the game when a muffed punt led to a short Byrd scoring drive just before halftime, with Dominic Haggerty scoring on a 12-yard run around right end to make the score 17-7 at the half.
DERIDDER — Some nights, it isn't meant to be.
The No. 22-seeded DeRidder Dragons faced that harsh reality on their home turf. Mistakes in the passing game cost them dearly as the No. 6-seeded Holy Cross Tigers rolled.
Many football games are often won or lost on a few plays. For DeRidder (7-5), five plays cost the Dragons an opportunity to hang with the Tigers (9-2).
Down after Holy Cross scored on the opening drive, DeRidder wide receiver JoeMike Baldwin got behind a defensive back on a third-and-7 and saw nothing but green ahead of him. But, the ball fell through his hands causing the Dragons to punt the next play.
Sandwiched in-between Todd Spriggins' second and third touchdowns was the first of DeRidder quarterback's D'Andre Bellamy's three interceptions.
Holy Cross will host No. 14 LaGrange in a quarterfinal game next week.
ST. MARTINVILLE — LaGrange's first foray into the second round of the state football in more than a decade could not have started much worse.
But, oh what a finish with a flourish.
The Gators, though dominating much of the night after giving up a 72-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff, couldn't shake St. Martinville until the fourth quarter when LaGrange poured on four touchdowns and rolled to a road victory over the Tigers.
The Gators, with a 1-2 punch in the backfield, ran for 414 yards, with Robert Leday picking up 187 with three touchdowns and Tyler Guillory adding 168 with a pair of touchdowns.
The Gators will have to travel next week to Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans to face Holy Cross, which advanced with a 42-7 victory over DeRidder.
IOWA — Iowa's senior class came into a program without much in the way of a winning tradition. They won't be leaving it that way.
The No. 26 Yellow Jackets overcame an early 10-point deficit to beat No. 10 North Vermillion and advance to the Class 3A quarterfinals for the first time in school history. Iowa will travel to face second-seeded Notre Dame, which beat St. Charles Catholic 27-7, on Friday.
Seniors accounted for many of Iowa's big plays, making it all the sweeter for a group that had never won a playoff game before last week.
LORANGER — The Jennings Bulldogs defense stood tall all game and made the big plays when they needed.
Malik Williams's interception in the end zone with 7 seconds remaining propelled the 13th seeded Bulldogs to a win over the fourth-seeded Loranger Wolves.
The Bulldogs looked to have sealed the win when they stopped the Wolves on the Bulldogs 30- yard line with 2:01 to play in the game. The Bulldogs however had to punt the ball to the Wolves with 35 seconds remaining. The Wolves converted two first downs and moved the ball until the turnover which ended the game.
The win advanced the Bulldogs to Class 3A quarterfinals, where they will travel to face fifth-seeded Livonia, which beat Port Allen 30-22.
SHREVEPORT — Second-seeded Evangel raced out to an early lead and never looked back.
Hoping to knock off the powerhouse from Shreveport, Rosepine was a big underdog.
The victory improves Evangel's record to 10-2 on the season. Rosepine, which won its playoff opener over Lake Arthur 27-7, saw its season come to an end at 8-4.
HAYNESVILLE — Haynesville's power running game proved too much for Oberlin to handle, as the second-seeded Tornados moved on with a shutout.
Haynesville rushed for 371 yards and held the Tigers to just 82 yards in total offense.
Titas Early scored on runs of 68 and 1 yards to lead the attack, as the Tornados held a 26-0 lead at halftime and never looked back. Davontae Critton also scored twice on runs of 21 and 4 yards for Haynesville (9-2), which lost to a Class 5A and 4A team this season.
Kendrick Ceaser ran for four touchdowns and 221 yards as Basile beat Plain Dealing New Tech.
Basile, which never trailed, took advantage of three turnovers and held PDNT to 234 total yards.
No. 13 seed Basile will host No. 5 Kentwood, a 34-17 winner over Metairie Park Country Day, in the quarterfinal round on Friday.

Really short paragraph, but I get a lot of traffic.
We are stocking less, and working more. Servicing more ponds, and now doing Bee Swarm Removals!
Courtesy of a badly done bee removal in our area, the gardens produced no tomatoes last year. When a beehive is sprayed, the honey is poisoned, and every bee for miles will take a bite and die. So this spring, I got a beehive. And started learning bees this summer. Equipment is almost fully in place, we are up to swarm removals now, established hives in sheds, garages, water meters, probably. House cut-outs, not yet. But soon. A page will go up when I have the pond cleanup page finished, and time to prepare it. Swarm removals within 25 or 30 miles: Free. This means swarm hanging on a branch, car bumper, or someplace easy to get to. Give us a call.
Maybe I'll get lucky and get a call on the robber bees!

You should never depend on the glaze to make anything waterproof. Even if the glaze fits well enough that you can't see any crackle, there is very likely some there and water will leak through. Granted, it may be a very slow leak but it will leak. The clay you use should be mature and not leak with no glaze on it at the cone you fire it to. Any time you use a new clay you should test for leakage to avoid making pots that are going to ruin grand pianos.

- Make your bowl, make it smooth inside (metal rib)
- let it dry leather hard
- Take your favourite scraper and scrape the outside so grog is coming out.
- Fire
- Glaze it inside
- Glaze it outside and take that scraper of yours and scrape the outside once more
- Fire
Posted 23 May 2013 - 08:23 PM
well, its just a shaving bowl, so there will only be water in it for a short amount of time, probably every day or so.
i guess im not really worried about it being water PROOF, i just didnt want it to fall apart on him years from now.
he wants the outside rough and sandy like so hell have a good grip on it. i havent really tested unglazed ceramic material with water to see what happens.
im thinking of what chris said about using a clay wash and attaching (probably raw grog) to the outside.
hopefully thatll fire and hold steady without flaking off too much.
if it works and is solid, i guess i can just underglaze the whole thing, then clear glaze the inside.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has launched an online business tool to help manufacturing companies evaluate the hidden costs of offshoring industrial production compared with the advantages of doing business in the United States.
The "Assess Costs Everywhere" or ACE tool, lets companies check business plans against a wide range of costs and risks in offshore production -- labor costs, travel, shipping and delivery times, inventory, financing, regulatory and political stability.
Potential locations around the world are categorized for rising labor costs and intellectual property theft, among other factors. Case studies give real-world examples. There's a toolbox for public and private business resources and an industry-developed calculator.

Hackers crack open mobile network
Karsten Nohl and Sylvain Munaut demonstrated their eavesdropping toolkit at the Chaos Computer Club Congress (CCC) in Berlin.
The work builds on earlier research that has found holes in many parts of the most widely used mobile technology.
The pair spent a year putting together the parts of the eavesdropping toolkit.
"Now there's a path from your telephone number to me finding you and listening to your calls," Mr Nohl told BBC News. "The whole way."
He said many of the pieces in the eavesdropping toolkit already existed thanks to work by other security researchers but there was one part the pair had to create themselves.
"The one piece that completed the chain was the ability to record data off the air," he said.
In a demonstration at the CCC, the pair took attendees through all the steps that led from locating a particular phone to seizing its unique ID, then leap-frogging from that to getting hold of data swapped between a handset and a base station as calls are made and texts sent.

try J L Hudsman seeds its a great place to buy bulk and they carry seeds you have a hard time finding other places. I am ordering 3 different types milkweed, lemon balm and others on the list of plants for bees
There is a difference between the two clovers. Crimson can be mistakenly called red. Latin names are wonderful.
Red clover - Trifolium pratense
Crimson clover - Trifolium incarnatum
Zone 7b ~ Central Arkansas
8fr medium equipment
So do bees have a hard time with either of these types of clover? Red or Crimson? or are they both good?
My bee love my loquat tree. It blooms when its starting to cool off and there is nothing else blooming. Also the Chinese tallow tree. Its a very invasive tree but bees cover them.
Japanese Ligustrum
Fast growing large shrub or small tree. White flowers in summer followed by black berries. Evg. ALS - 20'T x 15'W
The BEST!
Julysun elevation 23 feet. 4 Hives, 2 years.
Thanks honey!!! Are we the only ones on the gulf coast on this topic. A lot of the plants they are talking about will not grow in 100% humidity(sp?). I think my kids have stopped growing b/c of this too. Just kidding. We over come it by eating. Eating makes us happy.
Aaagggg!!!! I just looked up what you where talking about. Ligustrum is blooming now right? There are 5 50 yr old ones in my yrd now killing us very slowly. Even with eating our own honey my family gets no relief from the runny noses ect. You are correct in that every pollinator is on these trees(bushes) so it is the law of the most high queen bee(me) that they stay.
I forgot to mention the sneeze index!
Julysun elevation 23 feet. 4 Hives, 2 years.
Last year I had a couple tomatillo plants growing in my garden and they were thick with honeybees. I've planted more this year since they seemed to like them so much. Plus you can make fantastic salsa with them!
Our hive, which we named "Queen's Landing," got started on May 5, 2013!
So which clover is the correct one for honey bees, crimson or red? better yet use the scientific name.
I know they work white clover and I'm trying crimson this year, but the plants are too small. I'd be interested in this also.
Try Americanmeadows.com they have a polinator mix plus you can order seed. Another for just seed is J.L.Hudson seedman. They carry seeds others don't.
Laurabonitahopkins Tomatoes are crazy when it comes to pollination, not bees, but timing, temp., and a stiff shake are required!
Julysun elevation 23 feet. 4 Hives, 2 years.
I have 6 'Blue Mist Spirea' bushes in my backyard alone and another 4 in the front. They are a fairly xeric plant that produces anywhere from a light blue to almost black/blue flower in summer that honey bees love, love, love! After the bees hit them up they will produce a lot of seed and these bushes will spread like crazy if given the right conditions. They will also grow large if allowed, but honey bees go crazy on them here in Colorado.
They also seem to like the Salvias too, especially the dark purple ones, but they come in a lot of different colors. Again, another very xeric plant. One that needs very little water. Once they are established you basically don't bother watering them or they will get real leggy and flop over to the point that it looks like someone sat right in the middle of the plant. Otherwise they are a beautiful addition to any garden or yard.
California Poppies are very easy to grow, they reseed themselves almost to the point of being a weed and the bees love them.
Another xeric plant that the bees love is Lambs Ear. It grows wild here in the fields and it produces these long shafts of pink flowers. And rabbits don't like to eat these plants. So it's a win, win, win!
And of course Galardia is super popular as well. Again, xeric, its very easy to grow from seed and comes in a lot of different colors.
I live on the plains of Colorado and water here is a real issue. Xeric plants are a must have
As for bee balm, bumble seem to like them best, but I have seen a few honey bees give it a go.

I planted some this spring so I guess it won't bloom this year then? Perhaps next year I'll have a booming year. How long does it bloom for?
I don't know if it will bloom this year or not. As far as how long, I wish I had paid more attention when ours was blooming. I'd say around three weeks. But I'm just guessing
We planted crimson clover last year, and the bees did not work it. This year we planted buckwheat---two thumbs up--they love it!! Also we planted blackberries. They have been working them for over a month.

Crow Wing County's 2013 levy is lower than 2012 levy
Crow Wing County commissioners adopted a 2013 budget and tax levy earlier this month, but Administrator Tim Houle likened the process to the adage of two things not to watch — making laws or making sausage.
A marathon of amendments to amendments came during hours of discussion with enough twists and turns that commissioners repeatedly asked for clarifications on what exactly they were voting on or changed a vote after casting it. Staff needed a break to reconsider the numbers after decisions made changes to the proposed budget.
The good news, Commissioner Rachel Reabe Nystrom said, was even board members didn't know what they were doing, making it clear there are no alliances, secret conversations or pre-determined outcomes.
"This is what decision-making looks like," Nystrom said, adding she was sorry it left staff scrambling at the last minute.
The final decision had commissioners voting to cut two proposed positions, slashing into the $15 million earmarked for a potential Law Enforcement Center building project and weighing once again the library needs against the Brainerd senior center.
In the end, the board reduced the proposed tax levy by $21,832 for a total of $34,737,542 out of a $66,417,443 budget. But getting there couldn't be confused with following anything like a straight line.
The county started the morning with a proposed 2013 tax levy of $34,759,374, or a .34 percent decrease from 2012.
Library or senior center
Appropriations were tackled first as representatives from the library and senior center continued to lobby the board for support. The board previously voted to take $20,000 from the Kitchigami Library and use those funds to fill a $20,000 first-time request in funding for The Center, formerly known as the Brainerd Lakes Area Senior Activity Center. The library funding for 2013 is $529,002, which is $20,000 more than the minimum funding required by the state.
Marian Ridge, Kitchi-gami Regional Library director, said the appropriations for the coming year represent a decline for three years in a row falling between amounts paid between 2007 and 2008. Ridge said the library eliminated its senior outreach and home-bound service to meet budget and is seeing increases in use. The county board's decision means the library board will have its own tough decisions to decide what measures to take in response, Ridge said.
Several people spoke in favor of the library and its appeal to all ages, especially at a tough economic time when families are seeking library services after losing jobs and home Internet.
DeAnn Barry, the Center's executive director, said they didn't intend for their appropriation to be taken from another nonprofit. But as for stories, Barry said she has important ones as well, such as a man whose friendships at the Center became a support group to re-engage him in social activities after he was widowed. Barry said they know their mission is growing. "We are just asking for some help along the way to meet that."
Nystrom said the previous meeting set up a difficult choice between the library and seniors and put the board in an awkward position between two groups providing vital services. Nystrom asked her colleagues if they have been to the library and asked them to spend an hour there to see a portion of the 25,000 people with library cards.
Commissioner Paul Thiede said he wasn't going to let Nystrom get away with implying if he didn't vote in favor he was against supporting the library. The board was elected to make tough decisions, he said. In tough economic times, Thiede said they are charged with making decisions that aren't necessarily popular with certain quarters of the electorate. Thiede said they were making choices with limited resources and he rejected it as being against the library or senior citizens.
Nystrom moved to restore the $20,000 to the library. She said adding funding still produced a 2013 levy reduced compared to 2012. Thiede amended the motion to say if the money was restored it would come from the senior center.
"Here we go again," said Chairman Doug Houge.
Houge said he was comfortable with helping both organizations, which still means giving more than the minimum to the library.
That motion to restore the library funding by using senior center appropriations failed with only Nystrom in support.
Law Enforcement Center
Inevitably, talk turned to the $15 million listed for the proposed new Law Enforcement Center (LEC) in Brainerd in the capital projects fund.
The LEC was proposed for funding from savings, refinancing and extending the debt for a year and savings from the 800 megahertz radio upgrade.
Houle said he thought of it more as a placeholder as there are multiple capital needs, including Highway 371 interchanges and Highway 115.
If a new LEC isn't constructed, the county expects costs to re-roof the existing building, heating and air-condition fixes and for parking lot improvements, among others. Houle said the board has flexibility in spending and time before that issue is decided.
Commissioner Rosemary Franzen said she wasn't comfortable leaving $15 million there as a placeholder for the LEC.
"That to me is not a placeholder," Franzen said. "That is a specific project."
Houle said the county could eliminate the capital levy but he equated it to paying the light bill from the savings account. Eventually, Houle said the savings will be gone and the levy will spike back up. The county, he said, is trying to have a planning process that doesn't put taxpayers on a yo-yo.
"I just don't think that's prudent," Houle said.
Finance Director Mike Carlson noted the LEC funding would not affect the levy until possibly 2015. But Carlson said clarity on the board's priorities is needed going forward or the county could miss taking advantage of debt service refinancing in 2013 with historically low rates.
"I don't think we have addressed the LEC in the depths we should have," Nystrom said, adding she hopes to have that conversation in January. But leaving the $15 million earmarked for the LEC made her nervous, Nystrom said.
Franzen suggested taking out the $15 million and replacing it with $1 million to cover the remaining 800 megahertz radio costs and LEC remodeling, which the board supported.
Thiede said he had no problem marking the LEC for serious conversation in 2015, but that didn't mean they wouldn't continue to talk about it.
"I've gotten an awful lot of phone calls and emails about the LEC," Thiede said. "It's a hot topic out there."
"Something has to be done with the Law Enforcement Center but I think the general consensus is not this year or not in 2013," Houge said. "We're not turning our back on this project. It has to be the right time. ... People are still hurting out there. ... Things are still changing. I just wouldn't feel comfortable going ahead with a $15 million project with all this uncertainty out there."
Houle said there will never be a good time for a $15 million building project but at some point the long view has to be taken. Houle said never in his 18-year career has a financing package made such a major infrastructure investment without affecting the levy or issuing additional debt of any significance.
The board is able to make budget adjustments at any time but has a deadline to set the levy.
Proposed staff additions
Board members turned their attention to proposed staff additions: a senior accountant, a legal assistant and three with the sheriff's department — a dispatcher, community service officer and clerical staffer.
Sheriff's office Lt. Dave Fischer said a dispatch position was left vacant to meet the budget but that turned out to be a bad idea, stressing staff and causing overtime. Sheriff Todd Dahl said they thought they could get by and have determined that dispatcher post needs to be filled.
Thiede wanted to eliminate all new positions except the one for finance and the dispatcher. Dahl was asked to make a pitch for the other two staff requests.
"We would never have asked for them if we didn't feel we needed them," Dahl said, adding he hoped the commissioners had enough trust in him to run his office without micromanaging. Nystrom asked if that meant Dahl didn't want to tell her specifically about the position as was his prerogative.
Dahl said he'd be happy to discuss them, adding officers such as Fischer are needed elsewhere but are ferrying squad cars around and other services.
Trusty amended the motion to reduce the planned staffers to include the legal assistant. Nystrom seconded the motion.
Nystrom and Trusty supported it while Franzen and Thiede were opposed. Houge broke the tie by supporting the legal assistant, noting it will go through the personnel committee. That prompted Franzen to change her vote to be in favor.
In the end, the board, with Thiede opposed, approved the accountant, the legal assistant, dispatcher and moving a facilities position from part time to full time.
Two positions, the community services officer and clerical staff at the sheriff's office, were not approved so a $20,000 grant was removed and $17,000 put back into overtime funding.
With the $21,832 net levy savings from not adding those two staff members, Nystrom said $20,000 could be available for the library, but no one made a motion to that effect.

I use a brass or alluminum punch and small hammer for that sort of task.
If it has a set screw be sure to loosen it before moving.
Sometimes they are loose enough to move from recoil at which point you need to use some locktite or a center punch to raise metal on the bottom of the sight or in the dovetail to increase friction fit.
Good luck.

The little matter of mobile OS fragmentation is trivialized for most Apple users, freed from the staggered updates that roll through Android devices seemingly with the wind. It's been one of the perks of owning an iPhone over an Android handset, but that doesn't mean Apple users are completely immune to OS update woes.
Users who quickly updated their devices to iOS 6.1 upon release last week caused excessive logging on Microsoft Exchange servers. IT experts believe that there is a bug in Apple's ActiveSync, or how its mail app communicates with Exchange.
"I've picked up a few other reports that cannot be publicly attributed at this point that also refer to excessive transaction log generation after iOS 6.1 devices are introduced into Exchange 2010 or Exchange 2007 environments," Windows IT Pro's Tony Redmond wrote on his post. "I assume the same is true for Exchange 2013 as the underlying cause is likely to be in Apple's mail app code that calls ActiveSync to synchronize with a user's Exchange mailbox, with some indications being that the problem is once again associated with calendar events. You'd think that Apple would have learned after the iOS 6.0 calendar hijack fiasco."
The iOS 6.0 calendar hijack fiasco was also related to Apple's ActiveSync that caused disruption when using or editing an iOS device's calendar app. Some reported editing calendar details, which were sent out as cancellation messages to meeting attendees.
This is one of the problems of BYOD. IT administrators do not have the power to control when employees update their devices, and in this case, many have already performed the update, leaving IT with no choice but to block iOS 6.1 users from accessing corporate Exchange to prevent further complications.
iOS users who use their devices for work are advised not to update their devices until the bug has been fixed. For those who have already updated their devices, there is no work around and once cannot revert to the previous iOS version.
Apple has yet to acknowledge the issue, and there's no news yet when the bug will be fixed. Here with more analysis on iOS 6.1's bug and the trouble it's causing in the enterprise world is contributing editor John Casaretto, who appeared on this morning's NewsDesk show with Kristin Feledy.
Connectivity issues for i0S 6.1
The iOS 6.1 update is not only causing problems for business, but in the UK, it's causing connectivity issues.
Two European mobile operators, Vodafone UK and 3 Austria, have warned iPhone 4S users to hold off in updating their devices to the latest iOS version as it causes 3G connectivity problems.
Both operators have issued a statement for their customers asking them not to update their devices until Apple fixes the bug.
"We're aware of an issue caused by Apple iPhone 4s handsets that have been upgraded to iOS 6.1 which impacts performance on 3G.
Some customers may occasionally experience difficulty in connecting to the network to make or receive calls or texts or to connect to the Internet. Apple is working on a solution to their software issue. These connection problems are intermittent.
While Apple's investigations continue, we would recommend that anyone who has not yet installed iOS 6.1 on their iPhone 4s should delay doing so until Apple has confirmed that their problem has been fixed," Vodafone said in a statement.

The Defense of Marriage Act : What It Does and Why It Is Vital for Traditional Marriage in AmericaBy Chris Gacek Senior Fellow for Regulatory Policy
The federal Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law in September 1996, is a vital element in preserving traditional marriage in America for two reasons. First, it protects the law-making capacity of the various states in the field of family law. It does this by making it possible for the states to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman without fear that the U.S. Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause will be used by the courts to trump their marital policies. Thus, the Defense of Marriage Act allows each state to formulate its own public policies, rather than be railroaded into accepting the marriage norms of a few outlying socially liberal states. Second, the Act defines marriage traditionally for purposes of federal law, thereby preventing novel and unjustified interpretations of federal statutes and regulations. This aspect of the law has ensured much-needed uniformity across federal law and programs.

|Response time
|A few hours
|Calendar updated
Located moments away from "Sé" and the historic "Castle of St. George", the famous "Prata" street is in the heart of the old town and walking distance to two undergrounds stations as well as the notorious #28 streetcar that climbs the hills of Lisbon in a classic fashion. The neighborhood is known as "Baixa" where you will find "Terreiro do Paço" - one of Europe's largest squares from where the Portuguese sailors set ship centuries ago.
One of the best things about this area is that you can walk pretty much everywhere! In any case, there are a lot of options with regards to public transport. A 5 minute walk will get you to "Rossio" from where you can catch the train to an UNESCO World Heritage Site, the village of "Sintra". A longer walk (about 15m) will get you to "Cais do Sodré" from where you can get to several beaches in a heartbeat. If it's nightlife you're looking for then "Bairro Alto" is also a small walk away!
There are plenty of mini-markets around where you can do your food shopping in case you want to cook at home. There are also some fantastic specialized wine shops in case you want to try the finest Portuguese wines.
Restaurants and pastry shops (if you haven't tried our local pastries then you're missing out!) can be found abundantly with a good price range.
For all of this, and a lot more, welcome to the Prata Street!
House rulesAs an easy going host, I don't have many rules. All I ask is that you treat the flat as if it were your own. I want you to have a good time in Lisbon and if you need any help I'm available and as such I only have one rule: please leave the flat as you found it!

Unfortunately, the experiences we have made were not very good. The check-in was chaotic. Despite demonstrable communication about change in the arrival time was the contact person Duarte, who had been assigned to me by Pedro Alves, not Vorort.P. Alves was in Spain and could not be reached by telephone (only one mailbox was connected). According friendly Supports another agency, we then can make contact with Duarte and P. Alves. When we finally came to the key, it turned out, it was now 18.30 clock that the apartment was not cleaned. Zugemüllt.keine filthy and beds made. Duarte explained that the cleaning lady is single parent and no possibilities had to clean the apartment. The whole apartment is decorated very unfriendly, probably just to attract tourists to the table So if you want to enrich their holiday a "great experience". Should booked. Never again & money back!
Leider waren die Erfahrungen, die wir gemacht haben nicht sonderlich gut. Der Check-In verlief chaotisch. Trotz nachweislicher Mitteilung uber Änderung der Ankunftzeit war der Ansprechpartner Duarte, der mir von Pedro Alves zugewiesen worden war, nicht Vorort.P. Alves weilte in Spanien u. war über Telefon nicht zu erreichen( nur eine Mailbox war zugeschaltet).Nach freundlicher Unterstüzung einer anderen Agentur, haben wir dann Kontakt zu Duarte und P. Alves herstellen können. Als wir endlich an den Schlüssel kamen, stellte sich heraus, es war mittlerweile 18.30 Uhr, dass die Wohnung nicht gesäubert war. Total verdreckt und zugemüllt.keine Betten bezogen. Duarte erklärte uns, dass die Putzfrau Alleinerziehend ist u. noch keine Möglichkei hatte, die Wohnung zu säubern. Die Wohnung insgesamt sehr unfreundlich gestaltet, dient wahrscheinlich nur um Touristen über den Tisch zu ziehen Wer also seinen Urlaub um ein" tolles Erlebnis".bereichern möchte, sollte hier buchen. Nie wieder u. Geld zurück !!!
The apartment is in a central location, very comfortable to walk around in a large part of the center.
Apartment spacious, clean, equipped with everything (including wi-fi). Good availability and flexibility in the management of the owner of the arrival time.
Very comfortable and relaxing the spacious living room.

Current Weather: Holland, MI

Faces Seen, Hearts Unknown: Latino Students and College Persistence by Yolanda Vega, Assistant Director, Hope College TRiO Upward Bound Program will be held Monday, February 4 from 7 - 8 p.m. in Winants Auditorium of Graves Hall, reception following.
This is the annual Schregardus Phelps Scholars Lecture, sponsored by Darell and Mary Schregardus. The number of Latino students at Hope College nearly quadrupled between 2001 and 2011, rising from 46 to 175. Given the projected decline in white high school graduates (especially in Michigan), and the rapid increase in Latino high school graduates across the nation, we need to ask ourselves some important questions: Are we well-prepared to serve Latino students? What do individual faculty and staff need to know? What kinds of institutional changes should we consider?
Yoli Vega is a Hope alumna who has served in many roles at the college, from Admissions to Multicultural Life to Upward Bound. Last year, she completed a master's degree in higher education; her research project was on Latino persistence to graduation. We are grateful that she is willing to share what she has learned.

Bob Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, said the defeat of the farm bill is troubling because the bill is often passed on a large bipartisan vote. Additionally, he said the failure of the House GOP leadership raises questions about their legislative acumen.
"The farm bill is a major bill and the majority party is not supposed to bring up a major bill unless it's confident that it can pass it. This level of miscalculation should not occur," he said.

What if the world is complex? Here, symmetry is broken; there, the seemingly simplest of chemical reactions, hydrogen burning to water, has a messy mechanism. The means by which one subunit of hemoglobin communicates its oxygenation to a second subunit, an essential task, resembles a Rube Goldberg cartoon. Not to speak of the intricacies of any biological response, from the rise of blood pressure or release of adrenalin when a snake lunges at us, to returning a Ping-Pong serve with backspin. Max Perutz's theory of the cooperativity of oxygen uptake, the way the ribosome functions—these require complicated explanations. And yes, the inherent tinkering of evolution has made them complex. But simpler chemical reactions—a candle burning—are also intricate. As complex as the essential physics of the malleability, brittleness and hardness of metals. Or the geology of hydrothermal vents.
When things are complex yet understandable, human beings weave stories. We do so for several reasons: A-->B requires no story. But A-->B-->C-->D and not A-->B-->C'-->D is in itself a story. Second, as psychologist Jerome Bruner writes, "For there to be a story, something unforeseen must happen." In science the unforeseen lurks around the next experimental corner. Stories then "domesticate unexpectedness," to use Bruner's phrase.
Storytelling seems to be ingrained in our psyche. I would claim that with our gift of spoken and written language, this is the way we wrest pleasure, psychologically, from a messy world. Scientists are no exception. Part of the story they tell is how they got there—the x-ray films measured over a decade, the blind alleys and false leads of a chemical synthesis. It is never easy, and serendipity substitutes for what in earlier ages would have been called the grace of God. In the end, we overcome. This appeals, and none of it takes away from the ingenuity of the creative act.
In thinking about theories, storytelling has some distinct features. There is always a beginning to a theory—modeling assumptions, perhaps unexpected observations to account for. Then, in a mathematically oriented theory, a kind of development section follows. Something is tried; it leads nowhere, or leaves one dissatisfied. So one essays a variation on what had been a minor theme, and—all of a sudden—it soars. Resolution and coda follow. I think of the surprise that comes from doing a Fourier transform, or of seeing eigenvalues popping out of nothing but an equation and boundary conditions.
Sadly, in the published accounts of theories, much of the narrative of the struggle for understanding is left out, because of self-censorship and the desire to show us as more rational than we were. That's okay; fortunately one can still see the development sections of a theoretical symphony as one examines an ensemble of theories, created by many people, not just one, groping towards understanding.
The other place where narrative is rife is in the hypothesis-forming stage of doing science. This is where the "reach of imagination" of science, as Jacob Bronowski referred to it, is explicit. Soon you will be brought down to earth by experiment, but here the wild man in you can soar, think up any crazy scheme. And, in the way science works, if you are too blinded by your prejudices to see the faults in your theoretical fantasies, you can be sure others will.
Many theories are popular because they tell a rollicking good story, one that is sage in capturing the way the world works, and could be stored away to deal with the next trouble. Stories can be funny; can there be humorous theories?

I brought my truck home to clean it up and replace the tail lights. I notice my truck air brake does not hold like it used to. I figure the slack adjusters need adjusted but I am not sure how to do it so I joined this forum. I would appreciate any help you can offer. I would like to adjust them tomorrow since I have all the other work completed. I am mechanical but have worked mostly on fords. Here is what the truck I built looked like when finished and what I started with. So if you give me the basics I will be able to adjust the brakes. I looked at the slack adjusters and saw what I thought to be the stud to turn to adjust the brakes but thought I would make sure before I screwed up something.

Turkey Production Survey
Wild Turkey Production and Population Survey Results for 2004
The 2004 hunting season was the 26th year of our annual turkey population survey. The continuing cooperation of turkey hunters has made the survey possible. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. The information you provide is valuable in several ways.
Turkey Production Index Survey
This survey was conducted from May through August from 1978 thru 1990. Beginning in 1991, the annual survey period was shortened to June through August. Field personnel of the Game Management, Law Enforcement, and Fisheries Management Sections of the Wildlife Resources Division are involved in data collection. All observations of turkey broods and hens, with and without poults, are reported.
In 2004, 354 broods were seen, down 21.0% from 448 in 2003. However, brood totals can be misleading as a measure of production. The number of poults per observer is the best measure or index of relative reproduction success because it accounts for annual differences in number of observers and poults in broods (see Table 1). The average brood size of 10.55 poults seen in 2004 was 80.4% greater than observed in 2003 (5.85). The statewide production index of poults per observer (18.28) was 39.4% greater than last years 13.11. The average number of poults per hen was 2.0 in 2004 up 68.6% from 1.2 in 2003, which was the lowest in 25 years of the study. An average of 3.0 or above is usually considered an indicator of good production.
These data suggest that on a statewide basis turkey production was still depressed in 2004, and can be considered poor, especially when compared to the excellent reproduction in 1993-95. Cyclic, up-and-down trends are a natural aspect observed in wildlife populations, especially in turkeys as reproduction can be greatly affected by unpredictable, spring weather conditions. The recent extremes in Georgia weather can also impact reproductive success because of variable insect production and habitat quality. Managing for quality habitat should remain a priority to avoid additional limitations during seasons of low production and to take advantage of upward trends in reproduction. Overall, Georgias turkey population is still very good.
Hunting Population Index Survey
This survey is conducted during the spring gobbler season with hunt data being supplied by hunter volunteers. Specific information requested about each hunting trip from our hunter cooperators is the date, hours hunted, county or region of the state hunted, the number of turkeys seen, the number of gobblers heard, and the number of gobblers killed.
The hours of hunting effort per turkey observed is used as an index of the hunting population. The correlation between this index and the production index is used in evaluating annual production and resulting hunting season populations.
Hunt information in usable form was supplied by 440 of the 2,000 hunters contacted in 2004. They reported making 4796 trips totaling 16,151 hunting hours. The season hunting effort per cooperator was 10.9 trips totaling 36.7 hours. This is a slight increase from the 2003 season average effort.
A total of 11,287 turkeys (hens and gobblers) were seen. The statewide population index of 1.4 hunting hours per turkey seen was relatively the same as in 2003, which is very good, judging from the 25 years surveyed (see Table 2). The lowest effort per bird seen was in the Ridge and Valley, Lower and Upper Coastal Plain counties.
Cooperators reported hearing 7,938 gobblers (see Table 3). The hours of hunting per gobbler heard averaged 2.0 hours. Fair to good reproductive success in years past along with an abundance of adult gobblers once again were factors contributing to the continued low hunting effort per gobbling bird in 2004. The effort per gobbler heard was least in Upper and Lower Coastal Plain and highest in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Peak gobbling activity , 2.2 gobblers heard per trip, occurred during the second weekend (March 27-28) of the season.
The statewide harvest during the first seven days of the 2004 season accounted for 33.0% of the total season harvest (see Table 6). The average amount of hunting effort to kill a gobbler, 23.4 hours (Table 4), decreased by 2.3 hours from 2003. Statewide hunter success rose slightly to 69.3% with 305 of the 440 cooperators taking at least one bird. Of these, 113 (25.7%) hunters took or assisted in taking one bird, 83 (18.9%) took or assisted in taking two birds, and 109 (24.8%) took or assisted in taking three birds. Cooperators reported 110 gobblers killed by companions.
2005 Season Forecast
According to a post-season survey, Georgias estimated 36,000 turkey hunters had a good spring season in 2004, harvesting about 24,000 birds statewide. The average harvest per hunter (0.65) was the same as in 2002 and 2003. Of the turkey hunters surveyed after the season, 76% rated the turkey hunting good or excellent, while less than 7% rated it as poor. Across the state the 2005 spring season in general should be good again depending upon the weather and the number of residual adult birds.
Because reproduction has been on a slight upturn up until the past spring, there may be more adult birds than juveniles this season. Overall the states turkey population is still strong, but in need of a few years of better reproduction. Hopefully, reproduction will rebound and the future will remain bright for Georgias number one game bird. Good luck and good hunting.

Here we go again. Its been a long time between tales so I thought it necessary to let you in on what has been happening since my last entry.
So here goes....I must warn you a coffee and some snacks might be necessary to have while your looking through thses pictures as I have added loads!!! No joke. Needed to get this long one out now so the others can follow soon enough after.
After an interesting year and half in Doha, Qatar I thought it was time to hit the road again and see what else is around the corner
I arrived in London and spent a week seeing mates and going out to Wimbledon for a look. After London I flew to Stockholm and met up with Pauly, Katie, Kate and Marcus at the bus station. It was awesome seeing them again after such a long time. We soon found out floating hostel for the night and over the next few days we hit the sights and ended up with nine people from Aus cruising the streets.
After Stockholm a few of us flew to Copenhagen for a few days which was awesome, then we flew on to Amsterdam for a few days. That place is beautiful. We ate some fantastic food and had a great time looking around the canals and seeing a few sights like the Anne Frank and Van Gogh's artwork.
Craig met us in Amsterdam and we then took a flight to Denmark to go see my friends and family and show Craig a little of why I love going back so often. It was the most amount of food we have eaten so far and the parties weren't too far behind either.
Denmark to Berlin where we stayed a few days and did the touristy sights. Neither of us realised what a cool city it was before we arrived
From Berlin we took a train to the Czech Repbulic where we are now. We've been staying with a friend of mine from work in Doha. She lives in a little town close to the border with Germany so we had a day of castles and canoeing yesterday and now it's almost time to head to Prague again before we travel to Croatia for a bit of island hopping and fun.
Hope you like the pics.
It's awesome being on the road again.

Loans are funds that are borrowed to help meet educational expenses. Loans provide funds now, but require future repayment. Interests rates and repayment terms vary for different types of loans. Before you accept a student loan, you should carefully consider the cost of the loan–and the commitment you are making to repay it–against the advantages of borrowing for college expenses.
Although your financial aid offer may contain an offer for a student loan, you have the right to decline your loan offer. You may also request a loan that is less that the amount you were originally offered. In fact, Financial Aid will only originate a student loan, for you if you accept your loan and sign a Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN). You may return all or a portion of your quarterly loan to the University within 14 days of disbursement, and we will return the funds the Direct Loan Program. After 14 days, you may repay all or a portion of your student loan directly to the Direct Loan Program. There is no prepayment penalty on any student loan.
CSU's Student Lending Code of Conduct
All Cal State East Bay staff are held to a strict code of conduct governing the administration of student loans. These rules specifically govern activities involving our interactions with private lending institutions. Please click on the link below to read the full policy:
Loan Repayment Conditions
Loans must be repaid according to the terms agreed upon even if:
- You are dissatisfied with your educational program
- You do not complete your degree
- You are underemployed when you leave school.
You may return Direct Loans funds to the Cashier up to thirty days after your refund is issued. After thirty calendar days, you must contact your Direct Loan servicer to repay loans refunded to you.
Planning for Loan Repayment
You are encouraged to prepare a budget and to consider using part-time employment to help meet your expenses. Many students borrow excessively, and later find themselves burdened with large monthly loan payments after graduation. Make the sacrifice to live modestly now, so that loan debt does not prevent you from upgrading your standard of living when you begin to repay your loans.
Obtaining a Loan
After your Financial Aid application (FAFSA) has been sent to the University and evaluated, check your account in MyCSUEB for the status of your financial aid application. New students will receive a Financial Aid Offer Letter, which should contain a loan offer. To obtain your loan, complete the following steps:
- Meet the requirements listed in MyCSUEB To Do List, including attending a Direct Stafford Loan Counseling Session (for new borrowers at Cal State East Bay, and for continuing students who have experienced a prolonged break from classes)
- Register for a minimum of 6 units (for undergraduates, second bachelor's, teaching credential or unclassified students) OR a minimum of 4 units (for master's degree students)
- Use MyCSUEB to accept your actual loan offer, when it is no longer an estimated amount.
- Sign your Federal Direct Stafford Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN).
If you have a Department of Education Personal Identification Number or PIN, you may use your PIN to e-sign your MPN. Cal State East Bay uses the MPN as a multiple, or serial note. This means the first MPN you sign can be used for multiple loans, and can cover a 10-year borrowing period.
Types of Loans
There are a variety of loan types available to students. Some loans are administered through government-sponsored programs, such as Perkins and Stafford loans. There are loans available for parents, graduate and professional degree students (PLUS loans). Some loans are for students who plan to be educators, and other loans are available for military personnel or loan consolidation. Each loan has a separate application process:
Need Help Repaying Your Loans?
When you graduate, or know you will cease college attendance for more than six consecutive months, you should immediate contact your Loan Servicer or the Department of Education.
Don't know who your Loan Servicer is? Simply go to: http://www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/ and create an account that will allow you to see your full loan history, loan balances, and Loan Servicer information.
Don't ruin your future by defaulting on your student loans. If you can't begin making payments at the scheduled time, or if you can only make very small payments, one of the repayment options below may be right for you:
- Loan Payment Deferment
- Loan Consolidation
- Income Sensitive or Graduated Repayment
- Loan Forgiveness, Discharge, or Cancellation
You can learn more about your loan repayment options at: https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action
The Financial Aid Office can also help you keep your student loans in good standing. Contact us at: email@example.com or telephone us at (510)885-2784 for assistance.
Don't Forget to File a FAFSA for Each Year
Students must apply each year to obtain financial aid or to continue receiving aid by submitting a FAFSA. FAFSA deadline for priority consideration is March 2.

How do you break the ice with kids and create their first introduction into roleplaying games?
As a GeekDad that has been roleplaying since I was about 12 years old, I have been anticipating an introduction to roleplaying for my three daughters. Sharing my love for a game that rewards the use of imagination, math skills, and creativity sounds like a good thing, right? The struggle geek parents generally have are in relation to the timing of when to introduce a roleplaying game and just as importantly, how to introduce it.
My opportunity to break new ground in the roleplaying world with the next generation of young gamers was recently presented to me. Recently, my wife and I gave our friends a much-needed date night by watching their kids. Our friends have four kids (ages 2 through 9) and my wife and I have three kids (ages 6 months through 6 years). My primary job for the evening was to manage the nine year old boy since the rest of the kids would happily play with one another or were young enough to stay out of trouble. The nine year old boy was older than all of the rest of the kids and an avid board-gamer, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to introduce him to a roleplaying game.
