Fischer: Businesses Threatened by 'Flaming Homosexual' Job Applicants and the 'Return of Jim Crow Laws'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 1/4/2013 5:45 pm
American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer today blew up over the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), warning in a blog post that "ENDA would represent the return of Jim Crow laws." On his radio program Focal Point, Fischer warned that if ENDA is signed into law businesses will be faced with a barrage of "flaming homosexual" job applicants. "The homosexual lobby," Fischer said, "will send a guy in there wearing stilettos, a dress and dangly earrings" in order to provoke Christian business-owners "not to hire him."

We consider an incumbent firm and a more efficient entrant, both offering a network good to several asymmetric buyers, and both being able to price discriminate. The good has positive value to buyers only if the network size exceeds a certain threshold. The incumbent's installed base guarantees this critical size to the incumbent, while the entrant needs to attract enough 'new' buyers to meet this threshold. We show that price discrimination (in the various forms it may take) reduces the set of achievable socially efficient entry equilibria, and discuss the policy implications of this result.

The most efficient gout relief
2 people found the following review helpful
Posted by NatureHeals on Oct 18, 2012
I am a gout patient of many yeas and tried various remedies with different results. Black Cherry extract so far is the best prevention and curing remedy based on my experience. It helps prevent a gout attack if I have eaten or drunk something "illegal" and if an attack still happened it brings the fastest relief comparing to anything else. Black Cherry extract is my #1 gout medicine and the Now Foods Black Cherry is the strongest potency and the best value for money. Strongly recommended.

I seriously have gout. I could not find enough cherries to eat when they were out of season so the flair up became frequent. Someone suggested cherry extract and I found your site. So far so good no flair up so far.

More than two dozen retailers and e-commerce technology and services provider GSI Commerce are participating in ShopRunner, a new shipping service that, for a $79 fee, offers consumers two-day shipping and free returns—in direction competition to Amazon.com's Prime loyalty shipping program.
It may be tough to compete against the massive resources of Amazon.com Inc., but more than two dozen retailers and e-commerce technology and services provider GSI Commerce Inc. are planning to do just that with a new shipping deal they say is designed to outclass Amazon Prime, the big e-retailer's loyalty shipping program.
Retailers such as The Sports Authority Inc., Toys 'R' Us Inc. and Wilsons Leather already are participating in ShopRunner, a new service offered through GSI that, for a $79 annual fee, offers consumers two-day shipping and free shipping on returns. Amazon Prime, which also charges $79 per year, does not cover free shipping when items are returned.
ShopRunner also has other potential advantages over Amazon Prime, says Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor Corp., which helps merchants sell on eBay and other marketplaces, and which also has GSI as a large customer. He says ShopRunner could offer more exclusive deals and discounts than Amazon can on its own. GSI says the program's web site, ShopRunner.com, will offer those deals through a marketplace section, now in beta testing.
"We believe that members of such loyalty programs are inclined to spend significantly more than typical online consumers," says Colin Sebastian, a stock analyst with Lazard Capital Markets. "As such, ShopRunner should provide e-commerce companies with a competitive alternative program."
Participating retailers oversee shipping of their products but share with ShopRunner data about member purchases. Consumers also can go to ShopRunner.com to shop from retailers' web sites, and they can share their memberships with other people in their households.
ShopRunner will have more than five million items available by year's end, GSI says. Amazon says members of its Prime program can get free shipping on "millions" of items.
Online home furnishings retailer CSN Stores LLC plans to start shipping through the ShopRunner program in the first quarter of 2011, says Niraj Shah, the company's CEO and co-founder.
GSI, which spent $5 million to develop ShopRunner, introduced the service last month to take advantage of the run-up to the holiday shopping season and because of the evidence that free shipping has played a big role in Amazon's growth, says Fiona Dias, GSI's executive vice president of strategy and marketing.
By year's end, GSI expects 40 retailers that together operate 240 web sites will be taking part in ShopRunner. Half of those ShopRunner merchants will be GSI clients, Dias anticipates, though she predicts the number of non-clients will steadily grow in 2011.

Feed compositions are provided for raising meat-producing ruminants and polutry. β-hydroxcy-β-methylbutyric acid or an edible salt thereof (HMB) is incorporated in the ruminant or poultry feeds to obtain a substantial increase in meat and/or to improve the quality of the lean meat.
1. A feed composition for growing meat-producing beef cattle and lambs, consisting essentially of a protein-containing ruminant feed containing in admixture therewith from 0.01 to 0.1 weight percent of an edible salt of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutryic acid (HMB) on a Ca--HMB dry weight basis,
wherein said feed composition increases lean tissue development in the meat production of said beef cattle and lambs.
2. A feed composition for growing meat-producing poultry, consisting essentially of a protein-containing poultry feed containing in admixture therewith from 0.01 to 0.1 weight percent of an edible salt of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyric acid (HMB) on a Ca--HMB dry weight basis,
wherein said feed composition increases lean tissue development in the meat production of said poultry.
This application is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 07/472,090, filed Jan. 30, 1990 U.S. Pat. No. 5,028,440.
The keto analog of L-leucine (a dietarily essential amino acid) is o-keto-isocaproic acid, which is usually referred to as ketoisocaproate (KIC), or sometimes also as ketoleucine. In the accepted description of leucine metabolism, leucine is first transaminated to its ketoacid, α-ketoisocaproate (KIC). KIC then enters the mitochondria and is decarboxylated to isovalarylCoA by the branched chain ketoacid dehydrogenase. [See Krebs, et al., Adv. Enz. Reg. 15:375-394 (1976); and Paxton, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 257:14433--14439 (1982).] An alternate minor pathway has been described in the rat and human liver [Sabourn, et al., Fed. Proc. 38:283 (1979)]. This alternate oxidative pathway occurs in the cytosol and involves oxidation of KIC to β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyrate (HMB) by the enzyme KIC-oxygenase [Sabourn, et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 206:132-144 (1981)].
The administration of keto analogs of amino acids has been proposed for treatment of certain disease conditions in humans, such as uremia. [See, for example, Walser, et al., J. Clin. Inv., 52:678-690 (1973).] For nutritional purposes, it is known that KIC is an inefficient substitute for leucine. Rat studies have shown that the feeding of KIC as a replacement for leucine requires the feeding of from two to three times as much KIC as the nutritionally required amount of leucine: Chawla, et al., J Nutr., 105:798-803 (1975); and Boebel, et al., J. Nutr., 112:1929-1939 (1982); and Chow, et al., J. Nutr., 104: 1208-1214 (1974).
It has been proposed to feed small amounts of KIC in conjunction with animal diets containing sufficient leucine for the purpose of improving the growth metabolism of the animals. By using milligram amounts of KIC, some increases in the rates of weight gain and/or feed efficiencies have been obtained. [See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,760,090 and 4,883,817.] With mature sheep being fed for wool production, by feeding KIC the amount of wool produced may also be increased (U.S. Pat. No. 4,760,090). When lactating domestic animals, such as dairy cattle, are fed small amounts of KIC, the quantity of milk produced may be increased (U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,593). Egg production by laying chickens can also sometimes be increased (U.S. Pat. No. 4,760,531). Other effects of feeding KIC have been observed, including cholesterol reduction in meat, milk and eggs (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,760,090 and 4,760,531), and some apparently beneficial effects on the immune system (U.S. Pat. No. 4,835,185).
Why KIC addition to protein and leucine sufficient animal diets can have different effects than the metabolic conversion of leucine to KIC is not known. The beneficial effects of KIC on domestic animals are not consistently obtainable. Variability of benefits have been particularly observed in the KIC feeding of ruminants. KIC supplementation has not become an established animal feeding practice for any purpose. With reference to the use of KIC in feeds for cattle and sheep, a major problem is that the KIC is subject to partial rumen destruction, which is a variable factor. The use of rumen-protective agents and procedures for KIC has not been shown to be satisfactory for commercial purposes.
Nutritionally, as described above, leucine is converted to KIC, which in the mitochondria is decarboxylated to isovalarylCoA. In certain disease conditions, such as isovalaric acidemia, an alternate oxidative pathway for KIC has been observed in the liver, which may produce the substance β-hydroxy- β-methylbutyrate (HMB). To date, however, there is little or no evidence that HMB is normally produced in the metabolism of KIC. In some extreme cases, such as genetic absence of the dehydrogenase enzyme, there is evidence HMB accumulates in the urine: Tanaka, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 56:236-242 (1966); and Tanaka, et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 152:638-641 (1968). ln acidosis conditions HMB levels may be increased in urine: Landass, Clin. Chim. Acta, 64:143-154 (1975).
Animals can be stimulated to grow in a general way which increases all organs and tissues. In that case, overall weight gain is usually increased, and feed efficiency can also be increased, although usually not as much as the rate of gain. Muscle or lean tissue can be stimulated to grow at the expense of fat or other organs. In that case, weight gain rate may not change, but usually feed efficiency is improved. Thus, growth of lean tissue can be markedly stimulated without a major change in average daily gain, or other measure based on body weight. The meat industry is now moving toward paying producers on the basis of lean tissue weight rather than on total animal weight. Thus, it is becoming important to base performance on lean tissue gain and lean tissue feed efficiency. However, previous research with KIC had not shown that it specifically stimulates lean tissue gain (e.g., muscle growth). In some cases KIC has been shown to decrease fat deposition, such as in sheep, but KIC generally has not been found to stimulate muscle growth.
β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyrate (HMB) has been found to be more effective for improving growth metabolism of domestic animals than α-ketoisocaproate (KIC). A major effect of HMB is to increase markedly the development of lean tissue. This desirable effect is not obtainable with KIC although there is a slight tending for KIC to reduce the accumulation of body fat.
With reference to ruminants, HMB has the advantage of not being subject to appreciable rumen destruction. Consequently, HMB can be administered orally in defined amounts to ruminants, such as an additive to feeds for cattle or sheep, to obtain the growth metabolism effects and especially to increase the amount of lean tissues produced. Advantageous growth metabolic effects can also be obtained by the feeding of HMB to non-ruminants, including poultry being raised for meat production.
Increase in lean tissue by HMB feeding is typically accompanied by a decrease in the amount of fat contained in separate fatty layers, as distinguished from marbling fat distributed in lean tissue. With respect to beef cattle and sheep, feeding requirements take into consideration the distribution of fat (marbling) in the lean tissue, for example, by rib-eye examination. The feed compositions of this invention do not result in downgrading of carcasses because of reduced marbling, but instead provides as good or better fat distribution within the lean tissues. Juicy, flavorful lean meat can thereby be produced.
The desired growth effects described above can be obtained by the oral administration of calcium-HMB (Ca--HMB) or equivalent molar amount of other water-soluble non-toxic HMB salt. Amounts as low as 15 to 35 milligrams (mg) per kilogram (kg) of body weight per 24 hours can be used.
The compound used for practicing the present invention is β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyric acid or an edible butyrate salt thereof. The free acid compound is also called β-hydroxy-isovalaryic acid. It has the following structure: ##STR1##
This compound in both free acid and salt form is referred to herein generically as "HMB". The acid form is designated HMB acid, and the specific salt form, such as the calcium or sodium salts, as Ca--HMB or Na--HMB. HMB has no isomers and accordingly does not exist in L or D forms. For the purpose of the present invention, it is preferred to employ HMB in the form of an edible salt rather than as the free acid. Preferably the salt form is water-soluble or becomes water-soluble in the stomach or intestines of the domestic animal. A preferred salt is the calcium salt (Ca--HMB). Sodium (Na--HMB) can also be used but Na--HMB is more hydroscopic than Ca--HMB. Other non-toxic salts can be used such as other alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts. For mixing with feed ingredients, it is preferred that the salt form be dry, non-sticky, and finely-divided for blending with the feed materials. Ca--HMB is particularly desirable for these reasons.
HMB is not known to be commercially available. However, procedures are known for synthesizing this compound from commercially available starting materials. For example, HMB can be synthesized by oxidation of diacetone alcohol (4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone). One suitable procedure is described by Coffman, et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 80:2882-2887, at 2885 (1958). As there described, β-hydroxy-isovalaryic acid (HMB) is synthesized by an alkaline sodium hypochlorite oxidation of diacetone alcohol. The product is recovered in free acid form, which can be converted to the desired salt. For example, HMB can be prepared as its calcium salt (Ca--HMB) by a similar procedure to that of Coffman, et al. in which the HMB acid obtained is neutralized with calcium hydroxide, and recovered by crystallization from an aqueous ethanol solution. For example, a 95% ethanol solution can be used with the Ca--HMB at about a 10% concentration. Such a procedure is illustrated in more detail in the following examples.
To assure administration at a desired level, it is preferred to mix the dry HMB salt with the dry feed ingredients to a predetermined concentration. The HMB salt can be incorporated by dry blending using standard mixing equipment. The HMB should be substantially uniformly distributed throughout the feed. After mixing, if desired, the feed material may be further processed, such as by conversion to pellets.
Most feed compositions for domestic animals, such as for the raising of ruminants or poultry, are composed of mixtures of feed ingredients. These feed compositions contain protein-providing ingredients as principal components. These feed ingredients usually provide at least 10% protein by weight on a total dry matter basis, and may contain as much as 24% or more by weight. Such mixed feed compositions may comprise complete feeds or feed concentrates.
When HMB is combined with the feed material as a uniform mixture, and the feed composition provides the major food source for the diet, the amount of HMB may be specified in relation to the feed composition. For example, the admixed total ration feed compositions may contain from 0.001 to 0.5 wt % HMB (Ca--HMB and dry feed basis). On the same basis, a presently preferred range is from about 0.01 to 0.1 wt. % HMB. Such complete feed compositions will usually contain at least 10% protein and may contain up to 24% protein (N�6.25). For example, beneficial growth effects such as enhanced lean tissue development can be obtained in preferred embodiments by incorporating from about 0.02 to 0.04 wt. % (dry basis) of Ca--HMB or molar equivalent amount of another edible non-toxic water-soluble salt of HMB.
The foregoing feed composition levels of HMB relate primarily to feeds which are formulated to comprise substantially the total ration of the animal. Where feed supplements or feed concentrates are employed as the vehicle for administering the HMB, greater concentrations may be required. The concentrations can be similarly related to either the total diet of the animal, or to the body weight of the animals being fed.
It is believed that some beneficial effects can be obtained with as little as 0.05 to 0.2 milligrams (mg) of HMB (Ca--HMB basis) per kilogram (kg) body weight per 24 hours. It will usually be desirable, however, to administer at least 0.5 mg/kg body weight/24 hrs (Ca--HMB basis). It will not usually be necessary to administer more than 100 mg HMB (Ca--HMB basis) per kilogram of body weight per 24 hours, but higher amounts can be given up to 400 to 500 milligrams HMB on the stated basis. An optimum range for most domestic animals is believed to be from about 15 to 35 mg/kg body weight/24 hrs (Ca--HMB basis).
As previously indicated, it is preferred to combine HMB with a complete feed ration, feed concentrate, or other dry feed material being given to the cattle, sheep, chickens, turkeys, or other domestic animal responsive to HMB. In certain cases, however, HMB could be administered by dissolving it in drinking water for the animals. However, control of the amount administered in water can be expected to be more difficult. For more precise control, HMB could be orally administered in the form of pellets. For example, such pellets could be spread as a top dressing on the daily (24 hr) feed ration for each animal. Other methods of administration could be used.
As far as is known, HMB is not subject to significant rumen destruction. Following oral administration, the HMB salt appears to pass intact through the rumen into the intestines of the ruminant where it is absorbed. For the purpose of the present invention, it is believed that HMB should be absorbed into and distributed in the circulatory system.
In improving growth metabolism of domestic animals, several different effects can be selected as a primary purpose of the HMB administration. For example, with respect to animals being raised for meat production, including beef cattle, such as steers and heifers, as well as lambs, and chicks, a principal objective can be to increase the development of lean tissue while minimizing the accumulation of body fat. Another objective is to improve the quality of meat by better fat distribution (marbling) in the lean meat as distinguished for separate accumulations of fat. Juicier and more flavorful meat can thereby be produced.
The method of this invention and the feed compositions for use therein can be further illustrated by the following experimental examples.
Reaction is contained in a 5000 ml round bottom flask fitted with condenser. Constant mixing is achieved by a magnetic stirrer.
Add in sequence:
1 gallon bleach (5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite)
45 g NaOH powder
Mix well.
150 ml 1,4 Dioxane
93 ml 4-Hydroxy-4-Methyl-2-Pentanone.
Reflux for 40 minutes.
Transfer solution to washtub and cool for 30 minutes under a hood.
pH to 5 using concentrated H2 SO4. (HMB is stabilized.)
Transfer solution to cooling pans under a vent hood, so that air is drawn in over the solution for faster evaporation. Use the steam table if possible.
Let solution evaporate overnight. Sodium sulfate salts will precipitate out forming a slurry.
Transfer slurry to washtub, and adjust pH to 1 using concentrated H2 SO4.
Salts and solution may be extracted separately depending on the volume available after evaporation.
Transfer solution with/without salts to 10 liter bottle, and wash 4� with approximately 2 liters of Ethyl Acetate. (Acetate layer contains HMB.)
Save ethyl acetate layer. Discard final acid layer.
Roto Vap Acetate layer at 50� C.
Salts may precipitate out.
Solubilize in Ultra-pure H2 O.
Add an equal volume of Ethyl Acetate and re-extract. Save ethyl acetate layer.
Roto Vap Acetate layer at 50� C.
Increase Temperature to 70� C. and continue Roto Vap. Remaining solution contains HMB and is ready for crystallization.
The dried HMB acid is neutralized with calcium hydroxide powder. The powder is added to the stirring HMB acid until a basic pH is reached. The pH is assessed with pH paper. The HMB solidifies at this point and is subsequently dissolved in hot 95% ethanol at a volume of 10 times the original acid volume. Material that does not dissolve is removed from the liquid by centrifugation or filtration. The ethanol-HMB solution is then placed at -20% F until the mixture crystallizes. Usually this takes overnight but can take 2-3 days. The HMB crystals are then filtered under vacuum through paper towels and liquid squeezed out of the cake-like crystals. The HMB crystals are then redissolved in hot ethanol and the process repeated. In most cases 3 recrystallizations are sufficient to fully remove any yellow color from the crystals. Further purification can be achieved by further crystallization. After the final crystallization the HMB is placed in a pan and freeze-dried overnight to obtain an anhydrous calcium HMB powder ready for feed additive use.
Rumen fluid was collected from a fistulated steer. After filtration and dilution (1:4) with an artificial saliva, 25 ml of the solution was added to 50 ml plastic tubes. Each tube was fitted with a one-way valve to allow gases to escape while not allowing air into the tube. Each tube was then gassed with CO2 and incubated at 39� C. After 30 min a solution of KIC or HMB was added to the tube in concentrations to simulate what would be present in the rumen of an animal consuming 0.05% of the diet as KIC or HMB. It was estimated that a 50 μM concentration would be attained in this case. At timed intervals 50μl samples of this rumen fluid were taken and analyzed for KIC and HMB. The results are shown in Table A.
TABLE A______________________________________Time afterAddition (min) KIC HMB______________________________________ 0 30* 6015 15 7630 4 8160 2 71240 2 74480 1 74______________________________________ *Initial concentration of KIC could only be estimated. The initial concentrations should have been -50 uM but because of the rapid degradation of KIC in the rumen, KIC was already being degraded before th 0 time collection could be cooled and processed.
The foregoing shows that KIC is rapidly destroyed by the rumen bacteria while HMB is quite stable in a rumen environment.
Animals and Experimental Design. Three sets of twin lambs were housed individually in fiberglass pens. Animals were randomly assigned to control or HMB diets, using Ca--HMB as the feed additive at a level of 0.5% of the basal diet.

The results are summarized below in Table C.

As shown by the foregoing data, in this limited study HMB appeared to stimulate growth of lean tissues at the expense of fat. Both measures of fat decreased dramatically while the muscle weight increased substantially from controls.
Animals and Experimental Design. Twenty-two lambs were housed individually in fiberglass pens (1.15 m2) and randomly assigned to control or HMB diets. The control had nothing added to the diet while the HMB animals had 1 g of CaHMB supplemented to their diets each day. At the beginning of the experiment animals were weighed and ultrasound measurements made of the longissimus area and the amount of fat over the longissimus muscle. These measurements were made over the 12th rib area. Feed consumption was monitored. At the end of the experiment animals were weighed, feed consumption measured and the longissimus area and fat thickness measured again with the ultrasound apparatus. The gain in longissimus area and backfat were calculated from the initial value. This noninvasive method of estimating muscle and fat deposition has been shown to be a reliable method of assessing these values without slaughtering the animal.

The foregoing data indicates that HMB supplementation increases performance and increases lean vs. fat gain. These results are therefore corroborative of those of the first trial.
To compare KIC and HMB as growth promotants, young male leghorn chicks were allotted to 12 battery (wire mess floors) pens consisting of 10 birds each. Treatments of control, HMB (0.04% of the diet) and KIC (0.04% of the diet) were assigned to the pens Feed consumption was measured during the 5 week experiment. During week 2 of the experiment chicks were injected with 50 μl of a 20% suspension of pig red blood cells intraperitoneally.
Chicks were fed a diet adequate in all nutrients for leghorns of this age. HMB was a supplement to this diet at 0.04% of the diet (w/w). The following diet was used as shown in Table F.
TABLE F______________________________________Ingredients (KG Each) Control Diet HMB Diet______________________________________Ground corn 59.3 59.3Soybean meal 19.7 19.7Wheat Middlings 13.4 13.4Fish Meal 3.0 3.0Calcium Carbonate 0.71 0.66Dicalcium Phosphate 0.38 0.38Meat and bone meal 3.0 3.0Premix of vitamins & minerals 0.6 0.6HMB 0.0 0.05______________________________________
At the end of the 5 week experiment chicks were decapitated and serum collected for pig red blood cells antibody titer determination. Titers to red blood cells were evaluated by a microtiter agglutination test (Kuhlman, et al.). Also, the Pectoralis major muscle (the major breast muscle) was dissected and weighed as a measure of muscle growth. The data is summarized in Tables G1 and G2.
TABLE G1______________________________________Growth and Feed Efficiency of Male LeghornsFed KIC and HMB (5 week data) Control KIC HMB______________________________________Gain (g) 222 229 229Feed/gain 2.30 2.24 2.17Breast muscle (%) 2.84 2.94 3.00Red blood cell titer 1.57 2.65 3.25(dilution)______________________________________

The foregoing data shows that HMB increased performance of growing chicks by increasing the rate of growth and by making more efficient use of feed for growth. Additionally, it appears that muscle growth is stimulated relative to other tissues as evidenced by increased breast muscle size. Compared to KIC, HMB was superior in all parameters measured.
To obtain the advantages of the method and feed compositions of this invention for selectively increasing lean tissue formation while minimizing fat deposition in the raising of meat producing animals, it will be preferred to feed the animals the HMB on a daily basis while the animals are increasing in weight, and to continue the feeding for at least 10 days and up to 180 days, depending on the animals being fed. With beef cattle, for example, HMB is preferably fed for periods of at least 30 up to 180 days; with lambs, for periods of at least 15 up to 100 days; for chickens, for periods of at least 10 up to 50 days, and for turkeys, for periods of at least 10 up to 100 days. The periods referred to are when animals being raised are growing to market weight sizes. The maximum advantage of HMB administration should be obtained when fat being deposited and time deposition have decreased, which usually occurs in the later portion of feeding before marketing. Incorporation of HMB in finishing rations is therefore especially desirable.

These Personalized Fabric Bookmarks would make great gifts for anyone. No need to wonder how to make handmade bookmarks anymore...this tutorial from Heather Valentine is easy to follow and results in a really cute fabric craft!
- Fabric scraps
- Mod Podge
- Felt
- Ribbon
- Cut 1 piece of fabric and 1 felt 6 1/2″ long x 2 1/4″ wide. Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to your pressed fabric to "stiffen" the fabric and give it more texture. Reserve felt for step 4.
- To personalize my bookmark, I created a small patch by layering felt and fabric. Then added a few decorative stitches found standard on "Ellie". Feel free to do this by hand. Get creative- maybe one large initial, a heart, xoxo… anything works! And if you don't want to sew this part, print off something from clip art and Mod Podge it to the face of book mark.
- Position and stitch your patch to the face of your bookmark. I used straight stitch but feel free to use those fun stitches on your machine!
- Then layer the felt behind your front and sandwich your ribbon along the top center. Join all layers together with a simple stitch. Be sure to back-stitch over the ribbon for extra strength.

Get the ultimate foundation in Adobe Photoshop CC, in this update to the flagship series Photoshop One-on-One. Deke takes you on a personalized tour of the basic tools and techniques that lie behind great images and graphic design, while keeping you up to speed with the newest features offered with Creative Cloud. Learn to open images from multiple sources, get around the panels and menus, and work with layers—the feature that allows you to perform masking, combine effects, and perform other edits nondestructively. Then Deke shows how to perform important editing tasks, such as cropping and straightening images, adjusting the luminance of your image, correcting color imbalances and enhancing color creatively, and finally, retouching and healing.
In this movie, I'll show you your final zoom option which is to dial in a custom zoom value, which is great for establishing a wide, centered view. When I first opened this image in this particular screen, it comes in at 16.7%, which is just too far away. If I press Ctrl+0 or Command+0 on the Mac to fit the image to the screen, you can see that Photoshop is conservative, leaving a fair amount of pasteboard around the edge which can be useful when you are trying to edit the image all the way to its perimeter.
But in my case, I don't want to see any of the pasteboard. If I press Ctrl++ or Command++ on the Mac, I go the next increment, 25% which ends up cutting off the side of the model's face. So I need to find something in between. I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+0 or Command+0 on the Mac to zoom back out. Notice you have this custom zoom value down here in the lower-left corner of the Image window, so you can dial with your own value. For example, I'll enter 20% and then press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac, in order to zoom just slightly in.
But that's not quite far enough and you can see how this would get to be little but laborious after a while. So here is the most precise way to work. I'll click inside this value and then I press the Up arrow key a couple of times, let's say, to take that value to 22%. I don't know if that's going to work because Photoshop is not previewing the zoom on the fly. However, if I press Shift+Enter or Shift+Return on the Mac, then I can apply that value while keeping inactive, and I can see that 22% still leaves a little bit of edge over here on the left.
So I'll press the Up arrow key one more time to take that value to 23% and then I'll press Shift+Enter or Shift+ Return again and I can see that 23% is exactly what I want. Here's another way to work with the option. If you want to be able to preview the zooms on the fly, you press and hold the Ctrl key or the Command key on the Mac, and notice that your cursor changes to the scrub cursor meaning that you can now scrub the value. So if I scrub to the right, I'm going to zoom in on the fly, and if I scrub to left, I'm going to zoom out on the fly.
I can do so with a great deal of precision because basically, every pixel that I scrub translates to a single percentage of zoom. When you figure out the zoom ratio that works for you, just press the Enter key or the Return key on the Mac in order to exit that value. And that's how you zoom with the ultimate in precision control here inside Photoshop.

Oceanside seeks developers for planned resort
OCEANSIDE -- The Oceanside City Council is officially looking for a new company to build the beachfront resort that the city has been wanting for nearly two decades.
On Wednesday, the council unanimously approved plans to solicit developers to build a high-end beach resort on two vacant parcels near the city's pier. The city will send information to more than 400 developers and hotel chains, hoping to find a company to build its new resort.
The city's initial request to developers is more of a get-to-know-you affair than a call for bids for a specific project, said city economic development Director Jane McVey. The city will seek formal bids in about six weeks from a group of developers culled from this initial request, she said.
"We're not asking for a project," McVey said, adding that instead the city will be asking "what is your firm, what have you done, and what is your experience."
McVey said the city's initial request will go to developers late this week or early next, and the deadline to respond is April 2. Also, Oceanside will buy ads in The Wall Street Journal, and the San Diego and Orange County business journals.
The council is scheduled to review the responses at its April 21 meeting, and McVey said the formal bid request, or "request for proposals," is scheduled to be issued in late April.
More often at odds than in agreement on the project, the council took an opportunity Wednesday to show that all were in strong support of the project.
"The really important thing is that we are all at the table," said Councilwoman Esther Sanchez. "We are going to do this and we are going to do this together."
Councilman Jack Feller joked that approving the project unanimously made him feel all "gushy" inside.
The city has strict guidelines a new resort must comply with, such as the project must meet the city's Local Coastal Plan and all city code requirements. The coastal plan is a set of development guidelines approved by the California Coastal Commission. The resort also must be compatible with the height, size and bulk of developer Jim Watkins' time-share resort project, which will be built on a lot adjacent to the two city-owned vacant parcels.
Watkins' seven-story resort is scheduled to be completed in early 2006. To prevent an appeal of the project by environmentalists, the city agreed to limit the height of a future adjacent resort to seven stories or fewer.
Carolyn Krammer -- the chairwoman of the Citizens for the Preservation of Parks and Beaches, one of the groups that had threatened an appeal of Watkins' resort -- praised the council's decision. Krammer said the site bounded by Pier View Way, Myers Street, Seagaze Drive and Pacific Street, is the premier location left undeveloped on the Southern California coast.
"This is our vision, and not some developer's vision," Krammer said.
Feller and Mayor Terry Johnson said the city couldn't begin a search for a new developer if it had not settled with the site's former developer, Doug Manchester. The city negotiated exclusively with Manchester for nearly five years before the deal fell apart.

Jeffs Build Big Lead, Hang on Against Williams in NESCAC Semifinals
Marcia Voigt '13 had six points, five rebounds and five assists.
AMHERST, MA – The top-seeded Amherst College women's basketball team used a 20-0 run that spanned nearly 10 minutes to earn a 71-64 win over fourth-seeded Williams College Saturday afternoon in the NESCAC Championship semifinal round.
The Lord Jeffs improve to 25-1 (9-0 NESCAC) and will host Bowdoin Sunday at noon in LeFrak Gymnasium for the conference title. The Ephs drop to 21-5 (6-3 NESCAC) and will hope for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Holding a seven-point cushion, Amherst scored the final 13 points of the first half and the first seven points of the second frame, keeping Williams off the board for nine minutes and 57 seconds to seemingly put the game out of reach. The Jeffs—who bumped their home win streak to 44—have won eight straight against the Ephs, with three of those victories coming this season.
Back-to-back three-pointers by Kim Fiorentino '12 (Holmdel, NJ) gave Amherst some early breathing room at 17-7, but Williams stayed in the game with several backdoor cuts and fast-break points. The Ephs cut their deficit to seven on a three by Jen Borderud '13 and again on a jumper from Chessie Jackson '11, but the Lord Jeffs closed the first half on a 17-3 run. A steal and coast-to-coast lay-in by Marcia Voigt '13 (Skillman, NJ) and a Caroline Stedman '12 (Walpole, MA) layup at the buzzer marked the final points, as the Jeffs headed into the locker room with a 47-26 lead and significant momentum.
Fiorentino and Stedman had 10 points apiece at the break, while Jackson led Williams with seven. The Lord Jeffs shot a blistering 64.5 percent from the floor (20-of-31), while the Ephs hit only 36 percent of their shots (9-of-25).
The first four minutes of the second half belonged to the hosts, who turned tenacious defense into quick points to bump their lead to 28 at 54-26. Even a pair of free throw chances for the Ephs couldn't stop the bleeding, as the visitors did not get their first points of the second period until Jill Greenberg '12 hit a tough jumper with 13:42 to play.
Amherst led by at least 20 until Taylor Shea '11 hit a layup with 6:42 remaining to make it a 66-47 game. The Ephs never let up, cutting the Jeffs' advantage to 10 (69-59) thanks to back-to-back lay-ins by Shea and a three-point play from Claire Baecher '13. A three by Borderud and a jumper in the paint by Baecher made it a six-point game (70-64) with less than 20 seconds to go, but the Ephs could not complete the comeback despite closing out the game on an impressive 25-5 run.
Lem Atanga McCormick '12 (Chicago, IL) scored 10 second-half points and a game-high 16 in all, while Sarah Leyman '11 (Cincinnati, OH) had 12, Stedman added 11, and Fiorentino and Jaci Daigneault '11 (Guilford, CT) finished with 10 apiece. Daigneault added 10 rebounds for a double-double, with Leyman pulling down eight boards of her own. Amherst shot only 27.3 percent (9-of-33) in the second half but recorded 15 steals and four blocks in the game.
Jackson finished with 12 points to lead Williams, which shot 53.8 percent in the second period. Greenberg and Baecher chipped in with 10 points apiece, with Baecher also grabbing eight rebounds.
Tickets for Sunday's championship will be $5 for adults and $2 for students and senior citizens. Children under the age of 12 and Amherst College students with a valid ID will be admitted free of charge. Doors to LeFrak Gymnasium will open at 10:30 a.m. A live webcast and live statistics will be available.

"Because of the Honors Program, I've learned to think more abstractly. It has helped me understand people's differing perspectives. The Honors Program has truly enhanced my education here."
"The faculty at Oswego is outstanding. My teachers have given me the desire to do more, to excel. Instead of lecturing to me about what they know, they make me think and stretch the limits of what I know."
"The teachers at SUNY Oswego make the difference, especially in the Honors Program. You get a lot of attention. The professors go out of their way to help you achieve your goals. . . . The Honors Program has helped me prepare for a career by teaching me to think. You have to learn to think at a different level to be successful here. That prepares you for analyzing and solving problems on the job."
"SUNY Oswego offers a diverse atmosphere that makes learning more than an educational experience; it makes it a life experience. . . . The Honors Program has given me a chance to explore a wide range of disciplines and has taught me to be a thinker."
"My Honors Program teachers have helped me think about things I took for granted. They challenged me and made me grow intellectually and as a person."
"The Honors Program has helped me learn how to learn - how to gain knowledge from everything around me. . . . It has taught me that it's OK to question ideas that I encounter in my studies, on TV, in newspapers, in magazines, and in books."
"SUNY Oswego is a great place to explore your many different interests, to think about your future career."
"The advisement in the Honors Program is outstanding. There is always someone to help you find a solution to any problem you have, academic or not. The staff works with students one-on-one."
"The Honors Program faculty have been extremely helpful. Whenever I have a problem, personal or academic, I feel comfortable going to them for help."
"I've learned to look at things from all sides and think about things more. I don't just believe what people tell me. I try to find answers for myself. . . . Being in the Honors Program means a lot to me, because I'm part of a select group, and the faculty cares about us."
"The campus has a very friendly, cooperative atmosphere. . . . Oswego gives you a quality education, with professors dedicated to learning.""The Honors Program stresses cooperation, not competition. This allows me to do my best and work with other students to achieve my goals. I'm receiving a top-rate, well-rounded education at a very low cost."

Hello again Mary I am pleased to be of assistance. Boarding School is often an essential part of Australian rural school life. We have a population of only 23 million and most of the people live in the cities situated (usually) on the coast of each of the states. There are also larger regional cities across most of the states. The rest of the population lives in sparsely settled areas with great distances where no one lives and no schools are available. So many parents living in the more remote parts of our country are forced to send their children to boarding schools which are situated in the big regional cities and the capital cities of each state. These schools often provide very high quality education and excellent living spaces and support for the children - including sporting and other non-school activities. They are often managed by religious organisations like the Catholic Church. Life at boarding school was not very good in my childhood days (many years ago!!!). It was lonely and sometimes frightening and we where often very homesick to the point of not functioning very well academically. However on the positive side, the experience gave me a strong sense of autonomy and self-reliance. I am stronger for the experience. I found I had many life-skills and could look after myself well even at a very young age (10 years old) and this helped a lot in my later life. For example in my nursing profession where I have needed a strength of character to deal with difficult situations sometimes. So all in all - it was a great experience. regards Ann

Comments & conversations
Hi I received all my primary school (the first 5 years of school) using School of the Air. We lived in central Australia (1500 km from the nearest city of Adelaide - in the state of South Australia. This was in the 1960's. My parents managed a huge cattle station (in US you call them ranches I think). We had a governess - usually a young woman who had just left school). Every two weeks we received a package of educational material - texts, instructions etc and the governess would ensure we worked through these. We would write out the answers to the school lessons and then everything would be posted back to the central office of School of the Air (in our case to Port Augusta). All School of the Air students also communicated with their teacher every day by two-way radio and had a one hour "lesson". All this has now radically changed. There are sat-phones, computers, the internet and Skype. People still hire personal governesses (or men equivalent) and there are mobile school teachers who fly around the out-back and visit children in their home school. It is still an essential part of Australian outback life. Most children are sent to boarding school in the cities after 6-7 years of home school using School of the Air (as I was). They usually only see their parents 4-5 times a year thereafter. Here is a link to SOA - Pt. Augusta http://www.openaccess.edu.au/about_us/port_augusta.html I am grateful for this experience as there was no other option in those days. I hope I have been of use to you.
