KAUFMAN-The Kaufman County Commissioners Court appointed a committee Monday to study and recommend a personnel policy regarding disciplinary action.
Human Resources director Lorie Floyd told commissioners, that except for the Sheriff's Department, the county lacks an official policy on employee suspensions. The absence of such a policy resulted in an employee receiving full pay during a three-week suspension from work as a form of discipline, she said.
"There needs to be a guide as to what we can do," Floyd reiterated.
She proposed the establishment of a county-wide policy that would spell out investigative procedures of complaints against employees and allow for unpaid suspensions, if warranted.
County Judge Bruce Wood said he often gets calls from county supervisors wanting to know what action can be taken when employees violate policies. "We don't have a consistent policy," Wood said. "I just think we need to be consistent."
The committee will consist of Floyd, Precinct 4 Commissioner Tom Manning, Precinct 1 Justice of the Peace Mary Bardin, Precinct 3 Constable Keith Stephens, Chief Deputy Rudy Evans and Victim Witness Coordinator Shirley Bruner of the District Attorney's Office.
The court also revised the wording of the employee vacation policy to guarantee that any employees leaving county service receive credit for partial-year service when their employment is terminated before their employment anniversary date.
In other action, commissioners:
• appointed American National Bank vice president Robert Messer of Terrell to represent the county on the North East Texas Regional Mobility Authority.
• set a workshop on requiring all subdivisions located outside of municipalities to provide plats to the county regardless of lot acreages. Lot sizes of 10 acres or more are now exempt from platting. Manning said the plan concerned him because he would not want to do anything to discourage development that appears to be on the upswing now.
• heard an update from Internet technology committee chair George York on the plan to coordinate mapping software between the Kaufman County Appraisal District and other agencies, such as law enforcement, to better identify locations. He also recommended adopting a common-case numbering plan for criminal cases that will utilize the same identification numbers for arrests and prosecutions. Sheriff David Byrnes told the court that confusion about case ID numbers had resulted in prisoners being released in error and others being held longer than they should be. "On the other end of that is a human being we are dealing with," Byrnes said. "It's past the time to do this."
• approved a contract with Gabriel, Roeder, Smith Co. of Irving to analyze the county's liabilities regarding retirement and health care benefits for GASB45 reporting purposes.
• ratified an agreement between eRecording Partners Network and the Kaufman County Clerk's Office for electronic recording of real property documents.
• tabled a spending proposal of more than $50,000 at the Texas Department of Transportation's surplus equipment sale from Road and Bridge funds from precincts 1 and 3.
• agreed to retain Allison, Bass & Associates to assist Kaufman County in the creation and administration of a County Energy Transportation Investment Zone. The entity would allow the county to apply for grants for infrastructure improvements needed as a result of damage caused by new oil and gas activity in any affected areas. A public hearing is set for Monday, Dec. 23, during the regular commissioners court meeting. County residents are encouraged to submit their input.

Northwest Indiana
I'm from Highland, just wondering if anyone else in this area is as excited about this hobby as I am. I go to the Ark in Merrillville quite a bit and so far I think that that is the place to go around here.
Yeah, the ark is probably the best fish store in the area, but beware because I recently purchased some endlers guppies which brought home anchorworms to my tank, which killed all my fish.
Still, great store for plants and inverts, and before this last case I never had an issue with my fish being sick from there.
The coral reef in valparaiso has a nice selection of fish and plants. The owners are the son and daughter in law of the owners of ballot pet and hobby. So they already have a proven track record even though they are still a young store.
+1 on the Coral Reef. And if they dont have it, they will get it for you. Good prices too. Much lower then the Ark.
The Ark and Coral Reef are practically the only decent fish stores around here IMO. Pet Haven's fish look sick a lot, and don't even get me started on Fish-R-Us.
As for good prices, I think all of the stores are pretty horribly priced, compared to what you can find online. But hey...what can ya do...
Fish r us? Lol I don't even consider that as a place to shop. The coral reef does have better prices and customer service then the ark. I'm only 5 minutes from the ark, but will drive 30 to get to the coral reef. Obviously online is cheaper. Less staff, lower operating cost, and an unlimited number of customers from all over.
I usually take the trip out to Bolingbrook IL to aquarium adventure. They have really good sales every few months. 50-60% off
Plants to sell
Anyone have plants or fish they want to sell in NWI?
I live by the mall on 30 in Merriville/Valpo.
Hello all,
I am from DeMotte. I am just started a planted tank in my junior high science classroom. I am sick of having to keep buying water plants every time we talk about things such as photosynthesis. I just need to get the plants now. This is new for me so I am excited about seeing how it goes.
If you are looking for rare fish with amazing prices then you will have to check fish r us. The owner is very nice and knows what he is talking about I have been dealing with him for quite some time and he was able to find me rare fish I always wanted. His prices are like 50% the other stores especially on dry stock . He got a brand new 125 for less than 200$... They are a pretty selection of different fish especially African cichlids they have some awesome rare Victorian cichlids ... I recommend that place to anyone that likes great fish at great places.
Bump! Griffith here ;)

Teddy Bear NameAmerican President Theodore Roosevelt was often called Teddy, and after one particular hunting trip this nickname took on a new meaning. Roosevelt was an outdoorsman and a hunter, but he also loved animals. On one occasion, he was hunting with some of his aides and a group of reporters. For several days, the newspapers reported that the president had failed to shoot any game. Finally, Roosevelt's aides found a bear, which they cornered and presented to him as a trophy. However, Roosevelt felt compassion for the bear and refused to shoot it. This drawing illustrates Roosevelt's kind attitude toward the bear.
Teddy Bear CreationA Brooklyn store owner, Morris Michtom, saw the drawing of Roosevelt and the bear cub and was inspired to create a new toy. He created a little stuffed bear cub and put it in his shop window with a sign that read "Teddy's bear." The toys were an immediate success and Michtom founded the Ideal Novelty and Toy Co., which still exists today. Teddy bears have stood the test of time and are as popular today as ever. The teddy bear craze even inspired music. Here you see the cover of a song called Teddy Bear March and Two Step from 1907.
Teddy RooseveltRoosevelt enjoyed spending time outdoors with his friends, such as fellow conservationist (a person who cares about protecting nature) John Muir. Here you can see him on a camping trip with his friend John Burroughs and some other men. Roosevelt wrote to his son Archie a letter about another camping trip when Burroughs had difficulty sleeping because of a family of flying squirrels in the cabin.Check out the full range of Steiff products including baby safe items, to adult collectable pieces.

'Harry Potter' Wizard's Collection New Clips Hit & Review
The Harry Potter movie series was a huge event, and the upcoming Harry Potter Wizards Collection is going to make sure you remember it with thirty-one blu-ray discs. Easily a must for any big collector and we've got a couple new clips showing more behind the scenes below.
Many times movie franchises will wait years before putting out something as massive as the Harry Potter Wizards Collection hoping to keep milking out more money from fans, but not so with this one. They know that to have a price take just under $350, they better make sure fans are willing to shell out that kind of money. This is one of those rare times it's so worth getting this one.
It's actually a rather beautifully designed that weighs 19 pounds. Yup, it weight matches the price and what you get with it is just astounding. The box itself is like a cool magic trick. When you open the lid inside is a cabinet with drawers to pull out plus some spring-triggered secret compartments that will bring out the little kid in anyone. When it arrived here, even the most jaded of souls Miss Sashay crept out of her office and once we opened the lid, she just couldn't stop playing with it like a Barbie's dreamhouse.
For me it was like a cool little treasure hunt since each of the hidden areas holds various Harry Potter movie memorabilia and there's even the Horcrux or a copy of Salazar Slytherin's locket that was seen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I.
I don't need to talk about the movies since any fan has seen them all at least once, but seeing them like this will be a treat for anyone who hasn't seen them or a mega fan that can revisit and watch the evolution of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Ruper Grint growing up before you eyes.
So along with a DVD, Blu-ray and Ultraviolet copy of each movie, this is an idea of just some of the special features which are very special indeed. I rarely review a blu-ray release based solely on the design and special features, but this is one that deserves high praise for creativity.
Here's a gallery of images to show you everything you'll get in this collection to. Everything from Marauder's Map, Hermione's Time-Turner and the Quidditch World Cup program. One of the clips below shows the secrets revealed of how they created the famous Quidditch scenes.
[nggallery id=151]

Uruguay Could Be First Nation to Legalize Marijuana [POLL]
Uruguay could be the first country to legalize marijuana. The Huffington Post reports that Uruguay's president has made it clear that his plan for legalizing marijuana in the South American nation does not mean he favors legalizing any other illicit drugs.
Uruguay's President, Jose Mujica, says his plan is for the government to sell the marijuana at a cheap and reasonable price in hopes of taking profits from the drug dealers.
Mujica says that while drug addiction is a medical problem, drug trafficking is an "un-winnable" police problem.
Uruguay would be the world's first nation to sell marijuana directly.
Do you think if marijuana was legal that it would cut down on crime? Take the poll below and tell us what you think!

Music Musings :
Hard Rock & Metal
Inside the First Annual Idle Hands Heavy Metal Holiday Party
December 20, 2012 , 7:51 pm | By Bryan Reesman
Hard Rock & Metal, Music Musings, Out & About
A new holiday tradition was started last night at the Idle Hands bar in the East Village as many music industry insiders and their friends descended into a metal maelstrom complete with all the spirits you could drink. It was not too hard for Drumhead managing editor Heather Smith and I to convince Idle Hands owners Marc Schapiro and the Rev. Dave Ciancio to invite all our peeps out for one last party before the industry shuts down for 2012 and we all go into a Yuletide stupor. (Assuming that the world doesn't end this week.) Nor was it hard to bring Jö Schüftan (Horns Up Rocks), Bram Teitelman (Metal Insider) and Ben Umanov (MetalSucks) to co-host, promote and DJ at the event. Bram even taught me the basics of DJing so I could mix things up myself.
It was a raucous night, and I wager at least 200 of our friends showed up. Our Mrs. Santa (Heather) sold raffle tickets for plenty of cool prizes: a $50 Idle Hands Bar Tab, a one-year subscription to Drumhead, a Children of Bodom skate deck, a Black Metal XMas ornament and assorted Centruy Media CDs, over 50 CDs from The End Records, an autographed The Darkness cowbell, and an autographed Duff McKagan Loaded CD, among other prizes from Prosthetic Records, Freeman Promotions, Eagle Rock and Spinefarm. A total of $287 was raised for victims of Hurricane Sandy and sent to The Mayor's Fund for Hurricane Relief. Awesome.
Happy holidaze, everyone!

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Frequently Asked Questions
6. What tests are used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis?
There is no single, definitive test for rheumatoid arthritis.
Common tests for rheumatoid arthritis include
- The rheumatoid factor test. Rheumatoid factor is an antibody that is present eventually in the blood of most people with rheumatoid arthritis. However, not all people with rheumatoid arthritis test positive for rheumatoid factor, especially early in the disease. Also, some people who do test positive never develop the disease.
- The citrulline antibody test. This blood test detects antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP). This test is positive in most people with rheumatoid arthritis and can even be positive years before rheumatoid arthritis symptoms develop. When used with the rheumatoid factor test, the citrulline antibody test results are very useful in confirming a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis.
Other common tests for rheumatoid arthritis include
- the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which indicates the presence of inflammation in the body
- a test for white blood cell count
- a blood test for anemia.
X-rays are often used to determine the degree of joint destruction. They are not useful in the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis before bone damage is evident, but they can be used later to monitor the progression of the disease.

EU Morning Report- Focus turns to the ECB and BoE interest rate decisions
EU Morning Report
Focus turns to the ECB and BoE interest rate decisions
- The euro rose against the dollar yesterday trading near a 17-month high and closer to the 1.50 level. Today, the euro edged higher ahead of the European Central Bank interest rate decision. No interest rate hike is expected today and focus turns to the ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet's speech at 12:30GMT. Investors expect that Trichet will sound hawkish and they are waiting to see if the phrase strong vigilance will be mentioned fueling speculation for further rate hikes. Against the greenback, the euro rose to 1.4940 yesterday but then fell to 1.4806 during the US session and today the pair is at 1.4884.
- The US dollar weakened yesterday hitting a three year low against a basket of currencies. Later in the US session the dollar recovered after poor ADP jobs data hurt investors' risk appetite. ADP employment data revealed a 179K jobs growth in April but it failed to meet expectations. The poor ADP jobs figures add further strength on the view that the Fed will continue keeping its policy loose for an extended period of time. Against the Japanese yen, the dollar plummeted today falling to 80.26 from 81.18.
- The Australian dollar traded lower today weighed by lower than expected retail sales data. The Aussie continues to be under pressure while commodities continue to fall. Against the dollar, the Aussie dipped to 1.0693 from 1.0876 traded yesterday. Aussie's neighbor, the Kiwi ticked higher today after data revealed that the country's unemployment rate fell more than expected to 6.6% in the first quarter. Against the dollar, the New Zealand dollar rose to 0.7941 from yesterday's 0.7864.
- The sterling rose as high as 1.6573 versus the dollar from 1.6453 yesterday but then eased to trade at 1.6482. Today, the British pound continues to rise trading as high as 1.6543 ahead of today's Bank of England interest rate meeting. Investors are not expecting a change in interest rates at today's meeting as economic data such as Housing Prices continue to decline.
- Oil prices fell to 108.09 dollars a barrel from 111.19. Gold plummeted to 1505.94 dollars an ounce from a 1543.10. Silver also shed 8% yesterday sliding to 38.80 dollars an ounce from 42.30
Currency to watch out for: EURUSD & USDJPY
- § The EURUSD pivot point is at 1.4810 with a preference to enter Long positions at 1.4820
- § The USDJPY pivot point is at 80.95 with a preference to enter Short positions at 80.85
Today's calendar and market movers:
- § UK BoE Interest rate decision is forecasted to keep interest rates unchanged at 0.5%
- § Europe ECB Interest rate decision is forecasted to keep interest rates unchanged at 1.25%
- § US Initial Jobless Claims is forecasted to fall to 410K
Equity Markets:
US equities were negative on Wednesday with the S&P500 trading down -0.69% and the DJIA down -0.66%. The European bourses were also negative with the FTSE trading down -1.62%, the DAX down -1.69% and the CAC down -1.31 %. The NIKKEI and the HSI at the time of writing are trading up 1.57% and 0.02% respectively.

"It is rare to be able to acquire a U.S. international in the prime of his career," said San Jose general manager John Doyle. "When he became available we jumped at the opportunity to add him to our team. He is a great attacking player who will make an immediate impact, and our fans will enjoy watching him."
He will not be a Designated Player. Doyle says by adding Convey the Quakes have used up nearly all of its salary cap. Last year, the highest-paid player was winger Darren Huckerby ($335,000 base salary) and Convey's contract is believed to be worth nearly as much. Doyle said to join MLS from Reading Convey signed a four-year contract.
Convey, 25, returns to MLS after moving to Reading in August, 2004, in a $2 million transfer deal following 4 ½ seasons with D.C. United, for which he scored eight goals and registered 16 assists in 89 regular-season games. He was only 16 years old, the youngest player in league history at the time, when D.C. took him as the No. 12 overall selection in the 2000 SuperDraft.
He played for the U.S. U-17 team at the FIFA world championships in 1999 and represented the U.S. twice at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, in 2001 and 2003. Convey captained the U.S. team at the 2003 event in which it finished fifth, and that same year also played 15 matches for the senior team, including the Gold Cup and Confederations Cup.
He earned the most recent of his 46 U.S. caps a year ago in a 2-2 tie with Mexico in Houston.
In his second (2005-06) season with Reading, the Royals rolled to the League Championship (second division) title while winning 31 of 46 games, scoring 99 goals and conceding only 32. Convey played a key role in Reading's powerful attack and scored seven goals in 45 matches (all starts). He played all three U.S. games at the 2006 World Cup but during the tournament aggravated a knee injury that required surgery and a follow-up procedure in March, 2007, and during that season played only nine league matches.
Last season he appeared in 20 matches (12 starts) without scoring a goal. He played six league games this season before he and the club agreed to part ways.
Convey doesn't come back to MLS without some question marks. His knee problems, though he's declared himself fully hit, have occasionally resurfaced the past few months. He plays primarily on the left side, where the Quakes are already strong with Huckerby. He's a native of Philadelphia, which will come into play as a possible destination next year as the 16th MLS team.
Coach Frank Yallop says he plans to play Convey in the middle; he had the same idea in Los Angeles for David Beckham, and that didn't work out so well. The Quakes also wasted an allocation last year on former Rapid Peguero Jean-Philipppe, who arrived with a history of knee problems and quickly re-injured himself so severely he managed to play only 122 minutes.
The Quakes were scheduled to travel to Southern California Wednesday to play preseason matches against Seattle Friday and Houston Sunday on the campus of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
"I'm anxious to see what we've got," said Yallop last week at a training session. "I'm excited with what I've seen, but we've got to turn it into wins. We can't just be good out here, we have to be good on Saturday nights."

Check out our gallery of the best images from the sixth round of the 2011 Formula One season at Monaco, featuring:
-A Spice Girl
-And more... but mainly girls, boats and cars.
The glory of a Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
The luxury yachts in the harbour cost 8,000 euros a day to hire. Eye candy is not included in the price though.
Bathing suits only in the teams' swimming pools.
Some people are here to work not party, such as these paddock girls.
Jaime Alguersuari looks the part as he models jeans away from the racing. Mark Webber also involved.
Sebastian Vettel is away well in a race start featuring no crashes.
Jenson Button looks in a great position to win the 'crown jewel' he claimed in 2009 with the words: "Monaco, baby!"
An unfortunate safety car period sees Button drop to third, but he and fellow world champions Fernando Alonso and Vettel seem set for an exciting battle for the race win.
However a big smash results in a red flag - and Vettel is allowed to change his ruined tyres during the delay, allowing him to ease to a fifth victory in six races in 2011.
"You lucky sod."
The young German seems to have an admirer in the crowd in Ginger Spice. "I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want..."
Prince Albert II of Monaco: "Eyes off my fiancée, Sebastian!"
How to celebrate a win in style. Eddie Jordan and David Coulthard would also end up in there at one point.
Formula One + sun + women + wine + yacht = happiness

Will Flipper Play In Estonia?
John W. Kluge didn't get to be one of the richest men in America by being stupid. A onetime Ford assembly-line worker, he invested in a Washington radio station in 1946 and later a string of TV stations. That made his fortune in a big way in 1984, when he sold the TV stations to Rupert Murdoch for $2 billion. He was among the first to jump into cellular, too--picking up a cell-phone operation in 1983, which he sold three years later for a cool $1.6 billion.
Yet for all his lucrative dealmaking, the 81-year-old Kluge has never managed to conquer Hollywood. He has lost an estimated $275 million on Orion Pictures Corp., the production outfit he began investing in during the mid-1980s--only to see it sink into bankruptcy. Orion emerged from Chapter 11 in 1992, but it still gushes red ink. So why would Kluge's Metromedia International Group Inc. swoop in on Dec. 21 to bid $115 million for debt-plagued Samuel Goldwyn Co.? Or, among other apparently oddball deals, agree on Nov. 30 to pay an estimated $533 million for Alliance Entertainment Corp., a distributor of golden-oldie music by the likes of Mel Torme and Rosemary Clooney? The answer: Eastern Europe.
PICK OF SHOWS. Since the Berlin Wall came down, Kluge and his aides have been aggressively buying up licenses to provide wireless cable TV, radio, and telephones in such places as Riga, Tallinn, and Nizhny Novgorod. Now, Kluge's troops are hustling to line up the programming they intend to sell to these new customers. If it outbids Dutch media giant Polygram for the Samuel Goldwyn studio, Metromedia will gain the rights to a library of 1,100 films, including such classics as Guys and Dolls and Pride of the Yankees, as well as some 700 episodes of TV programs such as Flipper and Gentle Ben.
Will they line up in Estonia to see Flipper? Hard to say. But Kluge and company certainly think so. In a flurry of deals since August, 1994, Metromedia has also snapped up two smallish film companies. If you add in Orion and Goldwyn, the deals would give Metromedia rights to more than 2,100 films and television shows.
One problem: Much of Kluge's new empire isn't making any money. In a recent filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission, Metromedia acknowledged that its collection of companies lost $51.2 million in the first six months of 1995, on sales of $179.9 million. Moreover, the company is clogged with $399 million in short-term and long-term debt.
Kluge isn't talking about how he intends to turn his money-losers around. And he shows no sign of altering his strategy. Associates say Metromedia continues to bid for licenses not only in Eastern Europe but also in Asia. The company already ships such U.S. programs as MTV, Country Music Television, and the Discovery Channel to wireless cable-TV subscribers in such cities as Moscow, Bucharest, and Tashkent. It also owns radio stations in Moscow, Budapest, and elsewhere, and is building wireless phone systems in other regions.
Looking for financial stability, last April Kluge merged Metromedia with Actava Group Inc., a mishmash of companies formerly known as Fuqua Industries. Its chairman, John D. Phillips, is a 52-year-old turnaround specialist who has sold off everything but Actava's Snapper Power Equipment unit. An executive whose tastes run to denim and Harley Davidsons, Phillips will act as CEO of Kluge's entertainment companies from from Actava's Atlanta headquarters.
As a source of new programming, Kluge is counting on Motion Picture Corp. of America (MPCA), a production house he agreed on Nov. 27 to buy for $32.5 million in stock and cash. MPCA, which produced such low-budget hits as Dumb and Dumber and Threesome, plans to turn out 14 to 16 films next year for Metromedia. If Metromedia wins Goldwyn, which specializes in art films such as The Madness of King George, it would get ownership of a dozen other films in the works, including American Buffalo with Dustin Hoffman.
Can a library of movies and some startup production help put Kluge's entertainment biz in the black? Possibly. More likely, they will keep him in the game long enough to make back the losses from his Orion debacle--and find another, bigger company to buy him out. After all, some of John Kluge's shrewdest moves have come from knowing when to sell.

Biology & Nutrtion
While a few human development students find us as freshmen, the vast majority of our undergraduates discover our major through one of our entry level courses or word-of-mouth, so many students come to us as sophomores or even juniors. Because our students have so many different career interests in the human services they are often double majoring or working on a minor. This makes for some complicated decision making as students grapple with pre-requisites, major requirements, and restrictions on when courses are offered. It was for all of these reasons that we jumped at the chance to incorporate BecomeAlum course planning into our curriculum. The BecomeAlum plan of study is actually an assignment in one of our early classes, assuring each student takes ownership of their education. In addition, BecomeAlum provides composite reports of all student plans which helps our Department plan how often and how many sections of classes to offer, an especially valuable tool in times of scarce resources.– Mary Ellen Verdu

From birth, twins Nolan, Ryan destined for baseball
TULSA, Okla. — Glenpool's pitching McCutcheon twins almost had to be baseball players, given the first names their parents gave them.
Nolan and Ryan McCutcheon were born — in that order -— about two minutes apart on March 14, 1995.
Today, 18 years later, the 6-foot-3 seniors are dual standouts for the Warriors.
Their father, Steve McCutcheon, a former high school and junior college baseball player, had the idea of naming them after his idol growing up -— former pitching great and Texas Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan.
"We spent nine months and couldn't come up with anything suitable," Steve McCutcheon said. "And then I got to thinking at work one day. 'Nolan's a good first name, and Ryan's a good first name, and I like Nolan Ryan, so why not?'"
Their mother, Ann, also a former athlete who played a year of tennis at Oral Roberts University, her college alma mater, loved the idea. "I thought it was great," she said. "I looked up the names and both meant several good things. They aren't quite rhyming, but they do end in the same syllable. Others in the family thought it was cheesy, but everybody loves it now."
So do the twins, although they come in for ribbing at times for looking so much alike.
"We've been asked if we were brothers," Nolan McCutcheon said. "Some people really don't know, and we're like 'duh.'"
Nolan, a left-handed pitcher who has signed with the University of Arkansas, is 4-3 with a 1.81 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings. He's also batting .314, with one homer and 10 RBIs.
Ryan, a right-handed pitcher and third baseman, is mulling junior college offers. He's 2-1 with a 2.33 ERA and 27 strikeouts in 21 innings while batting .265.
Both dreamed of playing baseball at the next level.
"It's what they've wanted and worked for ever since they were little, playing competitive ball and going to summer camps," Ann McCutcheon said. "Everything's been geared toward giving them opportunities to be seen by the right people."
Both throw in the 88- to 91-mph range. Recruiters like Nolan's smooth delivery, and the fact that he's a lefty partially accounts for the slightly greater attention he receives than his brother. However, Ryan has had Division I interest from Baylor, Maryland and West Virginia.
Glenpool coach Brandon Earp told the Tulsa World that the twins are ultra-competitive.
"They're like brothers fighting in the backyard," he said. "If one gets a hit and the other doesn't, there's definite tension in the dugout. They're always comparing batting averages and ERAs. It's almost comical at times."
Ryan said the brothers are close. "Sure, we're competitive with each other because we both want to be the best. But I'm proud of the things he does."
The twins aren't into pranking others by pretending to be one another. But Ryan admitted he once used his brother's ID to get into the movies to see "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Earp said he couldn't tell them apart when they were younger.
"If I was talking to one, I'd have to throw him a ball and see which hand he used to throw it back to know which one he was," Earp said.
Besides throwing from opposite sides, the brothers have other differences owing to being so-called "mirror twins."
Identical twins are created when a single fertilized egg divides into two embryos, meaning both offspring will have identical DNA. According to research, about 10 million pairs exist worldwide. In about one fourth of those cases, the separate embryos develop reverse features.
The McCutcheons' crowns are on opposite sides of their heads, and their fingerprint patterns are reverse images.
But like other identical twins, there are eerie similarities in what happens to them.
"When they were younger, one might fall and scrape his chin and the other would do it the next day," Ann McCutcheon said.
"If one reached (an athletic) milestone, the other would soon pass him, and they would kind of flip-flop back and forth. One might be taller, and the next time you checked, the other would be. But they've always been very close in whatever they did."

For years, I've been writing in a cupboard under the stairs. It was a cosseted life, but if I got up too fast, I cracked my head on the stairs above, and the damp quarry tiles on the floor made my books a little mouldy.
So I chopped my bathroom in half and now I find myself typing in a proper room with a real desk and a large window on to the back. In idle moments, I stare upon my garden and, my, is it small. I'd be lying if I said I didn't dream of more space: room for goats, perhaps a small orchard, a little meadow and a bog. I can't move, but I can rearrange. It's one of the joys of a small garden: you can rip it up and start again.
I started this garden with mostly cheap, cheerful plants, a lot of divisions and cuttings. I used blue fillers to bulk out the design; perennial cornflowers (Centaurea montana), hardy geraniums such as G. pratense 'Mrs Kendall Clark' and G. wallichianum 'Buxton's Blue', and sea holly (Eryngium bourgatii and E. x oliverianum). These are all reliable in flower, good for insects and unmunched by slugs, but they make the garden too cool and sombre.
So I am being brave and replacing them with something more celebratory and vibrant: gardens are not supposed to be static pictures, but constantly evolving spaces.
I have chosen mostly annuals because they are cheap and offer quick impact. Hardy annuals, such as the California poppy Eschscholzia californica 'Orange King' and Tolpis barbata, a brilliant yellow hawkweed, plus half-hardy stuff such as Rudbeckia 'Marmalade', R. 'Prairie Sun', the brilliant exotic orange of lion's ear (Leonotis leonurus) and the Mexican sunflower, Tithonia rotundifolia 'Torch'. Perhaps I'll try the gaudy Cosmos sulphureus 'Bright Lights', too.
Sarah Raven, Higgledy Garden, B&T World Seeds and the unsurpassed Chiltern Seeds all sell unusual annuals. The half-hardy ones must be started from the end of February, under heat (aka on the windowsill), and planted out once all risk of frost has passed. The rest I will sow in mid- to late March. For around £20 including compost, I can make a huge difference.
Seeds are trickier than buying in plants, but I can ensure they won't be drenched in pesticides or grown in unsustainable peat compost. There will be slugs to battle, but there will also be triumphs. Plus, in these dark days, it allows me to indulge in the pretty delights of the seed catalogue where, for five minutes or so, my garden can be as big as I like.

Giving a subcutaneous injection is actually a pretty simple task. It may seem daunting, especially if you've never given an injection. But with time and practice, you will feel much more comfortable doing them. A subcutaneous injection delivers the medicine into the layer of fatty tissue directly below the skin. A small needle, usually 27g or 28g and ½ inch long, is required.

Selecting the proper site for the injection is key to your success and minimizing discomfort associated with the injection. You have a few choices. The most widely used and usually the preferred site is the lower abdomen, about an inch away from the belly button. Another popular site is the front of the thigh, about half way down and right in the middle. Finally, you can use the fleshy back of the upper arm as well. It does not matter which site you choose unless your doctor gives you specific instructions.

No matter which site you choose, make sure to rotate your sites. Don't inject into the same area with every injection. Don't inject into scar tissue or bruising on the skin. You can use ice before the injection to numb the skin if you are concerned about pain, but make sure to clean it with an alcohol wipe after applying the ice. Generally speaking, the injection will be less painful wherever you have a little more fatty tissue. However, in time you will find what works for you.

Get UK Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
At the time I was written off work for depression and when in the police station I was very scared and too embarrass to involve anyone else.
I have never in my life stolen anything and would have never gone into the shop and stolen the cover. As far as I am concerned I had just found it. I did not know that the item had been stolen I thought someone had dropped it.
I did sign a document accepting a caution but I would not have signed it if it had stated that I was being cautioned for theft.
From the point of my statement it states that I found the cover.
Yes I think I must have done, I do recall signing something.
Yes if possible or at least have it changed to theft by finding.
Thank you for the information. Today I did contact the DBS to have the information changed or removed and the DBS office said that they can not change or remove it and that I must contact my local police station and speak to the data protection department.

My Ride: '03 325i
Repeat Differential Failures
Been lurking for a while, but I am stumped, so here's a FP.
I have a '03 325i with about 93,000 miles. In August 2011 we were travelling out of state and driving up I-95 in CT when we heard a loud whirring noise, shortly followed by a clunk and lost all power to the wheels. Getting into the break-down lane was exciting to say the least.
AAA towed us to a local shop, and they diagnosed a total failure of the rear differential. It also managed to take out the rear brake calipers. We secured alternate transportation while the shop put in a used replacement.
That October, I take the car in for yearly PA inspection at my local shop. They notice the new differential is leaking fluid. I call the CT shop to get a part under warranty. That ordeal is a separate story, but the result is this March (2012) I had yet another replacement diff put in, and all seemed fine.
This weekend (October 2012), the car again broke down. Similar story to last August, but at least this time we're local. My shop confirmed this afternoon that the differential failed again.
The shop guy thinks it must be something about my vehicle that's destroying these diffs. The car doesn't see much driving besides weekend trips out of the city and quick jaunts to the store, and I'm a pretty defensive (read: boring) driver.
The only other contributing fact I can think of is I had a low-speed rear collision about two years ago (Summer 2010), and they had to replace the rear bumper and the lower trunk frame. I can see that maybe causing misalignment in the drive-shaft, but would that result in the diff going?
I'm probably going to have the repair done regardless ($300 for the part, ~$400 labor), since it doesn't have much trade-in value otherwise. But anyone have an opinion as to the underlying cause of these failures? Should we just give up and start shopping for a replacement? ($900 every 9 months is still cheaper than a car payment).

The Gender Pay Gap: Challenging the Rationalizations. Perceived Equity, Discrimination, and the Limits of Human Capital Models

A gender gap in earnings has proven both persistent and universal. This paper relies mainly on U.S. data, but a gap between women's and men's earnings exists in every country. There is a continuing debate as to the extent to which the gap reflects merely the inevitable and reasonably fair result of differing work patterns and behaviors by women and men or the impact of employment discrimination against women. The human capital approach, in which various explanatory variables are used to shrink the perceived size of the gap, is often used to argue that much of the gap is due, not to discrimination, but to differing investments in employment by women and men. However, neither "investments" nor "outcomes" can be assessed in gender-neutral ways and the model's underlying notion of rational choices made against the backdrop of a gender-neutral playing field is flawed. Discrimination appears to be entwined with gendered work patterns and behaviors; many of the human capital "explanatory" variables themselves require explanation. Understanding the gap requires recognition of the limitations of human capital models, and a willingness both to take a more sophisticated approach to such models, and to think beyond this approach.

" Brand: Layezee / Product Type: Single Mattress "
A single mattress from the Layezee brand and bought in Homebase for £120.
This mattress has a firm feel and I bought it for my daughter when we replaced her bed frame and realised that her mattress had become too soft to be comfortable. She has always slept better on firmer surfaces so it made sense to purchase a firmer mattress than you would usually think of when buying for a six year old.
The mattress is 190cm long and 90cm wide so will fit a standard size single bed, it has a depth of 20cm.
The mattress cover is a tight knit and has a soft and silky quilting, it feels very comfortable even when you haven't put a sheet on it but with a good quality 100% cotton sheet it is so comfortable that I wish I had this mattress instead of mine! When we bought it I was pregnant and one day dozed off on my daughters bed at a time when it wasn't made up with a sheet, I slept so soundly that some four hours later when my husband woke me I could feel my body was more rested than after a full nights sleep in my own bed.
This is a no turn mattress and it has kept its shape. The mattress has open coil springs which is important if you want your mattress to last as these springs will make sure you receive optimum support for as long as possible. My daughter at her age doesn't care what springs are inside her mattress but she said a few weeks ago that she likes this one because there's nothing digging in her back, my husband had noticed that some of the springs in her old mattress were very raised so that would account for the digging in she was feeling. You cannot feel a single spring in this Layezee mattress and the entire surface is soft and smooth.
The mattress has been treated with an anti dust mite treatment so that's useful for anyone who has allergies, my daughter doesn't suffer like that but it's still comforting to know that by choosing this mattress I am preventing dust mites from being in contact with my child while she's sleeping.

How you can donate sperm, eggs or embryos
In the UK, in order to donate you will need to contact a fertility clinic that is licensed by the HFEA to receive donations.
You can look up a clinic near you by using the HFEA's Find a clinic search. The search results will give you the contact details for each clinic and will let you know the services each clinic offers.
National Gamete Donation Trust
If you can't find a clinic in your area, contact the National Gamete Donation Trust on 0845 226 9193, or visit their website - they may be able to help you further.
The National Gamete Donation Trust, a government-funded charity to raise awareness of and seek ways to alleviate the national shortage of gamete (sperm, egg and embryo) donors, holds a list of all licensed centres in the UK which recruit egg and sperm donors.
Why should I donate through a licensed clinic?
All HFEA-licensed clinics must conform to strict medical, legal and ethical standards. This ensures that everyone involved in the donation is clear about their legal position and is protected by law.
Sperm, eggs and embryos donated through a clinic must be screened for certain medical conditions. Sperm and embryos will also be quarantined for six months. This helps ensure babies born from donated sperm, eggs or embryos are healthy and that there are no risks to the woman who receives them.
We suggest you discuss these tests with staff at the clinic.

"Enjoy the absurdity of our world. It's a lot less painful. Believe me, our world is a lot less painful than the real world"
Former fashion-designer Tom Ford took his first steps into film directing with A Single Man in 2009. It's a film that didn't initially catch my eye but when I finally caught up with it, it really impressed. In fact, I thought it a near masterpiece of style and composition. As a result, I've been very eager to see what Ford would do next and although his follow-up isn't quite as good as his debut, there's still much to recommend. Continue reading

Beck attacks Michelle Obama for trying to raise awareness of and combat childhood obesity
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
In his continued effort to attack anything related to the Obama administration, Glenn Beck ridiculed first lady Michelle Obama's initiative to combat the issues of childhood hunger and obesity. Seriously, despite the fact that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that the prevalence of childhood obesity is on the rise -- leading to greater incidence of cardiovascular disease, asthma, liver degeneration, diabetes, and psychosocial risks associated with social stigmatization -- Beck staked his position against the first lady's initiative to improve nutrition and exercise among children.
After complaining that too many children receive unearned trophies and drawing a connection from that to 20-year-old workers requesting vacation days, Beck turned his attention to Michelle Obama's "obesity campaign":
BECK: So now going all out to have government limit the food choices available at our kids' school, to make sure that grocery stores pop up in what they are calling -- and I'm not kidding you -- food deserts. There's no salad bars; it's a food desert. Then we are going to put the grocery stores instead of fast food businesses.
They'll limit what we can watch on TV, what ads we can run and how long we can watch. No doubt we'll start mandating certain kind of activities as part of this wonderful government campaign.
In reality, the Let's Move initiative aims to issue guidance for front-of-package nutritional labels, educate physicians on childhood obesity, and develop online tools to provide information about health and nutrition. In addition, grants will be available to construct grocery stores and bring farmers' markets to underserved communities -- known as food deserts.
Estimating that $150 billion is spent annually to treat obesity-related health issues, the administration is also calling for reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act -- which helps to provide lunch to 31 million students living at or near the poverty line every school day -- all while improving the nutritional standards for school meals.
Sound like the coming of fascist socialism to you? Here's Beck:
BECK: This is torn from the pages of the progressive playbook. You're too stupid. You need the government to fix your life, and they agree with you that government has no place in this business. But we're just going to help make things better.
Yes. They're coming and they are slowly but surely taking away your freedom under the guise of helping you.

Paired Rifles for Practice and Hunting
Now that weve touched on selecting paired rifle and cartridges, how do we make the best of the limited practice available in todays world?
A) Use one of the reticles that have graduated tick marks corresponding to bullet drop at specified ranges. Especially useful are those that also have 10 mph wind bars corresponding with the drops. The next most convenient is likely a mil-dot reticle. Other reticles will work too, but may not be as easy to use because they dont offer as many references or are overly complex for easy use. The choices are yours. The key is get one that you feel comfortable with for the kind of shooting you plan to do.
B) Use a laser rangefinder to help estimate Kentucky Windage and Tennessee Elevation. Yup, this might be seen as cheating by some, but most of us today dont get the trigger time to do everything instinctively.
C) Use aids for visualizing sight pictures at a variety of ranges and wind conditions. Easy to reach resources include the companion
. and
. on the ShootersNotes.com website. A variety of reticles, magnification powers, and targets are there for you to see how the sight picture changes with range. QUICKPIX also lets you see how wind strength will affect your sight-picture.
D) Shoot whenever possible preferably in the field and using typical hunting positions and ranges. Supplement the shooting with dry-fire practice, especially with the rifle with the longer bolt. Practice operating the action with the cheek welded to the stock. This will help keep the rifle on target and speed up any necessary follow-up shots. The whole point of this note is that you can get much of that needed experience using a rifle that has much less recoil, noise, and ammunition expense. Using that less powerful rifle for your long range shooting may give you a wider choice of places to shoot also.
E) Remember that shooting success is almost independent of bullet choice bullet placement is all-important. Think about the care exercised by hunters using muzzle-loaders, single-shot rifles and bows in getting good shot placement. These folks have added incentive since a quick follow up shot is all but impossible when the target jumps and runs.
F) Practice, practice, and more practice is absolutely necessary. Work the rifle position and shooting holds at home with an unloaded rifle. Work at understanding the trajectory of your rifle both visually and by the numbers. Be attentive to the wind drift and visualize the Kentucky windage. Get out and varmint shoot with that lighter rifle during the off season. Remember that the most competitive shooters will put more rounds downrange in a single month than most of the rest of us will expend in a lifetime of shooting. All that practice makes them good shots. So get out there with your easy to shoot rifle and practice in a variety of hunting conditions, ranges, and so on. Complement the practice with the light kicker by getting in at least a few rounds with your heavy rifle so that you have the utmost confidence that it sends the bullet to the same place.

Borrowed from this link.
A standard measurement for a wheel is given using several figures, for example: 8 x 18, 4 x 100, 35
This can be broken down as follows:
- 8 x 18 represents a wheel which is 8 inches wide and 18 inches in diameter.
- 4 x 100 represents the number of studs/bolts and the PCD in millimeters (explained later).
- 35 represents the Offset (sometimes referred to as the ET).
The number of bolts used to install a wheel varies from 3 to 8 studs depending on the vehicle make and model. The pitch is the diameter (mm) of the circle that intersects the stud centres. To fix a wheel correctly, the number of studs and the pitch should be the same on the vehicle and the wheel.
The following calculations can be used to work out the PCD:
6-stud - Length 'X' x 2
5-stud - Length 'X' x 1.7012
3-stud - Length 'X' x 1.154
Common Stud Patterns:
3 x 98 4 x 95.25 4 x 98
4 x 100 4 x 108 4 x 114.3
5 x 98 5 x 100 5 x 108
5 x 110 5 x 112 5 x 114.3
5 x 120 5 x 127 5 x 130
5 x 139.7 5 x 150 6 x 139.7
Offset is the measurement in millimeters from the wheel centre line to the wheel mounting face. More often than not, offsets are positive(+) where wheel styles tend to be flush or convex. Negative (-) offsets tend to have concave styling.
WARNING: Incorrect offset can seriously affect vehicle performance.
Fig. Rim Measurements
Positive Offset
Negative Offset
For European nut and bolt engagement approvals, 6 turns thread engagement is required for M12x1.5/M14x1.5 and 9 turns for M12x1.25
Example shown above:
Stud length = 22mm
Nut = M12x1.5
Bolt Hole Depth = 10.5mm (22 minus 11.5)
Thread Engagement = 7.6 turns (10.5/1.5)
The following points should be adhered to BEFORE fitting any wheel and tire:
Check with the wheel manufacturer that the intended wheel style has sufficient caliper clearances, the correct offset/PCD and accessories have been supplied for the intended vehicle. Wheel manufacturers will rarely credit if tires are fitted.
Read the maintenance and care procedure supplied by the wheel manufacturer to ensure the maximum life of the rims can be obtained.
Check the vehicle hubs for hub protrusion before mounting the tires on the wheels, e.g. location pins, temporary fixing screws and hub balance weights. In the event of this, check with wheel manufacturers for the correct wheel application.
Once the tires have been fitted, check for air leakage between the tire and rim flange and check the air valves. Quite often valves are supplied for the rims. These valves must be used in the fitting procedure.
Apply the correct tire pressure stated in the vehicle handbook or recommended by the tire manufacturer. Incorrect tire pressure will result in poor tire wear.
Ensure that the correct torque setting is applied. Over-tightening of the nuts/bolts can deform the wheel stud holes. Lack of torque will result in the wheel separating from the vehicle hub.
Note: There are several types of wheel securing nut/bolt seatings. 60-degree cone seating being the most common (radius seatings are applied by German vehicle manufacturers and flat seatings are often applied by Japanese manufacturers). A greater percentage of aftermarket wheel applications use the 60-degree type of seating. Note: mixing of seating is highly dangerous.
When upstepping it is important to retain the rolling diameter as specified by the manufacturer. The tolerances for the rolling diameter are governed by *ETRTO.
When increasing the wheel diameter, it is necessary to alter the aspect ratio to match the overall gearing within the tolerance of *ETRTO.
1) Tire width in millimeters
2) Tire aspect ratio (percentage of tire width)
3) R = Radial construction
4) Tire diameter (also known as applicable rim diameter)
5) Load index
6) Speed symbol
*ETRTO or E.T.R.T.O. is a European organization founded in October 1964 whose principal objectives are to further align of national standards and ultimately to achieve interchangeability of pneumatic tires, rims and valves in Europe as far as fitting and use are concerned; To establish common engineering dimensions, load/pressure characteristics and operational guidelines and to promote the free exchange of technical information appertaining to pneumatic tires, rims and valves.
