Did you hear the news? Springfield was recently recognized as a Tree City USA for the 23rd year in a row! This designation, bestowed by the Arbor Day Foundation, is only acquired after cities meet the Arbor Day Foundation's standards. Currently, this honor is shared by over 3,000 communities nationwide. The award comes just in time for National Arbor Day, which falls on the last Friday in April.
National Arbor Day, often thought of as the "tree holiday," started in Nebraska on April 10, 1872. On this day Nebraskans planted more than one million trees! By 1907 the holiday was celebrated from coast-to-coast and the tradition is still going strong.
The Ozarks is home to many avid "tree growers." If the Spring season has you thinking about looking for those gardening gloves, take a moment to peruse this list of like minded groups in the area. Or, if your interest goes beyond just growing trees, we have a recent Community Matters article for that, too!
Has all this talk of trees inspired you to try out your green thumb? Check out these resources:

Themed "Runway to Future Design and Technology," more than 50 IADT fashion design students will visit the GM exhibit on Feb. 9, during the first public day of the Chicago Auto Show. As they walk the GM exhibit, they will begin sketching garment designs inspired by five GM featured vehicles. The five featured GM vehicles for 2007 include: • Chevrolet Volt concept – GM's electric-driven advanced technology vehicle • Chevrolet Camaro convertible concept – a sport coupe with dramatic design and exciting performance • 2008 Cadillac CTS – a luxurious and elegant sedan with the charisma of a sport car • 2008 Buick Enclave – Buick's first luxury crossover SUV with athletic spirit, romantic forms and premium interior • 2007 Saturn Aura Green Line Hybrid – voted North American Car of the Year with a demonstration of Saturn's environmental commitment After taking away their first impressions of the vehicles from the auto show, the students will continue to sketch and produce the garments during the next two months. Five winning designs will be selected and showcased at Imagine 2007, an annual fashion show produced by IADT and sponsored by GM. The fashion show will take place on May 17 at Chicago's Union Station. Each student winner will receive a $500 cash award from GM. "Automotive design and fashion inspire and influence each other," said Robert Boniface, GM director of advanced design, who led the design team of the Chevrolet Volt concept car. "Collaboration between GM and IADT, a school with a strong heritage in fashion, highlights opportunities to expand design vision and fresh ideas." "We are thrilled to continue our partnership with GM for the fifth consecutive year," said Kathy Embry, dean, School of Design Studies at IADT. "We can see a lot of energy in the emotionally compelling designs of all new GM vehicles. The GM Student Design Competition will provide a great opportunity to showcase the talent of future Chicago designers." "General Motor's exclusive design opportunity is a thrilling chance for IADT students," said Amber Lindlom, senior fashion design student at IADT. "The challenge to draw inspiration from GM's innovative vehicles and translate them into one-of-a-kind fashion design solutions is a fantastic experience for aspiring fashion designers" About IADT Located in downtown Chicago, IADT is an accredited, four-year college that offers bachelor and associate degrees in a variety of disciplines based on a strong heritage in fashion and an expanding emphasis on high technology education.

I went to a Catholic Middle School in Central Indiana. I am pretty sure we were required by something in the Bible to visit Notre Dame.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I went to a Catholic Middle School in Central Indiana. I am pretty sure we were required by something in the Bible to visit Notre Dame.
Basically Notre Dame wants us to believe that Manti Te'o carried on a year long relationship with a twitter account, only interacting with her online assuming she was real, and just blatantly exaggerated their relationship antics to the media? I'm not sure this is any better than him making the whole thing up. He seems kind of pathetic (really pathetic) if this is the case.
To all the people who keep saying how sad of a story this is, haven't you at least considered the fact that it is just ****ing hilarious?
Prepare for it to be more hilarious
It sounds stupid to say, but have you watched the show Catfish? My GF has been making me watch it, prior to all of this, but it's not as farfetched as one would believe. There are a lot of people out there that do carry online relationships like this, and just delude themselves into ignoring all the flashing signs of crazy.
The MI hick who thought he was interacting with that Miss Teen USA was too good.
Te'o is a moron though. To what extent is the question.
They sure made it seem like it was more than online.
IF he is complicit in this, then I wouldn't want him anywhere near the Colts. Even if he isn't complicit, then that means he's a complete moron. I don't want morons on the Colts. Plus whatever team he goes to is going to have a ton of unneeded media attention. Players are going to be asked what they think about him as a teammate, whether they can trust him or not, etc etc. No thank you.
If that AZ fullback claims he met her, why would it be farfetched to think that Te'o didn't "meet" her? (I'm just trying to rationalize all of it, not saying what I believe as I'm just utterly lost on all of it.)
If I was "dating" a girl who I thought had leukemia and a girl showed up with a bald head looking sickly, knowing the details of our relationship, I could very easily see overlooking the phsyical differences from the pictures you saw to the person you saw. People believe what they want to believe, and who's going to really question whether or not someone has cancer? It's just so sick to even joke about.
This just goes against everything we thought we knew about Te'o as a person. I think it's funny on a level, but it's more disgusting.
I love that this has at no time since it broke been the lead story at ESPN.com. The rumor is that Jeremy Schaap will conduct the interview, an ESPN reporter. How can we trust anything that is said in that interview when we have info suggesting that ESPN knew for 10 days and didn't say peep?
I thought he was trying to frame the answer to just that one report about her going to Hawaii. But he also did say that they had a casual encounter (I think that was the phrase he used) so I'm just lost on all of it.
Not a year-long internet relationship, a 3-year-long internet relationship, if you believe the timeline of the South Bend newspaper that said that they "met" in 2009 after a ND-Stanford game.
Can you talk to someone for 3 years, often daily, with them becoming "the love of your life" without ever meeting them in person, finding out enough about them in your conversations that you would have seen red flags, etc.
If he was duped then he also made up lots about the length and depth of their relationship and gave lots of false info (or others did for him, and he did not correct any of it).
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
This story says a lot IMHO about the level of reporting that we have now. Wojo said he remembers looking for her obit and reports of the accident, and couldn't find either. How does that not raise suspicision from someone on the outside that has no emotional attachment to the situation? Not being able to atleast find the obit should have atleast started the questions.
Pretty good article from USA Today answering major questions http://www.indystar.com/article/2013...mplicated-plot
Confirms that Manti is a liar (because his statement and ND's statement say he never actually met her, as he claimed he had, the Stanford story was clearly always BS), but now the question becomes how big of a liar is he?
Here's a girl who had a relationship for two years, even sending gifts worth $10,000 during that time, before she found out.
It's more common than people think, even without Te'o's story.
I just laughed my *** off.
Point taken
I suppose I could see him having an online relationship that he doesn't know is a hoax, and him being so attached that he wants to believe it's real yet realizing people 'wouldn't understand a 'serious' relationship that exists only online'.... So he creates the lies about meetings to make people think he's not crazy for being emotionally attached in a 100% online relationship. Then the whole thing turns out to be a hoax and his lies make him look even more crazy than if he'd just told people it was a completely 100% online relationship all along.
Really... I'm just trying to make some sense of this and extend him the benefit of the doubt but no matter how you slice it, it is weird.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
this **** is LOL I agree I couldnt stop laughing reading ESPN's BREAKING NEWS last night. was something like "Teo's dead GF is fake" just LOL I never thought I would see a story like this. Most certainly the weirdest yet funniest story I have heard. I cant wait for the movie who will play Teo I hope Tom Hanks plays the AD!!
A former Stanford football player says that Te'o asked him about whether he knew the (fake) girlfriend, adding support to the idea that Te'o at least though she was real:
Then an article by a Notre Dame student named Tyler Morehead (a fake-sounding name, but his twitter account is not new and he has many older articles posted) asserts that many of Manti's friends and teammates long ago suspected he was being "catfished" and were worried for him when her "death" became a national story: http://collegespun.com/big-east/notr...x#.UPgk8yc8B8E
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
I'm in love with a twitter account The Manti Te'o Story.
I mean if it's true and he was hoaxed, 3 years of twitter acount love, multiple made up stories of meeting her? Dude better have thick skin on the field and in NFL locker room because he is going to be the butt of jokes for his whole career.
Notre Dame played at Stanford on November 26, 2011. So did it not occur to him to say: "Hey, I'm going to be in town playing Stanford this week, maybe we could actually MEET FOR ONCE?!"
So many bizarre things would have to be true for him to really have been the victim of a hoax. I just don't buy it. OTOH, him being a willing participant in the hoax is a pretty simple explanation and makes everything believable.

I always wondered where the money was to be made working at these law firms. Could not happen to better places.

YTM missions in Medellin, Columbia, 2004.
Within its first two years, the Legion began developing and
expanding, establishing the first groups of Regnum Christi members and
founding its first academic institution, "Instituto Cumbres" (The Highlands Institute)
in Medellin. Year after year, the Legion has been establishing
and advancing apostolates in various cities in Colombia. There has
also been a steady increase in the number of young
men from Columbia who wish to become priests in the
ranks of the congregation.The foundation of the Legion
of Christ in Colombia began in the capital city of
Medellin.Father Luis Garza Medina, LC, the current vicar
general of the congregation, arrived in Medellín on January 8th,
1992, sent to speak with Archbishop Héctor Rueda Fernández and
ask about the necessary permissions to establish a Legionary novitiate
in the city as well as a family and university
ministry center in the city. Archbishop Rueda reviewed the proposal
from the Legion with a great deal of interest and
with the hope that their apostolic charism would enrich the
life of the archdiocese.A few days later, on
January 14th, the canonical licenses for the establishment of the
center were granted. The first Legionaries arrived to Medellin on
February 15th, and the Legion´s first center in Colombia was
inaugurated on March 20th.Soon thereafter, the first Regnum
Christi teams were formed. Two years later, in response to
the need for a Catholic school that provided the kind
of integral education characteristic of Legionary schools, there was an
initiative to found a bilingual school with a strong Catholic
identity: the Colegio Cumbres (Highlands School). In February of 1995,
the school opened its doors with 134 students in a
temporary location under the direction of Miss Fidelma Grealy, a
consecrated woman of Regnum Christi. Two years later, the school
moved to its definitive campus and currently enrolls just over
one thousand students.In February 1997, the Mano Amiga
(Helping Hand) school was founded for underprivileged children in the
town of Bello. Today it has more than 700 students
in grades one through eight.At the same time
that these educational institutions and charities were being founded, the
Legion of Christ opened a novitiate and an apostolic school
(minor seminary) in the city of Rionegro for young men
who wanted to discern a vocation in a supportive and
appropriate environment. Thanks to the rich spirituality and religious tradition
of the region, this undertaking has continued to thrive, enriching
the Legion of Christ with the talent and fervor of
vocations from Columbia.With the objective of forming adults
in the faith, the School of the Faith, a
catechetical institution, was established. Other apostolic works were also founded,
such as ANSPAC, which offers integral formation for working
women; Youth and Family Missions, which assists parish priests
in the arduous task of evangelization; Hombre Nuevo, which
evangelizes through mass media, Angel for a Day, an
apostolate that promotes solidarity between youth and those who are
less fortunate; "United Family", which spreads the Christian values of
marriage and the family; and "Youth Clubs", an apostolate
geared toward the integral formation of young people.The
expansion to other cities began with Bogota, the capital, where
the first Regnum Christi teams were formed, followed by the
founding of the Cumbres (Highlands School) of Bogota. The school
currently enrolls almost 200 students from the first to fourth
grade. In Bogota, several apostolates for adults, youth, and children
are also flourishing. The wave of expansion has taken the
Movement to Barranquilla, Cali, Bucaramanga, Manizales, Pereira, and beyond. By
God´s grace, the future of the Legion and Regnum Christi
in Columbia is extremely hopeful in its support of the
Church.There is still much to do. Contact us
and enjoy the experience of taking Christ to others.Legionarios de Cristo (Legionaries of Christ)Calle 9AA Sur n

Isa Genzken: Retrospective, MCA Chicago, April 12-August 3, 2014
Using insubstantial commercial materials to depict what seems indestructible, Isa Genzken's sculptures explore the tension between permanence and transience. Drawing on the legacies of Constructivism and Minimalism and often involving a critical dialogue with Modernist architecture, Genzken's works comment on the way we build and destroy our environments, which are an expression of hope as well as a monument to our consumption and destructiveness. Following 9/11, Genzken created a series entitled "Empire/Vampire, Who Kills Death" (2002–03), using her characteristic assortment of disposable materials such as plastic vessels, toy figures, and other detritus to depict scenes of post-apocalyptic devastation and confusion. For her installation Oil, the artist transformed the German Pavilion at the 2007 Venice Biennale into a saturnine and futuristic Gesamtkunstwerk (the German word for "total art-work").

Weiss optimistic Cuddyer can avoid DL
DENVER -- Rockies outfielder-first baseman Michael Cuddyer did not start Friday night against the Phillies, and manager Walt Weiss said he hopes Cuddyer's left hamstring cramp will not require him to go to the 15-day disabled list.
Cuddyer suffered the injury in the seventh inning of the Rockies' 3-1 victory at San Diego on Thursday afternoon. Cuddyer received treatment from Rockies trainers Friday.
"I'm hoping," Weiss said. "You never know with these things but I feel pretty good that he won't have to go on the DL."
The Rockies started right-handed hitting Drew Stubbs in Cuddyer's No. 2 spot in the order against Phillies right-hander Jonathan Pettibone. Stubbs played center field and Charlie Blackmon replaced Cuddyer in right.

CLEARLAKE -- In 2010, 18 people in Lake County committed suicide, according to the California Department of Public Health.
In an effort to reduce that number The Lake County Suicide Prevention Committee was formed.
The committee met for its first meeting Thursday at the Lake County Behavioral Health Services Southshore AOD conference room, and members were introduced to statistics and suicide prevention strategies.
The committee is part of the North Bay Suicide Prevention (NBSP) Project, a three-year effort from the Suicide Prevention and Community Counseling Program (SP&CC) of Marin, a non-profit program of the Family Service Agency of Marin.
The organization contracted with the California Mental Health Services Authority (CalMHSA), an agency focused on state mental health programs, for an initiative to create regional suicide prevention hotlines to serve the North Bay counties of Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, Solano and Lake.
"The hotline training is excellent and very intuitive," NBSP Project Coordinator Amy Faulstich said. "It helps make a warm connection."
The committee will also identify at-risk populations and target them through a suicide prevention campaign, such as the statewide "Know the Signs" campaign, as well as reach out to first responders such as medics and police officers and teach them how to properly identify and communicate with someone who is suicidal.
The room had about a dozen in attendance from various Lake County agencies and representatives including Clearlake Councilwoman Gina Fortino Dickson and Lake County Behavioral Health Mental Health Services Act Coordinator Jim Isherwood.
The NBSP project began in July 2011 in Sonoma and Napa, and is now expanding to the remaining counties.
"Suicide prevention is a cross-county effort," Faulstich said. "It is important for the entire community."
During the next 15 months, the committee will have focus groups, training and recruit volunteers for the 24/7 hotline.
"This is definitely an opportunity to fill in the blanks and reach out," Faulstich said.
Some target populations for prevention include Indians, teens, veterans and senior citizens.
Representatives from those communities will be invited to future meetings and discuss the best ways to help.
"There are lots of opportunities to engage, that's what's exciting about this committee," Faulstich said.
After the NBSP project is complete, Faustich hopes to have a the regional hotline running, as well as grief counseling, survival support and community education programs.

To mark the tenth anniversary of the acclaimed South-West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (EOC), based at Epsom Hospital, I had the rare privilege of being invited to spend an afternoon in one of its operating theatres observing a knee replacement operation.
As one of the fortunate few never to have been inside an operating theatre as a patient, let alone as an observer, I had a few worries beforehand.
Will there be lots of blood everywhere, what will it smell like, will it be stressful, will I have to rush out because being I can't stomach seeing the inside of another human being?
Arriving at the EOC in the afternoon, I met with the surgeon who would be carrying out the operation, Philip Mitchell, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at St George's Hospital, in Tooting, and director of surgery at the EOC, who carried out the centre's very first operation a decade ago.
Philip Mitchell, director of surgery at the EOC, speaking to Epsom Guardian reporter Hardeep Matharu
Chatting informally to me barefoot and in scrubs, he reasssured me that this was not going to be a stressful afternoon - either for the experienced staff involved, or for me.
He explained that the two-hour operation was necessary as the patient, a 55-year-old man from Wandsworth, was experiencing problems with a partial replacement which had been done previously. This time round, a whole replacement knee was to be fitted.
This would involve removing the existing metal implant, cutting away some of the bone to create a flat surface above and below the knee joint for two metal implants, with a plastic top fitted to the lower one.
Amazingly, Mr Mitchell knew he wanted to be an orthopaedic surgeon at the age of four. Born to working-class and non-medical parents, his secondary school had never sent anyone to study medicine at university.
But after winning a place at Epsom College's sixth form, he took his A Levels and went on to train at St Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, qualifying in 1991.
Insistent that my article should not be about him, Mr Mitchell spoke passionately about the work at the EOC.
He said: "This is the most efficient unit in the NHS. Our volume of work is bigger than anywhere else in the NHS. We are very well benchmarked against others in the country as it's a very high-quality service.
"The teams at the EOC are like a family and there is consistency in expertise so we can make the procedure the same each time."
Mr Mitchell said advances in anaesthetic procedures have really made a difference to orthopaedic surgery in the last 15 years as it helps speed up a patient's recovery time.
So instead of spending the two weeks in hospital of 20 years ago, patients are now ready to go home within four days.
A clever cocktail of anaesthetics means patients are in much less pain when they come round and are therefore more likely to start using the joint more quickly - which is good for both their peace of mind and their physical recovery.
"Fifteen years ago, you walked into the recovery ward and everyone would be screaming. It was like a torture chamber. The patients would be in terrible pain from the moment the anaesthetic wore off," Mr Mitchell said.
"The surgical technology is also more advanced now - the instruments used can be more accurate, and the implants have changed. The manufacture of them is more sophisticated and the plastic is more likely to last."
Mr Mitchell said the approach to joint replacement is now about "incremental change", rather than any all-in-one, 'quick fix' solutions which have proven unsuccessful in the field in the past. Knee replacements now last between 15 and 20 years.
The surgeon reassured me that today's operation would be a fairly blood-less affair as a tourniquet around the patient's thigh would prevent blood flowing into his leg for two hours - the longest time the human leg can go without it.
I popped in and said hello to the patient, who seemed calm and relaxed as he had been operated on by the same team at the EOC before, and then changed into scrubs.
Epsom Guardian reporter Hardeep Matharu ready in scrubs
Adding the finishing touches of a surgical hat and mask, I entered the operating room and met the team.
The patient was anaesthetised and surgical drapes were placed over his body, covering everything except the knee to be operated on.
Anaesthetic was injected into the base of the spine, targeting it at the lower part of the body, with further injections into the knee itself.
Mr Mitchell and his assistants wore protective body suits and head masks and conducted the operation within a yellow square in the centre of the room, free from germs and bacteria.
Only the surgeon, his assistants and a surgical nurse were allowed inside this area during the procedure.
With Moby playing in the background, the atmosphere in the room - chilly to ensure a hygienic environment - was calm and relaxed throughout.
Once the incision had been made and the skin on the patient's knee came apart, the existing metal implant could be seen glistening - much like a gold tooth inside a mouth of pearly whites, I thought.
I stayed for the entire two hours and sat fascinated, marvelling at the resilience of the human body and the skill of the surgical team who hammered, sawed and drilled at various points during the operation.
The knee replacement took two hours for Mr Mitchell to complete
It is extremely precise work, orthopaedics. The angles and mechanics of the joint have to be just right. There are no second chances. Mr Mitchell's face was a picture of complete concentration throughout. It was clear that he loves the craft of his work.
At the end of the operation, he sat down with me for a de-brief.
"It went very well - I stuck to my Plan A. You always have a Plan A, B and C," he said.
I asked him if he still found the procedure mentally stimulating work, given the number of times he has performed it.
Mr Mitchell said: "It is stimulating The day you stop finding it stimulating is the day you need to start worrying."
Speaking about why the EOC has been such a success for a decade, he said said efficiency was at the core of its mantra.
He said: "The patients are very privileged to get this level of service. It is a very relaxing environment and everyone pulls together as a team. The people who work here have a reputation.
"It is the biggest unit in the NHS in terms of volume - we see 3,200 patients a year.
"We get economies of scale - we buy so much that we can get it cheaper. We are financially attractive to the Government as we actually make a profit.
"We are one of the few units which does everything to a very, very high standard and still makes a profit."
Mr Mitchell said that it is not only the pooling of expertise from across South West London which is an advantage, but also the ease and efficacy of conducting all orthopaedic surgery together in one location.
Prior to the operation, patients are kept in a ward which is very close to the operating theatre and are then transported to a recovery ward close by afterwards.
"It was set up to do this. It was designed with the patient in mind," Mr Mitchell said.
"We don't cherry-pick cases either."
Mr Mitchell said that the EOC has its own corporate identity, which comes with a familiarity and stability in terms of its work and staff.
"From a clinical point of view, this is not Epsom Hospital. The EOC has its own identity. So if there are a lack of beds in Epsom, it doesn't spill over into here.
"We are constantly monitoring how well we are doing," he said.
Mr Mitchell said that a surgeon has to be consistent in their surgical technique, while always be willing to assess how well they are doing.
Mr Mitchell used saws, drills and hammers to perform the operation
The surgeon said: "You learn all the time. You have to have a personal desire to keep learning and there is a statutory requirement to prove that you are doing continued professional development.
"The EOC should be supported. The way healthcare is going, the busy acute hospitals are less able to run elective services.
"The landscape is changing. St George's will become a level one trauma centre.
"It's a very busy, very acute hospital and will be looking to provide elective surgery in a different way."
During the operation, Mr Mitchell said how difficult it was to read so many negative news reports about the NHS and its staff.
"We come in here, work hard each day and love what we do, so it is difficult."
The EOC is operated by Epsom and St Helier hospitals, in conjunction with St George's, Croydon and Kingston hospitals.
Since opening in 2004, the EOC has grown to become the largest hip and knee replacement centre in the UK and one of the largest in Europe.
It conducts 95 per cent of the area's spine, foot, ankle, hip, knee and shoulder work.
It has 65 beds and four state-of-the-art orthopaedic operating theatres.
In the last year, it performed more than 3,000 hip and knee replacements - more than any other hospital in the UK; had no incidents of MRSA cross-contamination; and achieved fifth place in the Healthcare 100 list, which is compiled by the Health Service Journal and Nursing Times.
The centre treats patients from the boroughs of Wandsworth, Merton, Sutton, Kingston, Richmond, and Epsom.

Jeremy does his best thinking at sunrise
JEREMY Britton is no stranger to sunrise.
The keen Vipassana meditator has been a familiar sight at Warana beach in the early hours of the morning for three years.
Jeremy's drawn quite the crowd - from drunken revellers stumbling home to curious beach walkers wondering what his story was.
He has kept track of his personal commitment - he will celebrate his 1000th sunrise meditation today.
"My goal's just been to do it as long as I can," he said.
"I never wondered if I could do 1000 sunrise meditations. I have no intention to stop."
Jeremy's way of life has been featured on his radio show based in New York, and a recently filmed television show in Brisbane.
His efforts have even attracted the attention of documentary filmmakers interested in telling his story.
But life wasn't always this way for the 41-year-old.
He suffered a heart attack at 33, got divorced, nearly lost his business and became homeless for a time.
He lost his daughter in 2009. It sent him into a deep depression.
"I had nothing left to live for," he said.
Eventually he was recommended Vipassana meditation by three separate people. "I took it as a sign from the universe," he said.
Jeremy took part in a 10-day retreat at Pomona to master the meditation.
When he left he wondered just how long he could keep it up.
"I did it one day, next day and next day. After I did it for two weeks it was a habit.
"I've been going every day since, for three years now. I missed some at Warana when I was in Africa for two months, but I got up for sunrise to meditate there."
Jeremy Britton has extended an invite to the community to join him for his 1000th sunrise at Warana on September 14. The get together will have an old Tibetan Buddhist monk doing a free guided meditation down on the beach from 5am followed by BBQ breakfast.

"This was a great easy dish. I used fire roasted canned tomatoes instead of the fresh. I doubled the recipe so I used 2 cans and drained them slightly. I reduced the chicken broth by 1/3 and added a can of artichokes in water (drained). I served with roasted asparagus and cresents. Even my kids ate it! It also made great left overs.

The Law: Title I of the ADA prohibits employment discrimination against a qualified individual with a disability. The law requires that reasonable accommodations be made to allow the employee to perform the essential functions of the job, or to assist the employee in the application process if necessary. The ADA contains strict confidentiality requirements for medical information related to employee's disabilities. The law also contains requirements for elimination of physical barriers to access. See also the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. § 4151 et seq., which governs requirements for handicap access to buildings constructed, altered or leased with federal funds. The Uniform Accessibility Standards (UFAS) are found at 41 C.F.R. Part 101-19.6. For modifications to programs and services under Title III of the ADA, see Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 in the section of this summary on Non-Discrimination with Respect to Students.
The administrative requirements, judicial requirements, and remedies under this law are the same as under Title VII.
Final Rule Implementing the ADA Amendment Act of 2008 81 Fed. Reg. 53204, August 11, 2016, effective Oct. 11, 2016. Regulations address both Title II and Title III entities. For guidance providing a section-by- section analysis of the revisions to 28 CFR parts 35 and 36 published on August 11, 2016, see Appendix C of 28 CFR part 35 .or a section by section analysis. The Justice Department also issued a short press release.
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amdend Title II and III regulations to implement ADA Amendments Act of 2008, 79 Fed. Reg. 4839, Jan. 30, 2014
In this NPRM, the Department is proposing to add new sections to its title II and title III ADA regulations at 28 CFR Parts 35 and 36, respectively, to provide detailed definitions of disability and to make matching changes in other sections of the regulations. The ADA Amendments Act authorizes the Attorney General to issue regulations consistent with the Act that implement the definitions of disability in sections 3 and 4 of the Act, including the rules of construction set forth in section 3. See the ACE comments to the proposed rules, which focus on the potential impact on higher education.
ADA Title II and Title III Regulations to Extend Compliance Date for Certain Requirements Related to Existing Pools and Spas Provided by State and Local Governments and by Public Accommodations, 77 Fed. Reg. 30174, May 21, 2012.
The final rule postpones the compliance date, as applied to the requirements for accessible means of entry for existing pools (public entities, Title II) and as applied to the barrier removal requirements for accessible means of entry for existing pools (place of public accommodation, Title III) to January 31, 2013.. Sections 242 and 1009 of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design set forth the compliance standards for swimming pools, wading pools and spas (Sec. 242) and pool lifts, sloped entries, transfer walls, transfer systems, and pool stairs (Sec. 1009).

Clarification With Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009
On January 29, 2009, President Obama signed this new law which is retroactive to May 28, 2007. The new law rejects the holding in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. In that case The Supreme Court held that the charge filing deadline on discriminatory pay begins to run with the initial pay decision, and squarely rejected the theory that each new paycheck amounted to an act of continuing discrimination. The Ledbetter law amends Title VII, the ADA, the Rehab Act and The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 to provide that the charge-filing periods would commence when: (1) a discriminatory compensation decision or other practice is adopted; (2) an individual becomes subject to the decision or practice; or (3) an individual is affected by an application of a discriminatory compensation decision or practice (including each time wages, benefits, or other compensation is paid).

November 23, 2009 ACE/CUPA-HR Comments on Proposed EEOC regulations: 9 pages of commentary.
NonDiscrimination on the Basis of Disability by Public Accommodations and in Commercial Facilities, FInal Rule, 75 Fed. Reg. 56236, Sept. 15, 2010. This final rule was finally published a few months after it was posted online by the Justice Department on July 23rd. This final rule revises the Department of Justice (Department) regulation that implements title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), relating to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability by public accommodations and in commercial facilities. The Department is issuing this final rule in order to adopt enforceable accessibility standards under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) that are consistent with the minimum guidelines and requirements issued by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board, and to update or amend certain provisions of the title III regulation so that they comport with the Department's legal and practical experiences in enforcing the ADA since 1991.
See the Pillsbury Client Alert on this issue, from August 2, 2010, titled New ADA Regulations Update Standards and Broaden Requirements for Public Accommodations. Also helpful is the summary of the new 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
Proposed Regulations To Implement the Equal Employment Provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act, as Amended, 74 Fed. Reg. 48431 (Sept. 23, 2009)
Generally, the overall effect of these proposed changes is to make it easier for an individual seeking protection under the ADA to establish that he or she has a disability within the meaning of the ADA. This is in accord with the statutory changes. For a summary of the specific changes, see the Jackson Lewis article dated Sept. 23, 2009 titled Long-Awaited Proposed ADA Regulations issued by the EEOC.
ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA)(Effective January 1, 2009)
In 2008, on Sept. 25, 2008 President Bush signed into law the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. The focus of this law is to clarify the definition of disability for purposes of employment, public entities and public accommodations. This law expressly overturns two Supreme Court decisions on the ADA: Sutton v. United Air Lines, Inc., 527 U.S. 471 (1999) and Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. v. Williams, 534 U.S. 184 (2002). The criticism of those two cases was that they had unduly narrowed the "broad scope of protection" provided by the ADA in defining the term disability.
In addition, the current EEOC regulations defining the term substantially limits (as significantly restricted) were found to be inconsistent with Congressional intent, and the EEOC was ordered to draft new regulations with a less demanding standard for an individual trying to establish a substantially limiting mental or physical impairment.
The ADAAA clarifies that an impairment that is episodic or in remission is a disability if it would substantially limit a major life activity when active. Under the amended law, employers may not consider mitigating measures when determining whether an individual is disabled, with the exception of glasses and contact lenses. An employer may be found to have discriminated against an individual if the individual can prove discrimination because of an actual or perceived impairment, whether or not the impairment actually limits or is perceived to limit a major life activity. This last sentence does not apply to impairments that are transitory and minor. A transitory impairment is an impairment with an actual or expected duration of 6 months or less. Employers are not required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees who are solely regarded as disabled and are not actually disabled. An impairment only needs to substantially limit one major life activity to qualify as a disability, and not just those activities that are of primary importance. Under the ADAAA the following are major life activities:
For tips on what steps employers should take see the Jackson Lewis Sept. 25, 2008 newsletter titled: President Bush Signs Landmark Amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act. See also the Comparison chart on the ADA as construed by the Courts and as passed by the Senate.
ADA Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities, Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Final Rule
69 Fed. Reg. 44083, July 23, 2004
In this final rule, effective September 21, 2004, The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) is revising and updating its accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA). These guidelines cover new construction and alterations and serve as the basis for enforceable standards issued by other Federal agencies.
The ADA applies to places of public accommodation (this includes private educational institutions), commercial facilities, and State and local government facilities. The ABA covers facilities designed, built, altered with Federal funds or leased by Federal agencies. As a result of this revision and update, the guidelines for the ADA and ABA are consolidated in one Code of Federal Regulations part, 36 CFR Part 1191. The Access Board has sought to harmonize the Guidelines with industry standards, particularly ANSI A117.1 standard and the International Building Code.
Advisory notes in the rule are provided for informational purposes only, and are not mandatory. The play areas and recreational facilities guidelines have been integrated into this final rule. Neither the proposed rule nor the draft final rule included provisions for multiple chemical sensitivities or electromagnetic sensitivities. Comments were received that urged the Board to address the acoustical performance of buildings and facilities, in particular school classrooms and related student facilities. The preamble mentions ASA/ANSI S12.60-2002, Acoustical Performance Criteria, Design Requirements and Guidelines for Schools and notes that this standard is voluntary unless referenced by a code, ordinance, or regulation.
Corrections to final rule; 70 Fed. Reg. 45283, Aug. 5, 2005
These are correcting amendments to the above final rule, effective Sept. 6, 2005.
Recordkeeping: Institutions of higher education are required to preserve any personnel or employment record for a period of two years from the date of the making of the personnel action or record involved, whichever is later. See 29 C.F.R. § 1602.49. In addition, all records necessary for the completion of Fall staff survey of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (Form IPEDS) (in place of the Higher Education Staff Information Report EEO-6) must be kept for three years. For the full history of this see Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements for Independent Colleges and Universities , 2nd Edition, NACUA, edited by Joseph W. Ambash, with relevant paragraph below.* See also 29 C.F.R. § 1602.48. An institution is required to keep certain adverse impact data for two years after elimination of the adverse impact. See 46 C.F.R. § 60-3.
Produce and File Report: The Fall staff survey Form IPEDS (in place of the EEO-6) must be produced biennially, filed with the National Center for Educational Statistics, and a copy kept for three years. Note that the form does not ask any questions on disability, but the heading of the regulations groups the ADA and Title VII together for the purpose of what records are to be kept.
Notification: Notification to employees and applicants of the ADA policy is required.
Grievance Procedure: While this provision technically falls under 29 U.S.C. § 794, note that any recipient of federal financial assistance that employs 15 or more persons shall designate at least one person to coordinate its efforts to comply with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and shall adopt grievance procedures that incorporate appropriate due process procedures and that provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of complaints. This provision is included here under ADA because these two laws have become intertwined in the minds of many. See 34 C.F.R. § 104.7. Note, however, that grievance procedures need not be established with respect to complaints from applicants for employment.

* From Second Edition of Record-Keeping and Reporting Requirements for Independent and Public Colleges and Universities, edited by Joseph W. Ambash available from NACUA.
"Pursuant to Title VII and the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101, et seq., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") has promulgated specific record-keeping and retention procedures relating to the composition of a work force according to race, ethnicity, sex and disabilities, as defined under the law. See 29 C.F.R. §§ 1602.7 - 1602.27. Prior to 1993, institutions were required to maintain all records and information therefrom, "which were . . . necessary for the complet[ion] of Higher Education Staff Information Report, EEO-6." Id. at § 1602.48. The EEO-6 was filed biennially by every institution that had 15 or more employees. 29 C.F.R. § 1602.50.
Beginning in 1993, the Department of Education, National Center For Education Statistics (NCES), assumed the responsibility of compiling all information previously submitted on the EEO-6 onto a new reporting form -- the Integrated Post Secondary Education Data System Survey (IPEDS). The IPEDS thus replaced the EEO-6 report formerly required by EEOC. Institutions must now submit the IPEDS to the NCES on a biennial basis.
Retention. All records used to complete the EEO-6 or the IPEDS, and the information therefrom, must be retained for a period of three years "at the central administrative office of [the institution], at the central administrative office of a separate campus or branch, or at an individual school which is the subject of the records and information, where more convenient." 29 C.F.R. § 1602.48."

Hala Shasht, or Balaram Shasti, observed in Bhadrapad month in
North India is dedicated to Lord Balaram, the elder brother of Lord Krishna. In 2017, the date of Hal Sashti is August 13. Hal Sashti is observed on the sixth day of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of moon) in Bhadra month. Hala (plough) was the weapon of Lord Balram.
Legend has it that Lord Balram was transferred from the womb of Devaki to the womb of Rohini to avoid persecution by Kamsa. In Vrindavan, after the arrival of Lord Krishna, Balaram and
Krishna participated in numerous adventures. Balaram was also the Guru of Duryodhana and Bhima. He avoided joining the army of either Pandavas or Kauravas in the 18-day Mahabharata war.
Special prayers are offered to Lord Balaram on the day. A partial fasting is undertaken on the day. Most people, mainly married women, only consume buffalo milk and curd. People pray for a peaceful life and for the welfare of the children.
A designated place is plastered with cow dung and branches of trees like ber, gular, and palash are planted and worshipped.
Unmarried women undertake the Chandr Shasti Vrat on the day.

Victoria II Latest News
Project Augustus is a game all of Paradox Interactive "always dreamt about doing"
It's the last day of the month and here's Teaser #7 for Paradox Development Studio's soon-to-be-revealed Project Augustus. We're told this is "a project we've always dreamt about doing," and not just for the internal devs.
Some have noted that Paradox has expressed a desire to boldly go to man's final frontier before, i.e. space. Could this be a grand strategy set among the stars? If so, what shape would it take? Real-time or turn-based?
"Elections and Technological Development are important" in Paradox's Project Augustus
Two more teasers for Paradox Development Studio's new IP in the works, which currently hides behind the name of Project Augustus. Yesterday's revealed Henrik Fåhraeus (Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron) as Game Director.
Today's says that "Elections and Technological Development" are important elements to the game. It's most definitely grand strategy material, but it sounds as if things could be moving away from a Roman era?
Paradox Interactive begin "every weekday" teaser campaign for Project Augustus, to reveal at Gamescom
The brand new IP that Paradox Development Studio is working on will be announced in full at Gamescom next month, but until then we'll be subjected to small teasers "every weekday" until they finally unveil the truth.
This will be the internal studio's "first new major IP" since Crusader Kings debuted over a decade ago. Teaser #2 tells us Seven and Three "are important numbers." We're then told to enjoy our weekend.
Humble Paradox Bundle with over $200 "worth of awesome stuff"
Paradox Interactive and Humble Bundle have proposed a royal marriage and accepted an alliance as they bring us the Humble Paradox Bundle with over $200 in gaming goodness.
War of the Roses, Magicka, Knights of Pen and Paper, Victoria II and more are just a few dollars away in this 'pay what you want' charity drive. Over $5.14 gets you Hearts of Iron III, Crusader Kings II and Impire.
Paradox Development Studios has two more titles in production using Clausewitz engine
The latest Clausewitz engine is fuelling the rise of nations and colonialism in Europa Universalis IV, and it's gearing up for all-out war in Hearts of Iron IV, but Paradox Development Studios has more in the works using that engine.
Crusader Kings II lead designer and Game Director Henrik Fåhraeus confirms there's "another game in production and yet another one in pre-production." Who's on the suspect list?

Alright... I was pretty busy all weekend and today, so as always I apologize if I repeat someone else's observations:
Nice of JO to play this weekend. Bender is so important to this year's team that if he can't play, JO has to come back early.
I don't think I've seen this discussed on here... I've heard Foster didn't travel with the team on this trip to Cleveland and Boston because the doctors feared that flying on an airplane this close after surgery could re-injure his hip. If that's right, that can not be good.
I loved the fact that JO was on a parade to the FT line during the Boston game. This guy gets abused as much as KG and Duncan, but takes far fewer FTAs. Maybe that gets fixed this year.
You could see that Tinsley didn't feel good.
Had to listen to Boston's announcers. They thought it was odd that Ron disappeared to the lockerroom shortly before halftime. So they send thier sideline reporter to investigate. He came back with an odd answer, he said this happens all the time, the Pacers take him back to the lockerroom to stretch at the end of the second quarter. So the thought that went through my head... Ron's always on on the court at the end of the second quarter, isn't he?.
This phone conversation really happened on Saturday:
Jay, "Not only did I have to listen to Heinsohn last night, but Cousy was on, too."
Jay's_Dad@Section204, ""
Jay's_Dad@Section204, "So who will you listen to tonight?"
Jay, "Oh, I always get Red Kerr when we play the Bulls."
Jay's_Dad@Section204, ""
Remind me not to be nice to him over Thanksgiving.
Anyway, Cousy was really impressed with David Harrison.
Tom Dore and Red Kerr made a huge issue of Ron and Rick having a shouting match before a timeout in the second quarter. I'm not saying there's anything to this, but if there are any announcers in the league that know when Ron's about to do something disruptive, its the Bulls announcers.
When Ron picked up his next foul, of course he went and sat in the stands instead of on the bench. Rick told him to get back on the bench, and Tom and Red thought that was a gutsy move by Carlisle.
Then Ron disappeared before the second quarter ended. Tom and Red didn't investigate, but they did start speculating. So Jay's_Wife@Section204 yelled at the televsion, "If you guys would do your research like the clowns last night, you'd know he does that 'every game.'"
Later they gave a half-@$$ed apology, claiming they weren't trying to pick on Ron, and they thing he's good person, blah blah blah.
Anyway, I just wanted to enter that sequence 'for the record'.
David Harrison is already challenging to move past Jamaal Tinsley as my second-favorite of the current Pacers. That guy is a legit center. Here's hoping he' ready to stay in the regular rotation.
This phone conversation really happened on my train ride home tonight:
Jay's_Dad@Section204, "This Stephen Jackson is going to be a terrific pickup."
Jay, looking out the window at the United Center, "I think Fred's outplaying him. Its a good thing he's rebounding effectively."
Jay's_Dad@Section204, "Well, its sure nice to see that Al's really tearing it up in Altanta."
Jay, "Yeah, that team's brutal."
Jay's_Dad@Section204, "Well, he's a cancer. And I've been impressed with Bender."
Jay, "What?"
Jay's_Dad@Section204, "One game on, two games off. That's an improvement."
Jay, "Okay."
Jay's_Dad@Section204, "Well, the offense just falls apart when JO comes into the game."
Jay, "Uh, and you wonder why *I'm* negative all the time?"
Jay's_Dad@Section204, "Well, Eddie Gill looks a lot like Micheal Williams out there, I think I'm gonna like him.
Jay, ""
After the Steelers game Sunday, I realized it has been a long time since either of my two teams has lost a game that counts. TheSauceMaster was supposed to send me a truckload of Nexium, and we do play Minnesota next, so maybe I need that anyway.
Jay's_Wife@Section204 and I are planning to go to the Bulls/ Spurs game in December at the UC. Its been a few seasons since we've seen TD play, and neither of us have seen Ginobolli play in person. So is that considered adultry if I pay to go watch another team? Or is it okay as long as Jay's_Wife@Section204 goes with me? I've been to some non-Pacers games at the UC, 'entertaining' (and I use that term loosely) clients, and I feel dirty even thinking about this, but I'd really like to see the Spurs this season.
Nocioni is the real deal. I wonder what it would cost to trade for him. The Bulls will almost certainly break this team up right before they start having success, and Nocioni is the guy from that roster I'd like to have.
Glad I drafted Marcus Banks AND Eric Piatkowski for my fantasy team. They both looked great against the Pacers this weekend, didn't they. At least Banks got into the game for a couple of minutes. Man, I stink at fantasy basketball. And I've already cut "Little Bro' " since he couldn't make Miami's rotation... what does SVG mean that a member of the Person family 'doesn't play defense.'

A tragic farm accident in central Wisconsin has claimed the life of a three-year-old boy.
The boy was killed when he fell from a bucket on a skid-steer driven by his seven-year-old brother and was run over.
The seven-year-old brother often ran the machine during farm chores, according to news reports. Read more.
Besides the human tragedy, this is significant for a couple of reasons:
- Skid-steer loaders are responsible for more than their share of farm fatalities. In one spate of accidents between Feb. 11 and Feb. 28 this year, four people across the United States were killed in farm accidents involving the machinery. Safety officials urge caution. Read more.
- The U.S. Labor Department was about to crack down on the types of jobs children can perform on farms ― and the type of machinery they can use ― but decided in late April to scrap the proposal. Read more.

You may have noticed this new acronym popping up on some of our products. RoHS stands for Restrictions on Hazardous Substances, and it's a directive that could have a huge impact on the production and disposal of consumer electronics. First adopted in Europe in 2006 (and later adopted in California in 2007), RoHS restricts the use of six dangerous substances in lots of common electronics. According to the official RoHS compliance Web site (www.rohs.eu), the RoHS symbol indicates that "new electrical and electronic equipment put on the market does not contain any of the six banned substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, poly-brominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), in quantities exceeding maximum concentration values."
While some military and medical equipment is exempt from RoHS compliance, the electronics governed by the standard are among the most common you'll find in your home, from radios to MP3 players to cell phones and (increasingly) computers. In practical terms, the standard protects factory workers at the production level, sharply reducing their exposure to hazardous substances. The standard also has a profound impact on the disposal and recycling of electronics, in that disposed substances will no longer have at least six of the most hazardous chemicals formerly found in electronics, and recycled electronics will not expose workers to toxics as they harvest components.
Let the sun charge your batteries! This solar charger holds two Rechargeable Batteries of the same type and size (D, C, AA, AAA and Prismatic). It puts out about 150mA and about 5 volts. Many other solar battery chargers tested were unsuitable because their voltage was too low.
There is a built-in stand on the bottom of the charger, which can be adjusted so that the charger points directly towards the sun. This will allow you to get the maximum charge rate for your batteries. The meter on the top shows you the current output from the solar panel. A diode is used to block current when there is no sun so the batteries stay charged. The solar charger will also charge 7 different sizes of Prismatic rechargeable batteries. Prismatic batteries are a fairly new battery used for some mobile devices.
The Universal Solar Battery Charger is small which makes it convenient for home, extended power outages and outdoor activities.

Cruz starts at catcher as Molina gets night off
PHILADELPHIA -- Tony Cruz gave Yadier Molina his first night off of the season Friday, the backup catcher batting seventh in the Cardinals lineup.
"Today is a day for Yadi and a day for Tony," said manager Mike Matheny. "We have been mapping this out for a while.
"There never is a good day to get [Molina] a rest even though we have a lot of confidence in Tony. We do need to get him in there."
A start is a start, whether against Roy Halladay, or catching Jaime Garcia, whom Matheny called as hard a pitcher to catch as there is in his staff because of the movement of his pitches.
"It was good we got Tony a few starts with Jaime over Spring Training," said Matheny. "Tony has a pretty good understanding of his philosophy and his stuff. It should be a pretty easy transition for him."

Well, it rules out the possibility of outsiders being arhats. If you're not part of the group, you must be dead if you were an arhat. So, outsider arhats can't exist according to that rule.

Hey all, this is my first blog so lets see how this pans out.
Here is what my ideal Summerslam card would be like. Please share your thoughts. Any feedback is much appreciated.
WWE Championship
John Cena Vs Ryback (c)
I don't really want to see these two go at it for the next few months and this feud may probably be over by the time we reach Summerslam but I don't see
