August 1, 2011 Issue II OSDH Newborn Hearing Screening Program Babies and toddlers love to grab, so attaching the cord to the back of their clothing or blanket so that it is out of their field of vision is help-ful. Most OAE equipment comes with a clip with Velcro that allows you to do that. Every child is dif-ferent and every screening session can be different so it is important to be creative and FLEXIBLE!!. Some items useful to have in your bag of tricks to draw attention away from the probe. * bubbles * mirrors- babies love to look at themselves * puppets * pop-up books video (no sound) toys with lights turning room lights down makes the toys/videos more inter-esting/ the room less distracting HEARING SCREENING IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY!!!!! Performing Conditioned Play Audiometry can be challenging but fun for all!!! Don't Ask!!! Performing hearing screenings on infants and children does de-mand a unique skill, whether it is performing an Otoacoustic Emis-sion Screening (OAE) or Condi-tioned Play Audiometry (CPA). In an attempt to be respectful to children during the screening, many screeners fall into the pat-tern of asking "Can I put this in/on your ear?" or "Can I test your hearing now?" It should come as no surprise when most children will respond with an unequivocal "NO!!!!" To be a successful screener, the words you choose to describe what is going to happen as well as the tone of your voice plays a big part in eliciting cooperation. More successful screenings are accomplished by using lan-guage like , "Let's play a listen-ing game. I'm going to put this in your ear so you can hear the birdie!" This directive approach can be more reassuring to a child than a question. If you feel the child needs to see and touch the probe prior to inser-tion, you may let the child feel the probe tip while comment-ing. "It's very soft -like a little pillow" For very young chil-dren; however, it is sometimes better not to draw attention to the probe by saying anything about it at all. Instead, help maintain focus on something they enjoy touching or watch-ing. The last thing you want to do is divert attention to the sensation of the probe being placed in their ear. Redirect a child's attention away from the ear by stroking the child's fore-head or arm or by letting them play with an interesting toy. with the block in it and assist-ing them to drop it Present stimulus at an intensity that you feel he/she can hear it so they know what to listen for Train with 1000Hz tone as it is the easiest tone to hear Use "pulsed" or "warble tone" to make the stimulus more UNIQUE! Then test 2kHz, 4kHz and then 1kHz – in case child fatigues Change tasks frequently!!! i.e. dropping blocks, clapping etc. Our physiologic hearing screen-ing tools are great (AABR and OAE) but a very useful tool is also CPA. REMEMBER: Our physiologic tools do not tell us everything about a child's hearing sensitivity. Once a child reaches a developmental age that you feel he/she is ready for CPA, pull out your audiometer, but be ready for a challenge. It is im-portant to consider a child's motor needs and select toys that are easy enough for the child to manipulate so he/she can do the "listen and drop" task without frustration. THE SIMPLER THE BETTER!!! Blocks are great Peg boards-choose ones with large pegs for easy manipula-tion Don't use complicated toys Positioning the child is critical Face the child, making sure not to provide too many visual cues while screening Train the child first to task before placing earphones on Assist on the "listen and drop" task by gently taking their hand UPCOMING EVENTS Dr. Wayne Berryhill Cochlear Implant Support Group Tulsa University September 22, 2011 Listen from Ear to Ear Tips of the Month Cleaning Tips for OAE/Tymps Cleaning Probes: Thin dental floss works great! Feed it through the probe openings and then dispose of it for infection control. Cleaning Tips: Small ultrasonic cleaner (like a jewelry cleaner). Utilize sanitizing solution spe-cifically for this purpose. The solution lasts a week in the cleaner. Clean the tips once a day, running it for three minutes, rinse and let dry. Change the solution once a week for proper infection control in your clinic. REMEMBER: Submit any questions/topics you would like discussed to email@example.com

Jerrie Williams is a blogger on the Beauregard Daily News website. The name of her blog is C.O.P.E. Community Organized Parents in Education. This blog is syndicated statewide to all GateHouse websites. She will not only be blogging about local education concerns, but information about resources for parental research on different subjects concerning children and their well being. Jerrie Williams is the mother of three autistic children. Her journey began in 1999, when she discovered that her children were not developing according to the national mind stone charts. This was after they had received immunizations and developed reactions to them. She later learned the immunizations contained an agent that her children were allergic to, which led to their developmental delays. She moved her children to Georgia to be treated by a specialist in autism and brain injury in 2000. Since then she has been searching and discovering several research-based interventions and resources to educate, support and assist in the recovery of autism. She moved to Louisiana in August, 2011, and has been involved in educating the community about autism and the resources available to parents of autistic children as well as adults with autism. She has been instrumental in helping the Beauregard Parish school system to design an individualized curriculum that was suited for the educational needs of her children as well as other special needs children. Her children have since blossomed with this curriculum and continue to thrive. She will continue in her journey as a mother and an advocate for others.

THT Mailbag: HOF Debates Continue
by Bryan TsaoJanuary 16, 2007
Only one month until pitchers and catchers report! Which means, of course, that the full set of ZiPS projections, done by the esteemed Dan Szymborski over at Baseball Think Factory, are out, along with Sean Smith/Replacement Level Yankees Weblog's first set of projections for the season.
The ZiPS projections are some of the best around at predicting player performance, while over at RLYW they use Sean's projections and the Diamond Mind Baseball game to simulate the upcoming season 100 times and records the results. While the methodology does have flaws, particularly in underrating injuries, last year, the method correctly called five of the six division champions.
So who does he like this season? Not surprisingly, the Yankees and the Cardinals seem to be the class of their leagues in the early running, something you probably didn't need a whole bunch of numbers to tell you. Still this is a great early read on whether your team is roughly where it needs to be, or still needs some work before Spring Training.
Now, onto the questions.
Win Shares
I've been trying to track down what a "good" Win Share total would be? I've figured out the easy part the high end and the low end of this but I'm trying to figure out is there a cut-off line in the middle? Is 20 Win Shares a MVP season or just a great one? Please help this minor issue is driving me crazy!
- Chris J.
Dave Studeman: Thirty Win Shares can be considered an MVP-type year, at least for everyday players. For starting pitchers, 20 Win Shares is probably a good level for a Cy Young-type of year.
In general, an average major league player who plays 150 games or more will average 16 to 18 Win Shares. A starting pitcher who starts 25 to 30 games will average 8 to 10 Win Shares.
I discussed some Win Share benchmarks in this article.
John Beamer: As you probably know, we publish extensive Win Shares stats at THT. I had a quick look here for 2006 Win Shares.
You have to scroll down to about the 75th player before you land on 20 Win Shares. Twenty Win Shares players last year included Adam Dunn and Richie Sexson. Would you say they had MVP seasons? No, certainly not—there are usually less than 10 MVP candidates. Did they have great seasons? I think it is debatable. Look at the list and make a call. Sure, they had good years, maybe even very good years but I don't think you can call them great years.
Raines Has Nothing to Worry About
Its all been hall of fame all the time … so OK next year, Tim Raines, what's your take? Here's mine: I'm 42 years old and have lived overseas since 1989. Watched a lot of ball from mid-70s to that time, and Raines was simply the second best leadoff guy in the league. I'm pretty sure you can extend that to the last 40-50 years. I know he did blow and all that, but this cat could play and like Goose Gossage you knew you were watching an all-time brilliant player. His counting stats are solid, his rates stats hold up when in comparison, how about a for and against argument for induction(if anyone there is silly enough to argue against).
- Keith F.
Sal Baxamusa: I'll take the "for" argument, Keith. In my mind, Tim Raines is a no-doubt Hall of Famer. He played for 23 productive seasons, failing to crack a 100 OPS+ in only his age 31, 39, and 42 seasons. He finished his career with a 123 OPS+, including an excellent .385 career OBP. In the '80s and '90s, he got on base at a rate 17% above league average—in 20 years of playing—trailing only Wade Boggs, Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, and Tony Gwynn, and leading Fred McGriff, Roberto Alomar and Alan Trammell (among hitters with greater than 8000 plate appearances).
He stole over 800 bases with a success rate of 84%. Between 1983 and 1989, only once was he not among the NL top five in OBP. During that time, he bes only Wade Boggs, Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, and Tony Gwynn, and leading Fred McGriff, Roberto Alomar and Alan Trammell (among hitters with greated Eddie Murray, Rickey Henderson, Robin Yount, Tony Gwynn, and Cal Ripken in OPS+, according to Lee Sinin's Sabermetric Encyclopedia. And that case only took me 10 minutes of sloppy research.
So the question is not, should he get in, it's will he. Joe Sheehan at Baseball Prospectus thinks that Tim Raines will become the next Bert Blyleven, a slam-dunk Hall-of-Famer who has trouble gathering the necessary votes.
In particular, he's worried about how Raines' admitted cocaine scandal will affect how the voters feel about him. My guess is that voters will have their brains so wrapped up in revisionist history of the steroid-era that they won't even consider the coke use (because it's OK for a player to use illicit drugs that will hurt his performance on the field, but not okay to use drugs that will help). The steroid-backlash/witch hunt may actually lead to voters appreciating his
low-power game (nevermind that he slugged above league average over his career or that speed players have tested positive for performance enhancing drugs). Lots of fawning articles will be written about the death of speed game in baseball and Tim Raines will be the patron saint when he appears on the ballot.
I don't think that Raines will get in on the first ballot, but neither do I think that his will be an uphill battle like the one Blyleven is going through right now. Watch for Raines to spend a few years on the ballot before he finally breaks through and enters the Hall.
McGwire: A Tale of Two Careers?
Thought John Brattain's piece was very interesting, and I tend to agree. What I find interesting though is that while of course no one could really prove that anyone wouldn't have Hall of Fame-type numbers without the steroids, in Mark McGwire's case you can come damn close.
McGwire had two careers. Take a look at his RC/27 prior to his two injury shortened years (leaving off 86); 8.34, 5.82, 5.11, 5.99, 4.06, 7.83.
Not bad, but how about Fred McGriff, same years: 6.66, 7.4, 7.27, 7.87, 6.97, 7.84. Significantly better.
Frank Thomas, 1990 - 95: 9.07, 9.33, 8.72, 9.72, 13.64, 10.02 (and three more 10-plus years after that). Not even in the same ballpark.
How about Kent Hrbek? 87 - 92, 7.63, 7.55, 6.65, 6.18, 6.08, 4.94.
You get the idea.
He was a good first basemen, best in the league his rookie year, not even close some other years.
OK, so now he two very short injury ridden years, and you figure his career is over. What happens? He comes back with 10.32, 12.53, 9, 13.10, 10.58, and 13.11 before he falls of the face of the planet. Two completely different careers, the second after two years of injuries. Why all of a sudden did he become the second coming? Hmm, lets see, what could it be?
You would be hard pressed to invent data like this to illustrate the effect of steroids. It could of course be a fluke of some kind, but what do you figure the odds are of that? I think you could make a real case that without the steroids he might not even have had 1000 at-bats after the '94 season.
- Jeff M.
David Gassko: You are right that through 28, McGwire, McGriff, and Hrbek were all very similar players in terms of total value (Thomas laps the field, but he is one of the greatest hitters in baseball history in my opinion, anyway). But you can't just ignore what happens after, and overall, McGwire had a far superior career to those two.
Did McGwire use steroids? Almost certainly, but that doesn't somehow invalidate his accomplishments. ESPN did a very cool article last year showing that 20-25% of Barry Bonds' home runs since 1998 probably would not have gone over the fence had he not been using steroids. If we apply the same standard to McGwire's numbers since 1995, he would still have over 500 home runs, an impressive accomplishment that would still make him a lock for the Hall of Fame. Nate Silver found that steroids had a minimal effect on a player's statistics in a very interesting study in Baseball Between the Numbers, so perhaps even that adjustment is too great.
Moreover, why should McGwire be made into a pariah for a tainted era? Do you seriously think he was the only one to use steroids, or one of a few? Of course not. Steroids were omnipresent in baseball in the '90s, just as "greenies" have been for decades. Major league testing in 2003 found that at least 5% of major league players were using steroids, or at least one on every team. McGwire was not the only one—one of your favorite players almost certainly was using too. That number is also much lower than what has been named by most players, with estimates ranging from 25% to everyone. In other words, McGwire wasn't really gaining an edge through illegal means—he was hitting against steroid-using pitchers and driving in steroid-using hitters. Why punish just him for what was clearly an institutional problem?
The bottom line is this: McGwire was a great player, steroids or not. Steroids are generally associated with a physical breakdown, so it is doubtful that they helped him play more than he otherwise would have. It is unreasonable to say that McGwire's statistics would not have been Hall of Fame worthy without steroids. Therefore, you can only keep McGwire out of the Hall of Fame if you want to make him a scapegoat for the steroids era; but is it really fair to penalize one player for the sins of hundreds?
Cheating the Old-Fashioned Way
There is no doubt that performance-enhancing substances, combined with a training regimen tailored to maximize their impact, can significantly alter an athlete's physical abilities. Less clear is how chemically-enhanced physical abilities translate into performance on a baseball diamond. The players that resort to such means, though, surely believe they are gaining a significant advantage.
My question for you is this: Given the tremendous backlash spurred by the "revelation" of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, and the severe penalties for offenders enacted in the new CBA, wouldn't players seeking an edge be much better off by simply resorting to the time-honored traditions of cheating in baseball, such as corked bats and doctored baseballs? Aren't these "performance-enhancers" far less risky for a player, both in terms of long-term health and severity of punishment for getting caught? If an Emory board was good enough for Joe Niekro, why isn't it good enough for Jason Grimsley?
- Daniel H.
Steve Treder: No doubt it is the case, Daniel, that "time-honored" gambits such as ball-doctoring and bat-corking carry less risk than performance enhancing drugs; a player caught red-handed at this sort of cheating is subject to some sanction and humiliation, but not on the scale of that associated with drugs.
So my question is: Why should we assume that players haven't continued to deploy such trickery all along, whether or not they've been seeking better performance through chemistry?
Professional baseball isn't a game, it's a business. It is and always has been engaged in by hard men. The rewards for success are immense, and the costs of failure are cruel. As in any tough business, it's realistic to presume that at least some competitors are always angling for whatever tiny edge can be gained.
The Free Agent Cycle Redux
I wanted to respond to Mark Saleman's complaints about the rising costs of seeing a baseball game. While Mr. Saleman is certainly correct in that it has become much more expensive to go to a ball game (indeed, the costs of tickets, food and merchandise have far outpaced inflation over the past 25 years), I think his conclusion of teams being forced to renegotiate salaries or fold is an emotional response to his frustration rather than sound economics.
First of all, the very reason teams are renovating their stadiums (like Shea and Yankee Stadium) is that older stadiums are generally not a great source of revenue even for teams who own them outright. By renovating the stadiums teams are able to utilize modern technology and reduce annual maintenance costs as well as increase the number of luxury boxes which are really the only source of true profits. Furthermore, the number of luxury boxes in the new stadiums, as well as the price of tickets are based upon economic models—supply and demand and price elasticity models. Ownership doesn't pull an number or dollar amount out of their ass—they spend a lot of time researching what ratios and prices will maximize profits. This means that they factor in the probability of an economic downturn and, even in a worse case scenario, the new ballpark will at least cover its own expenses.
Secondly, Mr. Saleman assumes too strong a relationship between ballpark revenue and player salaries. In fact, a team's greatest source of revenue is not the ballpark, even with the new ballparks maximizing revenue. It's a team's television contract. The Mets are able to afford their recent jump in salaries because they started their own cable network. The reason all of MLB is spending more is not because of the attendance record set this year, but because of the giant increases in advertising revenue across the board. In this day and age of Tivo, advertisers are allocating more and more money to sporting events—events people are far more likely to watch live and not fast-forward through the commercials.
Finally, because of free agency, player salaries are pretty much negotiated year to year. Mr. Saleman writes, "Most of the owners are very wealthy and could probably ride [out an economic downturn] for a year or two." Most players have a contract less than than three years, therefore there is flexibility within the system to redetermine the market value of free agents—something we do in fact see happen. This offseason, like every other offseason, is a reflection of the current economic state of the game.
My advice to Mr. Saleman is adapt to the new environment. Going to the ballpark with your parents or your children is no longer a weekly event. It's a special (and costly) occasion. Fortunately, watching the ballgame at home with a beverage costing one-fifth of the price than at the ballpark can be extremely enjoyable. I even feel, because of the strides in technology (camera angles, replay, etc), it's better in some ways (though certainly not in all ways).

The entire town of Johnsville was threatened with destruction when fire broke out at the Canyon Inn. With water pressure extremely low due to the restoration of the town water system, the fire had to be fought with wet sacks and dirt.
The dam spillway project to raise the level of Lake Almanor involves moving 80,000 cubic yards of earth and 275,000 tons of rock fill. Lake Almanor holds 650,000 acre feet of water and will hold 1,035,000 acre feet of water upon completion of the entire dam project.
Enrollment of some Plumas County schools increased on opening day this year. Kindergarten classes raised from 265 last year to 284 this year. Elementary school classes raised from 1964 last year to 1889 this year. High school classes, however, showed a decline from 1593 students last year to 1450 students this year.
The USDA will present Almanor Residential, Inc, $7.2 million for the Wildwood Senior Center expansion project in Chester.
With 53,000 square feet and a $12 million price tag, the new Plumas County courthouse annex building located near the Feather River College campus in Quincy, will be the biggest public works project in Plumas County history. The foundation of the new two-story building is expected to be poured this fall upon opening bids next week.

I love movies. I spent half of my teenage years working in video stores and watching film after film after film. I also love games. So I thought it would be fun to combine the two. Here's how this will work: I post a recognizable still from a movie that most people will know - except the still has been altered with some filters. The first person to identify the movie correctly gets to post the next image. Sound fun?
Edit: Here's Randy Slavey's ongoing history of the game, with all of the images used to date.
We'll start with an easy one:
All too easy, but I'll let someone else do the guessing!
Maybe it is a little late at night, and there are a lot of John Hughes movies coming to my mind right now, but maybe Nathan should take this one!!! Don't laugh but the only thing that is coming to my mind for me right now is Pretty in Pink or something with the brat pack in it . :)
Close! No, not really. ; ) I bet you know it and will slap your head when you figure it out.
Nathan, do you want to answer and come up with another puzzle?
Yep, you are right, I did slap my head!
That looks like The Usual Suspects to me for some reason? I think its the red shirt.
Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. Way to go, Greg.
Want to post the next one?
Love to! Just need to figure out how to get you guys a distorted movie image to guess!
I re-uploaded the photo to your post because the file name kinda gave it away. ; )
Duh! Rookie mistake! Thanks Dave!
It looks like Nick Frost to me, but with too much hair to be Shaun of the Dead
I am going to say...
"Say hello to my little friend"

My U.S. General Class call sign is N0FOL - November Zero Foxtrot Oscar Lima.
We spent four years as Nazarene missionaries in Haiti. Telephones are scarce there, so amateur radio became an important communications tool. Within the country we used mainly 2-meters while 20 meters was used to communicate back to the U.S. In Haiti, my call sign was HH2HC.
My wife Barbara also holds a General Class amateur radio license. She is KC4CHB.
FULL POWER: Around the world on a hundred watts
I've learned enough radio theory to get my General license. Right now I'm working on upgrading to Advanced.
I'm still amazed to think that putting a hundred watts of power into a little wire lets me talk to several different people all over the globe at the same time. It seems incredible that I could do that with a hundred watts. That much power in a light bulb only lights one room in my house.
It's possible, of course, because human beings finally figured out that's how God had designed this one little part of our universe. Every time I turn on the equipment in my shack, it's enough to make me sing, "0 Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all . . . Thy hands have made ... Then sings my soul.,. . . How great Thou art."
- Howard Culbertson, HH2HC . . . [ continue reading ]
Amateur Radio Christian Fellowship day is an annual September event to allow Amateurs to showcase the hobby to churches and to contact missionaries.
Amateurs are encouraged to take a radio to church and demonstrate Amateur Radio to the congregation by making contacts with other churches and missions groups worldwide.
Please announce this event to Amateur Radio clubs and operators in your area as well as to the local media. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please contact KB9IBW. Let's work together to bless our churches, missions groups, and give exposure to this great hobby to those who may become future Amateur Operators.

Posh Ways to Blow Your Year-End Bonus
Filed under: Celebrity Shopping
Do you have a year end bonus burning a hole on your pocket? Well then you better get to spending it (you know, for your own safety...) and of course there are more than enough people willing to give you ideas and take your money. Want a new car? An exotic vacation? An expensive work of art? Year end bonuses for some (namely bankers and Wall Street execs) this year are calculated to be somewhere in the $49 billion range altogether, so recession or not there's sure to be some serious spending going on.
Unfortunately I'm not part of that $49 billion demographic, but some of these spending ideas sure look awesome, especially the private jet charter. Hmmm, where wouldn't I like to go?

Dutch business climate focus during Weekers' visit to Montreal
Monday 11 June, State Secretary Weekers will visit Montreal, Canada. During this visit Mr Weekers will bring the Dutch business climate to the attention. He will for example do so during a speech at a company conference organised by the NFIA (Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency). Apart from that, Mr Weekers will pay a few working visits to companies in Montreal.
The Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency is an implementing body of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation. The NFIA helps and advises foreign companies in setting up, rolling out and/or expanding their international activities in the Netherlands. The NFIA was founded more than 30 years ago and has since then assisted approximately 2,800 companies from almost 50 countries in their international activities in the Netherlands.

First and foremost, thanks to the guys at PES for sponsoring this log and sending me a bottle of ABE, EP, and Alphamine. I love PES products and to get a chance like this is more then amazing. So again, huge thanks to PES.
As the title says.. I will be doing a lean bulk. I have a months supply of each product, but want to do an 8 week run to get the most out of it. So I will be purchasing a bottle of each later on once I'm running low.
Currently I am running OG AnaBeta... which is amazing. But I'm going to stop that and start tomorrow with ABE, EP and Alphamine. I wont be dosing any OG AnaBeta because I feel 4 caps of ABE will be plenty.
Other supps:
Beta Alanine
Fish Oil
Vitamin C
Green Tea Extract
Citrulline Malate
REM PM (logging as well)
EP- 1 a.m.
ABE- 2 pre, 2 post
Alphamime- start one scoop in a.m... one scoop 4-6 hours later. Will move up to 2 scoops a.m. after a week or so.
Calories per day are at about ~4500 @ split of 40/40/20.
As I log, I will post diet somedays. I will log my workouts everyday though. As the log goes on, you will see my splits on my workouts.
Just a quick question also... would running SS Shift be beneficial on a lean bulk with this stack or not? I have a bottle but not sure if running on a lean bulk would be beneficial at all.
Looking forward to this log and seeing what gains I can make and see how lean I can stay on this stack while bulking up a bit.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wind Country Notes
United Kingdom
The Utilities Act (2000) made substantial changes to the regulatory system for electricity in Great Britain. The Act replaced the Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation Orders (NFFO), by the Renewables Obligation and the Renewables Obligation (Scotland), which came into force in April 2002. These impose an obligation on all electricity suppliers to supply a specific proportion of electricity from renewable sources. The target began at 3% in 2003, will rise gradually to 10% by 2010, to 15% by 2015 with the eventual aim of a 20% contribution. In the short term it is likely that wind energy will be the major contributor to meeting these targets, but in the longer term other technologies will come into play.
The Energy Act of 2004 has provided the impetus for the development of wind energy in the UK. It established a comprehensive legal framework for all offshore energy projects, extended the boundary for projects to 200 miles beyond the country's territorial waters, created a Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) adjacent to the territorial waters in which projects could be installed and provided a framework for the execution of the British Electricity Trading and Transmission Arrangements (BETTA). BETTA came into effect on 1 April 2005 and provides sets of rules both for trading electricity across Britain and for access to and charging for the transmission network.
Thus in recent years great progress has been made in the growth of the UK's wind energy sector. From just 427.2 MW - 423.4 MW onshore, 3.8 MW offshore - at end-2001, the 1 GW mark was passed in June 2005 with end-year capacity standing at 1 565 MW - 1 351.2 MW onshore, 213.8 offshore. The four operational offshore wind farms in 2005 consist of three in England; off the north east coast at Blyth (3.8 MW), off the east coast (East Anglia) at Scroby Sands (60MW), off the south east coast at Kentish Flats (90 MW) and one off the north coast of Wales at North Hoyle (60 MW). A 90 MW offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea off the north west coast of England at Barrow was officially opened in September 2006.
The UK Department of Trade and Industry reported that as at July 2006, plans for a further 6 200 MW of onshore wind capacity and 3 900 MW of offshore capacity had been published, although it was unlikely that all projects would obtain the necessary permissions to proceed. In early 2007 the British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) listed four offshore projects as under construction, totalling 294 MW and a further ten, totalling 2 484 MW, as having received approval.
The commissioning of the 72 MW Braes of Doune wind farm in Scotland in February 2007 saw total UK installed capacity pass the 2 GW mark.
Along with Germany and the Netherlands, the UK is part of the European Offshore Supergrid® project. Initially the 10 GW Foundation Project is designed to test the feasibility of interconnecting 2 000 wind turbines and supplying electricity to the national grids of all three countries. Ultimately, it is proposed that the system could cover the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the English Channel, the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean.
The White Paper Meeting the Energy Challenge (May 2007) announced the Government's intention to strengthen the Renewables Obligation (RO), increasing the RO to 'up to 20% as and when increasing amounts of renewables are deployed' and introducing banding of the RO in order to provide differentiated support to the various renewable technologies. In this latter connection, particular mention was made of the need to bring forward offshore wind and biomass.

If the deal is anything less than one free box per 2 purchased I'll be pretty disappointed. How about putting up a pre-order for the new stuff, so that we can get the discount now and have it ship when it's available? How long does the Birthday sale last anyway?
The birthday offers last until November 17th.

In these days of high-tech gadgets, smartphones, and smartwatches, it seems like wall clocks are quickly becoming relics of the past - but not for Heath Ceramics. The famed artisan pottery company is kicking off its Design in Time exhibition that's all about these classic timepieces.
Although Anastasia Faiella is now the interior designer behind the SF studio Faiella Design, she had an impressive background in the arts before finding her professional passion. Anastasia was a serious contemporary and ballet dancer until her sophomore year in college, and then worked towards her fine arts masters in painting. With such an artistic background it's not hard to see where Anastasia gets her eye for composition, color, and wonderful flowing lines. We appreciate how the spaces she creates are dramatic and interesting without resorting to obnoxious, over-the-top furnishings or colors, and appreciate her skill at creating rich, layered rooms that look insanely cozy.

Recent reports show crime is increasing in Kern County. Some local musicians say they are a big target of theft in the area. They say people are stealing instruments from concert venues, cars and even their homes.
Local musician, Steve James, has played the harmonica since he was a kid.
"My dad put a harp in my hand and I've been messing with them ever since," said James.
That was put on hold with the recent theft of his instruments.
Playing the harmonica isn't only a hobby for James, it also provides an income. James said, "If I don't have them I can't play and I need the money."
He said he's just one of many local musicians who've been a target of theft in the last year.
In many cases, including this one, stolen items are taken to pawn shops.
A.M. Griffin and Sons General Manager, Christian Espejo said there are some ways to ensure your items are identifiable if they are stolen.
Espejo said, "What we recommend for the public is to keep a item list, serial numbers of stuff that they own, so if they do get it stolen they have proof of what, you know, of what they had."
If an item doesn't have a serial number, or a way to identify it, Espejo says it's up to the individual to contact law enforcement.
"They need to go town to the pd or sheriff's department, file a police report you know, hey our items are here at this pawn shop and they are stolen," said Espejo.
James said pawn shops should have more accountability for the property they sell. "I would just like to see more involvement with the stuff going on because it needs to slow down," said James.
Espejo said there is only so much they can do. "We follow the laws, we follow the procedures, the way the state, the Justice Department and the local authorities, you know, because of us, they recovered their items, you know so we actually did our jobs for them to get their items so they should be grateful for that," said Espejo.
Espejo said they ask the person who is claiming the stolen property to reimburse them for the price they paid for it. James paid $50 to get his harmonicas back. Other local artists helped raise money to help James with the cost.

By Ronald D. Orol, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- For the first time since the financial crisis, the amount of money raised in public debt and equity offerings is rising, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Elisse Walter said Friday.
Speaking at the annual "SEC Speaks" conference, Walter said that according to data compiled by the agency's division of risk, strategy and financial innovation, the amount of money raised in public debt and equity offerings rose 22% in 2012.
"Obviously if more capital raising is going on that is a sign of increasing investor confidence. It is a good trend line in terms of what investors are feeling," Walter told reporters after her speech.
According to data compiled by the division of risk, strategy and financial innovation, there was $2.4 trillion in debt and equity offerings in 2012, up from 2011 when debt and equity offerings raised totaled $2 trillion.
She said it was too early to see whether the Jumpstart Our Business Startups, or JOBS Act, had an impact on the recent hike in capital formation.
The JOBS Act was signed into law by President Barack Obama in April 2012 after a bipartisan vote to encourage initial public offerings and spur job creation by encouraging private companies to raise capital and go public.
• Five takeaways from the jobs report
Why Fed may still hesitate to pull the taper trigger
The Federal Reserve is likely to hold off a taper in December, using the meeting to prepare the markets for a move early next year.
• U.S. gains 203,000 jobs in November
• Third-quarter growth fastest since early 2012
• Corporate profits at new record as share of GDP
Congress approved the law, partly, in response to a major cut in initial public offerings following the financial crisis of 2008.
"If you want to try to determine the effect of the JOBS act you are going to have to wait a while longer," she said.
The agency did not immediately provide a breakdown between IPOs and secondary public offerings.
Scott Bauguess, assistant director for corporate finance in the risk and financial innovation unit, told reporters that equity is a much smaller part of public issuances. He added that initial public offerings typically only represent 5% to 6% of total public capital raised in any particular year, with secondary offerings representing a much larger chunk of public offerings.
Bauguess added that debt offerings are typically about 75% of private offerings and issuances.
"It's important that we embrace a regulatory agenda that is consistent with continued growth in public offerings," Walter said.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I would highly recommend this as a Save the Date for a couple who is looking for a stylish, classic look! The quality of the paper, the printing and the design are all simply outstanding. The design services were great and delivery was prompt. I added a little blingy to make it a little pretty. I am very happy!"
"Loved this unique destination wedding save the date card! It's customizable, so you can enter your wedding location and the map will change to match. Great alternative for a save the date if you don't have your engagement photos done yet (which would be us) or if you'd rather not upgrade to photo cards. Lots of cool options for fonts too - I thought ours ended up looking very trendy. The color quality is great too, almost a vintage look. We received a lot of compliments on them!"
"We are very happy with our Sleek Chic Save the Dates. The best part is that we were able to customize the order to perfectly fit our vision. At no additional charge, WPD reformatted the postcards into flat cards (we did add personalized envelopes for an additional charge). Because we were using a black and white photo, we wanted more color on the card. WPD suggested using two shades of green for the design on the side as well as green font. We were also able to add our last names. I could not be more pleased with the customer service we received! We ended up asking for what felt like a lot of customization and WPD delivered 100%."
"I was more than pleased with the service from the designers. They were very professional and helpful in determining the right custom card colors to go with my wedding colors. The card itself is simple yet elegant, and we were very happy!"
"The design process was simple and quick. I received my proofs back in a day or so and my order was delivered 4 days ahead of schedule! (always a plus in my book). I am working on sending out my save the dates this week. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas, you made my experience simple and enjoyable."

Fluency is… http://www.readingrockets.org/helping/target/fluency/
Have you thought of some great ideas for teaching fluency? These teachers have… Check out the posting on Mrs. Osterman's site.
I have been encouraging teachers to color code their charts:
Line 1 (blue) letter id
Line 2 (red) letter sound
Line 3 (green) read word quickly, possibly sight words
Line 4 (skill) for example cvc words or onset and rime
Line 5 (green) read word quickly (the words) from line 4 so the children can read the words quickly
In this example, based on the students' needs, this chart was built so the children could practice p, q, b, d confusion by saying them quicking (letter id); then blends, then reading sight words. Each chart is built to help a child or a group of children learn or catch up on some skills.

Broken Hopes: Sam meets his daughter.
"When you break a promise…even that trust is broken."
Sam broke her heart, he dumped her for her cousin. Leah is completely broken…Sam leaves her in her most vulnerable state! She would have preferred death but something living inside her kept her alive.
It was raining down hard, defining the pain I had in my chest. I didn't have anywhere to go. I hated him for doing this to my mother and me, his words had crushed me. I wish, I wish things were different. I sat down leaning against the rock and hugging my self. I realized I was shivering, but the cold rain and my drenched body wasn't helping.
I started sobbing, wishing I had someone to love…someone to care for me.
"Mom, I want you…" I said through my sobs.
Note: All the known characters belong to Stephanie Meyer! And very few ones are mine.

Well we all know who she is. Not really. Leah Clearwater.

Find the Best Hairbrush
Does hairbrush terminology sound like another language? Let these experts help you understand brush vocabulary like Mason Pearson, Denman, boar bristle, paddle, vented, and more so you can select the best tool to ensure good hair days.
By Amber Katz
Brush With Greatness
With the overwhelmingly vast array of hairbrushes available today, finding the shape, size, and bristles that are right for you can leave you pulling your hair out. Whether you have waist-length waves or a perfectly sleek pixie cut, there's a hairbrush that can make styling your strands much easier. These tips come straight from the industry's best stylists — they'll equip you with all the knowledge you need to accomplish your mane mission.
Oval Brush
This tool employs a combination of nylon and boar bristles for styling during a blow-dry or to generally detangle and smooth strands. The mixture of bristles and shape of the brush also make it a great scalp stimulator. Keep this brush style in your arsenal for smoothing and shine and to distribute product, says celebrity stylist Ted Gibson, who's worked with Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway.
Also, this is the only brush you need to style bangs, whether you have side-swept or blunt fringe, says Eva Scrivo, owner of Eva Scrivo Salon and the author of Eva Scrivo on Beauty. "This brush produces a shiny finish that hugs the head," she says, "and is the solution to the 'mall bang.'"
Try Mason Pearson's iconic "Popular Mixture" nylon and boar bristle model ($170).
Ceramic Round Brush
"Ceramic round brushes are designed to add smoothness while creating shape during your styling," says James Williams, head stylist at the Canale Salon in Beverly Hills, Calif. — he's worked on the famed manes of Amanda Bynes and Kyra Sedgwick. Use this brush style to create lift for thick to normal hair textures.
Celebrity stylist Sarah Potempa recommends selecting a brush with boar bristles and a ceramic coating on the inside of the core, where the bristles are attached. "Because the ceramic heats up on the inside, if you allow the hair to 'set' while rolled in the brush, you'll get more volume," she explains.
Try Conair's Tourmaline Ceramic Medium Round Porcupine Brush ($9.99).
Round Wood Brush
"This brush can handle any hair texture, length, or density," says David Babaii, who has worked on Liv Tyler's and Kate Hudson's hair. Babaii explains that this style brush is the key to a shiny, sleek blow-dry, if you keep the brush moving and concentrate the heat on the ends.
It's a perfect "finishing" brush — that is, your hair should be 80 percent dry before you use it, says Matt Fugate, a stylist at Sally Hershberger Salon in New York City.
Try Frederic Fekkai's Large Round Brush ($65).
Vented Brush
These inexpensive plastic brushes are used to speed drying on any length hair. Since these have openings or vents to allow air to flow through, you can dry much faster. And this is an essential brush for anyone with limp, flat hair. "This is the ideal tool to move roots around and create volume while rough-drying — excellent prep for using your wooden round brush," Fugate says. A smaller brush, he says, will make it easier to create lift and smoothness.
Try Spornette's Anti-Static Metro Tunnel Brush ($10).
Square Paddle Brush
Ideal for daily detangling and to distribute oils along the hair shaft, these brushes are typically made of wood or plastic, with a cushioned rubber pad and synthetic bristles.
Paddle brushes, which are good for all hair types, are strong enough to tame thick, curly locks and gentle enough for fine hair. Be advised, however: "This brush is not used for finishing," Fugate says. "It's for prepping hair only."
Scrivo recommends using this brush to comb through thick hair when wet, a job that can be challenging with a comb.
Try Sarah Potempa's "Power" Paddle Brush ($25).
Teasing Brush
This skinny, specialized tool provides a huge payoff, especially when you're styling your hair for a special occasion. The tight bristles push hair toward the roots, enabling you to create lasting volume. It works for any hair type, says Potempa. "With fine hair, work on larger sections, and with thick hair, take small sections. Brush only in a down, rather than an up and down, direction to prevent breakage."
To add more volume to your roots after styling, gently backcomb the underside of your hair. "After you've created the effect you're looking for, use the bristles to smooth out the top to hide the evidence of your backcombing," Williams says.
Try Brush Strokes' Wood Tease Mixed Boar/Porcupine Bristles Teasing Brush ($4.99).
Hourglass Round Brush
This shapely brush creates a smooth shine and is best for curly and wavy strands. These brushes are especially effective for finer hair, as it smooths the cuticle without adding tension, which can leave hair limp. The longer your hair, the larger the brush should be.
"Round brushes like these, with dual bristles, are best to create volume, to detangle, and to use in heat styling," Gibson says. To smooth frizzy waves, Potempa recommends placing the brush on top of the section of hair you're drying, and aiming your blow-dryer down as you brush.
Try the Marilyn Tuxedo Pro Brush ($23).
Oval Paddle Brush
This brush typically has a cushioned rubber pad and plastic bristles. Fugate recommends this style for detangling finer hair and for hair that has been colored — especially for blonds. "It allows you to brush hair without having it snagged so easily," he says. It can be used for detangling hair while wet, brushing hair while rough-drying, and smoothing hair before wrapping it around a straightening iron.
Try Goody's Finish Gel Cushion Brush ($6.99).
Rectangular Styling Brush
This bristled mane manager features smooth-ended nylon bristles set into an anti-static rubber pad. "This brush is best for the lost art of sculpting," says Fugate. The Denman version had its heyday in the fifties; it was often used by Vidal Sassoon because it works so well with a bob cut. "The brush mimics the head shape and creates amazing shine to the hair without much effort," Fugate explains.
Try Denman's Classic Styling Brush ($10.99).
