FORT WORTH -- The sheep look wary of visitors at Mary Kelleher's little 12-acre farm off of Randol Mill Road in east Fort Worth.
Kelleher and her neighbors are suspicious these days, too. A natural gas well sits to one side of her spread, a metering station to the other. Across the way: a gas company's access road that Kelleher says has worsened floods on her property when it rains.Down the road, homeowners have successfully fought off two attempts by the owner of 42 acres that wants it rezoned agricultural, which would allow a gas compressor station. Kelleher, who has a gas lease, organized nearly 60 of her neighbors three weeks ago to speak at a City Council meeting -- or voice their concerns on cards -- about the potential for more gas facilities on agriculturally zoned property in the bucolic area east of Loop 820 and north of Interstate 30.The city appears to be moving in their direction. The staff, at the request of Councilman Danny Scarth and Mayor Betsy Price, is writing a proposed change to the gas drilling and zoning ordinances."We haven't decided yet, but we'll probably make it a 'special exception,'" meaning gas companies would be required to get permission from the city's Zoning Board of Adjustment to build a compressor station in agricultural zoning, said Randle Harwood, the city's planning and development director.If permission is denied there, a gas company's only recourse would be through the courts.Such an ordinance change would effectively push compressor stations out of agriculturally zoned areas near neighborhoods, Harwood said. Such pockets exist in east Fort Worth and the far west side.The zoning board, if presented a case for a special exception, "would review it in the context of how is it impacting the other uses" close by."Not a lot of people want to go to the Zoning Board of Adjustment," Harwood said. "The first instinct of the gas companies is going to be to look for someplace where it is allowed."An ordinance change would go through the Zoning Commission and have to be approved by the City Council, and include public hearings. Harwood said the staff will likely brief the council Jan. 8."I think that's probably a workable solution," Scarth said of a special exception. "I don't want to remove compressor stations from agricultural zoning entirely. "I think there are cases where there are hundreds of acres on the edge of town, sparsely populated, where that may be exactly where we want them to be."In areas such as the east-side neighborhoods, "you kind of need to protect both sets of landowners," he said. "I think that's a good compromise."Seeking a voiceCompressor stations are placed at intervals along pipelines to ensure gas remains at a high pressure and move it along. The east-side homeowners have voiced concerns about pollution, noise, appearance, and safety.Homeowners on the east side have sought a ban on compressor stations in agricultural zoning, but appear to be satisfied by the idea of a special exception."We would love a ban, but we would be very pleased if they did that [a special exception requirement], and did that yesterday," said Kelleher, who has dogs, horses, cattle, pigs, fowl, a donkey and a llama.Jackie Barnd, a director and treasurer of the Mallard Cove association, a 200-home neighborhood near the 42-acre site, said she would support the special exception requirement."All we want is a voice," she said."I understand, and we all understand where the Barnett [Shale] is," Bob Horton, president of the Historic Randol's Mill Valley Alliance of East Side neighborhoods, said."They can't just decide to drill elsewhere. This is where the gas is," he said. "If we all want to keep driving our cars instead of public transportation, there's a toll to be paid. But we really resist the idea that they should be able to willy-nilly pursue the gas."Julie Wilson, vice president of urban development with Chesapeake Energy in Fort Worth, questioned the implementation of a special exception requirement.Blocking compressor stations where they're needed likely means more pipeline and higher horsepower elsewhere in the system, she said."It might be pushing a lot more pipeline onto other neighborhoods that might not want it there," she said.Less compression means more wells might not be drilled, she said. "Neighbors could be the ones losing out," she said.Homeowners who have signed gas leases should be willing to accept some inconveniences, she said. And regarding environmental questions, she said, the industry has "compressor stations in ag zones operating very efficiently and very quietly without any problems whatsoever."A special exception would be unfair to property owners interested in that use, she said.She also questioned a process that allows recourse only through the courts if the Zoning Board of Adjustment denies a special exception."It seems like you would want to keep this all within the council," she said.She also said Fort Worth is largely built out in terms of its needs for compressor stations."We just don't see it's a program that needs to be fixed," she said.Potential for problemsGary Hogan, a neighborhood leader who lives in the Chapel Creek area on the far west side and served on a city gas drilling ordinance committee, says he found 12 agriculturally zoned areas abutting neighborhoods in his area."What the potential of any of those having a major compression station coming in is just hard to say," he said. "But the point is, under our current ordinance, if any operator just decided they wanted to do something that big on agricultural, they could go to City Hall and get a permit by right," subject to considerations such as distances to parks and inhabited buildings.The east-side issue came to a head last year, when the owner of the 42-acre parcel unsuccessfully sought a zoning change from planned development to agricultural, to allow a compressor station.Then earlier this fall, the property owner sought agricultural zoning again -- saying it wanted to return the property to agricultural uses, not use it for a compressor station -- and was denied by the Zoning Commission and City Council.An entity called Two Ponds, working with Chesapeake's Texas Midstream Gas Services, sought the first rezoning of the 42 acres.Chesapeake has since sold Texas Midstream and now contracts compressor services.Even if that site were off the market for a compressor station, homeowners in the area are worried about other pieces of property that are already zoned agricultural."We remain unprotected here," Barnd said.Scott Nishimura, 817-390-7808Twitter: @JScottNishimuraHave more to add?

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
July 21, 2010 Front Office Focus Is the NHL doing the Devils a Favor with the Kovalchuk contract?
by Ryan Popilchak
All H-E-double-hockey-sticks has broken loose with the NHL rejecting Ilya Kovalchuk�s contract with the New Jersey Devils. Kovalchuk has been free agency�s poster boy for the �superstar� looking for a mega-deal. He got it, and then some.
The Devils signed Kovalchuk to a 17-year contract worth $102M. The problem is that the last six years have such a deflated salary that it set alarm bells off in the NHL offices as a way to circumvent the cap.
The first 11 years of the contract total $98.5M, which would be a cap hit of $8.95M per year. With the final six years tagged on, the cap hit is only $6M per. Those �sham years� effectively saved the Devils almost $3M in cap space despite the fact that it�s highly unlikely Kovalchuk will play until he�s 44.
While there are other contracts that have used similar shrinking salaries over the final years of the deal, none were this blatant. The NHL picked this deal to draw the line and say enough is enough.
The real question, however, is whether this was a good deal for the Devils in the first place.
According to CapGeek.com, the Devils are actually $1.8M over the cap with Kovalchuk�s deal, and have only 20 players signed. Obviously they will have to move someone this offseason to make room. On top of that, they have Zach Parise as a restricted free agent next year. If they want to sign him to a long-term deal, they�ll need to make even more room.
The large contracts of Brian Rolston (~$5M) and Jason Arnott ($4.5M) are likely candidates, but their spots on the roster still have to be filled. These are obstacles but not insurmountable. Obviously if Kovalchuk�s cap hit escalates to the range of $9M per year, the problem gets much worse.
What about the value that Kovalchuk brings to the ice? He�s a dynamic scorer and power-play performer, but how does he compare to other elite forwards?
The most comparable player to Kovalchuk with a recent contract is Nicklas Backstrom of the Washington Capitals. They�re not the same player, but are both recent signings, reflecting recent views of value in the NHL and have similar GVT levels over the past 3 years.
The table below shows the average performance of both players over the past 3 seasons.
2007-2010 Average (3 seasons) Kovalchuk Backstrom Cap Hit 6 6.7 Age 27 22 GVT 19.6 19.1 Pts / 60 2.75 2.48 Corsi / 60 -6.18 17.18 Corsi QoC 0.091 -1.408 Corsi QoT -6.57 11.65 Zone Starts (% offensive) 48.3% 59.2% Shooting % 12.27% 10.64% GVT per $ (in M) 3.27 2.85
Both players have fantastic GVT ratings for a 3-year span and are excellent point producers, with the edge to Kovalchuk.
Backstrom has been a much better possession player (Corsi) but has played with much better teammates (QoT) and has actually faced much easier competition (QoC) than Kovalchuk. The big Russian has been the focus of every team he�s faced while Backstrom gets to lurk in the shadow of players like Ovechkin and Semin.
Kovalchuk�s Zone Starts, however, are misleading. Due to Atlanta�s poor team, they constantly started shifts in their own end. In his two full seasons with the Thrashers, Kovy actually had the 3rd and 4th best zone starts among Atlanta forwards.
Despite some of the negative (and well-deserved) press that Kovalchuk receives for his defensive play, the underlying numbers would tell us that he�s still a pretty good value with a cap hit of $6M.
The real concern for the Devils should be the length of the agreement. Forwards generally progress until their early to mid-twenties and hold that production level through their late twenties and early thirties. After that, their production tends to drop off quickly.
Backstrom was signed to a 10-year extension, but those years will be the prime of his career. The deal will expire when he�s 32.
Kovalchuk is 27 and has likely peaked as a player. He may get more production over the next 3-4 years than his career averages, purely from playing with a better supporting cast. That said, it is highly unlikely that he will perform at his current level for more than the first four years of the deal. That leaves 13 years left on the deal, unless he retires early which is quite likely.
Given his poor defensive play, he will need to be used mainly in offensive situations and on the power-play, meaning other players on the Devils will have to play the tough minutes. Seemingly as a perfect match, Devils GM Lou Lamoriello signed two very defensive blueliners in Henrik Tallinder and Anton Volchenkov earlier in free agency.
At a $6M cap hit, Lamoriello appeared to have made the steal of free agency, a top offensive player at a cap number he could manage. Along with the signings mentioned above, it seemed as though New Jersey had locked up a spot among the Eastern Conference contenders for the next few seasons. Kovalchuk would likely retire as a Devil and they�d never be forced to eat any extra cap space.
Although once the NHL is done with the contract, it might be a $8-9M per year cap hit and the Devils could be forced to choose between the Russian sniper and several players already on their roster. They�re already $1.8M in the hole, so an extra $2-3M could render the Devils� cap situation unholy.

Washington Post Notes Rick Hill's Poor Leadership
The Washington Post's "The Fix" blog highlighted Rick Hill's reputation for poor leadership this week.
At issue is an AP article uncovered by Democrats profiling Hill's lack of leadership abilities. Apparently, Hill "buzz-sawed through three chiefs of staff, three legislative directors and three schedulers in just two years" and that he "lent new meaning to the term 'micromanage' when he went ballistic after an aide ordered the wrong kind of office paper."
If he can't even manage a small congressional staff, he's going to have trouble serving as the head of the executive branch in charge of running the entire state.
On Friday, the Post released a ranked list of the most competitive gubernatorial races across the country. Montana is again one of the top five to watch this cycle. Here's how the Washington Post described the race:
"4. Montana (Democratic-controlled): This is by all accounts a Republican-leaning state, but Democrats have a statewide official, in Attorney General Steve Bullock, while Republicans have a pretty uncertain crop of candidates. The leading GOP contender appears to be former congressman Rick Hill, who Democrats noted this week was once rated the second most-difficult boss in Congress. We have yet to see what Hill is made of, but it will go a long way in determining the GOP's chances here. An automated poll from Democratic-leaning pollster Public Policy Polling this week showed Bullock and Hill tied at 39 percent."
The entire AP article on Rick Hill's lack of leadership skills can be read below the fold.

Step up to MyPlate, the new food icon
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
39 comments posted
For nearly 20 years the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food pyramid has cast its shadow over America. Its goal was to influence everything from what farmers grow, to how manufacturers make products and even what Americans choose to buy and eat. Today, however, there's a new icon in town — and it's called MyPlate.
Plain and simple, the new plate icon shows what types of foods should comprise your main meals — one-half vegetables and fruit, one-fourth grains and one-fourth protein, with a little low-fat dairy on the side. A plate is easy to relate to. You see it and think, "Hey I can dish up servings like that." The old pyramid was quite abstract, and many people found it hard to transfer the concept to the table.
The website www.ChooseMyPlate.gov offers additional information, including details about the food groups, healthy eating tips, weight loss information, and tools to analyze your diet and create a personalized eating plan. All of this is based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
MyPlate also features a few key messages:
- Enjoy your food, but eat less.
- Avoid oversized portions.
- Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread and frozen meals — choose the foods with lower numbers.
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
Missing from MyPlate, however, is any symbol for physical activity. I can understand the desire to keep the icon simple, but this is an important concept. I'll be interested in learning why this was left off — especially since being active is key to fighting the obesity epidemic. The MyPlate website does at least link to www.LetsMove.gov, a site supported by a consortium of government agencies and dedicated to helping kids and families get more active.
On balance, I'm glad to see the new icon. It very much supports what the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid has promoted for more than a decade — an emphasis on vegetables, fruits and whole grains, and small amounts of lean protein and low-fat dairy. The Mayo Clinic pyramid also includes physical activity — and will continue to do so — as an essential part of maintaining a healthy weight and staying healthy.
Check out MyPlate and take another look at the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid too. What are your thoughts?

Jennifer, thanks for the great info. you continue to provide on eating and living healthy. I'm a teacher, living in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. I'm also a teacher, in a Toronto elementary school. There's not one day that passes where I'm not in some kind of chat with family, colleagues and students about the very topic of healthy lifestyle choices (i.e., "eating habits" and levels of "activity"). I try not to impose my views or opinions on "what" people should or shouldn't eat...but rather I inform those I speak with about the pros and cons about the "choices" we make - "food for thought". What they "choose" to do with the info. is entirely up to them. However, I confess there is a bit more "leading" toward healthier choices with family members and friends (or anyone who asks) because I feel I owe them at least a bit more than what society is providing. On another not, I was pondering the "MyPlate" dilemma. Would it not be great to use a bicycle. One wheel can have a plate similar to the "MyPlate" and the other wheel can show a "pie" of "other" important things people need to achieve a "total" healthy lifestyle (including amount of sleep, etc.). The bike itself would essentially represents the "bringing it all together"..."which includes missing "exercise" or "activity" portion you spoke to. So, imagine now a picture with a

While "The Plate" is MUCH better than the pyramid, they still haven't taken into account the needs of homes with two working adults. A lot of the meals on the sample menus, specifically for breakfast and lunch, require cooking. I, for one, am at work during breakfast and lunch, and do not have the ability to cook at work, save for microwavable meals. I realize that meals can be prepared ahead of time and heated at work but, honestly, who has time to do all that in the evening between taking care of children, cleaning the house and doing home repair projects all while trying to squeeze in at least an hour of exercise per day. I would love to see some quick and easy, yet portable healthy meal plans available for those of us who don't have the time to cook three meals per day...

It's amazing how man has placed so much effort trying to figure the food we should eat. The foods we should eat has been made known since God created us (even for the evolutionists). Read Genesis 1:29. If you obey his Word, he will sustain you. It works! God's Word is better than man's. Only trust in the Lord, not man.

I've struggled with trying to gain weight my whole life. I have tried to figure out the pyramid, which I had on my refrigerator door for a long time, but it was impossible for me to figure out how to translate it into three meals per day. The plate is just what I needed. I'm a visual person, and this was perfect.

The "pyramid" was so upside down in health guidelines that it probably caused a lot of disease (heart disease, type II diabetes, etc) . Why then would I follow a "new" guideline handed to us by the same people that gave us the pyramid?

Really? You can't figure out why exercise is not put on an icon of a dinner plate? Does your family exercise on the dinner table? The plate is a great visual, much better than having a sweaty guy doing pushups on a tomato.

I have Type II diabetes and have looked everywhere for sample meals for two to three carbs per meal. Is there a book or software package that will provide this? It takes a lot of time to plan these meals for a day. The nutritionist gave me books and one page with sample meals.

It is suggested to use low-fat dairy but usually the lack of fat increases the salt content & vise versa. How do you balance them if you would like to keep both items in some sort of balance?
- Andrea

Glad to see 'Protein' instead of Meat, Poultry and Fish because plant-based proteins are healthier than animal-based proteins. Read the 'China Study' by Dr T.Colin Campbell to learn more. A plant-based diet is actually the cure for cancer, heart-disease, diabetes and a lot of other ailments, but we have been brainwashed by the meat and processed foods industries to think that we need animal-protein and lots of it. Also glad to see that the 'protein' portion of the plate is decreasing because it is a myth that humans need as much protein as what is recommended in the government diets. Not happy to see 'Dairy' being forced on people again. Water should have been shown there instead. More and more of the population is lactose-intolerant and more and more studies point to a protein in milk as the main cause of Type I (juvenile) diabetes. A brand new documentary on milk will be coming out very soon.

The plate icon is elegant in it's simplicity, but the math puzzles me. If you've accounted for 100% of the food intake, the how much is a "little" dairy. Vit. D. and calcium are so important for both children and adults. I'd love to see a bottle of "clear" water as a drink and perhaps a simple illustration of cardio/core/flexibility & toning exercises (using stick-like figures?)running around the edges of the place mat. Exercise/movement is inextricable from good nutrition if what you are trying to promote is the prevention of obesity and the maintenance of health. Perhaps making the plate larger in proportion to the foods might convey the concepts of smaller portion sizes. More accurate color choices for the food groups might be nice because color on a plate can be a sign of good nutritional choices, but protein does not generally come in purple. The vegetable color should be dark green and the fruits dark blue/purple to convey those choices within those groups which have the most nutritional value. Over all, a very nice try to simplify the message about food choices. Useful as a teaching tool for children, especially.

I like the plate icon it is a no brainer. I would think the physical activity symbol is not included on the plate because the plate is about nutrition not exercise. The maybe should come up with an exercise mat with cardio, strength, balance and flexability.

Tina: You asked about the recommended servings of protein for the 2,000-calorie DASH diet (as shown in our guide to DASH servings). Yes 6 or fewer servings a day is correct. It may seem high, but keep in mind that DASH defines 1 serving as 1 ounce of cooked meat, poultry or fish. So the recommendation translates to no more than 6 ounces a day of protein. Thanks for your question.

I think that the old food pyramid was a much more easily understood graphic representation than the "My Plate" one. A few years ago they came out with an "improved" pyramid that looked like it had a flying buttress or something going up the side, but it didn't seem to gain much favor because it was too complicated. I think that the new "My Plate symbol" is harder to visualize. They should leave the old pyramid alone; if it isn't broken, don't fix it.
- Ron
June 10, 2011 12:18 p.m.
Is there a typo on website - see DASH diet section. It states "Lean meat, poultry and fish (6 or fewer servings a day)" assuming this should be (6 or fewer servings a WEEK)??
- Tina
June 10, 2011 10:52 a.m.
I think the new icon is easily understood and at least attempts to address portion size as well as nutritional balance questions. However, the pyramid made pretty much the same points, and even with a different icon, if people continue to eat huge portions of high fat or processed foods, we will continue to be a nation of the overweight and under-healthy. As to the comment about the government telling us what to do, I would counter that by asking why the government shouldn't put out healthy eating guidelines, since obesity is a public health issue that costs billions of dollars in healthcare expenses? No one is forcing you to follow these recommendations - that's what the words guideline/recommendation mean.

I fail to understand why there continues to be so much opposition to low carb diets! With the New Atkins Diet I lost in less than one month what it took several months to lose on a Weight Watchers program. My blood pressure was reduced, my LDLs increased,hunger was eliminated, I enjoyed higher salt and saturated fats (which are essential components for normal metabolism and growth)and I did not have to spend so much time and worry about portion control. Using the Pyramid our nation has doubled in obesity. Why don't we start pushing low carb diets??

MyPlate? Why not iPlate, just for the heck of it? The old food pyramid quite abstract?! Oh just give me a break! I could easily fit a double whopper on your myplate, with a milk shake on the side (lots of fries for veggies and few slices of tomato for fruit). If you are trying to re-invent and idiot-proof food and life, you'll have to do better than this!

As important as exercise is, it was not part of the useless pyramid that we had as a guideline for years. This is such a good visual image and so easy to get a good idea about the "main basic food groups" that are required for a healthy diet. By the way, when you cook these foods you'll include the fats and oils necessary for the daily diet, that were "left out", as someone mentioned. People appear to need to be told what to do in detail. It's easier to criticize than to be positive. More people will understand "my plate" than the useless pyramid.
- Susana
June 8, 2011 4:57 p.m.
This is much easier for the public to visualize servings. It does not take into consideration dessert ( fruit could have been on a separate small plate ) and I agree that exercise is a huge issue with healthy eating and lifestyle.

Fundación Natura
Fundación Natura in Quito, between Avenidas Amazonas and Mariana de Jesús, has trail maps and information and can make overnight reservations.
Fundación Natura in Quito, between Avenidas Amazonas and Mariana de Jesús, has trail maps and information and can make overnight reservations.
The small, ever-present hill to the south of the old town is called El Panecillo and is a major Quito landmark. It is topped by a huge statue of La Virgen de Quito (Virgin of Quito), with a crown of stars, eagle's wings and a chained dragon atop the world.
Proudly flying the green, white and orange, this Irish-owned bar is the current favorite among expats (and a growing number of locals) for its friendly, welcoming vibe, quiz nights (currently Tuesday) and pool, darts and table football. The classic wood-lined bar is also a good place to dig into fish and chips, shepherd's pie, burgers and other pub grub.
Popular, traveler-recommended internet café.
This tiny expat-owned spot has earned a local following for its tasty square burgers. Outdoor tables and kitschy decor set the scene.
The US Embassy is located right next to Parque El Arbolito, opposite Museo del Banco Central. It can answer all your visa questions and is a great source of general advice. Before you go, check out the website - you may find your answers there.
This cozy bar-pizzeria sits perched on the hillside in Guápulo. It has a wee terrace (complete with fireplace) and several good nooks for secreting away with a cocktail and a friend.
If you're short on time head straight to the old town. It's here that Quito distinguishes itself from all other cities in the world. Be certain to see the Plaza and Monastery of San Francisco, the Plaza de la Independencia (Plaza Grande), La Compañía de Jesús and the Museo de Arte Colonial.
Near the airport.
Small shop selling new and used titles in Spanish, English, German and French.
Terminal Quitumbe , located 5km southwest of the old town handles destinations south of Quito.
Sleek and slender, Uncle Ho's whips up tasty bowls of pho (noodle soup), sea bass with chili and lime over rice noodles, glazed spare ribs and other Vietnamese hits. Eat at the counter or grab an outdoor table on the quiet street in front.
World Bike offers a three-day glacier school and guided trips to the summit of Volcán Cayambe. Guide services average $80 per day.
Gay Guide to Quito.
Inside the Parque Itchimbia, this new outpost of the Pim's chain offers fantastic views over the city. Enjoy tasty traditional Ecuadorian fare, plus sandwiches and cocktails in the elegant, if somewhat stuffy, dining room, or on the outside patio.
If you get robbed, file a police report at the police station between 9am and noon, particularly if you wish to make an insurance claim.
The Quito train station is about 2km south of the old town. The trains are old-fashioned with primitive bathroom facilities (part of the fun), and many passengers ride on the roof.
The UK Embassy is conveniently located by the electric bus line, just north of the New Town. For help with visas and passports, consular support and travel advice, this is your spot. It has a brilliant website (in English) - log on before you line up!
Located in Guápulo, behind the Hotel Quito.

Las investigaciones científicas realizadas desde mediados de los años setenta indican que cuando reciben tratamiento para la drogadicción, muchos de los delincuentes que abusan de drogas cambian sus actitudes, creencias y comportamientos hacia el abuso de drogas, evitan las recaídas, y se apartan exitosamente de una vida de abuso de sustancias y de crimen.
Khat (pronounced "cot") is a stimulant drug derived from a shrub (Catha edulis) that is native to East Africa and southern Arabia. The khat plant itself is not scheduled under the Controlled Substances Act; however, because one of the mind-altering chemicals found in it, cathinone, is a Schedule I drug (a controlled substance with no recognized therapeutic use), the Federal Government considers Khat use illegal.
Leaves of the khat shrub are typically chewed and held in the cheek, like chewing tobacco, to release their stimulant chemicals.
El khat es una droga estimulante derivada de un arbusto (Catha edulis) nativo del África oriental y del sur de Arabia. Aunque la planta del khat en sí no está listada en la Ley sobre Sustancias Controladas, la catinona, uno de sus componentes químicos que altera la mente, sí está entre las drogas de la Categoría I (sustancia controlada que no está reconocida para uso terapéutico), por lo que el gobierno federal considera su uso ilegal.
Although other abused drugs can be inhaled, the term inhalants is reserved for the wide variety of substances—including solvents, aerosols, gases, and nitrites—that are rarely, if ever, taken via any other route of administration. (See below for a list of examples.)
Stimulant medications (e.g., methylphenidate and amphetamines) are often prescribed to treat individuals diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). ADHD is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that is more frequently displayed and more severe than is typically observed in individuals at a comparable level of development. This pattern of behavior usually becomes evident in the preschool or early elementary years, and the median age of onset of ADHD symptoms is 7 years.
The principles listed below are the result of long-term research studies on the origins of drug abuse behaviors and the common elements of effective prevention programs. These principles were developed to help prevention practitioners use the results of prevention research to address drug use among children, adolescents, and young adults in communities across the country. Parents, educators, and community leaders can use these principles to help guide their thinking, planning, selection, and delivery of drug abuse prevention programs at the community level.
Many people do not understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. It is often mistakenly assumed that drug abusers lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop using drugs simply by choosing to change their behavior. In reality, drug addiction is a complex disease, and quitting takes more than good intentions or a strong will. In fact, because drugs change the brain in ways that foster compulsive drug abuse, quitting is difficult, even for those who are ready to do so.

Aerosmith have released a sneak peek at the video for the lead single, "Legendary Child," from their forthcoming album, Music from Another Dimension.
The vid, directed by Casey Patrick Tebo (Judas Priest, Jennifer Hudson), is the first from the group in eight years.
The clip features guitarist, Joe Perry, talking about the video with Tebo:
"Turn the sound off, it works great. It's kind of like an old standby from the days of making videos for MTV. If the video was good without the sound, then I knew we had something . . . It's really an exciting piece."
"Can't wait for people to see the new Aerosmith video. looked great and really rocked. Psyched. Soon I shall unleash my fury on the world," Tebo added in a previous tweet.
Music from Another Dimension is due August 28.

Sex during pregnancy: What's OK, what's not
Has pregnancy spiked your interest in sex? Or is sex the last thing on your mind? Either way, here's what you need to know about sex during pregnancy.
By Mayo Clinic staffIf you want to get pregnant, you have sex. No surprises there. But what about sex while you're pregnant? The answers aren't always as obvious.
Here's what you need to know about sex during pregnancy.
Is it OK to have sex during pregnancy?
As long as your pregnancy is proceeding normally, you can have sex as often as you like — but you might not always want to.
At first, hormonal fluctuations, fatigue and nausea might sap your sexual desire. As your pregnancy progresses, weight gain, back pain and other symptoms might further dampen your enthusiasm for sex.
Your emotions might take a toll on your sex drive, too.
Concerns about how pregnancy or the baby will change your relationship with your partner might weigh heavily on your mind — even while you're eagerly anticipating the addition to your family. Fears about sexual activity harming the baby or anxiety about childbirth might team up to sap your sex drive. Changes in your self-image might play a role as well, especially as your pregnancy progresses.
Can sex during pregnancy cause a miscarriage?
Although many couples worry that sex during pregnancy will cause a miscarriage, sex isn't generally a concern. Early miscarriages are usually related to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems in the developing baby — not to anything you do or don't do.
Does sex during pregnancy harm the baby?
Your developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the strong muscles of the uterus itself. Sexual activity won't affect your baby.
What are the best sexual positions during pregnancy?
As long as you're comfortable, most sexual positions are OK during pregnancy.
As your pregnancy progresses, experiment to find what works best. Rather than lying on your back, for example, you might want to lie next to your partner sideways or position yourself on top of your partner or in front of your partner.
Let your creativity take over, as long as you keep mutual pleasure and comfort in mind.
What about oral and anal sex?
Oral sex is safe during pregnancy. If you receive oral sex, though, make sure your partner doesn't blow air into your vagina. Rarely, a burst of air might block a blood vessel (air embolism) — which could be a life-threatening condition for you and the baby.
Generally, anal sex isn't recommended during pregnancy. Anal sex might be uncomfortable if you have pregnancy-related hemorrhoids. More concerning, anal sex might allow infection-causing bacteria to spread from the rectum to the vagina.

A nice review of Vivobarefoot Pally made by a big fan of pink! Reviewed by his daughter, the author Damien says "Beautifully constructed, the Vivobarefoot Pally by Terra Plana satisfies her desire for fashion, and my desire for function." Click on the image below to read more.
The Guardian's Sam Murphy talks about how being barefoot is the healthiest way for kids' feet to be. 2nd best of course is Vivobarefoot Kids.
As we all know, Mums know best. Mumsnet blog are talking about this already, click here
Click on the image to read the full Guardian online article:
Check out this Terra Plana Kids review on GeekDad.com, featuring the Pally, using VivoBarefoot technology.
Our Vivobarefoot Kids shoes were in the May/June edition of Right Start parenting magazine.
Here's a little snippet of what they said:
"Vivobarefoot Kids footwear range is now available in all Terra Plana stores. Developed by podiatrists in South Africa where they were first introduced, the shoes are based on the principle that being barefoot is the healthiest and most natural way forchildren's feet to be."
Here's what Meryl Levin from Parentdish.com said about our VivoBarefoot kids shoes.
By now you've probably heard that the best thing you can do for your children's feet is let them run around barefoot. Well, depending on where you live, this presents varying degrees of impossibility (at the beach, perhaps; in New York City, not a chance).
Enter shoe maker Terra Plana and their VivoBarefoot line, which now includes styles for kids. Developed by podiatrists, they are as close to being barefoot as shoes can get, but offer the necessary protection of a thin puncture-resistant sole. Benefits can include improved posture, circulation, foot health, and strength.
Plus they are pretty darn cute.
Keep in the loop, become a fan of our Terra Plana Facebook page

Zaurus Kernel Replacement
From OESF
Zaurus Kernel Replacement
There are several replacement kernels for the C3000 which enhance the stock kernel that ships with Sharp's ROM. You can even build your own if you want (and know how to). The kernel source is available on Sharp's developer website. However, there are some smart people who already build and tested their own enhanced kernels. One of those is Tetsu's special kernel which has been build for optimised speed and also includes iptables and bluetooth modules. It also makes the battery status more accurate and the latest version has video for linux enabled.
Warning: The kernel is an important part of the Linux OS. A bad kernel can corrupt your Zaurus, so don't play around with it unless you know what you are doing.
* Download and place the files onto a CF or SD card. * Turn off your Zaurus and disconnect the power cable (and any other cables). * Unlock the battery compartment and take it out for about 5 seconds. * Put it back in and lock it again. * Plug your Zaurus into the AC power. * Hold the "OK" key on the keyboard or the back of the Zaurus and turn on the device with the "On/Off" button. * You should see the maintenance menu and select option 4 to update/flash the ROM. * Select either 1. CF or 2. SD depending on where your update files are. * Confirm to proceed with the update by selecting Y. * Turn off your Zaurus and turn it back on. * Install the kernel module ipk file (unless you have already installed iptables or bluez).

Truck bed storage-Ideas?
Is there something out that can be purchased or any ideas for storage for pick up beds? Wanting something like side racks to hang boat cushions, fishing pols, maybe extra close I am trying to stay away from putting holes in my cap.

The only purpose of a school is to teach, basically the 3 Rs. The rest: feeding, etc. is the job of parents. Schools are already overfunded.
The 3 R's? Maybe Laura Ingalls taught this way, but not anymore. She could not earn a teaching credential with that limited expertise. The school district would not receive its funding, either. This isn't the 19th century. It isn't even the 20th century.
I'd like to see you over one shred of evidence that public schools are over-funded. There isn't any.

You Gotta Laugh A Little: Starnet Correction; Roads Bond; TPD Impersonators
by Amy Glor on Jun. 18, 2012, under Check Out My Briefs, Vocally general info, You Gotta LaughThere's NOTHING more "Tucson" than Summer Hours. They just make sense. Sure, they can be mildly annoying and inconvenient, but, c'mon, man… it's HOT. We're all tired and sweaty. We just want to go home, take a cool shower and sit in front of a fan. If it weren't for the get-out-of-triple-digit-jail-free card that is Summer Hours, we'd lose our ever-lovin' minds all over each other. Believe that.
So, in the spirit of maintaining harmony & order, I give you:
Locally, Vocally Summer Hours
Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays — Open by noon (-ish) with an abbreviated version of You've Gotta Laugh.
Tuesdays & Thursdays — A little somethin'-somethin' at some point. (Probably. Unless it's a particularly nice day, as I am known to wander off.) Maybe it'll be an event listing, maybe a cool article link, maybe a restaurant/business review… you never know.
Weekends — The Seen, as usual, since I can't help taking pictures everywhere I go anyway…
Anytime — Check out the Locally, Vocally Facebook page. Links to my posts, plus other cool stuff that doesn't make it onto the blog for one reason or another. You can also follow me on Twitter — you'll get a tweet every time I post… no guesswork!
Thanks for your patience — we've gotta stick together 'till those temps come back down.
Now, without further ado: You've Gotta Laugh A Little
A Starnet article on Saturday left out just one teeny little part of CD2 candidate Ron Barber's statement regarding the DREAM Act — so running a teeny little correction admitting the editorialization was fair, right?
The omitted statement?
That securing the border & fixing the immigration system are crucial to both AZ & the nation.
Oh. Sure. That's no big deal.
City Council is tinkering with the idea of fixing our roads. By upping our property taxes.
To raise the necessary $100 million (Actually, by one council member's estimate, we need more like $800 mil, but let's not split $7M hairs, shall we?) the city would need voters to approve a bond issue.
On the heels of squandering untold millions of voters' Rio Nuevo bond dollars.
Can you hear this, council? Want us to turn it up?
Local police are on the lookout for a man and woman who have been going around impersonating law enforcement officers.
The duo has stopped a bunch of motorists in the last few months, issuing verbal warnings and even breaking up a fight.
Not exactly the kind of vigilante law we're used to here in the wild, wild West, eh?
Locally, Vocally's "You've Gotta Laugh A Little" feature is intended as humorous commentary, and is not recommended for use by the sarcastically-impaired.

This paper examines the response of employment and wages in the US oil and gas field services industry to changes in the price of crude petroleum using a time series of quarterly data spanning the period 1972-2002. The author finds that labor quickly reallocates across sectors in response to price shocks but that substantial wage premia are necessary to induce such reallocation. The timing of these premia is at odds with the predictions of standard models wage premia emerge quite slowly, peaking only as labor adjustment ends and then slowly dissipating. After considering alternative explanations, the author argues that a dynamic market clearing model with sluggish movements in industry wide labor demand is capable of rationalizing these findings.
