Michael's route out of Sumlin's doghouse comes to crossroads
Updated 11:57 pm, Tuesday, September 25, 2012
COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M running back Christine Michael, one of the Aggies' few five-star recruits over the past decade, is at a crossroads in his college career — four games into his senior season.
Michael has two choices, starting with Arkansas on Saturday: fasten his chinstrap and play as his new coaches demand, or simply fade into the background while younger players earn the valuable carries in Southeastern Conference play.
"We'd like to get him more involved as we go," offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury said Tuesday. "We'll see if that happens."
In a prime example of the tough love Michael's tutors are showing him early this season, first-year coach Kevin Sumlin said Tuesday that Michael, who former coach Mike Sherman once said had bouts of immaturity, is currently the team's "third back" behind junior Ben Malena and freshman Trey Williams.
"We've got three good backs, and I've said from Day 1 that all three were going to play," Sumlin said. "Christine hasn't made it through a full season in the last (two) years. He needs the other two backs to play, and we need it from a team standpoint because of his injury issues."
Sports Channel
Sumlin shrugged off any suggestion that Michael's blocking in particular must improve for more playing time.
"The line of questioning is headed down the wrong road regarding performance," Sumlin said. "It's hard for you to perform if you're not at the game."
Michael, along with safety Steven Campbell, missed A&M's 48-3 whipping of SMU on Sept. 15 after the duo was suspended for "violating team rules." Michael posted on his Twitter account during the game, "Man run the ball," and Sumlin later said he had a "conversation" with Michael about the tweet.
Michael wasn't made available to the media Tuesday. He didn't play until the second half of last Saturday's 70-14 hammering of South Carolina State because, as Sumlin said, he's the team's "third back." The coach also said Malena will earn the start (for the third straight game) against the Razorbacks. A year ago, Michael rushed for 230 yards in the Aggies' 42-38 loss to Arkansas, tying for third-best in history by an A&M back in a game.
"It has no bearing on this year," Sumlin said of Michael's impressive showing last season against the Razorbacks.
This season, Michael has 59 yards on 20 carries. Freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel leads the team in rushing with 262 yards on 38 carries. Michael did carry the load among the running backs in the opener against Florida, a 20-17 loss, prior to his apparent off-field team rules violation.
"He had (13) carries in that first game," Sumlin said. "Twice as many as any other running back when you play three."
Michael (5-foot-11, 220 pounds) is by far the biggest runner of the trio, as Malena and Williams are each 5-8 and 195 and 185, respectively. Michael's size and strength are things the Aggies know they'll need to keep their running game humming, with the meat of SEC play ahead.
"'C-Mike' brings intensity, and he runs the ball angry," senior receiver Uzoma Nwachukwu said. "He's running it to prove a point."
Meanwhile, his coaches appear bent on proving their own point — and perhaps it's working. Michael has deleted his Twitter account — just in time for his final appearance against Arkansas.

FIREFIGHTERS in Worcester will take part in more strikes over pensions which the fire minister branded "unnecessary".
Firefighters in the city will join colleagues across England, Scotland and Wales in further industrial action, the Fire Brigades Union has announced. English and Welsh firefighters will strike on Friday, May 2, between noon and 5pm, Saturday May 3, between 2pm and 2am and on Sunday May 4, between 10am and 3pm.
There will also be a ban on voluntary overtime across England and Wales from 3pm on Sunday, May 4 until noon on Friday, May 9.
A Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service spokesman confirmed strikes will result in "a significant reduction of the service's available resources" and the most urgent calls will be the priority.
Area commander Keith Chance, head of operations support for Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, said: "While the industrial action is on-going we will still be responding to 999 calls, but we will be asking members of the public to take extra steps to reduce the risk of a fire breaking out in their home."
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: "Several members of government were only too keen to praise firefighters during the winter floods, but their words amount to nothing when they simultaneously ignore issues that threaten the future of firefighters and their families."
Negotiations between the FBU and the Department for Communities and Local Government have been taking place for three years. Since the last strike on January 3, both the union and government have undertaken work examining financial, technical and legal issues.
Fire Minister Brandon Lewis said: "By calling unnecessary strike action, the FBU has shown it is not serious about finding a resolution to this dispute for its members and stands only to further damage firefighters' standing with the public.
"The deal on the table gives firefighters one of the most generous pension schemes in all the public sector, and the proposals protect the earned rights of a higher proportion of members than any other public sector scheme."
Nearly half will see no change and even firefighters who are not protected will see no change until 2015. Under the new scheme, a firefighter who earns £29,000 will still be able to retire after a full career aged sixty, get a £19,000 a year pension, rising to £26,000 with the state pension. An equivalent private pension pot would be worth over half a million pounds and require firefighters to contribute twice as much."

THOUSANDS turned out for the Poole Festival of Running at Poole Park.
The annual event attracts everyone from international athletes to young children and fun-runners.
Check out all the pictures in our gallery from all the races here
It sprung into life at 10am with a series of one mile and 1.5mile minithons for children aged between eight and 14.
Charlotte Brook, a student at Castle Court School, kicked things off by winning the girls' minithon for those aged eight and nine, before Christchurch Junior School's Finn Pardy took the crown for the corresponding boys' event.
Heidi Taylor, of Baden Powell Runners, won a tense girls minithon for ages ten and 11 by just one second.
Josh Jack, 11, who attends Castle Court but was competing for Cool Blues, won the boys' event for ten and 11 year-olds.
Grace Copeland, from Bournemouth Collegiate School, finished 29 seconds ahead of her nearest rival in the girls minithon for ages 12 to 14 before Dominic Willimore, of Cool Blues, won the corresponding boys event.
This was followed by a fun run for children aged eight and younger, the Dorset Cancer Centre 5k and the showpiece event - the Poole 10k race.
Families and friends of the participants lined the road and cheered on the runners as a commentator announced the winners over a loud speaker system.
There was also a bouncy castle, games and stalls to keep everybody entertained.
One of the festival's organisers, Lynda Adby, project officer for recreation and development at the Borough of Poole, said the day had been a huge success and was delighted with the large number of people who had come out to support it.
"I think it has been a fantastic day and everybody has really enjoyed it," she added. "We have had about 450 children take part and more than £12,000 has been raised for a great cause."
Lisa McGaw, who travelled from Verwood to attend, watched as three-year-old daughter Jessica competed with cousin Abigail, six, in the fun run.
"It is a much larger event than I thought it was going to be," said Lisa. "It is Jessica's first race. She was really excited about taking part when she got up this morning and has been having a lot of fun."
Three generations of the same family, led by 82-year-old grandmother Lyn Plumpton, took part in the Dorset Cancer Centre 5k run.
Lyn said she has been running for as long as she can remember and was proud that daughter Maryanne Hellewell and 15-year-old granddaughter Rosie were joining her to help raise money for a charity so close to her heart.
The Dorset Cancer Centre 5k was won by Jon Fairs in 16 minutes 34 seconds, with Joanne Dominey winning the women's contest in 19 minutes 18 seconds.
The day culminated in the much anticipated 10k Poole run, which was won by Kenyan Boniface Kiprop Kongin in 30 minutes 33 seconds, who beat second place Bournemouth runner Steven Way by 60 seconds.
Galleries from the different runs will be available on the Daily Echo website on Monday morning

When I could not make it work very well I wrote him. below I've inserted the essence of our email exchange.
The common wisdom is that you do chattering someplace beyond leather hard. Obviously, from your YouTube videos "Chattering Surface Texture Technique on Tall Forms - Potter's Wheel Demo" and "Chattering technique on flat form - pottery surface texture ". You make it work quite spectacularly with freshly thrown soft clay. I have tried to emulate your chattering of soft clay, with no luck.
What's the secret to making chattering work on soft clay.
The "knobs" are:
1) Wheel speed
2) Pressure of spring metal on clay
3) Resistance of clay (how soft or hard)
4) Length of vibrating spring metal measured from point of contact with the clay to where it is held.
With he above variables, the frequency or wave length is set and the most difficult part is to start the vibration. Play with all variables until you feel slight vibration. When you sense the first tiny vibration, release the pressure a bit until the vibrations is amplified and the sound gets louder and louder.
I think the key is in his last sentence. I still can't get it to work all the time but occasionally I have had some pretty good luck.

Is this Chattering??
Yes, wheel speed matters. But to get really nice designs I focus on tool angle.
Haven't seen such distinct spiralling pattern. Stopping on reaching bottom of each spiral but then how to 're enter ' for the next chatter???
Posted 19 September 2014 - 08:37 AM
Looks similar to what is done with the Steve Tool.
Posted 19 September 2014 - 06:02 PM
Chattering soft clay then opening vessel to emphasis the spiral??
Posted 04 October 2014 - 03:04 PM
I too love the piece you posted. It looks like you fluted the pot and then did the chattering down each fluted channel.
Can you make sense of what I just said?
I am trying to understand how you managed that lovely design.(Step by step, I am indeed a newbie )
Posted 06 October 2014 - 08:04 PM
Thank you, Brian Reed. I found your video to be very clear, very helpful.

Chattering is cutting clay away with a sharp edged tool which is happening at a particular frequency: the tool cuts then jumps up in a somewhat controllable vibration pattern. It's the vibration thaty makes the buzzing sound on drier pots. You (somewhat) control the frequency by how firmly you hold the tool. If you tightly/firmly hold the tool end, you are lowering the bounce & increasing the frequency at which the tool contacts the pot, so your marks will be closer together. If you loosen your grip a tad, you are allowing the tool to bounce away from the pot more, and decreasing the frequency at which the tool meets the pot. This will lead to more widely spaced chop marks.
Texture tools do not, by their nature, change the frequency of mark: frequency here is determined by the width of the teeth marks on the edge of the die, first, and second, by whether you push the clay out from the inside of the pot after marking. The more you push fom the inside and expand the clay wall, the more the marks will separate, thereby decreasing the frequency in the finished pot. Texture tools are impressing their marks into the clay, and are usually used when the clay is very wet/being thrown.
Chattering tools can be used at any time. If you use them when the surface is very wet/being thrown, your marks are soft and more apt to smoosh the clay around on the surface. If you continue to throw from there, you'll begin to get a spiral in the chatter marks because you are still moving the clay body around from the inside and torquing the pattern. If you have a leather hard pot on the moist side, you'll get sharper cut marks, and you can get some fairly low frequency patterns because the tool can still bite into the wetter clay surface. If the clay is pretty dry, the chatter will almost always be high frequency with finer indentations into the clay surface, just because the clay won't allow the tool to dig in as much.
It's super fun. Try any tool you have, and if you can't get the tool to bounce, then sharpen your tool and hold it at least at a 90 degree angle perpendicular to the surface. Longer handles/tools make it easier as well. Metal banding strap are very hard to find (since most straps are now plastic), but you can still get them from places that ship brick or rocks or heavy tiles for floor installations. Only metal will keep that stuff on pallets for shipping.

Imagine the late Raymond Loewy, famous for his work in the streamline movement during the middle 1900s (remember the 1953 Studebaker Starliner coupe and the bullet-like locomotive he designed for the Pennsylvania Railroad?), stooped over his drawing board drawing his interpretation of a Bunker & Ellis commuter/cruising boat. The result quite likely would have resembled this Zeelander Z68.
How anyone who sees the Z68 in profile could resist the allure of her oh-so-subtle S-shape sheerline is beyond me. It made me think of a seductive 1930s film star draped over a chaise—and I don't mean Clark Gable. The clipper bow and rising spray rail just above the waterline add to the impression. And the transom—whew is all I'll say about that.
The Z68 is fairly tall, but the designers have disguised this nicely by cutting hawse holes and scuppers into the bulwarks at deck level. The shiny rubrail, in addition to being practical, divides the profile in nearly equal parts, reducing our perception of bulk. Although the vertical portlights along the topsides almost disappear within the dark paint, they still add visual interest to the profile. I especially like the vents amidships.
Zeelander had wisely eschewed the common swim/boarding platform slung off the transom in favor of a wide tailgate, shod in natural teak. Four wide teak steps, each bathed in light from the step above, hide behind the gate. "Where's the garage?" you ask. It's under the crowned section of the foredeck, which lifts hydraulically to reveal a tender, PWC, and the davit to launch and retrieve them.
Builders in the Netherlands have earned a well-deserved reputation for fine joinerwork, and Zeelander is a member of that club. Inside the Z68, we find the finest woods, varnished to dizzying depths. Soft leather and fabrics in rich neutral tones grace the overheads, settees, and berths.
As you may have guessed, Zeelander works with a number of skillful interior designers to give its customers the ambience they want to create an heirloom yacht.

About the Book
I pursue photography as an opportunity to investigate the threshold at which ordinary visibility ends and perception begins.
Portraits: Faces and Profiles of Utility is an ongoing collection of photographs of barns and corn cribs on the Iowa landscape begun in 2006.
"The images of these structures are stark and beautiful, yet filled with sadness" - File Magazine
This project is influenced by the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher in so far as the work explores similar "themes of typology in basic forms"1 of farm buildings – primarily corn cribs and livestock barns of the Iowa landscape. Conscious effort is applied to find a vantage point that lends the appearance of a scientific, objective depiction of the objects either in a portrait or profile elevation view with titles given in a documentary style.
Often, the subject matter of barns and cribs is portrayed as little more than a photographic cliché. Countless photographs merely interpret the structures in a provincial and subjectively popular "postcard and calendar" manner. The images become empty symbols signifying nothing more that sentimentality and nostalgia. Nothing is more depressing to me than to see an old barn falling down.
I try to picture them differently to explore them as sculptures. I am interested in them as figure and ground as it relates to perception.
The approach I employ is to find a subject that can be depicted in a descriptive manner that includes a sense of the surrounding isolation of the object not yet abandoned. I welcome the nuance of lighting, of color, of texture and of isolation which feeds a perception. I include as much ground as can be balanced with figure to bring focus to the icon 2 upon the landscape.
By avoiding a quaint picturesque, my images seek to expand upon an objective depiction to present iconographic portraits. It is with this approach that I hope to portray something in addition to starkness and sadness. I have a certain in-bred affinity for these objects. They have become more than just buildings. I have an attachment to them. I feel defiance and see character expressed by simply standing strong. Like certain aspects of our cultural beliefs about the Midwestern farmer, I find the barns and cribs to be truly stoic figures in a changing cultural landscape. It is my hope the pictures say it better than my words.
1. Susanne Lange: "The History of Style – Industrial Buildings" in Bernd & Hilla Becher Basic Forms of Industrial Buildings, pages 8 and 9. A similar attitude towards minimal and conceptual art is employed to explore the formal attributes of the subjects in the photographs of barns and cribs conceptually viewed as sculptures on the landscape. The objects take on other meanings when viewed in the context of actual utility value and perceived cultural value. (Witness the Barn Quilt projects in Iowa – where these structures are embodied with pride as symbols of the family farm whose walls are like gallery walls for a family's coat of arms). These attributes attached to agrarian utility, originally purely functional objects, questions the status of utility object and art object.
2. definitions of "icon" in Merriam-Webster online
"Etymology: Latin, from Greek eikOn, from eikenai to resemble
1: a usually pictorial representation:
5a: a sign (as a word or graphic symbol) whose form suggests its meaning"

Well, it's been an insanely long time since my last blog post. But I have a (pretty legitimate) excuse.
I got to experience my first broken bone in the beginning of January this year. I broke and fractured my leg, went through surgery and was destined to spend the next couple months on my couch, bed and eventually crutches. Needless to say, I wasn't able to do what I love for quite some time. But, I picked up a few photo books and furthered my education and inspiration in photography while I was making my recovery.
I've since been back on my feet and have made an excellent recovery. I can't express how great it feels to have a camera back in my hands again. I've had quite a few shoots lately, so I'll share a couple of my favorite ones in this post.
Last weekend I got to work with one of my favorite groups of people again — The Angela Marie Project. I've photographed these cats a couple times previously, one of those times being at the Annual Earth Day celebration in Downtown Spokane. They contacted me and arranged for me to shoot the Earth Day gig again.
But that's not all.
I was offered the amazing opportunity to provide them with a shot for their upcoming album to be released this summer! You'll have to wait in suspense on the album shots, however, as I won't be posting them until after the album is released.
Here are some of my favorites from their Earth Day gig. It was a bloody, good time — literally — their guitarist sliced his finger open on a broken string halfway through the show, toughing it out and playing through the rest of the set without skipping a beat.
It's always a blast to photograph these guys and you just can't beat shooting outdoors in 70-degree sunshine in April. I want to give a huge thank-you to The Angela Marie Project for continuing to provide me with awesome opportunities to work with them. They're a great group of people and terrific musicians. Give them a listen sometime if you haven't yet!
I also had a really cool shoot recently with Albert Hurt of Silver Bullit Cafes. Al builds "cafe-racer" style motorcycles and hired me for a shoot of his pride and joy he just finished up – a Kawasaki KZ1000. I can't describe just how awesome of a job Al did with this bike so I'll just let the photos speak for themselves. His attention to detail is incredible and this is truly a one-of-a-kind bike.
The photos will eventually be used to help sell the bike to its lucky new owner; however, since the bike is so rare and unique it is being featured in various online motorcycle publications. I feel very fortunate to not only take part in such a cool photoshoot, but to also get worldwide exposure with my photographs on top of it is just simply amazing. So far, the bike is published in Pipeburn magazine and Silodrome.
Here are a few shots of the bike taken at Industrial Park in Spokane, WA:

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill. — An experimental drug regimen under development by AbbVie could change the way hepatitis C is treated, according to a special designation it received from the Food and Drug Administration.
AbbVie said the FDA granted breakthrough therapy designation to its direct-acting antiviral, or DAA combination drug therapy consisting of three drugs, which go under the code names ABT-450/r, ABT-267 and ABT-333, with or without the common antiviral drug ribavirin. The agency uses breakthrough therapy designation to promote expedited development and review of drugs for serious or life-threatening conditions that have the potential to significantly improve treatment. The drug is part of a therapy regimen that would allow for elimination of interferons, biotech drugs for hepatitis C that, while effective, also carry harmful side effects.
The drug currently is in phase-3, or late-stage clinical development, and the FDA designation was granted on the basis of results from a phase-2b trial titled "Aviator," in 571 patients.
The drug maker said that after 12 weeks of treatment, a high rate of patients who had not received treatment for hepatitis C before or who had failed treatment with combination interferon and ribavirin therapies had shown high sustained viral response, or SVR rates, essentially meaning they were cured. This included 99% of those who had not received treatment and 93% of those who had failed interferon-ribavirin treatment, with only one relapse and four of the 247 patients treated for 12 and 24 weeks with triple DAA and ribavirin dropping out due to harmful side effects.

For practical based activities like ride leading or instructing we learn by practically delivering the activity. Our trainers are skilled in helping participants develop their own skills. Using the actual activity helps put the context into learning points and of course provides lots of opportunities for practise and supporting feedback to continue the development of your skills. Cycling UK aims to make as much of the course as possible practical through application exercises, even when in the classroom. We will not talk 'at' you.
We integrate the principles of 'what leaders/ instructors need to do' with 'how to do them', and reinforce these with why and where these principles should be used.
Your involvement
These principles have resulted in a very fluid course, taking account of your needs and requirements which operates within a framework to fulfil the requirements of the course outcomes. You will be expected to contribute your skills, experience and knowledge throughout the course to aid your and others' leader development.
All aspects of the course apply new or existing knowledge to mountain biking situations, hence if you have knowledge of a particular aspect (e.g. navigation) from other activities, the course will help you put it into a mountain biking context.
Although we aim to modify each course specifically to meet your needs, where you have substantial knowledge of a particular subject (e.g. you are a bike shop mechanic) you may already know and understand some areas of the course. In this situation, please bear in mind others on the course who do not have this knowledge, and continue to develop yourself by assisting them.

Sept. 1 brought about the opening of dove season, but also brought something we needed in June and July — rain. I know that cut down the number of hunters that would normally have hunted that day, but the results I received have been mixed. I called over to the Hennepin Canal Parkway to check their harvest and it wasn't outstanding. On opening day, there were only two hunters and they got three birds.
At Mautino Fish and Wildlife Area, there were 20 hunters on Saturday and they harvested 84 birds, but the next day saw little action with only seven birds taken.
I also asked how the canal fishing was doing and the report there was: We have seen quite a few more boats on the canal, but no one has stopped by to report their luck.
We had several members of the PHS Sportsman's Club try their luck on opening day of dove season and I am happy to report they brought back limits. The trio of Cordell Kunkel, Austin Schindel and Nick Rolando braved the elements and each brought back a limit of doves. They hunted on a local farm. Garrett Costello and Turner Jamison traveled to Johnson Sauk Trail where the two of them limited out also. Kyle and Ryan Grieff and some friends tried another farm but only got a few.
I'm proud of all of these guys because the sport of dove hunting can be a humbling experience. Securing five limits proves they're pretty good shots. Nice going, guys.
Oct. 1 will be the opening of the deer archery season There was a drawing this summer and all the spots are taken at the canal but you can still get a permit for Mautino's if you go online. Try dnr.state.il.us or Illinois Department of Natural Resources for info.
I know I'm jumping a little ahead, but the Ducks Unlimited banquet will soon be here. I'll give more info next time. But while I talked to Brett Brown the other day, he described the main attraction shotgun to me and it sounds like a dream. Since DU is celebrating its 75th anniversary, they have chosen a Browning Maxus and Brett said the etching is just fabulous. He told me he had never seen such a beautiful gun. I can't wait to see this fine firearm.
I am seeking info from hunters as to how they have done with squirrels and early season duck and goose hunting. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Pictures appreciated also.

Thanks Guy! All together we can find the vision.
Thanks for the invite! I look forward to following your comments.
Good morning, sign me up. It should be a journey full of education and experiences. Thank you for the invitation!
Dennis Boxdorfer
Will do, Guy, I will repost that (I just requested to join the group) with a bit of elaboration if you don't mind. Something to do with your entire theme of "un", because I think it's an important basic distinction (and worthy of an early post on your forum) whether you are internalizing the term "Frustrated Entrepeneur" as reality (true frustration that people here can help with) or an excuse (using frustration as a rationale for not doing something).
Hence I really like your profile pic next to the title, a bit of subliminal play on words. Something like, "What would you be like or do if you were a completely "un-Frustrated Entrepeneur?", although that is not something to directly aspire to. :^)
Thanks Guy for the connection. I am a 'born-again' entrepreneur, I did my own business at 28 which lasted 3 years and I served well, but was not so wise in the ways of business (became a big fan afterwards of Michael Gerber). Now at 41 after trying to work for someone else's dreams, I want to pursue my own again.
My challenge currently is 'the jump', going from salary-slave to full-blooded consultant with no reserve funding nor a financial safety net. Plus I have just a few small remaining mental blocks to work through. But I know a breakthrough is coming soon, and I am relishing it, but also feel I need to make it happen.
Good Morning Guy!
I appreciate your invite, and gratefully accept. I am searching for solutions for a product that I have. My product is in prototype form, but I have yet to nail down a solid manufacturer. I did have a domestic manufacturer quote at one time, but they have since pulled back their offer.
As an entrepreneur, one of the most frustrating parts of bringing a product to market is knowing where to find good advice for your future direction. I have gone through the cycle of using my personal money until it is exhausted, shelving the idea until I have more discretionary money, then repeating the cycle. Each time, I get a little further, but I never seem to crest "the peak," so that I am gaining momentum rather than losing.
This roller coaster effect may be a function of the people I surround myself with, the circumstances, or just plain ME. I can visualize my product in its packaging on the shelf in stores, but I find few partners who have the enthusiasm that I have to see this product come to fruition. I have shown this product to the target market, and they get excited.
My biggest hurdle is that the product would require licensing to achieve its greatest potential. That is not to say there are no other ways around the hurdle, but finding a suitable secondary market is a lot for one person to handle. I am the guy who wears all the hats, and between lack of financial support, and a partner that holds me accountable, it has been difficult to make the necessary forward progress to feel like I am moving in the right direction.
I have very respectable prototypes that I have developed largely by myself. I have trademarks and a patent to protect my property rights. Last count, there were 75+ Million potential customers in the primary market, and who knows how many in the secondary market.
Quite simply, I need help. I need a "mastermind" group.
Hey Guy, thanks for the request! I am working hard to be able to work from home full-time! There's so much for me to learn! How about you, Guy, where are you at in the process?

Gov. Dave Heineman opened a health insurance exchange meeting Thursday by reminding the audience of 100 that hes not committed to drafting the healthcare exchange until after the November election.
Heineman and other Republicans hope to see President Obama voted out of office and the subsequent repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
Nov. 16 is the date when states are supposed to submit blueprints for health exchanges.
Based on the testimony from a health exchange meeting Tuesday, Heineman said, Everyone wants someone else to pay for it, and thats not possible.
Heineman hosted health insurance exchange meetings on Tuesday that heard from health care advocates and industry professionals.
Thursdays meeting heard from health insurance providers.
Health insurance exchanges are part of the Affordable Care Act signed into federal law in March 2010. The law requires states to draft their own exchanges within federal guidelines, or create a joint federal-state plan or rely on the federal government to create a plan.
These exchanges are intended as a shopping site for people and companies who do not currently have health insurance.
Thursdays meeting heard from CEOs of three Nebraska insurance companies: Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare and Coventry.
All three were proponents of the state-based exchange.
William Tracy, the CEO of United Healthcare of the Heartland, began a theme that echoed throughout the discussion: We dont have all the information to make decisions.
There are regulatory questions about each exchange. While the three on the panel support a state-based exchange, they all questioned who would regulate the federal government or the state -- and what would be covered.
When Steve Martin, CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield, asked the governor to fight for Nebraskas sovereignty the best he can in terms of regulation, Heineman insisted, We lost sovereignty the day they introduced this bill.
We have to go on bended knee to Sec. (of Health and Human Services Kathleen) Sebelius and ask, oh, is this OK? before we are able to do anything, he said.
The Department of Health and Human Services distributed a Blueprint for Approval of Affordable State-based and State Partnership Insurance Exchanges in May, and a final updated copy was sent out in early August.
The blueprint provides details of options available under a state-based exchange, as opposed to a federal-based exchange.
All three CEOs agreed that it may not be possible to get all the exchanges up and running when enrollment opens in October 2013.
Michael Nelson, CEO of Coventry, said his company would be able to meet the deadline because its their business to be ready. When earlier provisions of the Affordable Care Act required insurance companies to extend group coverage to unwed children under the age of 26, allowing them to remain on their parents insurance, Nelson said the deadlines were tight, but they were able to make it happen.
Repeating recommendations made at Tuesdays meeting, the insurance representatives suggested state funding for the state's CHIP program as a source of revenue to operate the new exchange. This program is the Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool, which provides health insurance to Nebraskans who cannot obtain it otherwise.
According to the Nebraska Health Association, the CHIP program will be phased out once the insurance exchanges are in place.
Additional state health exchange meetings will be held Sept. 10 in Omaha on and Sept. 12 in South Sioux City.

Pensioner Raymond Borzelli was so pleased when he found out he'd won $3000 in Tropfest that he yelled his thanks to the Hollywood actor who was giving him the cash.
Better Than Sinatra
Meet Raymond Borzelli - elderly pensioner with a passion for music.
"Thank you Shane Worthington!" the 86-year-old proclaimed. He really had no idea who Sam Worthington was.
Many Sydneysiders may be familiar with Borzelli, who two or three times a week takes a bus from his small flat in Balmain into the city to dance to the music of buskers.
And many more will get to know the elderly man's grooves after he featured in a documentary, Better Than Sinatra, which scooped second prize at Tropfest on Sunday.
In the six-minute documentary, Borzelli talks of the struggle living on a pension, and occasionally having to borrow "$10 out of one chap here and another chap $20" just to make ends meet. Tinned spaghetti is one of his staple meals.
But that doesn't dampen his passion for music, and each week he pulls on his Dunlop Volleys and visits the Pitt Street Mall, Hyde Park or any other place where buskers are playing. His jigs often leave the crowds smiling.
Unveiling the winners on Sunday night, Worthington chose to go off-script and offer an impromptu $3000 award to Borzelli, who sadly was not present for the ceremony at The Domain.
The 'dancing busker' - who doesn't collect money for his routines - will receive his cheque for "best personality". But he did not turn up to the ceremony on Sunday night, sparking a city-wide hunt for him.
Better Than Sinatra director and producer Jefferson Grainger said he tried desperately to track down Borzelli on Sunday.
"We lost him yesterday. We were like, 'Where in the world is he?'," Grainger said.
"We had cops searching CCTV footage for all the busking sites in the city. We had people in Pitt Street and Darling Harbour looking for him, and Hyde Park, and people at his house, banging on his door.
They're on their way to meetings, they stop to watch him and their faces light up. It's an amazing sort of contagious vibe that he puts out there
"And he was asleep. He had already had a big day of dancing and he said he had to look after his health so he crashed in bed."
On Monday morning Grainger was able to contact Borzelli, who thanked "Shane Worthingon." He also shed a tear when he realised he was front-page news and had won $3000.
Borzelli tried to split the money with Grainger, an offer which he politely declined.
"You see films that have got millions of dollars thrown at them and you walk away feeling nothing, and this one was made for $125, which is what I paid him. I gave it to him out of my pocket, said 'It's my day off, let's just go out'. He just likes talking to people.
"He [Borzelli] tried to give me my money back. When I told him about Sam Worthington, he wanted to split it with me.
"It's not tainted by anything. There's no agenda. He's just real."
Grainger said he came across Borzelli one day as he was attempting to shoot a time-lapse sequence in the Pitt Street Mall.
The pensioner kept dancing into it and ruining the shot, Grainger said.
"I'm like 'Wait a minute - he is the better shot', and then I filmed him dancing then, I just had my camera on," Grainger said.
"Raymond is a legend, an enigma, but he really does exist. He goes into the city two or three times a week when it's sunny and he dances to buskers and people stop, busy people. They're on their way to meetings, they stop to watch him and their faces light up. It's an amazing sort of contagious vibe that he puts out there. He doesn't get paid, the buskers don't know he's turning up."
One of Borzelli's favourite buskers is a Japanese man who plays the wooden flute in Hyde Park.
"He plays a lot of good old songs. I get up and I dance with him, but he never gives me any money. They're all bloody misers, they are," he says in the documentary.
Asked if he has missed his calling, Borzelli says: "Yes. I think I'm better than Sinatra.
"I've got more power, more masculinity and I'm taller. I'm better looking."

Elements of an IoT Solution
IoT is the evolution of machine-to-machine (M2M) technology and is the interconnection of devices and management platforms.
IoT connectivity represents great potential. It can automate decisions and be a catalyst for new products and services, but only when insights come from data collected through secure connections and trusted devices.
IoT can enable new business models and revenue streams by monetising device data through a scalable, modular, ubiquitous IoT platform that offers device and service management on premise or through the cloud.
Data flows from things to collection, analysis and storage. Insights derived from data analytics can be required in real time for immediate response or can be aggregated for later use.
For real-time insights, data processing should occur at its source. Computing at the edge reduces delay and avoids bandwidth consumption while transmitting data to the cloud or data centre.
HPE delivers the right amount of compute at the right place – whether at the edge for immediate insight, in the cloud or data centre – to efficiently power your IoT deployment.
The vast volumes of device data in the IoT must be protected from theft, modification and exploitation from the instant it is created. Security has to continue while data is in transit through the network, at rest in data stores and when in use by applications. HPE Enterprise Security Solutions provide effective countermeasures to IoT system owners – proactively and end to end.
Data-driven Insights
IoT technology produces data in volumes and levels of diversity that challenge traditional approaches to storage and processing. As a result, data scientists and developers are collaborating on new ways of extracting business insights hidden in huge troves of device data. You then benefit by seeing your IoT insights turn into business efficiencies, new customers and new revenue streams.
Partner Ecosystem
Our vast network of partners is at your disposal. Serving constantly-evolving requirements and stakeholders, IoT solutions need to tap into multiple technologies, including secure analytics applications. To work, IoT needs an ecosystem of companies enabled by education, tools and support from major technology providers like HPE.

"It did a happy dance in my mouth!" said my mother-in-law after tasting my pomegranate mojito cupcakes. I couldn't have said it better myself. But what kind of dance? I'd say a Lindy Hop. The sweetness of PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur combined with the tangy sourness of mint*, rum, and lime reminds me of a high energy couple bouncing around the dance floor, occasionally doing flips and throws to the thrill of the crowd (perhaps I have an overactive imagination).
Cooking With PAMA
I made these pomegranate mojito cupcakes as an entry into the Cooking with PAMA Contest. If I win When I win, I get to go to the Food and Wine Classic in Aspen! I wanted to wait until I had a cupcake that I really thought could win before entering – this pomegranate mojito cupcake is it!
Update: I didn't win. But, it was sure fun trying!
BTW – Isn't the PAMA bottle gorgeous! Jonathan couldn't resist taking its photo.
Pomegranate Mojito Cupcake Recipe

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
At about 11pm I accidentaly booked Leipzig-Nord instead of Leipzig-City, and literally after 3-4 minutes I realized this and called them to change the booking. They took 50€ from me, because "the cancellation request came after 7p.m." Stupid and selfish move from their side.
Easy to find by car with secure parking. Clean
Good position for travellers who want to stay just overnight, clean comfortable rooms, enough parking places. There was no restaurant in the hotel or nearby, we had to travel quite a long distance by a car.
the very friendly welcome and the uncomplicated way the hotel is run
Very good hotel, easy to reach.
Respectable hotel. Friendly personel.
Clean, very friendly staff, comfortable parking, overall great value for money! everything was fine, as advertised.
good service, good bed I miss refrigerator and to be able to boil water
Very close to a tram stop and in a quiet area
The B&B Hotel was easy to find, just off the motorway, the room was clean and spacious, the staff very helpful and friendly. Overall I was very impressed with my stay.
see above automated check in good idea but not easy to use

Willingham's double helps KC stretch Central lead
Former Twin sparks five-run fourth, while Escobar logs three RBIs
MINNEAPOLIS -- Josh Willingham made quite a splash in his return to the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Willingham drilled a three-run double to push Kansas City toward a 6-5 victory over his old club, the Minnesota Twins, with 32,013 fans witnessing his homecoming at Target Field. The win boosted the Royals' lead in the American League Central to 1 1/2 games over Detroit.
Alcides Escobar also knocked in three runs with a triple and a single.
The sizzling Royals have now won 19 of their last 23 games including 11 of their last 12.
"I knew it was going to be a little strange playing against your former team, but it is what it is," Willingham said. "I was just happy to help us win a game tonight."
Willingham, traded by the Twins to the Royals on Monday, came up with the bases loaded and none out in the fourth inning against right-hander Ricky Nolasco.
Maybe going to bat against a former teammate would be a help.
"I don't think so, we have scouting reports on all the pitchers that we face," Willingham said. "So it was just one of those things where I knew he was going to try to be aggressive in the strike zone and I was going to try to be aggressive. And I just happened to put a good swing on it and hit it hard."
First pitch and, bam, Willingham sent a rocket into the left-field corner to score all three runners and wipe out the Twins' 2-0 lead.
"Always as a hitter, you want to hit with runners on base and I knew that was a big spot for us, and I was just happy to come through," he said.
Salvador Perez had opened the inning with a double to left, Billy Butler singled sharply to right and Alex Gordon was hit by a pitch. After Willingham cleared the bases, Mike Moustakas got an infield single and both of them scored as Escobar lined a triple into the right-center gap.
"I thought I made some good pitches," Nolasco said. "It was just a little unfortunate the balls found holes. The main one was the one to Willingham. I'd like to have that one back. It was a fat pitch and I hung it. That's what good hitters do. They make you pay in RBI situations."
Nolasco then got three outs, but the Royals were up 5-2.
"Big night for Josh. That was a huge double to get us back in the lead," manager Ned Yost said. "Big night for Esky with three RBIs. Good night offensively for us."
Royals left-hander Danny Duffy yielded two runs in the third inning, largely because of his own wild throw. Eduardo Escobar and Jordan Schafer each singled, and Danny Santana dropped a nice bunt in front of the plate. Duffy grabbed the ball, but his eager throw was over Butler's head at first base and sailed away for a run-scoring error.
Schafer scored the second run as Brian Dozier grounded out.
Duffy gave up another run in the fourth inning when Trevor Plouffe doubled, took third on Kurt Suzuki's single and survived a pickoff throw by Perez and the subsequent instant replay challenge. Plouffe trotted home as Oswaldo Arcia grounded into a double play.
After one out and Kennys Vargas' single in the sixth, Duffy was relieved by right-hander Aaron Crow.
"I totally know why," Duffy said of Yost's move. "He's trying to save our arms and we had a fresh 'pen, and the 'pen's been outstanding all year. I had no problem with it. Did I want to stay in? Yeah, but you've got to look at the big picture and Skip made the right move."
Crow got an out, but Suzuki's single had Yost calling left-hander Francisley Bueno from the bullpen and he got Arcia for the third out.
Kelvin Herrera worked a 1-2-3 seventh inning and the Royals picked up an insurance run in the eighth. Gordon and Moustakas each singled and Escobar floated an RBI single to right against lefty Brian Duensing. That made the score 6-3 but, in the end, proved to be the winning run.
"I was looking for a fastball and I hit the ball right off the end of the bat," Escobar said. "I was looking for the ball. Where's the ball? It was right behind first base. That was a big hit. I liked that one better than the other one. That was a big run right there."
Wade Davis pitched past a double by Joe Mauer, who extended his hitting streak to 16 games, for a scoreless eighth. That extended Davis' string of scoreless innings to 19 2/3 innings.
Closer Greg Holland's ninth started with a walk to Suzuki, who scored as Arcia belted a double off the right-center wall and took third on Lorenzo Cain's throwing error. Holland got Escobar on a fly ball to left and pinch-hitter Chris Parmelee on a groundout to first that scored Arcia, slicing the margin to one run.
Then, Holland struck out Santana to notch his 37th save.

Otley secretary Marc Lawrence has warned his team of the necessity to compete for 80 minutes on a regular basis.
Having witnessed their 40-22 defeat last Saturday at Darlington Mowden Park in SSE National League Two North, he said: "There is no question about our fitness as our players were still going strong at the end while some of the Darlington players were out on their feet.
"And we scored 17 points late in the game but we seem to be chasing matches too often because of what we do in the first 60 minutes. The opposition seem to be hungrier than us then."
On Saturday, Otley are at home to Sheffield Tigers, and Lawrence said: "It might mean more to them as it is a Yorkshire derby but we just want to win the game."
Lawrence also paid tribute to prop Adam Blades, who has featured in 100 straight league clashes for Otley.
"I think it is 99 starts and one appearance on the replace-ments' bench after a trip to Dubai but it is some achievement and I have a lot of respect for Adam. He is a model professional."

Most San Luis Valley potato growers had enough water in 2012, but the longer-term prospects for the region are more uncertain.
Water availability weighs heavily on growers, said Trampas McCormick, manager of grower-shipper Worley & McCullough Inc., Monte Vista, Colo.
"With the water situation that Colorado and the valley are facing, you really have to watch acreage," he said. "There's a lot of uncertainty right now."
Marketers wring their hands when acreage rises nationwide and threatens to depress markets. But the San Luis Valley will likely do its part in coming years to keep acreage in check, thanks to water concerns.
"You're not going to see Colorado acreage jump," McCormick said. "You'll see it decline."
Had growers known where corn and wheat markets were headed this summer, they would have planted more of those crops and fewer potatoes, he said.
The water situation in Colorado has forced valley growers to adapt, McCormick said.
"You have to be proactive," he said. "Farmers do a lot of good things with sustainability, like changing nozzles," he said.
Growers also are reconditioning ground by growing other plants and disking them up later in the season, McCormick said. It's good for the land and uses a lot less water than potatoes.
Because of water concerns, wheat and other crops will be removed from production before more profitable potatoes, said, Jed Ellithorpe, a partner and marketing director of Center, Colo.-based Aspen Produce LLC.
"Potatoes will likely still have a big presence," he said. "Others with lower value would be cut first."
Acreage was projected to be up in the San Luis Valley this year. Drought was one of the factors (hail was the other) that kept it near last season's total of 57,000 acres.
"Some wells ran dry and fields had to be disked," said David Tonso, co-owner of Canon Potato Co., Center.
But the experiences of growers this season in the valley will be nothing compared to what happens in the future if not enough snow falls in the Rocky Mountains, Tonso said.
"It's a critical issue right now," he said. "We got some rains this summer, a little more than the past couple of years, but not near enough. We need more snowpack."
Growers have already made adjustments to prepare for upcoming shortages, Tonso said.
"We're watching real tight how much water we put on this crop," he said.
The water situation will affect which crops are grown the valley, Tonso said. Alfalfa and some other grains need more water than potatoes, but that doesn't mean potato acreage will go up if plantings of those crops declines.
"There will not be more potatoes grown in the valley next year," he said.
Most growers made it through the 2012 season with enough water, but the future is a different story, said Steve Tillman, manager of Monte Vista Potato Grower Co-op Association, Monte Vista.
"Water will be the issue over the next five years."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi praised former President George H.W. Bush as she spoke Monday evening on potentially hostile turf at the former president's government school at conservative-leaning Texas A&M University.
"It's a great privilege to spend President's Day with President George Bush," Pelosi said to applause. "His name and his presidency are synonymous with the word `civility."' She added that civility was "something badly needed" today.
Pelosi called Bush a "strong president, confident to speak of a kinder, gentler America." And she hailed him for his work with former President Bill Clinton, raising money for disaster recovery in Haiti and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. She also complimented his having the courage to skydive while in his 80s.
The California liberal was greeted warmly as she appeared to an overflow crowd of more than 600 people in what was billed as a conversation moderated by the George H.W. Bush School of Government's acting dean, Andrew Card. Card was deputy chief of staff during the Republican Bush's White House years and was chief of staff when Bush's son, George W. Bush was president.
George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, were in the front row at the event in College Station. Bush invited Pelosi to participate
The 71-year-old Pelosi lost her post as the nation's first female House speaker when the GOP took over the House in the 2010 elections. Pelosi's first full House term coincided with the elder Bush's election as president in 1988. Beginning 12 years later, when George W. Bush, went to the White House, she was in the Democratic leadership during much of his two terms. In 2008, as his second term wound down, Pelosi described the younger Bush as "a total failure" who had lost all credibility with the American people.
The Bush School of Government and Public Service regularly has hosted political leaders from the U.S. and abroad and A&M officials said it wasn't unusual for Bush to invite political adversaries. "Every now and then he throws a curve ball to keep it interesting," university spokesman Tom Hughes said. In 2008, Bush raised eyebrows when he selected frequent Bush critic, liberal Democratic U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, to receive an annual Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service. Other recipients of his award have included former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, former President Ronald Reagan and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

PHILADELPHIA – Like pretty much every team in the country, across all fall sports,the University of Pennsylvania field hockey team entered the 2013 season with a series of goals.
The Quakers likely achieved most of their goals.
Penn finished the 2013 campaign with a 13-4 record, a win total that has been beaten only one time (1988) and matched one other time (2004) in program history. The Quakers scored 57 goals, smashing the previous mark of 42 that was originally set in 1988-- did we mention that 1988 team made it all the way to the NCAA Championship semifinals? --and matched a year ago. At the other end, the Red and Blue shut out five opponents.
Perhaps most impressively, the Quakers christened a new field in the best of ways -- by playing a de facto Ivy League championship game on Ellen Vagelos C'90 Field's Astroturf surface in early November.
With Vagelos Field construction cutting into the early season, Penn opened the season with three road games and emerged from them with a 2-1 record after defeating Lehigh (5-4) and Saint Joseph's (5-2) and falling to Bucknell (2-1). Freshman Jasmine Cole announced her presence immediately, recording a hat trick against the Hawks in just her second collegiate game, while Carly Sokach made 12 saves in the Quakers' loss to the Bison. She would continue her hot play the rest of the season.
Penn's first game at Ellen Vagelos Field was a rollicking affair, a dramatic 4-3 victory over Cornell that opened Ivy League play. Cole again notched a hat trick, her second in four college appearances. The next day provided a stark contrast to the previous day's fireworks, as the Quakers rolled to a 7-0 win over Pacific. Three days after that, the Red and Blue completedtheir firstthree-game homestand at the new venue with yet another win, this time 3-2 over city rival La Salle.
Penn's first Ivy League trip took the Quakers to Harvard, and it was the Massachusetts resident Elizabeth Hitti who provided the offense in a 1-0 win over the Crimson. Sokach made 12 saves in the contest and earned Ivy League Player of the Week for her efforts.
Lafayette came to Vagelos Field for a midweek game, and smothered Penn to the tune of 4-0. The Quakers recovered in their next game, however, scoring five times including an overtime winner from junior Emily Corcoran that propelled Penn past Dartmouth, 5-4. Just three days later, Corcoran again provided the heroics in overtime as the Red and Blue avenged previous losses to Rider in extra time, 4-3. That was followed by a neutral-site win over Division I newcomer UMass-Lowell, 5-0.
The women in the program were dealing with a prosperity not seen in some time, so it was perhaps inevitable that after a few close calls they would get knocked off by an Ivy League foe. That happened on a Friday night at Columbia, where the Quakers blew a 3-1 lead and fell to the Lions in overtime, 4-3. Penn came back home, licked its wounds, andtook it out on Appalachian State two days later, 7-1.
Penn and Yale played a titanic game on October 26, even though no goals were scored in regulation or overtime. Sokach was simply unbelievable in the Penn cage, tying a career high with 15 saves. The teams went to a five-round shootout -- Penn's first in exactly 11 years -- where Hitti struck first before being matched by a Yale score. Senior Julie Tahan scored in the top half of the final round, but Sokach tripped Yale's fifth shooter to set up a penalty stroke for the Bulldogs. However, she stopped the penalty to give the Quakers the victory. Not surprisingly, Sokach was again named Ivy League Player of the Week.
Penn could see the prize at the finish line, and the Quakers gained one final non-conference win over Villanova -- senor Sunny Stirewalt scoring both of the goals -- before destroying Brown, 4-0. That set the stage for a game that no one (save the women in the locker room) could have foreseen at the start of the season: Penn vs. Princeton for the Ivy League title and league's NCAA Championship bid.
Princeton had played in these types of games before, and it showed. On the day Penn's new field was formally dedicated, in front of a crowd that surrounded the fencing around the turf, the Quakers gave the Tigers a run for awhile but ultimately fell to the defending national champions, 5-1. The loss put Penn at 5-2 in Ivy League play, good for second place behind the undefeated Tigers.
Penn finished the 2013 season sixth nationally in goals per game and seventh in winning percentage. Individually, Cole ended the season second nationally in goals per game (1.06) and fifth in points per game (2.29), while Corcoran was 14th in points per game (2.06) and 21st in assists per game (0.53). At the other end, Sokach ended her stellar campaign 11th nationally in save percentage (.776) and 13th in saves per game (7.12).
At the end of the season, the awards rolled in -- another sign that people in the know are recognizing the progress of this program. The freshman Cole and junior Corcoran were first-team and second-team All-Region selections by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA), respectively; the last time Penn had an all-region player of any sort was 2007, the last time a Quaker player got first-team all-region was 2005, and the last time two women were honored by the NFHCA in the same year was 2004.
Four women earned All-Ivy recognition, the first time Penn had that many first-team and second-team picks since 2007. Cole was the first player in program history to earn first-team All-Ivy as a freshman, and she was joined as a first-team pick by the junior goalkeeper Sokach. It marked the first time the Quakers had a pair of first-team selections since 2005. Cole also was the Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Penn's first since 2004 and just the second since 1985. Tahan and Corcoran were second-team All-Ivy picks by the Ancient Eight coaches.

Q & A — December 2002
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Open Check
| How to perform an open-circuit voltage test, save a
submerged outboard, and bleed air from a power steering system.
is the open-circuit voltage of a 12-volt battery, and how can you test
for it? V.L., via e-mail
To check the open-circuit voltage of your battery, first disconnect the battery cables so that no power is coming in or going out. Set your multimeter to read "DC volts" (for meters without auto ranging, set the scale to 20 volts), and touch the red (positive) probe to the positive battery terminal and the black (negative) probe to the negative terminal as shown here. If the reading is below 12.66 and the battery has been fully charged, one or more cells may be damaged or may have excessive sulfite buildup on its plates. A hydrometer test for each cell will determine which, if any, is bad. Placing the battery under an equalizing charge can remove sulfite buildup on the plates. Check with your battery manufacturer for the correct way to perform this procedure.
getting ready to transport our tender's outboard, it slipped into
the water. We retrieved it quickly but are worried about possible damage
from the saltwater submersion. What is the procedure for cleaning it up?
J.H., via e-mail
Now use the compressed air--in this case, canned air will do--to blow off water and residue from around the plug(s). Disconnect the plug wire(s) by twisting the boot back and forth while pulling; pulling on the wire instead of the boot may cause internal damage to the wire. If the plug is difficult to remove, apply penetrating oil--Liquid Wrench or WD-40--around the plug threads, and let it soak for about ten minutes.
the plug(s) with an appropriate socket wrench. Upon reassembly you should
replace them with new ones of the correct heat range and gap. Drain as
much water as possible from the power head by placing the outboard in
a horizontal position and manually rotating the flywheel with the spark
plug hole(s) facing downward. Next, pour rubbing alcohol into the carburetor
throat(s) to displace any water in the intake system. Manually rotate
the flywheel at least one full turn, then position the engine so you can
pour more rubbing alcohol into the spark plug hole(s). Manually rotate
the flywheel another full turn. You can now install the new spark plug(s).

Groene at the Legislature: Holding NRDs responsible

NFU urges smooth, transparent transition to Fair Trade framework
New interim executive director named for state brand committee

McCOOK, Nebraska -- The development of a mega water farm south of North Platte continues at a rapid pace.
The Nebraska Cooperative Republican-Platte Enhancement Project -- N-CORPE -- board approved the bid-letting process to build about 17 miles of pipelines from recently-purchased farmland in southern Lincoln County to the Republican and Platte rivers at a meeting Dec. 5.
The board hired engineers Miller and Associates of Kearney and HDR Inc. of Omaha.
Miller and Associates has already worked on preliminary plans for the project.
On. Dec. 4, N-CORPE closed on the purchase of the 19,500-acre Lincoln Farm (and Opplinger Farm before that) for $83 million.
The pipeline is estimated to cost $27-30 million, making the total cost around $110 million.
The board will retire all of the farm's 15,784 certified irrigated acres and send the water used previously for irrigation to the Republican River, to meet guidelines of the 1943 Republican River Compact, and to the Platte River, to meet guidelines of the 1997 Platte River Recovery Implementation Program.
Officials have said that less water will be pumped as part of the stream flow enhancement project than what otherwise would have been pumped had the ground remained in irrigated crop production. On the other hand, they have said that up to 15,000 acre feet of water can be sent annually to the Republican River -- about the same as irrigated crops would consume.
Chris Miller of Miller and Associates said bid specs for the south pipeline will be ready for bid letting in less than 10 days -- by Dec. 19.
The south pipeline will run water to the Medicine Creek and ultimately to the Republican River and Harlan County Dam, where Nebraska's compliance with the Compact and river flow into Kansas is measured.
The pipeline is expected to be running by June.
A second pipeline will run north to the Central Platte Power and Irrigation District canal west of Lake Maloney and then into the South Platte River. The target date water running in the Platte pipeline is 2014.
The Lincoln Farm consists of 117 center pivot irrigated crop fields.
Preliminary engineering plans for the pipeline indicate that 30 new wells will be dug with a common manifold to pump into the two pipelines.
The river augmentation plan is a joint effort of four Natural Resource Districts -- the Twin Platte and Upper, Middle and Lower Republican NRDs -- which are dividing the costs equally.
The plan will ostensibly be paid for with a $4-6 per acre occupation tax on irrigated acres.

If you are using CQ5.x you will notice that there is a confirmation dialog for deleting/deactivating pages in the WCM console. No such confirmation dialog is presented when you activate a page. In some projects it may be a requirement to present such a confirmation dialog for activation also.
You will have to overlay:
Create the same folder structure in apps and then copy the SiteAdmin.Actions.js node from libs to the same folder in apps. This will ensure the jcr:content node under the JS file is also copied.
Then edit the SiteAdmin.Actions.js from apps. You should replace the CQ.wcm.SiteAdmin.activatePage function with the lines (435-520) from this SiteAdmin.Actions.js file.
Ideally you should not not completely overlay the siteadmin.Actions.js as you might run into problems when a SP brings a new SiteAdmin.Actions.js with it. Instead just overlay the function you want to change. Use the clientlib approach and create a new JS file, attach it to the same clientlib as the SiteAdmin.Actions.js and redefine the function you want to change in that new JS file.
