Raising bluegill for food markets to be highlighted at aquaculture conference
New methods of producing bluegill for food markets will be a highlight of the 2010 Missouri Aquaculture Conference, Jan. 12 to 13 at Lincoln University's Carver Farm in Jefferson City.
"Raising bluegill in ponds or cages for food markets may offer income opportunities for aquaculture producers and pond owners here in Missouri," said Bob Pierce, University of Missouri Extension fisheries and wildlife specialist.
Research by MU and Lincoln University scientists on improved brood stock, cage culture and feed techniques has shown that it's possible to raise bluegill to market weight in about 18 months.
"It takes about three years for bluegill to grow to a half-pound under normal conditions," said Chuck Hicks, principal investigator for aquaculture research at Lincoln University. "Cutting that time to less than two years is essential to making bluegill a commercially viable food fish in Missouri."
Bluegill, also known as perch, bream and coppernose, among other names, is a common resident of Missouri lakes and ponds. According to Pierce, the native sunfish has potential to become a competitive local alternative to popular aquaculture species such as tilapia.
Hicks will provide a step-by-step overview of raising bluegill in cages. Russell Gerlach, aquaculture project coordinator at Lincoln, will show how to build durable cages from off-the-shelf parts for about $75 each.
Other presenters will include Marvin Emerson of Crystal Lake Fisheries and Kevin Flowers of Flowers Fish Farm, who will offer producer perspectives on biosecurity and fish health testing.
Mark Russell, agribusiness development manager with the Missouri Department of Economic Development, will cover financial incentives available to aquaculture producers in the state. Bart Hawcroft, aquaculture specialist for the Missouri Department of Agriculture, will discuss an aquaculture grant that he administered in 2009.
Royce Wilson, veterinarian with the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, will provide an update on viral hemorrhagic septicemia, a highly contagious disease that has triggered large die-offs of fish in the Great Lakes.
Other topics will include state import regulations, state economic development incentives and federal disaster assistance programs.
Bruce Drecktrah, manager of the Missouri Department of Conservation's Blind Pony Hatchery near Sweet Springs, will talk about renovations at the hatchery, which is producing pallid sturgeon to restore populations of this endangered fish in the Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
The conference is sponsored by the Missouri Aquaculture Association, Missouri Department of Agriculture, Lincoln University and MU Extension.
Registration begins at 12:30 p.m., Jan. 12. The Missouri Aquaculture Association is encouraging attendees to visit their state legislators while in Jefferson City, either in morning before the meeting begins Jan. 12 or in the afternoon after the meeting adjourns Jan. 13.

As my (wife's, as she always tells me!) cat has crossed his 1 year birthday, I thought I'd fire up a thread for people to share a pic or two of their (Edu)pets! This is Dexter, he helps me slay zombies by punching my monitor with his paws. He also uses my arm as a scratching post...

What breed is he? Ragdoll?
I'm never one to pass up an opportunity to share pics of Enzo! He's only 8 months old now and he's bigger than some of the adult cats in the neighbourhood.... There is a joke in our household that he's part Domestic cat, part Panther lol.
Enzo on day 1 - He hid on the shelf under our dining room table and fell asleep on the placemats.
More of Enzo
We're decorating so excuse the state of the stairs. This was a few weeks after we got him.
In summer he would flake out on the arm of the chair in the breeze from the windows. He likes watching TV.
This is quite recent - he always sits on my lap whenever I sit down on the sofa
I've given up trying to get him to stop lying on my pillow, drinking out of my water glass (better that than the toilet...) and jumping on the work surfaces. We go through a LOT of dettol in our house....

According to the pilot, the windsock indicated the wind was from 290 degrees in excess of 15 knots when he landed on runway 21. He stated that the airplane encountered windshear as it approached the runway. The shift in the wind and the increase in speed resulted in the airplane floating down the runway prior to touching down. The pilot reported he was unable to stop the airplane with the brakes and it traveled off the end of the runway where it nosed over upon encountering an embankment. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the empennage and wings. The pilot stated he elected not to perform a go-around due to powerlines near the departure end of the runway.

American Documentary – POV
Gail Dolgin & Robin Fryday
"The Barber of Birmingham: Foot Soldier of the Civil Rights Movement", on PBS
An intimate short documentary profile of an 85-year-old barber and civil rights veteran
In this short film, Alabama barber and civil rights veteran James Armstrong experienced the fulfillment of an unimaginable dream: the election of the first African American president. Armstrong, who went to jail and risked his life to fight for civil rights in the 1960's, was one of many average citizens who became "foot soldiers" for the cause in the South. The directors wove historical events through Armstrong's journey with humor and poignancy, telling the larger narrative of the civil rights movement through his life.
The film's visuals are beautifully composed. Audiences get a fresh perspective on the fight for civil rights through this intimate and genuine story.

Newtown Tragedy Coverage
Sober and professional breaking news coverage of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School
From the morning of the shootings and in the painful days that followed, CBS News covered the mass shooting in Newtown with professionalism and integrity. Reporting across the network's programs consistently gave viewers context, and explored many dimensions of the tragedy including the popularity of the AR 15 rifle used in the shootings and its place in America's gun culture, and the inner most thoughts of the grieving families. The political battle over gun control in Washington and an exclusive interview with Mayor Mike Bloomberg were also featured in their coverage. CBS News was unflinching in showing the "fog of war" reporting in the first confusing hours, and Scott Pelley's conversation on "60 Minutes" with seven of the families that lost children was remarkable for its courage and candor.

Center for Investigative Reporting
"Broken Shield"
An innovative multimedia investigation that exposed a special police force's failure to defend those most vulnerable
In this dynamic multimedia project from The Center for Investigative Reporting, a nonprofit journalism organization, investigative reporter Ryan Gabrielson spent 18 months investigating the failures of a special California state police force assigned to protect residents of state facilities with severe mental and emotional disabilities. Gabrielson exposed how sworn officers and detectives waited too long to start investigations, failed to collect evidence and ignored key witnesses leading to an alarming inability to solve crimes. Dozens of women were sexually assaulted inside state centers. To tell some of their stories, CIR produced multimedia videos illustrating specific cases that appeared online, on air on major market television stations and on public radio. As a result of the project, a criminal investigation was launched and new laws were passed in California.

Outside the Lines: Youth Football Concerns
An important investigative series that uncovered alarming problems with youth football leagues
With solid writing, reporting and research, this series of three reports uncovered serious problems with youth football in America, where three million children play annually, including a player paralyzed after being coached to use a dangerous tackling technique, coaches offering cash prizes for big hits and rampant gambling.
This important investigation added to the growing body of coverage about concussions and football with stories that graphically illustrated the problems and featured exclusive interviews with those involved in the controversies. ESPN's reporting had an impact by identifying abuses and policy gaps as well as prompting an 18-month police investigation into corruption and gambling.

KMGH-TV, Denver & Keli Rabon
Colorado Rape Victims: Evidence Ignored, Justice Denied
A yearlong investigation that exposed systemic failures in the handling of rape cases in Colorado
In this tenacious series of reports, KMGH-TV and reporter Keli Rabon held Colorado police officials accountable for their refusal to test all rape kits, leaving thousands of victims without their day in court and potentially hundreds of rapists free to re-offend. Rabon and her team found cursory police investigations, Denver prosecutors accepting only the most clear-cut cases and elected officials refusing to answer questions. Using open records requests, they found many police departments throughout the state had no idea how many rape kits they had in evidence, or how many had been tested.
The stories had high production values; excellent
photography, editing, and clear writing. After the reports aired, legislation passed requiring authorities to test all rape kits, and Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the bill into law in June.

"Devastation in Oklahoma"
Impressive breaking news coverage that aired the day after a tornado hit Moore, Oklahoma
Even by the standards of a large network team covering a breaking disaster story, NBC News produced remarkable high quality reporting the day after a tornado tore through Moore, Oklahoma in May 2013. Powerful stories featured on Nightly News and a Dateline special report included home video of the funnel sucking up debris, scenes of a mother discovering her missing son, significant early coverage of calls for better underground shelters at schools and the political obstacles to building them, plus a look at the trauma center in Oklahoma City, which learned how to treat trauma after the 1995 federal courthouse bombing. The network committed significant resources to an impressive newsgathering effort that produced fresh and vivid reporting.

An original documentary about the culture wars in America today told through the inner workings of the Texas Board of Education
Shot over the course of three years, director Scott Thurman gained unique access to the Texas Board of Education, America's most influential, where a few citizens are fighting a battle to shape the course of American education through the revision of public school textbooks. Viewers see both sides of the debate, meeting key players and witnessing them tangle over critical issues like evolution.
This effective documentary presents a powerful civics
lesson in the culture wars between conservatives and liberals. The writing is spare and effective, and notable for its evenhanded tone. Thurman successfully captured intense debates, soul searching and back room compromises at the Texas Board of Education that affect us all.

U. C. Berkeley IRP, CIR, FRONTLINE & UNIVISION
"Rape in the Fields/Violación de un Sueño"
A deeply reported collaboration spanning multiple platforms that spotlighted the sexual assault of female farm workers
This unique collaboration, led by reporting from the Investigative Reporting Program at U.C. Berkeley Journalism School, with the Center for Investigative Reporting, FRONTLINE and UNIVISION produced a dynamic cross platform documentary that focused on an overlooked subject; the sexual abuse, with impunity, of female migrant farm workers. Led by producer and correspondent Lowell Bergman, the team documented the stories of farm workers who were preyed upon by their field bosses and co-workers telling the story through a series of unforgettable interviews with the victims, some all the more vulnerable because they are undocumented. The reporters tracked down some of the men accused of these crimes, often years after they occurred. The pacing of the online and broadcast video, the dynamic online resources, and the overall presentation were sharp and consistent. The unique collaboration, including the first ever between FRONTLINE and UNIVISION, enabled this multi-lingual effort to reach across the country and into the fields themselves, demanding action by those in authority.

WBEZ Chicago
This American Life: "Harper High School Parts 1 and 2"
A stark two-part radio series that captured the impact of gun violence on the students and staff of one Chicago high school
In almost cinematic fashion, these two consecutive radio stories from This American Life brought audiences inside a school on Chicago's south side that lost eight students to gun violence in the previous academic year. Three reporters spent five months following students, staff and families with remarkable access as they struggled to cope with the trauma and the aftermath of the loss.
Located in one of Chicago's most violent neighborhoods,
the reporters' ground-level observations of Harper High were truly immersive, and intercut with lively use of sound. These elements offered valuable insights into gang geography, high school culture, public health, and resilience. The extreme efforts and painful limitations of adult leadership came through, as did the violence that, as one participant said, is like the water the students swim in at Harper High.

Boston Marathon Bombings Coverage
Exceptional live coverage of a major breaking news story over the course of five days
WBZ-TV's coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings was television journalism at its very best – informative, level headed in a time of crisis, and visually arresting. The station was broadcasting live coverage of the Boston Marathon when the two bombs went off, just seconds apart on April 15, 2013. From its very first report of the explosions, this coverage was fact-filled and measured. WBZ-TV dedicated considerable resources to the reporting. After the bombings, the killers were at large and people were afraid. In the face of that concern, the anchors and reporters stayed calm. They kept their viewers up-to-date on fast-moving events. Through all the dramatic events, reporters dug deep to find sources and information not being released by government officials.

"Denticaid: Medicaid Dental Abuse in Texas"
A relentless two-year long investigative series that brought to light rampant pediatric dental Medicaid fraud
In this series of dogged reports, WFAA-TV and reporter Byron Harris uncovered a corrupt system in which hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars went to dentists who billed the government for questionable orthodontics and other procedures that, in some instances, harmed children.
One Dallas-area dental clinic cruised poor neighborhoods,
luring kids with food and cash before performing extensive, unnecessary and often harmful dental work all without parental consent. WFAA's detailed reporting featured whistleblowers, hidden camera video and the tireless pursuit of one dentist living in a mansion the size of Versailles. Because of this reporting, the Texas Medicaid commissioner and the state's dental director resigned, and congressional hearings were held.

"Body of Evidence"
An original investigative series that revealed misuse of public funds, corruption and fraud
This series of stories started on a simple tip – a coroner charged a number of meals on a public credit card. That led Lee Zurik and the WVUE-TV team to dig through thousands of pages of public documents, doing a more thorough audit of that office. Zurik discovered that the public official, the coroner, was abusing his constituents' trust – giving himself unheard of pay raises that eventually rivaled even the Vice President of the United States.
All of this just a few years after he convinced those same
constituents that he needed more money to run his office. The reporting was restrained, extensive and original. Zurik's straightforward investigative work made a difference in the public interest.

Foundation Lyrics - Xzibit
Review The Song (2)
Verse 1
When I look you in your eyes I can see my own
Straight love manifested in flesh and bone
You's a breath of fresh air in this world of shit
You was born to be a soldier don't ever forget
Hit back when hit
Use force that's effective
All these bitches and women
Son, please be selective
This is California can't stick your dick in everything
We will survive necessarily by any means
Let no man ever hold you down or supress you
It's the 90's the police just arrest you,
disrespect you on occasion take life
By the time you come of age they'll probably blast on sight
It's a shame they protect them but try to serve us
When your neck is on the line stand ground then bust
In God we trust but just incase keep it loaded and locked
Ready to rock
Then shake the spot
The Foundation
Verse 2
You came from a long line of killers and drug dealers
Who forever smoke bud
So it's probably in your blood
Realize you can only run the streets so long
Then the streets run you into the ground then gone
It's kinda ruff trying to teach you what's right from wrong
Same shit different day
It's the same ol' song
If the time ever comes that I meet my match
Take control of my assets
Fuck startin' from scratch
Take care of your mother
Keep yourself on track
Just cause niggas get behind you don't mean they got your back
Beware of the serpent
Cause there's a time in life the mothafucker will strike
And try to make you loose sight
Don't be a fake mothafucker tryin' to keep shit real
Fill cassettes with idle threats with no guts to kill
Son if you ever pull heat
Then use it
If you got a chance to walk away
Then do it
Total domination takes full concentration in all situations
A solid foundation
Verse 3
You are the foundation
Begining of a new generation
I remember hospital hallway pacin'
I was anxious as fuck to see your face shine
Only to find that yours looked like mine
So it's like I'm livin' twice at the exact same time
In this life you can't press stop
Then press rewind
Gotta live to the fullest never follow behind no man
Have your own plan, expand your mind
Ain't no paper thin game to raise wannabe thugs
This is nothing but love
Via sattelite Muggs
Take heed when it's your turn to bring new life
Make sure it's the woman you gonna make your wife
Be prepared for the worst
But expect the best
No matter where life takes you
Come home to the West
Survival takes more than just gats and guns
That's words to live by
From a father to a son

I agree with what was said above. straight fire, yet straight reality. this is the music i listen to that speaks the truth and spits the blue's all at once. The 90's are deffinately dead. but the tracks made back in those days are still alive and well. bring back the truth in the booth, and get rid of these rap fools.
Straight wisdom line after line | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/6/08
I have not heard many RAP songs that were as filled with hood wisdom as this one. Especially since the bling bling era. I am sick to my guts when I here first page color magazine's artists who rap about nothing and are usually able to do it for quite a few minutes in there hottest tracks. Guess I will always love the 90's with 2Pac, Biggie and so many more not as worldwide known as these two, who were able to tell the truth about the reality that surrounds them.
Every once in a while there is a song addressed to an offspring in example "Like father like son" by the Game. I still have not heard enough to consider myself an expert but among those I remembered The Foundation is by far no. 1!

GLUCOTROL XL® (glipizide) Extended Release Tablets
Glipizide is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug of the sulfonylurea class.
GLUCOTROL XL is indicated as an adjunct to diet for the control of hyperglycemia and its associated symptomatology in patients with type 2 diabetes formerly known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes, after an adequate trial of dietary therapy has proved unsatisfactory. GLUCOTROL XL is indicated when diet alone has been unsuccessful in correcting hyperglycemia, but even after the introduction of the drug in the patient's regimen, dietary measures should continue to be considered as important. In 12 week, well-controlled studies there was a maximal average net reduction in hemoglobin A1C of 1.7% in absolute units between placebo-treated and GLUCOTROL XL-treated patients.
In initiating treatment for type 2 diabetes, diet should be emphasized as the primary form of treatment. Caloric restriction and weight loss are essential in the obese diabetic patient. Proper dietary management alone may be effective in controlling blood glucose and symptoms of hyperglycemia. The importance of regular physical activity should also be stressed, cardiovascular risk factors should be identified, and corrective measures taken where possible.
If this treatment program fails to reduce symptoms and/or blood glucose, the use of an oral sulfonylurea should be considered. If additional reduction of symptoms and/or blood glucose is required, the addition of insulin to the treatment regimen should be considered. Use of GLUCOTROL XL must be viewed by both the physician and patient as a treatment in addition to diet, and not as a substitute for diet or as a convenient mechanism for avoiding dietary restraint. Furthermore, loss of blood-glucose control on diet alone also may be transient, thus requiring only short-term administration of glipizide.
Some patients fail to respond initially or gradually lose their responsiveness to sulfonylurea drugs, including GLUCOTROL XL. In these cases, concomitant use of GLUCOTROL XL with other oral blood-glucose-lowering agents can be considered. Other approaches that can be considered include substitution of GLUCOTROL XL therapy with that of another oral blood-glucose-lowering agent or insulin. GLUCOTROL XL should be discontinued if it no longer contributes to glucose lowering. Judgment of response to therapy should be based on regular clinical and laboratory evaluations.
In considering the use of GLUCOTROL XL in asymptomatic patients, it should be recognized that controlling blood glucose in type 2 diabetes has not been definitely established to be effective in preventing the long-term cardiovascular or neural complications of diabetes. However, in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus controlling blood glucose has been effective in slowing the progression of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy.
Effects of Metformin Versus Glipizide on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With
Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease. [2012]OBJECTIVEThe two major classes of antidiabetic drugs, sulfonylureas and
metformin, may differentially affect macrovascular complications and mortality in
diabetic patients. We compared the long-term effects of glipizide and metformin
on the major cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetic patients who had a history
of coronary artery disease (CAD).RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSThis study is a
multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial...
Dapagliflozin versus glipizide as add-on therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes who have inadequate glycemic control with metformin: a randomized, 52-week, double-blind, active-controlled noninferiority trial. [2011.09]CONCLUSIONS: Despite similar 52-week glycemic efficacy, dapagliflozin reduced weight and produced less hypoglycemia than glipizide in type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin. Long-term studies are required to further evaluate genital and urinary tract infections with SGLT2 inhibitors.
Meal fat storage in subcutaneous adipose tissue: comparison of pioglitazone and glipizide treatment of type 2 diabetes. [2010.10]Treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with pioglitazone changes abdominal fat in the opposite direction as treatment with glipizide. To determine whether these two medications affect adipose tissue meal fatty acid storage differently we studied 19 T2DM treated with either pioglitazone (n = 8) or glipizide (n = 11) and 11 non-DM control subjects matched for age, BMI, abdominal and leg fat...
Efficacy and safety of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, sitagliptin, compared with the sulfonylurea, glipizide, in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled on metformin alone: a randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority trial. [2007.03]AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of sitagliptin vs. glipizide in patients with type 2 diabetes and inadequate glycaemic control [haemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)) > or = 6.5 and < or = 10%] on metformin monotherapy... CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the addition of sitagliptin compared with glipizide provided similar HbA(1c)-lowering efficacy over 52 weeks in patients on ongoing metformin therapy. Sitagliptin was generally well tolerated, with a lower risk of hypoglycaemia relative to glipizide and with weight loss compared with weight gain with glipizide.
Lack of an effect of pioglitazone or glipizide on lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 in type 2 diabetes. [2007.03]OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-y agonist with vascular beneficial effects, and glipizide, an insulin secretagogue, on novel inflammatory vascular risk markers in subjects with and without type 2 diabetes... CONCLUSION: Type 2 diabetes is associated with elevated concentrations of the novel vascular risk marker LpPLA2 and inflammatory risk markers e-selectin and VCAM-1. Neither pioglitazone nor glipizide significantly altered LpPLA2, VCAM-1, or highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels after 12 weeks of therapy. In study subjects with type 2 diabetes, e-selectin concentrations declined significantly with pioglitazone therapy, whereas ICAM-1 concentrations decreased significantly with glipizide therapy.
Study to Understand the Genetics of the Acute Response to Metformin and Glipizide in Humans [Recruiting]
The SUGARMGH investigators are studying the influence of inherited gene variants on the
response to two commonly prescribed type 2 diabetes medications, metformin and glipizide.
They hypothesize that variants in genes that are associated with type 2 diabetes or related
traits may impact the effect of anti-diabetic medications. In addition, physiological
responses to an insulin secretagogue or an insulin sensitizer may shed light on the
mechanism of action of reported genetic associations.
A Study of MK-3102 in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Chronic Kidney Disease or Kidney Failure on Dialysis (MK-3102-019 AM2) [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MK-3102 in participants
with type 2 diabetes mellitus and moderate or severe chronic renal insufficiency or end
stage renal disease on dialysis with inadequate glycemic control.
Bioequivalence Study Of Glucotrol XL 2.5 Mg Tablets [Completed]
The objective of this study is to determine the bioequivalence of Glipizide GITS (Glucotrol
XL) 2. 5 mg tablets manufactured at the Brooklyn, New York facility versus tablets
manufactured at the facility in Barceloneta, Puerto Rico.
Outpatient Discharge Therapy With Saxagliptin+MetforminXR vs GlipizideXL for Type 2 Diabetes With Severe Hyperglycemia [Recruiting]
Saxagliptin + Metformin XR (S+M) will be effective in stabilizing blood glucose (BG) levels
in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with severe hyperglycemia (BG levels
300 to 450 mg/dl) and glucose toxicity and with no criteria for inpatient admission or
occurrence of severe hypoglycemia compared to glipizide XL.
The study may provide preliminary evidence to support the role of S+M as a bridging,
stabilizing and safe therapy in patients with severe hyperglycemia
Efficacy and Safety Study of Alogliptin Compared to Glipizide in Elderly Diabetics [Recruiting]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of alogliptin compared to
glipizide in elderly diabetic patients who have not received treatment or are on a single
oral medication.

Railsbridge: A Really ****ing Cool Way to Learn Ruby on Rails
I'm convinced that literally anything you could possibly want can be found in LA. I'm convinced.
(This is of course operating under the assumption that "anything" does not include functional public transit.)
Really, though, I'm primarily talking tech. You want to found a startup? Do it in LA. You want to learn a new skill? Do it in LA. You want to meet up with a bunch of awesome like-minded strangers who think your interests are so cool that they're willing to sit in an hour of traffic to do it with you? DO IT IN LA.
I just got back from a FREE 6-hour workshop on Ruby on Rails, hosted by Tiffany Davis, Carbon Five, and Railsbridge. Student skill level ranged from total n00bs to lead developers. (I fall somewhere in between, but found myself in Boram's advanced class for having a pseudo-working knowledge of OOP.)
Before I moved to LA, I had a tough time finding people who wanted to spend their free time learning–especially about programming. Here, I feel I can't throw a stone without smashing some poor, friendly nerd in the face. (Hence why I have sworn to give up stone-throwing for good.) But really, there are awesome, motivated people all over this city. They are out there, they are building amazing things, and they are opening these innovations up to all of us.
The workshop I attended today was a product of Railsbridge. The amazing folks behind Railsbridge have put together a guide and curriculum for you–be you an organizer, teacher, or student–to allow you to enable yourself and those around you to learn Ruby on Rails. I've taken a few stabs at learning RoR, but was never successful enough to get to a point where I could code anywhere near the speed of my excitement. This (and the pain of setting up a new dev environment) always led me to fall back onto one of my stronger languages, leaving Ruby and Rails behind. In the workshop, we worked through the painful parts of getting started together, under the leadership of professional developers. After that, we worked through what commands are most useful, some best practices on source control, how to write a basic webpage with database integration, and how to toss it all easily onto the web. (For the last part, we used Heroku, which worked fantastically for our "just-make-it-work" needs.)
Long story short, I had a blast. I can't wait to get to Crashspace and start coding! (Speaking of Crashspace, maybe we'll host a Railsbridge event of our own! Hit me up on twitter if you'd be interested!)
One Response so far...
Even functional transit is coming! Honest! Once the regional connector is up (ok, admittedly 6 years away), I'll be able to "walk" from my house in Pasadena to Crashspace in Culver City!

30 June 1998
The deregulation of earmarks and hide brands, which identify livestock ownership, will be completed at the end of this month.
The transition to a deregulated system has been in progress since 1995. Before which it was a statutory requirement for MAF Quality Management (MQM) to register livestock marks. The provisions of the Animals Act 1967, which are carried forward in the Animal Identification Act 1993, expire on June 30.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has proposed that new regulations are not necessary to register ownership identification systems. For deer and cattle, regulations have been proposed requiring systematic identification for bovine tuberculosis (TB) control purposes with approved eartags. Compulsory identification will be required for all deer and cattle , more than one month old, before it can be moved from its herd, as part of the Animal Health Board's pest management strategy for TB. For sheep earmarks, the brand registration service run by MQM since 1995 has already demonstrated it can operate successfully without recourse to regulations. Other animal industries have the option of proposing identification systems for approval and voluntary use under the Biosecurity Act 1993.
MAF and the Department of Conservation are addressing the status of farmed deer escaping onto neighbouring private land, and farmed goats in general. These animals are protected under the Wild Animal Control Act 1977 if they carry identification belonging to a system registered under the Animals Identification Act. MAF and DOC are looking at the possibility of amending this statute to include identifications approved under the Biosecurity Act such as those proposed for deer tags.
Farmers will be able to continue registering earmarks and brands at their local MQM office. Those holding expired earmarks will be invited to re-register with the non-statutory MQM brand registration service over the next 12 months, after which MQM intends to begin re-issuing unclaimed earmarks.
The MQM service is designed to overcome a problem of registered marks which have become obsolete. Once registered, a mark became the property of a farmer forever, unless formally cancelled or transferred. With no incentive to do this, the register became full of obsolete marks. The manual register accumulated more than 40,000 marks over 50 years, making it impossible to verify which marks were current when issuing new ones. Finding unique design marks also became difficult. In future, farmers using the service will have to re-register every five years.

HANNOVER, Germany (AP) -- Hannover captain and American defender Steve Cherundolo needs more surgery on his left knee.
The Bundesliga club says Cherundolo will have the surgery on Friday. The 34-year-old had the same knee operated on in February.
Cherundolo says "the injury and the timing are frustrating," but he hopes to be able to practice soon without pain.
He felt pain in the knee after a collision on Tuesday as Hannover began preseason training.
Cherundolo played only 20 games last season but set Hannover's record for Bundesliga appearances with 300.

Adopted: December 10, 1985
NTSB Number: HAR-85/05
NTIS Number: PB85-916206
About 12:20 p.m. on March 13, 1985, an Ashe County School District schoolbus driven by a 17-year-old student driver and carrying 22 students, ages 16 and 17, was traveling up an 8-percent grade on eastbound State Route 88 near Jefferson, North Carolina, when it went off the right edge of the road in a left curve and crossed the grassy shoulder. The 1980 schoolbus then rolled one revolution to the right and down a steep embankment and came to rest upright 24 feet below the road surface against two trees. There was no fuel leakage or fire. It was daylight the weather was clear, and the two-lane roadway was dry. One student was seriously injured, one sustained moderate injuries, and the other 20 had minor injuries; the schoolbus driver was not injured. None of the bus occupants were ejected from the schoolbus.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the inattention of the 17 year-old student schoolbus driver to his driving task which resulted in the schoolbus leaving the road, loss of control, and a subsequent overturn of the schoolbus. Contributing to the accident was the distraction of the driver by the unruly behavior of the student passengers. Contributing to the severity of the accident was the lack of a guardrail to redirect errant vehicles away from the steep embankment.
As a result of its investigation of the accident, the National Transportation Safety Board issued the following recommendations:
--to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration:
Encourage school jurisdictions in all States to emphasize the portions of the Highway Safety Program Standard (HSPS) 17, "Pupil Transportation Safety,," and the program manual for HSPS 17 addressing the handling of student behavioral problems in training courses for schoolbus drivers and in instruction given students in the rules for bus riders, enforcement actions to be taken for rule violations, and the need for students to practice good behavior at all times while riding on a schoolbus. (Class II, Priority Action) (H-85-53)
--to the Ashe County School District:
Comply with the Federal guidelines in Highway Safety Program Standard 179' "Pupil Transportation Safety which suggests that "one emergency evacuation drill should be held during the first week of school each semester" and that "at least twice during each school year, each pupil who is transported in a school vehicle shall be instructed in safe riding practices-" (Class II, Priority Action) (H-85-54)
Develop a program to follow up on reports of monthly schoolbus inspections in which missing or damaged safety equipment is noted, and assign specific responsibility for the replacement and repair of such Items and for the correction of other noted safety hazards. (Class II, Priority Action) (H-85-55)
--to the State Directors of Pupil Transportation of Alabama, North. Carolina and South Carolina:
Discontinue the practice of hiring 16- and 17-y -old schoolbus drivers. (Class 11, Priority Action) (H-85-56)
--to the State Director of Pupil Transportation of North Carolina:
As an interim measure take steps to correct, passenger discipline problems being encountered by current schoolbus drivers under 18 years of age. (Class Up Priority Action) (H-85-57)
Ensure that local school districts In the State of North Carolina comply with the Federal guidelines in Highway Safety Program Standard 17, "Pupil Transportation Safety," which suggests that "one emergency evacuation drill should be held during the first week of school each semester" and that "at least twice during each school year, each pupil who is transported in a school vehicle shall be instructed in safe riding practices." (Class II, Priority Action) (H-85-58)
--to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
Install a guardrail on North Carolina State Route 88 from 0.35 to 0.65 mile west of Jefferson, North Carolina, where warranted, based on the fill height and embankment slope which meet the criteria in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' "Guide for Selecting, Locating, and Designing Traffic Barriers." (Class II, Priority Action) (H-85-59)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Mitchell elementary school administration headed by the principal on the whole lack compassion, patience, reasonable discernment and sound judgment when dealing with dynamic and complicated parenting issues that expanded beyond parents' home to school, law enforcement, and other related organizations and programs. They show suspicious bias against a certain party and take on things personally. Their cold and bluntly rude and compassionless demeanors makes their education model like training young students into rule machines. Yikes!
We have found Mitchell to be an excellent school. The Principal has a background in Social Justice and her leadership style is collaborative and accountable. Mitchell has a very active and inclusive PTA and the school is very unique in the variety of events including Math and Science night, Science and Social Studies Night, the Mitchell Miler, MultiCultural Night, SHINE Talent Show, and the Day of Giving Back. The teachers are great and have been very engaged with the unique learning needs of our kids. The school is very community focused and we have seen the Mayor of Golden at multiple school events each year. Enrichment activities ranging from running club to the garden club as well as the parent driven in-classroom environmental education program (ELF) really make the school top notch. We did our homework before enrolling our kids and confirmed that Mitchell is the BEST elementary school around!
We moved to Golden middle of the school year and my daughter had to jump from preschool to kindergarten. In three short months I have seen her love of learning blossom. She barely read and wrote before Mitchell. She now reads everything, won't stop writing and is always up for math problems. Mrs. Middleton is really supportive and gave her all the help she needed.
The school principal insulted me and directly diminished my credibility because I am not white. The principal accused me of aggression and called the police when I came to pick up my sons from school. My children are in this school because my x-husband refuses to change schools. The school tries so hard to put my sons special education classes because they happen to speak Arabic at home. the principal refuses to speak to me regarding my sons.
I loved this school! I went here for seven years and it totally prepared me for was coming next! I loved all the principals and they were great!
Don't think you are going to receive anything other than average instruction here. Parent support is excellent but academic leadership is lacking. Communication between parents and teachers is abysmal. Don't expect quality education here.
Very bad experience - I advise you research the teachers' credentials, the school's policies, the true academic numbers for the school and make sure you are present at the school as much as possible and *KNOW* the classroom instruction, the classroom rules, and the teacher's knowledge and involvement on what is happening in their classroom. We were at Mitchell for one year, the 2011-2012 school year and will *happily and thankfully* paying the $8000/year tuition to send our child back to the private school she came from for the 2012-2013 school year. Academically is school leaves a lot to be desired - many other issues are at this school as well - just be present at random times at the school and know what is going on with your child and their classroom.
I am impressed with how fast my daughter has caught on to reading. Her teacher is very nice. I do get frustrated at times because I feel as though the class is all over the place. The instructions are not very clear and a lot of times we find out class events at the last minute. Also, the secretaries are always crabby, even to the parents! This is our 1st year here, so I am hoping next year will be a bit better.
Great school! I have been looking for a school for my daughter and have observed in several classrooms and grade levels multiple times. The teachers are well prepared, direct, and have high expectations for their students. There are many para-educators who work with students individually and in small groups on math and literacy skills as well as the Lexia program. The school creates a culture of inclusion for all students reagardless of ability, gender, or race. **PS. to the posting about lice: Lice is not an academic problem and can come from neighborhood kids as well as children at school**
Teachers do not care too much if kids are respectful or disrespectful Pushing, cutting in line, learning to be rude and disrespectful towards other students is what kids learn in this school. Well behaved kids have a hard time in this school because there is no control to reward good behavior and teach good behavior to those kids that unfortunately are aggressors from the day 1. I'm in the process of looking for another school.
Mitchell Elementary is a great school! I have had three children attend there and am pleased with the teachers, facilities, and curriculum.The best part of Mitchell is its principal, Mr. Summeril, who assures that all students have a good experience at Mitchell. Although it varies from teacher to teacher, the homework and academic pressure to perform seem to be balanced. Not overwhelming amounts of homework but good effort to keep students challenged and moving upward in their academic achievements.
My children have attended Mitchell since 2003 and we are very pleased. Faculty and staff are easy to work with and pleasant, and all are committed to our children's success. Mitchell was recently recognized by the National PTA as a Parent Involvement School of Excellence. The school provides numerous after school activities for enrichment, in addition to event/activites such as ELF, Family Math and Science Night, and Reflections to name a few. My children are in the Gifted and Talented program and I choose to continue to sent my children to Mitchell because it has everything we need and want to help them become successful in academics and life.
I have had my children enrolled at Mitchell Elementary for over 16 years and things have improved greatly in the last few years. The principal is very open to communication not only with parents but with students also. Inclusion for special needs kids is not approached as a hassle and all kids are appreciated at this school. The teachers continue to improve every year.
I transferred both my 1st and 2nd graders last year from a private school and they loved it! The teachers track student's progress very closely, and when my 1st grader fell behind in reading, she was immediately given the help she needed with a reading specialist and was back on track by the end of the year. My 2nd grader is ahead in most areas and her teacher worked hard to keep her challenged and focused all year. The teachers love the principal here. He was new to the school about 3 years ago and has changed and impoved the school in many ways. I checked the school out for kindergarten many years ago and was not impressed, but the new principal has done wonders. Parent involvement is fantastic and the PTA very involved. Three cheers for a new and improved Mitchell Elementary!
There is a conspicuously low amount of homework assigned. The stress at this school seems to be the overall experience. Nothing is outstanding. . . academics, sports, extracurricular activities. Teachers and Principal are very nice, but is that enough? Parent involvement is very low.
The principal doen't seem to be very concerned about the academic progress of the students as long as they keep moving the kids along through the grades there seems to be no concern.
I have been very pleased with Mithell and how they treat their students. The principle extremely fair with the students and treats each one as an individual.

WASHINGTON - Defenseman Mike Green has no doubts that he can again produce the offensive numbers that made him one of the NHL's most gifted blueliners from 2008 to 2010.
The Washington Capitals also are banking on the two-time Norris Trophy finalist returning to his old form.
Green and the Caps agreed Monday on a three-year, $18.25 million deal that will keep the restricted free agent in Washington through the 2014-2015 season.
"I think they know what I'm capable of," Green said in a conference call Monday.
"I think, as happy as I am, that they're happy and they know that I'm committed to the hockey team and doing the right things to be the best that I can. It's win-win for everybody."
Green led all NHL defensemen in scoring in the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons, but injuries have limited the Calgary native to just 81 games combined in the two years since. The 26-year-old has battled head, shoulder and groin injuries and underwent sports hernia surgery last season.
"It was unfortunate the last couple years that I've suffered from injuries," he said.
"But I believe that I'm over them now. I think I got them all out of my system."
Along with the injuries, Green saw his offensive numbers fall drastically. After averaging 1.04 points-per-game from 2008-10, Green averaged just 0.38 PPG the past two years.
But the only active defensemen with multiple 70-point seasons didn't hesitate when asked if he could still produce 70 points in a season.
"A hundred percent and it'll be next year," he said. "There's no question about it. I feel like I'm just getting into my prime."
Earlier in the day, Capitals general manager George McPhee expressed similar optimism in a team-issued release.
"Mike is one of the best young defensemen in the National Hockey League and is just entering his prime. He will continue to be a key part of our team moving forward," McPhee said.
Under new head coach Adam Oates, and with former Caps defenseman Dennis Wideman having signed in Calgary, it's very possible that Green will in fact have ample opportunity to regain his scoring touch.
"I'm excited that Adam is here, actually really excited. From what I've heard and how he likes to coach fits my style of play and also a lot of the other guys. Hopefully there's a balance between [former coaches] Bruce Boudreau and Dale [Hunter]. I think Adam's the guy."
Green, who made $5 million last season, will make $6 million in each of the next two seasons and $6.25 million in the third and final year of his new deal.
Green also acknowledged that he originally sought a two-year deal - which would have offered him a shot at unrestricted free agency at age 28 - but that the Capitals offered him an extra year.
"I want to make sure that I'm healthy and in [a] good state to play in Washington. It's a very energetic team and whatnot. And I wanted to see if they wanted me there still and they did, which was very nice and very comforting."

There are more than 50 types of transmission lines in use, with even more in the R&D stage. The goals are reductions in line loss and line faults and greater overall grid reliability and efficiency. An increasing number of transmission line applications incorporate high-temperature superconducting technologies. New types of composite conductors are being developed to retain their strength and be more resistant to degradation at high temperatures. What's more, this sector is seeing some exciting new wide-area management systems (WAMS) and other applications built on top of data from synchrophasors. Some are even proposing an "air traffic control system" for the national grid. Keep up to date with changing transmission technologies by scrolling down.
