Step 1: What you'll need
You'll also need a cell phone that takes a battery of 3-3.7 volts.
Step 2: The Battery Case
Use the needle nosed pliers to hold the wires while you strip a small amount of the jacket off of the wire. Then solder the wire onto each of the contacts on the case.
Step 3: Find the polarity of the battery and test your phone.
Step 4: Test It
Step 5: Put it together
BE SURE TO GET THE POLARITY RIGHT, you may want to put some hot glue over the contacts to prevent shorting.
(note, if the phone works, but the batteries are hot, you need to add another set in parallel, i had to)
Step 6: Your done+ more pix
t could work.
@reddog92396 - If you make another set of 2 batteries, wired exactly like the first set of 2, then wire those 2 sets in parallel, rather than series, you will retain the same ~3V, but double your amperage. But, that may not solve your problem (read on)
While i have no intention of offending or disparaging the author, the following should address many of the issues other people seem to be having, as well as a glaring failure on the author's part to include obligatory and necessary information:
It's very important to accurately provide the needed voltage, which is usually NOT going to be a direct multiple of 1.5V. Additionally, you must provide the necessary amperage (somewhat blindly addressed by the author). Most cell phones will have the ability to handle slight over-voltages (note: i said: SLIGHT); they do this with resistors on the power inputs. These resistors can only handle small over-voltages, because they are SMD (physically small, thus, electrical capacity is small). You'll need to stack your batteries (AA, AAA, C, D, whatever) in such a way as to provide a voltage slightly over the listed battery voltage, then use a resistor to drop it back down to the exact required voltage. This assumes you are using alkaline batteries... Rechargeable batteries behave a little differently as they discharge, and rarely get above their listed voltage, thus, a slight difference in voltage will likely not create a problem. i'm not going to give you the values for the resistors, because there are already online tools for that, and there's no way i'd be able to provide the exact values for every single cell phone and battery combination. For those that are having amperage issues (it turns on, but you can't call): add more batteries in parallel, NOT series. This will boost your available power without changing your voltage.
In any case, as a permanent solution it's kind of ridiculous to be carrying around a phone 3 times as thick as it normally is. You're better off just buying a new aftermarket battery.
You can find more info on how cellphones communicate at http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cell-phone1.htm , it's nicely written and displayed.

Today, Independence Day, is steeped in being dependent. It's hardly a contradiction of terms in light of the significant event that marks this day as historic.
On July 4, 1776, individuals from 13 struggling colonies came together as one delegation, acting as one people, declaring independence from one ruler. To understand the magnitude of this momentous event, we must remember that the declaration was both the throwing off of an oppressive ruler and the taking up of mutual dependence. Though we celebrate independence, it is always with the inescapable backdrop of shared dependence. Such dependence reverberates through the words "one people" found in the opening line of the Declaration of Independence.
Being dependent on one another sounds vulnerable, even weak, yet this one people idea gives our nation strength.
My father volunteered to support our nation's stance against the aggression of one country over another. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, fought side-by-side with his squad. He depended on them for his life and them on him. It was not until I returned home from my first deployment in the Middle East, supporting Enduring Freedom Operations, also as a U.S. Marine, that he tearfully told me of the Marines he fought alongside, the ones who did not come home. Regardless of the realities of war, I don't think a day went by that he did not think of them. Before my son, also a U.S. Marine, deployed in support of Iraq Freedom, he understood this life reality, being dependent on one another.
The Declaration phrase that receives the most attention – "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" – might have the unintended consequence of an individual focus. The pursuit of happiness at the expense of others and independent of mutual love, respect and honor cannot be the intent of our forefathers. Their closing words reflected dependence "with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." The opening sentence of the Declaration points to their aim and foundational beliefs, the closing sentence articulates their path forward.
My family depends on me. My church depends on me. My colleagues and the veteran students depend on me. The realization is, however, I depend on all of them to the fullest. Our work is eased, our laughter is rich, our pain is deep, so much fuller than a life divided, void of any overarching common bond. Today, a day clearly recognized and set aside to celebrate freedom and independence, is equally a great day to celebrate our dependence on one another. Let us celebrate by looking past that which divides in order to seek truth, seek what is self-evident, and seek what makes this nation one people.
Happy (in) Dependence Day!

The Scioto Foundation has announced a new scholarship fund established by the Scioto County Retired Teachers Association. Beginning in 2014, the new scholarship will be awarded to a graduating senior from a Scioto County high school who plans to major in education at an accredited college or university.
SCRTA will make annual scholarship selections. If the organization ceases to exist, the Scioto Foundation volunteer scholarship committee will make the selections.
Founded in 1959, the local Retired Teachers Association has awarded two scholarships each year to Scioto County students after awarding an initial scholarship in 1996. In all, the organization has given 33 scholarships totaling $19,000 through 2012.
"We decided to partner with the Scioto Foundation to build this new fund and work to make it self-sustaining," said Bill Webb, current president of the Scioto County Retired Teachers Association.
"We are so happy that the Scioto Foundation is available to invest the funds and see that this type of project continues," Webb said. "It is a plus to partner with the Foundation."
SCRTA conducts no fundraising activities, according to Webb. Funds for the scholarships come from members' donations and small bequests. Members and friends are encouraged to name the Scioto County Retired Teachers' Association Scholarship Fund as a favorite charity for memorials and special gifts
Now approximately 260 members strong, the organization conducts ongoing recruitment for retiring teachers to join. The group participates in other community projects such as filling Operation Christmas Child boxes and working with Habitat for Humanity. Last year SCRTA also made a donation to the Shawnee State Department of Teacher Education to assist students with costs associated with professional preparation programs.
Additional information about the Scioto County Retired Teachers' Association Scholarship Fund and other scholarships held by the Scioto Foundation may be obtained by contacting SF staff at (740) 354-4612 or visiting the Foundation's one-stop scholarship locator site online at www.ucanfindascholarship.org.

The International Primate Protection League in Summerville welcomed a new male otter on Monday as a companion to Bubbins, a female at the IPPL.
Bubbins' former partner Dua, a YouTube sensation for his piano playing, passed away in April after three years together. The new male otter Bali is a widower himself after his partner passed away in May.
Bali was born in Chessington, United Kingdom on Aug. 8, 2003. Since then he has made stops in Quebec, Manhattan and Columbus before settling in Summerville. After making the transfer, IPPL Founder and Executive Director Shirley McGreal discovered the IPPL already has a littermate of Bali's named Neville.
Asian short-clawed otters are monogamous creatures that form a close lifelong bond with their partner. The breed typically live to be an average of 11-years-old in captivity. Both Bubbins, 9, and Bali, 10, are considered seniors. The two have quickly taken to each other said McGreal.
"They have been spending all of their time together," she said. "(Bubbins) is beyond excited to have (Bali) here."

Box of Books for Francis?
Lisa Fullam October 1, 2013 - 12:59pm
Pope Francis has suggested that "we" need a deeper "theology of women," (itself a problematic phrase, emblematic of the usual us-them in which women are "them.") But he seems like a genuinely nice guy who's sincere about wanting to explore new territory. So, here's my idea...
Of course there are any number of books that could help Francis begin to sort out his ideas in this regard. Let's send him a starter set.
What are, say, 10 books that could help Francis in his revision of the Church with regard to women?
1. as any good feminist knows, a "theology of women," if it's adequate, is simultaneously a theology of men--men are damaged by patriarchy and sexism, too. So suggestions need not be books specifically about women or even by women, but should contribute importantly to Francis' task.
2. They need to be available in paperback. I'll spring for them and ship them, but I'm a theologian, not a venture capitalist--I can't sink my life savings (if I had any,) into this. But 10 books to send to Francis to help him think these things through? Sure. (Or perhaps Commonweal would like to underwrite? Or help underwrite? Just asking...)
3. Books can be singly authored or edited collections. For example, someone might recommend Catherine Mowry LaCugna's Freeing Theology. The Essentials of Theology in Feminist Perspective, or some such collection that covers a lot of ground in one volume and features some of the giants of feminist theology.
4. Francis said that the Church needs a more adequate theology of women, so we can safely assume that apologetics for the status quo aren't what he's looking for. Let's aim for faithful engagements with the tradition that break new ground. For example...
My vote is for Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza's But She Said, in which she takes feminist biblical hermeneutics for a spin, resulting in chapters that are scholarly and reflective. It's a classic, both challenging and exhilarating. I hope it'll encourage Francis to read the Bible in new ways. (Of course, like many of you, I can think of dozens of books that'd be great. But this is a good, basic place to start--reading scripture.)
1. Make your suggetions here, with a brief explanation why you suggest the book you name. One book at a time, please.
2. If you like someone's suggestion, second it. Lets play Facebook--write, e.g., "Schussler Fiorenza: Like." Also like Facebook, one cannot "unlike." Just vote for what's good, and we can trust that the dotCommonweal community will sort wheat from chaff.
3. In, say, 2 weeks time, I'll add up the results. If there's a hopeless deadlock, I'll turn to some other voting methodology for the final list. I'll order them and ship them with a letter of good wishes, explaining the origin of the list, and that it's intended to be representative, not determinative of the possibilities for his project, and reflects the discernment of a community, not any individual.
4. I have no actual clue who to send them to. Perhaps the papal secretary? Is there anyone out there who knows how to actually get them to the Pope? Please let me know, either here or off-line.
Ready? Go!
Commenting Guidelines
Good idea. I think just mailing the books to Francis with a cover letter should be enough. He's received personal letters from people and called them on the phone. Maybe you'll get a phone call from the Pope!
My suggestion on this feast of Doctor Therese of Lisieux? Her Letters:
(There are two volumes, but you said one book only, so I'm suggesting the first volume. He's probably read them both, since he's a devotee.)
Why that book? It shows how human Therese and her sisters were. They were real people, just like Jorge Bergoglio.
How about anything by Mary Hunt and her and her partner's WATER (Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual). While one may not agree with all her points of view, she is scholarly, well grounded, often humorous, and very human... give her a try, Pope Francis!
Send Pope Francis a copy of David Bakan's perceptive book about stereotypically masculine and feminine orientations: THE DUALITY OF HUMAN EXISTENCE: AN ESSAY ON PSYCHOLOGY AND RELIGION (Chicago: Rand McNally,1966).
David Bakan of the University of Chicago was Jewish.
Bakan identifies the stereotypically masculine orientation with agency.
He identifies the stereotypically feminine orientation with communion.
But the duality of these two tendencies in human existence requires each of us to work out a balance of the two within ourselves and our lives.
In other words, if we are exclusively oriented to agency, to the exclusion of communion, then we are out of balance.
Conversely, if we are exclusively oriented to communion, to the exclusion of agency, then we are out of balance.
In her research, Vicki S. Helgeson of Carnegie Mellon University has further explored Bakan's ideas about masculine and feminine orientations. She weaves reports of her own research into her 700-page textbook THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GENDER, 3rd edition (2009).
I imagine that you could buy a copy of Bakan's book from a used-book dealer on the Internet.
"Women and the Word: The Gender of God in the New Testament and the Spirituality of Women (Madeleva Lecture in Spirituality)" by NT scholar Sandra M. Schneiders .... http://www.amazon.com/Women-Word-Testament-Spirituality-Madeleva/dp/0809...
I think it would be instructive for any man, including the Pope, to read Nuala O'Faolain, Elizabeth Strout, or Alice McDermott. If it has to have religious overtones, I'd suggest Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale." Yeah, it's dated, but there's a woman writing about living in a male-dominated hierarchy where the only value a woman has is reproductive.
He did promise in the interview that Grant blogged on that he wanted the next interview to be on women.
Great idea. I have no particular suggestion for a book, because I don't read much academic heology, being more familiar with what I would call "kitchen" theology (aka - common sense theology) written by everyday types whose language is understandable to those of us who don't have degrees in theology! I am familiar with most of the names mentioned, but I generally have read summaries of their work rather than the original scholarship. But I would be happy to help pay postage (email me!)
Someone mentioned St. Therese of Lisieux - I believe that Francis is already a fan of her writings, and mentioned this in one of his recent interviews. A question - is Francis fluent in English? If not, should the books be only those that are available in Spanish or Italian or whatever other languages he speaks and reads fluently?
Some have mentioned that a theology of women should not be - that we are human beings just like men. But it is useful to have someone again point out that so much of what the church teaches reflects the views of patriarchy, rather than those of all humanity. Francis is off to a great start - now if he can just get past his madonna complex (shared by his predecessors) and see women as more than "just" childbearers and mothers some real progress might be possible. Hopefully you all can find some books to make him think and push him past the patriarchal church's attachment to mommy.
How about some books in Spanish or Italian?
To give him an example of an actual womann's mind in action, Flannery O'Connor's The Complete Short Stories would be a good start. While telling her stories she *shows* how one highly perceptive woman observes the world..
Even though she has a bit on motherhood, a bit of Julian is always a good thing: http://www.amazon.it/Libro-delle-rivelazioni-Giuliana-Norwich/dp/8876106162/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1380658658&sr=1-1
Maybe also Elizabeth Johnson's Colei che e: http://www.amazon.it/Colei-mistero-discorso-teologico-femminista/dp/8839...
Could we send him articles too? So much has been written recently that's not in book form ...
"Why Not? Scripture, History & Women's Ordination" by Robert Egan SJ ... https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/why-not-0
I didn't find the phrase "we" to be problematical at all. Instead I saw the connation as "we, the entire people of God."
For one practical suggestion worth implementing, I'd suggest "Women Deacons: Past, Present, Future" by Phyllis Zagano, Gary Macy, and William T. Ditewig
Something on the possibility of women Cardinals and greater female input into synods (eg the recent one on Sacred Scripture) would also suggest positive changes well within the purview of the Holy Father to make.
God Bless
Yes, I second the motion with Flannery O'Connor, particularly her letters, which don't pull punches.
I can't help noticing that over half the suggestions on this thread are coming from men, men who want to tell another man what to read so he can understand women better. Not that I'm a rank sexist or anything ...
How about a re-read of the Letter to the Romans. Still amazing the regard Paul has for all those women whom he refers to at the end of the chapter.
Greet Prisca and Aquila,* my co-workers in Christ Jesus,b4who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I am grateful but also all the churches of the Gentiles;5greet also the church at their house.* Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the firstfruits in Asia for Christ.c6Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you.7Greet Andronicus and Junia,* my relatives and my fellow prisoners; they are prominent among the apostles and they were in Christ before me.8Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.9Greet Urbanus, our co-worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.10Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus.11Greet my relative Herodion. Greet those in the Lord who belong to the family of Narcissus.12Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord.13Greet Rufus,* chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.d14Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.15Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the holy ones who are with them.
The pope mentioned in the interview with Scalfari how close Paul is to his soul. A quick and easy gift for women (and men) would be to restore to the epistles the greetings to and from women that do not appear in the new sacramentary.
(The efforts to erase women from the early church never cease.)
Two books that Francis has probably read give examples of that:
The Bone Gatherers: The Lost Worlds of Early Christian Women by Nicola Denzey. (There are men who still insist that the role of the women translators who worked with Jerome was minimal/negligible.)
Women Officeholders in Early Christianity: Epigraphical and Literary Studies by Ute Eisen.
What Gerelyn wrote.
And once and for all can we dispel the lies about Paul. He clearly writes that women are teachers and prophets. The contradiction in the same epistles are obvious interpolations.
Much as I like Julian and Theres, I think Francis is already familiar with their views. If we want him to see women's roles in the church in a new and more just way, we have to suggest works that reflect that.
"A Just and True Love: Feminism at the Frontiers of Theological Ethics: Essays in Honor of Margaret Farley"
On that "we" in the English translation of the Pope's interview in the section on women: The Italian does not use this pronoun. In one place it says "E necessario"--It's necessary; in another place it says "Bisogna," which has the same meaning. If people want to counterpose the "we" to "women," blame it, not on Pope Francis, but on the English translation. In my translation, given on another thread initiated by Lisa, I deliberately avoided using "we" precisely to prevent this misunderstanding.
Thanks, JK, for clarifying that point on translation. It does make a big difference
Not one book but selected articles of social anthropologist Mary Douglas would be enlightening, e.g., "The Bog Irish." and others comparing the worldviews of European and African women.
I would avoid the abstracts (the handmaid's tale is a good suggestion) and theological tomes. I do recommend my own brother's book The Book of the Poor by Kenan Heise, in which part one is simply poor people talking to him, and the second part some of the institutions, groups, and public & umbrella organizations which are trying to make a difference. I did send him a copy, but doubt that he got it because it is in English.
A book that would support Francis' whole approach to the future of the church would be Bernard Prusak's The Church Unfinished . And if he should find himself trying to work out a handy approach to J.P. II's legacy on the question of women's ordination, he might find Francis A. Sullivan's little book Creative Fidelity: Weighing and Interpreting Documents of the Magisterium very handy.
The late Fr. Louis Bouyer's "Woman In the Church" and "The Seat Of Wisdom" are classics well worth rediscovering.
All this time and nobody's mentioned Elizabeth Johnson's She Who Is? I know it's available in Spanish and I'm pretty sure it's available in Italian too.
Also, I second Farley's Just Love.
Not by a Catholic, but in many ways very Catholic, and one of the most important books to me personally, is Dorothee Soelle's The Strength of the Weak: Towards a Christian Feminist Identity. I have a feeling Francis would vibe with it.
I would like Francesco to learn more about Hildegard of Bingens. Here's a place to start:
I hope that Francis gets representative contemporary works from across ethnic and geographical lines, not just American and European women.
I'm not recommending anything because I think this should be the purview of the women here. It's their chance to put the best female feet forward.
I second the preceding recommendation.
Anything by Kathleen Norris.
"Like". I second the Elizabeth Johnson suggestion.
I nominate Michelle Gonzalez's Created In God's Image: An Introduction To Feminist Theological Anthropology and Anne Clifford's Introducing Feminist Theology, both published by Orbis Books.
I also second Elizabeth Johnson. I also recommend Edith Stein's "Woman" (Collected Works vol.2). And also Sr Joan Chittester. As already noted in previous comments, i'm much aware this is the American-European white female group. Authors from all continents needed.
The book I suggest is: "Taking up the Cross" New Testament Interpretations through Latina and Feminist Eyes. by Barbara E. Reid, O.P.
Thanks for the blurb on the David Baken book. I'll read it. Agency-Communion looks like an interesting filter to look at the Sacraments and the Bible.
Abe Books on the web sells scholarly and other hard to get books at deep discounts. No shipping fees. Abe is an independent filling in the gap left by the closing of so many retal independents.
Schussler Fiorenza: Like.
This is an excellent project. Obviously many of the commenters have done some srious thinking, guided by some excellent books. It would be good for Francis to hear from the commenters here.
Genesis I.
Written That You May Believe, Sandra Schneiders
No particular order:
The Glass Menagerie.
To Kill a Mockingbird.
The Age of Innocence.
Jane Eyre.
The Merchant of Venice.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
Absalom, Absalom.
A Town Like Alice.
This may not be in Italian or Spanish yet, but it stands out as a book directed at non-specialists which resists dumbing down without sacrificing lucidity. Its arguments hew closely to evidence from Scripture and from official Church documents. The author has paid her dues in the trenches of adult religious education for many years, making accessible to ordinary Christians the insights that a study of literary forms can provide in reading the Bible. In this book she questions the ostensible immutability of Church teachings on a number of subjects, including ordination of women and moral aspects of differences in sexual orientation. She also deals with some discrepancies between what is taught and what is done as regards, for instance, treatment of the non-ordained employed by Church organizations. The book is Why the Catholic Church Must Change: A Necessary Conversation, by Margaret Nutting Ralph.
(@ Jim McCrea: Taking seriously that first guideline about what "any good feminist knows," I can't agree with you that making suggestions here is exclusively women's work...)
Meant to mention that Ralph's book is only available in hardcover (and Kindle) so far. But it actually doesn't weigh any more than a typical trade softcover, so maybe it could still be considered despite guideline #2.
Suggest God Believes in Love: Straight Talk About Gay Marriage (2012), V. Gene Robinson
Marion Zimmer Bradley's Free Amazons of Darkover books.
I second Kathleen Norris; more specifically, The Cloister Walk. I will send a Spanish/Italian version--if there is one!!
I vote Alice von Hildebrand's The Privilege of Being a Woman. Does a good, pithy little job critiquing destructive secular versions of feminism, while highlighting the beauty of the Christian treatment of women. Also, it's short and cheap.
I would suggest "The Theology of the Body" by Pope John Paul II, 1997, which is about a theology of humanity, both men and women, and where he can find jewels like this one:
"Corporality and sexuality are not completely identified. Although the human body, in its normal constitution, bears within it the signs of sex and is, by it's nature, male or female, the fact, however, that man is a "body" belongs to the structure of the personal subject more deeply than the fact that he is in his somatic constitution also male or female. Therefore, the meaning of original solitude, which can be referred simply to "man," is substantially prior to the meaning of original unity. The latter, in fact, is based on masculinity and femininity, as if on two different "incarnations," that is, on two ways of "being a body" of tha same human being, created "in the image of God" (Genesis 1:27). — John Paul II, The Original Unity of Man and Woman, General Audience, 7 November 1979
I am sure he will get the point that we are human first , and only then male or female, and some male and female roles are different, but in God's mission what matters is that we are baptized persons, not baptized males versus baptized females.
In Christ,
I will chip in for shipping and handling. if I come across any good read I'll advise. God bless us all!!

Two Aiken men have been detained for a Tuesday morning armed robbery at a business on Richland Avenue, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Carlos Demetrius Williams, 21, and Jamaques Deundray Salley, 23, were arrested just before 7 p.m. on Tuesday and placed in the Aiken County detention center, according to Lt. Karl Odenthal.
About 10:40 a.m. on Tuesday, two men wearing dark clothing and hooded sweatshirts, and armed with handguns entered the Quick Cash store on Richland Avenue, Odenthal said. After receiving an unknown amount of cash, the men fled in an unknown direction.
A female employee appeared to be the only person in the store when the robbery happened, Odenthal said. She was transported to a hospital as a precaution.
An employee at a nearby business called dispatch at 10:41 a.m. to report two suspicious people outside, Odenthal said. They were reportedly dropped off by a driver in a silver Dodge pickup.
"She's watching them as she's talking, and while she's starting to put out the call to dispatch at 10:41, she said they just walked into the Quick Cash place," Odenthal said. "And then we get the 911 call saying there was an armed robbery."
The scene was cleared by 11:30 a.m., and investigators worked around a building across the street to obtain footprints from the suspects, Odenthal said.
Another witness near the check-cashing business also saw the two suspects, Odenthal said. Investigators are trying to obtain surveillance footage of the incident.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional arrests may be made, Odenthal said.
Anyone with any further information related to this incident is asked to contact CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at 888-CRIME-SC (888-274-6372). Callers will remain anonymous and could be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Third Walk with a Soldier march set for May 17Written by Dave Willinger | | firstname.lastname@example.com
It is a simple idea really. Spend a couple of hours connecting with former or active-duty military and do so while engaging in an age-old soldiering activity. Whether you call it hiking, marching or humping, it's something anyone who has served in the Armed Forces can identify with.
Walk with a Soldier is an area fundraiser for the national nonprofit Wounded Warrior project. The march is the brainchild of Sgt. Timothy Bellville, a former U.S. Marine and Army veteran who served overseas in the Mediterranean, Iraq and most recently Afghanistan. Bellville said the walk is just his way of giving back a little to all brothers in arms, just a way to "say thank you and welcome home."
The fundraiser, in its third year, is intended "for everybody to come together," Bellville said. It is not a competitive race, although some participants in previous years, including Bellville's own children, have enjoyed racing the distance, he said. Instead, he conceived of the walk as a way for walkers to come out and have camaraderie with veterans.
Bellville said he was "flabbergasted" when the inaugural Walk with a Soldier in 2012 raised more than $10,000 for the Wounded Warrior Project. All proceeds go to that nationwide charity, which operates combat stress recovery programs and assists veterans who need physical rehabilitation, according to WoundedWarriorProject.org
Bellville said Huntington Bank helped him set up the necessary business accounts, where he keeps only the minimum balance required year-to-year to keep the accounts open. He would prefer all donations be made online directly to Wounded Warrior but does not want to limit the scope of the fundraiser by refusing any pledges. He emphasized he is not paid for his time or efforts organizing the fundraiser.
"I want no money," Bellville told Toledo Free Press.
He does hope to raise as much as $25,000 from this year's event, including matching funds from area corporations.
Bellville originally wanted to call his event Walk with a Warrior, but that name was already taken. So he hit upon soldier as an all-encompassing term, Bellville said.
"We welcome all units, first responders, all military personnel," Bellville said.
The event will step off at Ft. Meigs in Perrysburg at 9 a.m. May 17, with registration starting at 8 a.m. The route includes slight elevations as it winds its way from the 200-year-old fort down to and across the Maumee River, through a residential Maumee neighborhood and along the river toward Sidecut Park and back again. The entire distance is just over nine miles, but there are posted turnaround points for those preferring to walk shorter distances of two or five miles.
Maumee administrator John Jesack said the city granted Bellville's group a permit for the walk and routinely advise municipal police and fire departments of permitted events. However, since participants are walking on sidewalks, Jesack said there will likely not be a dedicated police presence. Instead, event organizers typically provide their own volunteers to serve as crossing guards as needed.
The course will be clearly marked by thousands of small American flags, donated by the Toledo Memorial Society, Bellville said. The fact that every flag was used to mark the graves of veterans is, in Bellville's words, "absolutely 100 percent appropriate."
Walk organizers provide participants with fruit at the starting line, while rest and water stations are set up along the route. Should anyone not feel up to completing their chosen distance, Bellville said they can feel free to turn around at any point to head back. There will also be vehicles available for anyone who needs a lift back to Ft. Meigs. Volunteer nurses will also be on hand.
The fundraiser is "meant to be a physical challenge, but also the opportunity to take a long walk with a member of the military and talk to them," Bellville said. The distance walked doesn't matter as much as "the fact that they came out, raised pledges and took part in what we believe in," he said.
As in the past two years, many veterans and first responders are expected to participate.
Bellville, who works for the City of Toledo in the Water Department, currently serves with the 1484th Transportation Company of the Ohio Army National Guard based in North Canton. He wears the combat patch on his fatigues but plays down his own service, despite his multiple deployments. Most recently Bellville returned from a tour in Afghanistan. His current duties as a senior NCO require about one week per month, Bellville said. The City of Toledo and every administration has been completely supportive of the demands of his military service, he said.
Bellville originally had the idea for the fundraiser after returning home from a deployment in Iraq with the 1483rd Transportation Company of Walbridge. They had suffered "mission casualties," Bellville said, although not to their unit.
"I felt like I didn't do my full measure. I felt like I needed to do more," he said. "I got this going and I am committed to it."
Bellville's sister organized last year's walk on his behalf while he was deployed.
Participants receive a Walk with a Soldier T-shirt and giveaways. He also expects to bestow a donated gift on the person with the most pledges. To donate, go to WoundedWarriorProject.org and click on Proud Supporter Event and search for Memorial Walk with a Soldier III.
Bellville is hoping for 500 participants in this year's event. To learn how you can help, email email@example.com.

Everlast Advanced Training Grappling Gloves
Needed some gloves for the Swick seminar. Much like my choice of MA, I decided to go with what was cheap and widely available. That turned out to be the pair of Everlast grappling gloves I found (new) at Play it Again sports for 24.99.
At first I was a bit concerned because they, apparently, only came in 2 sizes. Sm/M and L/XL. The big ones were definitely too big, but the small ones seemed a bit tight. I figured they would stretch to fit, relax and mold to my hand, however, which they did.
I used them the whole seminar, and they were comfortable, protected my hands and were easy to use. I am very happy with my purchase. The only major drawback I could find was that they didn't offer much in the way of wrist support. I cannot speak to their durablilty, however, since I only have used them the one time, so far.

Everlast just sucks. I tried those wierd gel mma style padded gloves they sell, & they fell apart after 2 uses. Complete crap. My everlast heavy bag top zipper fucked up shortly after I got it. Now it's held together by a crapload of ductape. Thats the problem w/ everlast gear it's everywhere and it's cheap and it really sucks. I don't know if I could afford to order a decent heavybag and pay for the shipping too. I figure i'll just buy a new one every six months or so.
Fixed that the ratings weren't showing up.

Not to worry, I'm sure they'll disappoint you in no time by falling apart.

I'm also interested in how long they hold up. There's a seventy pound leather Everlast heavybag hanging in my dojo that I bought used in 1979 or 80. Still going strong. Every Everlast product I've purchased in the past few years however have been complete crap. It would be great if they went back to their roots but quite frankly they've done so much damage to their reputation it hardly seems to matter anymore.
Style: FMA--
Tired the same duct tape remedy on my gel bag glove thingies. It didn't work of course.
On a positive Everlast note. I have the same leather everlast shiity ol' elastic-wirst-band bag gloves I got 4 years ago and they're holding up fine.
Style: FMA--
I don't think this is too off topic. Anyone know of any bag gloves that give that empty hand feel? Thats why I bought the everlast gel bag gloves, the guy at the store recommended them when I was looking for real bag gloves-that was all they carried. The gel-bag gloves suck terribly for any one who isn't punching silk pillows. Seriously they were f*ed up after one use and only got worse. I wish I had saved my reciept.

On Oct. 26 and 27 National Geographic Kids magazine made an attempt to break two Guinness World Records titles.
Fall Creek Elementary first grader Gabrielle Nelson was one of 3,600 children, ages five to 12, who ran over a mile to help the magazine work towards its goal.
This event was part of the National Geographic Kids Run for the Planet event that partnered with the Marine Corps Marathon Healthy Kids Fun Run at the Pentagon on Oct. 27.
The record National Geographic Kids set out to break was the most people to run 100 meters in 24 hours. The magazine also set out to break the record of the longest chain of shoes by asking that all participants send in their athletic shoes to be tied together for measurement and then recycled into athletic surfaces such as basketball courts and running tracks.
National Geographic Kids already holds five Guiness World Records titles in "longest line of footprints," "largest collection of plush toys," "longest chain of shoes," "most items of clothing collected for recycling" and "most people doing jumpin jacks in 24 hours.:

MARIA BIBLE, Chief Financial Officer
As Chief Financial Officer of Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc., Maria drives efficiency improvements across several areas, including systems and the accurate and timely reporting of historical financial information. She also oversees the company's capital structure and determines the best mix of debt, equity, and internal financings.
Show More
- Promoted to the position of Chief Financial Officer at Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. in September 2012, following six successful years as the company's controller.
- Implemented an internal control system, added automation for incoming payments and transactions, and streamlined information processing.
Maria's previous experience includes working as a Financial Operations Principal for Capital Financial Group's $45-million-dollar broker-dealer H. Beck, Inc. In this role, she was responsible for coordinating financial reporting to the executive team, as well as the timely filing of required reports with the SEC. She also coordinated the company's periodic regulatory and annual financial statement audits.
She gained additional experience in mutual funds, contracts, and accounting while serving in various roles at the State of Maryland's Office of Legislative Audits, Alex Brown (later purchased by Deutsche Bank), and Chevy Chase Bank.
Maria received a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Maryland, College Park. She earned her Certified Professional Accountant (CPA) credential in 2006, and is a member of the Maryland Association of CPAs.
Notable and Quotable:
Maria's position is a challenging one in that while the company is a wholly owned entity, its German-based parent company, Nemetschek AG, is publicly traded. However, Maria uses her institutional knowledge as an asset in achieving the company's financial goals while developing her department's technical accounting skills.
As Nemetschek Vectorworks' sales grow and become increasingly complex, Maria works to ensure that the accounting department keeps up with existing and emerging demands while striving to increase the efficiency of all accounting transactions. She's also intensely deadline-driven, and she directs her team to follow a strict schedule to meet all internal and external reporting requirements.
While financials may seem straightforward with the fundamental theory that debits must always equal credits, gray areas continually emerge that make the field exciting. For example, during her tenure at Nemetschek Vectorworks, Maria has faced exciting challenges, including making changes in accounting for sales versus revenues when the company introduced its software subscription program. She is always eager to evolve her skills and those of her team to meet such demands.
Personal Interests:
When not in the office, Maria likes to spend time with her husband and two young children.
She also enjoys rock climbing, SCUBA diving, and skiing, as well as archeology and traveling. Among her travels, she has skied Mont Blanc, dove in Puerto Rico, and hiked part of the Inca Trail in Peru.

I often talk about Blue Jays and how I like them. There are many people that can't stand Blue Jays and I can understand that. They are big, loud, and can be rather intimidating. I still think that they are a beautiful bird with a bad rap, and deserve another look. Although I like the Jays, they often show up at my feeder when I'm trying to photograph my "real" favorite bird, the Cardinal.
The Kane Wolves improved to 11-0 but more importantly earned a spot in next weekend's District 9 AA finals with a hard fought 26-12 win over Brookville on Friday. Playing on a sloppy field at Kane's Paul R Miller Stadium, the Wolves put together a workman like effort to defeat the Raiders, who entered the game with a 6-4 record.
The Wolves' defense started out hot, forcing the Raiders to punt after three plays, including a tackle for a loss on second down by Evan DeLong on District 9's second leading rusher Zach Vroman.
The 10-0 Kane Wolves host the 6-4 Brookville Raiders on Friday night in a District 9 AA semifinal game. The records mean little, however, as the two teams have no common opponents in 2013. The winner of the game advances to next week's district finals, while the loser's season comes to a close.
QUEHANNA – Standing in the parking lot at the Pennsylvania Game Commission's elk check station in Quehanna on Monday afternoon, the words on Muncy resident Jeff Trought's Duck Dynasty-themed T-shirt perfectly described how he was feeling: "Happy, happy, happy."
Hunting in Elk Hunt Zone 4, the majority of which is located in Cameron County, and guided by Cody Ball of Hicks Run Outfitters, Trought had harvested an impressive looking 8x8 bull elk earlier that morning.
QUEHANNA – The 86 individuals drawn for elk licenses in this year's drawing represented only a small fraction of the 22,331 hunters who applied. Additionally, many of those individuals had been applying for years and had accrued a number of preference points, resulting in 116,734 entries being in this year's drawing.
Given those numbers the odds of a first-time applicant being selected, much less for one of the 26 available bull tags, seemed to be slim, but that is exactly what happened for Catawissa resident William Gifford.
HERSHEY – Amidst abundant sunshine and beautiful weather in southwest Pennsylvania, the Kane Wolves cross country team finished 14th at this weekend's PIAA cross country championships in Hershey.
QUEHANNA – When Randy Caldwell's friends first called him to tell him he had been drawn for a bull elk license in this year's weeklong elk hunt he thought they were playing a practical joke on him.
The Export native recalled that he was in disbelief at first after friends told him they saw in the paper that his name had been drawn.
DuBOIS—DuBois Lanes hosted the second District 4 youth gold pin tournament Sunday afternoon with Cyclone's Wayne Putnam claiming the title.
Twenty-two bowlers bowled a three-game qualifying round with the top five bowlers matching up in the step ladder finals.
QUEHANNA – Jim Scharnitz of Northampton got to have the experience of a lifetime on Monday morning as he successfully harvested a 7x6 bull elk while hunting with his father and guides from Elk County Outfitters.
QUEHANNA – As of just after 3 p.m. on Monday afternoon a total of 17 elk had been brought to the Pennsylvania Game Commission's elk check station in Quehanna. The animals were all harvested on the opening day of this year's elk hunt and consisted of seven bulls and 10 cows. The 17 tags were among 86 awarded to hunters this year, with 26 tags being drawn for antlered elk and 60 for antlerless.

Q:I'm a HUGE lush fanatic and I'm wanting to switch from standard makeup to lush for the better ingredients. I'm guessing that like other lush products, the makeup has an expiration date. How long do the lipsticks (and other products for that matter) last? Thanks so much!Asked on 8/23/2014 by May
2 answers
A:The lipsticks and the rest of the make up has a fourteen month shelf life from the time it was made.Answered on 9/12/2014 by Anonymous
A:Hi, I ordered the lipstick in "Passionate," a vibrant deep pink with blue undertones (makes my teeth look whiter!), in
mid-May of 2014. The notation on the bottom of the small bottle said it was made by Caroline on 3/3/2014 and should be used by 3/5/2014, so the shelf life is approximately one year. I would not hesitate to purchase it or any of the other colors; you will enjoy them. You may decide not to toss all your collection of lippies in favor of these, but these will become some of your favorites, undoubtedly. Good luck!Answered on 8/23/2014 by Anonymous
I love that this is Vegan, but are your Vegan products also gluten free? Also, how are the use of the synthetic dyes considered safe? I know they are considered unsafe in our foods, so what is the difference in the makeup? I was looking for an organic line too, but I know it can't be with the dyes. Thank youAsked on 5/19/2014 by Amber from United States
2 answers
A:Not all of our vegan products are gluten free. We list all of our ingredients on our website and you can contact customer care for more detailed information. The dyes that we use are food grade dyes and are approved by the FDA.Answered on 9/12/2014 by Anonymous
A:These are the only makeup products I can wear! I'm allergic to the
expensive department store and the drug store types! When you eat synthetic
dyes it enters your blood stream directly with nutrients you consume after
digestive enzymes break down the materials you eat. This is why synthetic
dyes are unsafe to eat. But...when it's topical it's okay because a very
small amount actually would seap into your body...doesn't hit the blood
stream and circulate inside to your cells. So these products are safe and
great for sensitive skin....and not made violently towards animals. I'm a
wicked huge science nerd and work as a medical assistant. :) enjoy some

Europe is all a-flutter with the World Cup. Day in and day out, television sets, radios and computer screens everywhere are tuned in, news hours are devoted solely and completely to this grandest, loudest of all sports events. From the first coin toss and that first kick heard round the world, every European sits, watches, listens with bated breath, hands clasped, heart pounding. Prayers are interspersed with groans, grunts and choice expletives, the sweet taste of hope mingled with the jarring pungency of despair. Even Wimbledon, that most sacred and royal of tennis tournaments, has been forgotten, washed out, left in the dust of so many free kicks.
Of course we are speaking of the World Cup as in football. No, not American football, rather what Americans refer to as soccer. Now as my family and friends know, we are rugby people. Yes, we prefer rugby to soccer, the Gentlemen's Sport over the Street Sport. And who doesn't love watching those muscular men with the great thighs in skin-tight shorts and jerseys running around, clutching each other in wild embrace, hair swinging, weaving in and out as graceful as dancers with the final, beautiful dive chest first onto the green. Whew. Sorry, I sometimes get carried away.
So, where was I? Ah, the World Cup. This rare event has been punctuated by an even rarer event in our household, a visit from a friend who has come to stay. Clare and I sit side by side, day after day watching match after match, eating bowl after bowl of popcorn, sipping birch sap champagne (Sweden's finest!) and root…root…rooting for the home team.
She would root just like any man,
Told the (referee) he was wrong,
All along, good and strong.
When the score was just two to two,
Nelly Kelly knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew,
She made the gang sing this song.
"Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, (yellow cards and) you're out,
At the old ball game."
(slight changes Life's a Feast)
Truly caught up in the excitement of all of the drama, whipped up into a frenzy of patriotic fervor, Clare and I have spent every single day of her visit dashing between kitchen and living room, baking furiously and shouting at the players, shaking our fists, slapping hands to foreheads. But both she and I have one saving grace when it comes to the World Cup, our double lives: Clare is English and lives in Scandinavia while I am American living in France. We each have a choice of home teams, are swayed by such varied attachments that if one of our teams loses or gets sent home in disgrace we can simply switch our allegiance and still be loyal to a home team. The hullabaloo surrounding the French national football team has been making headlines and the repercussions of a continuous losing streak have been making waves throughout the country for so many years that supporting the Americans has been easy, especially after having watched how less thuggish the USA team has been playing in this World Cup, near perfect examples of sportsmanship and elegant football. Clare, on the other hand, has been vacillating between the English and any Scandinavian team who can gather together eleven blond men in shorts who can kick a ball. Watching England play has been a hair-pulling experience, yet they have indeed pulled through. We each heaved a huge sigh of relief as that first England-USA game ended in a draw, I can tell you that! No girl fighting necessary!
So while we are root…root…rooting for whichever home team feels the most like home (or has the better chance of winning) at the moment, we have been cooking and baking – poor Clare is suffering from food blog syndrome contagion: every waking moment is spent either at the market, the supermarket or in the kitchen cooking and baking when one is not sitting in front of a computer blogging said cooking and baking. In between the bouts of gorging on salty popcorn and nibbling on Swedish Dinkel crackers, we have been craving sweets. It started the day she arrived with a chocolate layer birthday cake (for son Clément) layered with whipped cream and raspberries and topped with chocolate buttercream, and was followed shortly after with luscious, amazing, perfect lemon ice cream (recipes will soon be revealed on Life's a Feast). And then that time of the month rolled around, the Daring Bakers' challenge, a multi-layered confection of chocolate, heavy cream, mascarpone and everything sweet.
The June 2010 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Dawn of Doable and Delicious. Dawn challenged the Daring Bakers' to make Chocolate Pavlovas and Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse. The challenge recipe is based on a recipe from the book Chocolate Epiphany by Francois Payard. I wanted to make a lighter flavored pavlova to offset the rich chocolate flavor of the mousse, so I chose a simple white pavlova in which I folded deep jade green pistachio nuts and added a dash of vanilla. I added cornstarch and vinegar to the meringue recipe as I usually do which gives the meringue a dry, crispy outer shell and a light, airy, marshmellow-like center. The pistachio meringue was perfect; just crispy on the outside without being crumbly or powdery, soft on the inside with the perfect marshmallow center, just chewy without being sticky and it truly melted on the tongue, leaving behind a wonderful delicate nutty taste. The chocolate mousse was creamy, smooth and very rich with an intense, not-too-sweet semisweet chocolate flavor. The Vanilla Sauce, made by folding crème anglaise, mascarpone and lightly whipped cream together, with a splash of nutty, warm Amaretto, was beautiful and the perfect balance with the chocolate mousse.
Thanks to Dawn, Lis and Ivonne for this wonderful event and delicious dessert!
PISTACHIO PAVLOVA with CHOCOLATE MASCARPONE MOUSSE
And a Crème Anglaise Vanilla Sauce
3 large egg whites
¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
3/4 tsp vinegar (I used cider vinegar though you can use white wine vinegar)
½ tsp vanilla
1 ¾ oz (50 g) shelled pistachio nuts
Grind the pistachio nuts finely but with some small chunks.
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line one large baking sheet with parchment or oven paper.
In a clean large bowl (I prefer plastic), beat the egg whites on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase mixer speed to high and continue beating until foamy. Gradually add the sugar to the whites as you continue to whip the whites until very stiff peaks hold and the meringue is glossy and moist.
Blend the cornstarch, the vinegar and the vanilla until the cornstarch is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Pour this liquid over the whites and fold together. Add all of the ground pistachios except two tablespoons and fold into the meringue.
To make one large pavlova, trace an 8- or 9-inch (20- to 22 ½ cm) circle onto the parchment and scrape all of the meringue out into the center of the drawn circle. Using the back of a spoon or a metal spatula gently spread the meringue out until you have an even disc. You can make a slight well in the center if you like. For individual pavlovas, draw six or eight 4-inch (10-cm) circles on the parchment and divide the meringue evenly among the circles then gently spread the meringue until even and level. Again, make a slight well in the center of each meringue to hold the mousse. Do not overwork the meringue or it may deflate. Bear in mind the pavlovas spread and puff up a bit so leave a couple of inches between each shell.
If you like, you can hold back some of the meringue and, using a pastry bag and a star tip, pipe stars out onto your lined baking sheet to serve as cookies alongside the mousse.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped or ground pistachios on the surface of the pavlovas.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and immediately turn the oven down to 250°F (120°C) and bake the pavlovas until the outside is dry and crisp. It should also be dry and crisp on the underside. Do not overcook if you want the pavlovas to be marshmallow-like on the inside as a pavlova should be! If the pavlovas begin to brown too quickly simply cover them loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil. Remove them from the oven to cool on cooling racks.
This is half of the recipe suggested by the Daring Bakers but I found it quite enough
¾ cup (190 ml) heavy cream, chilled
4 ½ oz (125 g) semisweet chocolate (Lindt 70%), chopped
6.6 fluid ounces (195 ml) mascarpone
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 Tbs Amaretto (can be replaced by 1 tsp vanilla)
Place ¼ cup (65 ml) of the heavy cream in a sauce over medium heat. When warm, add the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is just melted and smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. It will thicken slightly.
Place the mascarpone and the remaining cream in a large bowl. Add the nutmeg. Whip on low speed until the mascarpone is loose and smooth. Add the Amaretto and continue to beat on medium speed until it holds soft peaks. Do not overbeat or the mascarpone will break.
Mix about ¼ of the mascarpone mixture into the chocolate to lighten, then beat in the remainder until well incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge.
CRÈME ANGLAISE (for use in the Vanilla Sauce)
This is half the recipe suggested by the Daring Bakers, but again, I found it to be quite enough
½ cup (120 ml) whole milk
½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
½ Tsp vanilla extract
3 large egg yolks
3 Tbs (38 g) sugar
Whisk together the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until they turn pale yellow. Combine the milk, cream and vanilla in a saucepan over a medium high heat, bringing the mixture to the boil. Remove from the heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of the hot liquid into the yolk mixture in a slow stream, whisking constantly so that you do not end up with scrambled eggs.
Pour the yolk mixture back into the pan with the remaining cream mixture and put the heat back on low.* Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it is thick enough to lightly cover the back of the spoon. Do not overcook.
Remove the mixture from the heat and strain into a bowl through a fine mesh sieve. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, 2 hours or overnight.
* If the cream curdles – which may happen if the heat is too high and the cream gets too hot – simply remove the pan from the heat and whisk in a few tablespoons of cold heavy cream. Whisk for a few minutes until it smooths and thickens a bit and then push through the sieve. Chill in the refrigerator over night. It will be thick and smooth enough to use in the Vanilla Sauce.
VANILLA SAUCE (Mascarpone Cream)
Again, this is half the recipe suggested by the Daring Bakers.
1 recipe Crème Anglaise (above)
¼ cup (65 ml) mascarpone
1 Tbs Amaretto (or 1 tsp vanilla)
¼ cup (65 ml) heavy cream
Slowly whip the mascarpone and the Amaretto into the chilled Crème Anglaise until thick and creamy. Put the cream in a bowl (preferably chilled) and beat with an electric mixer until very soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

New USDA Report Adds Market Transparency for Grass Fed Beef Industry
Release No.: 148-13
Sam Jones-Ellard (202) 660-2268
WASHINGTON, Sept. 24, 2013 The U.S. Department of Agricultures (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) has announced a new Market News report that covers grass fed beef.
This monthly report will bring market clarity and exposure to assist the grass fed industry in marketing their products, said AMS Administrator Anne Alonzo. This report will fill a significant data gap for the industry and increase transparency in the marketplace for all participants.
For almost a century, USDA Market News has provided farmers, ranchers and businesses with the market and pricing information. Over the years, our reports have evolved to better meet the changing demands and needs of stakeholders who rely on our data to remain competitive. Earlier this year, USDA was asked by the industry to develop a report for grass fed beef to assist them with attracting more producers and farmers to grass fed beef production.
In addition to market commentary, the new report includes three sections: prices paid for live cattle, wholesale beef prices, and direct-market beef prices. In the future, USDA will continue to expand the report as the number of market reporting participants grows by including trade volume data, and adding graphs and other visuals to the report.
The first monthly report will be issued on Monday, September 23, 2013. In order for the report to be a reflection of current industry conditions, we would encourage stakeholders involved in grass fed beef production to supply information by contacting the Market News office at (515) 284-4460.

Cleveland Section Meeting
What to do when oil is not an option?
Tuesday, January 8, 2013
Dr. Robert Bruckner with NASA Glenn Research Center
Dr. Robert Bruckner will present a talk on the parasitic use of low kinematic viscosity process fluids as lubricants in situations where conventional oil may be a better choice. Aerospace systems are critically challenged with weight and volume constraints. Additionally, requirements such as long life, zero maintenance, and intolerance to contamination often lead the system designers to rely on process fluids to serve double-duty as the machine lubricant as well as to carry out the main function of the machine. Process fluids such as gases, supercritical substances, cryogens, liquid ammonia, water and glycol often see such applications. Dr. Bruckner will discuss the technical challenges of such lubrication scenarios from both a fundamental perspective as well as examples from aircraft gas turbine engine, Stirling heat engines and liquid ammonia circulators.
Dr. Robert Bruckner is an alumnus of Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute, Cleveland State University, and Case Western Reserve University. He has worked at the NASA Glenn Research Center for over 20 years and has experience ranging from aeropropulsion test engineering to failure investigations on in-space hardware. Dr. Bruckner's most current endeavor centers on the use of low kinematic viscosity process fluids for both hydrodynamic and hydrostatic bearing applications. He has conducted extensive modeling and experimental research on gas foil bearings for use in supercritical carbon dioxide machines, diagnosed spurious contact conditions in advanced Stirling converters, and identified initiating wear events for International Space Station active thermal management systems. Dr. Bruckner is the recipient of the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal and is an Associate Fellow of the American instititue of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
