How many of you would take your paycheque and throw 40 per cent of it in the garbage?
Anyone? Bueller?
Well, that's what Canadians are doing with the food they buy and don't eat -- and it's estimated that $27 billion dollars worth ends up in landfills or composts each year.
In Toronto alone, we blithely toss out a staggering 210 million kilograms of food annually, while people in our city and around the world are starving.
Food waste is an enormous problem that costs us money, drives up food prices, depletes environmental resources like water and land, and is just downright unnecessary.
But there is hope, my friends. There are tons of ways that you can reduce food waste in the kitchen that will save you time, money and your appetite.
- Don't toss food scraps. Save the trimmed ends or peelings of vegetables like celery, carrots, onions, mushrooms and potatoes in your freezer. Once you've got a big pile, throw them all in a pot, cover them with water and make homemade vegetable stock. And for the meat eaters, save the bones of chicken or fish to make stock, too.
- Love your leftovers. We know that variety is the spice of life, but sometimes you just need to make do with what you already have. Find ways to switch up yesterday's meal -- make mashed potatoes into hash brown patties, add leftover grains and beans to a soup or stew, or toss that tempeh into a sandwich. Here's a handy website where you can plug in your leftover ingredients and find great ways to use them. (Try this pate recipe made from juice pulp!)
- Make a shopping list. It's great to be spontaneous and flow with whatever kitchen vibes inspire you. It's also great to plan your meals ahead of time and know what ingredients you need in the right quantities, so cooking will be a breeze. Need some help? Check out our classes for inspiration.
- Buy what you need. Buying five avocados for the price of two is only a bargain if you'll actually use all of them before they go bad. Don't purchase things simply because they are on sale or the bulk price is cheaper, unless the items are ones that will last awhile, for example beans and grains.
- Get your kitchen organized. Take stock before you shop so you don't buy something you already have, move older produce to the front of the fridge so you'll use it first, keep an eye on expiry dates and make sure you have plenty of tupperware in case you need to toss something in the freezer. In other words, keep it together. Here are some quick tips for organizing your fridge.
- Learn how to make food last. We like things that last longer, don't we (wink, wink)? But seriously, folks, if you find that things in your fridge always go bad quickly it could be due to the way you're storing it. Many veggies last longer if you plunk them in a container of water, while herbs stay fresher if you pop them in a mason jar, wrap them with a recycled plastic bag and secure them with a rubber band. Not everything has to go in the fridge, either. Tomatoes, onions, garlic and root veggies can all be stored on your counter. Prep veggies as soon as you get home from the grocery store, and keep them in cute nifty glass food containers!
- The freezer is your friend. Leftover soups, stews, salsas, curries and sauces all store well in the freezer. Freeze fruits on a parchment-lined baking sheet and then store them in sealed containers. Pulverize stale bread and freeze your new breadcrumbs. Use those ice cube trays for more than just water -- stuff them with pestos or vegetable stock instead so you can pop one into your cooking later for an extra hit of flavour. The nice thing about storing food in the freezer is you'll have instant frozen meals for when you're in a hurry!
- Learn the art of pickling, canning and preserving. You don't need to get all fancy with your preservation methods. Check out Meghan's quick vid on how to make sauerkraut and other fermented foods, or make a huge batch of jam at the end of the summer and stick it in the freezer.
- Don't buy cheap food. Most people will rush out to buy the latest cell phone technology, but balk at paying more than 49 cents a pound for apples. We live in a culture that believes food should be cheap, and when we don't value our food it's easier to toss it. Buying good quality, organic food means you might make more of an effort to use it.
- Compost. When you feel you've exhausted every option, put your food waste in your compost pile. Make an effort for this to be your last resort, not your first.

Don't slip on your banana peel! Use it to shine your shoes instead. The inside of a banana peel contains potassium and oils that can protect your shoes, and doing so protects you from using toxic shoe polish, TLC says.
Chocolate? Bubble bath? That's right, it's your lucky day. Combine 1/2 cup boiling milk, 1/2 cup melted 35 per cent cocoa (for a high concentration of antioxidants), and 1 cup bubble bath, said Diana of Spafinder.com on The Doctors TV show.
For a flavoured fruit cocktail, collect peels or rinds and stick them in a bottle of vodka (or another clear liquor) and let sit in a cool, dry place, Earth911.com suggests. Vodka with cucumber or fresh herbs for mojitos are also fresh ideas, the site notes. Photo credit: ambernambrose, Flickr
Crush egg shells and put them in your kitchen sink strainer to help catch solids. They also clean your drain naturally as they break down, TheDailyGreen.com says.
Scraps aren't the only kind of food refuse we trash -- what about the packaging? Cut a cereal box on the diagonal for a crafty magazine holder, or use egg cartons to store jewelry, Kimberly Danger, author of Instant Bargains, advises.
Add dried orange peels to your fireplace flame.The peel's oil fuels the flames, and can even keep your chimney cleaner than using conventional kindling products, ApartmentTherapy.com notes.
Because it's rich in enzymes, and vitamins A and C, pumpkins make for great skin products, SheKnows.com says. The Doctors TV show and Diana of Spafinder.com shows you how: To create your own pumpkin facial, combine 2 tsp pumpkin, 1/2 tsp milk, 1/2 tsp honey, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon spice. Mix with your hands, apply it to your face, and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing. Photo credit: DrBacchus, Flickr

Reid pulls the DREAM Act out of DoD bill
posted at 8:52 am on September 27, 2007 by Bryan
The DREAM Act would give in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, and it had no place in a Defense bill. Though Reid has pulled it out of the war spending bill, it's not dead yet.
Majority Leader Sen. Reid (D-NV) has apparently decided that the DREAM Act will not be voted on as an amendment to the DoD bill. He hopes, however, to have this measure voted on by some time in November.
Read the rest for a bit more reaction. Reid's office has posted a press release reiterating his support for the DREAM Act, in English and Spanish.
Rest assured, Reid will go to bat for all those "undocumented Americans" as soon as he can.

12-year-old from Eastern Carolina killed in N.Y. bike accident
NEWPORT, CARTERET COUNTY - Funeral arrangements have been set for a 12-year-old Newport native killed in a bicycle accident in New York.
Imani Tyshawn Gilbert's funeral is scheduled to to be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at Mt. Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in Newport, according to his obituary. Burial will follow at Bayview Cemetery in Morehead City.
The 12-year-old Gilbert was biking to his first football practice at Herbert Hoover Middle School in Buffalo, N.Y. on Aug. 22. That was when a car hit the boy at an intersection, his family said.
Gilbert was pinned under the vehicle and it took a group of passers-by to free him, according to The Buffalo News. The victim was taken to Women and Children's Hospital in Buffalo, where he died the next day.
"All I have left is a lock of his hair," Amy Tupaz, Gilbert's mother, said. "
"He was perfect. He was good-mannered, good-hearted he loved being a big brother."
Gilbert was an incoming eighth-grader at Herbert Hoover Middle School and a member of the football team.
"Football was his life," Tupaz said. "That's what he wanted to do with his life."
Police said it did not appear the driver who hit Gilbert was at fault, The Buffalo News reported. The driver was turning on a green light, investigators said. In addition, drugs, alcohol or cellphone use were not involved. No charges have been filed.
Gilbert is survived by his father, Terrance Ferguson of Tonawanda, N.Y., his mother, Amy Tupaz of Newport, five brothers, six sisters, paternal grandparents and great-grandparents.
The family did not have life insurance on Gilbert. They expect to pay all medical and funeral costs out of pocket.
Donations for the family can be sent to:
Oscar's Mortuary, Inc.
1700 Oscar Drive
New Bern, N.C. 28563

Springtime in the Shadow of Mt. Shasta
McCloud River Lodge • McCloud, CA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays ($130) or Fridays and Saturdays ($169) in a Jacuzzi or Whirlpool Room
- Two Cocktails or Glasses of Wine per Night for Each Guest
- $20 Dining Credit at Aaron's @ the Lodge
The Destination
It's hard to miss Mt. Shasta. The second-tallest peak in the Cascade Range, this 10,000-foot beast seems to rise from nothing, its majestic snow-capped peak holding court of much of Northern California. And in its shadow sits the tiny town of McCloud, population 1,000. Named for one of the first women, Mary McCloud, to summit Mt. Shasta, this low-key town about 200 miles from Reno attracts outdoor enthusiasts to its prolific trout streams; its hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing trails; its golf courses; its majestic waterfalls and lake; and its downhill skiing resorts. Of course, lounging around in town and sipping vino, maybe doing a little shopping on the town's historic Main Street, is a perfect way to unwind, too.
The Digs
The intimate McCloud River Lodge, a cozy five-room property situated at the southern slope of the snow-capped mountain, sits among towering old-growth forest and offers spectacular views of the region. Each rustic-chic room comes complete with all of the romantic rendezvous essentials to rekindle the fires of affection: in-room Jacuzzi or whirlpool tub, fireplace, and a queen-size bed. They also have complimentary Wi-Fi and cable TV with HBO.
Spruce up for dinner at the on-site Aaron's @ the Lodge, where you can savor the highest-quality certified Black Angus steaks, seafood, pasta, burgers, and daily specials. Experience first-class fare without the fuss of a fancy restaurant and with the convenience of on-site dining and evening entertainment in the lodge tavern.
"This place never disappoints. The staff is friendly and courteous, and the rooms are awesome! The Jacuzzi is huge and tucked away near the very large bathroom. The lodgepole furnishings make you feel as though you are in your own mountain retreat."-- TripAdvisor

A mid-19th c. rival of baseball (then NY style) had a rival - the "Massachusetts Game." The Massachusetts game allowed defensive players to hit the runner for an out. They also allowed overhand pitching and no catching one hoppers for an out, which didn't make it to pro ball until after the first pro league - the NA.
So, what would baseball be like if you always could hit the runner for an out (to this day)? More equipment? Injuries? Change in strategy?
Crazy hypothetical, I know.

Women in 1920s-30s movies topic of presentation
Join master storyteller and historian Alan Bohme for a presentation that deals with women in the movies in the 1920s and early 1930s. The class will be from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, at Pequot Lakes High School.
The characters portrayed could be real women with their own feelings, thoughts, emotions, methods of expression, behaviors, styles of dress and the like. By 1934, this type of on-screen behavior was considered "dangerous" because it undermined the traditional roles of women and set bad moral examples for American youth.
For 30 years after this "code" was enforced, it was very rare for a woman on screen to behave in a way that a man did not approve of. There is a film to go along with this presentation that includes Greta Garbo, Bette Davis, Norma Shearer, Clara Bow, Ann Harding, Jean Harlow and others.
There is often a lively discussion after the movie.
Class fee is $5. A minimum of four registered students is required for class to be held. Contact Pequot Lakes Community Education for more information or to register at 218-568-9200.

2014 draft wishlist..
1. Charles Sims
Isn't Skov returning to Stanford?
2 - Love the pick in the second. Brown or Greene from Rutgers would be great here.
3 - Great Value Pick!! He was a first rounder before this year but had a "down Year" (only 5 picks compared to 11 in 2012)
4 - Love Williams, best blocking TE in the draft but waaayyyy to high for him. hes a 6-7th rounder unless e lights up the combine
5 - 6 - font know enough about them but i like the T and DT selection to add depth and competition on our lines
7 - wouldn't draft 2 LBs would go with another secondary player SS/FS/CB more of a need
Possesses prototypical height, length and a growing frame still able to add weight without losing athleticism. Flashes foot quickness to take away the edge in pass protection, but also mirror without losing knee bend to maintain balance and form. Redirects ends through the pocket inside, as well. Widens his base to anchor when on his game. Also uses his feet to change blocking angle on the move to create running lanes. Surprises with his straight-line speed when leading on pulls or getting downfield to block. Has a solid punch, and is also capable of keeping his feet active while landing it. Comes out of his three-point stance low and hard for his size, gets hands inside to bully defender out of the play. Greets blitzers instead of catching them. Uses strength and length to hold back one defender on double-team while waiting for edge blitzers.
His height can cause him problems when trying to get leverage on quicker defenders, will need to prove he can avoid getting stood up off the snap in the run game. Gets narrow and comes out of his stance at times against quicker rushers instead of maintaining technique, often because he can against a lower level of competition. Must be consistent with his bend in pass protection and when approaching targets in space. Will occasionally stop his feet while punching, overextending in the process. Could finish plays more regularly, putting his man to the ground and keeping him there as he shows the ability to do.
NFL Comparison - King Dunlap
Bottom Line
]Marquardt could be the first player drafted from Azusa Pacific since Kansas City selected Christian "The Nigerian Nightmare" Okoye in the second round in 1987. His size and length give him a chance to be a mid-round pick with upside -– if he can take the coaching imparted him by Pro Football Hall of Fame lineman Jackie Slater to handle the step up in competition

Great Mock!
1- Ansah or Okafor will be available at #19. If Ansah is not available and Lane Johnson is there at #19 I rather Johnson over Montgomery and Okafor.
2- Arthur in the second would an insanely great pick. This guy has value to be the best ILB take in the draft.
3- Amerson in the third would also be an incredible great pick, even though I highly doubt he will be available there.
4- Michael Williams, I think we should go OL before we go TE in this draft. Bennet might be gong out, but we still have Robinson and Pascoe in our roster, so not too much value there.
5- Depth
7- Depth

text: Although most dealerships in San Diego are owned by the same family "Tag Auto Group" there is a big difference between dealers! I bough my truck at "North County GMC" in Carlsbad but they sold it off to buy a "Scion" dealership and left us to deal with Hoen Buick/Cadillac to maintenance my truck. It has been a fiasco from day one! I spend big $ putting GMC accessories on my truck (as I did at the N.C. GMC) but the work is like a cheap auto repair shop! Even the simplistic things ends up as crappy work! Overfill my fluids so I'm cleaning up oil on my drive for weeks! Then the heated seat install, factory unit mind you. Looked like a third rate stereo shop installed it! Asked them to service my truck before we traveled to AZ. When I got gas I checked the oil..2 qt low! Guess its time to look else where!

Last year was my first attempt at making queens on a scale larger than simple splits. I used the nicot method per Grant's instructions and came out with 23 beautiful queens from large cells. When the cells were capped i put hair roller cages over them and let them hatch in the original hive where they were raised. Once they hatched I transfered them to nucs with mostly a fram of brood, frame of honey and 3 frames foundation. All 23 were accepted by their new nucs but then things turned bad. After about two weeks i noticed only about 5 or so of the queens were in their nucs. I thought, ok, maybe the other are still out mating. As time went by, i noticed those other queens never came back and i also lost a couple of the five. So i then had 3 queens that started laying but never really took off. All 3 nucs eventually just died off before winter even got here. I did not feed and i know i should have but there was honey in all the nucs. Several of my other colonies also met their demise from what i can only conclude is CCD. One week they were there and literally 7 day from getting back from vacation there wasn't a bee in the hives. Is there something i could be missing? I've heard that dragonflies eat bees and we have tons of them around my place but could they really do that much damage? I really hate having a 0 percent success rate and i'm bound and dertermined to do it right this year. Things i have learned/observed/questions:
Feed Feed Feed new nucs
Could the dragonflies affect virgins on flights? if so is there a good control for dfs?
Everyone knows we had a major drought, was it just a bad year for queens/hives?
something im missing?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Officials say an offshore supply boat struck a production platform in the Gulf of Mexico on Friday and sank after all 20 people aboard were transferred safely to another boat.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Ivan Barnes says none of the 16 passengers or four crew members on the boat was injured. The incident happened shortly after 9:15 a.m. about 15 miles west of Southwest Pass near the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Barnes says workers were using boom to contain a small amount of fuel that apparently spilled from the vessel and left a sheen on the surface.
The vessel was operated by B&J Martin Inc. of Galliano. Company spokesman Jimmie Martin said all passengers aboard the vessel were offshore workers.
Martin declined to identify the operator of the platform.

Are folds that maximize the number of H-H contacts the best folds for a prototein? Not necessarily.
A high H-H score enhances a molecule's stability, which is certainly a useful property in a biopolymer, but there are other factors to consider as well. Stability implies that once a molecule is folded, it will probably stay folded. It's also important, however, that all molecules with the same sequence fold up to yield the same structure. The way to achieve such uniformity is to select sequences that have a unique best folding, even if that folding does not have the highest possible H-H score.
A molecule with many equally good foldings is said to have a degenerate ground state. The all-P sequence is an obvious example: Every folding has an H-H score of zero. The all-H sequence is also degenerate. Obviously, any sequences with unique preferred foldings must be found between these extremes, but the existence of such sequences cannot be taken for granted. You can search for them by sorting all the foldings of a sequence into bins according to their H-H score; if the highest-scoring bin has a single occupant, that sequence has a unique best folding.
On the square lattice, uniquely folding sequences do exist for all but one of the chain lengths I was able to test. (The exception is length 5.) The longest chains I examined have 14 beads. Among the 16,384 sequences of this length, 955 have a unique folding. Within this subset, 96 foldings have seven H-H contacts, which is the maximum observed in 14-bead prototeins. The sequences in this elite subset, combining uniqueness with high stability, might be considered among the most lifelike prototeins.
Low degeneracy and numerous contacts are not the only criteria for judging a prototein fold. Martin Karplus and Eugene Shakhnovich work with three-dimensional lattice models and employ a more realistic energy spectrum than the simple contact counting of the H-P scheme. Their findings highlight the importance of having a large energy gap between the best folding and the next-best one. They have also looked into the kinetics of folding, asking not just which configuration is stablest but also how long it takes a randomly wriggling molecule to find that conformation. Among 200 candidate sequences, 30 repeatedly discovered the state of minimum energy after no more than 50 million small random rearrangements.

The discussion will also address how FDA can evaluate whether its Consumer Updates (http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/default.htm) are reaching the targeted population, and whether they are increasing awareness and understanding of the key risk messages. The discussion will also assess whether the communications are having the intended impact on knowledge, behaviors and/or outcomes.

Reviews of this property
The location was rather good to reach by metro and bus, but the appartment was weared out and not very cozy.
The stay was very nice, with public transport close by and a good situation to move at ease.
La estancia ha sido muy agradable, con el transporte público muy cerca y una situación buena para moverte a gusto.
The apartment was OK and quite convenient as it was close to thh center and you could walk easily there.
It was not the best but I also cannot say it missed anything. All in all we had a good time as the kids also enjoyed with the toys that the apartment had.
Cerca del metro, cerca de supermercados, zona tranquila, facilidades por parte del propietario, ideal para familias.
L'appartement était d'un très bon rapport qualité prix. La présence d'une machine à laver le linge et d'un lave vaisselle sont un plus non négligeable surtout lorsque l'on a des enfants. Par ailleurs l'appartement est bien situé avec tout à portée (du moins pour ceux qui connaissent déjà Porto). Une première expérience Wimdu qui nous a beaucoup plu.
Reviews for this host's other properties
We had a very pleasant stay in Porto... such a beautiful city. The people are friendly and uncomplicated. The apartment was lovely, too, but unfortunately, the walls got damaged by fungi. The ventilation has to be improved. Liana promised to take care of it. Apart from that a very nice place to stay at. There is high traffic on the road in front of the building, but free parking is possible. Thank you, Liana, for your courteous support and care and thanks to Mr. Martins for his patience due to our late arrival!
wonderful appartment. very spacious and comfortable. new and clean. perfectly located for old town and vila nova.
Me and my family decided to spend a few days in apartment at Vila Nova De Gaia in Gaia (Gaia it is not Porto :) ).
And it was perfect decision!
It is very suitable apartment, properly furnished and equipped.
And location!!!
It is the most beautiful, romantic and charming place in all Gaia/Porto.
It is exactly just like I have seen on the most popular pictures in albums and guides.
Location is simply ideal!!!
Our hostess greeted us very cordially with the most delicious cookies, gave us a lot of useful, practical information about city.
I would like to say that all from our vacation was "the most"; City, Wine-houses, Monuments, People, Atmosphere, literally everything.
These few days were really magic.
It was more than what I expected from this place.
Ermelinda and Liana, Thank you very much for it.

The couple tried out many recipes before settling on their wedding favor cookie to match the Spanish tapas food theme - pecan polvorones with muscovado caramel or spiced chocolate filling. The bride's sister baked the cookies and the couple, along with family and friends, assembled the boxes. "The favors acted as a place setting as well as a snack and token of appreciation!" says Sarah.

I am trying to be completely foundationless and putting foundationless between full brood frames in the broodnest has worked well for me. As yet I do not have very much SC drawn comb for the supers. This was an extremely hot dry summer here. (very unusual for here) My bees started out in early summer drawing comb and bringing in lots of nectar and pollen, but as it got drier and drier the comb drawing slowed down and very little comb got made. I do have a brook nearby and my bees make good use of it. I have no honey harvest because I need to leave it for the bees, that is ok. But some hives are still very light and may not have enough for the long winter here. So far no hard frosts. All are good strong hives with lots of bees and a good number of frames of brood in each. I will feed if I have to. I have never experienced such a short supply of honey.
My questions are: Should I have used my LC comb in the supers with a queen excluder?
Did I expect too much during such a hot dry summer?

This side dish is our favorite way to fix summer vegetables. Cleanup is a breeze because it cooks in foil. It goes from garden to table in under an hour, and makes a great accompaniment to grilled steak or chicken. — Lori Daniels, Beverly, West Virginia
Recommended: Top 10 Grilled Vegetable Recipes

"Served this tonight with the quick marinated grilled chicken from this website. This was excellent. We used mushrooms, peppers, and onions, but we will make this again when we have tomatoes, zucchini, squash, and sweet corn from our garden. No leftovers. My husband said, "Next time we will have to make more vegetables." How often do you hear that?"

"This is a delicious & easy way to fix vegetables on the grill. My son doesn't care for mushrooms, so I left those out of the recipe and added a sweet red pepper instead. Thanks for the great recipe!"

This exciting sea-kayaking course is perfect for beginners, recreational paddlers and anyone else who wants to start enjoying this popular sport. We'll teach you the safety skills you need to embark on most kayaking adventures.
In a small group setting that offers plenty of one-on-one attention, our instructors will share with you their accumulated wisdom. You'll learn how to effectively use each piece of equipment.

You should expect to work hard, get wet and see substantial improvements in your technique by the end of the course.

Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
*Synthetic clothing dries quickly and is the best choice for outdoor pursuits. Please do not wear cotton clothing. When wet, cotton rapidly robs the heat from your body and takes a long time to dry. We also recommend you dress in multiple layers, allowing you more flexibility to comfortably respond to the weather conditions and your level of exertion.
Please call ahead if you plan to use your own equipment as it must pass inspection by L.L.Bean staff before use. If it's deemed unsuitable, we will provide you with the necessary equipment.

This will most likely not happen.It jammed on me while function testing with some snap caps, but I think that was b/c I wasn't pulling the slide back hard enough to eject the caps consistently.

We arrived in North Sydney, NS and headed for the city of Louisbourg which is on Cape Breton Island. Our goal was to check into our B&B, The Stacey House, which is another century old building, then hightail it to the Fortresse before it closed.
The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Park is the crown jewel of the Canadian Park Service and the largest historical reconstruction in Canada. Fortresse Louisbourg was built to protect France's interests in the new world and to serve as the center of its massive seasonal fishing industry. Its location near the eastern tip of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia enabled it to serve not only as the capital of the new colony of Ile Royale but also to act as the first line of defense for France in its 18th century struggle against Great Britain for colonial supremacy in North America.
This place reminds me of Colonial Williamsburg...the people dress in period costume and interact with you as though you were back in the 18th century. This is a huge village with homes, inns, restaurants, etc. The food served is what you would have eaten in the 18th century. There are also demonstrations of all kinds as well as a cannon firing at the end of the day. I highly recommend a stop here.
After a quick meal we set out to see the the first Canadian lighthouse which went into service at Louisbourg, Cape Breton Island in 1734.
It was constructed on an outcrop of rock on the point. It guarded the eastern side of the entrance to Louisbourg Harbor. The coastline here is beautiful and rugged for as far as the eye can see. The sun is setting and we have had yet another very long day.

text: That's right ladies and gents, its 2007 Season Talk. The Lions' opponents for 2007 were announced today, with dates and times to be announced in April. Drum roll please.... Home Games Dallas Cowboys NY Giants Denver Broncos KC Chiefs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Road Games Oakland Raiders Philadelphia Eagles Washington Redskins San Diego Chargers Arizona Cardinals (of course they will still play their home and homes against division rivals Green Bay, Minnesota and Da Bears) Is it just me or does that look like a TOUGH schedule for a 3-13 team? The Lions already suck on the road, so I only expect 0-2 wins there. Oakland and Arizona are winnable, but at San Diego, Philly and Washington? Add that to Lambeau and at Chicago and that's starting to look darn rough. But check out the freaking home games! Dallas, the G-men, Denver, KC and Tampa? Does anyone see a W there? KC would be the best bet, IMO. Its still a long way away though, lets hope for a couple of miracles in the mean time. Your thoughts?

MANUFACTURER: Vortex
Review This Item
An evolutionary upgrade, the VORTEX Viper HS 2.5-10x44 Rifle Scope, Dead-Hold BDC Reticle, MOA (VHS-4303) offers hunters and shooters an array of features sure to be well received.
A new optical system highlighted with a 4x zoom range provides magnification versatility. Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass increases resolution and color fidelity, resulting in crisp, sharp images. Vortex proprietary XR fully multi-coated lens coatings increase light transmission for maximum brightness.
The ultra-friendly eye box with increased eye relief gets shooters on target quickly and easily - because shooting opportunities can be measured in fractions of seconds. Built on an ultra-strong 30mm one-piece machined aluminum tube, the Viper HS delivers increased windage and elevation travel for optimal adjustment. Capped turrets protect from accidental movement and impact.
The Viper HS riflescope has such convenience feature as a MagView Bar that combines a fiber optics magnification indicator with raised rear-facing magnification references for clear viewing in low light conditions.
This model riflescope comes with a Dead-Hold BDC reticle, where customized hashmark design helps eliminate guesswork on hold-over and windage corrections. It is good for hunting and shooting at varying ranges where estimating hold-over is a concern.
ArmorTek is an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant lens armor, chemically bonded on the outer glass surfaces. ArmorTek's unique stain-proof topcoat features a slippery surface that actually repels the oil and corrosive salts from fingerprints. Dust, dirt and smudges are easily wiped away without fear of scratching the optical glass beneath.
The Viper HS 2.5-10x44 Riflescope comes with protective lens caps and the VIP Unconditional Lifetime Warranty.

As the Internet and mobile communications become more integrated into reporters' work, the digital threats to journalists' work and safety have increased as well. While many press reports have documented Internet surveillance and censorship--and the efforts to combat them--mobile communications are the new frontline for journalist security.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Local Rick Sanny bags cat, bear and elk, putting two in the record books
Local hunter Rick Sanny, who in 2006 moved to Steamboat Springs from Fremont, Neb.,"in pursuit of big game," had a heck of a hunting year. The property manager for Old West Management bagged a bear, mountain lion and elk last season, two of which garnered state honors. "Last year was amazing," says Sanny, also a ranch manager at Coal View Ghost Ranch. "Two of my three animals made it into the record book. Hard work, scouting and persistence paid off."

Pulaski Technical College has 11,938 students enrolled in classes this fall, just eight fewer students than last fall's record enrollment.
Fall enrollment was announced Friday. Classes began Aug. 23, and enrollment data from the 11th day of class is used for reporting to the Arkansas Department of Higher Education.
"At a time when enrollments have declined at many colleges, our enrollment has remained steady, and we think that's because we have continued to keep college accessible, affordable and relevant to people in central Arkansas," said Dr. Margaret Ellibee, college president.
Part-time enrollment is up 3 percent from fall 2011, with 52 percent of students now attending part-time and 48 percent attending full-time.
Also, PTC's male student enrollment has increased 2 percent and accounts for 35 percent of the student body; 65 percent are women.
Pulaski Tech's enrollment includes students attending the college's main campus in North Little Rock, Little Rock-West at 8901 Kanis Road, Little Rock-South on Interstate 30, Saline County Career Center, Aerospace Technology Center near the North Little Rock Airport, and some credit classes at the Business and Industry Center in Little Rock.

For nearly 15 years, biologists around the world have been watching as millions of frogs succumb to an infectious fungus called chytrid.
Now a group of Wichita State University students has discovered evidence of the deadly chytrid fungus in the Wichita area. This is the first report of chytrid in Kansas.
The pathogenic fungus is found in all neighboring states and has caused the decline and extinction of amphibian species globally.
Wichita State's findings are based on two years of undergraduate and graduate research as part of a field ecology class in WSU's Department of Biology.
Jameson said the research results fill a gap in the middle portion of the United States where the fungus has never been reported. The only other study conducted in Kansas was in 2007. It studied five frogs in Johnson County, none of which tested positive.
The next step, Jameson said, is for the students to publish their findings in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Herpetological Review.
And she hopes to spread word to the community as a whole. As with the white nose fungus in bats -- which for years has been causing a severe decline in bats -- education on how to prevent spreading chytrid is key.
'Potential trickle-down effect'
The research conducted by the group of 10 students was conducted at WSU field stations near Wichita, Viola and Waterloo.
It involved catching frogs and identifying them, swabbing them in a sterile fashion and recording water quality of the surrounding habitat. In addition, there's a molecular component of DNA extraction and amplification.
It has been a community effort, Jameson said, requiring the skills and participation of many students. It also builds on the aquatic toxicology research of WSU professor Karen Brown and students in her lab.
Graduate student Timothy Eberl, who conducted the DNA analyses this summer, hopes the new research will be valuable for the future of the state's amphibian populations.
"We are speaking of possible keystone species within the aquatic environments of this state, and the potential trickle-down effect may have a longer reach than even we realize."
Jameson said there are steps people can take to help prevent the spread of chytrid. Never move a frog from one lake or pond to another. Always clean wet or muddy boots and tires, and fishing, camping, gardening or frog-survey equipment. Avoid touching frogs. And use disposable gloves, sample bags and sterile equipment.

Any business that promises you outrageous returns may be a Ponzi
scheme or fraud. Business is basically exchange of values, the payment you
receive is a reward for the value you give. When you are disposed to receive
rewards without offering any value, you are prone to be defrauded.
When people ask you to invest your money with some promises
of great rewards within a short time, ask some questions;
How are they making the money they will pay you?
What value does the business create?
What is their track record?
If the business is real why are they not getting
funding from financial institutions who have the capacity to verify their claims?
If they are a charity organization why are they
asking for the little you have first?
BEWARE! Ponzi schemes benefit only the operators and few
others whom the use as baits to attract more people, MOST people who invest in Ponzi
schemes lose their money.

|East Buttress (IV 5.10b, 13 pitches)
Date Climbed: Oct 9, 2007
|Climbed this route with MichaelJ during our week in Yosemite. We started hiking at 5:30AM and were on the route at 7AM. The first pitch was a lot of fun and I had an easier time than expected in the chimney. The crux on pitch 2 also went smoothly and we cruised all the way through the roof on pitch 7. Pitches 8 and 9 were the hardest for me. I led pitches 1,4,5,7,9,12,13. We topped out at 4:30PM and did the descent down the East Ledges in about 2.5 hours, reaching the car just as it got dark. It was probably the biggest rock climb that I've done.
El Cap Base Routes:
Little John Right (5.8, 3 pitches) -- October 11, 2008 -- Pretty stout for the grade, with tricky climbing on the traverse on P2. The ledge at the top is a sweet spot for sure.

|We cheated.
|Ok, so my cousin Phil and I are not climbers, but we did reach the summit from Tioga Road. We saw a trail marked on the map from 120 to Tamarack Falt which turned out not to be there and we had to route find our way there. Spent the night at Ribbon Meadows and reached the top the following morning. All in all a great trip!

|the last wall
|Taking time off of climbing to spend time with family prior to moving to montana I was given an oportunity to do the cap. After only 25 days of training, we set out to do the nose, but hate crowds so continued to hike around the corner to check out the Lurking Fear route. Jackie Florin was rope-soloing it and was on the 4th pitch (she later said Han's was home watching the new baby). We had it to ourselves all 5 days. Jackie left us in the dust on day 2. We were solid but slow. Drank all 80 lbs of water and were glad to have brought so much. Not enough water was the reason why 3 parties per day were bailing off the nose route!

|A dream come true. It happened because my friends helped me believe that was possible. Five days on The Stone and as John Long says " A drama for which tickets are not sold". A bigger dream came after I climbed it in 2000: I wanted to do it in a single push. It happened in 2003 by a coincidence of will and desire.

HR offers employee safety, security classes
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Feb. 28, 2006)--Since the disappearance of student Naomi Fuentes nine days ago, the issue of safety has become a concern to some members of the UTSA community.
As a reminder, the UTSA Office of Training and Development, part of the Office of Human Resources, conducts staff safety and security classes each semester to help inform and protect the UTSA community.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

UTSA police officer Geoffrey Merritt will teach a staff safety and security class on April 7 at the Downtown Campus, May 5 at the 1604 Campus and May 12 at the Institute of Texan Cultures, as part of this semester's training and development offerings.
"UTSA's growth heightens the need for everyone to be aware of safety concerns in our offices and across the campuses," said Merritt. "In the class, you will learn how the UTSA Police Department supports safety on campus, and how you and your office can practice safety measures and apply techniques to reduce crime and safety risks. Awareness and prevention are the keys to personal safety."
According to Merritt, 80 percent of thefts on campus result from unattended items left in plain view. The class will provide tips on simple techniques to save lives and property, including discussion of safety measures in place at the UTSA campuses.
The class, SA464 Staff Safety and Security on Campus, will be offered 8:30-10:30 a.m., Friday, April 7 in Buena Vista Street Building Room 4.304A at the Downtown Campus, 8:30-10:30 a.m., Friday, May 5 in University Heights Building Room 1.106, near the 1604 Campus off Hausman Road, and 8-10 a.m., Friday, May 12 at the Institute of Texan Cultures. The ITC class location is to be announced.
Register for a class online at TXClass using your UTEID.
For more information, contact Betty Settlemeyer, Office of Training and Development, at (210) 458-4658. For the full schedule of HR classes, visit the Training and Development Web site.
