text: ISTANBUL, Aug. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today an integrated Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reference receiver, broadband seismic recorder and a force-balance triaxial accelerometer for infrastructure and precise scientific applications―the Trimble® SG160-09 SeismoGeodetic system. The SG160-09 provides real-time GNSS positioning and seismic data for earthquake early warning and volcano monitoring as well as infrastructure monitoring for buildings, bridges, dams as well as other natural and manmade structures. The announcement was made at the Second European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (2ECEES) in Istanbul, Turkey. The Trimble SG160-09 SeismoGeodetic system combines the innovation, reliability and data integrity of both the Trimble and REF TEK brands into a single instrument. The system integrates seismic recording with GNSS geodetic measurement in a single compact, ruggedized package. It includes a low-power, 220-channel GNSS receiver powered by the latest Trimble-precise Maxwell™ 6 technology and supports tracking of both GPS and GLONASS signals plus the Galileo E1 frequency. The system includes both the SG160-09 and utilization of Trimble's CenterPoint™ RTX™ correction service, which provides on-board GNSS point positioning. Based on Trimble RTX technology, the service utilizes satellite clock and orbit information delivered over cellular networks or Internet Protocol (IP), allowing cm-level position displacement tracking in real-time anywhere in the world. The SG160-09 system will be available for purchase without the RTX correction service for those applications using real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning. The seismic recording sensor includes an ANSS Class A, low-noise, force-balance triaxial accelerometer with the latest, low-power, 24-bit A/D converter, which produces high-resolution seismic data. The internally built accelerometer has +/- 4g full scale output, large linear range, high resolution and sensitivity, which makes it ideal for both portable and permanent deployment. The SG160-09 processor acquires and packetizes both seismic and geodetic data and transmits it to system operators using an advanced, error-correction protocol with back-fill capability providing data integrity between the field and the processing center.

It Is Time India Declared Independence From Monsanto And Big GMO
On August 15, India commemorates independence from Britain. In the 1990s, however, the IMF and World Bank wanted India to shift hundreds of millions out of agriculture. In return for up to 90 billion pounds in loans, India was required to dismantle its state-owned seed supply system, reduce subsidies and run down public agriculture institutions and offer incentives for growing cash crops to earn foreign exchange.
India is the largest recipient of World Bank loans in the history of the institution. The conditions outlined above form part of a broader development plan that involves the mass displacement of people. The National Alliance of People's Movements recently stated that the real impacts of this "dangerous financial institution" (World Bank) works only to further the cause of powerful capital.
Hundreds of thousands of farmers have taken their lives since 1997 and many more experience economic distress or have left farming as a result of debt, a shift to cash crops and economic liberalisation. Facilitated by the WTO and the U.S.-India Knowledge Initiative on Agriculture, there is a deliberate strategy to make agriculture financially non-viable for India's small farmers and to impose a model of agriculture dominated by transnational agribusiness, from seed to plate.
The mantra is to let "the market" intervene: a euphemism for letting powerful corporations take control.
PM Modi says India is now one of the most business friendly countries in the world. When the World Bank rates countries on their level of "ease of doing business," it entails national states facilitating policies that force working people to take part in a race to the bottom based on free market fundamentalism. The more "compliant" governments make their populations and regulations, the more 'business friendly' a country is. And the World Bank's 'Enabling the Business of Agriculture' involves opening up markets to Western agribusiness, their chemical inputs and patented seeds.
The mantra is to let "the market" intervene: a euphemism for letting powerful corporations take control; the same corporations that benefit from massive taxpayer subsidies, manipulate markets, write trade agreements and institute a regime of intellectual property rights thereby indicating that the "free" market only exists in the warped delusions of those who churn out clichés about letting the market decide.
According to neoliberal rhetoric, foreign investment is good for jobs and business. But just how many actually get created is offset many times over by the jobs destroyed to pave the way for foreign corporations. In India, there is an ongoing displacement of a pre-existing productive system as small farmers and village-level food processors are squeezed out. For example, Cargill sets up a food or seed processing plant that employs a few hundred people. This displaces agricultural jobs (as witnessed by events in the edible oils sector and false arguments for the need for GMOs) and village-level processors who are put out of business so Cargill can gain a financially lucrative foothold.
The process resembles what Professor Michel Chossudovsky of University of Ottawa notes in his book about the structural adjustment of African countries. In The Globalization of Poverty, he says that economies are "opened up through the concurrent displacement of a pre-existing productive system. Small and medium-sized enterprises are pushed into bankruptcy or obliged to produce for a global distributor, state enterprises are privatised or closed down, independent agricultural producers are impoverished" (p. 16).
The plan is for a fraction of the population left in farming working on contracts for large suppliers and Wal-Mart-type supermarkets that offer a largely monoculture diet of processed, de-nutrified food based on crops soaked with chemicals and grown in increasingly degraded soils according to an unsustainable model of agriculture that is less climate/drought resistant, less diverse and unable to achieve food security.
One major flaw here is what jobs will the displaced hundreds of millions do given that jobless growth now seems to be reaching India?
The alternative would be to protect indigenous agriculture from rigged global trade and corrupt markets, and to implement a shift to sustainable, localized, self-sufficient agriculture which grows a diverse range of crops and offers a healthy diet to the public. In 2006, farmer and campaigner Bhaskar Save outlined solutions for India's agrarian crisis.
Monsanto is now very much embedded in India. It has even been called the "contemporary East India Company" and says GM food is necessary to feed the world's burgeoning population. Such claims are hidden behind a veil of humanitarian intent, which is easily torn away to expose self-interest. India does not need GM to feed itself and no false argument or regulatory delinquency to force them in can disguise this.
Four major high-level official reports in India (listed here) have advised against adopting GM food crops, and the ISAASDT Report (among others -- listed here) states that smallholder, traditional farming can deliver food security in low-income countries through sustainable, agri-ecological systems.
Instead, what we witness is the marginalization of small farmers -- the backbone of global food production -- in favour of a less productive industrialized system that leads to the globalization of bad food and poor health.
The roots of hunger and food insecurity across the world are tied to an exploitative system of agriculture and food production, where food surplus areas have been created to exist alongside and benefit from food deficit areas. Transnational agribusiness fuels and profits from this.
GMOs are wedded to U.S. interests. Facilitated by the World Bank and IMF, these interests have since 1945 restructured indigenous agriculture in other countries and shaped trade rules/agreements to create debt, dependency and demand for the dollar. GM is being used to secure the ultimate stranglehold of U.S. corporate interests over global food. The political backing for GM by the U.S. State Department, the strategic position of the GMO biotech sector in international trade agreements and the push to get GMOs into India are apparent.
As celebrations take place in Delhi on August 15, the bedrock of India -- the small farmer -- is being denied investment and sacrificed in the name of "progress."

Peter Handrinos is a frequent contributor to Scout.com and author of the upcoming 'The Best New York Sports Arguments: The 100 Most Controversial, Debatable Questions for Die-Hard Fans'.
The cold, hard fact says that
Roberto Clemente died on the evening of
Latin American ball players, also, carry on Clemente's influence. The majority of Latinos cite him as a key inspiration in their careers, many of them making a comparison to Jackie Robinson's role as both a brilliant player and outspoken advocate for equal opportunity. It's one reason why foreign-born players like Roberto Alomar and Carlos Delgado have honored the Hall of Famer by donning uniform number 21 through the years.
The man's living legacy has also
been carried on through his humanitarian work. Clemente actually died in an
effort to supply earthquake victims in
Unmatched performance, social impact, and civic giving have all kept Roberto Clemente's influences alive, and so have his children.
Roberto Clemente, Jr. has been an
heir to all facets of his late father's life. After injuries cut off his own
playing career in the Minor Leagues, he became a well-known Spanish-language
broadcaster and commentator, most prominently among Latinos for his work on
Recently, he discussed Roberto Sr.'s living legacy:
Do you remember a time when baseball wasn't in your life?
No. We had a 'baseball family' in the fullest sense. We have family movies of me, in diapers, swinging at a little plastic ball with a little plastic bat. From my earliest memories, all I can remember was my parents, who were both wonderful, and a house full of baseball people, from players to coaches and managers and fans. I watched the game, thought about the game, and played the game constantly.
The one time that baseball wasn't in my life was when I got hurt down in the Minors. I didn't want to go to the ball park for a while, just because I missed it so much and, physically, I couldn't be a teammate. Apart from that, I've always been around the game.
While you were growing up, were you worried about following in your father's footsteps as a professional player? I mean, it's a hard enough game without the inevitable comparisons.
Well, as I said, baseball was such a part of my life, I didn't really think about going any other way. My mother didn't raise me to think of myself as a celebrity, or anyone special, just because my father could play baseball.
Maybe, looking back, I should have realized that there would be a lot of expectations. I really didn't realize that, understandably, people would see 'Roberto Clemente, Jr.' in the lineup and wait for incredible things. The media reaction, especially, was a surprise, to be honest, and it made it a little hard to have fun, at least at first.
As a player and, later, a broadcaster, what was the interpersonal reaction? When people hear the name 'Roberto Clemente', how did they relate to you?
There are a lot of very, very
powerful emotions. We have a special connection to
It's been a long time since his last game, but for so many, it doesn't seem long ago at all.
It's never stopped. Today, more
than 30 years after his death, they're still naming ball parks and leagues after
him. Just recently, in
Some times, I have to say to myself, 'How do they know the name?'. I've run into many players or fans who weren't even alive when Dad played his last game in '72, but they 'know' him because of the stories and the memories. Their older brothers and fathers had a poster or a baseball card, a book, and they passed it on.
How would you describe, in particular, your father's legacy among Latino ball players and fans?
I'm very, very proud of his memory among Latinos. I can't tell you how many 'aunts' and 'uncles' and 'grandmas' we have, in friends that became like family.
Many times, they talk about the way my father perfected his game, and they talk about the way he carried himself as a man, on and off the field. They talk about him as an ambassador for, not only Latinos, for all minorities, especially foreign-born minorities.
I suppose one of the most lasting, important memories was in your late father's philanthropy. I had the honor of talking to a past Clemente Award winner, Jamie Moyer, just recently. Can you talk about that?
Charity and giving to others was such a big part of my father's life and, to this day, his memory.
The Awards are simply a way of recognizing ball players' impact as human beings, and I've been told that, for the winners, they've meant more than any other individual award, for that reason. I remember the great Rod Carew saying, 'I don't care about the batting titles. This [Clemente Award] means more to me than anything'. That gives me goosebumps.
Very often, Roberto Clemente is compared to Jackie Robinson in all the things you mentioned - the Hall of Fame career on the field, the pioneering role and charitable impact off the field. How would you describe their connection?
Well, obviously, anyone who knows the first thing about baseball knows what Jackie meant to the game. He had incredible courage and ability. You can never take away the fact that he was the first minority player, and opened the door to all those who came afterwards, including Roberto Clemente, Sr.
I would say the biggest difference
was - when dad came up in '55, he had to deal with a new language and culture,
as well as racism. I'm proud of how often he spoke out for justice and
opportunity, even when he was risking his own career as a player. That meant a
lot to, particularly, Latino players who were dealing with language and cultural
differences. I'm proud that he went and reached out to the poorest communities
in many countries, including, in the last years of his life,
Are you happy with Latino players' role in the game today?
Well, it's wonderful that so many great ball players come from around the country and the world. Everywhere you look, Latinos, as well as whites and African-Americans and Asians, are among the league leaders. Latinos have the freedom to come up, to express themselves, and, obviously, make good money playing a game they love.
At the same time, things still aren't perfect. I still think that there's room for more understanding with the language, for instance. I'd like to see a time when more American reporters learn how to speak Spanish, and more Spanish-speaking players learn good English. That's key. That can lead to even more marketing opportunities and diversity. That can lead to more leadership opportunities among managers and the front office.
Do you feel that there's still a resistance to the players in terms of being showboats or me-first guys, for instance?
I'd love to say that all the
negative stereotypes are gone, but that's not always the reality. There's still
an image, among some, that, 'Oh, Latinos may have great talent, but they don't
work to get better'. I think of that broadcaster in, I think, the Bay Area, who
talked about 'brain-dead hitters' from the
That's wrong, but it's out there. We should be open-minded. Some Latino players are bad guys and some are good guys. They should be judged on their own character, just like everybody else.
Do you see a distinct 'Latino' way to play the game?
No. When some people say, 'You can't walk off the island' or whatever, I think that's kind of off-base. Baseball's baseball. Everybody wants to win and everybody has to play by the same rules.
If anything's different among the Latinos, it might be in personal style. Some players tend to wear their hearts on their sleeve, or they're more flamboyant. There's something to that. I don't see how that's a negative, however. There's nothing wrong with that. You can be passionate and still play great baseball.
Do you feel that Spanish-speaking players tend to hang out and support each other, despite whatever other differences they might have in their personal background or nationality?
Well, that's a funny thing.
Latinos can come from many different countries. Growing up in
I do think that Latino players tend to stick together, though, because they have a common challenge in the language and adjustment to a new country. Plenty of times, I've seen them sharing a meal and conversations after the game, just talking about what it's like to play in the big leagues and 'en los Estados Unidos'. That's beautiful. Baseball should bring us all together.
But you know controversy has been kicked up by, for example, 'The All-Latino Team' selections. They didn't include guys like Ted Williams and Reggie Jackson, both of whom had a partial Latino heritage. How did you feel about that?
It's got to be up to the player.
I'll give you an example - ARod. He played for the
Me, I can't knock a guy. Only he knows about his own upbringing, his family and friends, and culture. Only he can say what's right for him. It's not for me, or anyone else to define A-Rod…
Or Ted Williams and Reggie Jackson.
Or Ted Williams and Reggie Jackson, sure. That's up to them. Everyone should take pride in their identity, whatever it is.
Living in
Sure. From [Mets general manager] Omar Minaya.
Right. It's been controversial in some quarters, only for the thought that too much of a focus on foreign-born players can lead to cliquish-ness. Do you think that was a realistic danger for the Mets or any other ball club?
Oh, I believe Omar's one of the smartest operators in baseball. I love the guy. I think he knows what he's doing. Most of his new players happened to be Latinos, but I know that he was never thinking, 'I've got to assemble a Latino team'. I can say this about my friend - he cares about winning. That's the priority. He's looking to fit the players together on a winning team, first and foremost. Nationality or whatever comes after the fact.
You mentioned cliques, too, and you know what? People tend to hang out with people that know their own language and music and background. All people. That can be true for salsa like it can be for rock 'n roll. I think the real issue for a Major League clubhouse is, again, about winning. At the end of the day, are the players focused on winning as a team on the field? I can only talk about the clubhouses I know, and I have confidence that all the Mets are playing for a championship ring.
In a Dominican-American restaurant
like Nueva Caridad in
Well, I'm not sure how to answer your question. Have you ever been to Nuevo Caridad?
Just once. And not for a couple years now.
I'd urge you to visit and find out for yourself. In what I've seen, there's a love for the game of baseball, number one. After that, different people love different teams and different players. Some people are Yankees, some are Mets. Some are going to root for Derek Jeter over A-Rod, even though A-Rod is Dominican-American. And vice versa. And all teams.
Focusing on this or that generalization, I'm not sure it's a good idea. I'd put it down to a love of baseball, as I said. That, and the food, too (chuckles). They've got some great home-cooked meals over there, I'll tell you.
After a lifetime in baseball, are you more of a fan, less of a fan, or about the same?
I'm more of a fan. As I mentioned, not everything's perfect, and I don't like things like the steroids controversy, but baseball's in great shape. Events like the World Baseball Classic are bringing the game forward, including more and more talented players and interested fans. It's a very positive time.

I was fortunate to find Vanessa's studio apartment as I relocated for work and a retreat of sorts. I stayed there for a little over two months and I really enjoyed my time. The studio and the property are very nice, and Vanessa makes sure you have everything you need. Grass Valley is beautiful and the studio is within 5 minutes of downtown. Vanessa is a wonderful host, and is quick to respond if a light bulb needs to be replaced etc. She really epitomized the welcoming and friendly culture of Grass Valley. She even took me to a basketball game and had my wife and me over for hot chocolate and scones! The surrounding area is beautiful for walks or bike rides. There is a small pond and horses around, so it really makes you feel like you are on a retreat. I highly recommend this place for anyone that plans to visit Grass Valley – Vanessa, thank you for everything!
Enjoyed our 2 months in this quite studio. Very comfortable especially the bed. Quite wooded area. Nice place for walking. Owner was very helpful and very friendly.
My husband and I have been in this Grass Valley studio for almost 6 months. Jessica has been very helpful when anything was needed. The studio is clean and comfortable and has all the necessities one would need. We are close to town so shopping and other activities are easy to reach. I would certainly recommend this rental to friends and family.
My husband and I spent the month of August at this well-equipped little gem in a quiet, peaceful country setting. Everything we could possibly need was provided, and if we had questions the owners/hosts were always available and helpful. The grounds are well maintained and we spent several evenings sitting outside watching the birds and squirrels and occasional deer. It is situated near several major highways, so getting to anyplace in northern CA is easy. It is also close to town for grocery and other shopping and we ate at several excellent restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here.
We spent a little over a month here and I really enjoyed our stay. It was close to the fairgrounds and downtown Grass Valley, but far enough that you still feel like you are in 'the country' - very peaceful and the hosts that live on the property made sure we had everything that we needed at all times. I will definitely recommend this one to my friends/family when they come up to visit the area.
My husband and I stayed in Vanessa's studio apartment for one month while relocating to the area and searching for long-term housing. We had an excellent experience there. The studio and the property are very neat and well-kept, and have everything you need. Vanessa and her husband Ted are gracious and accommodating hosts, always available should you need anything or have questions, but hands-off and respectful of their guests' privacy at the same time. The studio itself has a small footprint but is well laid-out and quite comfortable, and as private as possible. The wireless internet always worked (!), and there is ample fridge space and access to laundry, making things much easier for us during our stay. The property is in a nice, peaceful country setting down a winding road with easy access to town. Vanessa was always helpful in recommending places to go, even helping us in our housing search and loaning us tools that we needed for some work on our car. They made what otherwise might have been a stressful month of relocation much more relaxed. I highly recommend this rental for anyone that needs a short or longer-tem place to stay in Grass Valley -- Vanessa and Ted will take great care of you!

text: Miami magic To get a true taste of Michael Irvin's love of "The U," you'd better make some free time A funny thing happened on the way to an interview with Michael Irvin the other day. We chatted for a few minutes before I posed my first question for a feature I'm working on for the upcoming print issue of PFW. It was about why he coined the phrase "The U" to be used when speaking of his alma mater, the University of Miami. And in case you haven't seen Irvin's regular resounding proclamations on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, that's usually pronounced "Daaaahhhh U." How the term started was all I wanted to know before getting on to other things about the Hurricanes' impact on the NFL. What seemed like about 15 minutes later, I had my answer. Perhaps the most complete answer I've ever received from anyone in this business, or in my life for that matter. Because of my fascination with this response, I found it necessary to share with you. One loquacious man's complete devotion to his school and its football program, unedited. A few of my follow-up questions come afterward, in case you failed to catch his point, which, as long as you have a pulse, I find unlikely. Q: So I've got to ask you, why do you call it "The U?" Irvin: Well, first, it's the most catching thing to put out there for it. You hear people talk about how it's Miami of Ohio and all of these little nicknames, but when you talk about the greatest university of all — and I'm talking about everything — and I'm sitting on the set with Tom Jackson and Boomer (Chris Berman), who for years would say (in a low voice) "Where's he from? Louisville." You know, that old catchy thing (promoting a player from Jackson's alma mater)? Same with Stuart Scott talking about North Carolina. But they can't drive it home because (NFL players from Louisville and Carolina) are few and far between. How many times a week do you think I get to yell, "Daaaahhhh U?" You know what I'm saying? And it says everything in that one statement. Because I don't need to tell you about Hurricane football. I don't need to make that statement. You already know about it. The football speaks for itself, so I don't need to say that anymore. I need to tell you that this is the university of all universities. No more, "Where is he from? (again, in low voice to impersonate Jackson) The Hurricanes. Or Miami." No. It's "Where is he from? Daaaahhhh U." That's it. We don't need to put anything else with it. You know and I know that we don't need to mention anything about the "U" on the side of the helmet. You know, I know, anybody knows when they say "The U," you know it's from, the way I see it, the top university in the world today. Academically it's a great university. Athletically it's a superb university. Socially, it's a great university. I mean, South Beach! You can go and be well rounded. What other university you know offers that tie to everything? Q: What about my alma mater, I ask, trying to dig at him a little about his archrival. Florida State wasn't bad. Irvin: Yeah, but you're in Tallahassee. You see what I'm saying? It's Tallahassee. If you're the Gators, then you're in Gainesville. Sure, it's a nice college town, but we have Miami, you know what I mean? The diversity that's there in Miami, you're going to learn so much more from so many different types of people. When you encompass it all, "The U" says it all. If I talk about any one aspect, I'm cheating the university. So I'm calling it "The U." Of all universities, this is "The U," period. And it's gotten to the point where I can say it anytime, anywhere, and everybody knows exactly what I'm talking about (laughs). I shot a picture for the University of Miami poster last week, and I'll be there next week to do the storyboard. I'm doing some marketing with them. I'm going to shoot a commercial for them. It's all about "The U" (laughs). You want your son or your daughter to be well rounded, send them to "The U." That's it. That's it. We don't need to say anymore. And the family atmosphere is as great as any. A couple weeks ago I was in Fort Lauderdale doing another event. I sat with Santana Moss, Edgerrin James, Clinton Portis, Reggie Wayne; we were all right there. Santana is telling me, "You can't believe what it meant to me when you were on the sideline at the Florida State game and you told us, 'This is where it is.' " That rushed chills through my body to hear him talk about how much that meant to him and how (the bond between Miami players) is one thing he counts on in his career. What it does, with all the young guys thinking about where they want to go (to college), they know that we all stay together. I want to join a great football team, but more important than that, I want to join a family. And I want to know that these are my big brothers. I want to know I have big brothers in the league, I have big brothers broadcasting in the league, I have big brothers coming back to talk to me about my responsibility when I leave this university, my responsibility to be a big brother. Q: (12-year veteran LB) Darrin Smith (who played with Irvin in Dallas) told me that when you guys had a big game coming up in college, you'd often get a homemade videotape from guys in the NFL reminding you of how important that week was. Irvin: Yeah, we do it all the time still. I sent a couple videos last year from the (ESPN) set. I ask them if they understand what they're about to embark upon. This is what it is. It's something that we have held high as long as I can remember when you're getting ready to play the Florida States and the Floridas because this is about recruiting. This is about going out and showing that one undecided kid who lives in Boca Raton who's thinking, "Do I go to Tallahassee or do I go to Miami?" This about showing him — and I'm just throwing out Tallahassee because of you (laughs) — that hey, you can go to Tallahassee and be part of a football team or you can come to Miami and be part of a football family. And that's the difference in my mind. That is the difference between Miami and anywhere. Q: You guys almost seem to thrive on knowing that a lot of people hate Miami or at least enjoy rooting against you, like you're the Yankees of college football. Irvin: Well, you know that no one likes anyone that does a lot of winning. And honestly, no one likes anyone that sticks together as much as everybody at "The U" does. No one likes that. They look at it like, "Why do you have it and I don't?" So it is a great thing. It's a great thing to talk about and a great thing for me. I'm sitting here in the position I'm sitting in, and I'm watching all of these young guys come into the league from "The U." I'm like, hey, my job is to make sure I have a relationship with the young guys in the league right now. I got that part done. I'm OK there. But seriously, we thrive off being a family. The thing is this: You know we're supposed to be tough, egotistical and all the egos are supposed to rain down and everything, but when we all get together, it's a beautiful thing. Because it's brother to brother. It's brother to brother to brother to brother. And even if I haven't seen a guy for two years, when I see him, it's like I saw him yesterday. And it's the greatest thing in the world. It's a bond and a tie that I don't know anyone has anywhere, period. … It's a powerful thing. And it's a bonding thing. It's like, you know we're playing football, but we're still living life. And through life, you're going to need a brother. So it's good to know that when I line up and play beside you, I can go line up and live beside you or lean on you when I need you. That's what it's all about. We should be able to depend on each other to help us through everything, so it's very important. Q: A lot of people see Miami and think arrogance. But I've been told by other former Hurricanes that it's more confidence than anything. Irvin: Arrogance is one of those words I don't see. Confidence is stating the things that you know you can do. What shall we call arrogance? I don't even know a definition for it. It's not even in my vocabulary. But the word confidence, I can deal with that word. That's a word I know. And I think that's what Miami is. Everybody at "The U," they don't come out and say stuff just to say it, to raise your eyebrow or ruffle your feathers. They say it because they believe it. And then usually they go out and prove it. That's confidence. What's wrong with that? There's nothing wrong with that. It's something we need more of in this world — confidence. Q: Matt Hasselbeck told me that he despised Miami mostly because he was never recruited to go there. More of a jealousy factor than anything. Do you think that's common? Irvin: A lot of it. I just finished filming "The Longest Yard" with Brian Bosworth. Bosworth had a great career at Oklahoma. A great career. And it's Oklahoma! But even Boz says to me, "Man, I should've been at Miami with you guys. I fit in better with you guys. I should've been there with you guys." That said so much to me. You know what I'm saying? This is Bosworth. The Boz. I told him, "You're talking about coming to Miami. In Oklahoma, you were the whole show. In Miami, you're going to be part of a show." (Laughs) He was fine with that. He won a national championship, so he was happy. But still, it's what we are. I took so much pride in coming up with "Daaaahhhh U," and saying "Daaaahhhh U" on TV every chance I get because it is, for me, the university of all universities.

PBL works best in small groups where students work on several problems together, so they can experience the benefit of collaborative learning. Will this lesson work with small groups?
Is there enough time and money for the resources needed to implement the lesson?
Is the problem "authentic" and "real world"? Is the problem something that a learner would encounter in a workplace?
Does the problem incorporate the four design principles of PBL instruction: holistic, practice-based, ill-structured, and contemporary?
Is the complexity of the problem suitable for the age group and maturity of the learners?
Is the problem open-ended? Are there many possible solutions to the problem?
Does the problem incorporate multiple disciplines? If so, which ones?
The optimal environment for PBL has writing surfaces on all 4 walls, large tables & multiple computers. How will the environment contribute to PBL?
How familiar are the students & instructor with PBL?
PBL requires the instructor to carefully manage the learning process for those students who are unfamiliar with the model. Is the instructor committed to the process?
Does the poject include a problem that has not alrady been resolved? (ex. school scores poorly in one department and makes dramatic improvement the following year, thereby making that problem obsolete)

Corps Studies Intracoastal Project
US Army Corps of Engineers officials are studying the environmental impacts of dredging Georgia's 161-mile part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The ICW is a natual and manmade highway for boats strerching from Maine to Florida. Like Interstate 95, it brings business to the coast. That's why supporters would like more than study.

Marsh Erosion Linked To Boating
A researcher has ruled out lack of maintenance as a reason banks along the state's Intracoastal Waterway are eroding. A Georgia scientist looked at erosion on the snake-shaped boating route that serves recreational boaters. Geologist Clark Alexander says, he found, boaters are causing the erosion.

Proposal To Help Boaters, Control Waste
Georgia marina owners want state officials to ease rules on coastal boaters who stay awhile. Right now, if someone wants to live on a boat on Georgia's coast, they're effectively barred from staying for more than a month. A proposed rule change would help local business and make it easier for the state to control waste water discharges.

MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin senior running back Montee Ball has made a habit in his career of dominating Big Ten defenses. It's no surprise, then, that Ball has been named the Big Ten's Running Back of the Year for a second consecutive season. Ball, a consensus first-team all-conference selection, was announced as the Ameche-Dayne winner on Monday. He joins left tackle Ricky Wagner and wide receiver Jared Abbrederis as consensus first-team all-conference honorees from Wisconsin. Junior tight end Jacob Pedersen was named the Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year. The award is named for Penn State's Ted Kwalick and Iowa's Dallas Clark. Ball is the only player in the nation to eclipse 1,500 rushing yards in each of the past two seasons. He has rushed for 1,528 yards this year with 18 touchdowns and finished conference play with a league-best 1,168 rushing yards (146.0 per game) and 15 touchdowns. A year ago, he rushed for 1,923 yards and scored 39 total touchdowns to tie the single-season FBS record. Last week against Penn State, Ball set the all-time touchdown record with his 79th score, surpassing Miami (Ohio) running back Travis Prentice's 78, set in 1999. Pedersen recorded his fourth touchdown reception of the season on a pass from quarterback Curt Phillips with eight seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime against Ohio State. His 14 career touchdown catches are tied for 11th all-time at Wisconsin. In total, Wisconsin nabbed 15 All-Big Ten selections, including seven first-team honorees, which ties Ohio State for the most first-team picks. Last year, Wisconsin had a school-record nine first-team selections. Before last season, the last time Wisconsin had as many as seven first-team All-Big Ten selections was 1999. Junior center Travis Frederick and senior linebacker Mike Taylor were each voted first team by the media and earned honorable mention selections from the coaches. Pedersen and junior linebacker Chris Borland were voted first team by league coaches and honorable mention by the media. Junior left guard Ryan Groy earned a second-team nod from the coaches and honorable mention honors from the media, while senior cornerback Devin Smith was voted to the second team by the media and honorable mention by the coaches. Cornerback Marcus Cromartie, defensive end David Gilbert, punter Drew Meyer and safety Dezmen Southward were consensus honorable mention selections. Defensive tackle Ethan Hemer was selected honorable mention by the coaches. Senior safety Shelton Johnson was selected as Wisconsin's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award winner. Wisconsin will play Nebraska on Saturday in Indianapolis for the Big Ten championship and a spot in the Rose Bowl. Follow Jesse Temple on Twitter.

Char bought herself for Christmas!
Char ordered these wallplates from me as a Christmas
gift for herself.
This order made me a little crazy, because Char only told me what types
of plates she needed and the general color of her walls. Then she told
ME to choose the photos for her plates! ACK!!! Talk about pressure!
I'm putting the final coats of high gloss varnish on them today and
asked Char if she wanted to see pics of them or just wanted to be
surprised when she receives them in the mail next week. She told me to
post them here so everyone could see them. More pressure!!! LOL!
I sure hope Char likes them.

Vox Pop-April 1
Survey your graduates
If the Brainerd School District wants to prepare for a global society, they need to do some research. As a private business owner I cannot survive on business from the local area. I have to use the various technologies and get customers and suppliers from out of our area, our town, our state and our country. Talk to those of us who are small business owners. We don't have the time to attend your meetings, but could do a survey and perhaps if you surveyed your graduates better, you could get ideas of what they needed.
Where's Paul?
I'm truly disappointed in the lack of Paul Bunyan everywhere. He used to make a regular appearance throughout town year around for multiple events and festivities. Either he's sick of being offered meth by our friendly locals or tired of poor customer service. Don't worry, Paul. Maybe one day Costco will arrive and the people concerned about traffic will build a new bridge for pedestrians and name it after you.
Get real, administrators
I refuse to believe the schools "financial" need to cut more educators until administrators are cut. Too many other schools don't re-name positions to keep administrators like this one. Other schools cut sports and extra curriculars more to keep classes and teachers who change kids' lives. Get real, Brainerd administrators.
Clean it up!
Some yards in downtown Merrifield are an embarrassment for their neighbors. Is there no law against all that trash and litter piled and strewn in those yards? Have some pride in your town.
A question
I have a question. If the price of your property goes down significantly, why do you have to pay more in taxes? Just a question.
Blessings to the gracious lady
Words cannot express our thanks and surprise to the gracious lady who learned we were celebrating our 67th wedding anniversary last Thursday and she surprised us by treating us to lunch. Our blessings and thanks to you.
Shame on them
I paid $425 for my daughter to participate in a winter sport at Brainerd School District. I haven't found a school in the state of Minnesota that even comes close to charging these ridiculous fees. And then to top it all off, they expect all these kids in the sports to go out and fund raise. I'm so tired of hearing 'It's about our kids" from the school board and administration because it's clearly not. I just have to say shame on them for doing this to our kids.

The Protagonize Shop Window
Somewhere for Protag authors to post links to 3 of their chapters or stories they feel give the tastiest teaser of what they are about - or the three they are proudest of!
A helpful guide for the browsing reader to discern who's on their wavelength - and to get to know everyone.
This is an idea I had all of a suddy when I was supposed to be thinking about several other things.
Sometimes when you find a branch you like, you want to read more from that author but are not sure where to start (particularly if they are one of our more prolific posters!).
How about, thought I, if there were a place where all Protag authors could post links to three of their branches or stories that they feel best reflect their writing style or preferences? Or, indeed, that they are proudest of?
That way we could all come here, see if the author we seek has posted, go to their branch and follow their links!
My hope is that this will become somewhere we can all come to get a better idea of who we all are as writers - and to find kindred spirits.
I will start by nominating three writers that I have either read little of so far or that have written so much it would take me weeks to give all of it the attention it deserves. Then I will message them to let them know, they can post their links and do the same!
(it occurs to me that leaving the occasional branch free for people to add unrequested would be no bad thing!)
With any luck, one day we will all have a branch on here.
I do hope this works...
Oh! And no ratings, please - no need.

text: I have an HP Envy 15 laptop and every now and again (at least once per day) the screen will go completely black for maybe half a second then come back on again. This sometimes occurs more than once but it will happen at least once every day while I'm using the computer. In addition, on occasion after the screen comes back on, Windows Aero will be turned off and the basic Aero theme will be running instead. It usually switches back by itself after a minute or two. I've checked my options while the basic theme was running and they hadn't changed so I wasn't sure what to make of it. The reason I make this post is because the computer is only seven months old and I want to upgrade the hard drive to an SSD but I know this will void the warranty. I want to make sure this problem is addressed before I make the swap if it's a serious hardware defect so that I don't have to pay for repairs. Here's a screenshot of the laptop's specs if it helps: I know I've read that the flashing screen could be a sign that there are bad connections going to the screen but I hardly ever adjust the screen as the computer is almost always just sitting on my desk. EDIT: I've already done a clean install of the driver for the Nvidia card. I used driver sweeper to completely uninstall it and then re-installed the latest driver and this is still occurring.

Family of missing woman, 74, seeks search volunteers
Updated: 8:41 AM MDT May 3, 2016
The family of a missing 74-year-old woman is asking for volunteers to help search for her.
Sharon Berry went missing last month. Authorities believe she may have been traveling in a black and white Toyota Tacoma pickup at the time.
Her family is meeting at the Farmers Market on Hobbs Street in Roswell at 10:15 a.m. Tuesday. They're asking for volunteers to help with an organized grid search.
Those planning to attend should ask for Stacy Hubbard or Kerry Berry, the woman's daughter and brother, respectively.
Sharon Berry is 5 feet 1 inches tall, 77 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with potentially helpful information should call Roswell police at 575-624-6770.

The popular exhibition, "Inventors and Sportsmen: Maine Gunsmiths in the 1800s" will be held over through Saturday, May 27, 2017. Featuring a variety of guns made by 22 Maine makers, the exhibition highlights the work of John Hall, a Portland cooper turned gunsmith, as well as Hiram Leonard, a native of Sebec. Leonard, described by Henry Thoreau as "the chief...hunter in Maine," made a gun and pistol shown in the exhibit. Leonard eventually became a pioneer in the mass-production of fishing rods. A trout rod and reel by Leonard are also among the 75 objects shown in the exhibition.
The museum's newest exhibition, "Beyond Boundaries: The World of the Capote," features a remarkable man's winter coat, known as a capote, dating from 1842. On public view for the first time, the capote, with moccasins and matching leggings, shows beautiful porcupine quill embroidery and dyed moose hair tassels bound with tinkling cones. The exhibition will be on view through September 2017.

Re: Thoughts on the new lab?
I don't like it that much. I would have liked sas and pistole a lot more. Now you almost get instantly killed at any range. The power plays are annoying. Since boosters are out Cloacked doesn't protect me from exposed and enemies always come shotgunning around the corner or take you out from a big distance while they would never have spotted you otherwise. The double damage is even worse. Mag kills in 1 leg/body shot and the sas kills you from a ridiculous distance. What I also don't like is that a mode that depends a lot on luck and should be for fun only but counts for your kill/death stats.
Re: Thoughts on the new lab?
awful lab, feels skills don't count, just get in close push R1 and u get a kill, i was in cover and blindfired my shottie from very close range and he survived the shot and from same distance killed me through a wall

What are your thoughts on it. For me, its random. One match i went 5-12 and one time i went 27-9.
I had the same kind of results until I realized that this is a MAG-5 ONLY match, not Shotguns/Mag-5.
All the noobs are running across the map towards you with the shotgun and I just stand back and pop their head off! And the Mag has ridiculously good blindfire so it excells there as well.
Re: Thoughts on the new lab?
I've actually seen people using both the SAS and Mag, they are used as expected in my eyes, the SAS up close and the Mag from afar. I have seen the random person running around blindfiring the Mag and although it is effective, it is still beaten out by the SAS.
It is hardly as much of a blindfire fest as shield + Micro was. If it weren't for power plays ruining it, I would call this my #1 lab.

Re: Thoughts on the new lab?
Erm... weird.
I was playing the other day, and noticed that on Chateau, the turrets are gone. On Airstrip, they're still there.
Anyway, I spent a few seconds behind the turret on airstrip, only to be shot by an RPG.
I thought to myself, "Where on Earth did he get that?"
Then last night, having a quick game, and for some reason the menu offered me Paid Boosters. And when I got in the match, my negative boosters were active (Nice for the money!) and my kickback was active... I managed to procure a T-Bolt from it for 5 easy long-distance kills.
Next match, back to normal, no boosters or kickbacks, no paid boosters offered.
There's a bug in there somewhere. Don't ask me how it's done.

UK Legislation Threatens to Change Medication Policy
- Jun 1, 2002
- Topics:
Legislation is under consideration in the United Kingdom that would drastically affect the way horse owners obtain medications such as dewormers for their horses. Amendments to the legislation would require a veterinary prescription for the supply of all medicines (including dewormers and over-the-counter products such as sweet itch treatments or insecticide shampoos) for food-producing animals, according to an announcement by the British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA), an association of United Kingdom companies. Under current European Union (EU) legislation, horses are defined as food-producing animals.
Currently, medications sold in the UK are classified in one of three categories:
- Prescription-only medications (POM), available only through a veterinarian;
- Pharmacy and Merchants List (PML) items, available through registered, authorized retailers who are approved by someone specially trained for authorizing sales; and
- General Sales List (GSL) items, including certain insecticide shampoos, wound dressings, and other treatments available over-the-counter.
Mark Collins, BVSc, CertEP, CertESM, MRCVS, Senior Vice President of the British Equine Veterinary Association, said, "At present, horse dewormers can be obtained through vets, tack shops, and pharmacists; do not need a prescription; and they are classed under the PML category. The EU under the review 2001 is wanting to make it so that all drugs supplied to food-producing animals can only be obtained with a veterinary prescription."
The BETA is one of seven equine trade and regulatory associations united under the Animal Health Alliance, which was formed in 2001 specifically to challenge the proposals. BETA has been lobbying against these changes and the Alliance has submitted an amendment that, if accepted, would allow the UK to continue to offer medications in a way similar to the existing system.
Claire Williams, Chief Executive Secretary of BETA, said, "If the legislation goes ahead, horse owners would lose the convenience of being able to buy their dewormers and other routinely used medicinal products from their local retail saddler and be faced with the real possibility of increased prices as competition declines." She stressed that this might lead to a decline in the equine welfare level as frequency of treatment diminishes. The industry is also very concerned about a loss of up to 3,000 jobs as a result of the changes.
"It is now vital that the equestrian industry and horse owners themselves make their support of the status quo clear and highlight the negative effects the proposed changes would have on them, their horses, and their livelihoods," said Williams. The changes would "impose a degree of over-restriction which could result in illegal trading and a reduction in competition and choice," she added.

This is a very interesting museum, and entry is free. There are lots of very interesting exhibits, and as we were the only visitors at the time we had the benefit of a curator (a retired police officer) telling us lots of interesting facts behind the exhibits.
Took 5 grandchildren on an adventure over Christmas break to see the Cleveland Police museum. Located in downtown Cleveland at the Cleveland Police Headquarters on Ontario. Prepared the children as their Great Grandfather was a Cleveland police officer and relatives on the other side were detectives.
Website provided hours opened between 10 and 4. Arrived at 10:30, went through security...
There's some local stories of mass murderers, old gear and Cleveland history at it's dark side. :)
check it out!
For anyone interested in history, just seeing the historic photos makes it well worth the time to visit. Putting people first, to serve and protect, is what these courageous officers do every day, mile after mile.
A nicely done little museum with great old artifacts. It provides a history of the police in Cleveland. It's free, so it should not be missed. A quaint gift shop is at the end for some souvenirs if you like.
We have been wanting to visit here for years, but the weekday hours what had been preventing us. We had family in town and took off a Friday to visit. It was somewhat a hassle going through security, not as bad as an airport, but you still have to go through a x-ray machine because your entering the main lobby...
This is a small museum located in the "lobby" of the Cleveland Police Downtown Headquarters. Due to security, you must access through the main entrance to the Justice Center.
So, this is not a fancy museum by any stretch, but it is very interesting - particularly as it relates to some of Cleveland's most historic happenings. There is a cool...
Had an impressive collection of badges from fallen officers dating back to late 1800's
Disappointing that it was closed due to lack of interest, funding and support. Will try again tomorrow per recommendation from security officer.
This small museum is located in the Justice Center, which means you must go through Justice Center security, so be prepared. That means metal detectors, so do not bring pen knives or similar objects. There is parking Downtown, but you have to know where to look. There is cheap parking at 15th & Superior and northward. There is also cheap...
This museum is quite small, but is packed with Cleveland history along with the history of the Cleveland police. It's interesting to see how criminals and law enforcement have changed over the years. The museum staff was very knowledgeable with plenty of stories to share - including accounts of Eliot Ness.
I hope this museum will expand some day. There's...

Nestor Osorio, UN Security Council president, spoke on behalf of the 15-nation body in denouncing the deaths and expressing condolences to families of the victims. "The members of the Security Council condemned all incitement to and acts of violence," said Osorio on Saturday. "They called on the government of Afghanistan to bring those responsible to justice and take all possible steps, with the assistance of the International Security Assistance Force, as appropriate, to protect UN personnel and premises. "The members of the Security Council reaffirmed their support for the people and the Government of Afghanistan, their support for the crucial work that the United Nations is doing in partnership with the Government for the benefit of all Afghans, and the Council's commitment to a secure and stable Afghanistan." Afghan officials said at least 11 people were killed, including seven UN staff, at a United Nations operational centre in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. A UN official said that some of the attackers were killed by security guards. Mission evacuatedThe attack appears to be the deadliest against the UN in the country since the 2001 invasion.Demonstrators stormed the UN office on Friday, opening fire on guards and lighting fires inside the compound after gathering to protest over reports that an evangelical pastor last month burned a copy of the Muslim holy book in Florida. In a statement, the UN said three civilian workers and four security personnel were killed - none of which were from Afghanistan. A UN official also told the Associated Press news agency that seven workers and four Afghan protesters have been killed. An estimated 20 other demonstrators were injured. The mission at Mazar-i-Sharif is now being evacuated. Afghan police earlier put the death toll at eight UN workers and four Afghan protesters. Two of the UN staff members were beheaded, according to police, though details of the killings are unclear.Al Jazeera's Hashem Ahelbarra reported from Kabul that people converged outside the UN mission soon after the midday prayers.The mission is one of the backbones of UN operations in the country, he said. Some of the protesters were armed with knives, and the chief of the mission was badly injured in the attack."The protests degenerated into a very violent attack," he explained. Protests 'gave cover' Ata Mohammad Noor, the governor of Northern Balkh province, said insurgents used the protests as cover to attack the UN office. Terry Jones' "Judge the Quran day" drew widespread international condemnation "The insurgents have taken advantage of the situation to attack the United Nations compound," Noor said. Noor said Nepalese Gurkha guards were among those killed. He said the guards worked for a private security firm.The UN has not yet announced the nationalities of those killed. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the violence, saying it was the first step in a campaign against the upcoming presidential elections.Afghan officials said about 2,000 people peacefully gathered outside the UN office, until some members of the crowd grabbed weapons from the UN guards, opened fire on the police and stormed the building.Farhan Haq, a spokesperson for the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, spoke with Al Jazeera from New York. Ban is seeking more information on the attack, and considers it "a cowardly attack which no circumstances could justify," Haq said on Friday.Stephane de Mastura, the head of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), was travelling to Mazar-i-Sharif on Friday to investigate what had happened, he added. UN assistance to Afghan people The UN staff in Mazar-i-Sharif works in a range of areas, including electoral support, political advice, humanitarian aid, reconstruction and development. "All of this is designed to provide as much assistance as possible to the Afghan people, which is what makes it so unjustified that this office was attacked," the spokesperson said. Terry Jones, an American pastor, created a storm of controversy after he announced that he would burn copies of the Quran on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks last year. Under pressure from political leaders, Jones "suspended" the event. However, on March 20, Jones oversaw the burning of a copy of the Muslim holy book by another pastor, Wayne Sapp. The worst previous attack on UN workers in Afghanistan was an insurgent assault on a guesthouse in October 2009. Five UN staffers were killed and nine others wounded.UN staff have been targeted in other countries, including a bomb attack on the UN compound in Algiers in December 2007 which left 17 dead.The bombing of a hotel in Baghdad in August 2003 where the UN mission had its headquarters took the lives of at least 22 people, including UN special envoy to Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

The Ireland manager, sick to the teeth of the Roy Keane saga which eventually ended last night with the Manchester United midfielder staying at home, has hit back at reports that he will quit after the World Cup finals.
McCarthy has two years left on his contract with the Football Association of Ireland and he is adamant that they will have to push him out if his team flop in Japan in the wake of the Keane affair.
"I am not a quitter. I never have been," said McCarthy as the FAI increased their efforts to bring in Celtic's Colin Healy as Keane's replacement.
"I have two years left in this job and I am not going to walk away. That has never been my style and nothing that has happened here has changed my mind.
"My future is not even up for discussion.
"We have a World Cup game against Cameroon on Saturday and that should be the focus of all our attention.
"We have spent too long worrying about other issues in the past week. I need to work with the players who are here now and want to play for Ireland.
"They are the only ones who should matter between now and the end of this World Cup journey, wherever that may take us."
McCarthy's position may become untenable, however, if Keane attempts to return to the fold in time for Ireland's European Championship qualifiers, which begin in Moscow in September.
The former Irish captain announced his retirement from international football last week but claimed on Monday that he would play for Ireland again, provided McCarthy is no longer the manager.
"There is no question about Mick's future," insisted FAI general secretary Brendan Menton in Izumo today.
"The Association has supported him in all his dealings with Roy Keane and we will continue to support him for the duration of his contract."
