Melbourne, FL (Florida Today) -- The manatees are full of macroalgae; the pelicans packed with
parasites. Both continue to die in growing numbers in Brevard County,

What might ease a few of your aches and pains even more than a new pair of shoes is a pair of compression tights. They don't come cheap, but I can almost guarantee they'll make you feel better.
Opedix's R1 tight ($190; opedix.com) uses what they call an "anchor and sling" system to keep your joints aligned throughout your entire running range of motion (or skiing or cycling or whatever sport you choose). That helps reduce the pressure on your knees and almost instantly provides pain relief. Even your mild arthritis might ease up because you'll be "unloading" the joint, reducing wear and tear on the interior of your knee. The R1 may be a little too hot for the summer, but come fall, winter, and spring, you'll live in them.
For summer, try CW-X's Stabilyx tight ($86; cw-x.com). CW-X uses a similar webbed system to band your muscles and ligaments more tightly together, which stabilizes your knee, harnesses your midsection, supports your abs, hips, and back, and generally puts you in a more proper running/cycling position, which will only make you feel fitter, faster, and stronger.

Comments about Coach S538 Desiree - Tort Sunglasses:
These are very sophisticated and stylish sunglasses, a smaller, feminine look without being too small for good coverage. They are fairly lightweight and comfortable with good tint, only real downside is they don't come polarized as an option. I'm used to the ultralight, polarized glasses like Maui Jim, so these are pretty different, but still very comfortable. Overall very nice.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Jacoby Jones Injury Update: No Football For Over A Month
September 09, 2013 11:00 AM by Stephanie Gustafson
Talk about a bummer opening game for Dancing With The Stars alum Jacoby Jones – not to mention the rest of his team! Not only did the Baltimore Ravens sustain a terrible loss at the hands of the Denver Broncos, they're about to suffer the absence of one of their best athletes for a minimum of four weeks.
You gotta feel for Jacoby Jones. Every pro athlete knows that injury is a risk you take on the field and a natural part of the game. But that doesn't make sitting on the sidelines any more enjoyable. And Jacoby will be doing plenty of sitting around these next several weeks. During last week's NFL opener, the athlete sustained a severe injury to his knee, caused not by an opponent, but a collision from fellow Raven Brynden Trawick. More recently, we've learned that the injury involves a medial collateral ligament sprain, which, according to the Baltimore Sun, will sideline the athlete for anywhere between four and six weeks.
Brynden Trawick is receiving plenty of scrutiny in light of Jacoby's injury. The Ravens rookie attempted to explain the mishap, confessing, "Just lost sight of the returner, pretty much. I was just trying to block my man and lost sight of where Jacoby was. It's unfortunate that I ran into him. I've just got to have more awareness there."
How do you think Jacoby Jones' injury and resulting absence will impact the Baltimore Ravens? Sound off in the comments section below!

Bankrate: What was your impression of him?
Al Roker:
I found him a very lovely, sweet man; humble,
yet he had a healthy ego. But by and large, for
a man who had a multibillion-dollar industry based
on these, as he said, "round-headed kids and a
dog," he seemed like a pretty down-to-earth fellow.
And very spiritual.
Which part of your "Today" show duties is
your favorite?
Al Roker: Working with the people: Matt, Ann, Meredith, Katie, Bryant. You work
with some really terrific people, and not a lot of people get to say that. A lot of people don't like the people they work
with. It makes life a lot easier.
You worked for a long time with Katie Couric.
She's in a bit of a mess now. Did you think she
made a mistake in leaving "Today"?
Al Roker: I don't think anybody can categorize a choice anybody makes as a mistake.
It's up to them to categorize that. I think she had an opportunity that she had always wanted to do, and who am I to say that
that's a mistake to do that, because then you spend the rest of your life wondering, well, "Should I have done it?" So I don't
see anything like that as a mistake.
Bankrate: Tell me about Al Roker Productions. How did that start?
Al Roker: I started it in 1992 to launch a Web site,
alroker.com, and I did a thing for The Food Network.
Were there Web sites in 1992?
Al Roker: Not a lot of them, but yeah.
Bankrate: That was really cutting edge of you.
Al Roker: I guess it was. I also started writing a daily journal. If I had called
it a blog, I'd be a millionaire. But I did that back in '94 online.
Bankrate: So you started Al Roker Productions to do the Web site.
Al Roker: Then I did the Food Network special: Al Roker's "Memphis in May" barbecue
Bankrate: That was the first show you ever produced?
Al Roker: Yes.
Bankrate: How did that come about?
Al Roker:
I had hosted a special for them previously, I
can't remember what it was, but we were gonna
do the barbecue special, and they said "Sure,
here you go." So that was our first special. We
did a few more for them, then a weekly series,
and in the meantime we did a Lifetime Intimate
Portrait on Judge Judy, we did an A&E bio on Whoopi
Goldberg. We just started branching out.
Bankrate: Have you always had a sharp business mind?
Al Roker: I don't know how sharp a business mind I have, but I've always had an
inquisitive mind. I like producing stuff, and the creative end of it. Luckily, I have some people who are better business minds
than me working for me.
Bankrate: Did you always want to run a business?
Al Roker: No, not really. It just evolved. Most of the things I'm doing I didn't
start out to do. They just kind of happened. That's why you just kinda go with the flow. It sounds cliche, but you don't know
where things are gonna take you. You gotta be open to it.
Bankrate: What do you enjoy most about producing?
Al Roker: That at the end of the day there's something there. There's a product,
as ephemeral as it may be, but it's there, and you had something to do with it.

How Cultural Heritage Tourism Organizations Can Beat The Recession
The recent downturn in the economy has had a major impact on many sectors of the cultural and heritage tourism industry. The news over the past few years includes a number of losses -- heritage sites and museums closing, state programs eliminated, tourism agencies drastically reducing budgets, and cultural heritage tourism programs and organizations cutting back their operations.
Amid the bad news, however, there have been rays of hope -- attractions and marketing organizations standing up to the challenge and finding ways to survive -- if not thrive -- despite the economic downturn. Many of these cultural and heritage sites have found creative ways to stay true to their organization's mission while reaching for new opportunities.
To share these lessons and respond to the challenge, the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Heritage Tourism Program received an award from the National Endowment for the Arts to create a survival toolkit with three key components:
- 11 survival strategies culled from in-depth interviews with hundreds of people and organizations nationwide
- Case studies that illustrate those strategies in action
- Links to other online toolkits for additional information on moving forward in a bad economy
While the impact of the economic downturn has varied from state to state, the 11 survival strategies have already helped a broad range of attractions -- individual sites, community-wide efforts, and regional and statewide programs -- across the country. By pulling them together here, this toolkit provides urgently needed assistance to the key fields that make up the cultural and heritage tourism industry, including the arts, preservation, tourism, museums, humanities, and other related areas.
Search the Case Studies
Colorado Tourism Office Focuses on Local Market - In response to the economic downturn, the Colorado Tourism Office redirected heritage tourism marketing dollars to promote in-state travel as well as the "regional drive market," or, people who live within driving distance of Colorado.
Coal Country Tours Share History and Help the Economy in Southern West Virginia - When the Battle of Blair Mountain erupted in 1921, more than 10,000 armed coal miners fought thousands of heavily armed mine guards, deputies, state police and company employees.
City Council Sees Lynchburg Museum System's Success Up Close - Seeing is believing, and a tour of the Lynchburg Museum and historic home Point of Honor gave members of Lynchburg, Virginia's City Council a chance to experience the museum as a community treasure.
Cherokee Nation Says Osiyo to Visitors - The unique culture and heritage of the Cherokee Nation is woven throughout a 14-county jurisdictional area in northeastern Oklahoma.
Cezanne Fast Forward - The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) hosted a late night closing party on the last weekend of the museum's Cezanne exhibit in May 2010.
Building Up in a Down Economy - Despite the economic downturn, several states are making substantial investments in their state history museums.
Building Local Loyalty at the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center - The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center in Maysville, Kentucky started a "Museum Scouts" program for fourth-graders who were studying Kentucky history. The result has been a program that builds long-term loyalty to the museum.
Building a Heritage Tourism Image Library in Maine - Three Maine organizations partnered to fund the creation of a high-quality heritage tourism image library.
Boom to Bust and Back Again in Deadwood, South Dakota - Life was really good for the Adams Museum & House in the early 2000s. The introduction of gaming to Deadwood in 1989 had enabled the Adams Museum to expand their budget and hire a professional museum staff.
Beyond Lewis & Clark - The 2004-2006 bicentennial of the Lewis & Clark expedition provided an opportunity for exciting new programming in North Dakota, including guided multi-day canoe trips on the Missouri River.
Bartering Provides a Win-Win Partnership for Historic House Museum - Keeping 1,000 acres mowed, weeded and cultivated at The Hermitage, the historic home of President Andrew Jackson near Nashville, Tennessee, always generated big expenses.
Balboa Park Museums Find Synergy in Working Together - San Diego's Balboa Park offers a broad spectrum of large and small museums, many of which are housed in Spanish Colonial Revival buildings built for the Panama-California Exposition in the mid 1930s.
Baker County Oregon Attracts Visitors through Flickr - Enticing travelers to choose a destination is easier when they can actually see the beautiful sunset on the water or the elegance of historic downtown buildings or the liveliness of a local festival.

Last spring I started a photographic series at the Nyack High School athletic field. I was inspired by three things. The first was metaphysics, the large open expanse of blue sky and white clouds brought to mind pristine transcendent vistas painted by the Hudson River School Painters after travels here and further north. Second, I'm drawn to the suburban landscape because I grew up as it moved in… the time seemed right to wax nostalgic about athletic prowess played out my school sports field. The third reason is the color green and the color blue. I love the color blue because I love blue skies and white clouds above the color green and especially when a touch of red can be thrown in to break up those cool tones. I also love raking light. I connect raking light to summer time, to growing up where green manicured lawns, high landscaped hedges and the dappled shade tree light provided a fair amount of the mix. Read more…
Ali –
"It's best to aim for the mid tones in any type of photography, then bracket one stop over, one stop under to be certain, although I expose for the highlights a bit more because I want to retain definition in the clouds."
For all of those decades with my F-5, Fuji color and Ilford B/W
I never, ever bracketed, but always worked with my custom printers to burn, dodge and otherwise claridy wht I was really after… Not much has changed for me, moving into digital. I "stalk" the shots, only one at a time. Now, I "tweak" a bit in PhotoShop, but I'm not good a it and I don't like it much.
The human soul was fashioned "by hand". So should our art… IMHO.

- follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Entry and exit
Macau is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China with separate visa and entry administration to that of mainland China and Hong Kong.
Visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) can change at short notice. We strongly encourage you to seek information from the nearest Embassy or Consulate of the People's Republic of China or visit the Macau Immigration Service website, or the Macau tourism website for the most up-to-date information, well in advance of travel.
If you travel to Macau SAR from mainland China you may require a new Chinese visa if you intend to re-enter mainland China. We strongly recommend that you get an appropriate visa for China before leaving Australia. For further information about visa issues, you should contact your nearest Chinese embassy or consulate. You should also read our travel advice for China.
Make sure your passport has at least six months validity from your planned date of return to Australia. You should ensure you have checked the requirements for all of the destinations to which you plan to travel.
Safety and security
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. See our Terrorist Threat Overseas bulletin.
There is little violent crime in Macau, however petty crime, such as pickpocketing and bag snatching occurs, particularly in crowded shopping areas, markets, the airport and near casinos. Drink spiking is possible so do not leave drinks unattended in casinos, bars or nightclubs.
Take normal precautions when using ATMs or direct debit machines. We recommend you use ATMs in controlled areas such as inside banks, shops, shopping centres or casinos. If approached while using an ATM, cancel the transaction before speaking to anyone.
Local travel
Ferries are a common mode of transport between Macau, Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland. There are occasionaly ferry accidents that result in casualties, most recently in June 2014.
Airline safety
See the Aviation Safety Network website for information on aviation in Macau.
Please also refer to our air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
You are subject to the local laws of Macau, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards. If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter. But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail. Research laws before travelling, especially for an extended stay.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking in illegal drugs, including 'soft' drugs, include heavy fines and imprisonment. See our Drugs page.
Laws prohibiting demonstrations without government approval are strictly enforced. If arrested you could be imprisoned or deported.
You should avoid taking photographs of military installations in Macau.
Macau has strict laws regarding the import and/or possession of weapons and items that may resemble weapons, including replicas, antiques, toys, or fashion accessories that resemble such items. The import and possession of such items is illegal unless permits have been obtained from local authorities beforehand.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
Australian authorities are committed to combating sexual exploitation of children by Australians overseas. Australians may be prosecuted at home under Australian child sex tourism and child pornography laws. These laws provide severe penalties of up to 25 years imprisonment for Australians who engage in child sexual exploitation while outside of Australia.
Information for dual nationals
Under Chinese law, dual nationality is not recognised. However, Macau's basic law allows dual nationals of Chinese descent to register their Australian nationality with the Macau Identification Bureau if they wish to be considered as a national of Australia and receive access to Australian consular services if required. If you are an Australian/Macau dual national, you are advised to seek further information on completing a Declaration of Change of Nationality, and the consequences of this, from the Macau Identification Bureau:
Macau Identification Bureau
Largo do Senado No. 18
Edificio Comercial China 2.0-5.0 Andares, Macau
Telephone (853) 2837 0777
Website: www.dsi.gov.mo
If you plan to enter mainland China from Macau, you should do so on your Australian passport. If you travel on other documents, we will not be able to provide you with consular assistance.
Our Dual nationals page provides further information.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
The standard of medical facilities in Macau is adequate, however in the event of a serious illness or accident, medical evacuation to Hong Kong may be considered necessary due to the availability of specialists and high standard of medical care. Private hospitals in Macau will insist on confirmation of insurance cover, guarantee of payment or an up-front deposit prior to admitting patients.
The levels of air pollution in Macau may aggravate bronchial, sinus or asthma conditions. People with existing heart or respiratory illnesses should reduce physical exertion and outdoor activities on days where high pollution levels are reported. The Macau Bureau of Meteorology provides up-to-date air quality reports on its website.
Outbreaks of the mosquito-borne illness dengue fever occur from time to time. We recommend you take measures to avoid mosquito bites, including using insect repellent, wearing long, loose-fitting, light coloured clothing and ensure your accommodation is mosquito proof.
The mosquito-borne disease Japanese encephalitis is found throughout many regions of North, South and South-East Asia and Papua New Guinea. A Japanese encephalitis vaccine is registered for use and is currently available in Australia. For further details contact your travel health doctor.
Water-borne, food-borne and other infectious diseases (including tuberculosis, hepatitis and hand, foot and mouth disease) occur sporadically. We recommend that you avoid raw and undercooked food. Drink only boiled or bottled water, and avoid ice cubes. Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) is common in Macau with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time. In Asia, outbreaks of HFMD usually start in March/April and peak in May but can continue until August to October each year. It mostly affects children under the age of 10 years but adult cases (particularly young adults) are not unusual. The illness is characterised by fever as well as blisters and rashes on the hands, feet and buttocks. HFMD is spread by direct contact with nose and throat discharges and faeces of infected people. Normal hygiene precautions should be taken, including careful and frequent hand washing.
Where to get help
Depending on the nature of your enquiry, your best option may be to contact your family, friends, airline, travel agent, tour operator, employer, or travel insurer. Your travel insurer should have a 24 hour emergency number.
If the matter relates to criminal issues, contact the police in Macau on 999, 110 or 112 (national emergency numbers). You should always obtain a police report when reporting a crime.
If the matter relates to complaints about tourism services, contact the service provider directly.

Further information is available from the Macau Observatory or the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System. Monitor local media reports and follow the instructions of local emergency officials.
If you are travelling during typhoon season, you should contact your tour operator to check whether tourist services at your planned destination have been affected.
You should keep informed of regional weather forecasts and plan accordingly. Local safety procedures require businesses and transportation to close during a typhoon level 8 (T8) and above. Flights and ferry rides into and out of Macau may be delayed or suspended, including for weather related issues. Contact your travel operator or airline for the latest departure information. You should familiarise yourself with your hotel evacuation plans. Carry your travel documents at all times (i.e. passport, photo identification, etc.) or secure them in a safe, waterproof location. We also suggest that you contact friends and family in Australia with updates about your welfare and whereabouts.
In accordance with Hong Kong typhoon management strategies, the Australian Consulate-General in Hong Kong closes when the T8 signal is given in Hong Kong. Consular assistance remains available through the 24 –hour Consular Emergency Centre on either Hong Kong telephone number +852 2827 8881 or Australian telephone number +61 2 62613305.

Bisphosphonates, the most common type of osteoporosis medications, are typically taken for three to five years. After that, your doctor will consider your individual risk factors in determining whether you're more likely to be helped or harmed by continuing to take these osteoporosis medications.
Bisphosphonates include ibandronate (Boniva), alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel) and zoledronic acid (Reclast). In addition to slowing bone loss, these osteoporosis medications can cause side effects, including:
To help you avoid these side effects, your doctor may recommend stopping bisphosphonates after five years — especially if your overall risk of fracture is low. That's determined by your bone density score and your history of past fractures. If your fracture risk increases in the future, your doctor may suggest restarting bisphosphonates or trying a different type of osteoporosis medication.

The Financial Times reports that European companies are choosing not to use U.S.-based cloud service providers because of legal obligations the service providers have to the U.S. government under the USA Patriot Act. According to the U.S. legislation, data that is stored, processed or retained by a U.S.-based service provider must be made available for inspection by U.S. authorities without notification to users, which is a violation of the European Data Protection Directive. One European IT chief said, "We would never be able to use a U.S.-based provider of cloud services, even if the data is stored in a data center in the EU," suggesting that European companies would instead use local service providers.

Senior Chris Moore and the Green Wave will look to take down Tulsa on national television this Wednesday.
Jan. 29, 2007
Game Notes in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane basketball team will look to put together back-to-back Conference USA wins for the first time this season when the Green Wave hosts the Tulsa Golden Hurricane at 7:05 p.m. this Wednesday in a nationally-televised game on CSTV from Fogelman Arena.
Wednesday's game also marks the halfway point of conference play and the Wave will attempt to conclude the first seven games with a 3-4 mark. Tulane (9-9, 2-4 C-USA) notched a 3-4 record during the first half of C-USA play a year ago en route to a sixth-place conference finish.
The Wave sports a 7-3 home record at Fogelman Arena, and is 1-2 during league play. Wednesday's game is the only meeting with Tulsa during the regular season.
For the year, Tulane is averaging 66.6 points and 38.7 rebounds per game and is shooting 43.8 percent from the field, 32.2 percent from behind the three-point line and 65.1 percent from the free-throw line.
Junior David Gomez is TU's top scorer with 14.2 points per game and is also the leading rebounder with 6.3 boards per contest. Senior Andrew Garcia leads the team in assists with 3.6 per game, while sophomore Robinson Louisme is the top shot blocker with 1.6 rejections per outing.
Tulsa (13-6, 3-3 C-USA) looked to be one of the surprise teams in Conference USA this season by jumping out to a 12-3 overall record and a 2-1 league mark. However, a loss at Marshall ignited a string of three straight losses. TU snapped its skid with a 70-66 victory over SMU last Saturday.
The Golden Hurricane is winless on the road this season with an 0-4 overall record and an 0-2 league mark. Tulsa's last win on an opponents' home floor was at SMU, 55-51, on Feb. 8, 2006, a streak of seven straight losses.
Junior Rod Earls has recovered from a season-ending injury last year and returned to lead the Hurricane in scoring with 12.4 points per game, while freshman Ben Uzoh is the only other player averaging double figures with 10.6 points per outing. Uzoh is also the top rebounder with 5.5 boards per contest.
TU is averaging 71.5 points and 39.3 rebounds per game and is shooting 42.8 percent from the field, 35.3 percent from beyond the arc and 72.8 percent from the foul line.
Wednesday's game marks the fifth all-time meeting between Tulane and Tulsa, and the Golden Hurricane leads the series, 3-1. Tulsa has won the last two meetings with the Green Wave, including a 63-59 victory last season at the Reynolds Center in the regular season finale. However, Tulane sports a 1-0 record against the Tulsa in New Orleans. In the first and only meeting at Fogelman Arena, the Wave dispatched the Hurricane, 88-74.
In 18 games this season, Tulane has registered 119 blocked shots, an average of 6.6 per game. The Wave's total leads all C-USA teams and ranks 10th nationally. Robinson Louisme leads Tulane with 28, while David Gomez is second with 26. Donnie Stith follows Gomez with 25. In all games played, all three players rank among C-USA's top-10 leaders for blocked shots. Louisme is sixth, while Stith and Gomez are eighth and ninth, respectively.

US plans census outreach to displaced homeowners
WASHINGTON With the 2010 census looming, tens of millions of residents in mostly dense urban areas such as Los Angeles and New York are at high risk of being missed due to language problems and a deepening economic crisis, government officials said Monday.
The challenges are creating consternation in some cities, which say time and state budgets for outreach are short.
"While the census is a federal responsibility, there must be earlier and ongoing communication and accountability to local governments and communities," said Stacey Cumberbatch, census coordinator for New York City.
Testifying before a House panel, officials with the Census Bureau and Government Accountability Office cited high risk groups of hard-to-find immigrants, non-English speaking residents and displaced homeowners who make up roughly 14 percent of the U.S. population.
To ensure an accurate count, census officials said they were devoting $250 million from $1 billion in stimulus money for outreach that will include stepped-up canvassing of addresses to identify residences with multiple dwellers and homes now abandoned due to mortgage foreclosures.
The money will also be used to boost the bureau's advertising budget by $80 million, of which $26 million would target the fast-growing Asian and Hispanic populations in television, radio and online spots. Another $10 million would be spent on the undercounted black community.
The money will flow mostly toward dense coastal cities that traditionally have been more racially diverse. But places such as Iowa, with its rapid growth of Hispanics, or Maine, with its sizable Somali population, will also see additional outreach, the bureau said.
"A year from now, the populace will have seen and heard more ads in national and local media than in any prior census," said Thomas Mesenbourg, the acting census director. "Our goal for the 2010 census is to count every one, no matter how difficult or challenging the task may be."
Other efforts planned:
–Partnerships with thousands of nonprofit groups and companies such as Wal-Mart Inc. and Target Corp.
–Coordination with schools to promote awareness among students, particularly those with non-English speaking parents.
–Blogs, text messaging and YouTube videos.
–Rapid-response and contingency funds for areas with unexpectedly low rates of residents mailing in forms.
The stakes are high since census results are used to allocate billions of dollars in government funds for schools, roads, hospitals and other vital programs. States also risk losing political clout, since the population count determines apportionment of House seats and electoral college votes.
The census has long disproportionately missed minorities. In 2000, the bureau noted for the first time an overcount of 1.3 million people, due mostly to duplicate counts of whites with multiple residences. About 4.5 million people were missed, mostly blacks and Hispanics.
California, with its double-digit unemployment, has slowing growth and could lose a House seat if its high numbers of Asian and Hispanic immigrants – both legal and illegal – aren't fully counted.
In 2000, California had a state budget of $25 million to promote higher census responses, but funding is less certain this time around.
"Strapped in this economy, state governments are finding it difficult to support census outreach activities," said Rep. Mike Honda, D-Calif., a member of the appropriations subcommittee that oversees the census. "This makes federal dollars for outreach programs that much more critical."
New York City faces challenges with a resident population that is more than one-third foreign born, including those of Middle Eastern descent skittish given stepped up law enforcement after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The state is projected to lose either one or two House seats.
Florida could pick up one or two seats depending on a count of residents, who have seen high rates of mortgage foreclosures. Arizona, North Carolina and Texas also stand to gain seats.

BERKELEY - Senior defender Luke Sassano, the Golden Bears' co-captain and an All-Pac-10 first-team selection, had two assists in Cal's 2-1 victory over UC Davis in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last Friday. His second assist led to the gamewinner in double overtime, making Sassano the Muscle Milk California Student-Athlete of the Week.
Tied for the team lead in assists with five, Sassano found Andrew Jacobson to set up the Bears' first goal against UC Davis in the first half. After the game was tied in the second half, Luke helped to shut down the Aggies' offense through the first overtime, then found Andrew Wiedeman for the gamewinner at 1:47 of the second overtime. Wiedeman credited Sassano's throw-in for perfectly setting up his winning shot.
Sassano and the Bears are now on their way to Blacksburg, Va., to take on the Virginia Tech Hokies Wednesday, Nov. 28, in the second round of the NCAA College Cup.

Families (nuclear or calm) a la Globe
There are plays for families, and plays about families. The former are fun for the whole gang. The latter sometimes can make you blush even to discuss with the junior members of the household.
For its 2010-11 winter season, the Old Globe Theatre is rolling out one of the most celebrated (and explosive) plays to come out of that last category in the past few years — and it's a work that represents a nice coup for the Balboa Park institution.
The Globe is announcing that next spring it will stage the regional premiere of "August: Osage County," Tracy Letts' Pulitzer- and Tony-winning chronicle of a monumentally troubled Oklahoma family.
That darkly comic work is the top attention-grabber (so far) in a season that also includes the U.S. premiere of British playwright Alan Ayckbourn's "Life of Riley"; the unusual pairing in nightly repertory of two Neil Simon favorites, "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Broadway Bound"; the long-time-coming Globe return of the Arthur Miller masterpiece "Death of a Salesman"; and the regional premiere of Ian Bruce's South Africa-set thriller "Groundswell."
The season, which Globe CEO/executive producer Louis G. Spisto describes as having a throughline of family (in its myriad forms), probes that theme further with the West Coast premieres of Kristoffer Diaz's "Welcome to Arroyo's" and Ayub Khan-Din's "Rafta, Rafta ...," two plays centered on kinship in ethnic communities.
And as for the more G-rated meaning of family: The Globe will bring back the holiday favorite "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" for the 13th straight year.
What the season doesn't include so far — at this theater known for sending some 20 shows to Broadway — is a musical. At least not yet. The Globe is planning a musical project to run Jan. 15 to Feb. 20, 2011, but isn't finished deciding what that will be.
Spisto says that in assembling the season, he "started to see the theme of family again and again. Whether we're talking about the Lower East Side of New York, Brooklyn, Oklahoma, London or South Africa, these are family stories.
"They're very different stories, but most of the plays center on this theme of how we get along in the family unit, who we are based on who our parents were, how we choose to live our lives with or without our families. And what makes family."
Of "August," which will hit the Globe after its national tour (one that bypassed San Diego), Spisto said: "It's fantastic to have what's arguably the best play to come out of the canon in many years. And we very much want to do a new production. This is not a replication of the Broadway production."
Donald Cohn, chairman of the Globe's board of directors said the strong reception for the recent production of Simon's "Lost in Yonkers" figured into the organization's enthusiasm for staging "Brighton" and "Broadway" together. (The Globe stages plays in repertory for its Summer Shakespeare Festival, but rarely at other times.)
"('Yonkers') was so successful, it kind of prompted us to do the two pieces in rep for this new season," Cohn said. "And we looked at a classic, 'Death of a Salesman,' which hadn't been done at the Globe since 1952. (We thought), 'What a great piece. We should be doing that.' "
Aside from the pending musical, here's everything the Globe will be doing when the season launches this fall:
• "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Broadway Bound" (Sept. 14 to Nov. 7), Globe Theatre: Scott Schwartz, who directed "Yonkers" for the Globe (and is production supervisor on the currently running "Golda's Balcony"), stages two works from Simon's "Eugene trilogy," centered on Brooklyn boy Eugene Morris Jerome.

Survivor: Redemption Island — An Explosive Tribal Council
April 17, 2011 11:00 AM by Ryan Haidet
While last week delivered two eliminations, this week's episode of Survivor: Redemption Island is set to bring one of the "most explosive" Tribal Councils. At least host Jeff Probst says so. What sparks this big fight? Who is involved? What can we expect? Read on for more teasers!
During his live tweeting during the show last week, Probst offered this tiny tease: "Okay guys.. I really enjoyed our interactive living room. NEXT WEEK – one of the most explosive TC's ever. Ever."
Then in his weekly response to questions on EW.com, Probst reiterated that tease: "Next week has one of the most explosive tribal councils we've ever had in all 22 seasons. I imagine it will stir up a bit of water cooler talk."
So what is all of this explosiveness about? If the CBS teasers are pointing us in the right direction, I bet it has something to do with Phillip and Steve's fight back at camp in which the former brings race into the mix. "When some white folks, they like to take a black man and make him crazy when he makes an argument that you don't want to hear. … Anytime somebody of my color gets up in one of your faces, then you feel like I'm a lunatic, I'm crazy. Yeah, I think that's what this is all about right now between you and me."
It's likely their argument is about a contaminated container of rice, which a CBS press release says, "spawns a controversy that escalates far beyond the matter at hand."
The upcoming episode, which airs this Wednesday night, has been titled "Rice Wars."
Survivor: Redemption Island continues on CBS each Wednesday night at 8 p.m. The finale arrives in just a few weeks on Sunday, May 15. Yours truly be there once again to bring you exclusive red carpet interviews from all of the finalists! Stay tuned!

New 9mm pistol coming out from Remington based on old Model 51.
New 9mm pistol coming out from Remington based on old Model 51.
My wife is on the couch next to me. Thanks for that, now she found something to spend money on!
Looks like a cool little CCW gun. Wonder what they'll run. Bet they'd sell tons at $300.
I would say this pistol deserves a good look over , sounds good.
The Cisco Kid is a friend of mine:)
It's a blow back single action so... it's a Highpoint with a grip safety? I'm kidding, but at $350 it's going to have a rough time beating out the competition in that range you have the Shield, CW9, LC9 etc
Im waitin for the Glock 42.
Oh and not to get off topic in my own thread, but I won't be getting either gun because I'm sure they won't be on California's DOJ list of approved hand guns.....whine wahh wahhh. OK I'm over it.
Ya im hoping for a 9mm version. The .380 will be cool though. Ive always thought Glock should make a single stack pocket 9 or .380. Im excited for it.
That Remington would be interesting to work out side by side with a Ruger LCP and LC9.
I much prefer 9mm to 380 for defensive carry, and the newer 9mm pocket pistols are now reaching the 380 size range that is so great for carry.
Nemo me impune lacessit ! Wisdom is knowing what to do; Skill is knowing how to do it ; Character is what lets you actually do the job.
Turley Knife Club #59
Anyway that had to be the biggest POS piss poor excuse of a handgun I ever had the displeasure of owning. I was thrilled when the original owner was able to put it back in her name and take it off my hands!
But the PPK is no doubt a classic. I kind of like the R51 because it's based on a design from 1918, and some classic designs are just plain cool. I agree it's going to have a hard time competing with some of the compact 9mm's that have already been out there and have been proven to work. Just another option I guess.

- 'The Minnikins' Photo Album' Bio -
I release 'The Minnikins' Photo Album' to my family, music lovers, writers, DJs, artists and concept builders.
The first inkling of The Photo Album was born back in twenty-ten, when I made the decision to initiate an ancestral archive of stories taken from photographs, letters and songs. For a year of Thursdays I visited with my Nana (her mother is on the album cover) and we reminisced and sang hymns at her piano. Keeping with familiarity and tradition, I summonsed my brother Gabriel and sister Amy to share their talents alongside my closest friends and musical family (The Guthries, The Heavy Blinkers and The Echo Chamber). Undeniably my heart was swollen as I wrote, but I daydream that my next bout of inspiration comes from love, salt water and the children I will teach on Jeju Island over the next year. Or, the waves on The East China Sea may swell into sounds of longing and heartache for Canada, the Atlantic Ocean and it's folks (just like the time I moved to England). But that's a different bio entirely. 'The Minnikins' Photo Album', recorded and assembled, will magically appear just in time to mouth the words "goodbye for now".
History fueled music, wrapped in denim. It's in the genes.
- Press Quotes - The Minnikins' Photo Album–
- The Globe and Mail - 4/4 Stars - Disc of the Week/2012 Picks of the Year -
"As gracious and inviting album as I have ever heard."
- Americana UK - 9/10 -
"This is a pure, honest, no frills album that is both genuine and utterly beautiful."
- Bob Mersereau CBC -
"Compelling and fascinating, like those interrupted dreams you can't quite remember, but wish so much you could."
- Now Magazine - NNNN -
"On 'Letters For You', Minnikin delivers one of her most beautiful vocal performances yet."
- Herohill Music Blog -
"Washed in sepia tones; images faded and cracked Ruth sings in the spirit of tradition and lineage"
- New Canadian Music - Folk Album of the Week -
"Superb effort here. There is a soft and pure quality to Minnikin's vocals."
- Ruth Minnikin & her bandwagon - Depend on This -
Won 'Electronic Album of the Year'!!
Nominated for 2 East Coast Music Awards & 2 Nova Scotia Music Awards!!
'SOCAN Songwriter of the Year' & 'Electronic Album of the Year'
- 2010 Depend on This Bio -
Twenty-seven months, two weeks, five days and eleven hours after it's noble beginnings, Ruth Minnikin and her Bandwagon released their orchestral opus, 'Depend on This'.During it's creation, Minnikin tirelessly cultivated her creativity over months of mournful mornings, aloof afternoons and nestled, late-night writing sessions. 'Depend on This' takes it's walk on the red carpet of artistic endurance and tested every ounce of Ruth's body and brain. With the vision of a tiny symphony swaying in her mind's eye, Minnikin mentally battled and yearned for the momentum to finish the piece. Minnikin describes the completed album as "a conceptually dramatized exaggeration of an avant-garde jalapeno pepper on a life raft."Depend on This' uber-calculated conclusion spans the Atlantic Ocean and unites seventeen magical musicians, twenty-three integral instruments, a men's vocal choir, three pop producers, one sound artist, and a handful of visual artists.On her acclaimed 2006 release 'Folk Art', Ruth Minnikin stuck to the essentials. Contained in a hand-sewn, ink-stamped canvas case, the album's packaging reflected the music within. Rootsy, bare and without pretension, 'Folk Art' offered eleven tracks from an artist with her focus set on the songs and the live-recording process.Minnikin's varied and accomplished musical history has surely helped hone this kind of concentration. Her first band, Booming Airplanes, was signed to EMI during the Halifax pop explosion of the '90's. Her chamber-pop side project, The Heavy Blinkers developed a cult following all over the world, and at the turn of the millennium, Ruth made two albums and toured the UK and the US with alt-country quintet, The Guthries.
- Ruth's song 'Depend on This', received honorable mention in the 16th annual Billboard World Song Contest!! "Very cool song, unique and fresh. Excellent work. Wonderful blend of sounds and musical flavours." -
- Some Past Nods -
Ruth Minnikin has performed at international conferences ECMA, NSMW, CMW, NXNE, CMJ, The International Folk Alliance and SXSW
"Ruth and her brother are from Nova Scotia and play an assortment of instruments (accordion, mandolin and guitar) and sing glorious harmonies. Ruth sounds a bit like Laura Cantrell and her brother has a deep gruff voice like Billy Bob Thorton. It's acts like these that make this particular festival a treat for music lovers. By the time they left the stage after a 30 minute set, there was a queue of 11 people at the merch stall, to buy their CD."
Live Review in Maverick Magazine
" Canadian country gal Ruth Minnikin just gets better and better. Beautifully presented in a stamped canvas sleeve, third LP Folk Art (4 stars) finds her shifting further from the sweet country-folk of earlier work into the darker recesses of rural American tradition. A bony set of tunes veering from freakshow carnival nightmares ("Bad Dreams Pt.1") through N'awlins jazz ("Chicken Cooped Up In Country Music") to spare parlour folk ("Song Mill"). See www.ruthminnikin.ca for details."
Uncut (UK) May 2007, Rob Hughes
" Ruth Minnikin signed with EMI as part of The Booming Airplanes at the age of 17. Ten years and several albums with Nova Scotian Alternative Country band The Guthries later, she issues her third solo record, Folk Art, in a small cloth bag with stenciled artwork, accompanied by a handwritten track sheet. Recorded and mixed in three days, even fans of lo-fi singer songwriters like Jolie Holland or Freakwater might find Folk Art a little minimal, but Minnikin's cracked vocal skips over perfectly miniaturized songs featuring mandolin, banjo and French horn. Find Folk Art at www.ruthminnikin.ca. There's a hootenanny in the dolls' house."
London Sunday Times (UK), Feb. 2007, Stewart Lee
"Play her when you have company and absolutely everyone will ask you who the singer is. Some will say she sounds like a female Leonard Cohen."
Monday Magazine (BC)
"Ruth Minnikin has a voice that would harmonize happily with the McGarrigle sisters and writes songs of stark but simple emotion that are evocative of Natalie Merchant or Gillian Welch at their respective best."
Maverick Magazine (UK)
- Ruth's unique voice has found her on upwards of 50 recordings. Some of the big-wigs that Ruth has been lucky enough to share a stage or CD space with are: Beth Orton (UK), David Byrne (UK), Gold Rush and KTB (UK), Orwell (France), The Handsome Family (US), Calexico (US), Kris Kristofferson (US), Joel Plaskett, The Super Friendz, Mike O'Neill, Wax Mannequin, Buck 65 and Blue Rodeo.

Tragic Rock star electrocution deaths and the endurance of Pete Seeger's music
On this date in 1972, Les Harvey — guitarist for the Scottish band (which many believed would become huge) Stone the Crows — died on stage when he was electrocuted by a microphone. He reportedly died when he touched the (probably) ungrounded mic and his guitar at the same time during soundcheck (with what many believe were wet hands).Harvey is a member of the sad club of rockers who died at the age of 27. He's also a member of a smaller club of known musicians who died from electrocution. Keith Relf, singer for The Yardbirds, died in 1976 at the age of 33 after being electrocuted by an (again) ungrounded electric guitar. John Rostill was the bassist for the British Pop group that gave Cliff Richard to the world, The Shadows (he was also a member of Zoot Money Quartet alongside future Police guitarist Andy Summers). Rostill was found dead in 1973, electrocuted by a guitar that was (again!) believed to be improperly grounded. French Pop singer/songwriter Claude Francois — who cowrote the classic Sinatra tune "My Way" and sold over 70 million records in his career — died in 1978 at the age of 39. Francois returned to his Paris abode after recording a BBC special and was standing in a full bathtub when he tried to adjust a light on the wall above the tub. He was electrocuted and died. As far as I know, everything was properly grounded in the bathroom.Lessons: Bathtubs and electronics don't mix. And always make sure your equipment is grounded before touching anything. Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing a May 3 birthday include singer/actor Bing Crosby (1903); early Blues musician and slide guitarist Homesick James (1914); late Funk superhero James Brown (1933); Pop star with the Four Seasons, Frankie Valii (1934); bassist for proto-Garage band The Troggs ("Wild Thing"), Pete Staples (1944); Soft Rock superstar Christopher Cross (1951); singer for Nu Metal band Saliva, Josey Scott (1971); singer/guitarist for Indie Rock favorites Interpol, Paul Banks (1978); and Folk legend Pete Seeger (1919).Seeger — who will be awarded a "Distinguished Service" honor from the American Academy of Arts and Letters on May 16 — popped up in the news recently in a manner befitting the revolutionary singer/songwriter who penned (or co-penned) standards like "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?," "If I Had Hammer" and "Turn, Turn, Turn!" He also popularized the spiritual "We Shall Overcome," which became the Civil Rights Movement's theme song. Seeger's social consciousness in song was used once again in a powerful way last week when tens of thousands of Norwegians joined together for a marathon singalong of his song, "My Rainbow Race" (the Norwegian version is called "Children of the Rainbow") as a way to protest/heckle admitted mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik during his trial for murdering 77 people last summer. Breivek had previously dissed the song because it "brainwashed" children into believing that things like cultural diversity and racial harmony are good. He said, in court, that the song was brought to schools by "cultural Marxists." "The curriculum is stripped of knowledge relating to the codes of honor that have been so important for Europe for thousands of years," Breivik said. "They put up these songs and propaganda films to get students to despise their forefathers."Here's Lillebjørn Nilsen leading the singalong (he popularized the original Norwegian version).

"The Survivors" record a one-off and Sigur Ros film coming soon
On this day in 1981, The Survivors Live, an album featuring Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis, was recorded in West Germany. The story goes that the three artists — who all started out together on the trailblazing Sun Records — were touring Europe at the same time and Lewis and Perkins joined Cash at a concert on their day off. The trio reportedly played the concert without rehearsing, performing several of each others well known tunes and covers like the finale, "I Saw the Light," a Hank Williams standard (listen below). The threesome were 3/4 of the "Million Dollar Quartet," named for a legendary recording session in 1956 that featured Perkins, Lewis, Cash and some fella named Elvis Presley (The Survivors name, obviously, a reference to Presley's absence; he died four years earlier). The trio would get together one last time for a recording. The 1986 album Class of '55 also featured Roy Orbison (who, coincidentally, would have turned 76 today). Born This Day: Musical movers and shakers sharing an April 23 birthday include early Boogie Woogie piano pioneer "Cow Cow" Davenport (1894); Rock legend Roy Orbison (1936); violinist for the '70s version of Prog aces King Crimson, David Cross (1949); musician/writer/producer (Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin) Narada Michael Walden (1952); late, longtime Def Leppard guitarist Steve Clark (1960); stylish former bassist for Interpol, Carlos "D." Dengler (1974); and singer and guitarist for Icelandic Post Rock group Sigur Ros, Jónsi (1975). Jónsi provides the bowed guitar and falsetto vocals for Sigur Ros (among other things), which has been an internationally acclaimed band for the past decade or so with their enrapturing, cinemascopic sound. The band's new album, Valtari, is due May 28 and, this July, Sigur Ros is embarking on a very brief North American tour.If you are unable to make it to one of the nine North American dates announced thus far, this Friday you will be able to experience an artsy, quality approximation of the Sigur Ros live show right here in Cincy. Earlier this month, as part of the auxiliary programming related to its current Spectacle music video exhibition, downtown's Contemporary Arts Center welcomed in award-winning singer/songwriter Feist and music video director Martin de Thurah for a special screening and talk. This Friday, the CAC welcomes another music video auteur, Vincent Morisset, who will present a screen of the widely acclaimed black-and-white Sigur Rós concert film titled Inni (Morisset also made the Sigur Rós flick Heima.) The movie screens at 6:30 p.m., followed by a discussion with Morisset about the Sigur Rós projects, as well as his stunning music video work, including Arcade Fire's riveting "interactive" video, "Sprawl II." The screening and chat are free to attend with regular gallery admission ($7.50; free for members). Click here for more details. Below, you can check out the trailer for Inni and also register to win a signed Inni poster (the drawing for the winner will be done at the screening). Just enter your email address below.

I always watched my mother making our clothes. I loved the fact that I always had something exclusive to wear when it was selfmade. So when I got married I went back to school in the evenings for four years to learn how to sew and now, over 20 years later, I love it even more :)

Pear Rootstocks
Pears do not root easily, so they are propagated by budding or grafting onto a rootstock. Unlike apples no viable commercially available rootstocks that consistently control tree size exist yet. The most common rootstock used is seedling. You may occasionally find pears grafted onto hybrid rootstocks developed from crossing Old Home and Farmingdale varieties. These selections were developed because of their moderate resistance to fire blight. The nursery catalogs will list them as OHxF. Pears are also sometimes propagated on selections of Quince (Cydonia oblonga). However, some varieties like Bartlett and Bosc are not compatible with Quince. Asian pears are, by nature, weak-growing trees and, therefore, should be grafted onto more vigorous rootstocks such as seedling.

AUBURN HILLS, MI ŌĆō Chrysler Group is preparing for the worst as it readies the ramp-up of its redesigned-for-ŌĆÖ08 minivans. And thatŌĆÖs not all bad.
Production has yet to begin, and the auto maker already fears it may have underestimated demand for the vehiclesŌĆÖ breakthrough Swivel ŌĆÖn Go seating system.
ŌĆ£Unfortunately, we are the worst,ŌĆØ marketing chief George Murphy says of the auto makerŌĆÖs ability to predict consumer response. ŌĆ£We miscalled the Wrangler hardtop 4-door. WeŌĆÖre nervous about the (Sebring) convertible now. This is another one.ŌĆØ
Demand for the Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedŌĆÖs optional ŌĆ£Freedom TopŌĆØ removable roof has been so strong that Chrysler had to call on its supplier for more deliveries. The supplier, Michigan-based Meridian Automotive Systems, is adding manufacturing capacity to fill the increased orders.
Meanwhile, the Sebring convertible ŌĆō which comes in three styles, including a retractable hardtop ŌĆō launched to sales of more than 1,400 units in April, its first month of availability.
Murphy, senior vice president-marketing, declines to reveal projected take-rate volumes, but admits the auto maker is on edge.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve got a number for Swivel ŌĆÖn Go, and weŌĆÖre all a little bit nervous because weŌĆÖve been light (in the past),ŌĆØ he says here during a media preview of ChryslerŌĆÖs new advertising campaign in which the new seating system is featured.
Chastened by its experience with Wrangler Unlimited, Chrysler has alerted Swivel ŌĆÖn Go supplier Intier Automotive Inc. that additional production may be necessary.
Swivel ŌĆÖn Go, which debuts this fall with the production launch of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan, allows second-row passengers to face the rear of the vehicle by turning their seats 180 degrees. Also available is an optional table that can be set up between the two rows for activities, such as dining or game-playing.
Deployment of the seats and table are allowed while the vehicle is moving because Chrysler has proved to regulators they are safe.
Against this backdrop, Stow ŌĆÖn Go is a wild card, a Chrysler spokesman suggests.
Also from Intier, Stow ŌĆÖn Go, which conceals second-row seating beneath a minivanŌĆÖs floor, thereby increasing cargo capacity, still will be available. So the auto maker also must calculate how many vehicles are likely to require this system instead of Swivel ŌĆÖn Go.
Murphy recalls how, after Stow ŌĆÖn Go made its debut inŌĆÖ05, Chrysler forecast a 15% take rate for standard fold-and-tumble seating.
ŌĆ£It went to zero so fast you couldnŌĆÖt believe it,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£When you have a feature that really resonates, itŌĆÖs going to be a pretty high take-rate.ŌĆØ
Stow ŌĆÖn Go, which debuted in ŌĆÖ05, is widely credited with boosting Chrysler minivan sales. T&C deliveries rose 42% compared with 2004.
Unlike the redesigned Wrangler, which is in short supply according to dealers, Murphy assures there will be no shortage of the auto makerŌĆÖs new minivans once production begins this summer.
ŌĆ£Minivan is such a high-volume vehicle that, trust me, there will be more than one in every dealership (at launch),ŌĆØ Murphy says. ŌĆ£You wonŌĆÖt hear a dealer saying they donŌĆÖt have a minivan.ŌĆØ
The vehicle will be assembled at a pair of Chrysler plants ŌĆō St. Louis and Windsor, ON, Canada.
Sales of the T&C and Dodge Caravan minivans were down last year, 12% and 6.9%, respectively. But Chrysler and Dodge minivans dominated the segment, claiming a 4.3% combined share of the total light-truck market, according to WardŌĆÖs data.
The Honda Odyssey followed with a 2% share after enjoying a 2.1% sales hike vs. prior-year. But its unit sales total of 177,919 still trailed the first-place CaravanŌĆÖs 211,140 deliveries.
