This is in response to Nicholas D. Kristof's column ("Cleaning the henhouse," Friday)
Kristof's subject is the salmonella enteritidis outbreak on several Iowa egg farms. Let me state up front that I am deeply disappointed in this occurrence and, in the name of my industry, I apologize to the public for its happening.
For background, I am a fourth-generation farmer operating in Sonoma County and have been doing so all of my life — some 68 years. From the time I was a very small boy, I knew that I wanted to be a farmer, and I thank God that he has allowed me to do so.
I have several partners, and collectively we bring well over 350 years of experience to the table. We, and our families before us, have been producing eggs in Sonoma County on a continuous basis for more than 100 years without missing a day.
From practical experience, practical and applied science and hands-on application, you won't find a more well-versed group of individuals in the egg production business today.
In the first 50 years that we produced eggs, it was all done in a cage-free environment. Today, we have approximately 85 percent of our hens in a cage environment and the other 15 percent in a cage-free environment. We started going back to some cage-free production approximately seven years ago in response to consumer demand, starting with about 2 percent and getting up to 15 percent over a seven-year timeline.
For the last two years, cage-free demand has actually declined as a result of the current economy. People are looking to stretch their dollars as far as they can.
The risk of salmonella enteritidis came to my attention in the late 1980s. There were some reported illnesses in California, and as such I felt it was important that we address the situation and find a resolution to the problem.
With the help of fellow California egg producers and those in the public safety arena, a task force was formed, chaired by then-California Secretary of Agriculture Anne Venneman and myself. Through Venneman's efforts, we were able to incorporate for the first time in the history of the United States a "Farm to Table" food-safety program that brought together federal, state, county and municipal agencies that oversaw the safety of fresh eggs from the farm to the consumer. The name of the program is the California Egg Quality Assurance Program, and it is extremely comprehensive, even much more so than the program the U.S. Food and Drug Administration initiated on July 9. For the last ten years, there has not been a single reported case of salmonella enteritidis traced back to eggs in California, a fact of which I am extremely proud.
Remember also that during this time, 99 percent of all eggs have been been produced by hens housed in cages, a fact I believe dispels the theory that cage-free-produced eggs are safer than caged production.

Archive for the '1965 Singer Vogue' tag
Presenting the winner of the Muscle Car Interior Restoration Guide giveaway contest!
giveaway contest came in last week, and as in "good," I meant "crappy:" I wanted to see the absolute worst automotive interior requiring the absolute most amount of work, figuring that such an interior would rightfully deserve to win the extra copy I had of my recently released book, the Muscle Car Interior Restoration Guide, now available at your local bookstore or at CarTech Books.Many good entries for the Muscle Car Interior Restoration Guide
And, indeed, most of the entries I received weren't even interiors out of muscle cars – many of you read the fine print and noticed I opened the contest to owners of all classic and collector vehicles because much of the book applies to them as well. Without further ado, our two runners-up:
John Wright from down in Australia is currently in the midst of a restoration on his 1965 Singer Vogue, obviously suffering from split seats and faded carpeting. Other photos show that he's already removed the dashboard from the car and faces a wiring mess. I feel for ya, John, I really do, but…
… John Raymond also sent in pics of his 1979 Ford Thunderbird. This picture looks alright, but as well all know, photos can be deceiving, and other pics John sent show a big funky speaker cabinet that takes up the entire rear seat area, as well as cracked plastic throughout. John even earns brownie points for having listed his Thunderbird on My Hemmings, but neither John nor John can top our winner:
Fred Schlabach and Janet North, whose 1969 Triumph Spitfire's interior suffered dearly before they bought it last fall. In their words:
As you can see from the photos, the previous owners' dogs left their mark. The dash pad is cracked, seat covers and padding are trashed, carpet has rust marks in it from the standing water under the seats, wooden dash parts are delaminating. I am hoping to resurrect this great little car, but sure could use some guidance.
Heck, I'd have given it to them just for those awful AdvancePepZone seat covers! So congratulations, Fred and Janet; I'm popping your copy of the book in the mail as we speak. Good luck with that restoration, and send us some photos as the resto progresses.

Understanding Forest Bonds
Publication: Understanding Forest Bonds Report
Various estimates put the annual needs for tropical forest finance in the order of tens of billions of dollars by 2020. As part of its work on Proactive Investment in Natural Capital, GCP helped lead a collaborative initiative to better understand the potential use of bonds to fill that short-term gap in forest finance.
The first part of this initiative was Unlocking Forest Bonds, a high-level workshop on tropical forest finance held in London in February 2011. Bonds are a familiar financing mechanism in some sectors, such as health and energy, and are seeing increased use to finance mitigation of and adaptation to climate change. Bonds may be useful for financing forests too.
Unlocking Forest Bonds brought together a broad range of experts on tropical forest policy and finance to highlight the specific challenges of using a bond for the conservation and sustainable use of forests, and how those challenges may be overcome. The workshop was co-hosted by GCP, WWF's Forest and Climate Initiative and the Climate Bonds Initiative, and supported by Goldman Sachs and Fondation 1796 (Lombard Odier).
Building on outcomes from the workshop and further engagement with key experts, GCP also produced Understanding Forest Bonds. This paper provides a clear introduction to forest bonds and discusses some of the key policy and financing considerations in their use.

Realistic Stories Galore!
Reviewed: 08 September 2014 by Little Lady, a Straight Going Steady Female
I've never bought an erotic book before, although I have read erotic stories online before. So when LH sent me this to review I was rather excited, and I won't lie, I thought it would take me agggges to review this as I'm such a slow reader! However it didn't take me that long at all to read, which I was glad about.
This book is really good and I was surprised about the layout of the book and how real the stories were, all written by real people (mostly women).
Each story/chapter of this book is set out as the fantasy, the decision and the reality, and I won't lie, half the time the reality never lives up to the fantasy, which in my opinion is good, as let's face it, when our fantasies are acted out they're never as we expect and certainly don't work out the way we imagine nine times out of ten.
I loved how the stories in this book were all written out by normal people just like me and you, which makes it that little bit more real, instead of just some fantasy stories made up by a writer.
What was really good about this book is that I could sit and read it aloud with my OH and it did give us a few ideas of some fantasies we can re-enact and even got us talking about some sexual fantasies that we both have and would like to try out.
It has made me want to buy another erotic book in the future to read with my OH, as like I mentioned, it was enjoyable and something different!
I would definitely recommend this book to any individuals, or couples who are new to reading erotica and fancy giving it a go!
- Pros
- How it was all based on real stories and events.
- Cons
- That there weren't some stories tailored to my fantasies.
- Bottom line
- A great book to read for anyone wishing to start reading erotica.

Truth v Dare
Reviewed: 12 June 2013 by KinkyFuckery, a Straight Going Steady Female
Another great book from Tracey Cox.
Her latest book is a great insight to why we fantasise, what we dare to dream in our heads before acting it out in reality, what effect it has, and does fantasy really become reality?
This book has 30 short stories, my favourite being 'I've been having a hot affair for five years'.
Each story is written in 3 parts: ehe Fantasy, what we imagine it would be like to experience, is usually the perfect scenario; the Decision - where the story switches from fantasy to realit,y why the woman decided to act out the fantasy. and Reality, what actually happens.
What is different from all the other the erotic books out there since 50 Shades of Grey hit the bookshelves, this gives you a true insight of what real woman have experienced in real life but with the added fantasy if you like to live in the dream world too.
This book can be split in two levels of reading. You can have the naughty read by just reading the fantasy or you can have a little giggle be amused and also entertain by the decision and reality parts too.
Since 50 Shades people have been looking to explore their sexual desires and I have seen this alot on LH forum. 'How do you go about introducing your partner in to x y or z ?' has been a question that has been raised a lot and yet again Tracey Cox has provided a chapter or two to give you guidance on how to go about this with handy hints and tips in 'Head to bed: Fancy making your dream come true'. This is really handy for couples who don't know how to approach or bring up this subject that you would like to explore more in the bedroom.
This book could easily be read by both men and woman, to give an insight of what reality is really like and also it may help the men understand the fantasies us woman have.
Nice added touch in the book is Tracey Cox thanks Richard Longhurst and Neal Slateford who work at LH who produce her product range.
- Pros
- Easy to read and greater understanding of Fantasy v Reality.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Very good insight into fantasies with great couple advice.

What happens when fantasies come true?
Reviewed: 18 September 2014 by capricorn13, a Straight Married Female
In this book, bestselling author and sexpert Tracey Cox compiles the erotic fantasies of 30 real women and tells us what happened when they dared to turn their fantasy into reality.
The self contained stories range in length from just 4 pages to 16 pages but typically they are about 10 pages long; this makes the book perfect to pick up and put down when you have limited time. However, while the cover picture is tasteful the text makes it clear what the book contains so you may not want to read it on the bus to work. I read it while on holiday.
Each story is written in three parts: The Fantasy - the idealised scenario; The Decision - when the woman decides to act out the fantasy and The Reality - what actually happened.
Some of the fantasies are very detailed and quite "hot" while others are slightly more pedestrian. The decision section is generally the shortest, sometimes just a couple of paragraphs, and in some cases gives us an insight into why the particular woman decided to act out her dream while in others it tells us how she went about setting it up. A few of the reality stories are quite humorous, some poignant and some are just plain disastrous; few live up to the fantasy for either the protagonist or the reader.
Did I enjoy the book? Some of the individual fantasies just didn't do anything for me and as erotica and I found the woman's attitude in one of the realities rather distasteful, but there was plenty to hold my attention. I certainly found it interesting, especially the introduction and the final chapters, "Head to Bed" and "What does your fantasy say about you?"
I think the real weakness of this book is it is not totally sure of its target audience; is it a "raunchy read" or a more intellectual social study? On balance, I might have preferred the latter as there are better written, more entertaining erotic stories out there.
Although far from a representative cross section of society, I have to admire these women; they were first of all brave enough to reveal their secret desires, second take steps to make them real and third accept the consequences.
However, having read this book my fantasies will remain just that: an idealised version of me - younger, thinner, more athletic, more outgoing and more adventurous - playing out erotic scenarios in my head.
- Pros
- The variety of stories. That the stories were real.
- Cons
- I felt it fell between 2 genres
- Bottom line
- Not always erotic and not fiction, more thought provoking and interesting.

Shocking indeed, but can it really be a surprise? The local Planned Parenthood here in the USA has an outside "service" that picks up such remains, but then what? Parts to be burned, sold? Ghastly business. God have mercy on us.

Women's rights on full display in the birthplace of islam.
A woman has been arrested for breaking Saudi Arabia's ban on female drivers.
She was stopped by a police patrol after driving six miles to collect her husband near their home in the town of Buraida.
Story found in the Daily Mail.
As her 'legal guardian' he had to sign a declaration that he would not let his wife drive again.
It is not yet known if she has been released or if she faces legal action.
Saudi Arabia is the only country that forbids women from driving.
The ban is based on religious rulings from clerics who say it is un-Islamic.
Civil rights activists in the country have begun lobbying the government to lift the ban.
Her legal guardian had to sign a promise to not let her drive again. Wow. And muslim women actually want to live like this. Brings mental defective to a new level.

When Katy Mimari found herself pregnant and grappling with pastel overload, both her maternal and designer's instincts kicked in. Beginning with just a half dozen diaper bags, she challenged traditional kiddie aesthetics with playful Moroccan prints, vintage paisleys, and colorful damasks. Before long, Mimari expanded into full-fledged nursery decor, with crib sets, toddler bedding, throw pillows, and accent fabrics. Clever accessories, such as age-designated closet dividers and tutu-shaped clip and beret holders, also factor prominently in the Caden Lane mix.
They're not too little for the big designs of this nursery decor and babywear. Caden Lane has every newborn need covered with these brightly patterned crib sets, plush car-seat covers and hobo diaper bags. Crowns, guitars, birds and robots are the allover prints on these onesies, rompers, sleepers and blankets from Pitty Shants. Together, these two brands offer a baby-gift bonanza.
Liven up kids' rooms with bright, animated linens that are a far cry from cutsie. Choose from sheets in unisex prints like stripes and plaids. Or, go crib sets rendered in fun patterns like graphic automobiles and exotic damasks. Design-loving parents will go for the cushy throw pillows in a major way, plus the velvety coverlets offer extra warmth and a break from all of the vivid hues.
Disney-phobes need fear no longer — Caden Lane is here to make the nursery safe for design-loving parents everywhere. Super-soft fabrics with satin trim flaunt bold, unique prints in pinks, blues, and grays. This bedding is definitely fit for mini majesties!

It's not easy being green in Kansas City.
Some eco-trends have become socially acceptable — even applauded. For example, ditching your gas-guzzling clunker for something smaller and more fuel-efficient. Eating local, organic food. Swapping paper and plastic for a reusable canvas tote.
But some green practices, such as keeping goats or chickens in your backyard or riding your bike to work, are harder to pull off. Here are five of Kansas City's biggest eco-hurdles in this era of going green.
Hurdle 1 : Urban homesteading
Brooke Salvaggio and Dan Heryer live on a bucolic south Kansas City homestead that, until last week, had a sprawling vegetable garden and farm animals: 15 chickens and three goats that the couple said played an integral role in the farm ecosystem.
Now the city is forcing Salvaggio and Heryer to give up their goats.
City ordinance would allow the couple to keep two head of livestock on their property, as long as the animals would be kept 200 feet from the nearest human residence. The problem: No space in the couple's 2¼-acre plot fits those requirements, save for a small sliver of front yard right by Bannister Road. Kansas City allows chickens to be kept at least 100 feet from homes or businesses.
Salvaggio said she and Heryer, who own the Badseed Farmers Market in the Crossroads Arts District, weren't aware of the distance restrictions when they bought the goats and chickens this spring.
By summer, the couple was fighting to keep their animals.
It started in May, when a neighbor's noise complaint sent an animal-control inspector knocking at Heryer's and Salvaggio's door.
The inspector ordered Salvaggio and Heryer to remove one goat and confine the other two to a pen that met the ordinance's distance restrictions. But Salvaggio and Heryer had no other place to put the goats.The inspector came back June 4 and issued the couple a citation. That's when Salvaggio and Heryer appealed to the city for a special exemption to the ordinance.
Why not just move to the country?
"Cities have many wasted resources, including vast amounts of land," Heryer wrote in an e-mail. "A great deal can be said for re-examining our cities and finding better uses for underutilized land."
An Aug. 13 hearing at City Hall drew about 15 people in support of the couple and about five neighbors who wanted the livestock out of their hood.
The neighbors argued that the goats and chickens were a noisy, smelly nuisance. Some said the backyard farm could drag down property values.
But the goats, Heryer countered, gobble unwanted vegetable matter and return valuable nutrients to the soil through their manure. The chickens eat the caterpillars, slugs and beetles that spoil the farm's veggies.
The Property Maintenance Appeals Board sided with the neighbors, voting 3-2 against granting a special exemption. Instead of confining their goats to the tiny (but legal) front-yard space next to Bannister Road, Salvaggio and Heryer sent the goats to a farm in Fort Scott, Kan. They said that keeping the goats in such a pen would be unhealthy for the animals. They kept the chickens but moved them to a smaller space in the center of the backyard that's 100 feet from nearby homes to comply with city code.
"We are devastated by this decision," Heryer wrote in an e-mail.
Heryer believes that the board, whose members are appointed by the mayor, rushed to a decision without hearing all the couple's testimony or examining all the evidence. The couple is weighing an appeal to the City Council.
Another option — moving out of the city — "seems to us an easy and alluring prospect," Heryer wrote.
Urban farms: solutions
If you want to keep livestock or fowl on your property, study up on city code and homeowners association restrictions, if you belong to a home owners' association.
Some metro area cities are more animal-friendly than others. Kansas City, Kan., allows chickens if your lot is zoned for agriculture and you get a permit. And Kansas City, Mo., allows two head of livestock (goats, cows, etc.) if your property is zoned for agriculture and you keep the animals 200 feet from buildings. Merriam never made chickens illegal.
Mission resident Jerritt Dayhoff, 33, is considering moving to Kansas City, Kan., so she can raise chickens. Dayhoff and her family kept chickens for four months this spring and summer. She tried and failed to get a city ordinance amended so she could keep the chickens.
"I knew that it was going to be a fight," Dayhoff said. "I could do it illegally and not even bring it to city attention, but I really wanted to try to bring the urban chicken movement to Kansas City."
Hurdle 2 : Hung out to dry
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends air-drying clothes to save energy.
But what if your homeowners association or neighborhood doesn't allow outdoor clotheslines? The Kellybrook Homes Association in Kansas City, North, doesn't.
President Jeff Wray said it's all about aesthetics. Some people just don't like to watch their neighbors' tightie whities flap in the breeze.
"Clotheslines will never be allowed in our neighborhood — I can guarantee you that," Wray said.Clotheslines: solutions
Hang clothes in your basement or invest in an indoor drying rack you can stash in the laundry room.
Another way to green your laundry: The EPA recommends using cool water to wash clothes because 90 percent of the energy used washing clothes in a conventional top-load washing machine is spent heating water.
You can also save energy by cleaning lint filters regularly and stopping the drying cycle as soon as clothes are dry, according to the EPA.
Hurdle 3 : Biking it
Jon Selisker, 32, is an avid cyclist who bikes more in Lawrence than in Roeland Park, where he lives.
Even when he hops on his cruiser at home, Selisker said he mostly rides back streets.
"Kansas City's just not bike-friendly," he said.
Selisker said he thinks the metro area has too few bike lanes or paths and that sometimes motorists yell at him when he's riding his bike. One person even launched a banana at him.
Selisker works at Lawrence Re-Cyclery, a bike shop in downtown Lawrence. He prefers the sprawling trails and wide bike lanes of that town, which is rated bronze in the League of American Bicyclists' 2009 Bike-Friendly America list.
Kansas City didn't make the list, which this year acknowledged more than 100 cities.
Lack of budget for bike initiatives in KC could be a factor in the city's reputation. The Missouri Department of Transportation's plans for a new Paseo Bridge across the Missouri River, for example, do not include bike lanes because the lanes would add $5 million to the bridge's $245 million price tag.
The only metro area city that's earned a spot on the list is Shawnee, also rated bronze.
The League updates the list every year, considering such factors as trail engineering, community encouragement and bicycling education.
Biking: solutions
Kansas City Mayor Mark Funkhouser in May announced his ambitious goal to make Kansas City platinum-rated by the League of American Bicyclists by 2020. Only three U.S. cities have earned that distinction: Davis, Calif.; Portland, Ore.; and Boulder, Colo.
Meghan Cahill, the league's communications director, said platinum-rated cities go "over and above" other cities to be bike-friendly. Boulder, for example, has bike lines along 95 percent of arterial streets, and when it snows, snow-removal crews work on bike paths and streets simultaneously. The city also maintains a Web site, gobikeboulder.com, that provides tons of information, from bike-route maps to safety tips.
For now, KC bicycle and pedestrian coordinator Deb Ridgway is working to install 100 new bike racks at community centers, add bike route signs on 30 miles of city streets and improve sewer grates so bicyclists have a smoother ride.
But the city's budget is tight. Dennis Gagnon, a public-works spokesman, said officials are looking at inexpensive ways to better the biking system first, such as removing road grates that mangle bike tires. Meanwhile, Ridgway and other officials are writing grants to net federal stimulus money toward things like bike trails, bike lanes, pedestrian paths and maybe even a street-car system.
Hurdle 4 : Recycling downtown
A residential recycling void loomed over downtown Kansas City a year ago.
The problem: Kansas City picks up trash and recycling only from residents who live in homes and complexes of fewer than six units. Downtown dwellers don't get to participate in that program, so most rely on private management companies to provide recycling.
You're on your own if your management company doesn't want to spend money on recycling.
Those who have the space and time haul aluminum, paper, glass and plastic to the nearest drop-off bin, at 4707 Deramus Ave., north of Front Street.
Jen Denslow, who owns skincare company Blooming Lotus in the Crossroads, said she'd been hauling her business recycling away for years.
"Sometimes it's a pain in the bum," Denslow said. "I know many people who just don't want to make the extra effort. We definitely have to make green practices easy in order for the mainstream to come along."
And grassroots solutions have been a challenge, said Sheri Parr, who owns The Brick.
"Everyone downtown has had a hard time implementing recycling programs," she said. "We don't have the space you have in suburbia," she added, citing narrow alleys and small apartments.
Recycling downtown: solutionsPeople in the Crossroads and other pockets of downtown have been trying to get an easier way to recycle for the past year, The Brick's Sheri Parr said.
"The city is not providing us with the services, but others have seen the need and are moving in," she said.
A few options:
• Deffenbaugh Recycling and Waste Management Services rents 65-gallon bins for $7.50 a month. The bins accept office paper, newspaper, magazines, aluminum, plastics Nos. 1 through 7 and cardboard. The best part: The bins are compact, so they can fit in smaller spaces, and you don't have to sort your recycling. Find more info at deffenbaughindustries.com.
• If businesses have 2,000 pounds of recyclable material, Batliner Paper Co. will pick it up for free. You have to separate it into bins for waste paper, newspaper and magazines, aluminum and plastic, and cardboard and paperboard. Call 816.483.3343 to schedule a pickup.
• A new recycling company called Ripple Glass is expected to launch a collection program in October for glass food and beverage containers all over Kansas City. The glass collected at the drop-off locations will be remanufactured into fiberglass insulation.
Hurdle 5 : Growing your own
More Americans are growing food in their backyards, now that the economy's in limbo and food prices are rising.
Gardening may be good for the environment and your wallet, but some people prefer neatly manicured lawns to tomato plants, cucumber vines and bushy herbs.
The Kellybrook Homes Association in Kansas City, North, for example, doesn't allow homeowners to grow vegetable gardens.
President Jeff Wray said the neighborhood's developer, Liberty's Star Development Corp., implemented the ban before the homeowners association existed.
But he agreed that vegetable gardens can shrivel and turn unsightly in colder months.
"If you don't clean it up, it's going to look like crap for a long time," he said, explaining that the overgrowth can drive down the appearance — and maybe even property values — of a neighborhood.
"Nobody wants to see someone growing a field of corn in their backyard," he said.
Other neighborhood associations allow vegetable gardens but place restrictions on them.
One such subdivision, Leawood's Highlands Ranch, restricts vegetable gardens to the rear corner of the yard, at least 5 feet from the lot boundary. No vegetable garden can sprawl beyond 100 square feet without prior written consent from the Highlands Group.
Gardens: solutions
Seven million more households this year compared with last year planned to grow fruits, vegetables and other edible plants — a 19 percent jump — according to the National Gardening Association. Heck, even Michelle Obama has an edible garden on the White House lawn.
Plus, the average vegetable garden yields a $500 return on investment when considering the market price of produce, the association reports.
So if you live in a neighborhood that doesn't allow gardens, or if you live an apartment with zero yard space, you could join a community garden, a shared space where locals come together to help maintain one garden. A good resource is Kansas City Community Gardens, whose Web site, kccg.org, provides a long list of community gardens.

This really interesting white paper was published just over a week ago. It describes how Virtual Server 2005 is being used by Microsoft IT almost in a "commodity" capacity. Virtual Server 2005 provided Microsoft with the means to take consolidation to the logical level. The Virtual Server Utility team assumed responsibility for deployment. Internal customers were recruited for the pilot, with aggressive SLA metrics as compelling incentives. I saw a much earlier draft of this document with outlining some of the expectation settings, but I'm staggered to see the end results which are quite astonishing. Rather than giving you the result directly, read for yourself here.
one thing is that most ms shops expect is to have a 1:1 ratio for lob's. I think thats nuts and should be addressed not by vs2005 but by an educational effort on ms's part. I don't think a 1:1 on a typical server is required. Also since your picking the lowest hanging fruit for you server consolidation I'm sure those lob's would work just fine on a non vs'ed server.
ah heck I can't even begin to think of issues that I have with vs2005..

Notebook: Jim Kleinsasser not saying, but retirement seems likely
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings' longest-tenured player isn't ready to talk about his 13-year NFL career in the past tense.
But veteran tight end Jim Kleinsasser made it clear on Wednesday he has no intention of testing the free-agent waters when his contract expires after the season.
"What's the cost of moving?" Kleinsasser said. "Uprooting your family for a year or two -- it doesn't make sense to me."
Two sources with knowledge of Kleinsasser's thinking told 1500ESPN.com the 34-year-old has been telling friends and family members he's going to retire.
He has two young sons with his wife, Christa. He's active in charity work. He wants to go back to school. And he has made more money playing football than he could have imagined when he arrived as a second-round draft pick out of North Dakota in 1999.
"I'm proud of it," Kleinsasser said of playing his entire career for one team. "I've been lucky, been fortunate. I've had just such a great system throughout my career with my family, my friends. Good coaches, great teammates, everything has been kind of set up for me I guess you could say. I was just glad I was able to take advantage of it."
Kleinsasser has seriously considered retirement before. In 2009, the Vikings talked him into returning on a three-year, $9.5 million contract.
He turned down two more lucrative offers that year to stay with the Vikings, a source said. He also flirted -- "and that's about as far as it will ever go," Kleinsasser said -- with the idea of going to the Washington Redskins before re-signing with the Vikings in 2004.
"Yeah, it was one of those things that get just enough interest in the Vikings to make them nudge a little to get close to it," Kleinsasser said. "I was fortunate that the Vikings took care of me and definitely now looking back it's like, who knows if I would have gone somewhere else would I have played 13 years? You never know."
There's a chance Kleinsasser could change his mind if the Vikings beg him back, but that seems like a long shot as their rebuilding process continues. He has been battling an elbow problem since early this season and played only 10 snaps in Sunday's loss at Detroit, which dropped the Vikings to 2-11.
"You never want to go through something like this," Kleinsasser said. "It's definitely disappointing, but there a lot of other factors that go into your decision (about the future) than whether or not you had a better year or if you had a great year.
"There's a lot of other things, internally in this game and externally, family-wise and everything else that have got to be considered. I would say that whether this is a great year or a horrible year, that's not the main basis (for a decision)."
Set to return
There have been multiple reports in recent weeks that Leslie Frazier will return as the Vikings' coach next season despite this year's struggles.
Frazier said Wednesday that no one has been talking about his future.
"Really (we) haven't talked a whole lot about what has to happen with me," Frazier said. "Everything is really about getting ready for this New Orleans Saints game.
"But (I'm) very happy to be head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and that's where my focus is. But there is no indication from anyone in our organization that things are going to be any different from a leadership standpoint in 2012."
Ponder feeling better
Quarterback Christian Ponder remains on the injury report because of an issue with his hip but he did not miss any practice time Wednesday and the plan is for him to start Sunday against the Saints at the Metrodome.
Frazier attempted to explain Wednesday that when he sat Ponder in the third quarter of Sunday's loss in Detriot, he didn't really consider it a benching.
"It was just pulling him out as he was struggling with what I thought the injury was doing to his game," Frazier said. "That's all it was. If I thought he could do some of the things that he's capable of doing, he wouldn't have been out of the ballgame. But he's handled everything extremely well. It's hard.
"Nobody wants to turn the ball over or be in a situation where you don't lead a team to a win. But I think overall, he's managed the situation well, to the point where he didn't have any problems (Wednesday) in practice. He seems to really be in tune with this ballgame and moved on from the last game."
Ponder was lifted in favor of Joe Webb after throwing his third interception Sunday. He has thrown five picks in the past two games.
Frazier said Ponder was affected in part by the hip injury in the past two losses to Denver and the Lions. He was injured early in the game against the Broncos.
"Obviously, it slowed me down some," Ponder said. "I don't know how big an effect it was. I think also, subconsciously, that had an effect there."
Ponder said his hip has started to feel better.
"It's definitely a lot looser than it was last Wednesday and it's feeling pretty good," he said. "Continue to get treatment and everything but definitely getting better."
Ponder has thrown 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in going 1-6 in his first seven NFL starts.
"I need to show improvement -- not only for myself, but for my team," Ponder said when asked about the final three games. "I've got to do a better job of holding onto the ball. It's hard to win ballgames when you give the other team points, and so I've got to do a better job these last three weeks and hopefully, get three wins."
Not a city guy
Defensive end Jared Allen caused a stir last week when he made comments about his distaste for the cities of Detroit and New Orleans.
"I talked with Jared about his comments and hopefully, his comments will stay on what we need to get done and try to get a win against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday," Frazier said. "That's where it should remain."
In a conference call with reporters in New Orleans on Wednesday, Allen said he has no problems with the people of the city and offered an apology to anyone he might have offended.
Allen was booed throughout last Sunday's game in Detroit and made it clear while talking to reporters in the Vikings locker room on Wednesday that that didn't bother him one bit.
"The Lions fans had some funny things to say," Allen said. "I didn't insult any of the people. I'm not a city person, man. I grew up in the country. I just talked to the media from New Orleans. One guy was really upset about what I said. I was like, 'Well ...'
"I said it was more about the drive from the airport to the hotel. It was just a bunch of abandoned buildings. So take it for what it is. I thought it was great. I thought the Detroit fans responded well. It's supposed to be a rivalry. We're not supposed to like each other. I'm sorry I don't like your city. I guarantee there's people that hate where I'm from and it doesn't bother me."
Loeffler honored
Long snapper Cullen Loeffler, who is out for the season because of a broken bone in his back, has been named to the USA Football All-Fundamentals team.
USA Football picked 26 NFL players for the team whom felt they exhibited exemplary football techniques for youth players to emulate. Each player chosen will receive a $1,500 equipment grant to donate to the youth or high school football program of his choice.
Loeffler will donate the money to Tom Moore High School in Ingram, Texas.
As far as his recovery, Loeffler said, "I'm feeling a lot better. ... Things have been moving right along. I'm right on track."
A record to avoid
The Vikings have gone eight games without an interception and will set an NFL record for consecutive games without a pick unless they get one Sunday.
According to ESPN Stats & Information no team has gone more than eight consecutive games without an interception since the 1970 merger.
It isn't going to be easy for the Vikings to avoid the record considering they will be going against Saints Pro Bowl quarterback Drew Brees and a high-powered offense.
"We need to get some picks," Frazier said. "The quarterback we're playing, he doesn't throw a lot of them. But it'd be great to get one this week or get a few this week. We need some turnovers. We need some interceptions, fumbles, something against this offense."
Right cornerback Cedric Griffin was benched in the first quarter last Sunday, but Frazier said no decision has been made on if Griffin or Benny Sapp will start.
"We're going to let them practice the next couple days and then make a decision," Frazier said.
Rubbing it in
Nose tackle Remi Ayodele has been able to have some fun at the expense of teammates this week, pointing out that he was on the winning side when New Orleans beat the Vikings in overtime of the 2009 NFC title game. The Saints went on to beat the Indianapolis Colts in the Super Bowl.
Ayodele joined the Vikings shortly after the lockout, signing a three-year, $9 million deal.
"Remi sure rubs it in a lot," wide receiver Percy Harvin said. "We were just talking about it. ... He kind of jokes around about them beating us. He wants to show the ring and show the team that stopped us. We have fun with it, but I don't know if it's still true hatred between the two teams."
Roster moves
Two days after placing Stephen Burton on injured reserve and promoting Emmanuel Arceneaux to the active roster, the Vikings signed two rookie receivers to the practice squad.
Kris Adams, from Texas-El Paso, previously was in the St. Louis Rams' camp. Owen Spencer, from North Carolina State, was in the Detroit Lions' camp.
Offensive lineman Butch Lewis was released.
Arceneaux signed with the Vikings last January after playing for Vancouver of the CFL. He received a $75,000 signing bonus in part because he had worked out for eight teams over a two-week period.
So was he surprised not to be promoted from the practice squad sooner?
"Not really," he said. "I just come and work every day fired up. You never know what can happen. Any Sunday or any day anything could happen, so the thing is just trying to be ready so you don't have to get ready.
"It's just staying focused. While you're in those meetings and while you're out on the practice field never count yourself out because you're not sure what can happen to anybody."
Quick hits
• Running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, as was safety Jarrad Page (hip) and linebacker E.J. Henderson (shoulder). Only Greg Camarillo (concussion) sat out. Cornerback Asher Allen (shoulder) remained listed on the report but did not miss any practice time.
• Running back Mark Ingram (toe) and linebackers Jonathan Casillas (knee) and Jonathan Vilma (knee) did not practice for the Saints on Wednesday. Defensive end Turk McBride (ankle) was limited.
• Vikings players were granted their request to have their daily schedule altered so practice is held earlier in the morning and they are now done for the day around 2:30 p.m. Previously, players were not getting done with meetings until 4:30 or 5 p.m.

A harshly critical new report by congressional investigators says that despite spending close to $60 billion on the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), screening is based on "theatrics" that has failed to catch any terrorists, while passengers and crew are still the most effective line of defense. Air travel, meanwhile, is no safer than it was before September 11, 2001.
Instead of focusing on security, the agency has become "an enormous, inflexible and distracted bureaucracy, more concerned with human resource management and consolidating power," according to the investigation released on November 16. "Today, TSA's screening policies are based in theatrics. They are typical, bureaucratic responses to failed security policies meant to assuage the concerns of the traveling public."
The Joint Majority Staff Report entitled "A Decade Later: A Call for TSA Reform" sharply criticized the widespread waste and inefficiency that is rife throughout the "bloated bureaucracy." The agency also suffers from a lack of administrative competency, investigators found.
According to the report, TSA has more than 65,000 employees. That means it has more personnel than the Departments of Labor, Energy, Education, Housing and Urban Development, and State — combined. And its own "classified" performance results "do not reflect a good return on this taxpayer investment," investigators said.

No. 71 DePaul Women's Tennis Faces Challenging Road Weekend
Feb. 14, 2013
CHICAGO - Coming off a successful home stand, No. 71 DePaul women's tennis puts a five-match winning streak on the line this weekend when the team heads north to face Marquette on Friday in Milwaukee, Wisc.
After a quick turnaround, the Blue Demons will travel to East Lansing, Mich. for a Sunday tilt against Michigan State. Friday's match is scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m., while first serve Sunday is set for noon.
The Blue Demons (5-2) are coming off a successful home stand, including last weekend's back-to-back victories against then-No. 35 Utah and Iowa at Lakeshore Sports & Fitness.
DePaul is 4-0 this season against unranked opponents and is also undefeated when taking the doubles point.
Freshman number one Matea Cutura, last week's BIG EAST Player of the Week, leads the way for DePaul with a 5-2 mark at the top spot. The Zagreb, Croatia-native picked up her fourth ranked win against the Utes last Saturday and moved from No. 112 all the way up to No. 72 in the latest ITA Women's Singles Rankings.
Junior captain Kelsey Lawson, who is coming off an undefeated weekend at home, has won eight straight singles matches going back to November 10 and five straight doubles contests since pairing up with Cutura for the first time on February 1.
Lawson is also tied for team lead - with freshmen Jarret Fisher and Ana Vladutu - racking up 16 singles victories since the beginning of fall competition.
Scouting Marquette
BIG EAST foe Marquette (6-2) has also been on a tear, winning its past five matches after a 1-2 start. Like DePaul, the Golden Eagles' only setbacks have come against ranked opponents. Both teams own identical 7-0 victories over common opponent Milwaukee.
In the series, the Blue Demons have won four straight going back to 2008.
Scouting Michigan State
On Sunday, DePaul will meet a Michigan State team coming off its first loss of the dual season. The Spartans stand 7-1 overall after a 6-1 setback against Louisville on Sunday, Feb. 10. Both teams have faced a common opponent in Eastern Michigan, which DePaul defeated 6-1 on Feb. 3 (MSU won 4-3 on Jan. 22).
Junior Marina Bohrer leads the Spartans at 11-3 overall in singles play and is 7-1 overall at first singles. Sophomore Catherine Parenteau, a transfer from Arkansas, gives MSU a solid one-two punch with a 6-2 record at the two spot.

Meghan McCain Slams Bristol Palin
Meghan McCain says it was rough being a talked-about political daughter during the Presidential election of 2008 -- especially alongside then-pregnant Bristol Palin.
McCain, 25, made a dig at Palin, 19, during a Thursday appearance on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, where she was promoting her new book about the campaign.
PHOTOS: Controversial women in the spotlight
Lambasted at the time for her wild rep, John McCain's daughter said that she was sent to an "image consultant" for talking "bad," looking "like a stripper" and "hurting the campaign."
The presence of Bristol, pregnant daughter to her dad's running mate Sarah Palin, made it much worse, she said.
PHOTOS: Levi and Bristol's bygone romance
"When there's a pregnant teen there, it does a little bit to your self esteem," McCain admitted to Jon Stewart, suggesting that Bristol wasn't subject to the same kind of scrutiny.
PHOTOS: See Bristol and the rest of the new DWTS lineup
Tripp, Bristol's son with ex Levi Johnston, was born in December 2008. Bristol will compete on the eleventh season of Dancing with the Stars, premiering Sept. 20.

Surprising news about angioplasty
A reuter news article states that an angioplasty may only provide benefits to a patient who has suffered a heart attack if the angioplasty is performed within the first twelve hours of a heart attack.
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, using an angioplasty to restore blood flow three days following the occurrence of a heart attack provides no benefit other than what can be achieved through drug therapy.
Dr. Judith Hochman, of the NYU school of medicine, states that this is a disappointing finding, but also states that this shows how good drug therapy has actually become.
The findings cited by the NEJM were the result of a four year study conducted on five continents and involving over two thousand heart attack patients.

Last year Jamie Milestone (of London Undercover) and I first collaborated on a Black Watch plaid and orange cashmere scarf a scheme I lauded as "world's greatest color combination." Well, we didn't have any intention at stopping at a simple scarf. So this year we got together and made up another collab, but one closer to London Undercover's roots. We took the same wonderful color combo and made a limited edition London Undercover x ACL & Co. umbrella. Along the way, we've basically discovered that everything looks better in Black Watch and orange, this not being the exception.
More info from Mr. Milestone about our newest collaboration:
When we both met in Paris to discuss the project, we pointed out that it was in fact, our French cousins who first turned the modern Parasol into a waterproof rain umbrella. It very quickly crossed the pond and took off in London… much to the dismay of local coachmen who were doing very nicely transporting locals around in the rain. It felt fitting that we develop the umbrella in one of the oldest factories in France

While Microsoft no longer offers a Solitaire card game in its Windows operating system, the Windows Store comes with several alternatives, some of which are at least worth taking a look at.
Spider Solitaire HD is one of the best choices, as it packs HD graphics and an interesting feature list for all Windows 8 computer users.
The game comes with dedicated options to play with one, two or four suits, use it in portrait or landscape mode, disable or enable auto-card dimming and replay the same game.
What's more, it lets you save and restore a game in progress, but also to choose one of three scoring modes.
Spider Solitaire HD is completely optimized for the touch, so it can also be used on Windows RT tablets.

We have completed the evaluation of more than 16,000 Early Action applications we received this year. We are pleased to announce that our Early Action admissions decisions are ready!
Accessing your decision is an easy process as we release all decisions electronically through our Application Status Check system. We started at 3:00pm ET and are releasing based on geographic locations. If you applied EA, you will receive an email announcing that your decision is available with instructions on how to view your official decision online through the Application Status Check. You may also access your admission decision through the Northeastern mobile app on these platforms: iPhone, Android, or Blackberry.
For early action, we release three types of decisions:
Admit: Congratulations and welcome! Please log onto the myNEU Admitted Student Portal for more information about Northeastern and invitations to special events and welcome days. If you were invited to join The University Honors Program, that information will be in your decision letter. If you received a scholarship, you will receive a letter from Financial Aid in your Application Status Check. Also, be sure to watch for your welcome packet in the mail.
Defer: The Admission Committee chose to defer candidates when we felt we needed additional time to review their applications within the regular decision pool. If you received a defer decision, we encourage you to submit second quarter/mid-year grades, any recent standardized test results that we may not have received as well as any additional information about new academic or personal achievements. Your applications will continue to receive every consideration for admission. In fact, the interest exhibited through an EA application will be a factor in the final decision. Your applications will be evaluated in the regular decision pool and a final decision released by March 31.
Deny: The Admission Committee did chose to deny applicants who we did not feel were a good academic or personal fit at Northeastern. While we regret disappointing you at this time of the year, we hope you will use this time to talk with your parent and guidance counselors about your goals and explore your options.
If you have questions about your decision, our staff is ready to assist. You may contact your Admissions Representative by calling 617.373.2200. You may also contact Financial Aid at 617.373.3190.
I wish you all the best of luck!
Until next time…

Confidential, professional support
in the privacy of your own home
We believe that we are now probably the largest independent website on the topic
Providing help since 2008
You probably came here because you are living with an alcoholic and you are looking for information. You have probably looked at a number of websites, talked to a few people and heard the standard advice, which is usually "Get out!" or "Throw him/her out!"
Many of the people who come to us, come because they love their drinker not because they want rid of him/her.
We are not going to tell you what to do. However we will provide information and resources that will help you to make the right choice for you and your family. And we will support you regardless of the decision that you make. after all this is your life.
Most people come to us because they are confused, frustrated and feeling helpless.
We are here to help. Lou lived with an alcoholic for 29 years and John is an alcoholic and addict who has been clean and sober for nearly 30 years. However they are also professionals. Lou is a counsellor with her own practice and John is a Psychologist who taught alcohol and drug counsellors, GPs and psychologists about addiction and its treatment.
One of the features that most people find very useful is that we will talk about the issue from both sides, the alcoholic and the partner. This will provide you with some insight not only into what works and what doesn't but also why some things that you feel should work, just don't. Wouldn't you like to understand what is going on in your drinker's mind?
Many people who come to us are looking for a supportive community that understand where they are coming from.
We have a great community. It is full of people just like you, people who live with and love their drinker and share their successes and low points. But mainly people who pitch in and help each other, offering advice, personal experience or just a virtual shoulder to cry on.
They come from all over the world UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada etc. One day we counted that there 26 countries represented here.
Many people come here because they are looking for the magic formula to make their drinker stop drinking.
We really wish that this was something we could offer you. If we did have it, we would be millionaires now – because no one has that formula. Sorry.
What we do have is a way to change your life for the better. That is one thing that we do promise – that if you follow our program, your life will improve. And maybe, as a side effect of your change, your drinker will change, but that is not something that we, or anyone else, can promise.
Many people come here because they are looking for privacy and anonymity.
That is something that we can give you. You can be as anonymous and private as you want to be. Some join the website and stay in the background, others spend a lot of time sharing on the forum. The choice is yours, no one will tell you what to do in this website. And if there are things you don't like, just leave it aside, you will find plenty of other good stuff that can help.
Most people who come here are looking for information.
That is something that we have plenty of. If you like to read we have lots of articles. If you would rather watch it then we have about 6 hours of video. If you would rather download it and go for a walk with your mp3 player or listen in the car then we have about 36 hours of audio. If you prefer to interact with the information then we have 12 workbooks, a blog and a forum. If you would rather that the information came to you then we have two types of daily messages (motivational and spiritual) you can sign up for so they will be delivered to your email inbox and there are also frequent newsletters. So if information is your thing then we have something for you, in whatever way you like to consume it.
Most people say, yes that all sounds good but what do others think about it.
Well never mind what we say, read what our members have said.

IMPACT: The Journal of the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching and Learning is a peer-reviewed, open-access, online journal that publishes scholarly and creative non-fiction essays about the practice, theory and assessment of interdisciplinary teaching and learning as well as studies that explore compelling connections between great thinkers from different disciplines or time periods. Essays should be between 500-5,000 words and should adhere to the documentation style of your discipline. Please standardize what you can (e.g. use consistent spacing throughout; place the Notes page at the end of the essay and just before your bibliography). Most years IMPACT will offer a $250 annual award for the best essay on interdisciplinary teaching or research submitted by the first Monday in December. Essays should be submitted at: http://CITL.submishmash.com/submit. For questions please contact Megan Sullivan at email@example.com.
Book Review Guidelines
1. Reviewers should recognize that their readers want reviews to provide answers to a handful of simple questions: What are the contents and argument of the volume at hand? How original and successful is it? Is the book worth a full read and/or acquisition? As a consequence, reviewers should attempt to strike a balance between descriptive summary and evaluation. Too much of either does a disservice to our audience.
2. Reviews of a single title should be between 500 and 1,250 words.
3. Formatting for citations should follow the conventions employed by the major style (APA, MLA, Chicago, ABA, CBE, etc.) of the field most relevant to the text under review. Do include a works-cited list if texts other than that under review are cited. If a text is so truly interdisciplinary as to resist any categorization, apply the citation format it employs.
4. Begin each review with a header in the following format:
Author or editor name (Last, First). Title of Book. Translator or editor name, if relevant. Place of publication: Publisher, Date. Series title, if relevant. Number of pages. ISBN in format reviewed.
These examples may be useful guides:
Heidegger, Martin. On the Way to Language. Trans. Peter D. Hertz. San Francisco: HarperCollins, 1971. 200 pp. ISBN (paperback): 0-06063-859-1.
Kearney, Richard. Modern Movements in European Philosophy. Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1994. vi + 367 pp. ISBN (paperback): 0-71904-248-8.
Ricoeur, Paul. The Philosophy of Paul Ricoeur: An Anthology of His Work. Ed. Charles E. Reagan and David Stewart. Boston: Beacon Press, 1978. viii + 262 pp. ISBN (paperback): 0-80701-517-2.
5. The review may, but by no means must, have a title in addition to the header. If the review has a title, skip a line after the header, center the title on the second line after the header, skip another line, and then begin the text of the review on the following line.
If the review has no title apart from the header, simply skip a line after the header, and then begin the text of the review on the following line.
6. In every case, skip a line after the text of the review, and then indicate on the next line the reviewer's name and institutional affiliation.
7. Submissions may be edited for length, tone, formatting, and clarity.
8. Submissions should be produced in a timely fashion. A significant delay may result in reassignment of the review.
Size limit: 500-5,000 words
We accept scholarly and non-fiction essays about the theory, practice and/or assessment of interdisciplinary teaching and learning.
