Although the Orioles have played fewer games than the majority of teams, bullpens from 22 other teams have thrown more innings than the Orioles bullpen.

Thank you to all of our wonderful yonanas' fans! We appreciate your comments and we love that yonanas is helping so many of you to leading a healthier lifestyle! ENJOY your weekend and your yonanas! – Candice
I am in love with my Yonanas machine!!! I have tried so many times to make soft serve or sorbet with my blenders and they always turn out with too many ice crystals or too runny. I now have my friends and family saving their overripe bananas for me, haha. My husband doesn't eat much fruit, but he does NOW in Yonanas soft serve form. You are a genius in developing this, and helping us with our nutrition and diet needs. Thank you so much! God Bless you. – P. Vasquez
I heard about Yonanas from the sticker too- I think it is one of the most successful marketing items I have ever seen. I then went online, researched the product, found out it was cheapest to buy at Bed Bath and Beyond with a coupon- and bought one the same week. I could not be more pleased- since I gave up all sugar and sugar substitutes about 2 months ago for health reasons, I was literally facing a lifetime of no desserts- until now! Thank you for giving me an awesome, tasty, and safe dessert- it is blessing me immensely! – W. Lapp Merz
This is the first "soft serve " I have had in four years, thanks to you. I am a diabetic and have kidney problems and as a result I control my sugar intake and due to my kidney problems am not allowed to eat chocolate or anything with artificial food coloring. Now you can see how much I enjoy your machine, by the way thanks to my son who owns one. – F. Dupuis
I just wanted to say I love your product so much that I have declared myself your unofficial spokes person. Having lost over a hundred plus pounds and turning my life around completely! I now take your device to many of my meetings as a learning tool for the classes I teach awareness to. Members really seem to have ah ha moments when they see this product in action. It just fills me with joy to see them learn how to find healthy substitutes that will not only fulfill or physical hunger, but makes our taste buds smile. – D. Garrigan

When I was in sirsasana today, I thought: and now I can sleep a bit......This pose is so relaxing now in comparison to all the other challenging asanas, that I can even consider a little nap when in this pose.
I practiced slowly, enjoyed the asanas. It was a very intensive practice. The limits were felt and I tried to push them.
M exercises karandavasana with me. How great is that. This is my new pose now. Smiling. I go into headstand then I do padmasana. I can do this alone. Next step is to put the flat hands on the floor and to lift the head. Help is needed when I bring my folded legs down and up again. My arms are strong, but not strong enough for this pose.
I was able to give so much again, that I couldn't hold my body when I did the last chaturanga dandasana. Yes, it was an intensive practice.
How I love to practice yoga.........

Energy Field Therapy is a relatively recent arrival in the west, originating from China. This technique is designed to enhance and repair the electrical energy field flowing around and through our bodies. Energy Field therapists state that this Bio-Energy field is critically important in the maintenance of a healthy mind and body.
The body contains 7 major 'Chakras' or energy centres, these Chakras are focus points responsible for regulating energy flow around and through the body. It is these Chakras that can become blocked, disrupting energy and causing feelings of listlessness, undue fatigue and unfitness eventually leading to illness.
Accidents, disease and mental or motional trauma can cause an upset in the Bio-Energy field resulting in a severe degradation in the bodies natural in built healing abilities. Correcting any blockages or impediments to the energy flow will often produce dramatic improvements to a persons state of health.
You will remain fully clothed throughout the treatment which generally takes about 45 minuets. You will be either sitting or standing, whichever the therapist feels is the most appropriate for you.
The therapist will scan your external energy field using his or her hands but no physical contact is normally necessary. Energy Field therapists are trained to find and clear blocked areas thus boosting the bodies own active healing abilities. The treatment will require several sessions evenly spread over a few days to be effective although you may experience immediate benefit after the first session.
This page is devoted to providing you with information
about Energy Field Therapy. If you are an organisation or individual with
considerable experience in the field of Energy Field Therapy and would like
to submit an article providing information about Energy Field Therapy then please
email us - email@example.com We
will be happy to publish well written informative information about
Energy Field Therapy and will provide a link back to your website.

Two related cases have recently ruled on points of interest to those involved in loan management and enforcement. Both cases relate to Patrick McKillen's quest for control of three leading London hotels and both challenge steps taken to bring the company which owned those hotels, Coroin Limited ("Coroin"), within the control of two prominent hoteliers, by way of companies and trusts controlled by them (the "Buyer's interests"). First, the Court of Appeal ruled in McKillen v Maybourne Finance Limited and National Asset Loan Management Limited [2012] EWCA Civ 864, and secondly, the High Court gave judgment in McKillen v Misland (Cyprus) Investments Ltd (a company registered in Cyprus) and others [2012] EWHC 2343 (Ch).
McKillen v Maybourne Finance Limited and National Asset Loan Management Limited
The National Asset Loan Management Limited transferred a loan to Maybourne Finance Limited ("MFL"), a company within the Buyer's interests. National Asset Loan Management Limited is a subsidiary of the National Asset Management Agency (both "NAMA"). Coroin had received loans from Anglo Irish Bank and Bank of Ireland. These were transferred into NAMA in June 2010. On 1 April 2011, such facilities together with a new facility from NAMA (the "Facilities"), were consolidated so as to be governed by the terms of a new facility agreement between Coroin, Anglo Irish Bank, Bank of Ireland and NAMA (the "Facility Agreement"). On 27 September 2011, NAMA, Anglo Irish Bank and Bank of Ireland transferred all their rights in relation to the Facilities to MFL. Mr McKillen challenged the validity of the transfer.
Provisions in the Facility Agreement
Clause 24 of the Facility Agreement, relating to assignment or transfer by the lenders, imposed a restriction on the class of transferee (which, if applicable, would have prevented a transfer to MFL) and required certain procedural steps to be followed in order for an assignment/transfer to be effective. Clause 40.3(b) of the Facility Agreement sought to exclude the application of certain of the restrictions and procedural requirements in clause 24 in relation to the "…exercise of rights, power and discretions by NAMA or its Affiliates under the Finance Documents in place of any Lender…". Mr McKillen's case, based upon the details of the drafting, was that clause 40.3(b) should be interpreted in a restrictive manner. For example, the words "in place of any Lender" meant that clause 40.3(b) did not operate with respect to the September 2011 transfer as this was made by NAMA and the two banks together, not by NAMA in place of the banks. Therefore, Mr McKillen argued, clause 24 did apply to NAMA's purported transfer. He argued that the transfer breached clause 24 for two reasons: (i) MFL did not fall within the class of permitted transferee; and (ii) the requirement for consultation with Coroin had not been complied with. In the High Court, the judge found in favour of Mr McKillen.

There exist deleterious traits in the human population that were likely maintained because of heterozygote variations that conferred disease resistance. But what you're talking about
: a fast spreading superdisease that probably uses multiple vectors and kills off 99% of a population is science fiction. That it would be conductive to human genetic variation? The opposite would be true in a prehistoric era with low populations.

Wilkerson tells WFAN he plans to play Sunday
Today, Jets blue chipper Muhammad Wilkerson told WFAN hosts Joe Beningo and Evan Roberts that he fully expects to play this weekend against the Buffalo Bills in an important early divisional matchup.
When Joe and Evan asked Wilkerson about the nature of his leg injury, Wilkerson explained that he was being cautious "Well, I felt some pain and I wasn't too sure. That's why I stayed down. But we got a great training staff here. I'm getting all my treatment here to get me back on the field." Per quotes from CBS NY. "Those guys would do whatever needs to be done to get me back out on the field."
When asked about what the Jets will need to do to slow down Buffalo, Wilkerson made it clear that shutting down Spiller and Johnson are keys. "We need to set edges. [Spiller is] a quick, fast guy and we have to make sure everyone is filling their holes and filling their gaps and not letting them get in any creases. On the back end, we gotta do our job, know our assignments and shut down Stevie Johnson."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comComing off an excellent gameplan against the Patriots, if Wilkerson can go, the Jets should have a very good shot against a competitive Bills team at home.
There's been speculation about Wilkerson's ability to go this weekend, so it is good to hear it from Wilkerson himself that he feels confident about playing. The Jets are going to need as much help as possible to pressure EJ Manuel into making some rookie errors. Now the question will be how Geno Smith and the Jets offense responds after some tough sledding through two weeks …

|"I have a list of articles I want. Now what do I do?"
|Step 1: Start with a complete citation for each article, including,
if possible, the periodical or newspaper name in full (not just an abbreviation),
date, volume and/or issue number, pages, andlast but not leastauthor(s)
and title of the article. In short, make a note of all the details about
the article as they are given in the database, index, footnote, bibliography,
or faculty recommendation.
Step 2: Search Princeton's Main Catalog to find the location and call number of the periodical. On the Basic Search page, select "journal title" and type in the title of the journal. Omit any initial articles (a, an, the). See this page for more detailed help with the Main Catalog.
Step 3: Once you've found the iten, look at the "long display" to see Princeton's precise holdings. The display that results will tell you which volumes are bound or in microformat, whether any are checked out or missing, and the publication's location(s) and call number(s) in campus libraries. The display will also indicate where the most recent, unbound issues are shelved. Be sure to match the exact volume you need to the holdings information.
Step 4: If the periodical is located in Firestone, refer to the green sheet headed "Call Number Information" to learn the floor and region where the bound volumes are shelved, adjacent to books on the same subject. If the periodical is located somewhere other than Firestone, refer to the sheet headed "Designated Locations" to learn which building or special collection houses the volumes.
Step 5: When you find the bound volumes, refer back to your complete citation from Step 1 so you can retrieve the year and issue containing the article you need.
This procedure works for all so-called serials, a term which includes magazines, periodicals, scholarly journals, bulletins, working papers, newspapers, and other publications to which Princeton subscribes.
If you have difficulty searching the Main Catalog, or with any other
part of this process, confer with staff on duty at any public service desk.

Adding Embeds and Inserts to Concrete Countertops
What is a countertop embed or inlay? Concrete countertops can be modified and personalized when an inlay, an object such as a rock, piece of iron, sea shell, or other decorative item, is embedded in the surface of the countertop. Other items that can be either inlayed or embedded are pieces of broken glass, tiles, metal, and family heirlooms. Adding objects opens the door to creativity and adds an extra touch of personalization.

Upper Midwest Politics — As Blue as the Great Lakes
McCain may think he has a shot — but Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin remain solidly Democratic territory.
July 28, 2008 - 12:48 am
Still, John Kerry only managed to win the state by less than half a percentage point. Returning to our map, Democrats seem to be consolidated everywhere: in the Milwaukee area, huge college towns like Madison, and especially in the west close to the Mississippi River. Why then was 2004 so close? And will this be the case in 2008 as well?
To find answers, we traveled through the Wisconsin's Northernwoods, then down into Central Wisconsin. Scenes were very patriotic and conservative. Farms dotted undulating hills, while roaring rapids dominated the lush terrain below. "Pro-life Across America" signs, celebrating the annual summer walk, were every few miles along the highways. Like neighboring Minnesota, nearly 30% of Wisconsinites are Catholic, and churches of all denominations were abundant.
While eating delicious Italian beef at his country restaurant, "Denny," a Democrat with a Chicago/Polish accent and a dangling cross, informed me that he supports Obama, while his wife Ellen, an Independent, was undecided. They both admire McCain's experience, but fear a "third term for Bush." Ellen also added that as a religious person, she's "offended by Obama supporters who wear his face on shirts and treat him as God." "That's wrong," she said angrily. "We came up by our bootstraps and love this nation, for the record."
As you move south and west however, approaching the Great Lakes and flatlands toward the Chicago area, Volvos and Subarus begin to replace trucks and domestic sedans. Welcome to Madison: the Berkeley of the Midwest. As we moved toward campus on a 90 degree day, scantily-clad summer school students were headed to nearby Lake Mendota en masse. We went onto the beautiful campus where the usual college suspects were found; some distributing anti-war material, others skating and playing hacky sack. Obama stickers abound. He spoke before 16,000 here in February, and one guy I talked with said, "They could have filled up Camp Randall (football stadium with over 100,000 seats) for him but it was wintertime." Inside the university bookstore, greeting cards mocked Bush and even the Clintons, but not Obama, who was displayed basically as a "BaRock Star." There were "ImpeachMints" and "NationalEmbarrassMints" with the president's face on them by the registers.
Noteworthy is that Madison, the most liberal city in Midwest outside Chicago, was the subject of a fascinating recent NY Times article bemoaning "the end of the 60s" on college campuses. But is Madison representative of the entire Badger State? The economy is good, as per the president of the Wisconsin Bankers Association, who told a local station we were listening to that "Wisconsin banks tend to be more conservative than the industry…our banks outperformed their peers out of state as we didn't participate in any risky mortgage lending."
This might help McCain. We spoke with a young construction worker who makes $13 per hour when in Michigan, but when in Wisconsin, he pulls down $31.50 per hour working 20 hour days for the fire department assisting residents during recent floods. With $355 per week unemployment in the winter, "Jim" is not complaining. When I inquired, the non-union member told me he is for McCain, but many of his colleagues support Obama. Most of them are union members.
Michigan is only a tad different from its brethren to the west. The Wolverine State is extremely liberal in its cities and southeast population centers, and indeed has nearly twice the population of its western neighbors. Catholicism is less prevalent, while Protestantism, Judaism, and Islam is more the norm.
According to one local: "In light of the sad economic situation, and as a result of the near collapse of the auto industry, unionism maintains a stranglehold on those living in the big cities. Not only in Detroit's metro area, but other major cities like Flint, Saginaw, Jackson and Ypsilanti." Those cities, along with college towns, will vote for Obama. But up in the northern part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, politics are very conservative. A different world in many ways is found, with Dutch ancestry being common instead of Scandinavian. Though the Dutch are liberal in the Old World, in America they veer to the right politically.
A friend we visit each summer claims the GOP "runs unopposed" in these areas. However, Michiganders still selected Kerry by more than three percent four years ago. The outcome was perhaps determined by the remote Upper Peninsula. Although rural, the people tend to vote Democratic. The "U.P" contains almost one-third of the land area of Michigan but just three percent of the total population. Residents, frequently called "Yoopers" (derived from "U.P.-ers"), have a strong regional identity.
As in Vermont, there is a longstanding proposal involving the secession of the rustic Upper Peninsula. This new 51st state would be named "Superior" for Lake Superior, which forms the entire northern border.
I spoke about this topic to "Mark" at a KFC, and he said, "The idea gained attention at times, but no way will it come to fruition in my lifetime. Once the Mackinac Bridge {which gave the peninsula a direct highway link to the rest of the state} was constructed 50 years ago, we felt connections to the Lowlands of the state instead of just Wisconsin."
We hiked in Porcupine Mountains State Park at the western edge of the UP on a pleasant day, noting that these particular Michiganders were hard working folks, especially during the summer tourist season. We noticed lots of flags on barnsides, but while these homogenous folks are patriotic, socially conservative, and fiscally too, politics are mixed. Three of the four state Representatives from the U.P. Peninsula are Democrats.
Economic issues are essential in Michigan, and have people uneasy. Governor Jennifer Granholm is unpopular, with recall petitions on the table. The state's largest city has a corrupt mayor buried in a sex scandal. That said, Kerry won Michael Moore's home state by more than three points.
How can Sen. McCain make Michigan, a very blue state, emerge red, especially considering Mitt Romney defeated him here? If blue-collar "FDR Democrats," who will decide this election in many states, steer clear of the most liberal Senator in America, it's possible. But many, especially union members, reiterate they'll "never vote for a Republican."
For more information, I contacted "Earl," a retired local college professor who makes his summer home on a Northern Michigan farm.
"Ninety percent of the counties will vote McCain, but the key counties with large cities, aside from the state's second largest city (Grand Rapids) will likely cause Michigan's electoral votes to go to Obama," he said. "McCain must satisfy the economic concerns of a huge population in this state which, for the most part, shares his strong stand on international terrorism."
In my final analysis, after four days and 2,200 miles through these three states, I believe Obama, like Kerry in 2004, will keep them as blue as the splendid Great Lakes, with Michigan likely being the closest. Though they'll be close, there are too many Democrats — not willing to be wooed by McCain's centrism or turned off by Obama's inexperience — in the major cities, suburbs, in college and river towns, for Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota to flip, even in 2008.

•Le Cordon Bleu
•San Francisco
• 0 Comments
The culinary delights in San Francisco's famed Fisherman's Wharf run the range from coffee and doughnuts to pasta to seafood. Tucked away in a northeast corner of San Francisco facing the San Francisco Bay, many tourists and residents take an afternoon or evening trip to this area to enjoy the scenery and the food. If you like seafood, here are five Fisherman Wharf restaurants not to miss.
Capurro's Restaurant & Bar
Crab, shrimp, calamari, and oysters prepared in just about every way you can imagine by their talented chef. In San Francisco, you haven't eaten until you have visited Capurro's, a long-time restaurant here in Fisherman's Wharf. Offering live music in the evenings and an extensive wine and cocktail menu, many diners make it a night here at Capurro's.
North Beach Lobster Shack
North Beach Lobster Shack—often just called NBLS—is a casual hang out and an excellent spot for lunch. Diners enjoy lobster bisque, lobster rolls, lobster tail, and other lobster dishes from this quaint San Francisco staple. While the lobster may not be local, it is high-quality and prices are very reasonable. Customers rave about the Shack's resemblance to East Coast equivalents and the generous portions of seafood in the chowders and other dishes.
Those familiar with small plate meals, or tapas, will enjoy a visit to Pesce in Fisherman's Wharf. The San Francisco chef here knows how to create unique seafood dishes. The food and ambiance is unlike what you will find elsewhere in the city, but yet it still maintains a strong Italian theme that is certainly familiar. Visitors enthusiastically describe dishes such as orzo, octopus, and oysters recommending that each is worth a try.
Sabella & La Torre
This small, family owned establishment is a local favorite. Somewhat hidden from the rush of passersby, Sabella offers great seafood and validated parking. The ambiance is described as "old fashioned" but the menu is anything but old fashioned. Try this San Francisco chef's red snapper siciliano with garlic for a meal you won't forget.
Scoma's Fisherman Wharf
Scoma's may be a bit on the touristy side, but it serves excellent seafood in one of the most active areas of the city. After a long day of sightseeing there is no better way to relax and enjoy the view than by trying the delicacies created by this San Francisco chef. The menu is extensive including a variety of seafood options for every course. Most visitors compliment the restaurant's location at the end of a pier with gorgeous views of the San Francisco Bay.
Of course there are dozens more restaurants in Fisherman's Wharf and in San Francisco that serve delicious seafood dishes and other cuisine. But if you are looking for the full San Francisco experience, then seafood at one of these five Fisherman's Wharf restaurants can't be beat.

Zeke's Story
Dear Friends,
We are writing on behalf of Zeke Pierce, his parents and his brother Max, until they are able to communicate with you themselves. Zeke was in a bicycle accident on the mountain in Vail this past Saturday, July 13th. He had a serious head injury and he is in a coma. He is at Denver Children's Hospital, getting the best possible care.
Please send your love and prayers to Zeke and his family. It's important to stay positive and to see him well and whole. Imagine him in class at school, walking down the hallway with his great smile, playing out on the soccer field...whatever comes to you. Another way you might want to pray for him, if it feels right to you, is to get in touch with why you want to live -- what you love about life. Send that to Zeke, from your heart to his, to help him get in touch with it for himself.
You might be feeling so much care for Zeke that you want to go to the hospital, but please don't do that now. The family will let you know when that might be appropriate.
Peace and Love,
Sheila, Denny & John Linn

2011 Valve Problems?!?!?!?
My 2011 with 70k miles just decided yesterday in a parking lot to fall flat on its face and start knocking, shaking, and blowing back through the intake(sound). Scanned at Ford and all injectors passed electrical side and "contribution" side. Cylinder 1 and 8 are the problem children on a chart that was running on techs computer. He says he doesnt think its injectors, but it will be next Wednesday before they can get it in the shop and start with diagnostics. He feels "base engine" problem. This all happens less than 125 miles after they replaced EGR cooler last week. Im not sure if last weeks work caused this in some way or another, but i called Ford and got a case number anyway. I wasnt happy to be put at the back of the line for repairs since they just gave me my truck back and it fell flat in less than 125 miles. Anyway, if you have experience with these 6.7s (early build especially), shoot me your opinion on what youve read. Oh, and no, didnt throw cel for 15 minutes( and i do not know all the codes that were there). Thanks.
Happens all the time. Just look down a few threads in this forum. What was your build date?
Yeah, I read through most of those and just shook my head. Here's whats "weird" about it. The truck stumbled and started shaking, skipping, knocking, and making that "burp" sound back through intake. Tech came to me and said "Sounds like valve issue". While waiting for Roadside Assistance to show up, we started truck again to listen again, and it was gone. No skipping,tapping,burping,shaking. Nothing. Ran perfect. Tech said "Maybe since I changed the EGR a few days ago and did some carbon cleaning, a small piece may have gotten down and caused a valve to hang temporarily". We cancelled tow, and decided to drive truck to Ford the next morning so he could scan it. Left the parking lot and 3 miles later it started again, and this time it hasnt quit. Thats where he scanned it and now i sit and wait till next week before he can get in the shop. Im not a mechanic, so please help me understand; IF a valve had an issue, could it have corrected itself temporarily?? Once that happened, I thought injector or 2. He scanned and said nope, not injectors.
My truck is an early 2011. With upper 70K miles not sure of the exact number. I read that thread about the valves and replacing the long block or whatever.
My truck idled pretty rough so I put it in the shop just to be safe cause it was a noticeably rough idle.
The tech ran some tests on it, but nothing came up and it passed all the tests. But he felt the rough idle so he did some digging and found a TSB that applied to my truck. He told me that the TSB requires to replace the exhaust valves on the left side of the engine.. not both? Just the left side. My truck is in the shop for a 5-10 day wait for a lift to come open so they can take the cab off. So they should get to it this week and be finished next week. (truck was in the shop last week)
I don't know if that helps the OP but that's what just happened to me just this past week.
Funny you mention left side. When the tech here would walk around the front and put his head in the fender well to listen and then to the other side, he kept coming back to the drivers side and finally said "Its on this side". You must have an awefully good relationship with your tech and dealer for them to do what they are doing BEFORE something even breaks. Thats soooo NOT Ford lately.
Yeah the dealership has taken care of me and my family and that's probably an understatement. And I was expecting the tech to just tell me that he didn't feel anything and that my truck was okay. But hopefully that the left side is all that needs to be fixed! Cause if it drops a valve on the right side after warranty is gone I am going to be livid.
But that is weird how the noise is coming from the left. That doesn't make sense that the problem would only be one side? Well I hope they fix it and get you your truck back.
Yo may want to check out this TSB TSB 13-5-17
My truck is in the shop getting the left hand valves replaced......for me is was excessive regen cycles. This may help out with your problem.
Hey, thanks for the info. The tech asked if I was in regen and I said not that I know of. The only way I know is to see the QUICK flash in the data center telling me its cleaning. My truck doesn't make any "different" sound when in regen that I've noticed, and I don't get a message saying its finished. So I never know if I am or not .
Update FINALLY!!! Dealership finally got my truck in and went through their diagnosis processes. Lifted the cab yesterday after tech determined that at least one valve was sticking when he would manually operate it. Ford said pull head, they did and found one of the pistons had made some contact with a valve and left marks on the piston. They pulled other side today(I have no idea what they found there if anything). After submitting to Ford all the documentation they've asked for, dealership told me they have priced out short block along with heads, long block, or motor. I am at a loss between the difference in a short block and heads vs long block. Tech said theres a 3k difference between short block and heads vs long block. Im figuring the difference in labor time??? Also, he said they MAY do complete engine to cut down on labor costs. Help me here, short block and heads, vs long block, vs complete engine and bolt my stuff back to it. Whats the difference?
A short block with heads is a long block. It's just significantly cheaper to buy them separately. When I replace motors and heads, I buy them separately to save me and customer $ and them I stud them. No sense in tearing down a more expensive motor to get the exact same thing.

PIERRE, SD. — U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Acting Director Rowan Gould and Agriculture Deputy Undersecretary for Natural Resources and Environment Jay Jensen hosted a public listening session as part of President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative to develop a conservation agenda for the 21st century.
The listening session, one of a series taking place across the country, offers citizens the opportunity to share what they are doing in their communities to better conserve our nation's land, water and wildlife, as well as to explore more opportunities for Americans to enjoy outdoor recreation.
"The success of conservation in America has always been rooted at the local level, where citizens and communities give their time and their talent to care of our nation's treasures," Gould said. "As we tackle the conservation challenges of a new century, the work already being done by citizens in South Dakota and across the country will serve as the foundation for the America's Great Outdoors initiative."
"A healthy and prosperous America relies on healthy forests and grasslands, and the benefits they provide: clean air and water, they provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species; recreation opportunities; forage for livestock, whose production contributes to the local economies and communities," said Jay Jensen, USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment. "We want to hear and learn about the successful work happening in the region to conserve, restore, and keep working forests economically viable so that we can count on these forests staying as forests into the future. It is efforts such as these that will further build a 21st century conservation agenda."
President Obama inaugurated the America's Great Outdoors Initiative at the White House Conference on the Great Outdoors in April. The conference brought together leaders from communities across the country that are working to protect their outdoor spaces and focused on developing and supporting innovative ideas for improving conservation and recreation at the local level.
In a Presidential Memorandum, he called on the Secretaries of the Interior and of Agriculture, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality to lead the initiative, in coordination with the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Labor, Transportation, Education, and the Office of Management and Budget.
From coast to coast, ranchers, farmers, sportsmen, conservationists, state and local government leaders, tribal leaders, public lands experts, youth leaders, business representatives have been attending listening sessions to discuss the challenges, opportunities and innovations surrounding modern-day land conservation and the importance of reconnecting Americans to the outdoors.

Verdict is in on Tea Party: Between a Trickle and a Wave
Wednesday, November 03, 2010
For Tea Partiers, last night's race was a mixed bag. Tea Party candidates did well in states that were already red, like Kentucky, and South Carolina, but failed to make gains in bluer states like Delaware. In Nevada, Sharron Angle, one of the most notorious Tea Party Republicans, lost to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the state's wildly unpopular Democratic Senator.
What's In a Name, Nevada?
Tuesday, August 24, 2010
From George W. Bush to Michelle Obama, political candidates have learned the hard way that if you want to get votes in Nevada, you need to know how to pronounce it like a local. But that isn't as clear-cut as it sounds. The linguistics are so disputed that outgoing Assemblyman Harry Mortenson is now working on a resolution that would make "neh-VAH-dah" an equally acceptable pronunciation as "neh-VA-dah." It is a political plea for tolerance.
Of Labor and Incumbency: Primaries in Arkansas, Nevada
Tuesday, June 08, 2010
Primary races are scheduled in eleven states today. We are looking at two elections with national implications: Arkansas, where the power of organized labor is at play, and Nevada, where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is hoping a specific GOP pick will enable him to keep his seat.
In Arkansas, Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln is facing a run-off against Lt. Gov. Bill Halter. Organized labor groups, both local and national, have thrown their weight behind Halter, saying Lincoln betrayed them by not supporting a public option in health care reform and by voting for NAFTA as a U.S. Representative, in 1993. National labor groups have pumped millions of dollars into the race - leading some analysts to suggest that Arkansas' primary contest has been hijacked by national interests.
Measuring 'Economic Adversity' Poses Challenges

An index of Economic Adversity from Moody's Economy.com and msnbc.com has taken the economic pulse of 381 cities across the US. The good news: only one city is still spiraling further into recession. The bad news: as economic recovery moves slowly forward, understanding each community's singular struggles proves a complex task.

|The piece is trued up and ready for sanding after being hollowed. One of the problems with describing hollowing is that there is little or nothing to see as it proceeds. It all happens inside the form. I use the straight tool to drill a small hole at center and then widen it to the size of the opening. Usually I will do this about a third of the way into the form. Then I take the 45 degree tool and gradually open the hole to about a half inch thickness of the form wall. Then back to the straight tool to work down to the bottom of the form and the 45 degree tool to bring the whole wall to a half inch. Then starting at the top I use the 45 degree tool to cut a ridge leaving a wall thickness of 1/8" to 1/4" depending on desire and type of wood. Feeling for the ridge I continue down the piece cutting in a bit at a time until the bottom is reached.
|All the time you hollow patience is absolutely necessary. Stop frequently and clear the shavings and dust. I use a wire I heated and flattened on the end and inserted into a handle. I also use a blast of air from the compressor if needed but the wire puts a lot less stuff into the air.
|Here is a picture of the typical inside of a hollow form. In center is a hole I have drilled to the projected bottom using a 3/8" drill held by hand and using a vise grip plier as a handle. Around this is a space I have formed with the straight tool. Around that again are the cuts to the inside edge cut using the 45 degree tool. Note the little ridge that is left to feel for the next cut.
|The 45 degree tool is held with the cutting edge rotated slightly below the center line. It moves from the center out, taking a little at a time. For a short video of the cutting action click here.
|The straight tool is used straight on to the wood. Feel for the lip of the center hole and cut slightly left leaving a ridge to feel for the next cut. As this is a face grain cutting, occasionally the cut may be towards center. For a short video of the cutting action click here.
|Measure the wall thickness frequently using a commercial caliper or a piece of bent wire in this shape.
|As things proceed I like to draw in the bottom of the vessel while looking straight down on the piece. It helps to know how deep to cut the inside. You may note a difference in shape here from the original form. I slipped while cutting and came through the side. This is technically known as an "oops."
|Once the piece is sanded to 2000 I make sure of the depth and mark it on the base of the piece.
|Then I remove it from the glue block by parting in with a regular parting tool until a 1" or so tenon is left. This cut produces enough heat to soften the glue and a simple pry with the parting tool separates it from the glue block.
|I true up the glue block for the next piece and remove it from the lathe.
|A jam chuck is prepared for the lathe. Here a piece of scrap has been hollowed to accommodate the top of the piece.
|I insert a piece of "fun foam" to protect the wood and bring up the tail stock to hold it in place. Take as much time as needed to get the piece centered and then tighten the tail stock just enough to hold the work.
|Using a 1/4" or 3/16" Oland I shape the bottom, noting the line for the depth of the piece and not wanting to go through.
|The bottom is sanded and the tenon reduced and parted off. This can be a bit nerve wracking and requires holding the piece in place with one hand while parting with the other. You may wish to remove the piece and cut off the stem.
|The first coat of finish is applied and the base will be final sanded later.

As we work with our students are we "killing a learner's natural curiosity" based on what happens in our classroom? This post looks at 12 ways we may be "killing curiosity" in our classrooms, often based on what we are being told to do with our students.
As you read through this think about what you might shift, to allow your students to be more curious.

Do you use iPads in your school? Do you work with Bloom's Taxonomy and/or SAMR? Are you interested in seeing how you might combine Bloom's and SAMR using specific apps? If so, click through to this post.
The post takes apps and organizes in three categories:
* Consumption - which includes Knowledge and Analysis (split into Activity and Gamification)
* Collaboration - which includes Application and Synthesis (split into Assessment and Cloud Storage)
* Creation - which includes Comprehension and Evaluate (split into Multimedia & Design and Multimedia Texts)
Then read on and see how you might take these same areas and apply them to SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition).
This is worth a look even if you do not have iPads. The ideas of placing work into the three Cs of Consumption, Collaboration and Creation may be applied to work that students do, with or without technology.

Me gusta el concepto de "Evento de Aprendizaje". puede que con él, si es suficientemente amplio, se pueda resolver el batiburrillo de métodos, técnicas, estrategias, procedimientos, protocolos, tácticas, etcétera, con la que nuestros profes se enredan más y más.
Theophilus's curator insight, March 19, 2014 4:03 AM
What I like about this idea is the centrality of learning as opposed to the centrality of the device. We've discovered that sharing a device have far-reaching and positive possibilities for networking, interaction, teamwork and collaboration in the formal learning environment. OLPC is an example of a notion that goes the other way - individualism, not to mention, the complexities when trying to enable young learners to focus.

Some useful, if familiar, tips for avoiding burnout.
WEAC's curator insight, March 18, 2014 3:08 PM
This is a pretty good list from informED, but it's missing the most important way to avoid teacher burnout: Find support, and fight for improvement by being active in your union.

Interesting article here with lots of links to research.

This infographic, byt Mia MacMeekin, looks at personalized learning and the three areas below. In each area the question is also "How can curriculum design address personalized learning?"
What are the three areas?
* What is personalized learning
* How to personalize learning
* Examples of personalized learning
In each of these areas she also looks at the How, What, When, Where, and Why, providing key words or phrases that help you dig a little deeper into the subject.
Mia MacMeekin has provided an infographic that you could share with others in your building. Today we are asked to personalize curriculum, but support is not always available. This visual will help you better understand some key concepts, and provide you with ideas on how you might move forward.

A great find from Larry Ferlazzo but what are the other five? A bit of research led me to a presentation by Rick Wormeli "Fair isn't always Equal: Assessment and Grading an a Differentiated Classroom" and sure enough the other five were located in the presentation. The are listed below:
* Assessing students in ways that do not accurately indicate students' mastery (student responses are hindered by the assessment format)
* Grading on a curve
* Allowing Extra Credit
* Defining supposedly criterion-based grades in terms of norm-referenced descriptions ("above average," "average", etc.)
* Recording zeroes on the 100.0 scale for work not done

This post provides an image that looks at what we should consider as destination points for our students as they work on learning objectives. Have you consider using project-based learning and having that be an objective? How about a gamification objective? A few others are described in this infographic as are words to consider for the learning outcome.

This research assesses the readiness of private developers and financial institutions in Malaysia to implement or support Build Then Sell (BTS). A generic model of BTS readiness and factors influencing it, was developed to analyze the BTS readiness of developers and financial institutions in Malaysia. A questionnaire survey was carried out to assess developers' readiness to implement BTS. Elite interviews were conducted to assess the readiness of financial institutions. Statistical analysis consisting of descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the survey data. The interview data were analyzed using a content analysis technique. The results revealed that developers are partially ready towards BTS and not all financial institutions seem eager to support BTS in Malaysia. Only the Islamic financial institutions were truly optimistic about BTS. External support and organizational factor are the two determinants for Malaysian developers' readiness to implement BTS. On the ther hand, the financial institutions asssert the importance of market demand to ensure BTS can be succesfully implemented. Keywords: organizational readiness, housing developers, financial institutions, build-then-sell
The government has proposed that a Build Then Sell (BTS) concept be implemented in Malaysia, seeing BTS as the best way to solve housing woes such as late delivery of houses, poor housing quality and abandoned projects. The government has offered some incentives to encourage developers to use BTS, and some developers have already implemented BTS in Malaysia. Yet many developers are reluctant to implement BTS. This hesitant from...

Monster Energy-backed Taka Higashino won his first-ever X Games gold medal last night at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, the Japanese rider taking Moto X Freestyle with his "Rock Solid Backflip."
Higashino posted a 93.33 for his first two runs and the score held as he beat out Kiwi Levi Sherwood and Javier Villegas, the Chilean rider beating topping Nate Adams in a tiebreaker.
"It's too exciting," Higashino said. "It's like a dream; it's like it's not true. This is my dream. It's crazy! I've been working hard every day for five years, thinking, 'I wish, I wish, I wish' and I've spent all of my life working on this X Games dream. It was all about that Rock Solid for me. After landing that I don't even remember anything else from my run."
Higashino will also compete in tonight's Best Trick competition.

In the first game of any kind of the new high school athletic season, the Carbon High girls soccer team ran all over Granger High in a non-league game on Friday night in West Valley City and started their young season off right, 2-0.
"I wasn't sure what to expect," said head girls soccer coach Dave Capalbo. "The day before the game Grangers coach called me and told me she wasn't even sure if they would have enough players to field a team. I just told her we would match their number of players on the field and she agreed."
When the team arrived at the Granite School District high school on Friday however, they found that Granger had 19 players lined up to play them.
"That was as many players as we had brought along," said Capalbo. "So we played it straight up and by the book."
At halftime the score stood at 0-0, but one big statistic stood out; Granger had only had one shot on goal during the game because Carbon's defense was so good the play almost all took place in front of the Lady Lancers goal.
With about two minutes gone in the second period, Carbon struck with fury. Shanna Oakley drove in a goal, the first of the year and the Dinos were up 1-0. Oakley's father, Dennis, happens to be one of the coaches of the team.
About ten minutes later another goal, driven in by Julie Swineburn went through the net.
When the game ended, even if one had not known the score they would have known who won the game just by the stats. Carbon had taken 18 shots on goal; Granger had taken one, and a weak one at that.
"I could see at halftime how tired the Granger kids were," said Capalbo. "I told our team that only a few minutes into the second half we would be running circles around them. Our condition was so much better. That's what you get when you start working out in June."
Capalbo also had to tease his goalie, Danni Long, about her part in the game.
"I told her she must have been napping down there in the goal with so few scoring threats by Granger in the game," he said.
Carbons preseason schedule continues on Thursday evening when they take on the Lady Miners of Park City in Summit County.

WarmWire Great! But watch hidden costs!
By CJ
from Lomita, CA
Best Uses
Comments about 200 Sq Ft WarmWire KIT (240 Volt):
Easy to adhesive bond straps and just lace it up. With only wires-no matt likely easier to embed in mortar. Easy to make adjustments at mid way point (red mark on wire) if you find you are using too much or not enough. Video was very helpful. Self leveling concrete was an expensive added cost. For 400sq feet floor I used 16 bags at $30.00/ea. I would do it again though.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Emergency pavement repairs block lanes on I-75 near downtown
Two of four lanes, including the Erie Street entrance, are closed on southbound I-75 just south of downtown for emergency bridge repairs at Segur Avenue, the Ohio Department of Transportation announced.
"Due to the extremely cold temperatures, the size of the repair, and materials necessary, the lane closures could be in effect for several days," ODOT said in a statement.
Southbound motorists on I-75 should consider using I-280 and westbound State Rt. 795 as an alternative route.
From downtown Toledo, the Martin Luther King, Jr. or Anthony Wayne bridges, then Miami Street back to I-75, may be preferable to using the Michigan Street/Anthony Wayne Trail entrance to I-75.

Making Strategy
Mapping Out Strategic Success
Electronic Inspection Copy available for instructors here
'Demystifies strategy making while at the same time deepening our understanding of what the process entails. Their work is a marvellous guide for those striving to make sense of complexity' -
'This book is at the very cutting edge of strategic management theory and yet also of immense practical use. It is truly a rare and stunning achievement' -
'Using this book enabled me to facilitate a multicultural team of seven managers so that they very quickly got to grips with the challenges and opportunities facing the organization and developed a realistic workable strategy, whilst at the same time building a real sense of team cohesion and the feeling that individuals had been listened to' -
This lucid and highly-accessible text addresses the challenges of how to build a robust and implementable strategy. Strategy making is seen as something relevant to managers of departments, divisions, SME's, as well as the top management teams of public and for-profit organizations.
Four key routes to creating a strategy are discussed. These routes, when taken together, provide a powerful means for agreeing a negotiated strategy, and comprise: strategic issue management, agreeing organizational purpose, competitiveness from the exploitation and protection of distinctiveness, and the strategic management of stakeholders. The designs have been used extensively, in a wide range of countries, by management teams in all types of organisations.

I recently installed Awasu 1.1 and every time I start the program, it gives me a windows telling me that a crash has occured. shortly thereafter, it gives me another window with some code and informs me if I want to copy, send email, save, etc. etc. I am unable to run the program. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that does not work.
|Tue Jul 08, 2003 3:36 pm
[edit] From Support [/edit]
Are you running the Code Project plugin? Several people have reported intermittent problems with it. If so, delete the CodeProject.plugin file in the AppPlugins/CodeProject directory and restart Awasu.
Otherwise, when the crash dialog comes up, take a copy of the crash log and email it to me and I'll take a look at it.
In the meantime, you can go back to 1.0.5. Let me know if you need help installing it - you just need to unpack a ZIP file.

While everyone has their own definition of "indispensible" caregiving equipment, a gait belt runs right up at the top of most lists. If your senior is the least bit unstable and you don't have a gait / transfer belt, you're putting both of you at risk.
Kelly Radder wasn't using one when she "dropped" her husband last week. She broke a finger doing it, too. She's decided that hooking a finger through his belt loop when he walks is simply too painful. The pants are torn, he went down hard, and she now has an out-of-commission hand that's keeping her from doing what she needs to do for him. She went right out and bought a gait belt to use from now on.
With gait belts therapists are more confident that they won't lose their grasp on their patient, and the patient with weakness, poor balance, or a fear of falling is more confident, as well. Therapists and caregivers are also at much less risk of hurting their own backs when they use one of these belts.
While they're not difficult to use, we always recommend that your senior be OK'd by a medical professional before using one. Certain conditions usually preclude the use of a transfer belt. Experts recommend that you not use one if your senior has had abdominal surgery, an aneurism, a colostomy, a feeding tube, advanced heart or respiratory disease, back or rib fractures or back surgery, or any other condition that would be made more painful by a transfer belt.
You should also get a lesson on properly fitting and using a belt before you try it alone. Like everything else, there are tips and tricks with gait belts.
An additional tip regarding gait belts: If your elder is in a hospital or a care facility, you may see gait belts being carried from room to room and patient to patient. Although many hospitals are now issuing belts to individual patients, most rehab and long-term care facilities do not. Care facilities that continue to permit the same belt to be used on multiple patients are simply asking for infection problems. Be sure that your senior has his or her own belt so that the risks of cross-contamination are reduced.

This kit combines Anastasia's basic brow-grooming products in a convenient "starter case." The kit is sold in five shades, among them are blonde, brown, and auburn options. Regardless of which shade you choose, each kit includes Brow Powder Duo to fill in brows for a natural look and a double-ended Mini Duo Brush for applying the powder and combing through brows. You also get their Clear Brow Gel for taming and setting brows in place, plus Anastasia's signature tweezers and a Brow Stencil set to guide your brow shaping. Considering that all of the products perform well and would cost $109 if purchased separately (plus with this kit you get a convenient case to keep everything together), this is a good option to kick-start your brow grooming!
Anastasia Beverly Hills At-a-Glance
Strengths: Specialized brow products; top-notch brow powders with an impressive shade range; great brow pen and tinted brow gel; one excellent powder blush; good brushes and products for taming unruly brows; a couple good starter kits for those new to brow grooming.
Weaknesses: Expensive; horrible brow pencil; some of the kits mix really bad products with good ones; mediocre skin care; subpar mascara; the lip gloss is merely OK; products that don't live up to their claims (though that's hardly unique to this line).
The Anastasia Beverly Hills product line was developed by "definitive eyebrow expert" Anastasia Soare, a woman who owns a chic Beverly Hills salon. Her namesake product line is built around specialty brow products and shaping tools based on her criteria. Although she has expanded the line to include skin-care and other makeup items, the brow products remain the heart of the line; the skin care seems to be little more than an afterthought.
What sets the Anastasia line apart is the wide selection of brow-grooming products and their impressive shade range for natural-looking brows. Overall, the line is a mixture of both good and bad products, at a relatively high price point. We were expecting to find great brow pencils from a line devoted to perfecting the eyebrow, but Anastasia failed miserably with their extremely hard-textured Perfect Brow Pencil.
Their skin-care products also rank low in terms of efficacy and high in terms of misleading claims, and the mascara misses the mark completely. There are a few so-so makeup products you can ignore, and some of the brow kits have a frustrating mix of good products and awful products.
On the flip side, what's great about Anastasia Beverly Hills are their fabulous brow powders, good brushes, brow-taming products, and some helpful products such as Brow Fix, Brow Pen, and Tinted Brow Gel. They also have a beautiful Blush Quad and a couple of good highlighter pencils. Many of the products cater to those who are new to brow shaping (including a brow stencil set), and, depending on your local department store, you may even be able to schedule an appointment with an Anastasia brow specialist who can show you the way, following the namesake company founder's famous Golden Ratio.
