American shad are the most well-known river herring in the Chesapeake Bay. Shad form an important link in the Bay's food web, and once supported the most valuable finfish fishery in the region. But pollution, historic overfishing and the construction of dams that block the migratory fish from reaching their spawning grounds have lowered shad populations. Commercial shad harvest is now closed across most of the region. To restore shad to the region's waterways, Chesapeake Bay Program partners are working to remove dams and restock rivers with hatchery-raised fish.
American shad form an important link in the Chesapeake Bay food web. Shad are also part of the region's history and culture.
Shad form an important link between the lower and upper levels of the food web. The migratory fish spend three to five years in the ocean before returning to freshwater rivers and streams—including the James, Potomac, Rappahannock, Susquehanna and York rivers—to spawn. These spring spawning runs bring energy from the ocean back into the Bay in the form of protein-rich eggs, adult shad that can be captured during the spawn and a new generation of shad that can offer forage to striped bass, bluefish and other species as they return to the sea.
Shad have played a vital role in the region's history. Native Americans caught shad as a staple food, and European colonists kept barrels of salted shad in their homes. During the Revolutionary War, shad were deemed the "savior fish" that fed George Washington's troops after the harsh winter of 1778. And the harvest of shad and other herring from the Potomac River supplemented the income Washington made on his Mount Vernon plantation.
Through the nineteenth century, fishermen flocked to the region's rivers for the spring shad spawning runs. The fish were often prepared through a method called "planking": tacking the fish to wooden boards and smoking them next to an open fire. Some communities continue to hold shad festivals to honor this tradition.
American shad once supported the most valuable finfish fishery in the region. But pollution, historic overfishing and the construction of dams that block the migratory fish from reaching their spawning grounds have lowered shad populations.
In 2007, the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) completed a stock assessment for American shad that indicated stocks are at an all-time low and do not appear to be recovering. While the abundance of shad in the Chesapeake Bay watershed has improved—particularly in the Potomac River—populations in most of the area's rivers and streams are below the Bay Program's long-term goals.
As the watershed's population grew, so did our impact on the land and water. Sediment washing off of farms, untreated waste leaving homes and factories, and polluted rainwater running off of urban streets polluted the rivers and streams that fed the Chesapeake Bay. While the 1972 Clean Water Act improved the condition of many local waterways, by that time, pollution had killed millions of river herring and made it difficult for young fish to survive.
Native Americans and European colonists caught shad as a staple food, using baskets, nets and traps to catch the fish as they swam upstream to their freshwater spawning grounds. Because the region's human population was relatively small, the impact of these early fishing efforts was minimal.
Between 1750 and 1800, the region's human population rose from 380,000 to 1 million. By the 1850s, this number reached almost 2 million. Larger crews and seine nets were needed to meet the market's increasing demand for shad. Between 1831 and 1850, fishermen caught 41,000 metric tons of shad each year—equivalent to the weight of more than 500,000 human adults.
After the Civil War, an increasing and industrializing population demanded more fish and shellfish. Fishing gear grew larger and more sophisticated: pound nets and gill nets grew more common, while one seine net used in the Potomac River stretched more than six miles long.
Shad populations were severely depleted. By the end of the 1800s, fishermen only caught 8,000 metric tons of shad each year. Annual shad landings continued to decline, and by the 1970s reached just 1,000 metric tons.
In 1980, Maryland closed its commercial shad fishery. The Potomac River's shad fishery closed in 1982 (with limited harvest opening up in 2003), and Virginia's closed in 1994.
Shad are anadromous, which means they spend their adult lives in the ocean and migrate into freshwater rivers and streams to spawn. Historically, most shad spawned in freshwater areas that are now blocked by dams, culverts and other structures.
European colonists built mill dams across streams to raise the water level so that it would turn the wheels of water mills; these dams blocked shad migrations. As the nation industrialized, larger dams were built across bigger rivers. By 1940, dams and other structures had blocked access to thousands of miles of freshwater spawning grounds. In Pennsylvania, for instance, large hydroelectric dams effectively closed the shad fishery on the Susquehanna River. Around the same time, people began to fish for shad in the lower sections of the rivers where the fish had begun to congregate, further depleting the shad population.
To protect American shad, commercial harvest is closed across most of the region. To restore shad to the region's waterways, Chesapeake Bay Program partners are working to remove dams and restock rivers, install fish passageways and restock rivers with hatchery-raised fish. The abundance of shad in the Chesapeake Bay watershed has improved—particularly in the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers—but populations in most of the area's rivers and streams are below the Bay Program's long-term goals.
In 1980, Maryland closed its commercial shad fishery. The Potomac River's shad fishery closed in 1982 (with limited harvest opening up in 2003), and Virginia's closed in 1994. Recreational harvest is closed Bay-wide, although catch-and-release fishing is allowed.
Because shad spend much of their adult lives in the ocean, it is important that the fish are managed properly outside of the Bay. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) manages the coastal shad and river herring stock, and has closed commercial and recreational fisheries in state waters unless a state has developed a sustainable management plan.
Removing dams, culverts and other structures and installing fish lifts, ladders and other passageways is a critical component of opening spawning habitat and restoring shad populations. The installation of a fish passageway at Little Falls Dam and the removal of Embry Dam, for instance, are two factors that contributed to an increase in shad abundance in the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers. As of 2013, Bay Program partners have reopened more than 2,500 miles of streams and rivers to migratory fish.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), several watershed states (including Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia) and the Pamunkey and Mattaponi tribal governments raise young shad in hatcheries and stock them in rivers across the region. Scientists mark the hatchery-raised fish before they are released to track them into the future. As hatchery-produced adults increase, the wild juvenile population should rise in turn.
Hatchery programs have proven successful in reintroducing shad to rivers where they were once abundant. According to an article in the Bay Journal, scientists stocked about 15 million hatchery-raised shad in the region in 2014:
For Chesapeake Bay restoration to be a success, we all must do our part. Our everyday actions can have a big impact on the Bay. By making simple changes in our lives, each one of us can take part in restoring the Bay and its rivers for future generations to enjoy.
To restore shad in the Bay watershed, practice proper catch-and-release fishing techniques to avoid harming fish and follow fishing regulations to protect shad stocks.
Reuniting shad with their spawning areas means helping them overcome some pretty big obstacles

Cleaner water is the cornerstone of shad recovery in the river.
Data from the James, Potomac, Rappahannock, Susquehanna and York rivers show the abundance of American shad in the Chesapeake Bay fell from 39 percent to 38 percent of the goal in 2016.
Each river from which shad abundance data is collected has its own restoration target. Between 2015 and 2016, relative shad abundance dropped to the lowest index values ever reported in the Rappahannock, York and Lower James rivers, reaching 21 percent, 9 percent and 2.7 percent of the targets, respectively. Abundance remained negligible at Bosher's Dam on the Upper James River and at York Haven Dam on the Susquehanna River. Relative abundance has increased and surpassed the restoration target in the Potomac River—the only waterway in which abundance is represented with the running average of the catch rate since data collection began—over the course of data collection.
In 2015, 77 stream miles were opened to fish passage in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This brings the restoration total to 817 miles since 2011, which is an 82 percent achievement of the 1,000-mile goal.
What are American shad and why are they important to the Chesapeake Bay? Bruce Vogt from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) explains how the watershed's shad population has changed over time and what scientists are doing to restore the anadromous fish to our waterways.

Channing Tatum Talks 'Magic Mike' Sequel: 'It's a Road Movie'
Be prepared, ladies: Channing Tatum is already planning Magic Mike's big sequel.
Though a Broadway play of the Steven Soderbergh-helmed movie is already in the works, the 32-year-old actor says he wants to see his stripper persona grace the silver screen one more time.
"You know, we are talking a lot about it. We have a story, and it is really ridiculous and fun," he told German site Filmstarts (as reprinted by IndieWire) of the follow-up flick. "It's a road movie sort of thing, where a bunch of strippers get back together."
"It's more of a broad comedy," he continued.
So who is Tatum eying for Magic Mike 2?
One thing is for sure: Tatum desperately wants Soderbergh to return — though the director's plans for an indefinite hiatus may axe Tatum's chance to re-enlist the Oscar winner.
"We really want to, but Steven Soderbergh really want to retire," Tatum said. "We will undoubtedly make the Broadway version first."
Magic Mike, which grossed $113 million since its June premiere, is a semi-biographical depiction of Tatum's past as a male stripper. The actor was also a producer on the film.
Since Soderbergh may not return for the sequel, Tatum is looking elsewhere — including himself.
"Gregory Jacobs [Soderbergh's assistant director] can make the film," he suggested. "[Or producers] Reid Carolin and me."
What do you think of a potential Magic Mike sequel? Sound off in the comments.

Latino/a Participation and Engagement in Community Events,
in Churches, and in Educational Settings
Xaé Alicia Reyes
"My mother would take me to parish council meetings when I was young. She would share with me her perspective, but she wouldn't articulate it in the meeting. I was very struck by this: Why was she so quiet?"1
Close to a thousand people assembled in the High School cafeteria for the Fiesta de Reyes-2006, where over three hundred families had diligently registered their children up to receive gifts from the "Three Kings." The majority of the families have been participating for years, and the town and school authorities have supported the event recognizing the need for the predominantly Puerto Rican population to honor their traditions. Teachers in the elementary and middle school facilitated the process and some, mostly those of Latino descent, were also in attendance. The parents defied all notions of non-participation that are often present in school discussions. The patterns of strong involvement and participation are powerful and frequent in other events such as: the bilingual concerts at the dual language school and at their open houses; family nights in the Even Start program; and the annual folkloric dance night at the middle school. Parents and extended families attend, prepare meals, help with organization, provide transportation for items that need to be delivered, and participate as musicians, servers and many other ways. In observing these patterns over time, the question is: what strategies are working to obtain this massive commitment for these types of events? And more importantly: how can they be replicated in areas that impact academic achievement? The answer might be found in probing interactions such as the one depicted in Pineda-Madrid's recollection of her mother's inability to share her views at parish meetings.2 If a person feels intimidated in a certain context or discouraged from participating or expressing opinions, we must analyze the elements that may encourage participation vis a vis those that alienate certain participants.
In this inquiry, qualitative methods are employed because of the rich data that are drawn from longitudinal interviews and observations3 and because years of participation and connectedness to the communities have evolved into long-standing trust and rapport.4 These circumstances lend themselves to a deeper analysis and potential for findings that may result in positive developments for the communities involved.

Established in 1846 by Louis Rueger, the hotel was primarily a bootlegging saloon that offered rooms for intoxicated clientele who were unable to drive their carriages home. The old black and white photographs displayed throughout the lobby and hallways serve as a vivid reminder of more humble days when the hotel was named Rueger's and stood only three stories high.
During the Civil War, when Richmond fell to the Union Army, the warehouses along the James River were set ablaze to avoid their falling into enemy hands. The winds swept the flames up Ninth Street and hotel Reuger was burned to the ground.
The Capitol was unharmed by the fire. The hotel did not re-open it's doors until almost 50 years later when it was rebuilt in 1912 as a 10 story structure. In 1956 an 11th floor was added.
It was in 1982 that a Virginia developer saw the potential of the old Rueger's building and bought the hotel. It was at this time he gutted the 123 room interior to create 59 very spacious one and two room suites. Only the small elevators were left intact to maintain the atmosphere of a small European Hotel.
Recent renovations included modern amenities while retaining the historic charm of the hotel. Guests enjoy the privacy and comfort of spacious suites some overlooking the State Capitol Park, which is filled with Southern Magnolia trees and roses. Gracious Southern Hospitality resides at the corner of 9th and Bank Streets in Downtown Richmond Virginia.
Come and stay with us at The Historic Commonwealth Park Suites Hotel
and let us make your stay a memorable one.

"The idea stemmed from studies of the American Bar Association, which showed that in the United States, people had a great need for legal services. It also showed that the vast majority of people needing legal care chose not to see a lawyer. People don't like lawyers; they're afraid of lawyers. They're worried about fees or how to find a lawyer," Brooks said. "I got into it with my friend and partner, Joe Hyatt, in the late '70s. We were both lawyers."
Together Hyatt and Brooks founded Hyatt Legal Services, a nationwide law firm. Within ten years it had become the largest law firm in the United States, eventually focusing on offering legal plans rather than direct legal services. "A fundamental service we provide to people who enroll is locating their lawyer," Brooks said. "You might think of it as being on the wholesale end of legal services."
During the economic downturn, Brooks shaped his plans to suit the new paradigm. "More and more employers are moving away from providing employer-paid benefits to providing so-called voluntary, employee-paid benefits," he said. "That employer might first shift healthcare, life insurance and disability insurance from an employer-paid benefit to a benefit that is at least partially employee-paid, and then also add things like dental, legal, critical illness, long term care, financial planning, and other benefit options for employees to select. That shift has had a big impact on our growth and is definitely a trend that has helped us."
Brooks has also seen a huge increase in business during the recession, stemming from the need for bankruptcy representation and other debt-related issues. "It was really the first time in our history that we saw such a dramatic increase in the use of one particular benefit," he said. "Bankruptcy use has started to move toward more normal levels, but it definitely had a big impact. In that sense, you could say the recession has actually helped underscore the value and need for our service."

LLLJP Data Comparison: HRDL (vertical-slice scans) / sonic anemometers
Visual analysis of HRDL-measured variances (top) and sonic anemometer measurements of TKE (bottom) shows good agreement in the evolution of both variables through the night. Dotted lines on top panel indicate levels of sonic anemometer measurement. Regression analysis also shows a high correlation between both instruments.
But comparison of these variables is very sensitive to the vertical binning technique used to obtain the variance profiles from lidar vertical-slice scans. The wind speed observed by sonic anemometers at tower levels and HRDL-measured horizontal velocity at the same levels agreed even better with R^2 of 0.96 and a maximum bias of about 1 m/s, which Kelley at al. (2007) attributed to flow distortion by the tower.
The scatter plots show good agreement between sonic anemometers velocity measurements and HRDL streamwise velocity derived at the same heights.
Comparison of the 5 min TKE calculated by sonic anemometers and HRDL streamwise variance, calculated at four different heights.

Energy 5.1 Take Classic System Review
You can learn some of Energy 5.1 Take Classic System Review below. They are real customers who buy this product from Amazon.
By James T – Surpassed Expectations
Purchased the Energy 5.1 Take Classic System in August of this year and am extremely impressed with its performance.
I should preface this review by disclosing that I am a heavy researcher, my wife says bordering on compulsive. Whenever I am considering a large purchase I plot and plan for weeks, scouring reviews and forums pertaining to whatever product it is I'm interested in. My aim in this research is to get the best possible value for my money. Essentially I really like nice "stuff." After enduring roughly two years of shallow, boxy sounds emitted from my Samsung home theatre in a box, I decided it was time to kick it to the curb. I wanted a system offering rich, full sound to complement the picture of my TV. And the researching commenced. . .
I initially heard about the Energy 5.1 Take Classic system from a cursory browsing of CNET. Being a Amazon Prime fanatic, the Amazon reviews were the obvious next step in the process. Five stars with so many reviews? I was confused. I decided to cross reference several different website's reviews looking for bias. After not finding any such thing, similar products were scrutinized in the same manner. Obviously, I ended up going with Energy–which was actually my initial choice anyways.
With the speakers I purchased and paired the Pioneer VSK-1021K receiver, which I'm also very pleased with. Other system components include: 12 gauge speaker wire, high quality HDMI and subwoofer cables and the Atlantic Satellite speaker stands for the fronts.
I must admit I was initially a little underwhelmed with the performance of the Energy Take Classic 5.1 speakers. I had spent several hours cleanly running all the cables into the attic, under carpet and connecting everything to the receiver via banana plugs; why didn't it sound better? I listened to all matter of media over the course of the next few weeks; adjusting speaker levels, auto calibrating everything and generally fretting. Yet still, the Energy Take Classic 5.1 sound was tinny. Disconcertingly so with female vocalists, which would produce a shrill sound from the tweeter resembling static. I read on Energy's website that there was a "break in period" that must be followed. I decided to leave music, tv, etc. playing throughout the day in order to break them in before my return period expired (a course of action I was seriously considering.) However, as the hours of play time wore on I started to notice a change in the sound stage emitted from the speakers. The room was starting to be filled with increasingly rich sound.
After several months of the usage I am blown away by the performance of these speakers. They are now incredibly warm when playing music and the aforementioned "problem tweeters" resonate with a silkiness previously inconceivable. They excel in cinema watching as well producing good bass response and a well-balanced center channel. The subwoofer, although small, is well paired with the system producing clear and concise lows. None of this overpowering, floppy and out-of-sync bass commonly experienced with larger $200-500 subwoofers.
For the size of my living room (roughly 15×20) these speakers fill the room with sound quite impressively.
As many other reviewers have noted, the binding plugs won't accept banana plugs; although the posts themselves crimp quite well on the speaker wire–so not a worry to me. Another point I'll echo from some of the reviewers is the importance of setting up your receiver properly. Set the speaker size to "small" and crossover around 100-110HZ if not auto calibrating. As a matter of preference I have the subwoofer crossover set at 130HZ and volume around 80%.
Being a connoisseur of good value I'll say overall I'm very impressed with this Energy 5.1 Take Classic System . It rivals speaker systems in the $1500 range, as I've witnessed on several occasions. If you pair it with a GOOD receiver and observe proper break-in you will not be disappointed.

News from the Hilltop
Yuan Gong is new Diversity Delegate at Birmingham-Southern College
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Birmingham-Southern junior Yuan Gong of Chengdu, China, represents the concerns of the student body on issues of multiculturalism and diversity after being selected as the college's 2011-12 Southern Diversity Delegate.
An accounting major with a minor in business, Gong was selected by a panel of judges and by student vote.
Her two-part platform is to plan activities and programs that will help broaden the world view of BSC students and to help international students get more involved on campus and in the local community. She received a programming budget and stipend to support her work.
BSC has a vibrant and growing international student community, including 16 students from China.
The Southern Diversity Delegate works cooperatively with the college's Office of Multicultural Affairs to sponsor cultural programs, promote community building, and help facilitate cross-cultural understanding. In this role, Gong also serves as chair of the Multicultural Advisory Committee, will assist with the coordination of the "Free Food for Thought Series" and Diversity Week activities this fall and spring, and will help write the biannual newsletter "Perspectives."
Gong has proactively sought out opportunities for service and leadership at Birmingham-Southern. She is president of Love Asia, one of the largest student organizations on campus. She also served the college's Sklenar Center for International Programs as an international student ambassador. In this role, she established the International Student Mentor Program, which helps new international students at BSC make connections with U.S. students on the campus. Her outstanding contributions in her sophomore year at BSC made her a 2010 recipient of the Genzan Chiba International Student Award.
In addition, Gong has served as a Math Lab tutor and Academic Resource Center tutor for both accounting and Mandarin Chinese classes on campus, and as business manager for "The Hilltop News" student newspaper for two years. This year, she is serving the Sklenar Center as both international student peer advisor and international floor (I-Floor) coordinator.
As an international student peer advisor, Gong will continue her work with the International Student Mentor Program as well as counsel international students with student life issues. As I-Floor coordinator, she is working with the Sklenar Center and Office of Residence Life to enrich the cultural programming for U.S. and international students living on the floor in Bruno Residence Hall this academic year.
She is the daughter of Jia and Xiaoyong Gong.

Granada, Spain (SPX) Nov 27, 2012
University of Granada researchers have developed a revolutionary data storage device in collaboration with the CEA-LETI lab at Grenoble (France), an institution of the Campus of International Excellence CEI BioTic. The researchers have designed one of the most advanced data storage devices in the world. The invention is protected with ten international patents including Japan, USA, Corea and the European Union.
Important companies such as Samsung and Hynix (Corea) and Micron (USA) have shown interest in this innovative data storage device.
The researchers at the University of Granada Nanoelectronics Lab Noel Rodriguez and Francisco Gamiz have designed an Advanced Random Access Memory (A-RAM). The researchers developed the theoretical model of this new technology in 2009.
The CEA-LETI lab -which has developed one of the most advanced nanoelectronic technologies in the world- have designed a device that experimentally confirms the results previously obtained in theoretical studies.
The results of this experimental validation have been published in the prestigious journal IEEE Electron Device Letters and were presented in the International Silicon on Insulator Technology Conference recently celebrated in San Francisco, USA.
In the wake of the new devices and microprocessors developed by Intel (Ivy Bridge), UGR scientists are investigating alternative 3D A2RAM-based memories such as FinFET-ARAM and Trigate-ARAM patented in France and presented in the International Memory Workshop celebrated in May 2012 in Milan, Italy.
Overcoming Challenges
According to Francisco Gamiz "since its invention in the 60's by Robert Dennard at IBM (USA), the commands and data necessary for the proper performance of a computer are stored as zeros (no charge) and ones (charge) in DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) cell arrays".
These cell arrays are composed of a transistor and a capacitor (o 1T-1C-DRAM). Each bit of information is stored as an electric charge in a cell consisting on a transistor and a capacitor that provides access to the charge and, consequently, to the data.
Since its development, the DRAM concept has remained unchanged. Currently, we can find DRAM cells smaller than 20nm (1 nanometer is one billionth of a meter) and DRAM memory chips of several gigabytes (one gigabyte is one billion of bites). However, the possibilities of making these cells smaller are becoming exhausted due to the minimum charge needed to clearly distinguish between the two estates of a bit (1 and 0). This is drawing the line to the minimum size of capacitors.
"If we cannot further reduce the size of the capacitor, the solution is to replace it with 1T-DRAM memory cells -or one-transistor memories- that store information directly in the transistor, which simultaneously detects the estate of the cells and gives access to the information stored."
N. Rodriguez, C.Navarro, F.Gamiz, F.Andrieu, O.Faynot, S.Cristoloveanu, "Experimental demonstration of A2RAM memory cells on Silicon-On-Insulator", IEEE Electron Device Letters, Aceptado para publicacion (2012) ;N.Rodriguez, C.Navarro, F.Gamiz, F.Andrieou, O.Faynot, S.Cristoloveanu, "Experimental Demonstration of A2RAM Memory Cell on SOI", IEEE International SOI Conference, San Francisco, Oct.2-4, 2012; F.Gamiz, N.Rodriguez and S.Cristoloveanu, "3D Trigate 1T-DRAM memory cell for 2x nmnodes",4th International Memory Workshop, Milan, May 20-22, 2012

D.O.B.: April 1, 1988
Position: First Baseman
Height: 6-fppt-3
Weight: 200
Bats: Left
Throws: Right
How Acquired: Drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the seventh round of the 2006 June draft.
When the Twins selected Waltenbury in the seventh round of the 2006 draft, they were getting one of the top junior players in Canada. Already drawing comparisons to current Twins first baseman Justin Morneau at that point, Waltenbury has done nothing to quell those thoughts since he began his professional career. Possessing a sweet stroke from the left side, Waltenbury has hit the ball well thus far, and will likely be in Beloit in 2009.
After being drafted by the Twins, Waltenbury performed very well in Instructional Leagues and Extended Spring Training, before making his debut for the Gulf Coast League Twins in 2007. He even led the Instructional League with a .421 batting average in 2006. He would struggle a bit in the Gulf Coast League, but bounced back in 2008.
In 2007, Waltenbury batted only .244, smacking three home runs in 41 games. He showed decent power, which was a sign of things to come, as nine of his 30 hits went for extra bases. He drove in 16 runs, scored 19 times, and picked up 18 walks.
The 2008 season was a breakout season of sort for the Canadian, as he would be named an Appalachian League Post-Season All-Star. He led the league in total bases (142), extra-base hits (35), and at-bats (263), while finishing second in runs (49), and hits (84). In total, Waltenbury batted .319, blasting ten home runs, while driving in 45 in only 63 games.
He will likely be in the middle of the order for the Beloit Snappers in 2009.
Batting and Power: Waltenbury has a classic left-handed power stroke, and will be a 20-25 home run guy in the future. He draws comparisons to Justin Morneau, who just happens to be his favorite player. He can hit the ball out of any park, works the gaps, and has an advanced batting eye for his age. He will be a consistent .300 hitter if he continues to develop at this pace.
Baserunning and Speed: Waltenbury is not a burner on the basepaths, and I would not say that his speed is a good attribute. He is a smart baserunner, having played at numerous national levels, and does not make many mistakes. He is likely to top out at like five stolen bases a season, but is likely to only swipe a bag or two. He won't hurt you on the basepaths, but he also won't hurt his team.
Defense: Here is an area that Waltenbury needs to work on, as he has really struggled with the glove through his first two seasons in the Twins organization. He has combined to commit 16 errors in only 104 games as a pro, playing only the first base spot. He is going to get better with time, and has a very good arm, however, he needs to make this a priority this spring.
ETA. 2012 Waltenbury should make a steady rise through the Twins organization, as they do not have many power prospects in the farm system. Waltenbury already is ranked in the top-10 in power, and will only get better with age. Only 20 years old, Waltenbury will get his first taste of full season baseball in 2009, and it will be interesting to see how he does in the Midwest League.

My concern is for my baby, age 11 months, who can walk. He is QUICK and rudderless. Of course I'll be with him the entire time, but I'm still *terrified* of him falling in the pool. I already have two others to track, and neither of them can swim yet either. Drowning is a pretty common killer of kids, so I don't think I'm being irrational.
Is there an appropriate life jacket for someone that small? Is there another safe and feasible option for him?
Hiring a sitter isn't an option. I could restrain him (e.g. stroller or carseat), but I'd really rather explore other options first. Ideas?

I would absolutely put him in a life jacket. Most of my friends with pools require anyone under 12 that can't swim and is on the deck/pool area to wear a life jacket. I would have no second thoughts about using a harness or stroller and I surely wouldn't give a crap what anyone thought either. Better safe than sorry.
(I have two kids, I've never had a runner. Runners scare the SHIT out of me. Thank goodness mine were never explorers. )
That would be a nightmare situation for me. Not just a drowning issue, but falling/slipping on the hard pool deck and hitting teeth or heads on hard concrete/tile.I would rather sit in the car during the lessons.
If you will be in the water near by I would get life jackets for everyone. They make them for infants, but they are not for playing in the water. They are designed to keep infants on their backs.
For toddlers and preschoolers, I love the puddle jumpers life jackets. Allows for lots of play.
If not then I would just keep him in the stroller for the lesson. 30 minutes goes by really quick.
Most city pools are in parks. In most of them, you can stay on the grass on the OUTSIDE of the pool, separated by a fence.
Most kids who drown are in situations where adults are drinking, or where there are lots of adults who all think someone else is watching the child. Although I can see how your 11 month old could fall in the water and get really scared, I seriously doubt he would drown. I just don't see that as a realistic fear in that situation.
but everything has pros and cons
I looked for a life jacket for my young baby and didn't find anything that would have been comfortable while playing in the heat for a half hour.The one we ended up with is sold at REI, I remember that, at least. Whether one would work well in the circumstances you're describing would depend on your LO and how willing he is to wear a life vest while playing.
I think it's a good idea to check out the pool before worrying too much. While I don't agree that all pools have a similar design (they don't in my area), what I think a lot of them do have in common is being fairly family friendly. I'd wager a bet that there is a play structure, a baby pool or at least a picnic area where you can pass the time.
If there isn't, passing a half-hour on a pool deck with three kids would kill me too - mainly because of the younger children wanting to get in the pool too! I'd probably drop-off and do an errand or take a walk with the other kids.
Side note - we're on our third summer of having an older child and and and infant/toddler. It's been interesting - each summer poses different challenges. My younger is now 2 and it will be interesting. In many ways easier because she can tag along on so many more things but the new challenge is that she is starting to feel left out... poor thing! To make matters worse, our pool only allows children 3+ in "the big pool" and doesn't allow older children in the baby pool. My two kids can't swim together at all. Oy!
On pool safety, the thing that stuck for me the most over the years is how often drowning is a silent thing - which is scary! But, I have to say that I don't think an 11 month old falling in the pool is all that big of a deal - not with the mom right there. I think it would be scary but not a life-threatening..and maybe a good education for your LO. This is based on absolutely NO research whatsoever. ;-)
One more thing...
My yonger's first swim lesson did A LOT of pool-side safety for the kids. They made them fall into the deep end, made them lunge for the wall and get to safety before learning to swim and etc. I think a good first swim class should have this!
Troll? Here's me...

That's an interesting rule. Is it a safety issue or more of a hygiene one? Do they not want kids with swim diapers in the big pool for fear of poop accidents cause then they would have to close the pool.
When I take both kids to swim lessons, we have a parent viewing area where the little one can wander around. I do bring the stroller so I can strap her in when its time to get the big one out of the pool and then changed in the bathroom.
I have no idea. It's not a common rule in our area pools - most "big pools" allow in-arms kids so long as their in a swim diaper. Our area is interesting in that there is a huge number of private pools and only a small handful of public pools. We're on an extended family plan with my SIL so we just take what we can get in terms of pool membership.
I MUCH prefer to swim in natural water and there are lots of opportunities for that where we live so I take every chance we can get to get the kids in the bay, the ocean, lakes, streams and etc.

The best things I ever did to optimize my findabilty on the search engines
is this:
1. Made sure my pages were all labeled properly with headings, tags,
whatever you want to call them. The search engines find you but what good
is it when your pages are labeled untitled document or new page 1 as
Frontpage tends to do.
2. Put a Freefind site map/seach box on your site.
It really helped because they spider your pages and if they are labeled
correctly it helps folk locate your information. When I google my web site
Cindy Blankenship's Family Site I come up first and then also am listed in
about the top 10 spots for one reason or another. I also make sure when I
post things I put my website name on it, such as at Worldconnect. The more
exposure the better. It's like advertising. Google me and see what you
Take a look at my site:
Here's my search box and site map:
Good luck! It took a few months for everything to show up the way it does
now, but it is worth it if one lost or misplaced family member finds you
that way.

Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is backing US banks, saying they no longer pose a threat to the American economy.
Mr Buffett, who oversees stakes in a number of large US banks through his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate, told Bloomberg that "the banks will not get this country in trouble, I guarantee it".
"The capital ratios are huge, the excesses on the asset side have been largely cleared out," he said.
"Our banking system is in the best shape in recent memory."
Berkshire Hathaway has investments in at least four of the seven biggest US lenders, includiong Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs Group, according to Bloomberg.
The US Federal Reserve is currently putting major American banks through another round of 'stress tests' to ensure they have enough capital to withstand a severe economic downturn.

Whatever it wants to. People seem to be imagining that the appname isn't under the control of the pooler. It's a connection property, remember? It won't be set at all unless the pooler explicitly sets it or allows it to be set. I would imagine that typically a pooler would consider the whole connection string as defining connection properties and so appname would work the same as username or anything else, ie, you get shunted into a different connection pool if you ask for a different appname. regards, tom lane

In 1901, famed educator Booker T. Washington published his autobiography, Up from Slavery. In many ways, the book and its author symbolized the progress that all African Americans had made in the previous three decades. By the turn of the 20th century, black people were beginning to assert themselves and claim their rightful place as citizens of the United States.
That same year Washington dined with Theodore Roosevelt, the first time a black man had been invited to a White House social function. Whites protested that the White House had been defiled thereby reminding Washington that no matter how far black people had come, they still had a long way to go.
The first two decades of the twentieth century were years of self help. Not only did Booker T. Washington offer advice, so also did a professor named W.E.B. DuBois, who wrote the classic volume The Soul of Black Folk (1903). DuBois and other intellectuals formed the Niagara Movement which called for full equality for blacks in American life. The movement would evolve in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the premier civil rights organization in the United States.
Many blacks seized the day and achieved new heights. In 1905, Madame C.J. Walker developed a method for straightening curly hair and became the nation's first black millionaire. At Tuskegee, George Washington Carver used peanuts and sweet potatoes to reinvigorate southern agriculture. The National Urban League was formed to assist blacks living in large cities. And in Atlanta, John Hope established Morehouse College, a premier institution for young black intellectuals. One of its most prominent alumni would be the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
The dark side of this social
progress was violence in northern cities. As African Americans moved north,
they clashed with northern racists. There were riots in Springfield, Illinois
in 1908, in East St. Louis in 1917, and on the south side of Chicago in
1919 among other cities. The struggle for equality was far from over.

| News & Tips: Services
No sooner are parents getting into the summer groove than it's time to start thinking about getting ready for the new school year. Even during the "relaxing" summer months, parents have much to account for: stocking up on school supplies, navigating back-to-school clothes shopping, coordinating bus schedules and for working parents, after-school care is another critical item that must be addressed.
Parents hiring an individual caregiver like a nanny or babysitter face what can be an overwhelming process. While their top priority is the safety of their children and the security of their home, before hitting the beach to enjoy the summer parents also have to figure out complicated legal, payroll and tax considerations. Because no one wants to start off the school year battling the IRS!
"Hiring a nanny requires many critical considerations from the very safety of your children to whether the person will be a good personality fit for your family. What's sometimes overlooked is that you have to also be aware of the rules and laws that apply to hiring a nanny. These legal considerations don't have to lead to added stress for parents already hustling to get their kids ready for the school year," said SurePayroll CEO and president Michael Alter. "Fortunately for parents, there are affordable online options that can make the process easier, from finding the perfect nanny to making sure their payroll is handled accurately, on-time and in compliance with federal and state laws."
Finding a reliable, trustworthy nanny and following the proper procedures to ensure compliance will give parents peace of mind that their children are in good hands as backpacks get zipped up for the first day at school.
Here's what you need to know:
1. Know what you want in your nanny. Create a detailed list of must-haves (schedule, disciplinary practices, experience with multiples, etc.) and a list of preferences on which you'd be willing to negotiate. Knowing your priorities will not only help you attract the right candidate, but also make the right decision.
2. Get a referral from someone you know and trust. Consult with family members, friends, teachers and colleagues to get recommendations for responsible nanny candidates.
3. Involve your children in the interview process. After all, they will be the ones interacting with your nanny the most. Make sure they are comfortable with their nanny.
4. This is a business relationship; don't allow yourself to slip into thinking you're chatting with a friendly acquaintance when interviewing nanny candidates. Be sure to ask all the tough questions about topics that are important to you.
5. Reputable selection services like SitterCity can help you identify and screen appropriate candidates. Be sure to utilize background checks, check several references and conduct personal interviews before making a final decision.
6. Agree to wages in advance and determine wages based on experience and competitive rates in your area. Nannies must be paid at least minimum wage for each hour worked and may be entitled to overtime.
7. Get your paperwork in order to avoid penalties, including the 1040-ES, a signature-ready Schedule H, the annual 1040, and W-2. If you pay a seasonal nanny more than $1,000 per quarter or $1,800 per year, you most likely need to pay the "Nanny Tax" (which includes Social Security, Medicare and the Federal Unemployment Tax).
8. Pay the nanny either with direct deposit or by check.
9. Payroll needs to be set up and provisions made to pay Social Security, Medicare, FUTA and other payroll taxes. Keep track of tax deductions, medical benefits and other insurance. Mistakes can be costly: Failure to pay the IRS nanny taxes can result in back taxes, penalties, interest and fines up to $25,000.
10. Set up an easy payroll system and pay your nanny according to federal and state labor laws. Consider working with an online payroll provider like SurePayroll to manage the pay, tax and filing to ensure compliance.

The College Heights Lemon Packing House is the last visible link to Claremont's pioneering history in the citrus industry. While largely perceived as a college town, Claremont's major source of income until after the World War II was the citrus industry. In addition, Claremont was the site of the state's first citrus cooperative. The California Fruit Growers' Association was formed in 1893 (only six years after the town was founded) in order to give its eleven growers greater control over their produce. In a town founded on cooperative ventures -- the building of 6 colleges, a Community Church which would house 40 different denominations, a cooperative water system, many voluntary associations, and a volunteer fire department -- it seemed natural for new citrus growers led by Peter Dreher to work together to boost their profits. They drew up a procedure whereby all their fruit would be graded and packed under expert supervision and marketed directly with established wholesalers in the east. This first association soon grew to three in Claremont; the largest one being College Heights Orange and Lemon Association, which had two packing houses along the Santa Fe tracks. The early Claremont Association also had the added distinction of sending the first direct shipment of California citrus to Europe in April 1893. In May, one box of these fruits reached Queen Victoria in time for her birthday. In the twentieth century, the College Heights Association was also a pioneer in shipping citrus to Japan.
The Packing House was also the direct point of contact with growers for most of the activities associated with citrus production. In addition to its regular functions of grading, packing, storing, shipping (and production of those citrus labels which are now collectors' items), many packing houses such as this one also performed other orchard services for growers, including the sale of oil for smudge pots, pruning, fumigating and spraying. The owner of this lemon house, the College Heights Orange and Lemon Association, even built a small "company town" of twelve houses just north of its orange Packing House to house Mexican field workers and their families. These concrete block houses were destroyed in the 1960's to make way for the Claremont city yard. However, as one of two Claremont barrios, it brought Mexicans into the life of the town, and many of the distinctive stone structures which dotted the citrus ranches-barns, pump houses, and ranch houses were built by skilled Mexican stone masons.
The College Heights Lemon Packing House is a long rectangular, two-story warehouse with a full basement built in stages from 1909 through 1946. Its function was to receive, process, store, then pack and ship the lemons grown by members of the College Heights Orange and Lemon Association who owned the building. Originally built of wood with a gable roof and attached sheds, it was enlarged and modified in 1922, 1931, 1934 and 1946, until it reached its present dimensions and appearance. The current building had (up until 2002, when the west wing was demolished) four distinct sections made of hollow clay tile, concrete, corrugated metal, and wood slats. It now has two sections, but it retains much of the same appearance it had at the height of citrus activity in this area (1920s-1950s) with some minor exterior and interior alterations. It still stands on the north side of the Santa Fe (now Metrolink) railroad tracks where the lemons were loaded into boxcars for shipment to Eastern markets.
The largest part of the current building is the long, central section, which has hollow-clay tile construction on the south, east, and west, and a corrugated metal and wood facade on the north. This section has three rows of saw-tooth roofing with skylights facing north. On the interior of this section is a large mezzanine extending 74 feet from the north side of the building. It is visible from the exterior as a slight overhang on the north facing platform with a row of multi-light windows set into the corrugated metal siding (the windows are currently boarded up). These windows and the skylights provide the only outside light for this large central section. Below this corrugated metal overhang, on the exterior, are sliding wooden doors and a wooden platform. Structural steel supports, and diagonal roof bracing are visible throughout the long, open interior of this central section, built in 1922 with the mezzanine added in 1946. It replaced the small wooden sheds of the original 1909 Packing House.
In this central section, lemons were unloaded from their field boxes at the north platform, put on conveyer belts to be washed and graded, wrapped, packed in crates, and loaded into railroad cars off the southern loading dock where there are large wooden doors. It was the hub of activity. In the basement, lemons were stored as long as five months, and when this storage area proved inadequate, the wings on either side were constructed (an east wing still remains).
In 1972, packing operations ceased and the building was sold. Citrus ranches were vanishing and giving way to tract housing through the entire area. Since that time, the Packing House equipment has been removed, but the interior spaces, which were very simple, have not been greatly altered. Under the mezzanine, spaces were partitioned for storage and rental, but these partitions have been removed. Through the 1980's, the building was used as a warehouse facility until it was purchased by the Claremont Redevelopment Agency.
Significant interior features that remain are the two large freight elevator shafts between the mezzanine and first floor, the heavy red metal fire door between the central and east storage wings, and the scale set into the floor next to this door. In addition, is the mezzanine itself and the exposed steel supports of the central section, which impress the viewer by their slender strength and openness.
