Oct. 22, 2013
Baseball Hall of Famer and former Gopher Paul Molitor has joined the Minnesota Twins' major league coaching staff, the ball club announced today. His role will include overseeing baserunning, bunting, infield instruction and positioning. Molitor will also assist with in-game strategy beginning in the 2014 season.
Molitor previously served as the Twins' minor league infield and baserunning coordinator in 2003 and from 2005 to 2013. He coached in the majors under former Twins manager Tom Kelly in 2000-01. Molitor also served as the Seattle Mariners' hitting coach in 2004.
Before going on to a Hall of Fame professional career, Molitor put together an All-American collegiate campaign at the University of Minnesota. He finished his Gopher career with a .350 batting average. He also set what were then school records in runs (112), triples (11), hits (159), home runs (18), total bases (254), RBI (99) and stolen bases (52). Molitor and the Gophers made it to the 1977 College World Series his senior season.
He was MLB's third draft pick of 1977, going to the Milwaukee Brewers. He spent 15 years with the Brewers before joining the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993. He was named World Series MVP that fall. The St. Paul native closed out his career with the Twins from 1996-98.
In 21 seasons in the major leagues, Molitor amassed 3,319 hits, including 605 doubles, and scored 1,782 runs. He was also one of only six players to record 3,000 hits and 500 stolen bases in his career joining Lou Brock, Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins, Honus Wagner and Ricky Henderson. Molitor was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.
Molitor has also remained connected to his alma mater. As the chairman of Siebert Field campaign, he was instrumental in the 2013 opening of the Gophers' new field.

Click the link below to access the transcript on the TSD Message Board so you can check out all the latest as the recruiting front is really heating up the closer we get to National Signing Day.
LSU received some surprising news on Wednesday afternoon when Laurence Jones (aka Hootie) dropped his relatively fresh commitment to Alabama because he needed more time to make a decision.
This development is obviously positive for the Tigers, who now find themselves in a great position to steal back the four-star safety from Monroe, according to multiple sources. One of Hootie's first calls after the decommitment was to LSU DL coach Brick Haley, who has taken over LSU's recruiting efforts in Northeast Louisiana, and recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson.
LSU's bowl practices prevented the two parties from having an in-depth conversation, but sources did say Hootie would talk more with the coaches on Wednesday night. TSD is still awaiting some details on where things stand as of Thursday morning, but all indications after Hootie dropped his commitment are that LSU is the likeliest destination.
Hootie decommitted from Alabama days after returning from an official visit to Tuscaloosa, which sources have said did not go as well as the Tide expected. Because schools are currently in a month-long dead period, that will prevent Hootie from making any visits before he's set to enroll at his college of choice in mid-January.
Sources have indicated that Hootie has some interest in Ole Miss, but the dead period will prevent the Rebels from making the complete sales pitch. That interest in Ole Miss likely stems from Hootie's relationship with C.J. Hampton, who made an early pledge to the Rebels but has since opened up his recruitment. The feeling is that Hampton will ultimately stick with his commitment to Ole Miss and he's likely working to get Hootie to join him in Oxford.
That being said, LSU has the most advantageous position at this point, but the Tigers will need to tread lightly moving forward. Since Hootie committed to Alabama, LSU has made a strong impression on five-star safety Jamal Adams. Sources have said the Tigers currently lead for Adams, and he'll announce a final decision at the Under-Armour game on Jan. 2.
LSU's made Adams the No. 1 priority at safety in recent weeks, and they'll want to be sure they don't jeopardize that by getting back in the Hootie sweepstakes. But because Adams projects more as a free safety and Hootie more as a strong safety, there shouldn't be much conflict between the two, and LSU will try to make a move for both.
But if there's one thing we've learned throughout this recruitment it's that nothing is certain. This is still a very fluid situation, so stick with TSD as more details are sure to arise in the coming days. Be sure to check the TSD Message Board by clicking the link below for all the latest.

Seniors Become 'Family' to Professional Caregiver
Melisa Bours of Thornton decided to go back to work after the youngest of her three children started school last year. She found more than a job. Since working as a part-time CAREGiver for Home Instead Senior Care for 10 months, the nearly dozen clients she has cared for have become like family.
"One of my clients, who I've had since the beginning, knows my girls by name. As soon as I arrive each morning, she asks how I am doing and about my life at home. I love her so much," Bours added.
Her work with this woman, who is in her late 80s and lives with her daughter's family, is typical of the type of services that Home Instead CAREGivers supply. "I help with grooming and serve lunch, but mostly I provide companionship. I enjoy talking with my client because she is just so knowledgeable. When I come in, she is still in bed, watching the news and collecting information to share with me."
Bours has also held a spectator's seat at the unfolding family history of a woman she cares for a few hours each morning while her daughter is at work. "My client told me the story of meeting her future husband the day before he left to fight in World War II," Bours said.
"They wrote letters for four years and, when he returned home, they married. The family recently came across those wartime letters, which they have been going through. Every day my client tells me a new story from the letters. The way she tells a story makes you feel as though you're actually there."
Bours said that learning about the lives and contributions of older adults in her community is a big benefit of the job. "One client in his 80s who recently passed away was so remarkable. He was a business owner in the community and worked full time until a few months before he became ill. He was so open with his life and the stories that he told."
The man's wife had died several years before and Bours helped his adult children keep their father in his home until he died. "His family was wonderful and they were always there. Others he had worked with often stopped by as well," she said. He had gone from rags to riches and was generous with people in need. I attended his memorial service and the things that people said about him were amazing."
The satisfaction of making her clients happy and letting them know she's there to provide any help they need is a reward of the job, Bours said. "My regular client always thanks me for coming, and I leave her house knowing I impacted her day." The flexibility of her caregiving schedule also makes easier her job as a working mother of three daughters ages 7, 10 and 13.
"Everything about this job has been wonderful," Bours said. "I've never gone into a house I've felt unsafe about. The company does a good job for both employees and clients, and the staff is friendly and helpful," she said.
Home Instead CAREGivers, who are screened, trained, bonded and insured, provide a variety of non-medical services to help keep seniors independent. For inquiries about employment with Home Instead Senior Care, please call Fran Ghiazza, Recruiting Coordinator, (720) 890-0184 or e-mail email@example.com. For further information, log on to www.homeinstead.com/397.

"The calling of the Exeter Coast and Country Methodist Circuit is to respond to God's love in Jesus by sharing our lives through Christian discipleship in worship, mission and service."
Our name reflects our geography: our churches are distributed across the city of Exeter, towns along the coast of East Devon, and market towns and villages around Exeter.
See where on this map.
We officially came into existence on 1st September 2011, formed from the Exeter Circuit, the Exmouth & Budleigh Salterton Circuit and nine churches from the Sidmouth Circuit. In total there are 27 churches plus an ecumenical church in the new town of Cranbrook, east of Exeter.
ECCC is one of the Circuits within the Plymouth & Exeter District of the Methodist Church in Britain.
Our Superintendent Minister, Rev Steve Santry, and our Circuit Administrator have their office base at The Mint Methodist Church.
ECCC's governing body is the Circuit Meeting, which comprises the ordained ministers of the Circuit, the Circuit Stewards and representatives of each of the churches. Together, these people form the trustees. The Circuit Meeting meets several times a year to review the life of the Circuit and decide matters of policy. A precis of the minutes of meetings is available here.
Between meetings of the Circuit Meeting, Circuit business is carried forward by the Circuit Leadership Team (CLT) which comprises Ministers and Circuit Stewards. There is one Circuit Steward corresponding to each minister and that minister's group of churches, so that both ministers and stewards are representative of the Circuit as a whole and there is a balance between ordained and lay people on the CLT. In addition there is one steward with particular responsibility for finance. The CLT has several sub-groups whose terms of reference may be found here: Mission & Ministry Group, Finance Group, Property Group, Office Management Group, Manses Committee, and Communications Group. The Circuit Meeting has a World Church committee.
Preaching Plan
A key document for each Methodist Circuit is the Preaching Plan which shows who is leading worship at each church for each Sunday over a three-month period.

Garrett McNamara surfs 'highest ever' wave off Portugal
An American man has ridden what may be the highest wave ever caught by a surfer.
Garrett McNamara surfed the wave on Monday off the coast of Portugal, in the same spot where he surfed the current world-record wave of 78ft (24m) in November 2011.
Experts will now have to certify the new record.
The giant wave formed above an underwater canyon famous for being the world's biggest wave generator.
Some reports say the wave may have been as high as 100ft (30m), although this is yet to be confirmed.
"You are just going so fast," McNamara told ABC television. "It's really, really similar to snowboarding on giant mountains.
"And you're just chattering, flying down this bumpy, bumpy mountain. Your brain is getting rattled. Your whole body is getting rattled."
He said he was relieved to have avoided a rocky section of the coast.
McNamara began surfing at 11 and turned professional six years later.

Boiler ?
I live on the west coast. It does not get too cold here.
I have noticed that my home heat only manages to get to a bout 20 Celsius. My home has good insulation.
Not sure what's up with my heating system?
me either.... more info required.... you should certainly get above 20C
What temp is the boilers aquastat set to?
Looks like temps at about 140-150 .
Set it to 160 or 170, and see if your house gets warmer.
Do you hear water moing when the heat is on. If so that is often an indication that air is in the system, which will reduce the amount of heat you get.
I blead the system, I heard a lot of gurgling.
Bleeding the air from the system if you had an air lock will help.
Your temp settings were also too low. Raising them should help.
How many zones/ thermostats do you have?
If you have baseboard radiators, check if the fins are dust clogged and limiting the air movement through them.
Four zones, thanks ill try and raise temperature.
Sounds like I better call in some help from a plumber.
may be a wise idea...sounds like a little tlc will not hurt....

Head of UK & EMEA Building Consultancy
We take it for granted the ATM will always give us our cash when we want it. We expect our smartphone to work at any time of day or night. It's the reliability of data centres which house the vital IT equipment responsible for these technologies that allows us to feel so much confidence; but reliability doesn't come cheap. Data centres have a reputation of being energy hungry buildings. With demand growing rapidly, this represents a huge cost and a big carbon footprint.
Industry research estimates data centres use around 1.3% of total global energy. In the UK power demand increased by nearly 9% in 2013. The challenge is to reduce energy consumption whilst maintaining the resilience and capacity of these critical IT facilities.
The search is on for engineering technologies capable of mitigating energy use without compromising reliability and resilience. Part of the problem is the inefficiency created by data centres operating at less than full capacity. To meet this challenge, new data centre designs are emerging based on modular systems which allow supporting plant to be added piece by piece to better match the actual energy demand. Coupled with this, using pumps on water systems which can run at variable speeds, means they only draw the power they need, when they need it. New and more energy efficient equipment, like backup generators and Uninterruptable Powers Supplies (UPS) which keep data centres running if the power fails offer some improvement, but it's not the only answer.
Perhaps the biggest area of energy saving is geography; locating data centres in a climate where the ambient temperature range throughout a significant proportion of the year allows the IT equipment be cooled naturally. This approach is called free cooling. It relies on fans to move large volumes of filtered fresh air though the data centre to cool the IT equipment. The absence of large electrically powered cooling plant represents a big saving in capital and energy costs.
Most data centres try to combine as many of these technologies as possible. As energy costs increase and demand for space in data centres escalates, it's likely that new technology innovation will be the source of the next big steps in optimising energy performance and efficiency.

SRIPUR, BANGLADESH – A huge fire at a Bangladeshi factory where workers were making clothes for labels such as Gap and H&M has killed seven people in the latest disaster to blight the country's garment industry.
Firefighters battled through the night to douse the flames at the Aswad Knit Composite factory at Sripur, on the outskirts of the capital, Dhaka. Parts of the two-story building were still smoldering early Wednesday.
Police said the fire was so intense that most of the bodies that have been recovered were too badly burned to be ID'd.
Workers said the blaze, which broke out Tuesday evening, appeared to have been started by a malfunctioning knitting machine that had caught fire on a number of previous occasions.
A correspondent at the scene found work order books containing names of the factory's clients in September, which included U.S. brand Gap, British retailer Next, Swedish fashion label H&M, Australia's Target and French supermarket Carrefour.
A fabric swatch book marked with Walmart's George brand logo and labels were also found.
Revising an earlier death toll that put the number of dead at nine, local police Chief Amir Hossain said seven bodies had been recovered after a thorough search of the building. "Two bodies have been identified and handed over to their relatives. Five other bodies were charred beyond recognition," he said.
Hossain added that the fire was now "under control," although parts of the building were still smoldering.
A fire at the Tazreen garment factory in Dhaka killed 111 workers last November, in the country's worst such incident.
Industrial accidents are common in the country, where the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory bloc in April killed 1,129 people in the nation's worst industrial disaster. Since then, protests over poor wages, benefits and working conditions have shaken the sector, the country's economic mainstay.
Although the names of the victims in the latest fire have yet to be released, relatives who had gathered at the factory in Gazipur district feared the worst.
Fire service director Mahbubur Rahman said the blaze spread because emergency services took more than an hour to reach the site. "There is no fire station within a 30 km radius of the factory," he said.
Safety standards at Bangladesh's 4,500 garment factories, where workers toil for 10 to 12 hours a day for a monthly minimum wage of $38, are notoriously lax and fires are a common problem.
Mohammad Abu Saan, who works at the factory in Sripur, said the fire started when a knitting machine burst into flames on the factory floor and then spread to a warehouse. "There have been quite a few small fires in the machine recently. But we managed to douse them. This time it was big," he said.

Securing the Supply Chain: Combating the evolving risks in pharmaceutical sourcing and manufacturing
Unprecedented regulatory actions such as the invocation of the Application Integrity Policy, a highly restrictive and cumbersome Consent Decree, successive import alerts etc. have highlighted the risks to the pharmaceutical supply chain, especially when sourcing API, intermediates, excipients from countries like India and China. Although we are beginning to see proactive measures in developed economies to avoid the supply of substandard and adulterated drugs, many pharma companies have not addressed these risks adequately. Using the prosecution of Ranbaxy Laboratories in the US as an example, Dinesh Thakur (formerly Ranbaxy's Director & Global Head, Research Information & Portfolio Management, who reported the company's failings to the US FDA) focuses on the need for an independent, third-party monitoring of the supply chain to ensure consistency in the quality of medicines supplied to all countries.

A shot in the arm: Coping with Change Fatigue in Pharma
At a time of continuing volatility and change, the industry is only part way through its journey to stability – and the cracks are starting to show.
Management are asking their organizations to undergo multiple transformation programs often back to back and not coordinated, while delivering portfolios to market against an ever more complicated external stakeholder environment.
The companies and individual leaders that identify and address the inevitable "change fatigue" will be much better equipped going forward.
Learning Objectives:
- An overview of the most rigorous, analytical decomposition of how change fatigue actually manifests – what does it mean in practice.
- McKinsey's perspectives and cross-industry observations of what does and does not work.

Discours Social et les "Relectures" de Paul Nizan

The originality of Paul Nizan's trajectory as a writer most certainly stems from his double reception: once in the Thirties and the second time during the 60s and 70s. A question that begs asking pertains to the readability of his works outside the political context in which they were written. Posing paratextual and epitextual interference as the main agents in the survival of literary works, this article ascribes interest in Nizan's works to their continuous alignment with coincident social discourse. An analysis of peritextual data, namely prefaces, reviews, articles and monographs, indicates for instance that Nizan gained universal acceptance in the sixties through the concept of dissidence, which overrode ideological differences. After having been perceived as a treasonous act during the afterwar years, his departure from the French Communist Party came to symbolize heightened personal integrity during the Algerian Crisis and in the demise of the traditional French Left. In the seventies, oddly enough, it is his exemplary orthodoxy, while a member of the Party, which becomes his trademark. And in the wake of the Left's crushing defeat in the 1978 legislative elections, Nizan continues to haunt the French intelligentsia, a constant reminder of an unfulfilled dream.

Evaluation of "Green" Products
June 1, 2008
COLUMN : Code Arena
In a recent cartoon, a mother first offered her daughter a T-shirt made out of recycled cotton, then her son sandals soled with recycled tire treads. The punch line was one sibling observing to the other that perhaps they should have been more specific when they told their mom they wanted to wear something green for St. Patrick's Day.
These days it seems that everyone is jumping on the "green" bandwagon. The Detroit automakers are offering "green" SUVs. A bleach manufacturer is now advertising its "green" household cleaner. Even cosmetic counters display products meant to enhance a women's appearance while being environmentally sensitive. What could be a better combination than that?
The real question in all of this, of course, is what exactly is "green." How does one determine if a product is "green," or, more specifically, if your product is "green" or more "green" than your competitors'?
Apparently there are a number of agencies who would be glad to evaluate your product for you and, for a fee, tell you if it is "green". These agencies include, among others, Consumer Products Report.
The International Code Council Evaluation Services has announced it will begin offering evaluation of green building products through its International Accreditation Service. During a discussion on this topic at an April 1, 2008 meeting of the ICC Industry Advisory Council in Washington, D.C., the question was asked, "What will be the basis for their criteria?" The response was that ICC ES can evaluate products for compliance to any code or standard. Information on the new program, including a forum held in April 2008 on the topic, is available at www.iasonline.org/more/sustainable.html.
ICC has also announced it will begin offering inspectors the opportunity to be certified as a "green" inspector. Through the certification program, code officials will be offered an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to understand the application of green building technology and assess adherence with green building programs while also providing assurances that green and sustainable buildings are safe. The committee responsible for the development of the certification exam has been newly formed. No apparent target date has been announced for the introduction of this program.
In an effort to improve the code compliance component of new building construction, ICC is developing a software program called Smartcodes. The intent is to provide the user with automated code compliance checking of the design and construction of a new building.
The whole concept of Smartcodes depends upon the reduction of the building design to a collection of data known as the building information model (BIM). When the building design has been reduced to an accurate BIM, the Smartcodes software will then be able to evaluate each bit of data for code compliance. The members of the ICC IAC assembled for the April 1 meeting were advised that each trade association that has criteria (standards or not) for products referenced in the International Codes should determine just how that criteria would be represented using a BIM.
For some aspects of fenestration products that might be rather straightforward. For example, both the 2006 IBC and 2006 IRC require exterior windows and sliding doors to be tested and labeled in accordance with AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440. The BIM data for that product would then simply be whether or not it is labeled; or perhaps could be expanded to include product type, performance grade and class. Including the performance grade (which includes an indication of design pressure rating) would also facilitate demonstration of compliance with the wind load provisions of those codes. Similarly, the BIM data needed for a fenestration product to demonstrate compliance with the IECC or the energy provisions of the IRC might simply be that product's U-factor, SHGC and, possibly, air leakage rate.
In some cases reducing the information needed to BIM data, however, is likely to be more difficult. For example, although both the 2006 IBC and IRC require exterior windows and sliding doors to be labeled in accordance with AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440, other types of fenestration products, such as storefront, curtainwall, side hinged do ors, etc., are to be tested for design pressure in accordance with ASTM E330 and the glass designed in accordance with ASTM E1300. Can the information on a test report, including span and spacing of the framing system, type of glass, type and location of anchors, etc., be reduced to a BIM? This may be more of a challenge.
A demonstration of the Smartcode system, for evaluation of a building for compliance with the IECC, is available at www.iccsafe.org/smartcodes.
The ICC has formed code action committees to study the existing International Codes and make proposed changes. The purpose of these committees differs from those of the ICC Code Technology Committee, which was formed specifically to respond to topics assigned to it by the ICC Board of Directors. Historically topics assigned to the ICC CTC have been those issues that have "taken up a lot of time (generated a lot of discussion) on the hearing floor." The intent of the ICC CTC was to remove some of the controversy from the hearing process and allow all interested parties a venue for discussion, with some hope for resolution, before the topic is brought back to the hearing floor.
The ICC Code Action Committees are intended to be more proactive. By identifying areas where the International Codes could be improved and bringing forth recommended proposals for those improvements, it is hoped the ICC CACs can facilitate the ongoing maintenance of the International Codes.
The three ICC CACs, and their assigned areas of responsibility, are as follows:
- CAC-B-Building related codes, including- all chapters of the IBC and Chapters 1-10 of the IRC
- CAC- MPG-Mechanical, Plumbing & Fuel Gas related codes, including IRC M/P, IMC, IPC & IFGC
- CAC- Oth-Other codes, including IECC, IRC Chapter 11 & other I-Codes as evaluated by the CAC.
ICC has formed a blue ribbon panel to respond to threats of wildfire in urban wildland interface areas. The purpose of the panel is to help at risk communities develop and begin the implementation of a wildfire protection plan by bringing together individuals who represent state, local and private sector interests. Further information is available at www.iccsafe.org/news/nr/2007/0820wildfire.html.

By Carla St. Louis
December 8th – P. Diddy served as host to the man of the hour, songwriter Rico Love's lavish 30th birthday fête at Katsuya.
Attendees were treated to a two-course meal at the Asian-inspired restaurant located within the SLS Hotel in South Beach during Miami's Art Basel.
The exclusive guest list only included a selective 100 of Art Basel's coveted celebrities such as Kelly Rowland, Eva Cavalli, Fat Joe, Pharrell Williams, Russell Simmons, Andre Harrell, Janice Combs, Angie Beyince, Kenny Burns, Manning Summer, DJ Cassidy, and selected media.
Rico was gifted with a limited edition Hublot Miami watch–named the "Hublot 305," of which only 10 were made–by owner of Hublot Americas, Rick Delacroix.
That totals his Hublot timepiece collection at two. Yours? Zero. Alas, the life of the anemic middle class. But I digress.
"I am lucky, honored and privileged to have such a warm and heartfelt group of family and friends around me on such a special day," said an appreciative Love. "I'd like to thank Eva and Roberto Cavalli, and our sponsors, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bal Harbour, Hublot and GREY GOOSE, for making this momentous birthday occasion the most memorable ever."
As revealed by 24HourHipHop's interview with Rico, 2013 is preparing to be a productive year for him as he's already working on various projects for Usher, The Wanted, Kelly Rowland, and much more.
And perhaps, Diddy? Even the mogul couldn't hold his tongue, and shared his appreciation of Rico's musical prowess with this gem to the audience:
"I knew Rico while he was growing up in Harlem. I was blown away by his music then, and I still continue to listen to it now. Please raise your glasses to our friend, Rico Love."
At the end of the dinner, Rico was presented with a five-layer birthday cake, encased with notes etched into each tier and a 'Hublot' logo written in white icing on the middle layer.
A Hublot embossed cake? The ultimate example of wealth.

Iran sentences Michigan man to death
The sentencing of an American man to death in Iran for allegedly being a CIA operative prompted outrage Monday from his parents in Michigan and the White House.
Behnaz Hekmati, mother of Amir Mirzaei Hekmati, said she and her husband Ali are "shocked and terrified" about the sentence.
His father, Ali, a professor at a community college in Flint, Mich., said his son was visiting his grandmothers in Iran.
Amir Hekmati, a former military translator, was born in Arizona and graduated from high school in Michigan. His family is of Iranian origin, and Amir Hekmati, 28, claims dual citizenship.
Iran charged the younger Hekmati with receiving special training and serving at U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan before traveling to Iran on an intelligence mission.
A court convicted him of belonging to the CIA and trying to incriminate Iran in terrorist activity, according to a state radio report Monday.
"Allegations that Mr. Hekmati either worked for, or was sent to Iran by, the CIA are false," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said. "The Iranian regime has a history of falsely accusing people of being spies, of eliciting forced confessions, and of holding innocent Americans for political reasons."
The State Department and the White House demanded Hekmati's immediate release Monday.
Swiss diplomats, acting on behalf of the United States because Washington and Tehran don't have diplomatic relations, have tried unsuccessfully to gain consular access to Hekmati.
Iran doesn't recognize dual citizenship and considers Americans of Iranian origin to be solely citizens of the Islamic republic.
Hekmati's mother said her son did not engage in any acts of spying, or "fighting against God," as the judge has claimed in his sentence. "Amir is not a criminal. His very life is being exploited for political gain," she said.
She said that a "grave error" has been committed and that the family has authorized legal representatives to make direct contact with Iranian authorities to find a solution.
"We pray that Iran will show compassion and not murder our son, Amir, a natural-born American citizen, who was visiting Iran and his relatives for the first time," Behnaz Hekmati said.
Amir Hekmati served in the Marines from 2001 to 2005, including one deployment to Iraq in 2004 and a stint at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, Calif., according to the Marine Corps.
The sentence comes amid rising tensions between the two countries because of tougher U.S. sanctions against Iran over its disputed nuclear enrichment program.
On Monday, the United Nations nuclear agency confirmed that Iran has begun enriching uranium at an underground bunker to a level that can be upgraded more quickly for use in a nuclear weapon than the nation's main enriched stockpile.

Missing boy found in family's basement
DETROIT, MI - The search for a missing 12-year-old in Detroit is over, but there is now confusion about where the boy was found.
The eleven day search ended when police found him in the basement of his home. It was the fourth time authorities swept the home since he disappeared nearly two weeks ago.
The boy was actually found while his father was being interviewed live by Nancy Grace. He was stunned silent by the news. Some people are now throwing accusations his way due to his son's mysterious reappearance, and he doesn't like it.
"For anybody to imply that I somehow knew that my son was in the basement, it's absurd and it's wrong," Charlie Bothuell fired back at reporters, "I love my son, I'm glad he's home and he's going to get the great future he deserves. Period."
The missing boy's father took a polygraph test, but the results were inconclusive. His stepmother declined to take the test.
The family says the boy has run away in the past.

Growing a Shared Vision
Work. Play. Friends. Food. For four family farms in rural Iowa, the old way is not only today's reality but also a touchstone for tomorrow.
"We're a group of farmers that come together to help one another, to share the ups and downs and ideas about how to farm sustainably," says Grinnell Heritage's Melissa Dunham, summing up a revived collaborative strategy that bolsters the economic vitality of each farm.
The Gang of Four leverages each farm's experience to grow more than organic produce; these farmers are growing a vision for the economic future of Iowa.
Still, even the most resolute organic farmer can feel isolated in a rural landscape dominated by industrial agriculture.
"It's reassuring to know that Andy has weeds, too," says Blue Gate's Sean Skeehan with a grin, "but conversation is really why we make the drive each month."
Summer turns to fall, frost settling over the fields, and the group gathers once more.
No chores or projects to complete today, just a celebration of the year's accomplishments with a harvest feast.
Crowded around a table at Scattergood Friends School — before a spread of roasted Muscovy duck from Genuine Faux Farm; glazed carrots from Grinnell Heritage Farm; assorted jams, jellies, and honey from Blue Gate Farm; and a medley of roasted sweet potatoes, beets, and parsnips from Scattergood — all raise their glasses to a season of work and friendship in hopes of renewed success in the year to come.
Dusk falls and eyes begin to sag. Headlights swing out of the drive.
Dawn will come a little too soon, and the farmers will rise heavy with sleep but buoyed by their web of support.
When winter winds finally push them indoors a few weeks hence, it is time for dreaming again, for spreading the seed catalogs on the kitchen table alongside the hot biscuits, comb honey, and tea.
The season's triumphs and failures have all been disked under now, save the lettuce, spinach, and chard hanging on year-round in the hoop house.
Come February, the grindstone of the new season will groan forward again, but this time all of these farmers will know something they might not have fully believed a year ago: They are not alone.
Let us know what you think about this story

Harry Potter fans swarm new theme park
By Barbara Liston
ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe led groups of excited kids dressed in Hogwarts uniforms as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park officially opened on Friday to long lines and snarled traffic.
Radcliffe, Rupert Grint who plays the boy wizard's best friend Ron Weasley, and other actors from the blockbuster movie and book series, were on hand at Universal Orlando as fans lined up more than eight hours to be among the first visitors.
Before dawn, the backup of Potter fans began to block the main highway through Orlando near the entrances to Universal, prompting the theme park to open its parking garage at 5 a.m. -- 30 minutes earlier than planned, according to local media.
Visitors told Reuters that by 8:30 a.m. the line to get inside wrapped around the exterior of Universal's Islands of Adventure park, of which the Wizarding World is one of six unique sections. And the wait for the signature ride, the Forbidden Journey, reached at least 90 minutes, at one point.
"It was worth it, just because I'm a Harry Potter fanatic," said Kelsey Rigg, 18, a British transplant to Florida who at 3 a.m. joined a crowd of several hundred people.
Universal executives did not immediately have information about crowd size.
The 20-acre Harry Potter park reportedly cost $250 million to build and recreates the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and other places dreamed up by author J.K. Rowling in her fantasy novels about the boy wizard and his friends.

Title: Lobbyist, California Coalition on Workers' CompensationResume: Prior to joining the firm, Schmelzer served as a lobbyist for four years, most recently for the California Chamber of Commerce. Prior to this, Schmelzer served as legislative director for the California Manufacturers and Technology Association. Preceding his experience in the legislative realm, Schmelzer spent five years administering workers' comp claims for both public and private sector entities. This experience gives him a unique perspective of the human resources and insurance issues that face public and private entities.Schools: Bachelor of arts in government, California State University, Sacramento.
A former claims adjuster, Schmelzer has been on the front lines presenting the employer perspective and defending their interests in Sacramento. He served as the lobbyist for the California Manufacturers and Technology Association and then moved over to the California Chamber of Commerce in 2007, where he advocated against bills that threatened to roll back the workers' comp reforms. Now Jason is representing the interests of this 250-member employer group that includes both private and public employers.
What are the top three issues in California workers' comp today?
The governor's race. First and foremost, the preservation of SB 899 and the reforms of 2004—depending on who is elected, what happens to workers' compensation law can change dramatically. Second, the rise in medical costs. The cost per claim is going up substantially, and has been for a long time. Despite the 2004 reforms, it has continued to climb—it leveled off following the reforms but is heading back up. As always, getting quality care to injured workers is important.
Are we headed for a hard market, and if so, when will it come? How long should we expect it to last? What are the repercussions?
I think the answer is yes. Unfortunately, the biggest impact from an employer's perspective is a lack of choice as insurers leave the market. People tend to get out of the market in a hard market, and less competition almost always equals more cost.
It's no longer a question of if but when we enter a hard market, so what is in the future of State Compensation Insurance Fund? Will its market share climb back to historic levels? Do you think that further reforms are needed for the governance of State Fund, for example, does it make sense to have Senate confirmation for board members?
I don't think they'll get as high as they used to be, it would take something substantial for them to reach that market share again. If we get to the point where we have a new governor, the laws change, and costs are going up so that insurers are turned off from the California market, as they were earlier in the decade, SCIF will see a resurgence.
Are medical provider networks a help or a hindrance? How should they be improved?
Medical provider networks (MPNs) are a great tool for self-insured employers. Large companies can set up boutique MPNs that do a great job getting the right care to the injured worker with less utilization review and less conflict between employer and doctor. In the insurers' market there is less of a benefit—there is a benefit, but it's not the same as for self-insured employers. The way to improve is to somehow reform the MPN laws so that insured employers have the ability to set up boutique MPNs—right now they take off-the-shelf MPNs that include every doctor under the sun. They would benefit from a system like that of self-insured employers.
How should utilization review be improved?
There's a lot of controversy over the use of utilization review (UR). I always remind people that it's the only way that an employer can ensure that treatment is consistent with the schedule. The success of UR is a little bit tied to medical provider networks—when you improve MPNs to look like the self-insured boutiques, you take away the need for broad utilization review. When you have larger networks that include all manner of doctors, you don't have the same close relationships with the doctors, and no trust.
What needs to be done to improve return-to-work?
Almost nothing that we've done historically has worked. We need to streamline the process. Large companies have the staff and expertise to navigate the gauntlet, but the legal requirements need to be blended into one process, especially for smaller companies. Also, doctors need to be more willing to bring injured workers back to modified duty early in the claim, and employers need to be more willing to offer modified duty instead of temporary disability.
What do you see, other than medical, as the next big cost driver?
It really depends—we're at such an interesting point with the political change. It could very well be permanent disability (PD), not in all cases, but some—particularly the high-dollar cases. PD drives a lot of the costs in claims, especially litigation and medical expense. It can have an impact on many different levels of claims costs.
Is it realistic to deal for more cost-cutting reforms in exchange for increasing PD benefits?
Absolutely it's realistic. Employers have said for a long time that to the extent you can take extra costs from the system—administrative, drug repackaging and drug compounding costs—it frees up money to spend on permanent disability. It's reasonable for us as employers to sit down with labor and work out a deal. It's a useful exercise that will hopefully yield results.
Where do you see applicant attorneys focusing litigation in the future?
You never can tell. It's situational, especially with the political situation and the governor's election. If there's no change in the status quo, they'll keep going after PD in litigation.
Now that the federal health care bill has become law, what impact, if any, do you see that having on workers' compensation and do you have any concerns?
I haven't heard of much and I'm not an expert in the federal health care law. As far as I know, workers' compensation will continue to be an independent system in California, so we shouldn't see much change.

Jessie J: Best Female Artist Hopeful at the 2014 BRIT Awards
Checking out all the star-studded action, Jessie J headed over to the =""> 2014 BRIT Awards at the O2 Arena in London, England this evening (February 19).
The "Domino" singer came ready to have a smashing good time and caught up with her fellow celebrities while fans and shutterbugs snapped up pictures.
Tonight, the British born beauty hopes to scoop up the award for Best Female Solo Artist, though she faces competition from Birdy, Ellie Goulding, Laura Marling and Laura Mvula.
While most of the night's attention will be focused on the various winners of the coveted BRIT trophies, there will also be plenty of live performance action to get excited about.
Artists slated to rock out on stage include Katy Perry, Ellie Goulding, Bruno Mars, Lorde, Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers and Arctic Monkeys.

Mr. FLEMING. I want to thank the gentleman, Mr. Franks of Arizona, for authoring this fine bill.
You know, I find that gender-oriented abortion is problematic for two reasons. Number one is very obvious. The taking of an innocent life merely because that child happens to be a boy or a girl certainly goes against all the values that we hold true in America. But, secondly, because of the technology requiring that you are well into the second trimester even to determine the gender of the fetus means that we're talking about a mid- to late-term abortion, something that is so brutal.
Mr. Speaker, as a family physician and a father of four, two boys and two girls, I have delivered over 300 babies in my career. Each and every child, regardless of his or her gender, is a unique individual, deserving of equal protection under the law. The American people agree with me on this. In fact, polls show that over two-thirds of Americans are supportive of eliminating abortion practices tailored to destroy babies because of their gender.
Gender aside, which is really what this is, the deliberate annihilation of a particular sex, often unborn female children, as we know, generally occurs midway through pregnancy. These late-term abortions are grisly procedures, where the condemned is often poisoned or dismembered before being extracted from the womb, sometimes in pieces. Medical evidence shows that, at a minimum, unborn babies can experience pain at 20 weeks.
I ask my colleagues to support this bill, H.R. 3541.

Arsène Wenger believes keeping the "fire" of crisis away from the Club will be central to their hopes of success this season.
Arsenal moved into fourth spot in the Premier League on Saturday after their late win at Sunderland, while Chelsea and Liverpool both lost.
Wenger is confident his team have the quality and desire to secure a top-four spot, but insists their next run of games could define the rest of their season.
"You could say that the crisis at the moment in England is a bit like fire. It moves very quickly from one club to another," he said.
"It's like a fire with strong wind so you have to be a bit cautious because it can quickly come back. The wind can blow it back!
"This is the important time for us. Before the week started, I said that this week would be vital for us. It's down to us to do well and hopefully we will do it."
Wenger believes that keeping as many of his squad fit for the remainder of the campaign could prove crucial.
"We play in many competitions now and we can't lose a player like Per Mertesacker in every competition. What is important for us now instead of losing a player is getting players back," he said.
"If we can get Diaby back, Wilshere back and not lose any players in the defensive sector then we have a chance but we'll see. This week is vital for us."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: Thanks to HBO, I finally saw Fantastic Four – it wasn't all that bad, though it got horrid reviews. (Sometimes a superhero movie is just a superhero movie, you know?) But hey, they're making the inevitable sequel, and a ton of pictures have leaked from the set. Because I know you're just all dying to see The Thing in a tux. Possible spoilers, and I don't mean the fact that there's a wedding.

Lekala O&B
This is the first time that I have used a Lekala Pattern and I will definitely be making more from this company. Pattern download was a mere 99cents + they create the pattern to your custom measurements. Pretty happy with the end result! I would class this dress as intermediate, particularly because of all of the pivot corners, I'm over them!

Green Bay's Busy Week Ends with Loss at Butler
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
Green Bay Athletics
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Playing its fourth match in six days, the Green Bay volleyball team fell short in three close sets Sunday afternoon at Butler, losing 3-0 (25-21, 27-25, 25-21) in Horizon League action at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Green Bay closed its first half of its conference schedule at 4-4, tied with Butler in fifth place in the league standings.
Sophomore Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) continued her strong play of late with a team-high 13 kills for the Phoenix. Senior Abbey Gitter (Hortonville, Wis.), who led the Phoenix with 13 kills and zero errors in Saturday's win at Wright State, added nine kills and just one error on Sunday. However, the Green Bay players other than Zabkowicz and Gitter had just 21 kills and 14 errors.
Green Bay opened slowly and trailed throughout the opening set, but a kill from junior Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) made it 22-20 and gave the Phoenix a chance. Butler was able to pull away and close out the set from there.
Butler had the lead for most of the second set, but Zabkowicz capped a 4-0 spurt with a kill to give the Phoenix a 22-20 lead late. Green Bay had a set point moments later after a Gitter kill made it 24-23, but the Bulldogs dismissed the chance and took the set, 27-25.
Junior Haley Oelke (Mosinee, Wis.) recorded a service ace midway through the third set to put Green Bay ahead 16-13 as the Phoenix looked to avoid the sweep. Butler scored the next four points and eight the next nine to take control.
Junior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) had 19 digs to remain as the Horizon League's leader in digs per set. She was one of four players with double digits in digs for Green Bay, as sophomore setter Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.) had her second double-double in as many days with 32 assists and 14 digs. Oelke had a career-high 13 digs and sophomore Sabrina Marunowski (Milwaukee, Wis.) had 11.
With the busy stretch in the books, Green Bay will return home and host league-leading Milwaukee on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Kress Center. The match will be the team's annual Breast Cancer Awareness Match and will begin at 4 p.m.

A little theif!
We caught Ezra red handed the other day! We came into the kitchen to find Ezra standing on his art desk stuffing TONS of money into his pockets. Money from our "Boat Money" fund that Canaan has so dilligently been saving for a cruise. Thankfully he put it back without too much of a fuss and hasn't stolen anymore (atleast I don't think so :)
2 comments:
megan--that is so funny!!! :) hmmm...maybe we should start a cruise savings too!! :)ReplyDelete
Ezra may have fallen into temptation this one time, but rumor has it there are a few other thieves dipping into the jar to satisfy that Starbucks craving! But don't worry, we won't tell Canaan, hee, hee! - Jason and KrisReplyDelete

text: I went and test drove a cts-v today. I was ready to bring it home after the test drive, owever when I shut the key off the engine shut off very roughly. It seemed like what some older cars used to do that I called dieseling. After shutdown the engine almost continues to run roughly for a few revolutions before it finally dies. It did this each time I shut off the key. Is this a normal trait of the ls6? Has anyone else ever noticed this rough shutdown condition? Should I be concerned or not? Thanks in advance for your help! If this is normal then I may be getting a new V, if not I'll keep looking for the right one.

Doesn't your TPMS light come on, too, since the pressure is lower than what it's expecting?
I opted out of that package for the ride and all-weather traction compromises. Our roads are crap here, and it's impossible to avoid every pothole. We also get enough winter weather where the summer tires would be inadequate year round, but not enough where it makes sense to get snow tires. With the (unspecified) performance upgrades on the base Titanium and the decent but modest power of the engine, I think the 50-series 17's will be be plenty.
I agree that 17-inch tires/wheels would probably feel better as far as comfort.
Typically tires aren't made with a recommended pressure written on the sides, only the max pressure. According to the door jamb and the manual, the PS3s are supposed to be at 39 psi.
I realize this will decrease my fuel economy and might cause uneven wear. I'll just have to wait and see and watch the tread wear, and take a hit in mpgs, because 39 feels much too firm for me. If I go on a long trip I might temporarily put them at that pressure, but for bumpy roads around town I'll stick with 32 unless the tread starts to show too much wear on the outside edges.

Bargain hunters can this week raise a glass to Baileys, bag a stop smoking kit and try out a trick in Prêt.
Bag a free lunch
Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch? An On The Money reader reports: "I went into a Prêt A Manger branch in Broadgate for my lunch and, as I was re-using a bag from a previous visit, was told that my hot wrap and apple juice, worth £5, were on the house." Apparently it doesn't work every time, but it's worth a try for Prêt regulars.
Grab a pack-in pack
Smokers don't just face costlier cigarettes, but also higher bills for medical insurance, income protection cover, travel insurance and other financial services. So if the health risk isn't enough to make you quit, think how much extra cash you'll have to spend on other parts of your life. And if you visit stoptober.smokefree.nhs.uk, you'll receive a free quit pack, including leaflets, advice, test and a stressball.
Chocolate snifter
Baileys lovers can claim a free sample of the brand's new Chocolat Luxe liqueur before it hits the shelves by visiting Baileys' Facebook page. Just click "like" to receive one of 100,000 5cl samples.
Stay an extra night
If you're booking a hotel stay and a search through a price comparison site reveals Hotels.com as one of the cheapest options, it's worth signing up to its Welcome Rewards scheme. For every 10 nights booked in the 65,000 hotels that have signed up to the scheme, customers receive a free night's stay. There are no restrictions of where travellers can stay, it just takes an average price based on the last 10 bookings. The site's app also hosts Tonight's Local Deals with daily last-minute offers and room reservations for the same night.Reuse content

my light fades dimmer to brighter
Hello all:
I have a reading light (about 40watts) which I use to read before turning out the light at night to sleep. I've noticed sometimes the light fades for a few seconds and then gets bright again. There's no one using power elsewhere so the only thing it could be is fridge, furnace or water heater kickin in and drawing power. Any ideas?
Thanking you in advance.
If this happens all over the house youu need to call your power company ASAP. If it only happens on one circuit in the house you need to look for a loose neutral connection either in the panel or as part of the circuit wiring.
Are you really sure theres nothing else drawing power,
like a pump or motor ?
If not it sure sounds like a loose connection some where !
Could even be the lamp base.
Try another lamp.
Try another outlet.
