Discover The Fountain Of Youth In Water
Is Water Really The Ancient Secret Of The Fountain Of Youth?
What woman would not want to discover the fountain of youth? We all raise our hand to that question, If you were told there is a product for you that gave you beautiful glowing skin, diminished those wrinkles and fine lines, and started working immediately, no doubt you would be interested.
What if you were also told this product could be used safely for all ages, taken over 8 times a day, helped your body perform better overall, and that to boot, it was free! You would probably find that a little hard to believe.
The truth is there is such a product and it is free...It is water
Well, there really is a way for you to discover the fountain of youth and it is nature's free gift to your skin. A sad fact is we overlook and under use this natural beautifier almost daily. Beautiful glowing skin works from the inside out. The biggest gift you can give your complexion, for the most part comes free of charge.
Water is your renewable source of energy that washes out toxins and waste, two key contributors to a tired and shallow complexion. An added bonus of water, as it is working wonders for your skin, it is also a highly effective appetite suppressant.
Dehydration gives you false hunger feelings so it is very common to misread what is thirst and what is hunger. Your beautifully created body consists of over 600 trillion cells. Each one of those essential cells is made up of seventy percent water.
Knowing that nature never does anything without a reason, water is there for a purpose, and that purpose is to keep us healthy Your body is made to function on water.
The quantity and quality of your water intake is an undisputed fact that both are major contributors to how you feel and to the functioning of your control center, the brain. Almost every function your body performs is dependent on water. It is critical that you daily replenish and supply your body with fresh water.
Your Internal Cleansing
Toxins and Dead cells need to be thoroughly and regularly flushed from your body or they will accumulate and cause disease.
Place a bad piece of meat in your refrigerator and it will contaminate all the other food.
This is exactly the process that will happen if your body fails to cleanse itself of, toxins, and debris, it becomes contaminated, and disease sets in.
That is not pretty nor does it make for a healthy complexion that glows.
Many acne sufferers would do well to increase their water intake. Your body is totally dependant on you to provide it with the water it needs to flush debris out and perform to it"s utmost.
By water, this does not mean alcohol, soft drinks, tea, coffee, or milks.
Yes, they are all liquids, but the only one that counts here is clear pure pristine water.
Even soda water, flavored carbonated and non-carbonated waters do not count as part of your required daily intake.
Even to this day technology and science have not equaled a better substance than clean water for internal cleansing.
Your Immune System
The strengths of your immune system are found in your blood where protection from foreign pathogens, (agents that causes disease, especially living microorganisms such as bacterium or fungi) takes place.
You have antibodies within your blood whose job is seeking and destroying these pathogens attached to organisms within your body.
If you allow your blood, which is ninety percent water, to be vulnerable to contamination by toxins, your natural antibodies become sluggish and unable to function properly. Just by providing your body with the best possible water available, you enhance its ability to heal and repair itself.
Medicine can cure many ailments, but by making water, your new best accessory you are far head in being preventative. Your skin will love you for it and reward you with a clear healthy complexion that you simply cannot buy.
Enjoy water and discover the fountain of youth

Canberra, Australia (UPI) Dec 6, 2012
Australia retired from active service the last two Lockheed C-130H Hercules 34 years after its introduction into the air force.
The two H models were in a fly-past ceremony at Richmond Air Base in Sydney.
The air force has been replacing the four-engine C-130H with the newer larger J variant.
Australia purchased 12 of the H-type aircraft in 1978 with Allison T56-A-15 engines to replace 12 earlier variant C-130A aircraft which had entered service in 1958.
The air force is phasing into service 12 C-130J aircraft, as well as six new C-17 Globemaster IIIs and 10 C-27J Spartans, the Defense Ministry said.
The C-130H Hercules has supported Australia's military ground operations in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. It also provided peacetime and humanitarian service, including the evacuation of Australians from Cambodia in 1997 and at times of disaster and humanitarian assistance in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and throughout the South Pacific.
The aircraft ferried Australian tourists injured in the 2002 bombings in Bali, Indonesia -- 88 Australians were among the 202 people who died in the nightclub explosions -- to Australia.
Four C-130Hs will be transferred to the Indonesian air force to support humanitarian assistance. Two C-130Hs will be kept by Australia's air force -- one aircraft going to the Air Force Museum at Point Cook Air Base and the other kept at Richmond Air Base for training purposes.
The Defense Department said it is investigating disposal options for the remaining aircraft.
The C-130 entered service with the United States in 1956, followed by Australia in 1958 and then other countries. In 2007, the C-130 joined the English Electric Canberra, Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, Tupolev Tu-95 and Boeing KC-135 to be in continuous active service for 50 years with the original customer.
The last major tactical exercise for Australia's C-130H was Exercise Pitch Black in August.
Both Hercules types, operated by 37 Squadron, were at Darwin Air Base for the exercise.
Detachment commander for the Hercules at Pitch Black, Squadron Leader Andrew Johnson, said he was proud have worked on one of the C-130H's final exercises.
"The C-130H has a long history of attending exercises like Pitch Black, both overseas and within Australia, as well as deploying on operations and humanitarian relief," Johnson said.
"Having been associated with the C-130H for so long I'm sad to see them going."
The exercise was an opportunity to transfer knowledge between the two Hercules crews.
"Pitch Black airspace is a high-threat environment, something which the C-130H crews are well-versed at flying in, and the C-130J crews are gradually being exposed to," Johnson said.
During the exercise, the crews attempted to evade enemy fighters and ground threats while they delivered vehicles and personnel waiting on a runway at Delamere Air Weapons Range Facility in the Outback.
"This was also an opportunity for our C-130H aircrew to capitalize on their experience with large formations of aircraft in a coalition environment before they move on to other aircraft types."

Philadelphia Bans Feeding The Homeless [VIDEO]
Everyone already knows if you give a homeless person a cookie, than they'll just ask you for a glass of milk.
According to My Fox in Philadelphia, the mayor of Philadelphia is putting a ban on "public outdoor feeding of the homeless."
I can't say don't completely agree with this bill. Feeding the hungry is one thing and it's a very nice gesture. I think what the mayor is trying to accomplish is a prevention of gathering homeless people in public places that he would much rather see used as a tourist attraction. Having hundreds of stinky homeless gather in a public park isn't the most appealing thing. You want people to visit your city and spend money? Then you treat the homeless like you would your stinky fat sister with the giant mole on her face, you hid them in the closet while company is over.

Incoco - Dry Nail Applique
What exactly is Incoco's revolution in nail polish you wonder? It's the world's first non-liquid nail polish.
This is how the nail polish strips look like:
The application is really easy. You can watch the demo HERE.
''Incoco nail polish strips are revolutionizing the industry. Each glossy strip provides a base coat, color coat and top coat. You can remove our strips with regular nail polish remover.''
I didn't use any top coat with these Incoco strips. I just followed the application instructions and that was it. I had some troubles finding the right size for my nails, but I think it went pretty well for the first time, don't you think?
Incoco, Oscar Night
Today I tried Incoco for the second time. I have to say it went really easy. The next time I'll be applying my strips, I'll do it in no time. =)
Incoco, Penny Rose
Each package of Incoco Dry Nail Applique includes:
* 16 double-ended color strips
* mini file
* cuticle stick
* reseal tape
* polish removal cloth
* instruction booklet
What do I think of it: I have to say I was really interested when I first heard about this new dry nail polish. I think it was Angie who told me about it (thanks, Angie!). I didn't expect to much from it, but I was excited to try it anyway. As I already said, the application was a bit tricky the first time: finding the right size for my nails, placing the strip correctly on my nail, removing the excess... But the manicure looked nice anyway. Today I tried it for the second time and the application was a breeze. =) Incoco ''promises'' this manicure will last up to 14 days. Well, that's not exactly true. At least not in my case. And although they say this strips are 3 in 1 (base, color and top coat), I still use a regular fast dry top coat with it. The strips are quite gentle and it can happen that you scrape it off - especially in the first couple of hours while wearing it. The removal is as easy as they say.
+ no smell
+ no drying time
+ application (need no clean-up)
- finding the right size/shape for your nails
- application (can be tricky)
- price
Conclusion: I like the idea, but I think it's still a diamond in the rough. It would be *wonderful* if they made designs like Minx has. Or foils. I don't mean the foil finish, but those foils I wore a couple of times, remember. I'd definitely use this system, but the price is too high for me. For special occasions? Sure. For every day? Not really.
Visit Incoco website for more information.
Thanks for looking!

I've bought one set when they were on sale (believe they're d/c now).. still haven't tried them yet because I've got a few silk patches- I'm eager to try them out but sadly aren't cheap here (~7€, I think they're half the price in the us)ReplyDelete
Hmm that's different! Very interesting!ReplyDelete
These are awesome. I get better and faster each time I apply these.ReplyDelete
I've used them for nail art as well. I think they are a great idea for travel since you can just throw them in your carry on or purse.ReplyDelete

Pretty cool idea. I'm cack-handed though so I'd probably wreck it.ReplyDelete
Cool. I tried something like this from Avon a while back. It was fun to try out.ReplyDelete
The idea is really interesting, but the price is not for me.ReplyDelete
They seem great for a last minute manicure, for a party you forgot or something like that. I can't wait till they sell them in my country so i can try them :).ReplyDelete

Transport minister Madan Mitra will meet representatives of six bus operator unions on Wednesday apparently to listen to their demand for a fare hike.
The decision comes a day after the operators of buses and minibuses threatened to go on a 72-hour strike beginning June 25 to press for a fare hike.
The minister has invited us for talks. We will meet him because the industry is on the brink of closure. Unless the government agrees to a fare revision, more than 10,000 buses would disappear from the roads, said Tapan Bandyopadhayay of the Joint Council of Bus Syndicate. If the government keeps dragging its feet on the issue, we will go ahead with the strike.
The unions that have threatened the strike include the Bengal Bus Syndicate, a pro-Trinamul organisation.
Sources in the transport department said Mitra decided to meet the operators representatives following a message from the chief minister that the transport lobby should be heard out before any attempt is made to desist them from going on strike.
In November 2012, a year after Mamata Banerjee had taken over the reins, the state government decided to hike bus fares by Re 1 in the face of persistent demands from private operators. Since then the price of diesel has gone up by Rs 11.77 a litre but the Trinamul government has not allowed any further hike.
If the operators go ahead with the strike, around 7,000 private buses and 1,100 minibuses would go off the city roads. Across the state, the figure would be around 42,000.
Since the last hike in November 2012, many owners have withdrawn their vehicles after finding it difficult to pay their EMIs. Bus operators on as many as 21 routes said the fleet strength on each route has dwindled from 12-15 to five-seven.
The result: long queues at bus stands. The chief minister had on May 26 said she had noticed people waiting in numbers across bus stops and asked transport minister Mitra to ensure there were more buses on the roads. The minister could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.

Many applications have database components, and these components evolve in the same environment as your code and other development artifacts. This article explores some of the issues around applying version management to database development in an agile environment. The article raises more questions than it answers, and we hope that it starts a dialogue about this important, yet often neglected topic.
We are often asked how to apply version management to databases. Developers are often at a loss when it comes to this problem for reasons that are technological and cultural. Also databases present a variety of problems related to version management, and one is often tempted to solve the more visible problems while overlooking simpler problems whose solution can provide much benefit. We'll discuss this in more detail below, but the next couple of paragraphs introduce the ideas.
Many of the technological issues are somewhat obvious. Source code is often managed at the module or file level; database changes are thought about at the logical entity level. There is a vast assortment of tools that can help us to detect changes and versions for text files; these tools don't seem to provide much benefit in the database realm. While there are tools that claim to help you manage versions of databases, it seems that they don't solve the problem for many due to cost, function, or ease of use, leaving many teams with no solution. It is important to avoid the temptation to ignore the problem because you don't have "the right tool." Your team will still waste time (and hence, money) working around the issues caused by the lack of any database version management process. You may be able to address your more critical problems by using approaches similar to what you are using to version manage source code.
The cultural differences revolve around the fact that databases are often "managed" by a group of people who are different that the development group, or who have a different set of skills. While logical database modeling is similar to, say, object modeling techniques, there are differences. Also, "database people" often have a "production mindset" that is different than developers; while organizations are getting accustomed to allocating resources for developers to manage their source code in private workspaces, applying that model to databases often meets resistance.
Often two domains are more similar that they appear at first glance. Since most of the people reading this article are familiar with version management principles for source code, there are many techniques that we use every day that can help us with databases. Since databases are closely related to the source code for an application, there are many benefits to starting with a unified approach and then looking for the differences. In this article we will talk about how to apply some of the same principles and patterns that you use for source code management to this other, slightly more complicated, problem. We will also provide you with some pointers to more information about agile database modeling.
This is a domain where we don't claim to have all of the answers. What we hope to do is to provide a basis for discussion, whether among yourselves, in the CM Crossroads Forums, or on the SCM Patterns list. Through this process we hope that we can guide you to an approach that is both simple and effective.
What's Different Technology and Culture?
Changes to databases are different than changes to code in a number of ways:
- Databases come with state; code changes only affect state when persistence is involved. If we change the database schema, we will consider tracking:
- o What changed in the schema, what columns were added, deleted, renamed. etc.
- o How to migrate the schema for an existing database from the old version to the new.
- o How to migrate the data from the old database to the new.
- Databases versioning is more complicated to manage. For code, we have many

In-conference defense: 0.93 points per possession (2nd)
Good things come to those who wait, or at least that's what Manhattan is hoping for in 2013-14. Last season, Steve Masiello thought he was going to have a loaded roster. Then, poof! A few key pieces were lost and a difficult nonconference schedule sent the season off the rails. Now everything appears to be back in place for the Jaspers to challenge for their first NCAA tournament berth since 2004, when Bobby Gonzalez roamed the sideline.

Propane leak sparks evacuations, no fires
December 8, 2012
A propane leak at a Grass Valley supplier's station prompted evacuations amid concerns
of combustion Thursday morning.
Shortly before 8 a.m., a caller on scene reported an explosion, according to dispatch logs provided by the Grass Valley Police Department.
That report proved to be inaccurate, said Mark Buttron, a battalion chief with Grass Valley Fire Department.
Units arrived to find
no fire or explosion on the 13000 block of Grass Valley Avenue. Responders included four engines and two battalion chiefs.
Approximately 25 gallons of liquid LPG turned to vapor following a transfer failure from supply truck to storage tanks. Internal safety systems operated as designed and stopped the flow of LPG.
Approximately 20 individuals in surrounding businesses were evacuated for a short time while firefighters monitored the atmosphere, ventilated structures and confirmed a safe environment, Buttron said.
No injuries were reported.

text: Case | HBS Case Collection | April 2012 (Revised August 2013) General Motors Technical Center India – Powertrain Engineering Willy Shih, William Jurist, Brian McIntosh and Helen Wang Prabjot Nanua was proud of the growing capabilities of the General Motors Technical Center India Powertrain Engineering group that he oversaw. Since 2003, engineers there had expanded the center's capabilities, developing a reputation within GM for completing high-quality design and analysis projects for other Technical Centers at a substantially lower cost. In areas such as tolerance stacking analysis, GMTCI-Powertrain was now the only location in GM worldwide that performed this type of work. Nanua thought about the next stage of development for the center. Should they "go deep" and focus on more areas of technical competency where the center had developed a competitive advantage? GMTCI could become the center of expertise for a narrower set of methods and capabilities like they had done in tolerance stacking. Or should they "go broad" and continue to lobby headquarters for more complex assignments that might ultimately lead to program ownership for an entire vehicle? Each scenario had different implications for how GMTCI fit within the network of Technical Centers and corporate GM. If they did the former, they might be faced with the perception that GMTCI was limited to back-office analysis for GM's products. But when Nanua put on his headquarters "hat," he wondered if that shouldn't also be the corporation's priority for them.

Paul Schwendinger, Program Manager at Honeywell (Golden Valley, MN), recently won the Stratasys 2013 3D Printer Sweep stakes. Paul won a Mojo 3D Print Pack and a $4,000 cash prize. He first used the machine and its software to create the Stratasys demo parts: a gear and 6-inch "Mojo Men" for his three sons to paint.
For his next project, Paul will use the printer pack to create Lego-like surface-bonding blocks and molds for his benchtop injection machine. The building blocks can then be used to build a model of an actual home; specifically, the squared parts of a foundation.
"I'll make a 'positive' [part] using this machine, and get it nice and clean and smooth," said this year's winner. "From that epoxy mold, I'll be able to plastic-mold my own parts. Then I can make as many as I want using a benchtop molder."

Obstructive Cardiac Lesions
This section deals primarily with ventricular outflow tract lesions. Congenital mitral and tricuspid valve stenoses are relatively rare in children, thus are not discussed here.
Outflow tract obstruction leads to an increase in the pressure proximal to the lesion and secondary myocardial hypertrophy. Turbulent flow across the obstruction produces an ejection systolic murmur. Myocardial hypertrophy leads to increased oxygen consumption with decreased exercise tolerance and possible myocardial ischemia and fibrosis.
Ventricular dilatation is not a usual response to obstruction, and if present suggests ventricular failure.
Children with mild or moderate obstructive lesions usually have few symptoms. Severe obstructive may lead to early CHF symptoms and are often ductus dependent (the patient often requires a patent ductus arteriosus to bypass the obstruction).

TELLING her children she had cancer was one of the hardest things Tamsen Minchin has ever had to do. But the mother-of-three from Wimborne survived, and now has a new appreciation of life.
Tamsen – who lives with her sons Gillen, ten, and Hallin, eight, daughter, Skye, six, as well as her step- daughter Farrah, 20, - was offered annual screening after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago.
In July last year she was called back after a mammogram showed an abnormality.
Further tests confirmed she had breast cancer, which came as a huge shock as she had no lumps or other symptoms.
Her doctors decided on a course of chemotherapy to shrink the tumour, before surgery to remove her right breast last December.
Last month Tamsen opted to have her other breast removed and she is currently undergoing reconstruction surgery which is due to be completed early next year.
Tamsen said: "I didn't want to live with the fear of getting cancer in my other breast or to have my children see me being so ill again. I was determined cancer was not going to beat me and I stayed positive."
Now the 44-year-old is sharing her experience as part of Cancer Research UK's Every Moment Counts campaign.
The campaign focuses on special moments in the lives of cancer survivors highlighting the preciousness of time and the need to fund vital research in order to create more moments for people, like Tamsen. Tamsen's special moment was on a beach last summer, surfing in wetsuits with her children, brother and her sister.
"As I caught a wave I turned to my right and realised – on the same wave, surfing next to me, was my brother and wonderful sister who has been free from breast cancer for the last three years."
Cancer survivors are invited to upload photographs and a short description of their own precious moments at cruk.org/moments.

The cab it's amazing!! everything it's awesome there....Teresa is very kind, very fast response for any question, highly recommendable!!!!
Our family had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at this cabin! It was comfortable, clean, secluded and ralaxing! It was nice sitting on the front deck looking out at the lake during the quiet mornings. I would agree with previous reviews in that you should make sure you buy your groceries before getting to the cabin as the cabin is pretty secluded and we did not see much for grocery stores in the Hamlet of Butler. We purchased our groceries in Elizabethton before heading to the cabin. If you are interested in renting this cabin, we would highly reccommend it!
Beautiful and cozy cabin surrounded by woods with a partial lake view! Loft has floor space for at least 4 full air mattresses in addition to the beds. Hot tub and porches were great! Dock/pier was destroyed by storm just before we booked so lake was only accessible at marinas or swimming areas. The lake is beautiful and the owner was very pleasant and easy to work with. Lots of space under garage apartment to hang Enos/hammocks!!!
Beautiful cabin with great lake view. Very clean and cozy. Really enjoyed our stay here. Secluded setting on top of a hill although the road on the way in is a little scary. Wouldnt want to stay there in the winter. The road on the hill to the cabin is nicely paved. No cell service. Was nice to disconnect for the week. Enjoyed the hot tub. Plenty of towels and linens provided. Theresa, the owner was great to deal with. Answered all questions promptly.
It's quiet; it's private; it's secluded. This rustic log cabin is perched on the side of a mountain overlooking beautiful Watauga Lake in Johnson County, Tennessee.
Johnson County is located in the northeastern corner of Tennessee, just across the state line from Boone, NC .

Standards and samples are added to the wells, and any OSMR / IL-31RB present binds to the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and a horseradish peroxidase conjugated mouse anti-OSMR / IL-31RB monoclonal antibody is then added, producing an antibody-antigen-antibody "sandwich". The wells are again washed and TMB substrate solution is loaded, which produces color in proportion to the amount of OSMR / IL-31RB present in the sample.

Oncostatin-M specific receptor subunit beta also known as the oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) and Interleukin-31 receptor subunit beta (IL-31RB), is one of the receptor proteins for oncostatin M. OSMR is a member of the type I cytokine receptor family. IL-31RB/OSMR heterodimerizes with interleukin 6 signal transducer to form the type II oncostatin M receptor and with interleukin 31 receptor A to form the interleukin 31 receptor, and thus transduces oncostatin M and interleukin 31 induced signaling events. Mutations in IL-31RB/OSMR have been associated with familial primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Defects in IL-31RB/OSMR are the cause of amyloidosis primary localized cutaneous type 1 (PLCA1), also known as familial lichen amyloidosis or familial cutaneous lichen amyloidosis. PLCA1 is a hereditary primary amyloidosis characterized by localized cutaneous amyloid deposition. This condition usually presents with itching (especially on the lower legs) and visible changes of skin hyperpigmentation and thickening (lichenification) that may be exacerbated by chronic scratching and rubbing. The amyloid deposits probably reflect a combination of degenerate keratin filaments, serum amyloid P component, and deposition of immunoglobulins.

After hiccups, USAT Nationals lands in Kansas City
Febuary 4, 2005, Colorado Springs, Colorado (slowtwitch news service)
Following months of rumors and false alarms, the date and place of the 2005 USA Triathlon National Age Group Championship is fixed. The 1.5k/40k/10k triathlon will take place in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 13.
The race was all but set in Rochester in late June. But the Upstate New York community pulled out of the running, and USAT began a frantic search for a replacement venue. A variety of cities were rumored as suitors, with Chattanooga, Tennessee and Raleigh, North Carolina among them. At one point several weeks ago a rumor had Charlotte, N.C., as the almost certain site. During a hastily-called meeting this past Monday USAT's board of directors okayed the Kansas City bid. Sources have interim executive director and director of Lubbock's popular Buffalo Springs Triathlon, Mike Greer, as the man who struck the deal with Mark Livesay of Ultramax Events.
This years national championship will be owned by USA Triathlon, produced by Livesay, and supported by the Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation. The event will take place at Smithville Lake amid what USAT styles as "rolling hills and grasslands." The race site is located about 10 miles from the Kansas City International Airport (MCI) and 17 miles from downtown Kansas City.
This race will be the second qualifier for the 2005 International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Age Group Championship on Oct. 8-9 in Honolulu, Hawaii. There will be 10 slots on Team USA available per age group, rolling down to 18th if people in the top 10 do not accept their slots. Race registration will open soon at www.usatriathlon.org.
According to sources at USA Triathlon, Nationals at Kansas City is a one-year affair, a departure from the two-year deals struck with venues over much of the past decade. USA Triathlon is reportedly still interested in pursuing the idea of a permanent Nationals venue for 2006 and thereafter.
Ex race director pleads guilty to fraud
January 3, 2005, Madison, Wisconsin (www.slowtwitch.com)
The former director of a popular Madison-based Wisconsin Multisport Series, pleaded no contest, according to the Wisconsin State Journal, to violating state securities laws.
Mackenzie's woes were chronicled in a Slowtwitch feature article in 2001. Since that time Mackenzie has faced mounting legal pressure. According to the Journal's report, Mackenzie can be sentenced to probation, or jail time not exceeding six months. The report goes on to detail the timing and other considerations regarding MacKenzie's plea agreement.
USAT acting executive director Yount resigns
July 7, 2004, Colorado Springs, Colorado (www.slowtwitch.com)
On the same day results were announced in the USAT special board of directors election, 16-year USAT veteran Tim Yount resigned his post. Yount had been deputy executive director for all but the first five years of USAT's existence.
Yount was hired right out of college by then USAT executive director Mark Sisson, now the secretary general of the International Triathlon Union, triathlon's world governing body. Yount reportedly has accepted another sports governance related position in Colorado.
USAT special election results are in
July 7, 2004, Colorado Springs, Colorado (www.slowtwitch.com)
The new election ordered by the USOC's Blue Ribbon Panel has been held and the results are in. Replacing Diane Travis (who did not run) in the East region is Rob Kasper. Former USAT president Valerie Ellsworth-Gattis was defeated by former USAT executive director Steve Locke, and Slowtwitch publisher Dan Empfield won in the West, replacing Jim Girand.
Jack Weiss won his race in the Central Division. He was the only board member who retained a seat in the election.
All other eight seats remain as they were. As a result of the board shake-up, USAT has no executive council, there is currently no president, treasurer, or secretary. The board must be a functioning institution no later than the 12th of July according to the 17-page decision handed down by the USOC's Blue Ribbon Panel.
The vote tallies are below.

Blue Ribbon Panel chastens USAT's board, sets new elections
May 17, 2004, Colorado Springs, Colorado (www.slowtwitch.com)
The Blue Ribbon Panel set up by the US Olympic Committee to adjudicate USA Triathlon's election dispute has rendered its decision:
The Respondents, current board members Jim Girand, Valerie Ellsworth-Gattis (USAT president), and Diane Travis, were cleared of the most serious charges, though the Panel appeared to stop just this side of that assessment:
In ordering a new election, the Panel set forth election rules to supplant those in USAT's bylaws and its "Rules of Engagement." Candidates must submit petitions with signatures of 30 annual members by May 28, written ballots must be sent to the membership by June 14, and members have two weeks to vote for their candidates. Election results shall be announced by July 7, and by Juy 12, 2004, the new board shall be seated.
The petition was also sent via email to USAT's board members, those having filed suit to force a new board of directors election, the USOC, and the attorney's for all sides.
Steve Locke resigns as USAT executive director
Larsen's retirement begs a few questions, all of which have been asked by Slowtwitch via email, and which will presumably be answered in due course by the amiable, affable, gracious, though not easily reachable, Larsen. To wit:

First off, some good news for you University of Washington fans: undrafted free agent wide receiver and ex-Husky Jermaine Kearse was activated off the physically unable to play list today, allowing him to participate in his first Seahawks practice. I haven't seen any mention of how well he did out there, but last I checked getting on to the field is a step up from standing on the sideline.
Two names remain on Seattle's PUP list, T James Carpenter and CB Walter Thurmond, but neither of them is expected to return anytime soon. Both have been slow to recover from knee injuries suffered last season.
Four other players were held out of practice with various ailments: CB Ron Parker, TE Anthony McCoy, MLB Matt McCoy, and TE/LB/DE/who-the-hell-knows Jameson Konz.
* * *
Matt Flynn got the majority of the snaps at QB today, followed by Tarvaris Jackson and Russell Wilson, but all three struggled against the defense today, especially in red zone drills. Flynn looked decent, but according to Eric Williams his lack of arm strength was a problem in the red zone where he was unable to quickly sling the ball through some tight windows.
Danny Kelly of Field Gulls, who was also on hand for this practice, reports that Wilson looked to have the best day of the three. Height notwithstanding, Wilson is the most athletic specimen of the three, and his mobility and ability to improvise on the run were on full display today.
* * *
The quarterbacks' struggles may not be entirely their fault, as the wide receiving corps had an off day. Golden Tate and Ricardo Lockette both had some bad drops, with Lockette compounding his (a sure-fire TD if he'd been able to hold on) by yanking off his helmet and slamming it to the turf. Here's hoping that temper tantrum was an anomaly and not the first of many to come.
Brock Huard also expressed some concerns about the receivers in his Brock and Salk wrap-up video today, namely that they aren't pushing the defense like they should. He mentioned some possible explanations, namely that the best receiver on the team, Sidney Rice, is still not full-go in practices and his absence is hurting the rest of the group, and it's also possible that the WRs are only doing poorly because the defensive secondary is just that good. Whatever the reason, receiver is going to be a cause for concern until they prove otherwise.
That being said, Phil Bates and Kris Durham had the best performances of the group today. That's great news for Durham, who up until now has looked more like a roster cut in the making than the dependable, big-bodied possession receiver he was drafted to be. Bates, on the other hand, has been getting almost nothing but glowing reviews. He's a natural route-runner with soft hands who, in Kelly's words, is "[a]lways balanced, can bounce off contact, explosive and jerky."
* * *
Elsewhere on the offense, Robert Turbin is still drawing plenty of applause for his hard running. On one play, according to Danny O'Neil, Turbin knocked over Red Bryant. And for extra style points, Turbin was spinning around at the time of the collision. The guy is proving to have some serious pop in his pads, and I can't wait to see what he can do when he's pitted against another team's defense instead of his own teammates.
Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell is doing some interesting things with two tight end sets. On many plays, he flexed one or both TEs out wide, or lined them up in the backfield as H-Backs. Kelly reports that TEs Sean McGrath and Cooper Helfet, both longshots to make the roster, were involved in several such plays. Meanwhile, Kellen Winslow, Jr. reminded everyone why he was a first round pick by making plays all over the field.
* * *
As per usual, the defense spent the afternoon kicking ass and taking names. Brandon Browner had a great practice, mugging wideouts at the line, deflecting passes, and generally making a Pro Bowl-sized nuisance of himself.
CB Byron Maxwell, who has been rehabbing an ankle injury that limited his playing time last season, is starting to return to form. He's doing well as a gunner on special teams and he's been solid in coverage. If he keeps this up, Maxwell could end up in the mix for the nickel back spot, where Roy Lewis and Marcus Trufant are currently competing.
With knee injuries limiting Matt McCoy and Barrett Ruud's participation in practices, special teams ace Heath Farwell has been getting some reps at middle linebacker. And by the sound of things, he's looking good out there – good news for him, not so good for Ruud and McCoy.
* * *
Kelly's report also included two names that I hadn't seen before in anyone's camp reports, CB DeShawn Shead and LB Kyle Knox. Both apparently looked good in practice today; assuming they can keep that up and make a few plays in the preseason, Shead and Knox might have legitimate shots at making the team as backups/special teams players.
* * *
Also of note are some observations made by NW Sports Beat's Brett Bivens, who came away impressed by Bruce Irvin's work ethic. According to Bivens, Irvin never took a play or drill off, coming hard all day at linemen & tackling dummies alike. Backup DL Pep Levingston also made an impression with his athleticism and speed; the late-round pick from last year still needs work on his technique, but his development appears to be coming along nicely.
After practice, several veteran Seahawks stayed late to mentor newcomers to the team. Bivens reported seeing Red Bryant working with Jason Jones, Breno Giacomini with JR Sweezy, and KJ Wright with Bobby Wagner. In short, team cohesiveness is looking good.

DPM Filters
Operator Visibility
Operator Visibility
The installation of filters on equipment will have the beneficial effect of limiting the exposure of personnel to DPM. The installation and use of these filters, however, must not create safety hazards with the operation of the machine. Other Best Practices have discussed the hazard of hot surfaces from the addition of filter piping and housings and the potential for uncontrolled regeneration (fire) in a ceramic filter on nonpermissible equipment. This Best Practice discuss the potential hazards of installing filters in a manner that limits the operator's field of view.
Some filter installations add large filter housings near the engine compartment. These large units allow longer filter maintenance intervals and reduce the machine's downtime. The large filter housings can, however, block the operators view to the rear of the machine. Since these machines usually have limited visibility, any additional obstructions can greatly increase the hazard of collisions with other vehicles or personnel. Reference EIMCO 915E Visibility Report and NIOSH Software: Visibility.
Consult with the equipment manufacturer, filter manufacturer, and MSHA concerning the visibility requirements at your mine before purchasing new equipment. Any retrofits of equipment to add DPF's should consider the effect the installation will have on operator visibility. Contact your local MSHA office or Dennis Ferlich at MSHA's Approval and Certification Center, 304-547-2058 or mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com, for more information.

In further efforts to improve the upper valley's mental health services, the Aspen Counseling Center is planning to offer a cafe-style program in which people can discuss medications and other issues over coffee, while the judicial system moves closer to implementing a mental health court involving alternatives to incarceration.
With a new detoxification center set to open on Monday at 7 p.m. in the Schultz Health and Human Services building, the programs add up to perhaps the highest level of service the Aspen area has been able to offer to people with issues that can include addiction, mental illness, or both.
A drug-testing component for the courts and the business sector also is expected to be soon up and running at the same location.
Andrea Pazdera, director of the counseling center, said the idea behind the cafe concept is to offer coffee and pastries in a sanctuary-like setting, one that may be offered daily. Two full-time clinicians, who also provide case management for folks who have more intensive needs, can ensure that the person is doing what they need to do, which may include medication usage, she said.
"A lot of times part of wellness is being thoughtful about how you eat, how you exercise, what you're doing in your daily activities," Pazdera said. "Sometimes it's people who are in recovery or are really struggling to maintain their health. It can be helpful to check in and make sure they're on the right page in making progress."
The closure last year of The Right Door, an Aspen-based drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, and Colorado West's detox center in Glenwood Springs, created a "perfect storm for some really quality community collaboration in terms of expanding mental health and substance abuse services in Pitkin County," she said.
The cafe will be aimed at people who need more than a weekly check-in, and could include vocational counseling, financial hardship help, physical and mental health services, and more intensive counseling.
"It could be critical for people who need that kind of resource," Pazdera said. "But it could also serve as a place for people just to check in — not everybody can make a scheduled appointment."
The idea is to have hours, likely in the morning and afternoons, where people know that there's a clinician available to do check-ins.
It would also benefit police, the Pitkin County Jail and the local judicial system if the measures help to reduce criminal recidivism rates.
But overall, "our vision is wellness in our community," Pazdera said. "That's critical to who we are. ... What we're really looking for is to improve that depth of quality, and part of that is having people who are in a bad spot have a consistent spot where they can just walk up. They don't have to make a phone call."
On the judicial side, a wide-ranging group of officials, including representatives of the legal, medical, law enforcement and community service sectors, continue to meet regularly to forge a mental-health court.
In an email earlier this month, Judge Erin Fernandez-Ely of Pitkin County Court said the advisory committee behind the new program are considering systems in use in Larimer and Boulder counties.
Larimer County's Alternatives to Incarceration for Individuals with Mental health needs program is designed for repeat offenders with mental health issues. Those issues are related to their crimes, and the program also provides services and supervision to adults who are involved in the system due to their mental health issues, according to the Larimer County website.
In Boulder County, the Partnership for Active Community Engagement, or PACE, works in a similar fashion. In a 2005 Denver Post article, citing Boulder County's sheriff, reported that PACE cut its clients' cumulative jail time from roughly 10,800 days a year to only 800.
"Those systems do not use a problem-solving court approach, but rather the courts sentence the individual to complete the programs," Fernandez-Ely wrote. "Those programs provide all the case management and supervision while providing the community services, including medication.
"We are exploring a hybrid system."
Fernandez-Ely, Pazdera and others have visited the Front Range to observe the court programs. Pazdera, who is on the steering committee for the Pitkin County Court system, said officials want to ensure the right program is in place
"It's just a different community," she said. "So I think we're being really thoughtful about it."

Banks wise up. Oppenheim Law has been touting 2011 as the "Year of the Short Sale," and it appears banks are finally catching on.
Two of the nation's largest lenders, Wachovia and JP Morgan Chase, are choosing to forego the lengthy foreclosure process by giving select homeowners $10,000 to $20,000 to complete a short sale, according to The Sun-Sentinel.
Much has been written about the problems banks are now facing when they chose to foreclose on underwater homeowners including extensive delays, mortgage documentation issues, evidentiary problems and especially high costs. The fact is that foreclosure defense attorneys have ensured that the foreclosure process is highly inconvenient and expensive for lenders.
Because of these inconveniences, there is growing sentiment that the banks need to explore alternatives for dealing with delinquent homeowners. As Oppenheim Law has continuously predicted, short sales have emerged as a viable option for the banks. We won't begin to ask what took them so long…
It's interesting, though, that the foreclosure process has been so mismanaged that banks are now paying underwater homeowners to sell their property for less than the remaining balance on the loan. The bottom line is that executing a short sale ultimately benefits everyone involved.
Oppenheim Law has represented hundreds of homeowners' short sales over the past few years and as a result has seen millions of dollars of homeowner deficiencies waived by the banks. Recently, Oppenheim Law has negotiated a $20,000 cash incentive for one of its clients to complete a short sale. Today's Sun-Sentinel article is evidence that banks are becoming more eager to avoid foreclosure and complete short sales.

This newspaper has no special insight beyond that of our readers, but we did opine on the day before the election that while it is usually not the case sometimes a couple of votes can make a difference one way or the other.
Count among the lessons of Tuesdays election the importance of every single vote.
The Cambridge mayors race and a city council contest both appear to have been decided by a hair-splittingly tight margin. The official counts will come later in the process, but any way it goes, this still was an election of historic significance.
If anybody ever needed reassurance of the importance of their one vote, this was it.

Washington (AFP) Dec 17, 2012
The return of conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Japan has raised hopes in Washington for closer security ties, although US officials hope he keeps a lid on his more strident views.
Abe is a champion of revising the post-World War II pacifist constitution and may take shorter-term steps such as boosting defense spending and allowing greater military cooperation with the United States, Japan's treaty-bound ally.
His Liberal Democratic Party, which ruled almost continuously from 1955 until 2009, roared back Sunday with a crushing victory over the Democratic Party of Japan, which Abe accused of harming relations with the United States.
President Barack Obama's relations with DPJ-led Japanese governments have substantially improved after early friction. But Abe is seen as more supportive of US force deployments and has vowed no compromise with China in a worsening row over disputed islands.
Michael Green, the senior vice president for Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that Abe's victory was a "net positive" for the United States and could in fact stabilize Japan-China ties.
"The view in Beijing is that their pressure tactics are working on Japan and I think it's important to disabuse them of that," Green said.
But Green, who served as the top Asia adviser to former president George W. Bush, feared that a new team in the second Obama administration could follow a "simplistic media picture" of a more hawkish Japan and potentially isolate Abe.
"If the administration decides it has to somehow counter Japan's shift to the right by brokering between Japan and China, it would not go well either in relations with Japan or China," he said.
But Green said that US priorities in Asia -- particularly the relationship between allies Japan and South Korea -- could face setbacks if Abe pursues a hard line over emotive history issues.
Abe, whose grandfather was arrested but not indicted as a World War II war criminal, has called in the past for rescinding Japan's apology to wartime sex slaves, known euphemistically as "comfort women."
But Abe, during his previous 2006-2007 premiership, worked to repair ties with China and South Korea and avoided politically charged visits to the Yasukuni shrine, which honors 2.5 million Japanese war dead including war criminals.
"There is a concern for US policymakers that his revisionist inclinations will spark new tensions in the region, but his statements of late have at least tried to temper those anxieties," said Weston Konishi, director of Asia-Pacific studies at the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis.
"I think the hope is that he'll take a very responsible approach," he said.
Abe will likely face domestic pressure not to antagonize neighbors. Japanese business leaders have been alarmed by tensions and Abe governs in a coalition with New Komeito, a Buddhist party with pacifist views.
Konishi said there were "probably some circles in town that welcome" the return of familiar faces in the Liberal Democratic Party, but added that the Obama administration had developed a strong relationship with the Democrats.
Obama congratulated Abe and called the US-Japan alliance "the cornerstone of peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific." State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Washington has "worked with Japanese governments of both parties for decades" and looked forward to working with Abe.
James Schoff, a former Pentagon official who is a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said that Abe's effort on defense could be "a net benefit for everyone" if Japan complements the United States.
"But if the focus is more toward building up offensive capabilities vis-a-vis China, that's going to create probably more problems than it's worth from a US perspective," he said.
Yukio Hatoyama, the first prime minister following the DPJ's landmark 2009 win, resigned after clashing with the United States over the status of a controversial military base in Okinawa.
Relations improved after the round-the-clock US response to last year's tsunami and the Obama administration enjoyed strong ties with outgoing prime minister Yoshihiko Noda, who supported joining talks on a US-backed trade pact known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
The Liberal Democrats have been divided on the emerging deal. The party relies on support from farmers, many of whom adamantly oppose foreign competition.

The information in this paper focuses on identifying the LEED categories and options where pumice and pumice-enhanced products can contribute to the goal of LEED certification.
Malad City, Idaho (PRWEB) April 02, 2014
As the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program evolves and grows, so too does the need to understand the fit—both in cost and performance—of a wide range of effective materials and processes to meet the requirements.
As product use alone does not provide LEED points, the information in this just-released white paper focuses on identifying the LEED categories and options where pumice and pumice-enhanced products can be valuable contributors to the goal of LEED certification.
The categories and options discussed include Brownfield Redevelopment and Remediation, Sustainable Sites, Location and Transportation, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Rainwater Management and Storm Water Design, Outside Water Use Reduction and Water Efficient Landscaping, Minimum Energy Performance, Optimize Energy Performance, Reducing Cement Content.
Not all pumice is created equal, nor are the refining processes, product blends, and the companies behind those products. Hence, the information in this white paper is attuned specifically to the pumice products produced by Hess Pumice of Malad City, Idaho.
Consultation on the LEED-specific information in this white paper was provided by Sarah Andrews CSI, CDT; LEED AP BD+C; a member of the USGBC Faculty and an AGC Approved Instructor
The LEED certification program has been embraced worldwide and is the predominant green building certification system in the US. Success with the goals of the LEED certification process—environmental performance, improvement of occupant well- being, and economic return—are well documented, and the program continues to evolve with the addition of new ratings systems.

USC already has its starting defensive ends identified in Devon Kennard and Wes Horton, and its top three tackles organized too.
But that's not enough. The Trojans need more linemen capable of logging 10-20 snaps a game to provide breathers for the starters. Who will back those five guys up against the fast-paced offenses of the Pac-12?
"That's the big question," USC defensive line coach Ed Orgeron said last week.
Orgeron has dedicated this spring to cultivating some playable backups for the 2012 season. And as of right now, he says, he has four potential players: redshirt freshman Greg Townsend Jr., junior Morgan Breslin, redshirt junior Kevin Greene and incoming freshman Leonard Williams.
Realistically, those four are competing -- or will be competing, in Williams' case -- for two slots behind Kennard and Horton.
"There's gonna be a third and a fourth end," Orgeron said on Saturday after the Trojans' scrimmage at the Coliseum. "But there is a big difference between the first team and the second team right now.
"Those guys have to rise and I have to do a better job of coaching them to get ready."
At defensive tackle, redshirt sophomore George Uko will start at the three-technique and it's starting to look like Antwaun Woods will start at nose tackle. But Woods and fellow second-year man J.R. Tavai will split the snaps there, in some form.
Redshirt freshmen Cody Temple and Christian Heyward are the options for the needed fourth tackle, but both are out for the rest of the spring. Temple underwent surgery last week on his ankle and is expected back for fall camp; Heyward is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.
"Really, a guy that was showing promise was Cody Temple," Orgeron said. "That would be our fourth guy right now."
Orgeron has been most pleased with Kennard and Horton, the two seniors who shared time with now-NFL hopeful Nick Perry on the corners last season. He said the two have emerged from the shadow Perry's athleticism and NFL potential created on the defensive line.
"Nick was the guy last year and I think they were kind of overshadowed a little bit," Orgeron said. "I don't think they liked it, and I don't blame them one bit.
"Nick was a really good player for us, but these guys bring some different things. They're not probably as gifted as Nick, but they're really good in some other areas."
