Sciatica Exercises for Degenerative Disc Disease
We want to show you some of these exercises and how they're done because, looking at them on paper sometimes makes it difficult on understanding how to perform them yourself. So if you see someone doing them, you can actually follow along. We're going to start with degenerative disc disease and demonstrate those exercises now.
How to Perform a Pelvic Tilt
The first thing that's quite important to learn is a proper way to perform a pelvic tilt. Tilting the pelvis is very important because you need to be able to move the pelvis separate from the spine. So, the easiest way to do this is lying on your back with your knees bent up and think about pulling your bellybutton down towards your spine. Don't think so much about flattening the back against the floor, but more try to pull the bellybutton towards the spine and your back will automatically flatten towards the floor. So as you pull your bellybutton in, your pelvis will actually roll up towards your chest. This is a position you should hold while you are performing many of these exercises.
Hook Lying March Exercise
Again, begin by performing a pelvic tilt and now slowly raise one leg at a time, only an inch or two, and back down, back and forth. The goal here is to do this without rolling your pelvis side to side and if you lock your pelvis in position, it should stay fairly strait. You should be able to speak while doing these exercises so you are not overworking yourself. Once this exercise is done correctly, you can add a combination. Again, lock your pelvis into position and as you raise your left leg, drop your right arm down over your head. And then alternate back and forth. Here what you don't want to do is let your pelvis tilt back up and arch your back, so your back should stay relatively still while performing these exercises.
Bridging Exercise
Now for the bridging exercise, start in the same position – pelvis in position – and just think about raising your hips up in the air. As you do this, you should stay fairly straight through your trunk. The common mistake here is rolling your pelvis up first and coming up to the shoulders and then rolling back down. If done correctly, everything should leave the floor together and come back to the floor together. Notice at the top I am not arching up in the air. Try to remain as straight as possible.
Leg Raise Exercises
Then we are going to use the same pelvic position and roll onto our stomach and perform several exercises there. Now on your stomach, you are still going to pull your belly up towards your spine and lock that pelvis into position. And now you are going to hold that position and raise one leg up off the floor. Again, we don't need to go real high. And alternate back and forth. Try to avoid arching the back. To advance this exercise, you can again add the arms for the combination. Now when we add the arms, again lock the pelvis into position. Raise one leg and the opposite arm without arching the back. Notice the arm and leg are only raising approximately one to two inches off the floor.

To the Market
With March comes a crop of locally-grown spring vegetables, including asparagus, artichokes and beautiful spring onions, just to mention a few. Strawberries were hit hard with heavy rain but they are back and better than ever. Kelly Farms is once again at the Studio City Farmers Market; their strawberries are always a hit with customers. New vendors include Sugar Juice, offering pure cane juice in an array of flavors as a healthy alternative to soda. John from a Sharper Edge (knife sharpening) will be at the market every two weeks.

Taibak and Koval? Edit
I realize that speculation is not appropriate for this Wiki. I would just like to comment that Koval, as a spymaster in Inter_Arma_Enim_Silent_Leges_(episode), would have been just the man to brainwash LaForge in The_Mind's_Eye_(episode). Maybe, then, "Taibak" was an in-universe spy pseudonym. In the real world, producers like using the same actor to play a character with the same role but a different name just to avoid paying royalties to the author of the original character. Take for example, Nicholas Locarno and Tom Paris. My $0.02 ... Winn cochrane 14:33, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

Wesley Clark may have violated federal election laws by discussing his presidential campaign during recent paid appearances, campaign finance experts say.
The retired general, a newcomer to presidential politics, touted his candidacy during paid appearances at DePauw University in Indiana and other campuses after he declared he was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination on September 17.
The laws on the financing of presidential campaigns say candidates cannot be paid by corporations, labour unions, individuals or even universities for campaign-related events. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) considers such paid political appearances akin to a financial contribution to a candidate.
Mr Clark is paid as much as $US30,000 ($43,000) for speeches. He has two scheduled for next week.
Mr Clark, like any other candidate, would probably be permitted to deliver the paid speeches only if they did not "expressly" cover his campaign or his political opponents, the experts said.
But in his speeches, Mr Clark has talked about his campaign positions and criticised President George Bush's policies. At DePauw, during a question-and-answer session after the speech, Mr Clark "absolutely" covered his political views on everything from education to the economy, said Ken Bode, a visiting professor of journalism who moderated the session.
William Oldaker, Mr Clark's general counsel, said he did not run afoul of FEC laws because he "is not attempting through those speeches to specifically . . . influence his election".
Mr Oldaker said Mr Clark only "incidentally" mentioned his candidacy in the speeches, and, therefore, the purpose of his appearances had nothing to do with his presidential campaign.

Senate Bill Would Ease Burden On Towns That Merge [AUDIO]
Legislation that would ease the financial burden on New Jersey towns looking to consolidate was approved by the state Senate Thursday.
The bill would authorize a municipality to adopt an ordinance authorizing special emergency appropriations for the payment of non-recurring expenses incurred by that town to implement a consolidation with another town.
"When towns merge, it costs money…for things like repurposing a first aid building into something else, lawyers and consultant fees to get all the pieces in place" said bill sponsor Senator Bob Gordon (D-Bergen/Passaic.)
Under current law, special emergency appropriations are paid for through the issuance of "special emergency notes," which must be paid off in five years. The use of special emergency appropriations, and the issuance of special emergency notes to fund the non-recurring costs and expenses associated with the consolidation process will allow consolidating municipalities to immediately begin to experience the financial savings of municipal consolidation by spreading the effect of the non-recurring costs associated with municipal consolidation over a five-year period.
The bill would also allow towns to be exempt from the two-percent property tax cap when faced with these additional non-recurring expenses.
"What we're looking to do is really eliminate a financial hurdle to the consolidation process, with the expectation that by spending a little money up front, we can save a lot of money for taxpayers in the long run" said Gordon.
He said municipal consolidation is needed if New Jersey ever wants to reduce the size of government.
"Until we do something about 566 municipalities and 618 school districts, the costs are never going to drop and the taxes are never going to become bearable in this state."

Being selected for the Varsity team is always an exciting and memorable moment. Stereotypically, jocks rule the school in their lettermen jackets and exude an upperclass attitude. High fashion designers have created their own version of the varsity jacket. This Fashionisto may not be a jock but he rocks a varsity jacket that's slim fit and a perfect for capping off his outfit.
Chilly days encourage parkas and layering but most people forget about the warmth and versatility of varsity jackets. Most are very insulated and add a unique dynamic to any Fashionisto's wardrobe. Lets be honest, you will be the only man on campus with a varsity jacket and individuality is a huge trend.
Speaking of individuality, this Fashionisto carries a tote bag rather than a back pack. College books are so heavy it makes sense to let your back rest and show a bit of style in the process. This Fashionisto reps a a Gucci tote bag but because of the recent trend, tote bags have been featured by many cheaper retail giants such as Zara.
This Fashionisto wears a unique pair of pants that do not go unnoticed. The last few seasons have featured clean, classic jeans and focused more on the fit. This Fashionisto's jeans are indeed focused on fit but even more all about distinct design. I believe this Fashionisto wears a jean that will be very popular in seasons to come. He's gone for a ripped look and bright pink stitch. To top it all off, his jeans are perfectly rolled and evident is a crocodile print cuff. Many retailers have capitalized on this trend and added designs inside jeans that look fantastic when rolled.
Hint: Quality plays a big part in this Fashionisto's outfit, but most importantly I suggest you spend a bit more money than usual on a well made tote bag. Cheap knockoffs will fall apart easily if used everyday for carrying books.

An Equinix Inc. (EQIX) data center near Paris suffered a cooling outage late Wednesday, leaving some customer services offline for hours as the provider used backup cooling units to regain control of the temperature in the facility. The incident occurred on the second floor of the Paris 2 IBX data center in St. Denis, France, the facility where Equinix suffered an outage in early July.
The problems began late Wednesday afternoon as temperatures in Paris rose into the upper 90s. "Multiple chillers that support the second floor failed, and the standby chiller system did not start in time to absorb the load," Michel Brignano, General Manager of Equinix France, wrote in an incident report which was posted to the FrNOG list.
"This impacted temperatures on the second floor and had indirect effect on the ground floor as well," Brignano continued. "The specific causes of the failures are still under investigation but there appear to have been component/subsystem failures in at least two of the three primary chiller systems supporting the second floor. At this time, we can not say definitively whether the failures were related or not."
Temperatures Rise in Data Center
Dedicated server host SD-France reported that inlet temperatures inside the Paris 2 data center soared above 50 degrees C (122 degrees Fahrenheit). French web host and registrar Gandi had to discontinue all services it hosted at the Equinix Paris 2 center, leaving some customers offline for as long as eight hours. "This impacts pretty much a quarter of our hosting and all sitemaker services as well as one of our DNS clusters," Gandi said in its incident report.
Outside temperatures in Paris reached 97 degrees Wednesday, and 90 degrees on Thursday as Equinix staff continued the effort to restore the full cooling capabilities for the Paris 2 data center. "Equinix engineers and supplier support personnel were dispatched to the site (Wednesday) evening and continue to work on the systems," Brignano wrote.
"The full site returned to target temperature early (Thursday) morning using a combination of some primary capacity and the standby system (which subsequently started). While returning to target temperature this morning was important, we were well aware that the system would be stressed again during the day and have been working to get the failed systems repaired and to undertake other interim steps to avoid a recurrence.
Recovery Work Continuing
"At this point, one of the failed systems has been partially repaired and is providing some cooling supply," Brignano added in his update at midday Thursday. "Work is continuing on the other units and additional engineers are en route to the site to diagnose and repair the units. Because the site is operating with less than full operating infrastructure, on-site engineers are closely monitoring key cooling equipment and the UPS units. In addition, we are using a number of tactics to maximize the performance of the cooling equipment that is operating."
SD-France shared its unhappiness about the outage in its public report to customers. "With regard to this last incident, what disappointed us the most is the indisputable lack of communication, transparency and reactivity of Equinix," SD-France wrote.
The Equinix Paris 2 outage in July was caused by the human error of a vendor conducting routine maintenance on a UPS system, according to Equinix. The error caused one UPS unit to go offline, dropping power to a third of the PA2 center for one minute.

Another injury may sideline Keisel
Steelers defensive Brett Keisel may not play today after waking up Saturday morning with an injured calf muscle.
The Steelers listed Keisel as questionable for the 1 p.m. game in Buffalo. The 6-foot-6, 285-pounder did not appear on their injury report following the team's final practice of the week Friday.
The Steelers may err on the side of caution with Keisel since he has missed four games and played sparingly in another after pulling a hamstring on Oct. 17 against the Browns.
With Aaron Smith out until at least the latter part of December — he is recovering from a partially torn triceps — the Steelers have had their starting defensive ends play together in just five games this season.
If Keisel is unable to play against the Bills, Nick Eason and Ziggy Hood will start at defensive end.
Starks pitches in
Max Starks' season is over, but the veteran left tackle has embraced a new role since the Steelers placed him on injured reserve Nov. 10.
Starks, who had surgery to repair an injured disk in his neck, has been a regular at the Steelers' practice facility, attending offensive line meetings and helping his teammates.
"I'm more like a player-coach, like (former NBA player-coach) Tree Rollins or something," said Starks, who is expected to make a full recovery from his injury.

It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble) and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr.), rescued Winter. With the help of Dr. Cameron McCarthy (Morgan Freeman), who developed a unique prosthetic tail for the injured dolphin, they were able to save her life. Yet their fight is not over. Winter's surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to Usda regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins' social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium. Take a look at the first footage from this family drama as »

M4 vs ar15
What's the difference between an m4 and a ar15. I plan to buy a m4 from stag arms
It's pretty much like Jpyle said. The old Armalite company designed the AR-15 (which stands for ARmalite 15 - their 15th gun design) then sold the manufacturing rights to Colt. The first rifles Colt supplied to the military were stamped Colt AR-15 but later when the military accepted the rifle it was renamed as the M16. Those first AR-15s were full auto but today the term is a generic one for civilian and LE semiautos.
Anyway you can call your Stag an AR-15 or M4 or M4gery if you like. And parts designed for any of those should work in your rifle. Except for legal reasons you can't get parts that would change your rifle to full auto or burst (or a few other controlled parts).

Some server configurations, typically running Pure-FTPd, have trouble updating WordPress via FTP. When doing an upgrade or a plugin install things may start fine but fail in the middle. It's a bummer during an update since your site is also in maintenance mode and visitors can't reach your site. Maintenance mode will timeout but to quickly get out of it just delete the .maintenance file from the root of your website.
Common error messages might look like this:
Could not copy file.: /wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css Could not copy file.: /public_html/wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css Could not copy file.: /.../.../wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css Could not create file.: /public_html/
And then you'll probably see an Installation Failed message.
There is a patch going into WordPress 3.2 that should permanently take care of the issue and the plugin will be obsolete after upgrading to that version. In the meantime, installing and activating the plugin should make upgrades work as expected.
Download the FTP Upgrade Fix plugin from WordPress.org or search for it within the WordPress admin. You may have to install it manually via FTP if you're also having trouble installing plugins through WordPress.

Putting a big full stop to Pawan Kalyan's third marriage rumours, Registration Officer who issue certificate to Pawan's marriage has finally opened up. He confirmed that the Telugu movie hero married an Australian lady named Anna Lezenova on September 20th, 2013.

Even before Pawan and Renu got married, they have son Akira Nandan, and after marrying in 2009 they have daughter Aadya. So if we have to believe all the reports doing rounds with evidences, Pawan married Anna Lezenova on September 20th, and this is his third marriage.

Apple today announced that it is making several changes to its App Store developer policies and procedures, with one of the most significant changes being an easing of its earlier move to ban third-party compilers such as Adobe's Flash-to-iPhone compiler it had built into Flash Professional CS5. Under the new policies, such third-party tools will be permitted as long as the apps generated by them do not download any code.
We are continually trying to make the App Store even better. We have listened to our developers and taken much of their feedback to heart. Based on their input, today we are making some important changes to our iOS Developer Program license in sections 3.3.1, 3.3.2 and 3.3.9 to relax some restrictions we put in place earlier this year.
In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need.
Apple has been the target of scrutiny by several regulatory agencies for its exclusionary policies.
In addition, Apple is also publishing its App Store Review Guidelines in order to provide developers with more transparency about the review process. Apple has been criticized for its closed process that has been seemingly arbitrary and inconsistent at times. While there will almost certainly continue to be some inconsistencies as long as humans are involved in the review process, publication of the review guidelines should make it easier for all parties to be on the same page from the outset of the app creation and review processes.

BROOKSVILLE — Brooksville Police are looking for a man involved in an armed robbery Monday night at the Kangaroo Express store at 999 N Broad St.
Investigators said that the suspect, described as a white male wearing glasses and dressed in a plaid, long-sleeve shirt and a two-tone winter cap, walked into the store shortly after 10 p.m. brandishing a knife and demanded money from the store clerk.
He used a white T-shirt to cover his face. The suspect fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash in a newer-model white compact car. No one was injured.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the Brooksville Police Department at (352) 754-6800.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are not dating.
You read that right.
This is what the just turned 21-year-old starlet told host Ryan Seacrest in an E! Special that aired on Sunday.
The exact exchange?
Seacrest: "Are you with Justin are you not with Justin?"
Gomez: "No, I am not."
Seacrest: "So you are single?"
Gomez: "Yes I am."
It's shocking news considering the glut of breathless reports about Bieber and Gomez supposedly reuniting.
Throw in the friendly looking July 5 Instagram Bieber posted of the pair following revelations they spent part of Independence Day together, and it's not unreasonable why numerous media outlets assumed they were together.
What isn't reasonable, accurate, or responsible journalism, however, are the now exposed dubious 'source' reports about their relationship, given that Gomez has just stated she and the Canadian are not dating.
One outlet that shall remain nameless claimed to have exclusive details on the couple's reunion and the supposed "conditions" of the reconciliation, in an off-shoot story that was essentially used as a tool to insult Bieber.
Gomez's bombshell also blows credibility holes in reports of her being so "disgusted" by Bieber's recent behavior that she read him the relationship riot act.
"Selena was disgusted when she heard what he did in the club," a source supposedly told the UK's Star Magazine, adding,"he has sworn if she gives him one last chance he won't let her down."
The quote refers to the excruciating video of Bieber urinating into a janitorial mop bucket in a New York City nightclub, the bizarreness of it exceeded only by his later expletive at a photograph of Bill Clinton — for which he subsequently apologized.
"Selena has told Justin that the speeding, turning up late [to concerts] and arguing with paps all have to end if they are going to work," Star's 'insider' went on, oblivious to the fact the real Gomez would later offer no public opinion to Seacrest on Bieber's overly-documented missteps.
It's worth noting Star Magazine previously broke the second, false, Bieber paternity story.
Once again it's a stark reminder that not every widely reported claim is what it purports to be.
Elsewhere, it's been reported Gomez is absolutely smitten with Bieber.
Just yesterday, it was claimed Selena is utterly convinced Justin is her "one true love."
The word "undying" was used.
"She's very stubborn when it comes to Justin," one insider supposedly tattled. "She's got this idea that he's 'The One' for her and that they'll live happily ever after."
As for the pair themselves, after a reportedly barnstorming Boston show on Saturday night, Bieber has hit his native land, Canada.
The pop star is set to perform at Kanata, Ontario's Scotiabank Place on July 23.
Video footage of the shirtless one partying with some of his Believe tour crew and Deadmau5, the dance producer, at Radio Z 103.5's Cabana Pool bar in Toronto on Sunday, suggests Bieber isn't too worried about his personal life despite ongoing controversies.
The 19-year-old was recently hit with a possibly fraudulent, new spitting accusation.
An Ohio deejay claims Bieber swore and spat on him after an alleged altercation over attempts to take photos of the singer in a Columbus, Ohio, bar and lounge.
The DJ, named Addison Ulhaq, has filed a police report but has not filed criminal charges.
Both Bieber's rep and an apparently firsthand witness deny the alleged incident took place.
Meanwhile, Gomez got her party on with actress Lily Collins and an array of other nubile celebrities at Julianne Hough's twenties-themed birthday party at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel on Saturday.
The Spring Breakers actress wore a short, black figure-hugging dress, completing her look with a set of red 'devil' horns and trademark scarlet lips. After Gomez's milestone 21st today, her Stars Dance album officially drops tomorrow.
From candids, the Latina seemed in high spirits at Hough's party.
For those whose 'Jelena' hopes have been mortally dashed, take heart. Bieber and Gomez appear to have made the jump from dating, to not dating, to friendship — which as we all know is often the more durable option.

He's looked lost without the puck and is guilty of trying to do too much individually when he has it. Eakins hoped to get his attention by benching him for a pair of recent games. Instead, a petulant Yakupov said, "I don't really like playing without the puck, skate all the time and do forecheck and hit somebody every shift — I don't think it's my game."

The reimbursed price of PTC Therapeutics' (PTCT) rare disease drug Translarna was reduced by 65% in a ruling on Thursday by a German insurance arbitration board.
If PTC Therapeutics is unable to reverse the German pricing decision, the company's ability to generate revenue in Europe, the only geography where the drug is approved, will be significantly diminished.
The company's efforts to get Translarna approved in the U.S. look dim after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a "refuse to file" letter on Feb. 23, essentially rejecting the drug without a full clinical review. European regulators granted conditional approval to Translarna to treat a form of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The Translarna price-cut decision was handed down Feb. 25 in an arbitration proceeding between PTC Therapeutics and Germany's Central Federal Association of Health Insurance. A copy of the decision, filed in a German court, was obtained by TheStreet.
The German arbitration panel decided that the new, lowered price for a 30-pill bottle of Translarna (125 mg dose) would be 1,312 euros, which represents a 65% reduction from the previous price of 3,822 euros.
The new pricing decision is final and retroactive to December 2015, although PTC Therapeutics can try to sue the German government to overturn the ruling.
PTC Therapeutics issued a statement on the adverse Translarna pricing decision, stating, "As a result, PTC is considering delisting Translarna from the German pharmacy ordering system. Under these circumstances, patients and healthcare professionals may be able to access Translarna through a reimbursed importation pathway possible under German law, thus minimizing any access issues for German patients while maintaining a sustainable price."

Alternative to Waldorf Salad-Hold the Mayo!
Recipe by crazy crafter
Found out my husband has high cholesterol, but he loves waldorf salad...so I got creative and made it with extra veggies and lemon juice and it's now a low calorie, low cholesterol winner..he loved it! Hope you do too.
Top Review by Puffy-Taco
Great side dish which I really made into more of a slaw by chopping the ingredients smaller. I didn't have raisins or lemon juice so substituted a little white wine. It had a crisp light taste which balanced very well with the stronger flavors of the Parmesan Garlic Chicken Breasts #234175 and Ranch Potatoes #251727. I think I'm reserving the 5ht star for the missing mayo, but this salad is good (and healthier).
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large Red Delicious apple
- 236.59 ml walnuts (shelled)
- 118.29 ml raisins
- 118.29 ml cranberries
- 25 baby carrots
- 2 stalk celery
- 29.58 ml lemon juice
- 14.79 ml sugar (or splenda)
Directions See How It's Made
- cut apple into quarters, remove heart/seeds and then cut into chunks.
- next julienne the carrots and slice the celery putting in large bowl as you go then mix the rest of the ingredients into the bowl making sure to cover the apples completely with lemon juice and sugar as you stir to prevent browning/oxidizing. Chill and enjoy. You can change the amounts listed to suit your taste and add other things or other nuts that you enjoy -- there's no wrong way to do this recipe and it takes a short time for a big bang!

HEYBRIDGE Swifts missed a late penalty and were held to a draw at Redbridge.
The two sides battled to a 1-1 draw in their Ryman League division one north match.
Swifts took an early lead at the Oakside Stadium when Dumebi Dumaka grabbed the opener on 12 minutes.
Daniel Francis then went close for the home side but his glancing header went wide.
Ben Bradbury went down in the box but the home side's penalty appeals were waived away by the referee on 19 minutes Kurt Smith tried to reduce the arrears for the home side but his long range effort flashed wide on 39 minutes.
But Smith did find the target two minutes later with a left-footed drive from the edge of the area.
Liam Thomas then almost gave the home side the lead on the stroke of half-time but his header from a corner went just wide.
Jamie Guy went close for Swifts just after the start of the second half.
Swifts almost went back in frotn when Wareham had a header cleared off the line following a corner on 53 minutes.
Redbridge looked to have taken the lead on 59 minutes but Stephen Good's header was ruled out for off-side.
Heybridge had the chance to snatch victory when they were awarded a late penalty.
However, Robbie King's effort was saved and Dean Driscoll was able to also prevent his follow up shot.

Modern farming practices such as conservation tillage and no-till farming are responsible for significant environmental benefits often overlooked by Earth Day observers.
With no-till, farmers plant crops and control weeds without turning the soil. This method decreases erosion, reduces fuel use and improves water quality. In addition to the environmental benefits, no-till empowers farmers to grow more crops and feed more people than was possible 42 years ago when Earth Day first originated.
In the 1970s, a revolution in agriculture began when farmers started converting from conventional, intensive tillage systems to a system more in tune with nature. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that soil erosion from U.S. cropland declined more than 40 percent between 1982 and 2007, thanks in part to no-till and conservation tillage practices. These modern farming practices were made possible in part by the use of atrazine, a herbicide that can manage many different types of weeds under a wide variety of conditions.
"Atrazine's reliable performance gave farmers the confidence they could control weeds without tillage," said Richard Fawcett, Ph.D., former agronomy professor at Iowa State University who is now an agricultural consultant.
No-till allows farmers to grow crops year after year without disturbing the soil, thus increasing the soil's amount of organic matter and decreasing erosion, according to a study by Fawcett.
"While plowing has benefits, it leaves soil loosened and susceptible to significant erosion, ultimately polluting air with fuel burned in the plow equipment and contaminating water with sediment run-off," said Fawcett. "No-till fields also provide a healthier habitat for wildlife."
But this farming technique depends on the ability to control weeds, demonstrating the importance of the 50-year-old herbicide atrazine.
According to Paul D. Mitchell, Ph.D., associate professor, Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, more than one-third of U.S. cropland devoted to major crops such as corn and soybeans uses no-till systems. Farmers are applying atrazine on about half of no-till corn acres. Mitchell's research also found atrazine enables farmers to save as much as 28-million gallons of diesel fuel per year, equaling more than 600-million pounds of carbon-dioxide emissions.
Earth Day started as a campaign to raise awareness of environmental issues.
"But many of the campaign elements ignore the environmentally friendly and earth-saving methods farmers use in their day-to-day operations," said David C. Bridges, Ph.D., president of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Ga. "It is important to recognize the role of farmers and modern agricultural technologies in protecting wildlife, saving habitats and keeping our waters clean."

Obama, McCain, and the Faith Forum
Posted by DEG

- Brad Hart at: August 17, 2008 at 9:33 AM said...
As far as the religious views of the candidates are concerned, both McCain and Obama played it relatively safe. Obama made his Christian faith clear by proclaiming that Jesus had died for his sins (hopefully this will silence the bogus Muslim terrorist nonsense but I doubt it), while McCain expressed his belief that he has been saved. Both men played their cards right, considering the venue and the "supercharged" role that religion has played in politics in recent elections.
But as one of my friends at American Creation has pointed out, I wonder what Rick Warren would have made of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, etc. had they been on the stage. One can easily imagine Washington, Jefferson evading the question of faith or the role Jesus Christ played in their lives. What a field day the media would have with them!

Thanks for posting these links. I missed it the first time around, so I am looking forward to the transcripts!
- BlakeatRice at: August 20, 2008 at 5:32 PM said...
Personally, I thought the whole thing was frustrating because, as Darren alluded to, Warren's far-right brand of faith politics made it almost impossible for Obama to seriously engage the questions. I'll cite this fantastic blog entry from salon.com's Joan Walsh. It more or less sums up my thoughts on the forum.

About MeTo be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
~ E.E. Cummings
I am a 26 year old Russian-born female with long black hair and bright, emerald green eyes. With a wonderfully proportioned hour-glass figure, I stand 5 ft 9in tall barefoot.
In addition to being very well educated, I have vast experience in different industries/fields. I am an extraordinary being with a radiant personality that tends to draw people to me.
I'm into many things...artistic, challenging, and creative. I had a career as a General Manager of several companies but the corporate environment is not for me at all. So for now, I choose to explore the fun in life and enjoy brightening people's days with my company. I am intense, passionate, fun, and I tend to be the creative instigator of all sorts of activities. If you are looking for a woman that is witty and intelligent, and not just an empty pretty face...Well, chat me up!
I love to do what I do, my intelligence and wit allow for me to mingle among many different people and circles. I am a model, artist, creative writer, designer, intellectual.
I am fiercely honest. I appreciate honesty and truth, and value that greatly. That's why I know none of my friends would screw me over, as in steal from me cheat, back-stab etc. Anyone that would do that to you isn't worth knowing.
I love my whips, and latex as much as my high heels and jeans and dresses. Music, books, and anything art are number one in my life: some of the things that make life worth it...
I certainly look forward to exploring this further, so feel free to drop me a message if you feel you're up to it!

Romantic Cruise: Costa Fascinosa Cruise Review by jujubabes
Overall Member Rating
Romantic Cruise
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
It was my 40Th so it was a special cruise for me and my partner, it was his first cruise and loved every minute of it. Everything went smoothly from the the check-in, we were booked in a mini suite, so had priority boarding and that was great, we were one of the first few people to board the ship.
The staff were friendly and approachable and the service was great. Seeing as it was the newest of the Costa fleet, everything was Clean and New. Our suite was spacious and comfortable the beds were very comfortable & our Balcony was great L shaped at the back of the ship and huge.
We were on the second seating for dinner, and was quiet impressed with the food, the menu change every evening and we also went to the dining room for most lunches, Don't really like the buffet on deck 9, More especially when the ship was full, +-3600 passengers, at least in the dining room you have table service and order of the menu. We also did breakfast in the dining room, much more comfortable. who wants to stand in long queues when u on vacation.
The entertainment was great, a Russian dance troop and also an acrobatic couple and they also had a crew show which was fabulous. The bars were busy and the cocktails were worth buying the drinks package which we did prior to joining the ship. At 19.50 euros a day including the gratuity it was a bargain as we enjoyed our wines with lunch & dinners and cocktails at all the bars and our cappuccinos with breakfast, it was definitely worth it for us.
We also loved the Spa, the treatments were a bit pricey for us so we opted for the thermal suite pass, which gave u access to the different wet rooms, the oriental steam, hot steam, ha-mam & Turkish bath as well as Hydrotherapy pool and the Japanese Tea garden, that was definitely worth the 149 euros for both of us, but must be booked on embarkation. we used the facilities for the entire cruise and was most relaxing.
The ports were great, just wish we had more time in some of them, we never did any excursions as i had been there before, so we explored on our own.
Seeing it was a special birthday we booked the Ala Ca-rte restaurant Club Fascinosa, which was definitely worth the 50 euros for both of us the food was amazing and the whole ambiance of the restaurant was very Romantic. The highlight of the cruise for was the ship as i had been to all the ports, 7nights was way to short, so definitely a longer cruise for us next year
On a whole we loved our Costa cruise, and we would recommend and we will cruise Costa again.
Thank you for an amazing cruise Costa and see u again

A nearly identical version appeared 7 years later in Lasso's Libro de villanelle, moresche, et altri canzoni (Paris, 1581), attributed to Lasso. Even though it was published later, the Lasso attribution is far more well-known today, as the tune was transcribed in the early 20th century, decades before the Gabrieli.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Bleu Star, Nov 25, 2012.
Look on the bright side. We will get a top 10 pick in the first round of the draft.
Packers need a stop here.
lol @ Eli being "average". 2 time superbowl MVP is just an average ole QB huh?
I doubt it. I see us beating the Eagles, Bengals (maybe), and Steelers w/ Charlie Batch at QB tbh. And maybe even the Skins. I hope i'm wrong, but I have a feeling.
1st TD in a month.....
I hope we get an average QB like that one day.
You can believe that if you want
they'll find a way to ruin that too. once the pressure gets off their shoulders i wouldn't be surprised if they win 2 or 3 more down the stretch.
got lucky on that down by contact call for sure.
I believe Carr has a pick six on the year...
Well I hope you are right and I am wrong.
No NFC east teams win in Cincy
The Bengals are a better team than the Cowboys right now.. not sure how you see us beating them? The Steelers will have Big Ben back when we play them. Our team struggled big time with a 2-7 team and just lost to a pathetic Redskins team.
Top 10 draft pick coming our way.
When Eli is the QB you are never out of it
I'd rather be in the middle to low middle. Jerry won't pull the trigger on an interior lineman in Top 15, and he probably shouldn't.
He's average. What about the overthrow? You were quite critical about our QB overthrowing people?
People are hyping up Eli and the game is only in the 2nd QTR?
The lead is only 10 pts people?
If we do indeed get a top 10-15 pick, I hope we trade down a few picks and pick up another 2nd or 3rd rounder. Then draft O-line with the first 2 picks.
Haha... They do play better when the pressure is off. Romo played like a girl out there until the 3rd quarter when we were down big with nothing to lose.
U r pathetic.
Eli his a wide open guy for his first TD pass in forever after missing a wide open back for a TD the drive before. He's elite though. Rogers throws a pick next series...

Paris - Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell, free to compete again pending the outcome of an appeal against his 18-month doping ban, will race the 100m at the Diamond League meet in Paris on July 5, organisers said Monday.
Powell and training partner Sherone Simpson tested positive for banned stimulant oxilofrine after the 100m finals at the Jamaican nationals on June 21, 2013.
Powell, who blamed his positive result on a nutritional supplement, was banned until December 28, 2014, by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission Disciplinary Panel.
But the former world record holder had his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld, freeing him to compete up until the next meeting of CAS on July 7-8.
Before that, Powell is also set to compete in the Jamaican national championships between June 26-29 in Kingston.

CAL's Adult ESL Assessments
The number of adult English language learners in the United States continues to grow substantially and programs serving them face many challenges in providing instruction to meet their needs. Having tests that are appropriate, valid, and reliable is critical to the evaluation of oral and written English proficiency for this growing population. CAL understands these challenges and can help programs determine the best combination of assessments to meet the needs of both the programs and the students.
BEST Literacy and BEST Plus 2.0 address the needs of adult English language learners by providing assessment options that reliably demonstrate student progress. With BEST Plus 2.0 to measure speaking and listening skills and BEST Literacy to measure reading and writing skills, programs can test all of the four skill areas. Both assessments are aligned to the National Reporting System and the Student Performance Level ESL descriptors.
BEST Plus 2.0 is CAL's oral English proficiency assessment for adults. Read More.

Dermot Bannon
The RTÉ Guide Interview
Room To Improve is a design series for the SSIA generation: if you can't afford to move on, why not add on? Donal O'Donoghue meets the show's presenter, architect Dermot Bannon, at his Dublin home.
Serried sunlight streams through the skylight. It illuminates the pages of Dermot Bannon's notebook - the markings of an architect - and the innards of his home. With the new six-part RTÉ design show, Room To Improve, the Dubliner gets to run the rule over home improvements. For these SSIA times the mantra could be 'don't move on, add on'. Bannon has first-hand experience of it.
We sit in the white space of his Drumcondra home. Through large double doors we look out on to a long garden: the room outside. Inside, on the walls and shelves, are photographs and paintings, including two drawings by Bannon. One is of his two-year-old daughter, Sarah, which he gave to his wife, Louise, as a Christmas present. The other is of a reclining nude. When they bought the house in 2005 it was, "an absolute kip". Today, after initial intensive renovation, including a 40-metre, flat-roofed extension, the house reflects his priorities of light, function and view.
Dermot Bannon is a youthful 35-year-old, bearing an uncanny resemblance to the RTÉ broadcaster Ryan Tubridy (he shakes his head; it is not the first time he has heard this). He works with Moloney O'Beirne Architects in Dun Laoghaire and is passionate about his profession. "I would quite happily read an architecture book in bed," he says. Last year, he co-presented the property show, House Hunters, with Liz O'Kane, after replying to an advert posted on the RAI website, followed by an interview and screen test. But that series about the property market is an entirely different animal to his latest opus. "House Hunters was just my opinion based on what I saw," he says. "Now I actually have to do everything from surveys to the final design. I would have to work closely with the clients, tweak the design, send the plans out to tender, find the builders, and oversee the on-site work right up to the snag list."
Architecture was always his first love (although he did once consider becoming a pilot). His mother, Mary, is a teacher and his father, Jim, who died suddenly about three weeks beforehand, was a horticulturalist. Occasionally, his father wanders into his conversation. Jim Bannon (honoured before the recent Dublin-Meath game at Croke Park where he worked as a chief steward) used to look after his son's garden, the professional offering advice and applying solutions. He also bought the shed at the end of the lawn - with its "Rastafarian colour scheme".
"I always loved buildings and spaces and making things," Dermot says and so in 1991 he enrolled at the Hull School of Architecture (he was one point shy of qualifying for Bolton Street but didn't want to wait another year). It was his first time living away from home in Malahide. In the middle of the academic course he took a year out to work with Dublin-based architect Ross Cahill-O'Brien. "He really opened my eyes." He learned about the grand masters, Corbusier and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. He realised the potential of the empty space, saw the world in three dimensions and the significance of detail in the jigsaw of design. "What makes a building a joy for me is that everything is right down to the smallest detail."
With Room To Improve, the devil can lurk in the detail. Projects include a couple who want to upgrade their limited extension into something brighter and more substantial, including a brand new kitchen (€50,000). Other challenges include upgrading a basic holiday home to a full-time residence for €70,000 and making a home wheelchair-accessible for €40,000. As with many of these DIY TV shows, the sticky part was the budget. Occasionally, the first estimate became redundant, after the client revised plans and threw a few extras into the works.
"The problem is that people don't think about what they want to do," says Bannon. "They don't think through what they want their house to achieve. Some people think that for €40,000 they can slap a bit on to the end of the kitchen. They don't look at the whole house and how it might perform. You have to look at the whole house and examine everything from the front door to the back."
A sigh of frustration: hell can be people who now want a bigger fireplace, but don't factor it into their original budget. Hell can be people who just want him to draw exactly what they have in their head. "It can be difficult to say to people that their taste is crap," he says. But he enjoys winning over the clients. "When people say that they know what they want, in many cases they just want what they know. They can get stuck in that rut. So I ask them to allow me to help: I'm professionally trained to look at people's houses and tell them what can work best."
Dermot rails at the hacienda-style houses that litter the Irish countryside: monuments to ego over intellect. He makes the case for the architect, but tempers his argument. "I'm not a 'taste doctor', someone who comes in with sirens blaring to tell you that you are wrong," he says. "It's a profession and you should allow the professional the space to do it rather than dictate what you want. The fundamentals are wrong in a lot of cases with these houses that dot the countryside. Very few houses face into the light, very few houses face into their views and very few houses bear any relationship to their site. There is no sense of proportion."
When we leave, it is late morning. The long garden with the Rasta shed is lit up by sunshine. A few gardens along, a builder is laying blocks for what may be a garden shed or a mews. Bannon surveys his own allotment. He wonders whether he should plant some trees, but worries about losing the light. His late dad, who would visit armed with the latest fertilisers and guaranteed weed killers, would probably have some suggestions. Perhaps a eucalyptus or poplar? To the south, the hedgerows reflect the summer and there is a sense of optimism in the air. Everybody, it seems, is looking for room to improve.

CHICAGO (Nov. 15)
Responding to a plea from Israel's Premier David Ben Gurion for urgent aid to meet Israel's "crippling short-term indebtedness," the United Israel Appeal, at its national convention here today, adopted a resolution pledging itself to carry out a program of increased fund-raising, as well as of borrowing a minimum of $75,000,000 for a period of five years, in order to refund Israel's short-term obligations.
The resolution also urged American Jews in 1954 to provide a minimum of $125,000,000 through the United Jewish Appeal and the Israel Bond issue. The more than 1,000 delegates from all parts of the United upon President Eisenhower "to use his good offices and the great prestige and influence of the U.S. to bring about in the very near future a conference of Arab governments and Israel aimed at achieving a state of peace in the Middle East."
On a resolution on cash, the conference took note of the fact that some 200,000 immigrants were still living on "the fringe of Israel's economy." It called on the Jewish community of America "to do everything possible to provide the maximum amount of cash through the collection of pledges, bank borrowings or advanced payments on the 1954 campaign in order to alleviate the urgent pressure for the remainder of 1953."
Two U.S. Senators, the Republican chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a ranking Democratic member of that committee, clashed sharply here today in their views on American policy in the Middle East, particularly with regard to the "final peace settlement" between Israel and the Arab states.
Senator Alexander Wiley, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, urged that "the statesmanship of the West must do everything feasible to encourage the Arab leaders to sit down with Israel around the peace table." Sen. Guy M. Gillette, senior member of the committee, charged, however, that the U.S. is turning toward "the older methods of power politics in the Middle East and setting aside basic principles in favor of what are supposed to be immediate advantages."
Rudolf G. Sonneborn, national chairman of the United Israel Appeal, told the delegates last night that a total of $1,710,000,000, mainly from Jews in the United States, is needed during the coming seven years to finance a newly formulated "maturity plan" which will enable Israel "to stand on its own two feet and reach a high degree of self-sufficiency by 1960."
Mr. Sonneborn said that more than four-fifths of the sum must come from the United Jewish Appeal and the Israel Bond Drive, with the balance expected from the U.S. grants-in-aid. An additional $700,000,000 in foreign funds needed to pay for the plan will be derived from other currencies including investments and German reparation payments.
Ellis Radinsky, executive director of the United Israel Appeal, in reporting on the 1954 budget of UIA agencies, said that a total of $92,120,000 is the "basic, minimum sum needed to carry out the barest essentials of the development program in Israel." The largest unit of expenditure in 1954, Mr. Radinsky said, is the agricultural development program which will cost $50,050,000, "or well over half the total budget."

Recently, via Twitter, we learned how Skyrim fan Caleb Gayle proposed to his fiancé, Dara, with a ring inscribed with Dragon language. We recently caught up with the soon-to-be-married couple, who have planned their wedding date for December 31st, 2013.
How did you pop the question?
Caleb: Well it was quite the challenge keeping the secret for so long. At first I was telling her that I owed my father money so week by week I saved a little. Then one day I let her know that we would be visiting my Uncle in Manhattan for about a week, as a mini vacation.
Once we were in Manhattan my uncle called and said lets go see the sites. I then asked dara "Would you like to see the Empire State Building?", and of course she said, "YES!"
While at the top of the Empire state I started doing a vlog video for our site, 2ndOpinionPod.com, and asked Dara to get in the shot. My uncle knew all along what I was planning and once I had the chance I said "The trip so far has been amazing…..but it would be even better if….. (kneeled down on one knee)… Dara I want to spend the rest of my life with you will you marry me?" That's when I realized there was about 50 people surrounding us smiling and clapping while she said "YES!"
Dara: I was already very excited to be in New York. All the extremely tall buildings and structures were just so mesmerizing. It was a lot to take in all at once. Then I was standing on top of the tallest building in New York when Caleb, being Caleb, was making a video once again, tugging on me to get in the shot. I wasn't really sure what to do so I pulled a Vanna White trying to show off the building. That's when I was given the biggest surprise in my life. Caleb plopped down on one knee crying like a baby and I'm thinking "HOLY CRAP!!" After I said yes and Caleb told me everybody knew and that he lied to me about giving his dad money, I impulsively punched him in the stomach.

It's about that time again for a new semester of fashion with me, Jennifer Burchette (a.k.a. Fashionista Jenn). This will be my third semester as Style Guru for Virginia Commonwealth University. I'm returning this spring semester with a lot more professional knowledge and experience in the fashion industry that I'm more than excited to share with you. Coming from summer to fall semester as a Style Guru, it was so great to see VCU's fashion at its prime. This semester should be no different, if not better.The more time I spend spreading the word about CollegeFashionista with others, the more I realize that people recognize VCU already as being a very diverse and fashionable campus. This campus truly earns the title of the word CollegeFashionista, because we are filled with nothing but.
This spring semester, I'm a proud 21-year-old senior and a Virginia Beach native. I'm a creative advertising major in the School of Mass Communications and a business minor. I am quite the busy bee this past and upcoming semester. Besides an internship with CollegeFashionista, I am currently an intern for Richmond, Virginia's Jewelry Box boutique. I've also recently have become the official stylist for DIRGY, a rising clothing brand. Now my new project has been getting my fashion blog out there, which is just an extension of what I do as a Style Guru. Other than my passion for fashion I enjoy shopping, sketching, dancing, cheerleading, blogging, professional fashion magazine hoarding and my new found love, photography. Fashion icons that have influenced my style would have to be Carrie Bradshaw, Tyra Banks and Lauren Conrad. Designers that really make my pulse race are Marc Jacobs, Chanel and Betsey Johnson. As I've always said before, one thing that you can always find in my collection is bows! It is the ultimate feminine symbol that represents being classy yet fun, which I would say is a perfect description of my personality. But over the fall semester I have developed a need for head scarves and an obsession with all shades of lipsticks. I love the pop of color and the finishing confidence boosts it gives to an outfit.
As always, you can find me in Richmond, Virginia where there are clothes, friends and fun! I'm so excited to be continuing as a Style Guru but even more excited to work as my new position as Style Advice of the Week. I have some wonderful secrets and tips to share with you. As always I hope you enjoy my posts as much as I enjoy fashion itself! Have a great semester.
