Biden to Zapatero: Hey, thanks for all that help in Iraq
posted at 9:48 am on March 29, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Barcepundit catches Joe Biden in Spain doing … well, what Joe Biden does best. Joe Biden remembered to thank Spanish Prime Minister Jose Zapatero for all the help he gave us in Iraq, except that the only thing Zapatero gave us in Iraq was the finger:
MAN, BIDEN IS A GAFFE WITH LEGS: during his meeting with Spain's primer minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in Chile yesterday, Biden thanked Zapatero for his effort… in Iraq (link in Spanish, haven't found this detail in any English-language media).
As everybody knows, the first decision Zapatero made after his unexpected win in 2004, right after the Madrid train terrorist attacks, was to abruptly and unilaterally pull out from Iraq. So either Biden made a gaffe, or he was thanking Zapatero for angering Bush…
No, I think Biden would have been blunt enough to just say, "Thanks for ticking off George Bush." It should be noted that the Spanish Finger to the US didn't just include pulling out of Iraq, but also refusing to train Iraqi security forces.
Originally, Zapatero explained his abrupt retreat by objecting to a lack of UN mandate for the mission. When the UN finally did give the US a mandate for rebuilding Iraq, Zapatero refused to return to the coalition. In doing so, he earned the (unfortunately) undying gratitude of … Moqtada al-Sadr. So I guess Biden and Sadr share that feeling of gratitide. In the end, of course, the fast retreat Zapatero conducted did nothing to remove the former al-Andalusia from al-Qaeda's sights. Just six months after announcing their withdrawal, AQ tried bombing their High Court.
Regarding Iraq, Biden should have said, "Thanks for nothing." But then again, no one but Barack Obama really thought Biden was a foreign-policy expert, anyway.

Jeff, most moisture conditions are not in the dead of winter. It happens in the fall and spring when the conditions are right. The conditions you have allow your hives to make it through without a problem. Not everyone will have that luxury. What you don't know is would you have had 26 out of 26 make it through this winter if you did not use the chip bed?
In this instance I am going to side with the commercial operators moving thousands of hives all over the country and not using the chip bed method of overwintering. In my line of reasoning it has zero value. You obviously feel completely different otherwise you wouldn't do it. That's OK. Do what you like.
John would like to know why it didn't work for him. I gave my reasoning what is yours?

Requirements for the Major in Geography
Requirements for the Major in Cartography and Geographic Information Systems
Related Courses for Either Major
Double Major in Geography and Cartography/GIS
Five Groups of Geography Courses
Honors in the Major
160 Science Hall, 550 North Park Street, Madison, WI 53706; 608-262-2138; www.geography.wisc.edu
Professors Burt, Cadwallader, Cronon, Downey, Kaiser, Knox, Mason, Naughton, Olds, Ostergren, Turner, Williams, Zhu; Associate Professors Alatout, Dennis; Assistant Professors Baird, Gibbs, Marin-Spiotta, Ozdogan, Robertson, Roth, Schneider, Woodward, Young
Undergraduate advisors in the major: The department's undergraduate advising committee represents various areas of concentration. Studentsshould see the committee member representing the concentration of interest. Office hours of committee members are posted in the department office and on the website.
Faculty diversity liaison: Kristopher Olds, email@example.com
Geography studies the interaction between people and their environments including the ways in which the people, the environments, and the interactions all vary from place to place over the earth. Because it is concerned with the character of people and their cultures on the one hand, and with the character of the earth's surface and its resources on theother, it is both a social and a natural science. Being broad and integrative, geography provides an appropriate foundation for a liberal education. It also provides a base for employment in public or private agencies, both domestic and international, concerned with environmental management, locational analysis or planning (urban, regional, land use).
Cartography/GIS, also known more broadly as geographic information science, studies and develops digital technology and the theory behind this technology to help people work with geographic information. This broad area interfaces with work from the physical and social sciences. It is a field devoted to the acquisition, management, analysis, visualization, and representation of geospatial data. It is a relatively new discipline that incorporates geography, cartography, spatial analysis, and related fields such as geovisualization, geodesy, geocomputation, cognition, and computer science. At the present time professionals trained in geographic information science are very much in demand by federal agencies, state and local governments, and private firms.
The student desiring a limited introduction to the field of geography may select any introductory course in cultural or physical geography. Students with special interests in any of a number of fields outside of geography, such as history, political science, economics, anthropology, sociology, meteorology, geology, etc., will find useful background courses in geography. The student desiring a limited introduction to the field of GIScience may select either Geog 170 or 370 or 377. Students in landscape architecture, urban and regional planning, civil and environmental engineering, medical illustration, or the environmental sciences may find GIScience a useful addition to their major course of study.
Department course offerings are listed in five major groups. Courses in Groups 1 and 5 (except Geog 577) are counted as physical science; those in Groups 2 (except Geog 230 and 240), 3, and 4 are counted as social science.
All students must fulfill the L&S requirement of at least 15 credits of upper-level work in the major completed in residence. All courses in the department identified as intermediate or advanced count toward this requirement.
Requirements for the Major in Geography
To qualify for a major in geography, a student must earn a minimum of 30 credits in geography and must meet three requirements:
1. Breadth of Study

b. A concentration, approved by the advisor, consisting of at least three related intermediate or advanced level courses (including at least one advanced level course). Either:
(1) A concentration from one of the Groups 1, 2, or 3.
(2) An individual concentration proposed by the student and approved by the advisor.
c. A grade point average of 2.0 or higher for the courses in the major.
Requirements for the Major in Cartography and Geographic Information Systems
The undergraduate major in cartography and GIS requires a minimum of 30 credits in geography. The major must include:
1. Core (required)
360 Quantitative Methods in Geographical Analysis (offered only in spring)
370 Introduction to Cartography
377 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (Geog 370 and 377 should be taken before cartography electives.)
565 Colloquium for Undergraduate Majors (offered only in fall)

Remote Sensing: Envir St 401 fall (Schneider, intro); Envir St 401 spring (Schneider, intermediate); Envir St 556
GPS: Geol 444
Related Courses for Either Major
Students are strongly advised to take foundation courses in those disciplines most appropriately related to their chief interests within geography: botany, geology, mathematics or statistics, civil and environmental engineering, anthropology, economics, history, political science, as well as in the most appropriate foreign languages if graduate study is contemplated.
Double Major in Geography and Cartography/GIS
For students pursuing a double major in Geography and Cartography/GIS, Geog 360, Geog 370, Geog 377, and Geog 565 are considered double-counted courses. The 15-credit upper level requirement may include Cartography major course work.

Your are right. The show has definitely lost a lot of it appeal for me. They wants the contestants to come up with something new. Excuse me! Over the last 100 years, everything has been done over and over and over and over. they can't come up with something new. We have seen it all before, again and again. All they can do is make something we have seen before but put their twist on it, and I can guarantee we have seen it before. I can't stand Heidi, Zac and Nina's remarks. I just want to slap them. They couldn't do any better. I have seen Zac's designs, they look the same as the contestants on the show. I wish they would just judge the contestants designs without the horrible critiques. Just pick out the best and the worst. Leave out all the bull chit in between. We really don't want to hear it. Also they need to start letting the tv viewers vote. I have never agreed with anything Heidi liked.

Employers have welcomed Government moves to boost apprenticeship training.
"More overall funding, higher requirements for educational content and financial incentives to enter into apprenticeships are useful changes," said Business New Zealand chief executive Phil O'Reilly.
"Higher incentive payments for priority construction trades will particularly help get the skills needed for the Christchurch rebuild."
The Government's target is to see 14,000 new apprentices start training over the next five years, in addition to the 7000 who now enrol each year.
Outlining the changes in a speech in Auckland yesterday, Prime Minister John Key said the educational content of apprenticeships would be boosted and employers would have options if their industry-training organisations did not preform.
The Government will give the first 10,000 new apprentices who enrol after April 1 $1000 towards their tools and off-job course costs, or $2000 if they are in priority construction trades.
The same amount will also be paid to their employers.
O'Reilly said the increased focus on higher educational content would need to complement, not replace, practical elements of the training.
"Allowing employers to get direct access to industry training funding to organise their apprenticeships if desired will bring competitive pressures on ITOs, and help build on their higher performance in recent months," he said.
Steven Joyce, Minister of Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, said employers or organisations seeking direct access to industry training funding would be subject to similar requirements to those ITOs face, with funding being used for formal industry-training programmes and trainees required to progress towards qualifications.
Age restrictions under the current Modern Apprenticeships scheme, which provides additional support only to apprentices aged 16 to 21 when they start their programmes, will be dropped.
Providing the same level of subsidy to all apprentices, including those outside the Modern Apprenticeships scheme, would increase overall funding for apprenticeships by about 20 per cent, Joyce said.
Higher subsidies will be available for a list of trades in the construction, infrastructure, engineering and electrical sectors. "A large number of apprenticeship-qualified people will be needed in coming years to meet the anticipated labour-force needs for the Christchurch rebuild, on-going infrastructure development and upgrading and increasing the housing stock," he said.
The total cost of the changes is estimated to be $106 million over the next four years. Joyce said Government funding for industry training trebled in the last decade, but value for money had been poor in terms of qualifications completed.
In 2009, more than 100,000 people funded to take part in industry training did not achieve a single credit. Purging the system of "phantom trainees", reducing the number of qualifications offered and putting the emphasis on achievement had freed up significant funding.

Can anyone provide some insight or secrets on to make honey fudge that actually comes out like honey fudge? The first batch I made came out prefect. The next batch came out dry as can be and the next three batches came out like honey fudge sauce which while good on ice cream is less than satisfying as honey fudge. I used the recipe on the National Honey Board for Old Fashioned Fudge which requires the following:
1 cup honey
2 oz. unsweetened chocolate or 1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup milk
2 Tablespoons corn syrup
2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup nuts, coarsely chopped
Butter a 9x5-inch pan. In a 2-quart saucepan, mix honey, milk, chocolate, corn syrup and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is melted and honey dissolved. Continue cooking, stirring frequently until mix reaches 236°F on candy thermometer or at soft ball stage. Remove from heat; add butter, cool to 120°F without stirring (bottom of pan will be lukewarm). Add vanilla and beat vigorously until candy is thick and loses its gloss (will hold shape when dropped from spoon). Add nuts quickly and spread evenly in pan. When firm cut into squares. Serving size 2 squares.
I heated the fudge to 236 degrees, took it off the heat and added the butter, waited for it to cool down to 120 degrees and added the vanilla, than stirred it with a spoon. It never really thickened up so I added it nuts and put it in the refrigerator. It looks like honey fudge sauce. Can anyone help me on what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

Over time, organic material can accumulate on HVAC cooling coils, reducing heat-transfer effectiveness.1 Often, system controls and building engineers compensate by increasing fan speed, lowering chilled-water temperature, and even pumping more refrigerant, all at the expense of energy efficiency. Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) energy can be used to irradiate HVAC cooling coils, returning resistance to airflow and heat-transfer efficiency to as-built levels and allowing building engineers to slow ...

I just picked up a four frame nuc today. Do I put it into the hive with the nuc frames in the middle with new foundation on the outside, or mix it up with foundation in between the nuc frames? Also do I need to feed the the bees in the hive with my miller type feeder?
P.S. Feel free to add other tips about installing the nuc. I need all the help I can get.

Port strike threatens Morehead City, East Coast
Labor dispute could trigger strike, halt shipping
MOREHEAD CITY - For the first time in 35 years, shipping at ports from Morehead City to Maine could grind to a halt, triggered by a labor dispute now in a stalemate.
Contract negotiations between workers who handle cargo and shipping companies have stalled, creating concerns that shipments could be disrupted along the Eastern Seaboard and Gulf of Mexico.
The dispute involves the International Longshoremen Association, a group representing port workers who load and unload cargo, and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, an organization serving shipping companies.
A deadline originally set for Sunday to finalize a new contract was recently extended 90 days until Dece. 29. A federal mediator in charge of the negotiations said in a statement the new time frame will allow discussions to be more productive.
"In taking this significant step, the parties emphasized that they are doing so 'for the good of the country' to avoid any interruption in interstate commerce," said George H. Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service.
The ILA represents workers from 55 American ports on the Gulf of Mexico and East Coast. A similar labor dispute closed 29 West Coast ports for 10 days in 2002. The dispute cost an estimated $2 billion each day of the strike.
The port at Morehead City is one of the deepest on the East Coast, a leading exporter of phosphate and the second largest importer of rubber shipments in the country.
Restaurant owner Jeff Garner runs Morehead City's landmark Sanitary Restaurant in the shadow of the port, and said in an interview Tuesday that no more longshoremen coming ashore would affect business.
"It would decrease our daily local traffic, certainly," Garner said. "Things are tough enough as it is. We don't want to see anything in our state cease to operate."
Labor negotiations remain behind closed doors, and information will be limited until the revised December deadline approaches.
"Due to the sensitive nature of these high profile negotiations, we will have no further comment on the schedule for the negotiations, their location, or the substance of what takes place during those negotiations," Cohen said in the latest statement regarding the mediation.
During the 2002 ports strike, President George W. Bush intervened to end the impasse. The current dispute centers around proposed changes in work hours and overtime pay.

Town Square
Menlo Park Mini Scandal
Original post made by LetTheTruthBeKnown, Menlo Park: The Willows, on Feb 25, 2007
The ousted majority of Winkler, Duboc and Jellins, used what was then a huge budget deficit projection, to push though a privatization of the taxpayer funded Burgess pool on a no bid contract to Tim Sheeper's Menlo Masters group. The financials of this contract as so un-favorable to the city it is ridiculous. A prominent member of that group was known to comment, "we were willing to pay rent, but the City never asked for rent". Well the Sinnott's have their "country club" taxpayer subsidized pool now and until we have another safety scare with parents and children put into grave danger from chlorine leaks or the like, it seems destined to stay that way.
Then the same majority tried to privatize child care using this dire budget projection. Although in my purview, I don't understand why the City is in the child care business at all, using a trumped up felonious financial projection to change the status quo was hardly ethical to say the least.
Suddenly this majority at election time announced the budget deficit is now a rather large budget surplus. Who and at what time period are we to believe on this issue? Apparently the voting citizens of Menlo Park did know who to believe, and the old majority is now gone. Those three are now represented by one council member, who was very fortunate to be elected at that.
Thus far this new council has not seemed to want to review the excesses of the past four years. Maybe it is indeed better to spend their time on looking forward rather than backward. But as many seem to be saying, the UUT was certainly passed under a umbrella of false information about the city finances. If you really feel strongly about it, the council should really get a task force moving to fully investigate the issue.
Since, City staff as well as outgoing City manager Boesch would be put under special scrutiny in such a investigation, this task force should be headed by a complete independent outsider. Perhaps a retired judge.
I would really like to know the answer to the mini scandal. Will this council have the fortitude to press the issue?
a resident of Menlo Park: University Heights
on Feb 28, 2007 at 11:10 am
I'd like to have answers to those questions too. Maybe the "scandal" can be explained by incompetence, but there's also the possibility that malfeasance was involved, and that would be far worse than scandalous.
What really got my blood boiling was Lee Duboc -- one of the council majority that pushed for privatization because of financial woes that now turn out to be bogus -- whining about how the voters had been misled about the city's financial status when they went to the polls to vote on the utility tax. The "misleading" was the fault -- get this -- NOT of the COUNCIL MAJORITY, of course, but of those naughty city staffers. Disgusting.
a resident of Menlo Park: Sharon Heights
on Feb 28, 2007 at 3:43 pm
There's actually a perfectly plausible explanation for how we got into this mess. The old council majority wanted to cut/privatize certain programs, getting rid of city staff in the process. Our dear city manager went along by producing ultra-conservative budgets that projected huge deficits - perfect political cover.
But with the "other side" (principally Fergusson) pushing for a tax increase instead of cuts, while their target of privatizing childcare was meeting fierce opposition from parents, the majority (through Ms. Winkler who made this proposal) decided to cut what they thought was a low-risk deal with Fergusson/Cohen at one particular council meeting last year, saying: We'll put a tax measure on the ballot if you get on board in looking at privatizing childcare before the November elections.
Problem was, they never in a million years thought the UUT would pass, but they did such a good "gloom-and-doom" job that it did (barely) pass (and remember, our beloved former Mayor came out with the "newly projected" surplus announcement just before the elections, so they must have realized that they had gone overboard and the UUT might actually pass).
Now with the UUT in place (and a new council evidently willing to spend it, save for John Boyle), we're stuck with it.
The way I see it: Just one last "kick-in-the-pants" from the old majority (although at least this time they didn't intend it to be one).
a resident of Menlo Park: University Heights
on Feb 28, 2007 at 4:21 pm
ElectionWatcher's possible scenario could well be how the whole mess unfolded, but it still doesn't let Lee Duboc off the hook. As far as I'm concerned, the entire council of that period bears responsibility for not demanding better financial data from Boesch. But for Duboc to stand up in public and bemoan the fact that the voters were misled without acknowledging her role in the farce and offering a mea culpa is outrageous. And, as I said earlier, disgusting.
a resident of Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park
on Mar 1, 2007 at 8:40 am
I'm also disgusted with what has unfolded and the disingenuous position former Councilmembers have taken. They deliberately ignored a golden opportunity to make progress on a legitimate budgeting process and meaningful financial analysis. They also misled the public in several ways. During the campaign season, they claimed that they had balanced the budget but neglected to mention they had not spent anything for too-long-deferred infrastructure improvements from the General Fund (normally $2 million minimum). Then they included it in the budget forecast for this year, the basis of the budget survey and decision to seek the UUT. Yet, neither budget includes set-asides for unfunded liabilities. They also claim that the UUT is not needed when they know full well that city services have been cut to the bone. No traffic enforcement, limited library hours.
One reason for conservative budgets is that, by law, the city must present a balanced budget. I'm not surprised that these often are wrong. However, this doesn't excuse city management (staff and Council) from evaluating the city's financial picture more broadly. And it doesn't excuse them from taking advantage of citizen talent to help in that process.
Last year, Councilmember Cohen proposed a citizen Budget Advisory Committee to help the Council with the budget challenges. In their infinite "wisdom", staff and Councilmembers Jellins, Duboc, and Winkler appointed the BAC but explicitly limited its scope to assisting with the budget survey. Along the way, the BAC made numerous recommendations about the need to evaluate the city's long-term obligations and revenue potential. Despite the investment these citizens and staff made to understand better the city's finances, the Council refused to allow the BAC to continue with any work. I'm hopeful the new Council will get moving on this. What a wasted opportunity otherwise.
a resident of Menlo Park: Allied Arts/Stanford Park
on Mar 4, 2007 at 10:41 am
Well some insiders got some infrastructure upgrades. Just drive down Bay Laurel drive, going west from San Mateo Drive. Note how the street was repaved a year ago between Dubocs, McClures, Matteson, Jrs., Boesch (one house in from Matteson on Cotton) when other streets in the area, and throughout town go neglected and will cost double now because they have deteriorated so much that it's too late for seal coating. Former Public Works director Steffens is interim city mgr., so ask him at the next council mtg. public comment who authorized this repaving ahead of others in greater need. Also, ask him why Don Dey, the former M.P. Traffic Engineer, who many feel was the henchman for developers, and no supporter of neighborhood traffic mitigations, is ghost writing staff Trans.Div. reports as a consultant on local neighborhood traffic issues. Don't expect the current mayor to ask the tough questions, me thinks she wants to be a county supervisor(?) when her term's up.

The Field Museum's century–long association with Africa is one devoted to exploring, communicating, and preserving Africa's spectacular natural and cultural legacy and the Council on Africa is an important collaborator in the Museum's efforts across the continent.
Members of the Council on Africa have a unique opportunity to work closely with scientists at The Field Museum and support their research financially. All contributions to the Council on Africa are pooled in a restricted fund at the Museum, and Steering Committee members meet semiannually to vote on how to allocate the resources.
The group considers proposals from anthropologists, botanists, geologists, and zoologists at the Museum and funds those which they deem most able to make a contribution to scientific knowledge and a positive impact in Africa.
Since 2006, The Council on Africa has contributed over $400,000 to 74 capacity-building and scientific projects in 10 countries: Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Mozambique, Malawi, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, and Madagascar.
The Council on Africa funds a broad range of projects from scientist training to seed funding of research to conservation efforts. See below for examples of each type of project funded by the Council on Africa.
Scientist training
- Two Malawian museum professionals came to The Field Museum as a result of a Council on Africa funded project led by Dan Brinkmeier and Tom Gnoske to be trained in specimen preparation, museum interpretation, and exhibit production techniques. This training was the first step leading to the development of a planned new natural history museum in Malawi.
- Norbert Cordeiro, Field Museum research associate and professor at Roosevelt University, explored if trees change sex in order to counter barriers against reproduction due to deforestation in the East Usambara Mountains in Tanzania.
Expanding Scientific Knowledge
- Council on Africa funding made it possible for Field Museum scientists Julian Kerbis, Research Associate Sushma Reddy, and Cornell University Graduate Student Holly Lutz. to conduct inventories of small mammals and birds of Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique, an exciting extension of ongoing long-term survey work across montane Africa. Federico Pardo made an award-winning short film about the expedition.
Seed Funding
- Bill Stanley and Julian Kerbis's longtime field work surveying small mammals in Tanzania and the Albertine Rift led to a National Science Foundation grant of $500,000, which would not have been possible without the Council on Africa's contribution to the project that enabled its beginnings. This 3-year project, in collaboration with Jake Esselstyn of Lousisiana State University, is investigating the diversity, relationships, and biogeography in one of the most species-rich and least-studied mammalian clades—the Crocidurinae, a subfamily of Old World shrews.
Council on Africa members receive many rewarding benefits by providing a minimum gift of $2,500. Detailed membership levels and benefits are described below:
$3,000 – Steering committee

On August 28, 1963, the civil rights movement reached its height of attention and impact with a huge March in Washington, D.C. The March on Washington attracted more than 200,000 marchers to the Lincoln Memorial. At the march, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. In it, he said: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Those words remain famous to this day.
After the march, King and other civil rights leaders met with President John F. Kennedy and Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson in the White House. In 1964, following the assassination of President Kennedy, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. The law guaranteed equal rights for black Americans in employment, voting, and the use of public facilities. In 1965, the Voting Rights Act ended racist laws that required black voters to pay a special tax or take a reading test before voting. The new law increased black voter registration throughout the South, especially in Mississippi.

Ticks & Lyme Disease Prevention
Preventing tick bites is the best way to prevent tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease.
It is important to be extra vigilant during the warm months when ticks are most active and people spend more time outdoors.
Tick and Lyme Disease Facts
- Lyme disease is spread through the bite of an infected blacklegged tick. Only the blacklegged, or deer tick, transmits the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. The Health Department provides a free tick identification service.
- How to remove a tick safely.
- See other types of ticks found in Fairfax County.
7 Ways to Avoid Tick Bites
- Avoid direct contact with ticks. Avoid wooded and bushy areas with high grass and leaf litter and walk in the center of trails. Learn how to maintain a tick-free yard.
- Use a repellent containing DEET. Repellents with DEET can be applied to exposed skin to help repel ticks. Follow the label instructions.
- Wear long, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Tuck your pants into your socks and your shirt into your pants so ticks don't have easy access to your skin. It's easier to see ticks when they are crawling on light-colored clothes.
- Use permethrin on clothing. Permethrin kills ticks and there are formulations to treat your clothes sold at sporting goods stores. Follow the instructions on the label.
- Check for ticks. While outside, take breaks to check yourself for ticks. Bathe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors (preferably within two hours) to wash off and more easily find ticks that are crawling on you. Do a thorough check at the end of the day; use a mirror or have someone help you check the hard-to-see places on your body.
- Promptly remove any attached ticks. Don't panic if you find an attached tick. Learn how to remove ticks properly.
- Examine gear and pets. Ticks can ride into the home on clothing and pets, then attach to a person later, so carefully examine animals, coats and backpacks.
More prevention tips: Download our free reference guide.
Symptoms of Lyme Disease
It's important to know the symptoms of Lyme disease so you can seek early treatment when necessary. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:
- A bull's-eye rash. (Not every person infected with the Lyme disease bacteria gets this rash.)
- Fever
- Headache
- Achy muscles and joints
- Fatigue
If you think you have Lyme disease or are concerned that you may have contracted a tick-borne illness, consult your physician as soon as possible.
Learn more about the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I loved that we put a 50-spot up on those *******s! They love to run the score up, so it was great seeing the SAINTS get spanked today. This was a long time coming as far as I am concerned.
The thing I can't figure out though, is Which team are the GIANTS?
Are they the team that has looked great against stiff competition like the '9ers, Pack and 'Aints, or the team that has looked listless against the Steelers and Bengals?
Last week was a weird game, but they should have put up 30 on the Redskins.
I do think they will beat the Falcons, but then will be challenged by the Ravens and even the Eagles.
I think we go 10-6, I think we make the Post Season.
I just can't figure these guys out though!

The Zippo story is almost too storied to recount. Founded in the 1930's by George G.

|Students Visit Employers and Alumni in NYC
|A New York City trip to visit employers and alumni at major firms has become an annual fall tradition for top finance and accounting students.
The visits began last year. Mike Zeitler '12 applied the lesson he learned on the inaugural trip: Get involved in extracurricular activities. He's now vice president of major events for Ithaca's chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, the honor society for accounting and finance students and professionals.
"After the firm visit last year, I knew I had to become more involved as well as maintain my good GPA," said Zeitler, an accounting major. "I took up a leadership role in Beta Alpha Psi, and although it's been a lot of work at times I'm really glad I did."
Leaders from Beta Alpha Psi helped the School's former professional development coordinator, Bethany Kilgore, plan the trip in early September for 28 upperclassmen. The group, accompanied by Kilgore, drove to New York City on a Wednesday evening and spent two full days visiting five firms – Ernst & Young, JP Morgan Chase, KPMG, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, and PwC – to network with employer representatives and alumni at each firm.
Ryan O'Connor '12, an accounting major and BAP chapter president, reinforces the alumni message about extracurricular involvement.
"Get involved on campus with something that you enjoy or pertains to your degree, and do your best to obtain a leadership role in that environment. Develop and diversify your skills," he said.
On last year's visit, O'Connor says, he learned more about what's required to obtain an internship: "I felt more comfortable sitting in on the interview and even felt as though I understood each firm's culture a little more as a result of the visit. Of course, grades are very important, but getting involved for the sake of self-development and attaining leadership positions give you some validity and experience with respect to your peers."
Alumni at KPMG and PwC sat down for panel discussions with the students, and nine alumni joined the students for a networking dinner on the first evening at Da Rosina on West 46th Street.
"The alumni we met were great – easy to talk to, willing to share their new experiences and give advice as to which way we can look for help," said O'Connor.
"I was most surrised with accessibility to alumni," said Mike Severo '12, a finance major. "I was able to schedule a couple of calls with the people I met with on the trip."
The alumni involvement impressed the students.
"Students assume that alumni will not have time or are uninterested in assisting them in their job pursuits. I've learned this couldn't be further from the truth," said Severo.
Preliminary planning for the trip involved balancing the needs of accounting majors and finance majors, said Severo. O'Connor and Zeitler assisted Kilgore in setting up details for the trip that included 26 juniors and seniors, two sophomores. Kilgore handled the contacts at the participating firms, while students made arrangements to stay at the Best Western Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, N.J., recruited drivers, assigned passengers, and oversaw logistics in New York City.
Ithaca's Beta Alpha Psi chapter was granted a charter in 2008. Members attend the Atlantic Coast Regional Conference in March and the Beta Alpha Psi National Conference in August. On campus, they are required to attend six professional events with guest speakers and perform 12 hours of community service per semester.
Zeitler says while he averages about two hours a week on BAP business, the hours soar to nearly 20 in the spring to plan the annual banquet that draws about 140 attendees. Members invite more than 200 students, family members and businesspeople.
The students agreed the New York City visit provided valuable insight into what it's like to work at a major firm.
"Even though many of the accounting firms or financial firms offer the same services, they each have their own unique culture," said O'Connor. "This is important because I personally want to be doing something I enjoy with people I enjoy. Without the combination of these two things, work would just be another job."
And students practiced their networking skills.
"Developing networking abilities and being comfortable with face time is imperative to the development of success," said Severo. "Any opportunity to expand these skills in one worth embracing, and this trip far exceeded my expectations in that regard."
For O'Connor, the opportunity to see accounting firms in action is the most valuable piece of his Ithaca education:
"I believe it has been the most beneficial experience of my academic career and opened my eyes to the world in which I will be working rather than just reading about it and studying it in the classroom."

Council continues discussion on Breezy roads
The Breezy Point City Council held its third workshop on roads Monday, June 17, facing a long list of questions regarding roads and the city's policy and procedures.
While the council was not able to address all the questions, discussion included a few specific areas of concern and some discussion over defining policy.
The first area of concern was Breezy Point Drive. Council member Scott Willer said that road should be pushed up on the list of priorities because it's the image of the city.
He also expressed a need for active maintenance on the roads the city has, especially on those roads that might be on the cusp of needing reconstruction. The council met a general consensus on that issue.
Council member Tom Lillehei suggested the city look into adding sewer to all properties within 1,000 feet of the shoreland impact zone. He said the improvements helped the lake quality on Minnetonka years ago.
The council also discussed Thrane Road. Though it's classified as a collector road, the consensus was that it wasn't a good candidate for paving because it didn't get enough use.
The council questioned the difference between a mill and overlay and reconstruction of a road. Some council members felt a single rule wouldn't possibly apply to all the issues, while others felt that defining each would make issues easier when it came to cost assessment.
The council agreed that some overlay or maintenance work might not be assessed, while reconstruction could be.
The council also questioned the need for a five-year improvement plan. Some council members felt the plan was a good idea to provide direction to the council, while others felt they tend to be unrealistic and are rarely adhered to. The council agreed that a more realistic five-year plan could be beneficial.
With much more to discuss, the council decided it will have another roads workshop and will set the date at its next council meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, July 1. Council member Diane Williams was not present June 17.

In the Groove for 50 Years
It's an American success story. In 1964, William and Hazel Kaiser founded a company to produce and market Thinbit, an innovative line of grooving tools. At first, the business operated out of the couple's attic and garage. Fifty years later, the Kaiser Tool Company's products continue to help shops such as Mack Tool and Engineering with successful solutions for demanding grooving applications.
The Kaiser Tool Company is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Thinbit grooving tools line in 2014. Though the company was founded in 1964 by William and Hazel Kaiser, Mr. Kaiser began developing the small grooving tools in the couple's garage and attic in the 1950s. Such tools were not widely available at the time, and ordering custom grooving tools was expensive and time-consuming. The Thinbit line was created as a result, offering a selection of tools ranging from 0.010" to 0.050" in 0.001" increments.
Today, Kaiser Tool employs more than 40 people and produces nine different lines of cutting tools, including the Thinbit, Microbit and Littlebit lines. Its products are sold in the United States and 20 other countries worldwide. The company moved to its current industrial facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1994 and is still family-owned and operated. Lenore Perry, daughter of William and Hazel, has been company president since 1982.
Most important, Kaiser Tool Company continues to help manufacturing companies with successful solutions for demanding grooving applications. A good example is Mack Tool and Engineering, a contract shop in South Bend, Indiana, that is using Thinbit Groove 'N Turn tools for tight-tolerance, application-critical operations such as cutting microgrooves on aluminum aerospace workpieces.
In the Mack Tool and Engineering example mentioned above, Joel Christensen uses Thinbit Groove ' N Turn inserts ranging in width from 0.0195 to0.065 inch with sharp and full-radius tips. He regularly achieves surface finishes of 16 to 32 Ra.

And anyone is free to defend Eli. I would defend Eli in this context because I don't think Edwards was giving Eli near enough credit. Its not the defending of Eli that bothers me at all. Its the attacks on Edwards. Its the suggestion that since he had a losing record as a HC, he has no understanding of football and is in no position to comment on current players. Its the suggestions that posters on a MB, none of whom every played or coached a down in the NFL are therefore MORE credible than this guy.
We all have our opinions and they are what they are. But I knew the reaction wouldn't be "Edwards is wrong and here's why". It was "Edwards is a scumbag and an incompetent".
Thats not really a defense of Eli at all.

High Knob Tower construction begins
WISE COUNTY, Va. - What was destroyed by an arsonist in 2007 is rising from the ashes as construction on the new High Knob Tower in Wise County has begun.
We visited the site and talked with those who've been working to restore the mountain icon that has taken 5-years to get started.
From the groundbreaking ceremony last summer high atop High Knob in Wise County to real earth-moving by a local contractor, work is finally underway to rebuild High Knob Tower.
"It's absolutely, and I think it's historic in itself in that it reflects both a long tradition of the residents and tourists being able to come to a tower and look over the beautiful natural beauty of the region," Lu Ellsworth with the High Knob Enchancement Corporation said.
A tower that was built in 1978 was destroyed by an arsonist's fire on Halloween night in 2007, which left the region without one of its most popular spots for seeing a remarkable view of five states from one of its highest vantage points.
Even without the tower visitors still came, but now the area is closed for construction. "At this time for the safety of the public and because they do have heavy equipment operating here I've closed the Knob and an area around it so people won't be tempted. It's still a location for people to come up and we've had a lot of people expressing interest in coming up, but I can't keep it open," district ranger Jorge Hersel says.
But when completed, the public can expect an icon in concrete, iron and stone; the estimated time for completion is eight months. "That's really the maximum time unless we really get foul weather, because I think they really hope to have it done before winter closes in," Ellsworth says.
Considering the time it has taken, almost five years, to the raise funds for the project, some of the frills were removed so fundraising is continuing. "We will again begin, whether it's next month or the next several months as we move toward opening, to see if we can raise some additional dollars to complete the project. But the tower itself and the access to it is all under this current contract," Ellsworth adds.
With completion, another celebration and gathering for what will become a monument to the beauty of the region.

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
I think I will use the Italian and Chestnut stuffing this year, thanks!
My turkey never turns out how I would like it to so I get my butcher to de-bone the thighs, drumsticks and breast, although I did leave the breasts on one year... After preparing my stuffing I lay the dark meat on a large flexible cutting board overlapping and flatten it somewhat so its in a nice large oblong shape. I add some s&p and add the stuffing in the middle, not tons as you have to roll it! Depending how large your turkey is obviously the more you can add. Roll fairly tightly and secure with a scewer, then I tie it off and remove the scewer. You can always wrap it up in foil and put it in the freezer till somewhat frozen and then it's much easier to tie, for me anyways! I do the same with the white meat. After cooking, let rest and cover with foil. Slice with a large serated knife and place on a platter. I like to dress mine up a bit with fuits or something festive. Everytime I make turkey this way, there are no left overs!

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
Hi Steph, Anna and Ann.
I have been working at Fifteen London with the guys in the kitchen. The food there is awesome! the produce is fantastic, the chefs are a great team who are all so knowledgeable about what they do, and the trainees are so thirsty for knowledge its realy unbelievable what they are doing there. I can't say enough good things about the whole place, the food or the people there...
Anna, I have been thinking about your Christmas Beef roast,
Make it special, Splash the cash, buy a rib roast on the bone, king of the roast beef.
I was thinking about mustard crust etc, but why bother messing around with a brilliant well hung, piece of meat???
Good beef should taste of beef right?
You can Christmas-up the rest of the flavours in the rest of the dish though!
Add a couple of big spoons of strong, english mustard to your yorkshire pudding batter.
Add a nice big grating of fresh horseradish to mash potatoes.
the honeyed parsnips, nice idea with the maple syrup by the way!
rosemary garlic roast pots.
There are a load of flavoured butters that add tons of flavour to steamed veg that I used last xmas, some ideas borrowed from Jamie! I will post them soon...
Its just a case of taking a brilliant meal, Roast beef with the trimmings, and making it a bit more funky using herbs, citrus, anything that adds flavour, texture and gives the dish that wow factor...
Your guests have probably eaten loads of roast beef dinners in the past. The trick to it is make yours the one they remember!!!!
I have a great recipie from one of my old chef mates Nobby... I will post it later tonight...
All the best guys
Dave Barker

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
I posted this one last Christmas.
White Christmas.
1 ½ cups Rice Bubbles.
1 cup powdered milk.
1 cup icing sugar.
1 cup dessicated coconut.
1/3 cup chopped glace cherries.
1/3 cup chopped green glace cherries.
1/3 cup sultanas.
250 grams white vegetable shortening ( Copha).
Line the base and sides of a shallow 28 x 18 cm tin with foil.
Combine the Rice Bubbles, powdered milk, sugar, coconut and fruit in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre.
Melt the shortening over a low heat. Cool slightly, then stir into the dry ingredients.
Spoon into the tin and smooth the surface. Chill for 30 minutes, or until set. Cut into pieces to serve. Store in the fridge in an air tight container for up to ten days. (If it lasts that long)
OR place in a nice box or tin wrapped with a ribbon and give as a present.
Hi Dave,
Thanks for all the recipe ideas. The roast beef sounds really good to me.
P.S. How is the herb garden?
#25 Thu 09 Nov 06 1:39am
Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
Hi Shammy,
The herbs garden has gone from strength to strength all summer! and has now been tidied up for the winter. still supplying me with great fresh flat leaf parsley, bay, rosemary,wild garlic, thyme, everything else has died right back... I am looking forward to the spring so that I can see it all come alive again... I miss my basil, that went beserk and took over nearly a third of the bed...
Still, managed to stock up well on fresh pesto to last me through the winter months. The tomatoes turned out really well too. We plan to extend it next spring and plant more veg and loads of new herbs now that the raised beds are in and we know that stuff thrives in my wicked soil mix and the drainage is all good too!
Anna, Here is my mates Christmas beef recipie,
1 bone-in rib of beef 2.25 - 3.2 kg (5 to 7 lb) make sure its hung for at least 21 days, 28 is even better!
half a teaspoon of plain flour
half a teaspoon of english mustard powder
half a teaspoon of dijon mustard
75ml good port
fresh beef stock
3 onions, peeled and quartered
3 red onions, peeled and quartered
3 tablespoons of good extra virgin oil
1 tablespoon of light Muscovado sugar
1 tablespoon good quality balsamic vinegar
Bring the meat to room temp, and pre heat your oven to 240oc / gas 9.
Heat a good quality roasting tray over the hob and sear the meat on all sides to seal in the juices.
Place the rib, fat side up in the tray. Sift the flour and mustard powder together and dust it over the fat.
Roast the joint on this realy high heat to give it a good sizzle for 30 mins or so.
then turn the heat down to 200oc / gas 6 and cook for further 15 mins per 450g (1lb) for medium, 12 mins for med rare, don't forget to baste the joint every 20-30 mins.
Place all onions in a bowl,pour over oil,season and toss well...
Arrange on one single layer in the bottom of a large roasting tray.
When there is only 40 mins left of roasting timeplace the onion dish in the ovenand roast for 20 mins.
Then stir in the sugar and balsamic and return to the oven.
cook for 30 mins til gold and caramelised, sticky and sweet / sour....
When the beef is done, remove from the oven, cover with foil and let the little beauty rest on a serving platter....
Skim fat from the top of the roasting juices and then place the tray over direct heat and add the port and heat gently.
de-glaze the pan and reduce down.
Stir in the dijon mustard and beef stock and simmer for a while.
check and season if needed.
add the resting juices from the beef.
Carve the beef, serve with the balsamic onions, and a nice big dollop of horseradish mash and the beautiful, rich port gravy...
Hope this helps mate
All the best
Dave B

Re: Dave Barkers Christmas Kitchen...
Hi again guys,
up until last year my xmas veg was, it has to be said a little bit boring.
I had already started to steam softer veg, so that they retained their colour and flavor, so that was a start. veg that tasted like veg, not boiled to b.uggery
Steaming veg is also wicked for xmas day because you can plonk them all on one hob ring...job done!, half the amount of pots and pans to wash up too... cool eh?
Then last year I grabbed a copy of Jamies Christmas, on that DVD was some brilliant ideas on putting flavoured butter with veg to add flavour to what could be a pit of plain old veg, don't get me wrong, I like carrot to taste of carrot etc... but jazzing it all up a bit for xmas seems like a cool idea to me. When someone eats a carrot its cool for them to have underlying flavours that compliment the humble carrot...subtle buttery flavours of cumin, thyme, orange zest...awesome, like I said, it gives your veg that wow factor
Her are some flavors that I used on my veg last Christmas:
PEAS...lemon juice and zest,and seasoning
BROCOLLI...chopped rosemary, anchovy, seasoning
CARROTS...cumin seeds, thyme, orange zest, seasoning
BABY TURNIPS...chilli, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, seasoning
BRUSSELS...bacon,sage and chestnut,
These are sooo easy to make, you can make them now and freeze them ready for the big day then just stir a nob of butter into your hot, steamed veg just before serving them.If there are any left overs you can use them served with jacket pots, or great on steaks.
you can make them in a blender, simply bung it all in, blitz then wrap tightly in clingfilm and freeze.
I made mine in a large pestle and mortar last year...
the only one that needs any special treatment is the bacon one for the brussels, fry the bacon first til crispy add the chestnuts, then finely chop, let it go cold before adding it to the butter or you will end up with a melted mess
See you all later
Give them a go, they will transform your veg!

"I love to make this recipe and take it to work for the week. I left out the salt and increased the relish to 2-3 T and added a bit more dill. The dill really makes a difference."
