Adventure Activities Licensing Authority
This article needs to be updated.(November 2016)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Adventure Activities Licensing Authority (AALA) is the licensing authority for outdoor activity centres for young people in Great Britain. Since 2007 it has been part of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the government body charged with overseeing health and safety in all workplaces. AALA inspect and issue licences to providers. These licences give an assurance that, so far as is reasonably practicable, participants and employees can be 'safe'.[1]
On October 15, 2010, Lord Young of Graffham, recommended that the AALA be abolished and the existing statutory licensing regime be replaced by a code of practice.[2]
The AALA was created following the Lyme Bay canoeing tragedy in March, 1993 which involved a commercial organisation assuming responsibility for children's safety. A group of eight pupils and their teacher were accompanied by two instructors from an outdoor centre on the south coast of England. As a result of a series of errors, four of the teenagers drowned. The subsequent trial resulted in the prosecution of the parent company and the centre manager. The government initially resisted changing legislation until David Jamieson, the Member of Parliament for Plymouth Devonport, who represented the parents of the children who died, introduced a Private Member's Bill which in January 1995 became the Activity Centres (Young Persons' Safety) Act 1995.[3] In January 1995 an independent licensing authority, the AALA, was created to bring the act into reality.
The activities within the scope of the licensing scheme are:[4]
- caving (except in caves principally used as show-places open to the public)
- climbing (climbing, traversing, abseiling and scrambling activities except on purpose-built climbing walls or abseiling towers)
- trekking (walking, running, pony trekking, mountain biking, off-piste skiing and related activities when done in moor- or mountain-country above 600 metres and which is remote, i.e. over 30 minutes travelling time from the nearest road or refuge)
- watersports (canoeing, rafting, sailing and related activities when done on the sea, tidal waters or larger non-placid inland waters).
The consequences of the AALA have proved to be immense. The Activity Centres (Young Persons' Safety) Act, only applies to centres, companies or individuals, who make a charge for providing adventurous activities for under 18 year olds. This is only one sector of provision within Great Britain. The Act does not apply to voluntary organisations as long as they are only providing activities to their own members, schools providing for their own pupils, or Her Majesty's forces when on duty. Despite many providers falling outside the legal remit of AALA, the standards are widely regarded as applying to any organisation providing outdoor activities and would probably, according to Marcus Baillie (the head of inspection services) be used as "the standard" in any court case. It is not clear if provision has declined across the country as a consequence of the Act, but risk analysis and management systems appear to have increased. It is fortunate[why?] that the head of inspection services and the inspectors all have extensive experience in the field of outdoor education and are typically well respected within the outdoor community.[citation needed] This adds credibility to AALA and, one[who?] hopes, to the field of outdoor education in general. It is difficult to predict the future of AALA and the consequences of this on the field.[citation needed] One possibility is the expansion of the remit to increase the range of activities covered. Another possibility is to widen the remit to apply to all providers regardless of the age groups with which they work. Further options might be considered for voluntary organisations. This currently looks very unlikely, primarily due to cost. There is also discussion about a non-statutory scheme for those providers who are outside the remit of the licensing scheme, but again cost of implementation is likely to prove prohibitive. There is, not surprisingly, some debate regarding whether AALA has achieved its original aims following the kayaking tragedy (Loynes, 1996). One study, which focused on sea kayaking, suggests that AALA has had almost entirely positive effects on both quality and quantity of provision in sea kayaking (Woolven, 2004). Empirical data on other activities are not yet available and it appears that no one is currently conducting research in this area.
Although the AALA regulations appear to be working well[citation needed] and are typically well received[citation needed] they may have added force to the culture of over-protection placing, for example, an increased emphasis on safety and administration of risk assessments as opposed to a deeper discussion on educational practices.[citation needed]

Naturopathic doctors cooperate with all other branches of medical
science referring patients to other practitioners for diagnosis
or treatment when appropriate.
Naturopathic Doctors (N.D.'s) attend a 4 year post-graduate
naturopathic medical school. To get accepted into a naturopathic

In naturopathic medical school, the first 2 years are identical
to any medical school in the country. The second 2 years, instead
of learning about pharmaceutical drugs and surgery we study natural
therapies exclusively along with completing 2 years of supervised
clinical experience.

Mike Carroll leaves DNR Northwest Region director post
Mike Carroll, the Department of Natural Resources Northwest Region Director based in Bemidji, has been named the DNR assistant commissioner for field operations and community outreach by new DNR commissioner Tom Landwehr.
Carroll's promotion is one of three recently announced by Landwehr. The goal of the promotions is to usher in a new era of openness and customer responsiveness at the DNR, according to DNR officials.
"We went out and found the very best people we could to lead us into the future," said Landwehr. "I'm very excited about leveraging their skill and experience to better reach out to the people of Minnesota and represent their needs and concerns."
In addition to Carroll, DNR assistant commissioners include Mary McConnell as assistant commissioner for legal and government affairs and Erika Rivers as assistant commissioner for customer relations and outreach.
McConnell formerly served as vice president and general counsel of Polaris Industries Inc. and previously held a similar role at Genmar. Rivers is a seven-year DNR employee who was most recently project manager for the Lake Vermilion State Park development.
The DNR regional directors include Dennis Fredrickson in the Southern Region, Keith Parker in the Central Region and Craig Engwall in the Northeast. Because of Carroll's new position there currently is not a director in the Northwest Region.
Frederickson is a 30-year state senator with experience in natural resource legislation while Parker is a media and community relations professional formerly with Twin Cities Public Television. Engwall has been the Northeast Director since 2006.
The DNR's new communications director is Chris Niskanen who served as outdoors editor for the St. Paul Pioneer Press for the past 17 years.
In Commissioner's Office appointments, Bob Meier has been named special assistant to the commissioner for legislative affairs. Bob Lessard, a 26-year veteran of the Capitol and a long-time champion of the outdoors, also will become a special assistant to the commissioner for community outreach. He will work with conservation organizations and other groups around the state to ensure that the agency is listening and responding to their ideas and concerns.
Divisional leadership includes: Laurie Martinson, director of the new Division of Operations Services; Larry Kramka, director of the Division of Lands and Minerals; plus Ed Boggess, formerly acting director and now director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife.
Courtland Nelson remains director of the Parks and Trails Division, Jim Konrad remains director of the Enforcement Division, Steve Hirsch remains director of the division of Ecological and Water Resource and Dave Epperly continues as director of the Division of Forestry.
"We'll see a few new faces and a few new positions but ultimately these changes will enable us to become a leaner, more efficient, more responsive agency," said Landwehr.

the internet is not a "crime scene"(for this) any more than the postal system and newspaper opinion pieces were 30 years ago..
Yep. The internet provides a magical bogeyman to blame, precisely because it can't be captured or contained, But the only real difference between 'net and old-style printed rants is the net's enhanced ability to cheaply disseminate 'em.
If he were an old-style crazy, we'd have found journals scribbled in a crabbed hand, and clippings taped to the wall and slashed across the face.

A crime scene is a location where a crime took place or another location where evidence of the crime may be found.

Rodger's e-mails and posts to the Internet would be admissible as evidence of premeditated murder.
Once again, a self-made video, uploaded to the world via YouTube, is at the heart of a horrific news event.
Elliot Rodger, the 22-year-old man who authorities say killed six people in the Santa Barbara, Calif., area before fatally shooting himself late Friday, posted at least two self-pitying videos to the video-sharing site shortly before he went on his rampage.
The videos --- in which Rodger calmly and chillingly discusses his sexual frustrations and intent to ''slaughter'' those he claims harmed him --- were removed by YouTube after viewers flagged them. But they were repeatedly re-posted on the site as copies spread across the Internet.
Videos are routinely flagged by YouTube's users; the company reviews videos that have raised concerns and removes them if they violate its community guidelines.
Among other things, the guidelines prohibit videos displaying ''predatory behavior, stalking, threats, harassment [and] intimidation
Law enforcement authorities in Santa Barbara said they are analyzing Rodger's videos, which he apparently has posted online since 2012.
Elliot Rodger video removed by YouTube [washingtonpost.com]
Finally, when exactly did the angry rants of a mass murderer become rightfully characterized as a manifesto? Although Rodger's document is a manifestation of emotional disturbance, it hardly qualifies to be called a manifesto. A true manifesto reflects the political ideology of a formidable leader of men, a political force to be reckoned with. Nowhere in his 141 pages does Rodger describe his manuscript in such a way.
So why should we?
Why mass killers need to explain their plan [usatoday.com]
'Manifesto' ship sailed with the unibomber.
If that psychotic rant was a manifesto then everything is.
Manifesto is anything too complicated for a reporter to understand, they just assume it's genius/rational.
Answer: Top Posters
A: Because it breaks the flow of a message
Q: Why is starting a comment in the Subject: line incredibly irritating?
Questioning your own answers?
Whenever you want information^Wdata on the net, just post a wrong question.
Any more than the houses of witnesses are. It is a place where information about the accused may be found.
Like pretty much any invention mankind has ever come up with, the Internet can help or hurt. If someone is feeling upset over something, they can turn to friends online for help and can get assistance, support, and guidance through their troubled times. Or, if they aren't as lucky or don't look in the right places, they can find abuse hurled at them, idiots saying "Why don't you just kill yourself" and the like, or an echo chamber where particular prejudices are amplified and focused against Group X being the cause of all of the person's problems.
This isn't really that different from a distraught person seeking help from others via face-to-face social interaction except that the "kill yourself" jerks are probably somewhat less likely to say that to a person's face. Then again, some people I've met in person don't seem to care at all if what they say/do hurts another person. In fact, they consider hurting another person as "harmless fun." These people would be jerks even if the Internet had never existed.
If someone is feeling upset over something, they can turn to friends online for help and can get assistance, support, and guidance through their troubled times.
Internet "friends" are no such thing - they are just electronic ghosts of people. The relationship is superficial and shallow - no matter how nice it is.
Nothing beats face to face interaction with someone. Nothing.
We have mirror neurons [google.com] that allow us to connect and help with emotional regulation.

Not talking about it will not prevent it from happening again.
At their core these are suicides. Suicide is contagious.
Right now there are people on the edge of nutting up that are watching the attention this fuckwit is getting and thinking about it...
It's the same the world over, in Germany 'Ghost Drivers' (murderous suicides that go the wrong way on the autobahn) happen in streaks.
Reporters feed this problem. They have suggested advice (don't repeat the jackass' name constantly, report other things; don't focus on the killer.) but don't follow it.
Posting AC here, but this is something I wholeheartedly agree on.
CNN covered the whole biography of the shooter, read his manifesto out loud, and retraced his steps in very slow detail. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a monument with the guy's name on it. Of course, came the whining from the parents about how evil the gun sellers and the NRA were for not realizing their poor son was sick... but the kid was so rich, any doctor that stood in his way would likely have had a malpractice suit slammed on th
What killer?
It's becoming so commonplace that the public don't even remember them long enough that it's still fresh when the next one happens. Then they say, "Oh, it's like Jared Loughner all over again." "Was he the one who shot up the theater?" "No, he's the one who shot up the congresswoman's public meeting." "Oh, yeah. Him."
We've gone from "Never again" to "This again?" to "What a shame. Did you watch the game last night?"
How many people here know the name of the person that shot up Sandy Hook, or the Colorado movie theater, this guy, or Columbine?
Can't remember any of them, actually. I mean, I remember that those shootings happen, but I couldn't come up with an associated name to save my life.
Were we supposed to remember them? If so, I missed the memo.
One of them (Adam Lanza) I remember only because the media started going crazy with "He had Asperger's which made him shoot everyone up." As someone with Asperger's Syndrome and as the father of a boy with Asperger's this struck a nerve. People with Asperger's aren't more likely to commit violent acts than neurotypical (non-Autistic) people. In fact, they are more likely to be the recipients of violence. If they do become violent, they are more likely to hurt themselves than others and even if they hurt others it will be in an unplanned out lashing out (e.g. swinging arms because they are upset and happening to hit someone), not a carefully planned out event like these mass killings were. But, unfortunately, the media loves a simple "reason" and seized on Asperger's as "the cause." The whole affair burned Lanza's name into my memory. So it wasn't his actions that cause me to remember him but the media missteps in reporting his actions.

And how. Aother thing is the business of "You have to watch out for the quiet ones".
Everyone looking for a stereotype to hang people with. Everyone wants a profile. Problem is, over enough time, and enough murders, everyone ends up fitting th profile.

Only reason I know Klebold/Harris. I was in high school at the time, and not only the media, but freaking faculties were going scaremongering-nuts.
The other two? I know them as loony with a dipshit mother, and bad joker cosplay.
I expect I'll remember this latest jackass as Sir Daddy Bought me a BMW M'Lady of Friendzone.
What evidence is there that infamy is a motivating factor behind spree killing? I'm not familiar with any.
In most of the cases I have any familiarity with (which is most of them you cited), it doesn't seem to have been much of a motivating factor at all. Nor does it in this case. From the limited amount I've read about Elliot Rodger, it seems like he did have some desire to be heard and to be noticed, at least in specific contexts. He also didn't seem too shy about talking about his problems, at least onlin
you are full of shit, this kiler didn't care for fame. and no, I don't remember the names of any of the others, doesn't matter
Yup, it's time for the Moron Decree.
is to congratulate the NSA and FBI on what a fine job they are doing spying on us. How safe they kept us with ever intrusive nets. That they can't even catch a kid whose own relatives called the police on him worried and posted out in the open that he'll kill people.
And then they go on how they need more powers to protect us. Yeah, right, more like to control the populace.
Congratulations Law Enforcement. Awesome work.
They aren't watching. The articles of couples being approached by the FBI after doing specific searches on Google tells a different story.
Unless you happen to be dating someone who works for the NSA, then they might be watching you.
Or if you are a friend of someone who works for the NSA.
Or if you just got someone in the NSA upset for some reason. Like that article you published lambasting the NSA.
...and yet you would be screaming about "thoughtcrime" and "it's illegal to arrest people for precrime" if the NSA had actually alerted law enforcement. Isn't it wonderful doing the whole "damned if you do, damned if you don't" thing?
By the way, what part of the NSA's charter approves domestic spying on Americans for law enforcement purposes?

The spying has nothing to do with keep US citizens safe. That's an absurd idea.
Unless he crossed state lines, it's not a federal matter. This was the domain of California and the local authorities.
...will never get you a date if you (a) are a fairly nice-looking kid, (b) drive a BMW, and (c) have a father who employs actresses?
About the only one I can think of is "Let me tell you about Amway".
Have you heard him talk?
This guy pretty much defines 'utterly creepy psycho'. Just watch some of the video's discussed in TFA.
I haven't, but we were discussing this over the dinner table, and the consensus is that he must have given off major creepy vibes.
It raises an interesting question: what if he had simply received training in not sounding creepy? Interesting, because I think something like that really could set someone on the path to becoming successfully socially integrated, but it could also transform someone from a creepy sounding psychopath into a charming psychopath.
I guess that really depends on what the root is for his antipathy towards women/people/mankind.
In this case, I believe his social isolation was the root and getting him out of that with proper training and real-world exercise would have turned him into one of the many quite normal socially slightly challenged people in our society. If, however, some traumatic experience were the cause, then one would expect the result to indeed be a charming and doubly dangerous psychopath.
I think this whole episode yet aga
Not just social isolation, but falling in with the wrong crowd socially. Had he had friends who educated him about his misogyny (and had he listened), he might have turned his dating life around. However, from the reports I've heard, he fell into a crowd who - like him - saw women as objects who should bend to men's sexual demands and who got upset when women insisted on being treated like actual people. This added to his mental instability instead of helping him.
I read some of the (cached) threads on bodybuilding.com he was in, but even in those cesspools of ignorance, he was the crazy one.
Maybe the weirdest thing about those threads is that he also seemed quite socially inept online. Most not-ancient netizens would know that if someone said 'dude, you look like a total phaggot in those vids', the right reply is not 'WHAT?! I look fabulous in this vid. That is a $500 Prada sweater!'. Unless you were trolling, of course.
For many people that are socially really awkwa
Probably the kind of dating approach where he viewed women as objects whose sole purpose in this world was to bend to his sexual desires instead of viewing them as actual people. That would more than cancel out any much more superficial things he had going for him (looks, money, etc).
No, you can be a total psychopath and still be getting as much sex as you want - both in terms of quantity and quality. But you do have to understand people.
The first key insight is that most people, including women, are profoundly selfish. Very very few women will have sex with you because you deserve it. Almost all of them have learned the hard way that life isn't fair. And they're not inclined to bring a bit more justice to the world by having sex with you. You can be the Mother Theresa of male college s
So what I glean from this is "Step 1 in committing any crime: Delete all social media accounts before posting anything about it".
Only if you care about what happens afterwards.
That's like saying a better death penalty would have discouraged this guy. He never intended to survive and the only thing that would have held him back would have been the certainty that he couldn't have done anything to begin with. Consequences after the fact were immaterial.
Completely missing my point. Assume that datamining a la NSA, FBI, etc, actually worked to protect the citizenry from thoughtcrime before it becomes realcrime. Thus, the best way to avoid that worm, if you wanted to commit a crime, would be to delete all your social media accounts so they can't even get a network diagram for you, let alone posting bullshit rants about whatever you intend to use as your justification for going crazy and killing people.
Of course, the actual fact is that predictive analysis like this is worthless, because humans are non-deterministic creatures.
Deleting the evidence isn't going to help if the authorities were going to go all Minority Report. In fact, a sudden disappearance of tell-tale rants would be a prime indicator that the suspect was transitioning from the rant phase to the rampage phase.
The best way to stay off the radar is never to post anything to begin with. Which in itself probably gets you flagged in this Brave New World.
Humans are not non-deterministic, although they can be perverse. And, of course, they aren't rigidly deterministic. Y
Yep. These events are not massacres. They are loud, messy suicides.
When somebody posts to social media, and particularly when the police interviewed a subject, perhaps "subscribe" to their "channels"? When another posting is made with explicit threats, prevention should be much easier.
So, stop wasting time attempting to decipher secret messages and codes, and collecting meta data, when terrorism is spelled out so blatantly.
God! Please tell me I'm not living in a computer simulation designed by a "Terry Gilliam" like person!
Can we stop with this insane fetishization of guns and make the gun store where this supposed "law abiding" "supreme gentlemen" bought his instruments of death a crime scene too? America, when will this madness end?
Yes, let's just conveniently ignore the fact that guns tend to stand out from most other objects that can be used to kill or main people since guns are *intended* and *designed* to kill or maim people *at a distance*.
I don't like guns, I don't own a gun, I don't want a gun, and won't be buying a gun any time soon. They scare the shit out of me. All the same, I recognize a foaming-at-the-mouth hysteric when I see one. The 'insane fetishization' is coming from the anti-gun crowd.
Or does the summary read like a trailer for a Humphrey Bogart movie?
He killed 3 with a knife and 3 with a legally purchased firearm. He also tried to kill others with his car.
A successful [software] tool is one that was used to do something undreamed of by its author. -- S. C. Johnson

Will the Imagine Project change your life?
While Andrew & Pam Lake visited over 24 parishes in the Diocese before heading to the posting in Damascus, Andrew had been busy on another project. He has released this short book called Christian Mission for Tasmanians. This is a very personal approach from Andrew on this important topic of Mission written for the Missionary Diocese of Tasmania. Andrew says of the book,
"My hope and prayer is that this study will help put mission front and centre of the church's agenda. I make no claim to infallibility and will have achieved my aim if this has helped start some fruitful conversations about mission."
We offer our thanks to Andrew, having served in the Diocese as an Archdeacon and Mission Support Officer. But now we offer our thanks for this impressive gift to the church in Tasmania.
Of particular interest to you, dear reader, is the freely available nature of this book. In fact, you can click here to read it right now. So is it free? Andrew explains in his Forward:
"This study is a gift to the Tasmanian church. It is freely available on the diocesan website but I invite you when you use it for personal or group study to make a donation of $10 per person to the Church Missionary Society of Tasmania."
"The Anglican Church is hosting two public addresses on Climate Change and Ethics this Friday 25 February in Hobart.
Dr Michael Northcott, a Professor of Ethics from Edinburgh University, will give two addresses open to the public. Dr Northcott, will speak at the Friday Forum in St David's Cathedral at 1pm on Friday 25 February, and again at St George's Battery Point that evening, commencing at 7.30 pm."

Get A Perfect Body By Following This Simple Tips
Perfect body:
Almost every man dreams to have a sexy masculine sculpted body, no one wants to look fatty baggy and saggy. Many guys think that they are fat by heredity,, many think that diet and exercise does not work on their body. But the fact is that today, technology is so advanced that no one has a genuine excuse for not losing weight. To be brutally honest the primary reason of not having a perfect body is just laziness.
So if you are dreaming to have that wonderful body to attract everyone and to be under the limelight in every gathering, then you have to work a little bit harder to attain this lofty goal. Acquiring a perfect masculine body is not that difficult. The only thing that you should do, is just focus on your goal and do what I am going to break down here below
Get a perfect body by following this simple tips:
- Hydrate yourself:
When you wake up in the morning your body is mostly dehydrated. Drinking plenty of warm water early in the morning is very useful in burning fats. So when you get up in the morning just direct yourself to your dispenser to have a warm glass of water and drink it before you take your first cup of coffee.
Also read: Healthy benefits of drinking eight glasses of water a day
- Jump start with protein breakfast:
Guys who intend to build muscles and burn fats leave breakfast, they think craving will burn their extra fats. That's a wrong concept. Hungry stomach can never help you in building your muscular body. Building sexy masculine body needs proteins. So take a full on protein breakfast to jump start your long day with enough food but avoid your fat intake.
- Afternoon workouts:
Now after spending your day at office, when you come back home then just go for afternoon workout. That is recommended due to many reasons, that are, during afternoon your body is much more heated as compared to morning, on the other side you are less prone to injury and thirdly your growth hormones are at their highest level during afternoon.
- Develop X-shaped body:
The X-shaped body refers to the body with broad shoulders, very trimmed and narrow waist and developed strong calves. They can be achieved with different workouts.
- Broad shoulders: For broad shoulders you need to develop your shoulder muscles that make you look broader. Do workouts that includes pushups and pull ups daily for 15 minutes. You can increase this, from 20 seconds to 15 minutes from first day to 28th day because this is very hard exercise that can leave you fatigued.
- Narrow waist: narrow waist can only be achieved when you lose extra fat on your waist. The best workout is rotational exercise every day with carrying heavy weight.
- Eat protein rich lunch:
Your body needs more protein for muscle development. Eat protein rich lunch with some carbohydrates that help in slowing down your catabolism. This will help in starting the muscle development process in no time.
- Creatine containing supplements:
Creatine containing supplements are very necessary to take while weight loss and muscles building process to keep your body in balance. When you are working out your body lacks proteins for muscle development that can't be recovered with just protein food. Take advice from your trainer about the amount of supplement you have to take.

To clarify a Politico report today about him "angling to broker a compromise" with the administration over reforms to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, U.S. Senator Bob Corker, R- Tenn., a member of the Senate Banking Committee, said that after conversations over the past few weeks with a number of stakeholders, the ball is the White House's court to propose necessary changes at the bureau in order to get enough support for Senate confirmation of a full time director. Richard Cordray is currently serving as head of the CFPB in a temporary appointment that may be in legal jeopardy given a federal appeals court's challenge to the constitutionality of similar presidential appointments to the National Labor Relations Board that also bypassed Senate confirmation.
"I made some suggestions to people at Treasury and the White House as to how they might go about resolving this issue and getting Richard Cordray confirmed. We actually had some success in a similar situation with Carol Galante at the FHA, and there seemed to be an opportunity to do something along those lines here as well. But at this point, the ball is entirely in the White House's court. By making some modest and reasonable changes to the structure of the CFPB, I think we could have a strong Senate vote confirming Cordray as leader of the organization. But that will require the White House showing a willingness to move the process forward," Corker said.
In December 2012, Corker secured a commitment from FHA Commissioner and Assistant Secretary for Housing Carol Galante to make substantial changes to FHA underwriting requirements in order to begin restoring financial stability at FHA after substantial losses, primarily from a flawed reverse mortgage program. Galante sent Corker a letter on December 18, committing unequivocally to the implement these reforms by January 31, and her nomination was later confirmed by the Senate on December 30. The FHA announced the agreed upon reforms on January 30. Galante's letter and the list of reforms are available here.

Maddon to be cautious with Joyce on turf
Maddon to be cautious with Joyce on turf
Joyce, who missed time because of an oblique injury, was taken off the 15-day disabled list prior to Tuesday's game. After an 0-for-3 day, Joyce played again Wednesday, but Maddon didn't want to overwork Joyce by having him play a third straight day.
"We still have to watch him over the next couple days to make sure we don't beat him up on this stuff out here," Maddon said about Joyce playing on the artificial turf. "The back can really take a beating on this stuff, so be careful with it."
He added that he doesn't believe there is any concern for Joyce's health, saying that Joyce would be ready to play any game with just a little more time.
Tampa Bay started a three-game weekend series with Seattle on Friday, but Maddon is confident that during the club's upcoming road trip, playing on natural grass will help each of his outfielders.
"Once we get on the grass, they're gonna be fine," Maddon said. "But in the meantime, we just don't want to break them right here."

ATLANTA -- The 11-year-old boy believed to have been taken from Florida by a convicted child molester was recovered in a wooded area in northwest Georgia.
"The child has been recovered," FBI spokesman Steven Lazarus said Friday evening. "He is safe and he is OK. The adult subject is still at large. We believe he is possibly in the same wooded area."
Frederick Fretz, 42, picked up the boy, Adam Kirkirt, at Dunnellon Elementary School on Tuesday, police said. Their drive north ended when their car stalled on an exit ramp off Interstate 75 north of Atlanta.
The discovery of the car Friday morning triggered the search for the two. The boy was found less than 12 hours later, about two miles from the car.
The boy ran to police officers when officers spotted Fretz and began to chase him into the woods, according to Maj. Mike Powell of the Emerson Police Department.
Powell said his department received a call when Fretz and the boy went to a store to buy a gallon of water and some candy.
"We found the child maybe 200 yards from the gas station," Powell said. "Two of my officers were chasing the suspect through the woods and the boy was running toward us."
Powell said the search for Fretz was continuing Friday night with officers from Cobbb, Cherokee and Bartow counties aided by a searchlight provided by a Georgia Bureau of Investigation helicopter.
Powell said Adam "looked fine."
The boy's father, Ivert Kirkirt, said he was going to Georgia to reunite with his son.
"I'm going to hug him and kiss him and tell him I love him," Kirkirt said.
Authorities said a reunion between the father and son would wait until Saturday.
The boy's mother, Dorraine Kirkirt, said she talked to her son on the phone.
"He wasn't scared," she said. "He made sure I knew he was OK. I thought that was very big of him. I'm relieved and grateful, very grateful," she said.
Fretz was living with Kirkirt and the boy. Kirkirt says Fretz never told him he had been convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old boy in Pennsylvania 1991.
The men had recently served time together in the Marion County, Fla., Jail and realized that they had known each other as teens in New Jersey. Kirkirt had invited Fretz to move into his Ocala, Fla., mobile home when Fretz was released in October after serving a sentence for domestic battery and marijuana possession. The boy joined them in December.
"I just hope they put him away so he never does this again," Kirkirt said.
"I hope he burns in hell," Kirkirt said of Frentz.
"If you've got kids, don't trust them with anybody," Kirkirt said. "Keep them by your side."
Deputies took Ivert Kirkirt to the Marion County sheriff's office so he could talk to his son on the telephone in a controlled setting.
Earlier, Kirkirt said he was questioned by investigators for nine hours. He said was given a lie detector test, which investigators told him he had failed.
Kirkirt said investigators tried to get him to admit to being part of a plan to try to kidnap his son so he could have custody of the boy. He said he is going through a divorce with his estranged wife.
Fretz and the boy left their car at the end of an interstate exit ramp in Emerson, Ga., 40 miles northwest of Atlanta.
"It appears it broke down. There was a lot of antifreeze under the car," Powell said, adding that the car's license plate had also been removed.
The FBI took over the examination of the car and search dogs were being brought in from Cobb County Sheriff's Department, Powell said.
Authorities believe Fretz may have intended to set up a camp site at Red Top Mountain park near the area where the car was abandoned.
Kirkirt was under house arrest after serving time for probation violation on an aggravated battery charge and couldn't take his son to school because he only could leave home for work and church.
Fretz regularly drove Kirkirt to work, took Adam to school and picked him up.
Fretz left a voicemail message for Kirkirt Tuesday afternoon shortly after he picked up the boy.
"We are in the middle of nowhere. The only reason I'm able to call you is someone came out on a dirt bike and had a cell phone," Fretz said on the message. "We are broke down and we need you to come find us. I don't want to spend the night in the car. I don't know where the hell we are."
Wednesday morning, authorities issued an Amber Alert to notify the public and other law enforcement agencies once they learned about Fretz's Pennsylvania conviction.
He registered as a sex offender when he moved to Arizona in the mid-1990s, but never registered as a sex offender when he later moved to Florida, a felony that could have kept him in jail longer when he was arrested last September.
Associated Press writers Mike Schneider in Ocala, Fla., and Bill Poovey in Chattanooga, Tenn., contributed to this report.

Ald. Leslie Hairston's announcement that she's thinking of challenging Mayor Daley next year continues a long Hyde Park tradition of being a pain in the neck of Chicago's ruling dynasty.
It goes all the way back to 1955, when Richard J. Daley took power. His Republican opponent in that first mayoral election was Robert Merriam. Like Hairston, Merriam was the liberal alderman from the 5th Ward, and a scion of the good government tradition. Merriam attacked Daley over corruption in the police department and the Democratic Party. The Democrats responded by circulating copies of Merriam's divorce papers in Catholic neighborhoods, and spreading a rumor that his second wife was part black.
Merriam's replacement on the City Council was Leon Despres, an old acquaintance of Leon Trotsky's (he had spent time at the Communist's Mexican villa.) Despres spent the next 20 years as the lone dissenter on countless 49-1 votes, speaking out for civil rights and introduced an open housing bill, which only he voted for.
"We've got the only black alderman on the City Council," Hyde Parkers bragged, "and he's white."
Daley cut off Despres's patronage. Hyde Parkers didn't want patronage. Hyde Park was always independent of the Machine because Mayor Daley had nothing to offer its doctors and professors. On Election Day, winos got muscatel, poor blacks got a turkey, and white ethnics got a job as a bridge tender. The best Daley could offer a surgeon was a post in the health department, which wouldn't pay half what he made at a hospital.
Finally, Daley just cut off Despres' microphone whenever the alderman launched into an anti-Machine rant on the Council floor. In the eyes of Hyde Parkers, who couldn't stand Daley's racism and election fraud, that was a medal in the crusade for good government.
When Daley's son ran for mayor in 1983, he was defeated by Harold Washington, who happened to live in a Hyde Park apartment. Richard M. tried again in 1989. One of his opponents in the Democratic primary was the 5th Ward alderman, Lawrence Bloom, described by the Reader as a "nice, young, idealistic Jewish lawyer from Hyde Park." Bloom was known as the Council's "Mr. Squeaky Clean" until he was convicted of taking $14,000 in bribes in Operation Silver Shovel.
Hairston is the latest Daley nemesis from Hyde Park. She's so reflexively anti-Daley that she even voted against his sale of the city's parking meters, which passed 40-5. That didn't win her any points with the mayor, but you can bet it made Hyde Park proud.

With market's plunge and a tenuous economy, will members ever again whip out the plastic as easily as the once did?
ARLINGTON, Va. - Credit union card marketing efforts are going to have to be more intelligent, more segmented and carry more bonuses in the future as more credit union members roll their credit card balances into refinanced mortgages and face a sharply lowered stock market and uncertain economic times, according to a mix of both credit union and government financial experts. "Credit unions are absolutely going to have to know the demographics of their members who hold their credit cards," said Katy Slater, manager of product development for PSCU Financial Services. "We know from surveys that the number of credit cards in people's wallets are falling. Now they are only going to have two cards in their wallets, and credit unions are going to have to fight to make sure that theirs is the one the member reaches for." Slater said demographic knowledge was going to be key because every member is not going to have been able to refinance their homes to draw down their credit card balances and may still use their cards. In general, higher income is the first factor driving credit card usage and then age, with younger demographics needing or wanting to use the cards more than older members. According to a statistic collected by debtsmart.com, a credit management Web site, cardholders between the ages of 35 and 54, when income is among the highest, have card balances 5% over the national average. One key, she said, will be the use of what have come to be called "flexible rewards programs" which are more tailored to the members' priorities and thus can motivate a member to use their card more often. "Everyone recognizes the airline miles bonus programs," Slater said, "and September 11 knocked them for a loop because nobody wanted to travel afterward. But flexible reward programs allow members to choose the benefits they want." Slater said that even though miles bonus programs are still reeling from security concerns, other travel bonuses are still attractive, including discounts on hotel and motel use, discounts in restaurants and other sorts of travel related perks. Other innovative programs include merchant discounts and bonuses, merchandise "that people really want" and cash back programs are still popular, she added. The lack of bonus programs that people want might account for a survey published by Cambridge Consumer Credit which found that only about 25% of consumers said that a card's bonus or rewards program influenced whether they used their cards. Member benefit programs that credit unions have begun implementing can both help stimulate card usage and help link the member even more closely to the credit union, Slater said. In these programs a member earns points for credit card usage that he or she can use in other parts of their credit union relationship, for example to cut the interest rate on a car loan or to cut down on the points they might pay if the want a mortgage. "The point is flexibility, to get the member to buy into using the card," Slater said. Slater said credit unions need to understand why their members use their cards. For example, cardholders that use their cards frequently are often more open to rewards programs. Frequently they are not revolving their card balances from month to month and use the credit card primarily to make purchases without having to make frequent entries into their checking account ledger. They use the grace period and pay off their balance with one check a month, she said. Those users in particular are more open to using a rewards program than users who might use their card only for larger purchases, she added. One way financial institutions that have had a generally conservative credit policy, like many credit unions have had, can increase future credit card usage would be to allow their cardholders to have more credit, according to a Federal Reserve official who said the Federal Reserve rules precluded him from speaking on the record. He cited surveys and studies which showed that consumers with even very conservative credit card use habits, if granted greater credit, will wind up with higher balances six months after getting the additional line of credit. "I know it sounds obvious," he said, "but really it is a bit like the line `if you build it, they will come'," he said. He added that a credit union would have to be careful how it did this, but added that if a customer or member had a good history with the credit union or bank it would probably be OK. And he agreed that continuing to market credit card usage is liable to be a challenge. According to Federal Reserve survey data, outstanding revolving consumer credit has been either flat or actually falling at banks and credit unions. Consumers' outstanding revolving credit at banks is preliminarily down from $221.3 billion in April to $218.3 billion. At credit unions, members' outstanding revolving consumer credit remained flat at $20.9 billion after hitting a high of $22.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2001. But CUNA economist Mike Schenk linked credit card trends to consumer spending which, he noted, often peaks before a recession arrives but returns as the economy improves. He doubted credit union members would by and large stay away from using their credit cards. -email@example.com

Mount Toba, ancient volcano located in the Barisan Mountains, north-central Sumatra, Indonesia. A massive eruption sometime between 71,000 and 74,000 years ago expelled an estimated 2,800 cubic km (about 670 cubic miles) of ash and lava. That event is considered by many volcanologists to be the largest volcanic eruption in all of human history, and some scientists maintain that it sent the planet into a severe ice age that nearly caused the extinction of modern humans. Ice-core evidence suggests that average air temperatures worldwide plunged by 3–5 °C (5.4–9.0 °F) for years after the eruption. Some model simulations estimate that this temperature decline may have been as much as 10 °C [18 °F] in the Northern Hemisphere in the first year after the event. The remnants of the volcano's caldera contain present-day Lake Toba.

<h2 class="nci-h2-featured">Sonia Sanchez is the 7th Zale-Kimmerling Writer-In-Residence (1992)
Sonia Sanchez was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1934. When her mother died a year later, she lived with her grandmother and other relatives for several years before she moved to Harlem with her sister to live with their father and his wife when she was nine.
Sonia attended Hunter College where she earned a B. A. in political science in 1955 and went on to do postgraduate work at New York University and study poetry with Louise Bogan. She formed a writers' workshop in Greenwich Village and co-formed a group of young poets called the "Broadside Quartet." She was very politically involved during the Civil Rights Movement and was a pioneer in developing the black studies courses at what is now San Francisco State University where she taught in 1967 and 1968.
Sonia Sanchez's poetry defies generational gaps and is easily enjoyable and relatable to people of various ages. She manages to use her talent to splice the truth and surround it with captivating rhymes and imagery that integrate musical rhythms and let the reader enjoy the poem as well as reach an understanding of it when it's done. She has written more than a dozen books of poetry, published a number of plays, and written several children's books.
Sonia was the seventh Zale Writer-in-Residence in February of 1992. She returned to Newcomb in November of 2004 for Shake Loose Our Skin, a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Zale Writer-in-Residence.

Berlusconi tax fraud sentence cut under prison overcrowding law
Silvio Berlusconi has had a four-year jail sentence for tax fraud immediately cut to 12 months under a law aimed at reducing prison overcrowding.
The former Italian Prime Minister was found guilty by a Milan court of fraud and false accounting.
But a mere two hours after the four-year sentence was handed down, it was cut under amnesty legislation passed by the leftist government of Romano Prodi in 2006, when Italy's creaking penal system was some 20,000 prisoners over capacity.
Even under the four-year sentence, it appears unlikely that the media mogul would have to actually serve any jail time since he has two chances of appeal before a definitive sentence is passed, meaning that the case could time out under Italy's statute of limitations.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — At some point this season, likely within the first couple of games, Jamaal Charles will slide past Larry Johnson and breeze past Priest Holmes to become the Chiefs' career rushing leader.
It's a goal, sure. But it's only a rest-stop on the way to loftier expectations.
After arguably the best season of his career and now armed with a new contract extension, Charles has his sights set on the Hall of Fame. The two-time All-Pro running back wants his name to be mentioned in the same breath as Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders, players he ...

you know i am always trying to find a way to get these darn plumeria cuttings to root before they shrivel up in our dry heat. haha! well, i think i might have finally come up with something that will work for any cuttings that would benefit from a humid environment. this is version 2 - styrofoam container.
i started out with a home depot bucket and no fan. little fuzzies started growing on the cuttings after a day or so in the humid environment. plus, condensation covered the inside walls of the container. well, i add the fan for some air circulation. the fuzzies went away but the condensation still built up on the inside of the wall where the airflow wasn't that strong. that lead me to styrofoam because of its insulation property. well, i am happy to say that there is no condensation on the inside walls of the chamber.
the nice thing about the fan is that is supplies heat to the chamber. it was 83� and 78% humidity in there this morning w/o any external heat source when the room temp was 69�. i keep the humidity up by blowing air across the surface of the water not like it is shown in the pic. just switch the position of the fan and water dish in the pic. also, i mist the cuttings with vitamin B-1. the nice thing is that the cuttings do not stay wet long because of the air flow. however, the air will remain humid.
i make a fresh cutting recently from one of my dormant plumeria which is notorious for die back. not only did the cutting not die back, it produced visible callus w/i two weeks. woo hoo!
it is not the most attractive living room piece but it does the trick. it gets hit by direct sunlight during the day through the sliding glass door.

Thanks, TP! You may have saved about 80 orchids from perishing. I've been trying everything I could think of to raise the humidity in my makeshift orchid shack (9 x5) until my humidifier arrives. This took 20 min. to raise it from 21% to 50%. It ain't pretty, but it works! The tote is full of potting medium, but the lid holds quite a bit of water.
that is awesome to hear occarol! yeah, sometimes ugly works, right! haha! imagine that attractive cooler sitting in my living room.
you probably already know this but use distilled water in the humidifier.
has the humidity gone up any more?
It went up to 63% at one end and 61% at the other before I shut it off for the night. I'm only 10 mi. from the coast so we get the marine layer at night. It's often 80+ in the mornings, but drops to the teens as the day wears on.
so, do you open a window or the door at night?
This is great its like when we built our incubator with a light bulb thermostat and the more water you added the more humidity kept the heat with in a few degrees worked well looks like you two have figured out what works for you lol have fun with it
I close the door at night and set a small heater to turn on at 54 degrees for my warm growers. I used to keep those indoors, but I ran out of room. Unfortunately, this winter has been unusaully cold and dry, so the "temp. tolerant" ones that stay out year round are suffering. I think you have had as much, if not more rain than we have this season. We're getting all excited about the pending 1/4 to 1/2 inches of rain! I have inflos on two of my Plumies, one bare and one hasn't lost but a few leaves. My other big one is still shedding leaves. It's been an interesting year for gardening in the South West.
I use propane it has 2 heads fits on propane bottle really cheap to operate and let the electric go off. I have heard to many night mares about this happening and almost total lost rain here is next to nothing also very mild winter here hot and dry next month we usally get no rain for the whole month weathers really changing.
Great info TP!!!
hi dana. yep! i think that i have finally found something that works for me. woo hoo! it only took 11 years! haha! i just ordered some generic cuttings to test in the chamber. it's a good mix of hard and easy to root plumeria. i think that the propane heater are a good idea. you definitely do not have any surprises like when you get the electric bill. do you have to provide venting?
hi carol. i got excited when i saw rain in the forecast! : ) i have several plumeria out in the yard that i will probably just drag under the patio. i hope your plants pull through. i am waiting for global warming to kick in during winter.
hi laura. thanks! it has been fun coming up with this version of the idea from what is already out there.
HA! Don't get too excited. If you're lucky, some of it will make it that far. It's raining in Long Beach, it's raining in San Diego, but Orange County is mostly being missed, as usual. No measurable amount here, so far. Much ado about scattered showers, again.
bummer! it passed us by and started raining just to the east of us.
This message was edited Feb 8, 2012 8:42 PM
the $4 generics arrived on wednesday. i swear i am not keeping any of them! lol they are for a trial in the humidity chamber. some are hard to root and some are easy. they were cut fresh on monday and then shipped. here they are laying in the humidity chamber in a tray suspended over the fan and water reservoir. 91� and 84% humidity in there right now. hoping to see callus in two weeks. woo hoo! i need to pot up the one in the baggy!

- Is the "component" an accepted term and can be used as "JavaFX language component" to refer to the items on the Palette?IMHO documentation should always share terminology used in specifications.
The term "component" (or better "GUI component") is used in areas of AWT and Swing at least because there are corresponding classes java.awt.Component [1] and javax.swing.JComponent [2].
Note, JComponent is successor of the class Component. Hence, any GUI component in AWT/Swing applications is successor of the Component.
AFAIU a common ancestor for all "GUI entities"/"GUI objects"/widgets in the JavaFX is the javafx.scene.Node [3]
Note, although the javafx.ext.swing.SwingComponent is the base class for all encapsulated Swing components in the JavaFX, it also successor of the javafx.scene.Node.
Hence, I guess, "GUI node" is the best term that can be used in context of the JavaFX.

very disappointed customer
I was in your store tonight,January 2, 2014 and have to say it was quite pathetic. The produce shelves were very bare with leftover produce scattered just to fill the holes. Many of the advertised specials weren't available, and the sale just started today. The bathroom situation is deplorable.. Steinbach, it seems you want the big box stores but you don't want to pay to have the adequate employees to cater to the customers.

Basically Dan said Ollie would be safe if he dropped. He wouldn't drop so Dan said pick one other person that cannot be put up either in noms or POV. Ollie said Michelle.
Yup, with donuts!!
from previous days discussion... I don't think Michelle hates Dan. While April, Ollie, Jerry were calling him Judas and all those names, the only thing she said was he was burning... and she went straight into him and adultly asked him why he voted out Jessie. She wasn't mean.. I thought she handled it well considering that he voted out the guy she had a crush on.Originally Posted by Just Sayin;3173260;
and Michelle was ALONE when Jessie left. The only people who really truly talked to her after her HOH were Renny, Apil and Ollie. Memphis tried the side deal stuff in the storage room, etc.. but he ignored her all week, as did Keesha and even Dan.
No matter what happens... I see Jerry going home, period.
the deal:
Ollie is safe
Ollie picks another person to be safe, Michelle
Both he and Michelle are safe from POV
Ollie picks one of the nominee's, he picked Memphis
So Dan has just confirmed to Ollie that he and Michelle are safe. Memphis is going up and if he wants to stay he better win the POV.
Yup, with donuts!!

Amen Linkers. Dan wants to keep everyone happy and at this point you can't. I understand that if he went back on his word to Ollie and put up Michelle, Ollie would come after him. But the other side is going to come after him now too. I think he's thinking about the jury and if he keeps his word and makes it to the end, they will look at that.
Yup, with donuts!!
Dan.. Have you gone mental? He should put up Ollie and Jerry and if one of them comes down then Michelle would be the pawn to get the other person out. Ugh!
Dan said he wanted the photos and thats all he cared about. He kept saying that. And from his horizontal leans, I think Dan knew he couldn't last much longer.. and Ollie had a fire under his butt with April just being evicted.. so Dan probably assumed Ollie could outlast him...Originally Posted by Linkers;3173388;
I have always like Dan but if he sticks to this. I will be so disappointed in him. He needs to realize at sometime he is really going to have to break his word. One side is going to be upset with him no matter what he does

I get that but hes making himself a serious target now. Wish he could have been a bit stronger I guessOriginally Posted by ThinkPink;3173391;
