Distribution of Dissolved Pesticides and Other Water Quality Constituents in Small Streams, and their Relation to Land Use, in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon, 1996
By Chauncey W. Anderson, Tamara M. Wood, and Jennifer L. Morace
USGS Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4268, 87 pages, 12 figures, 19 tables, 3 appendices, 1 CD-ROM
Report availability
Water quality samples were collected at sites in 16 randomly selected agricultural and 4 urban subbasins as part of Phase III of the Willamette River Basin Water Quality Study in Oregon during 1996. Ninety-five samples were collected and analyzed for suspended sediment, conventional constituents (temperture, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, nutrients, biochemical oxygen demand, and bacteria) and a suite of 86 dissolved pesticides. The data were collected to characterize the distribution of dissolved pesticide concentrations in small streams (drainage areas 2.6-13 square miles) throughout the basin, to document exceedances of water quality standards and guidelines, and to identify the relative importance of several upstream land use categories (urban, agricultural, percent agricultural land, percent of land in grass seed crops, crop diversity) and seasonality in affecting these distributions.
A total of 36 pesticides (29 herbicides and 7 insecticides) was detected basinwide. The five most frequently detected compounds were the herbicides atrazine (99% of samples), desethylatrazine (93%), simazine (85%), metolachlor (85%), and diuron (73%). Fifteen compounds were detected in 12-35% of samples, and 16 compounds were detected in 1-9% of samples.
Water quality standards or criteria were exceeded more frequently for conventional constituents than for pesticides. State of Oregon water quality standards were exceeded at all but one site for the indicator bacteria E. coli, 3 sites for nitrate, 10 sites for water temperature, 4 sites for dissolved oxygen, and 1 site for pH. Pesticide concentrations, which were usually less than 1 part per billion, exceeded State of Oregon or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency aquatic life toxicity criteria only for chlorpyrifos, in three samples from one site; such criteria have been established for only two other detected pesticides. However, a large number of unusually high concentrations (1-90 parts per billion) were detected, indicating that pesticides in the runoff sampled in these small streams were more highly concentrated than in the larger streams sampled in previous studies. These pulses could have had short term toxicological impli cations for the affected streams; however, additional toxicological assessment of the detected pesticides was limited because of a lack of available information on the response of aquatic life to the observed pesticide concentrations.
Six pesticides, including atrazine, diuron, and metolachlor, had significantly higher (p<0.08 for metolachlor, p<0.05 for the other five) median concentrations at agricutural sites than at urban sites. Five other compounds--carbaryl, diazinon, dichlobenil, prometon, and tebuthiuron--had significantly higher (p<0.05) concentrations at the urban sites than at the agricultural sites. Atrazine, metolachlor, and diuron also had significantly higher median concentrations at south ern agricultural sites (dominated by grass seed crops) than northern agricultural sites. Other compounds that had higher median concentrations in the south included 2,4-D and metribuzin, which are both used on grass seed crops, and triclopyr, bromacil, and pronamide.
A cluster analysis of the data grouped sites according to their pesticide detections in a manner that was almost identical to a grouping made solely on the basis of their upstream land use patterns (urban, agricultural, crop diversity, percentage of basin in agricultural production). In this way inferences about pesticide associations with different land uses could be drawn, illustrating the strength of these broad land use categories in determining the types of pesticides that can be expected to occur. Among the associations observed were pesticides that occurred at a group of agricultural sites, but which have primarily noncropland uses such as vegetation control along rights-of-way. Also, the amount of forested land in a basin was negatively associated with pesticide occurrence, suggesting that riparian growth or runoff from forested lands helped reduce pesticide concentrations.
Estimates of pesticide application also were made for the 16 agricultural study basins. Concentrations of pesticides in streams were significantly (albeit weakly) correlated (p<0.05) with estimated use for only a few compounds that are applied to a wide variety of crop types. Because of the large acreages involved, several compounds that are applied to grass seed were better cor related with the fraction of upstream land use in agricultural production or in grass seed crops than with their respective estimated applications. Application estimates for some compounds, including atrazine and metolachlor, were probably low because of uses that are not indicated in current literature.
Significant correlations were also found among certain individual compound concentrations, and between these and concentrations of suspended sediment. Included in both groups were atrazine and metolachlor, suggesting that environmental factors that mobilize atrazine and metolachlor can mobilize other compounds, and that hydrologic conditions are as important as the specific amount and timing of application in determining the transport of many compounds to the streams. The suspended sediment concentration was not, however, significantly correlated with discharge, and concentrations of only one pesticide were correlated with discharge. Even though correlations between discharge and pesticide concentration were poor, the similar seasonal pattern in both variables is evidence that transport to the streams is related to discharge and consequently to the amount of runoff.
Median concentrations of atrazine, metolachlor, diuron, metribuzin, pronamide, and suspended sediment were significantly higher in the late fall than in the summer. Additionally, winter "baseline" sampling for both atrazine and metolachlor confirmed that median concentrations as high as those in the fall or spring were maintained well past any periods of initial flushing, suggesting that a steady supply of atrazine and metolachlor is retained in soils in the study basins. Two intensive immunoassay studies illustrated variations in pesticide concentration over storm hydrographs. During a large storm with localized flooding, atrazine concentration increased on the rising limb of the hydrograph, started to decrease just prior to peak stage (indicating dilution), and continued to decrease as the water level decreased. Metolachlor concentrations decreased throughout the storm by a factor of two from their concentrations prior to the storm.
The future prospects for successfully correlating the stream loads of certain pesticides with estimates of application rates may be good if current and locally specific rates of application to various crop types can be obtained. Alternatively, atrazine concentration appears to be at least a rough indicator for conditions that move several other compounds, and it was shown that it can be measured relatively cheaply and with good accuracy and precision, with enzyme immunoassays. However, the prevalence of atrazine in stream water throughout the basin precludes its use for prediction of occurrence or concentrations of specific compounds in the absence of other information.

One could argue that existing routing registries suffer from a stale data problem due to the fact that there is not an authoritative source of the data. If ARIN would operate a routing registry, they have the potential of solving the stale data problem. I wonder why the policy doesn't just say that ARIN will operate a routing registry and, for each allocated or assigned address block, collect the list of the ASes that the block owner permits to originate address prefixes within the address block. It would make for simpler wording and achieve much the same ends. It would not be duplication of effort any more than it is duplication of effort for ARIN to operate DNS servers containing in-addr.arpa delegations. After all, every ARIN member already operates a DNS server so why does ARIN duplicate the effort instead of publishing a BIND zone file on their website? --Michael Dillon

The Lenovo Vibe Shot was announced at the MWC in March 2015 and after a month, Lenovo is also ready with a lower variant of it known as Lenovo Z90-7. Well before we talk about the new variant, let's first talk about the Lenovo Vibe Shot itself.
The Lenovo Vibe Shot is a smartphone that looks deceptively like a point-and-shoot at first glance with lot of features aimed at more discerning mobile photographer.

I am Aushay, I am 26 years old, I think I am a pretty laid back, nice, caring person and I have the tendency to try and help people and be as honest as I can. I feel I am a loving person, I like to show affection and be close. Its just who I am. I also think that I'm kinda funny, I have my moments lol.
In my free time I like to read, watch movies/television shows, take walks (its always better with a companion), learning about the different sports ( I enjoy watching them), cooking, and just general hanging out. I love places like Adventure Landing, and would love to have a guy to do fun things with. I've found a new hobby! I have started to knit/loom, and have successfully made 3 scarves so far! I'm a pro now.
I feel that I am a pretty good person, but I am by no means perfect. I don't expect anyone on here to be either, just a good match for me. If I'm not the girl for you, I wish you good luck in finding the woman that fits you!
Lastly, my mantra: I will be someone's FIRST priority, I will NOT be someone's last choice!
Watching way too many tv shows at once.
Trying to find someone to date and see where it goes.
Movies: "Singin' in the Rain" "Major Payne," my two favorites
Shows: Scandal, Psych, Grey's Anatomy, Bones, Hannibal, The BlackList, Arrow, Luther, Sherlock, pretty much any murder/mystery, Ink Master
Music: as music goes, I like a lot of different types of music, gospel, rap, country, alternative, r&b, etc., but you will always find me listening to oldies, i just am in love with older music, it was just different back in the day...
My favorite artist is Stevie Wonder...what song did he have that wasnt a hit lol
Food: I love chicken, shrimp, and eggs the best!
2. companionship (platonic and romantic)
3. My Laptop
4. Showers lol
5. My Cellphone
6. Knowledge
I need someone in my life so I can be with them on Friday nights, that would be so much more fun.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Liked the small cottages
The staff was awesome. Their suggestion truly contributed to my great foliage trip in VT. The room was really nice and I will definitely recommend this inn to anyone!
The staff did not contribute to find any positive aspect for this place Very aggressive, rude and impolite staff, not respectful of guests
Very friendly and helpful staff and an excellent breakfast. Extremely comfortable bed in an unusually large, spotlessly clean room with a wonderful view. Both are exactly like the picture on their website! I'd be very happy to return. Noisy footsteps from the child in the room above. Is this the only motel in the U.S. without coffee maker/kettle in the room?
Nice location in the mountains with decent views. Breakfast was very good. They had a nice selection of movies to entertain our son since the pool was closed. Both the pool and restaurant were closed during our stay (pool due to rain and didn't realize that the restaturant would be closed mid week). The heater baseboard covering was loose and every time the bed moved it would rattle the heater.
Owner was very friendly and personal. He worked with us for a late check in. Beds were comfy. TV was crap, really grainy image with lines across the screen. Not a big deal tho since we spent most time outside. Bathroom door didn't close or lock.
Just great people who run this place, and, being relatively new owners (this is their first summer), they're around all the time and very generous, helping with my travel plans, extending breakfast a few minutes, offering coffee to take away, etc. Most importantly, though, this place just has a clean, great, retro vibe. None of the fancy, new off-gassing generic decor. Real wood dressers and desks, vintage photo prints, etc. But also with some newer rugs and colorful walls in common spaces. This place hasn't been "let go" -- quite the opposite. New owners seem to be restoring and putting lots of love in it, even new TVs. A great yard and view -- you can even BBQ there, or just lounge in the comfortable chairs on the covered loft. It's a wonderful place, and very affordable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. What's not to like? You know how they say, "When in Rome..."? Well, when in Vermont, stay at a place like this, rather than finding some big corporate chain hotel full of generic furniture, views of overlit parking lots, and employees who turnover every 2 months.
Cute motel in the Vermont woods! Stayed for one night in the budget room, small and older but perfect for the price, can't beat it! Would definitely come back to stay again if skiing in the area. The staff is very very friendly and accommodating!!
Super clean and good value
We booked the cottage, so the 3 of us had lots & lots of room No curtains on the kitchen window & the shower didn't look very clean (or maybe it was just water stains). It also appears that they're new owners & doing lots of renovations because there were all kinds of things outside & all around the property.
large room. nothing
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Super friendly and accommodating staff.
the location the first room they offered was directly over extensive roof work actively in progess. second room was so moldly smelling we could not stay in it. third was better.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
We booked one night and ended up extending for 2. The price was great! the room was large, the motel was as expected for it's category. we found the room and bathroom clean and had not concerns related to that. Staff was friendly and responsive. Location is just a few minutes drive to the restaurants in Manchester.
Beds were terrible. Decor and facilities were appallingly out of date. The breakfast buffet had a bag of white bread & cold cereal, a bowl of unappealing fruit, and little else to tempt you to stay. Sitting in a room last furnished in 1982 with green astroturf also did not appeal.
We were in the area to visit family, and it happened to be during the horse show, so prices at every other hotel/motel were hiked. This was a reasonable price and it turned out, comfortable accommodations. The rooms are dated, but our room was clean enough and pet-allergen free enough to accommodate my allergies. We requested a room where pets are not allowed. The beds were fine, the bath and room layout were excellent. We had a double vanity separate from the toilet/bath and curtained off from the sleeping area. The pool was closed while we were there. It was hot and muggy and would have been nice. There was torrential rain one night and the parking lot was flooded. The rooms never seem endangered and the lot was cleared of floodwater within a few hours, but it was dramatic at the time. I was also concerned that there was no dead-bolt on the door. It is rural Vermont, and they seem to take these things more casually. We felt very safe otherwise.

Hello Again,
Well, we have a few answers, but some of those have begged additional questions. Turns out our crew did the lake orienteerting section twice, completely paddling the circumference of the lake twice. Just can't imagine it was that much fun, but………….what the heck!! On the YouTube link from yesterday, there is a quick blurb from Tom Z, however it is in Czech (his native language by the way, and his wife is Swedish, so their kid is going to be quite mul-lingual!!). We had a friend pass it along for a translation – He said, "Hi, we just got through paddling. It was super 'interesting'. In fact, we did it twice. We went from third place to…I don't know, whatever." Rest in English… Yes, actually, they went from 3rd place to 7th/8th place and took a long nap in there somewhere too, as Kiviok mentioned in his quick hit on YouTube. Team Cordura/Osprey went from about 6 hours behind the leaders to well over a full day behind. 🙁
Now, our team has completed the looooong river paddle section and moved out on to the 64 mile trek. All through the night of paddling and in to the start of the trek, we seemed to be making up ground on the leaders, however it appears now that we have not moved again for many hours. Not sure if they are napping again, or trying to sort out Tom's injury. Here's hoping it is not too serious!
OrionHealth continues to pull away from the field, and it looks now like Merrell/Zanfel may have caught up to Salomon/Crested Butte, however S/CB has continually had Spot issues, so these may be playing out again. Bones and Nuun, whom we were very close to at the transition to the long trek have pulled away into solid 4th and 5th places. Oh well. I hope all our folks are fine!!!
Here are a couple of great pictures from the long river section:
Well, that's all for now. Keep your fingers crossed that everyone is OK and they will start moving again!!
Thanks again to all our supporters and sponsors. Everyone has been great!!
Keep smiling!

I had the incredible luxury of having all last week off to savor all of the holiday-ness. I spent a lot of time with family, the husband and I got to meet up with friends we rarely get to see, and, to my great pleasure, I spent a lot of time reading. Oh, and sleeping. Lots of time sleeping. I feel so lucky when I am able to take a week or so off at the end of the year to re-energize myself for the new year. I'm feeling like 2013 is going to be a good one for a lot of the people I care about. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone accomplishes. So, all that said. I've been kind of lazy, so I'm going to show you some of my favorite photos of the last week. I personally love seeing photos of people's holidays because they always look so cozy and nice.
What are you most looking forward to in the new year? Any grand plans or events on the horizon?
Happy new year to each of you!

Email me
Go to Home page
I was buried alive
At the age of five
Deep in the underground
Is where I could be found
In the public school system
An elementary prison
Our courses were on a collision
I didn't need their permission.
I was brewin up trouble
Burstin their bubble
Like Fred and Barney Rubble
At eight my face had stubble
I was maturing quickly
Told the teacher to lick me
She tried to kick me
I pulled out my dick, you see
That's when class was dismissed
She couldn't resist
My head was bigger than her fist
She got on her knees and kissed
I liked this homework
She looked like Bo Derek
The principal went berserk
Actin like a jerk
I said, "You can have sloppy seconds.
This won't take long, I reckon."
So I shoved my dick in
An hour later I was still stickin
She was screamin out loud
The school have formed a crowd
All the boys were proud
The girls had their heads bowed
Looking at my member
It was the third of September
Thanksgiving's not always in November
I could have fucked her 'til December
It was quite an assembly
Me, the school and Miss Dempsey
They were cheering the home team
When she started to scream
Like nails on a chalkboard
She would not be ignored
I knew I had scored
With my giant sword
The principal didn't get it
Would I live to regret it?
When she looked over her shoulder and said it,
"You've got your extra credit."

Libz Offer Mixed Response To Salvation Army's Tax Proposals
Tax Policy
Libz Offer Mixed Response To Salvation Army's Tax Proposals
Libertarianz Party leader Richard McGrath applauded the suggestion by Salvation Army spokesman Campbell Roberts that taxes for lower incomes be abolished.
"Our policy at the last election was to make the first $50,000 of income tax-free, thus easing the burden on both lower and middle income families."
However he disputes the suggestion from Major Roberts that taxes on the highest earning New Zealanders be increased. "Tax relief for low and middle income earners should be funded by reining in the out of control spending practiced by Labour- and National-led governments. It is pointless taxing high earners more when failed companies are still being bailed out via corporate welfare instead of being liquidated."
McGrath pointed to a perceived inconsistency in the Salvation Army's position on minimum wage laws.
"Their comments on raising pay rates at the bottom end by government decree are somewhat strange, coming from an outfit that uses unpaid volunteer labour, and enjoy charitable organisation status."

Patchy project coming along
Filed Under Fusible interfacing, Patched appliqué, Prepared edge | 9 Comments
I'm resting up from a week in Long Beach. The trip went well despite a dead battery on the way down. I handled it (I am woman, etc.) and after that everything went as planned, within normal operating parameters.
You may remember me posting about some random hunks of patchwork I had dug out of the UFO pile.
I had an idea! I thought of the fusible interfacing method for turned-edge appliqué! I felt this was a natural for making something appliqué with all those seams.
I marked the hearts on the smooth size of the interfacing and pinned in place over the right side of the patchwork.
I did a whole tutorial on this method over at the Show & Tell Center. Check out The Anatomy of a Lollipop for a refresher.
Shortened up the stitch length a bit and sewed all the way around each shape, on the drawn line.
Cut out the hearts, leaving a 1/8″ seam allowance. Clipped the notches.
Cut a slit in the interfacing and turned the hearts. A quick run along the seam with a craft stick and a poke at the tip with a stylus and that's it! They look like a stack of fluffy pancakes.
I know from making gobs and buckets of lollipops that these will smooth out and flatten when they're fused to their backgrounds.
I thought I was now done with those hunks of patchwork. However, as the project went along, I found myself pulling the bigger scraps back out of the trash. Will this never end!!!?
Now what am I going to do with the hearts? Hmmm…
Until next time,

Collectors Weekly recently published an in-depth interview with Linda Eaton, textiles curator at the Winterthur museum in Delaware.
The interview includes lots of information about the museum and about quilt history, and shows some beautiful examples of appliquéd quilts from the past. Linda explains what quilts from the 18th and 19th centuries tell us about the lives of the American women who made them.
Do you have old quilts? Collectors Weekly also wanted me to let you know that they've started a Quilt Show & Tell page for collectors to share pictures and stories of items in their collections.

A Dozen Roses
Filed Under Books, Faced appliqué, Prizes | 22 Comments
The height of summer seems like a great time to enjoy a book about rose quilts. A Dozen Roses by Jennifer Rounds and Catherine Comys offers a beautiful blooming set of twelve projects including bed quilts, wall quilts, pillows, and shams, using appliqué, piecing, knitting, and even velveteen! So many ways to bring a bouquet into your creative life.
I was particularly intrigued to read about how Jennifer embellished a purchased cotton matelassé coverlet with beautiful sprays of red roses. The method she used is prepared-edge faced appliqué, which she steps you through in detail, and which gives a bit of dimension to the appliqué pieces.
Both the coverlet and the method were new ideas to me so of course I filed them away in my appliqué bag of tricks forthwith! Besides faced appliqué, there's information on split leaves and inset leaves, folded bias strips, and folded-petal roses.
Martingale & Company / That Patchwork Place has provided a copy to give away, so if you'd like to bring a little rose culture into your quilting, leave a comment by 7:00 p.m. California time on Sunday, July 11. U.S. and Canada only, please (unless you'll pay the shipping). If you're subscribed by email, click over to the blog itself and scroll to the bottom of the post to leave a comment and enter the drawing.
Until next time,

Footsteps appliqué

I always check the All About Appliqué Flickr Group to see what other appliqué fans are adding there. Last week I saw that some entries in a different language… I was intrigued! I used Google Translate and plugged in the url, guessing that it was Portuguese, and I was right! I was treated to some delightful entries from Divânia. One of them looked like back-basting.
Divânia's Flickr entry, when translated, came out "Footsteps appliqué." How delightful! I guess the basting stitches do look like footsteps. "Go slowly dropping the dots of the outline, while applying dots invisible to the application in its place," the caption reads. Exactly!
Be sure to check in on the Flickr group yourself to see and translate all of Divânia's lovely entries. While you're there you'll also see a couple of wonderful projects that another Brazilian appliqué enthusiast, Mariana, made using designs from my Easy Appliqué Blocks.
Três vivas para appliqué!

Zimmerman defense lawyer not new to spotlight
The defense lawyer taking on the most high-profile criminal case in the USA has a low-key demeanor that stands in stark contrast to the national furor surrounding the Trayvon Martin murder case.
And this isn't the first time he has gotten exposure from a murder drawing the country's attention. Mark O'Mara is known to central Florida residents because he appeared often on Orlando television station WKMG as a legal analyst during the trial of Casey Anthony, the Florida mother acquitted in July in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee.
A tall, reed-like man with a long face and red hair, O'Mara, who is representing George Zimmerman on a second-degree murder charge in the shooting death of Trayvon, sounded relaxed Thursday as he spoke to news reporters and later with CNN.

"He's got a low-key, kind of soft-spoken demeanor and presence, which can be extremely effective in the courtroom," said Wayne Wooten, an assistant state attorney in Orlando, who tried another high-profile case against O'Mara in 2004. "No one should mistake that for a lack of understanding what is happening around him in the courtroom."
O'Mara presents information to a jury "in a soft-spoken manner (and can) almost get people leaning forward, hanging on the words," Wooten said. "He's very intelligent, very thorough and in my mind very strategic in how he evaluates a case."
O'Mara is a former prosecutor with 28 years of experience as a lawyer, according to his law firm's website.
O'Mara said the Zimmerman family found him after consulting with other area lawyers. He explained why he took the case in a matter of fact tone: "It's what I do. I've been doing it a long time. I think I'm pretty good at it," O'Mara said. "Mr. Zimmerman needs a very good and focused defense and we're going to build him one."

The Bayhawks won their third championship in four years, defeating the Charlotte Hounds 10-9 at PPL Park in Chester, Pa. The road to Championship Weekend was more tumultuous than last year's cruise-controlled joyride — the games were tighter and more nerve-wracking all season. The championship game was an exercise in control for both teams.
The first quarter was a slow, plodding affair. Both teams took the entire quarter to feel their way around each other, throwing jabs and feints at one another like prizefighters that are both too scared to throw haymakers. Charlotte's Ryan Young broke the deadlock on his customary run from X, taking a wider berth than usual and sticking a shot right on top of the 5-and-5 just after the first minute of play.
Charlotte never got to take advantage of any other match-ups in this game except for Young. Matt Danowski was essentially zeroed out by Mike Evans all game; the Hounds' leading scorer's only points came on a last-second heave at the end of the game that ricocheted into the net to make the scoreline more respectable.
Four of the five goals scored in the first quarter were against the regular run of play. Young's second goal was a carbon copy of his first goal roughly 12 minutes later. Casey Powell scored his lone goal of the game on an iso behind the net as well, but John Grant Jr.'s goal to cap the quarter was as random as it was spectacular, depositing the ball right as time expired after two seemingly failed pick-and-roll attempts with Ben Rubeor. Neither team was able to score early in the shot clock, but Chesapeake never wanted to do that anyway.
Coming into the game, the Bayhawks scratched Michael Simon and Steven Brooks — two players that have helped them start and finish transition respectively — in order to dress long pole Nicky Polanco and shortstick d-mid Dom Sebastiani. It was always going to be a slow roll for the Bayhawks; that was just an indicator.
To their credit the Hounds dominated face-offs - a key facet to their win over Denver the day prior — but unlike the Denver game they didn't have many goals to show for their trouble. Geoff Snider went 15-20 at the X, good for 75%, but the Bayhawks shut off the adjacents after the groundball, and Snider ended up driving to cage or down the alley every time he got the ball. And it worked — despite his success at the X, Snider didn't manage to record a single point.
The slow first half was punctuated with flashy, loud and timely finishes. Chesapeake took its time to set up its offense and personnel, on every shift — unless that possession was at the end of a quarter. Grant his third goal of the game at the end of the first half with another spectacular finish in front of the net. Chesapeake really handled Charlotte in the second quarter defensively as well; the Hounds didn't score a single goal in that stanza. This was due in large part to Charlotte taking long shots at the top of the 2-point line and settling for mid range looks against Chesapeake's d-mids. Jeff Reynolds and Matt Abbott both had phenomenal games — each one of them stuffed a short break by hustling back on defense and rendering the initial slide moot.
The second half saw Ryan Young score two more goals, one of which was assisted to the inside from Jake Tripucka, just a minute apart from one another. Young was Charlotte's lone bright spot in a game marred by the relative absence of their young stars. In the Denver game the day before, Jake Tripucka, Matt White and Mike Sawyer combined for nine goals and three assists; in this game the trio amassed just two goals and one assist. Charlotte had real trouble sharing the ball on the top of the box and kept trying to get separation against Chesapeake's shortsticks and longpoles. No one went at Barney Ehrmann the entire game. No one really dodged on Polanco either besides Young. The Hounds midfielders were content to wait their turn on the outside, but their turn never came. Nearly half of Charlotte's shots weren't even on cage — 21 of their 43 shots went wide or high. Conversely, the Bayhawks put the majority of their shots on cage –—19 of their 32 attempts came into contact with either the goalie or the back of the net.
In the second half, the Hounds mounted a brief comeback thanks, again, to Ryan Young and a renewed commitment to driving to cage right out of the box. This is the technique that worked wonders for the team against Denver, but that driving middie's shot didn't fall. What it did do, was set up the drive from X that led to Young's goals. What was Charlotte doing the rest of the time? Settling for long bombs that either missed or went right to Turner's stick.
Still, the game was close because the Bayhawks used a series of fortuitous bounces late in the third to make a final run of their own to put the game out of reach. It was capped by Matt Mackrides' goal on the doorstep, fed from Michael Kimmel after a dropped pass had him pursue a lower angle. The cut from Mackrides was precise and whip-quick and was the difference making play — a goal from nothing.
The fourth quarter was a series of nervous exchanges form both teams. Several ticky-tacky fouls resulted in man-up goals. An unsportsmanlike conduct from Matt Danowski led to an easy finish for Drew Westervelt, but three penalties on the Bayhawks — an interference call on Jeff Reynolds a delay of game from Adam Rand and a final unsportsmanlike conduct foul on Jesse Bernhardt all resulted in goals for the Hounds. Still, the Bayhawks were able to weather the storm thanks to what would turn out to be the game-winning goal from Drew Westervelt assisted by none other than Mackrides. Mackrides has been one of the most underrated players in the league all season. His ability to dodge with speed and ferocity has opened up a number of lanes for his teammates and his passing acumen is much more honed. All told the Penn State attackman-turned-midfielder will finish the season with 33 points.
The Bayhawks won the championship by dictating the pace of the game. They took the Hounds' best asset — young and fresh legs — and murdered it by taking the air out of the ball and playing settled 6-on-6 offense. If Chesapeake didn't get the shot they wanted, they moved the ball around until the shot clock expired. This team didn't run the entire race, they walked to the winners podium and Charlotte — ever the plucky sprinter that tried to run a marathon — never caught up.

I did too for the longest time and somewhere on here i read the plate ribs that is where short ribs are cut from. I was at Kroger and asked them if they cut their own short ribs, when I got a yes, I asked if I could buy some uncut. He went the back and brought out a 2 pack this the 2nd rack from that, I bought them both and just froze one. Any good grocery store butcher should have them.Scottborasjr said:Dear lord that looks amazing. I have so much trouble finding beef ribs with any substantial meat on them in my part of the country I rarely make the effort. This will make me search further.

Volunteers empower voters at Denver's Annual PrideFest as part of National Day of Action
Campaign staff, Summer Organizers and Volunteers hit downtown Denver this past Saturday to register voters at the Denver PrideFest, an annual event celebrating LGBT culture. Volunteers were stationed at a booth inside the festival and stationed themselves outside the festival, ensuring that those attending PrideFest got registered to vote or updated their voter registration with their current address. Volunteers were empowering citizens from all walks of life, regardless of race, class, sexual orientation or political preferences.
"Saturday was an awesome start as we build our presence in the area," said Summer Organizer Kerri E. "It was also a test of our ability to be flexible. Our volunteers kept the energy level high and proved how enthusiastic Coloradans are."
Summer Organizers and Volunteers undergo training and build relationships before heading out to register voters at this weekend's PrideFest.
The PrideFest event was only one of many such voter registration drives held in Colorado this weekend as part of our National Day of Action, a countrywide effort to empower citizens to make sure their voices are heard with a vote in our democratic political process. Volunteers working the Denver PrideFest started as early as 9 a.m., and by the end of the day we had collected hundreds of voter registration forms and "I'm In" cards with people's commitment to help re-elect President Obama in 2012.

|Pope, Vargas and Biggerstaff named to All-District team
|From Staff Reports
March 9, 2006 - Two Sulphur Springs seniors and a junior made an impression on the District 12-4A coaches with nominations on the All-District team released this week.
Senior Jay Pope was the top SSHS honoree being named to the Second Team, while teammates Jose Vargas and Drew Biggerstaff were named Honorable Mention All-District for their play during a season in which the Wildcats went 1-9 in district under new head coach Jeff Carroll.
"Those three guys all provided great leadership for us and really worked hard for us all year long," Carroll said. "It's an honor to them and their character to accomplish something like that in a district where you had a team going to regional tournament. These guys deserved their awards and recognition because of the hard work and effort they put into it and the results they achieved on the court."

Pope scored in double figures in four of the Wildcats' 10 district games and had 15 points in his first 12-4A game against Paris. He also had four rebounds, one steal and four assists in the contest.
Vargas had his best game of the district season against North Lamar as he finished with 11 points and six rebounds in a 52-45 overtime win in Paris.
The Paris Wildcats, who placed five players and their head coach on the list after making it to the Regional tournament received superlative honors for Courtney Jackson who was named MVP, while teammate Thurman Taylor was named Defensive Player of the Year and coach Brock Blassingame was named the Coach of the Year.

The world's most revered DJ mix series returns with an absolute stunner! This time around, in Global Underground's continued effort to bring the world's most exciting electronic music and party cities to you at home, Danny Howells took a trip with the GU crew to Miami. On a thrilling Halloween night, thousands of fans packed into the world's most popular nightclub, downtown Miami's Club Space to hear Mr. Howells drop a legendary main floor set of Disco classics, Detroit techno and thumping up-front House before exiting to the club's terrace to play a jaw-dropping sunrise set full of atmospheric experimental music reminiscent of disc one of his last Global Underground release, last year's acclaimed 24:7. That night became the inspiration for Danny's first release for our signature series, Global Underground #027 Miami. The album is a sublime mix of genres featurning the likes of Bent, Silicone Soul, Ashtrax, Throbbing Gristle and Danny's favourite record of all time, the breathtaking disco stunt "Hills of Katmandu" by Tantra.
A ten-year veteran DJ, with an unearthly ability to connect with his audience, Danny has consistently ranked high on every official and unofficial best DJ list there is. First making his appearance on the Global Underground imprint with his 2000 mix, Nubreed #2, Danny has gone on to gain notoriety as a ground breaking producer and remixer.

With the long standing tradition of Global Underground to tap the absolute crème talent to helm the GU series, Miami is sure to emerge as the essential dance music compilation of 2005 and Danny Howells will continue to rise as a star of today and tomorrow's electronic music hierarchy.

It hardly comes as a surprise (the fashion world has been awaiting this news since he announced his 45th anniversary gala plans last spring), but today the news has finally arrived: Valentino is retiring. British Vogue reports that the official word from his camp will come this afternoon. Editors and critics have been all but pushing him out the door, speculating who is replacement will be–everyone from Zac Posen to the newly Valentino-Group-financed Proenza Schouler have been bandied about–and now the announcement is imminent. Stay tuned this afternoon...

Their height is about the same, as is/was what they did on the court. Ransom, while at Cal, never had a season like Randle's senior year, but I think he could have, if he were surrounded by the right players.
Ransom, a three sport star at Berkeley High, was one of the better prep athletes to come out of the Bay Area.

Really nice update!
Space below the "Collection Owner" module looks empty IMO . Maybe that empty space can be used for links (collection image with link) to more collections from same author?
The 'Search collection' part should be below the collection image, not the user card.
EDIT : Or even better – on the top-right side of the collection items, where the 'Sort by' is but on the right side. Anyway, it doesn't look intuitive sitting next to the user card when there are so many better places for the search function.
Well done DzincStudio !

Volcanoes avoid sweep, drop Hawks 11-3
By Dustin Daniel / Salem-Keizer Volcanoes | July 3, 2013 9:33 PM ET
The Volcanoes avoided the sweep with an 11-3 blowout of the Boise Hawks in front of 4,607 at Volcanoes Stadium in the final day of the 6th Annual Patriotic Tribute.
Hawks starter Loiger Padron (0-2) surrendered seven runs on six hits to the Volcanoes in the second inning as the Volcanoes took the lead for good early. Sam Eberle led things off with a solo homerun to left and was followed up by consecutive walks. John Polonius then hit a two-RBI double to make the score 3-0. After three more hits and a walk, Shilo McCall finished off the inning's marathon of scoring with a two-RBI single.
The Volcanoes would continue the offensive outpouring, scoring in four consecutive innings.
The Hawks would score their only runs of the game in the third as David Bote hit a sacrifice fly to right to score Carlos Penalver. Justin Marra had a two-RBI double later in the inning to make it 7-3.
Starter Reyes Moronta (2-0) went five innings for the Volcanoes, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk and striking out five. Lorenzo Mendoza relieved Moronta, but only threw one inning despite pitching well. Mendoza allowed no runs and struck out one.
In the third Tyler Hollick picked up his second RBI on a double to right and scored on a Brandon Bednar single. Hollick was 4-for-5 on the night with two RBIs and two runs scored.
Eberle hit his second homerun of the night in the fourth, another solo shot to left. He was 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
The scoring would end in the fifth when Randy Ortiz scored on a Jeremy Sy grounder into a fielder's choice.
The home team's bullpen was outstanding, pitching four innings and allowing only two hits and striking out four. The Hawks' relievers gave up four runs on seven hits.
The Volcanoes set a season high in runs scored in a game on Wednesday, the previous high being 10 on June 28th back at Hillsboro Ballpark.
The Volcanoes now travel to Everett to take on the Aquasox in a five-game series starting Thursday. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m.
About the Volcanoes: The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes are a minor league affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. Home games are played at Volcanoes Stadium in Keizer from mid-June through early-September. Tickets start at just $7. For more information call the Volcanoes at (503) 390-2225.

Individual Investor Trading and Stock Returns
- Abstract

This paper investigates the dynamic relation between net individual investor trading and short‐horizon returns for a large cross‐section of NYSE stocks. The evidence indicates that individuals tend to buy stocks following declines in the previous month and sell following price increases. We document positive excess returns in the month following intense buying by individuals and negative excess returns after individuals sell, which we show is distinct from the previously shown past return or volume effects. The patterns we document are consistent with the notion that risk‐averse individuals provide liquidity to meet institutional demand for immediacy.

Web of Science Dates of Coverage Extended
Web of Science fans will be pleased to learn that we were recently able to extend our coverage back in time significantly.
Although the database is called Web of Science, it is actually composed of three databases. Until recently, searching was limited to references from 1980 to the present.
Coverage for the three databases now is:
Science Citation Index Expanded: 1970-present
Social Science Citation Index Expanded: 1970-present
Arts & Humanities Citation Index: 1975-present **
**1975 is as far back in time as this database is available from the producer.

The Aggies are still recruiting their incoming class for 2014, but Utah State will have some early help arriving in January.
The football team signed three players Wednesday, adding defensive lineman Siua Taufa, linebacker Chase Christiansen and defensive lineman Ian Togiai. All three will join the program on January 15 to get an early start on their Aggie careers.
Here's a little bit about each:
Siua Taufa, 6-foot-1, 265 lbs., DL, Diablo Valley College • After returning from an LDS Church mission to Nicaragua, the California native decided he wanted to focus on his football career. He enrolled at Diablo Valley, hoping to have some options after putting in two seasons.
To his surprise, and to everyone else's, he managed to cut that in half.
Taufa signed with Utah State after visiting the Logan last weekend and receiving interest from such schools as UNLV, Fresno State and Iowa State. He said he developed a good relationship with the coaching staff (recruited by Frank Maile and Kendrick Shaver), enjoyed the campus and felt positive about how he could develop in the program. But ultimately, he said, it was Utah State's gradual progression over the years that was the sell.
"I think the biggest thing thing for me was they were getting better and better every year," Taufa said. "I wanted to be a part of it."
Taufa's coach, Mike Darr, thinks he could be the sensation at Utah State that he was at Diablo Valley. The coaching staff at the small college wasn't expecting the numbers he'd put up on the field with 11.5 sacks and 62 tackles, but they also came to value his leadership and maturity in the locker room.
"We were all surprised at just what an impact he had," Darr said. "That maturity really showed in the way he prepared for every game, the way he prepared in the weight room. Great teammate, great leader. Utah State got a good one."
Taufa may have a bit of positional flexibility, but he'll likely begin working at defensive end. He's shorter than the protypical lineman - Darr mentioned that was one reason why Cal didn't quite offer him - but explosive off the snap. He'll have three years of playing eligibility left when he arrives in Logan.
You can check out his Hudl tape here.
Chase Christiansen, 6-foot-2, 215 lbs., LB, Stansbury High • He had wanted to enroll early for a while, but it was only before his senior year that Christiansen truly buckled down. He upped his coursework, and got on track to graduate early.
He'll be in Logan in January, ready to get on his first goal: Gain weight.
"Yeah, you know, I'm a little bit lankier than I thought I was gonna be," he said. "I need to pack on more weight. Eat a lot of food."
Of course, his forthcoming business took a backseat to a bit of celebration on Wednesday. Christiansen has been committed for a long time, and never waivered in his decision. He took an official visit last weekend with Clint Christiansen, his father and coach, and it was all gravy.
"My parents are really excited about it," Chase said. "They got to be with me through the whole process, and it's fun finally getting here."
Christiansen was limited during his senior season by an ankle injury, but he got to play in his last game and said he's feeling fine these days. Utah State will herd him with the linebackers and decide which spot they want him to play at later.
Ian Togiai, 6-foot-2, 230 lbs, OLB, Hunter High • The former Wolverine has been keeping it simple since graduating from high school in the spring: Go to the gym. Lift weights.
He was 210 pounds after graduation, but he's 230 now. He's been biding his time, waiting for the day to come. On Wednesday, it arrived.
"It finally came," he said. "It's pretty exciting for everybody."
Togiai said he'll join the outside linebacker group when he comes up to Logan, and he's filled out to meet the physical needs of the position. He's been eager to get back to football since his graduation, and said he was always locked in to Utah State.
"They're a program on the rise," he said. "I was pretty happy to get the opportunity to be a part of that."
The three early signees are all the players Utah State are expecting to add in this period. The Aggies had been hoping to pick up letters of intent from JuCo prospects Ronnie Davis and Dejon Brown, but both switched their commitments over the weekend to Kansas and Western Kentucky, respectively.

39th U.S. President 1977-1981
PRIMARY HOME: Woodland Drive in Plains GA - a brick ranch style with green trim and full-length windows surrounded by woodland
BOYHOOD HOME: Archery GA - a modest clapboard cottage
The first U.S. president to be born in a hospital, James Earl Carter Jr. grew up on a cotton and peanut farm three miles west of Plains, Georgia. After graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy, Jimmy served on submarine duty and studied nuclear physics.
In 1953 back in Plains, he and wife Rosalyn built a thriving peanut business and constructed a new home on Woodlawn Drive that remains their home today. Carter served as state senator and governor, then captured the 1976 presidential election with his status as a Washington outsider.
Yet Carter's lack of knowledge about national politics led to dwindling effectiveness as president. He did initiate many programs, cut taxes, and brokered the Camp David Accords. But galloping inflation and the Iran hostage crisis handed Jimmy Carter a crushing defeat in 1980. As an elder statesman, however, the ex-president continues to be heartily involved with American issues.

Oxford, MS
College: Ole Miss Rebels, Vaught-Hemingway Stadium at Hollingsworth Field
University of Mississippi fans congregate at The Grove, a 10-acre plot dedicated solely to tailgating on game days. "It's a place everyone should experience before they die," says law-school alum Joshua Kyle. Mississippi tailgaters consider themselves a different breed of reveler, and they're right. Fans serve fried chicken on silver platters, and it's not uncommon to see students tailgating in their Sunday best: dresses and high heels, suits and ties. "It's like something out of a Southern novel," says Kyle, "and when I tell my New York City friends about it, they don't believe me."

Glomar response
In United States law, the term Glomar response, also known as Glomarization or Glomar denial,[1] refers to a "neither confirm nor deny" (NCND) response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. There are two types of instances in which a Glomarization has been used. The first is in a national security context, where to deny a request on security grounds would provide information that the documents or programs which the requester is seeking indeed exist. Glomarization is also used in the case of privacy, in which a response as to whether or not a person is or is not mentioned in law enforcement files may have a stigmatizing connotation.[1]
Lower courts have thus far ruled the Glomar response to have potential merit if the secretive nature of the material truly requires it, and only if the agency provides "as much information as possible" to justify its claim. Otherwise, the principles established in FOIA may outweigh claims to secrecy.
Origin of the term[edit]
The USNS Hughes Glomar Explorer was a large salvage vessel built by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for its covert "Project Azorian"—an attempted salvaging of a sunken Soviet submarine. In February 1975, aware of the pending publication of a story in the Los Angeles Times, the CIA sought to stop the story's publication. Journalist Harriet Ann Phillippi requested that the CIA provide disclosure of both the Glomar project and its attempts to censor the story, to which the CIA chose to "neither confirm nor deny" both the project's existence and its attempts to keep the story unpublished. This claim stood, and Phillippi's FOIA request was rejected, though when the Ford administration was replaced by the Carter administration in 1977 after the 1976 presidential election, the government position on the particular case was softened and both of Phillippi's claims were confirmed.[2][3]
The "Glomar response" precedent still stood, and has since had bearing in FOIA cases such as in the 2004 lawsuit American Civil Liberties Union v. Department of Defense, wherein Federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein rejected the Department of Defense and CIA's use of the Glomar response in refusing to release documents and photos depicting abuse at Abu Ghraib prison.
"Glomar" is the syllabic abbreviation of Global Marine, the company commissioned by the CIA to build the Glomar Explorer.
The original text of the Glomar response was written by Walt Logan (pseudonym), who was at that time an Associate General Counsel at the CIA. So as not to divulge to the Soviet Union either what the CIA knew or did not know, the response read:
"We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of the information requested but, hypothetically, if such data were to exist, the subject matter would be classified, and could not be disclosed."[4][not in citation given]

Georgetown College men's tennis team took a tough loss to NCAA Division II Davis & Elkins. While the score appears rough, though, it was four tiebreaker matches that decided it all. The Senators walked away from the first of what could be many as the Tigers look to join DII ranks in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference with the 8-1 win.
"We take all four of the matches that went to tiebreakers and our men win 5-4, it is how crazy tennis can be sometimes," said GC coach Jessica Cunningham.
DE took a solid 3-0 lead after doubles, but needed a 9-8 win at the number one seed. Gustavo Echeverria and Ryne Least have been playing lights out for Georgetown the past several weeks, but could not break Charles Brunel and Simon Meriau down the stretch.
Echeverria did start the singles off with a straight set win over Vincent Hamon, 6-3, 7-5, which kept hopes alive for the Orange & Black. Davis & Elkins took seeds two and three in straight sets, but had to battle four, five and six to come out on top.
Jacob Loveland rallied from a set down to blank Thomas Judd in the second set, but Judd recovered and took the match 6-3, 0-6, 1-0.
Ryan Simms had a similar experience against William Hill. The freshman lost 6-3, but bounced back with a 6-4 win to level the match. Hill took the tiebreaker and the match 6-3, 4-6, 1-0.
Josh Clay cruised in his first set 6-2, but lost the next 7-5 and the tiebreaker for the loss to Giulherme Hubsch.
Georgetown men return to action 3 pm Wednesday hosting Bluefield College.

The world,
perhaps as usual, is in a state of crisis. Yet unlike previous crises, which were local in
nature, the fate of the globe itself is now at stake, not only humanity but all life on
Earth is threatened. And in this extremity no nation has yet arisen as a defender of
the Truth or spokesperson for the spiritual values of humanity.
The communist nations, after decades of floundering in confusion and corruption, have
recently faded with the collapse of their economic structures through perpetual
mismanagement. Only the ghost or shadow of communism lingers, while whatever idealism it
might have had has been traded in for personal gain. The capitalistic nations strive to maintain their wealth and affluence by
exploiting the planet, selfishly consuming the future resources of humanity for their
present transient enjoyment. Between new technological wonders and a growing
disillusionment with material gains, they move at an uneasy pace.

Author Interview
by Mark Cantrell on Nov.22, 2009, under INTERVIEWS
CITIZEN Zero author Mark Cantrell has featured on the 'Woulds & Shoulds' Editing & Design website in its Self Publishing Success series of interviews with indie authors and publishers.
Published earlier this month, Mark was interviewed about his hard-hitting science fiction thriller, but also his wider thoughts on life as a novelist.
He talks about books, writing, the complexities of being an author in this day and age, and how the hard work really begins long after a novel is finished.

Welcome To 'Broken Britain'
After austerity came prosperity and stability, but it was bought at a terrible price...
In a surveillance society blind where it matters most, a deadly conspiracy is ready to strike...
A dictatorial Prime Minister, confident of his grip on power, is about to discover the limits of his strength...
A security operative turned terrorist is all set to bring down the man he once helped to steal power...
Welcome to Britain, a nation bitterly divided between rich and poor, as it teeters on the edge of chaos...
And unemployed David Mills is caught in the middle, torn from the woman he loves and thrown in to a terrible struggle to survive…
He's a 'zero', one of the destitute millions, a nobody, but he's also the one man who might salvage some kind of freedom out of the ruins of the future...
No wonder the Prime Minister wants him dead...
A dark warning of the dangers of abandoning social justice, Citizen Zero creates a powerful amalgam of science fiction, political thriller and social satire to present a dystopian world born out of today's austerity.
The result is a compelling and powerful future shocker rooted firmly in the social landscape of today. The Boys From The Black Stuff meet The Matrix and joins forces with V For Vendetta to create a disturbing vision of tomorrow's Britain.
Are you ready for the future?
About The Author
Mark Cantrell
A coffee-guzzling journalist turned novelist and occasional poet, Mark Cantrell lives and works by the weave of his words.
By day, he works for a media company in Manchester, England, where he writes about the social housing industry. It provides plenty of fuel to keep the old social conscience simmering.
The rest of the time, Mark chases the literary dream.
He is the author of two novels, a host of short stories, and a multitude of articles and thought-provoking essays. Over the years, his writings have appeared in a number of small press 'zines, websites, and multi-author collections.
His fictional work tends to fall into the realms of science fiction and fantasy, with a little macabre horror thrown in for good measure, but he's not averse to touching upon social and political themes too.
That's certainly true of Mark's first novel, the dystopian science fiction thriller, Citizen Zero (Indie release, 2010), but it's also there, twisted into the DNA, of his second, the macabre urban fantasy, Silas Morlock (Inspired Quill, 2013).
Born and bred in Bradford, Mark now lives in Stoke-on-Trent, though he remains proud of his Yorkshire heritage.

Bemidji HS wrestling: Jacks claim two of three matches
The Bemidji High School wrestlers captured fifth place at Saturday's Blaine Invitational, dropping their opener to Rosemount 51-12 but stopping Spring Lake Park 63-11 and Irondale 39-30.
Saturday's victories gave the Lumberjacks a 14-9 dual-meet record. Tuesday they have a chance to collect two more as they head to Fosston to face BCLBI and Bagley-Fosston.
Brian Maas, Craig Maas and Colton Doty earned Bemidji's lone victories against Rosemount. Brian Maas defeated his opponent 7-5 while Craig Maas won 7-2 and Doty collected a pin.
Spring Lake Park didn't provide much opposition as it employed only five wrestlers and forfeited at the other weights.
Earning wins for BHS were Kade Johnson who pinned his foe at 145, Dustin Greenman who won 7-6 at 160 and Brenden Fredrickson who won by a pin at 189.
Bemidji rallied in the late going to upend Irondale as the Lumberjacks captured the final six matches. Nick Maggert's pin victory at 215 broke a 30-30 deadlock and Alex Johnson iced the team triumph with a 3-1 decision at heavyweight.
Earlier in the match Jake Crosby, Kade Johnbson and Dustin Greenman won with pins, Molitor and Fredrickson posted decision wins and Ryle Masterson was awarded a forfeit win.
In Saturday's junior varsity event, Michael Fogarty won the 112-pound division as did Gary Molash at 125 and Josh Dreyer at 152. Claiming seconds were Robert Treuer at 119 and Alex O'Neill at 125.
