This question already has an answer here:
It seems like it is nearly impossible to get close because you could run into any number of issues and things not first anticipated. How close can we be expected to reasonably estimate? Our PM wants to be able to have things like Gant charts and such mapping out weeks at a time and such... So we say we can get these bugs done, and this is how long each will take, and the goal will be Friday, but things get thrown off and pushed into the next week, like every time! How are we suppose to guess the right time?

Kumquat Olive Relish Recipe
06.27.11 by Jackie
Mustard and ketchup don't have to be the only condiments on your table. You can make your own that are, dare I say, unique and more flavorful. For example, whenever I serve grilled chicken breasts, tuna or even grilled tofu, I like to enhance the usual bland dish with a flavorful relish. I recently served the relish with Gouda cheese and crackers. The two pair wonderfully.
I recently used kumquat marmalade from last winter and mixed it with large, meaty and slightly sweet olives. In addition to imparting a citrus flavor, this olive relish also adds a pleasant texture to the food. Best of all, it can be prepared way in advance.

Friday 8th April 2011
For Immediate Release
Media Reminder: Yuri Walk and 50th Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's Flight
Tuesday 12th April will be the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historic first human spaceflight on 12th April 1961.
Celebrations on the 12th April will commence with a "Yuri Walk" on London's South Bank. YuriGagarin50 is inviting supporters to gather at 7am in Jubilee Gardens, dressed in Yuri-style orange suits, to toast Gagarin's launch exactly 50 years on, at 07:07 BST. The walkers will then set off on three orbits along the South Bank, Waterloo Bridge, the Embankment and back over Westminster Bridge. This should last a total of around 108 minutes, the same duration as Gagarin's flight. The walk is being led by Vix Southgate, the author and illustrator of 'Yuri Gagarin – The First Spaceman'.
Events across the UK are being organised to celebrate the anniversary. YuriGagarin50 (www.yurigagarin50.org/events/calendar) has a put together a searchable calendar of events, which include exhibitions, talks, concerts, book discussions, plays, Yuri's Night parties and other activities.
Highlights include screenings of Chris Riley's First Orbit film (http://firstorbit.org) in science centres, museums and BBC Big Screens across the UK, the Gagarin50 exhibition (http://gagarin50.co.uk) at the Waterside Arts Centre, Manchester and the IET Yuri Gagarin Lecture (http://conferences.theiet.org/gagarin) at Savoy Place, London.
On 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin made the first human flight in space. 12 April 2011 will be the 50th anniversary of this event.
YuriGagarin50 is supported by the UK Space Agency, the Royal Astronomical Society, the Space Education Trust, Whiteshirt Communications, the Planetary Society and FootageVault.
Vix Southgate is a Sheffield-born author and illustrator, specialising in science-based story books for young children. Her latest book 'Yuri Gagarin, the First Spaceman' has been published in association with the British Council in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of his flight. The book is illustrated in comic book style and tells the story of Gagarin's flight. Although it has been written to engage with children, it is suitable for all ages.

PETA ARMANI PROTESTS: PETA plans to protest the Giorgio Armani store opening Tuesday, with dozens of PETA volunteers dressed in giant rabbit suits.
During a PETA video screening Tuesday, PETA senior vice president Dan Matthews said Armani had committed to stop using fur in July 2007, only to put rabbit furs on its fall 2008 runway.
Admitting the protests can be "obnoxious," Matthews said PETA "only crosses that line after every other attempt to reach people."
Armani had no comment.

Question No. 41: Can you make your first period come faster?
Hey PLS,
I need to know if there is any way to get your period sooner, and how to tell your mom when you get it and if it's ok to use tampons some before you get your period.
Kat-K.R.D, 10
Let's take Kat's questions one by one:
1. Can you speed up your first period?
No, you can't speed up your period. It's frustrating that there's no one age for first periods.
First periods come about two years after a girl starts developing breasts. And that happens during puberty, which can start as early as 8 and as late as 13.
2. How do you tell your mom when you get it?
The answer is any way you feel comfortable. You could say something simple like, "Mom, I think I got my first period." Or if you're feeling a little shy, send her a text, an email or leave her a note.
Some girls feel so nervous they don't tell anyone. That makes it tough because you need someone to help get you the supplies (pads or tampons) that you need. And you'll probably have other questions you'll want to ask.
3. Can you try tampons before your first period?
It's no problem to take one out and have a look - but doctors don't recommend actually inserting one before your period. You might want to ask your mom for some basic info before you get your period. Learning how tampons work can be part of the talk.
Any other advice for Kat about first periods?

OSWEGO, NY – The general election earlier this month went smoothly, despite a couple bumps in the road, according to Oswego County's two elections commissioners.
The bumps, however, were greatly magnified due to the intense scrutiny focused on the special election for the 23rd Congressional District, which was held in conjunction with the regular general election.
Conservative Doug Hoffman claimed an error in the vote count on election night prompted him to concede, thinking he couldn't catch up with Democrat Bill Owens.
The margin wasn't such a big one after all, and he "un- conceded."
As the results became official, the margin was insurmountable, and he conceded again.
"The election went great," Democratic Elections Commissioner William Scriber told the Community and Consumer Affairs Committee. "We were one of 18 pilot counties; we were the second largest pilot county."
From 6 in the morning until 9:05 p.m., things went perfectly, he noted.
"We had very few problems. There are some minor things; poll sites are going to need to be changed," Scriber said.
With the new system, training was a problem, he added.
There were some fantastic poll sites, such as the Elks Club in Oswego, to "long physical labor sites, he said.
"Outside that, the election went fine," Scriber told the committee. "The three machines that we replaced were paper jams. No machine failed."
Republican Elections Commissioner Don Wart echoed Scriber's opinion.
"Everything did run perfectly from the time the polls opened until the time they closed," he said. "We opted to go into the pilot program because we knew there were going to be problems. You never go down the path of a new program without having some problems along the way."
They didn't have the types of problems they anticipated; the machine worked fine, he pointed out.
"We felt the voter turnout in 2009 would be something better for us to sharpen our teeth on (instead of waiting until the larger, state and federal elections in 2010). We felt it was better to take this on this year," he explained.
Those people who worked the general election worked new machines for the very first time, Wart told the committee. The workers who did the primaries had the advantage during the general election of already having had some experience with the machines.
"Are there some areas that need to be fixed and corrected? Absolutely," he said.
People want instant gratification with change, they have little patience for letting the process work, he added.
"Instant gratification is where we are. The process will work. There are some things that have to be changed. There are poll sites that are going to be closed; there are poll sites that are going to be moved, there are issues that have to be addressed and we will address them" Wart said. "That's why we went into a pilot program, to learn those things so we could move forward and take care of those things before the elections next year."
"As you might expect, many legislators are not happy with how the whole election went. I'm not speaking about the machines. I understand the machines did their job, thank God," Legislator Louella LeClair said. "The training was, obviously, a major, major, major problem. I was called all day the next day with horror stories."
The training was expanded, "tripled," this year, Scriber said.
"They received hands-on training regarding the new system with personalized instructions," he said. "I think we more than adequately trained them."
A lot of them probably over-reacted to some things because of the new machines and a new way of doing things, he added.
"How do we train for that, I don't know," he said. "
LeClair told of complaints from poll workers who had to stay at the site until everything was picked up, at one site when the tape came out of the machine there were seven inspectors there "and none of them had a clue what to do with it," and one instance where a poll worker actually cast the ballot for the voter.
"It was not a pretty picture," LeClair said. "That's all I can say."
Legislator Mary Flett said some of the poll workers trying to call in reports told her that they couldn't get through the phone lines.
"With everyone trying to report right after the polls close, does create a problem," Wart said. "Those that get done faster tend to get through, the others get backed up."
Legislator Barb Brown said she had no horror stories from her district. However, when she went to vote, "a gentleman from the other booth came over to me and said he couldn't see," she said. "I think we need portable lights on top of the cubicle things because the lighting in the building isn't set up for spotlighting."
Committee chair Kevin Gardner wondered if some partitions could be put up around the booths. If the machine kicks back someone's ballot, currently, it is possible for someone in line behind them to see who they're voting for, he said.
That is a concern statewide, Scriber replied. It is being addressed at the state level.
"We appreciate those comments. And, we are going to react to them," Scriber said.
"Some of these inspectors saw these tapes for the very first time (on election night)," Wart added. "Did we anticipate that part of the process being as confusing as it was? Absolutely not."
About $16,000 was budgeted for training. The actual cost will likely be closer to $30,000. The commissioners have asked for a budget increase for training for 2010.
It's "unrealistic" to think someone will walk into a new system and not have some sort of problems at the end of the day (which in some cases could be 18 hours) even after training, Wart said.
In 1997, Oswego became the first county to put election results up on the web, Scriber said. That can cause problems as "web" numbers aren't official and can change quite a lot, he continued.
"Human error being human error – what is called in isn't always going to be the right number. People working 17 – 18 hours a day are going to make mistakes," Scriber said. "That is why we have re-canvas. We don't recount, we audit; then we re-canvas and we recount."
Were there results called in on election night (to be posted on the website) that weren't the results on the tape (of the voting machines)? Yes, the commissioners said.
"People make mistakes. They made them last year and the year before. I am not going to beat them up if they read something wrong," Scriber said. "Our job is, the day after, to take the tapes and double check the numbers and make corrections where necessary."
There have always been problems; it just so happens a high-profile race got involved this time, Scriber said referring to the race between Owens and Hoffman.
"But that wasn't the election. The election was people voted, getting their votes recorded, counted, and the certification. Don and I certified today, ahead of schedule. We usually certify after Thanksgiving," Scriber said at Wednesday's committee meeting. "So, I think the process went well; except for a few minor things."
In the future, the county will go totally computerized, Scriber said.
There will be a cost associated with that, he cautioned the legislators.
Legislator Barry Leemann, chair of the legislature, told the commissioners that he received an e-mail from someone in Scriba saying they had never seen a better run election; it was easy to get in and out (of the Scriba fire barn).

The child welfare system is only as good as the people who provide services to children and families and those who manage and direct service delivery. Building a stable and effective workforce continues to be a challenge for many child welfare agencies across the country. Worker turnover, hiring "freezes," and the lack of qualified applicants are among the factors frequently cited as barriers to effective service delivery. The resources in this section describe the workforce crisis in child welfare and its impact on services and outcomes, review efforts to address the crisis, including State and local examples, and provide insights into a range of workforce-related topics, including organizational culture, managing the workforce, supervision, recruitment and hiring, and workforce retention. Tools for building a stable and competent workforce also are included.

Great Egret

Great captured.ReplyDelete
I have seen only the small Egret here.
Lovely! You so often see images of them hunting in the wetland but I don't think I've seen one from this beautiful pose. Nice.ReplyDelete
Great photos.ReplyDelete
So many birds have such thin and fragile looking legs. Makes you wonder how they don't break when you see the speed some of them land.
Thanks for commenting Tabib, Vickie and John.ReplyDelete
Nice shots, Mick. I see Great Egrets fairly regularly here in the Houston area, but rarely perched or roosting in trees. It's nice to see them in a different environment than what you are used to.ReplyDelete
Great capture Mick as he balanced on the bough. My only shot in UK many, many years ago on 'film' was a white shape thro' fog!ReplyDelete
WOW Mick - great picture. There's something rather odd about seeing Egrets up in trees. Cormorants over here nest in trees looking equally odd! I think it must be their size in relation to the branches!ReplyDelete
Hi Kyle, Frank and Tricia. Great Egrets nest in trees (according to the bird books) but I hadn't seen one in a tree before - and especially not walking so gracefully along the branch.ReplyDelete
These are beautiful pictures of the Great Egret! Wonderfully captured!ReplyDelete
Great tight rope walking egret!ReplyDelete
Great capture of the Great Egret Mick! I think it's cool to see them in the trees and in flight. They are such beautiful birds.ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting April, Dawn and Larry.ReplyDelete

Big 12 Sports.com Correspondent
The Big 12 Conference's public service announcement regarding its partnership with Special Olympics suggests that when life throws you a curve ball, swing for the fences.
Joel Klatt's dreams of a baseball career ended with too many bus rides and too many 0-for-4s. After two years in the minor-leagues, a home run swing ended up with a walk on chance at Colorado. Four years later, he was one of the school's most successful quarterbacks.
A native of Arvada, Colo, the 26-year-old Klatt was selected as the Buffaloes' Big 12 Legend. He will be honored along with the other 11 Legends the weekend of the Dr. Pepper Football Championship game in Kansas City Dec. 5-6.
"With all the great players that have played at Colorado, I was humbled to be selected as the school's legend," Klatt said. "I grew up watching Colorado. I became a walk on trying to find a way to better my life and get a college degree."
Klatt signed with the San Diego Padres out of high school in 2001. His contract included a signing bonus plus the Padres would pay for his college education.
"I had every intention to be a professional baseball player," he said. "But that was easier said than done. I wasn't mature enough as a player or as a man to be on my own. The level of high school baseball in Colorado wasn't that high and I had never dealt with failure. Baseball is a failure sport."
Ironically, Klatt's inability to succeed in baseball set him up for his chance at football.
Klatt had played high school football and had grown up loving the sport (his father was his high school coach). With his college education paid for, he went seeking a place to play football. The search took him to Shawn Watson, who at the time was Colorado's offensive coordinator and is now at Nebraska in the same capacity.
"I was looking for schools that were good to walk ons," Klatt said. "I was looking for a Division II or Division III school."
Klatt was shocked when Watson suggested that Klatt should walk on with the Buffaloes.
It didn't take long for Klatt, who ran an option offense while in high school, to make an impression.
"He threw the ball more in our first practice than he did his entire high school career," said Gary Barnett, who was Colorado's coach during Klatt's time with the Buffaloes. "When he was on campus that first summer, throwing with the players during workouts, they all told me how much they respected him. He was a leader."
In 2003 as a sophomore, Klatt made his first start against Colorado State. It was a memorable debut. He completed 21-of-34 passes for 402 yards and four touchdowns in the Buffaloes' 42-35 victory.
Klatt started 34 games for the Buffaloes and is the school's career leader in passing yards (7,375), touchdown passes (44) and completion percentage (.608). He is second in school history in total offense.
The end of his career was not what he wanted. Late in the Buffaloes' 70-3 loss to Texas in the 2005 Dr Pepper Football Championship game, Klatt was clocked by Texas' Drew Kelson, whose helmet caught Klatt flush on the chin. Mike Tyson never had a stronger knockout. It turned out to be Klatt's final game.
"To this day I don't have any recollection of the day, what led up to the game," Klatt said. "The first thing I can remember is waking up in a Houston hospital the next morning."
When he visited a neurologist after the Texas game, Klatt was told that he had just suffered his 10th concussion.
"I had done a pretty good job of hiding things," Klatt said. "He started explaining the symptoms and we went back and figured out that I had been suffering concussions. Less violent hits were causing more and more damage."
Klatt's initial reaction to the doctor's diagnosis was "Can I play again?" Sara, his wife of seven months, was relieved when he was not cleared to play in the Champs Sports Bowl game.
Klatt works for Denver-based Eagle Equity, a real estate investment company. He raises capital and finds investors for the company.
That's his day job. As a side gig, he's doing television work. He appears weekly on Fox Sports Net's Big 12 Showcase and has worked as an analyst on some Colorado telecasts and some Arena Football League games.
"I would love to take that as far it goes," said Klatt, who got his degree in economics. "I really enjoy it, I've got a passion for the game of football. I learned the game and I love to pass that knowledge along to fans and viewers."

EPA Denies Petitions
Disputing Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Findings
Sierra Club Applauds EPA Action to Protect Public Health and Environment
Washington, D.C. - The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today denied petitions by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and nine other groups to reconsider the 2009 Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases section of the Clean Air Act (the "Endangerment Finding"). After careful review of the petitions, the EPA reinforced that climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions threatens public health and the environment, and that the scientific evidence supporting the Endangerment Finding is sound. The Sierra Club issued the following statement in response to the EPA announcement.
Statement of Michael Brune, Sierra Club Executive Director
"Today, the EPA took the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other climate deniers to school. Lisa Jackson's announcement demonstrates once again the undeniable scientific evidence linking greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants to climate change and public health issues.
The science supporting the Endangerment Finding of the Clean Air Act remains strong and has been reinforced by recent additional major assessments and individual scientific studies, effectively debunking the petitioners' claims that the science underlying the EPA's determination was flawed or corrupted.
The evidence for the argument against the Endangerment Finding is simply not there. Nor is there support from the public for such claims.
Conservationists, members of labor community, veterans, small businesses, communities of faith, and everyday citizens all agree that something must be done to reduce global warming pollution.
The Sierra Club strongly supports EPA efforts to protect the public health and the environment, and we applaud the EPA for taking action today to ensure clean air for our communities."

China trumps Near East for signs of most ancient farm cats
Earliest evidence found for grain as a force in feline domestication
Housecat history has unexpectedly leapt from the Near East into ancient China.
Small cats hunted grain-thieving rodents around the farming village of Quanhucun in central China about 5,300 years ago, reports Yaowu Hu of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. The Chinese cats may not be the oldest signs of beginning domestication or the source for today's domesticated cats. But they do give the earliest evidence of grain farming as the possible pathway to domestication, Hu and his colleagues report December 16 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The location "couldn't have been more surprising," says study coauthor Fiona Marshall of Washington University in St. Louis, who studies animal domestication.
Eight cat bones from the village are more than 3,000 years older than any other evidence in China of cat domestication, she says. Feline

Norma;On your formula sheet it shows the malt as being DIASTATIC. This is an active, (enzyme active) malt that should only be used with a non-malted flour, and even then, the recommended use level is only 0.25% of the total flour weight, not 2% as your formula shows. If the malt was non-diastatic you could use it at the 2% level without any problem. High malt levels will always result in a gummy, wet crumb structure, and in some cases it may also inhibit oven spring. My advice is to totally eliminate the diastatic malt form your dough formula.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Norma, I ate most of the leftover pie last night. I think it was better reheated in the toaster oven than fresh. Nice and crispy on the bottom, but maybe a little greasy too, but not too much so. The crumb didn't get any lighter though, and I know that's what you were hoping for.
Norma,Your Sicilian certainly looks handsome. I am really liking the sauce stripes, reminds me of my hometown pizzeria. I am not sure I could add anything more to what John and Tom said about the malt. The only other thought I had to get maximum lightness, regardless of the recipe, would be to par-bake your crust.
Looks like a solid recipe Norma. I cant wait to see your results Tues.
Norma, I am certain it will work out great. Say, are you still planning on using the lard to grease the pan or are you going to change up your "bench oil" (I am not sure if that is the correct term but i am going with it )?

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. - A Central Florida grandmother said a bad haircut is ruining her life, and now she's demanding money from the salon for her "pain and suffering."
Vyunda Bradshaw said she wants $1,000 after the stylist at Great Clips gave her a bad cut.
"I attend church regularly, I have a social life, I can't go anywhere with my hair looking like this," she said.
Strips of her hair are gone, she has a bald spot and there's uneven shaping all around after she said the stylist used clippers.
"I said, 'You can't use the clippers, you need to use the scissors,' she said, 'I'm blending.' She stepped this way and that's when she took my hair off," Bradshaw said.
Michelle Bates, the general manager at the Great Clips, told Local 6 off-camera that the haircut is unacceptable; that's why she offered Bradshaw free hair products, fired the stylist who did the damage and gave Bradshaw $60 to buy a wig.
"I told her I don't wear wigs, it's 97-degree weather," Bradshaw said. "With the wig it's going to be 125 degrees and I'm going to pass the heck out."
The salon told Local 6 they cannot give Bradshaw the money she is demanding.
Bradshaw said she will not be going back, and she hopes her hair will be back to normal in about three months.
"I take pride in my hair. My appearance means a lot to me, but now somebody looks at me they might think I'm a man with my hair all cut off like that," she said.
The salon also offered Bradshaw free weekly visits but she declined.

Last week I was lucky enough to escape my office in London for a day out at the Museum in Tring. Just 35 minutes after boarding a train at Euston, I arrived at Tring station and was picked up for the 2-mile drive to Walter Rothschild's former home.
Of course Tring wasn't just Walter's home: it was home to his extensive private collection of natural history specimens, as well as a menagerie of live animals including cassowaries, kangaroos, tortoises and zebras. Many of those animals - after they had died their natural deaths - went on to become specimens in the Museum, which his family bequeathed to the nation following Walter's death in 1937.
Kangaroos in Tring Park in the early 1900s (left), and now on display in the Museum (right).
Today, the Museum retains its unique Victorian character, and many of the 4,000 specimens in the galleries are still arranged in the very particular way Walter had dictated during his life. It really is a museum of a museum.
A gallery photographed in 1910 (top), and many of the same specimens displayed in much the same way more than 100 years later (bottom).
During my day out at Tring I was treated to a guided behind the scenes tour of the specimen storage and preparation areas. From the spirit collection (which numbers around 17,000 jars; the oldest specimen being a Hawaiian honeycreeper collected by Captain Cook in 1772), to the room where flesh eating beetles clean up bird carcasses in readiness for storage in the skeleton collection (as can be seen on our YouTube channel here). I even got to take a peek into Walter's personal library, where the ironwork on the upper floor is modelled after the Eiffel Tower.
Part of the spirit collection (top), and flesh eating beetles at work (bottom).
The scientists and curators I met proudly informed me that Tring boasts the largest ornithological library in the world, and holds the second largest collections in the world of bird skins (750,000 pieces, which represents 95% of all known species) and bird eggs (around 300,000 clutches, which represents 52% of all known species). Oh, and its collection of 4,000 bird nests is housed in the longest run of roller rack in Europe (15m).
Prepared bird skins in the drying rack. The skins are wrapped around cotton wool and a popsicle stick.
Out from behind the scenes and into the public galleries, Tring is a marvel. Walter's original floor-to-ceiling, glass-fronted hardwood and iron cabinets are almost bursting with an overwhelming array of mounted specimens. And it is this sense of history, variety and eccentricity that make Tring such a special and wonderful place.

Simon Pegg (born Simon John Beckingham; 14 February 1970) is an English actor, comedian, writer, film producer and director. He is best known for his starring roles in Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, the comedy series Spaced and his portrayal of Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the 2009 Star Trek film. Much of his major work has been in collaboration with some combination of Nick Frost, Jessica Hynes, Dylan Moran and Edgar Wright.
Pegg was born in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, England, the son of Gillian Rosemary (née Smith), a civil servant, and John Henry Beckingham, a jazz musician and keyboard salesman. His parents divorced when he was seven and he took on the surname "Pegg" after his mother re-married. He attended many schools, including Castle Hill Primary School, Brockworth Comprehensive Secondary School, King's School Gloucester, and later Stratford-upon-Avon College to study English literature and performance studies. Pegg studied drama at the University of Bristol and wrote his undergraduate thesis on "A Marxist overview of popular 1970s cinema and hegemonic discourses". At Bristol he appeared in a Drama Society production of Howard Barker's Victory alongside Sarah Kane and David Greig.
In 1993, Pegg moved to London and performed on the stand-up comedy circuit. In 1995, he took his acclaimed one-man show to the Edinburgh Festival, which led to his being invited to perform at festivals in Adelaide and Melbourne in Australia and Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in New Zealand, which he did in 1996 and 1997. His work as a stand up attracted the attention of several TV producers, leading to appearances in Asylum, Six Pairs of Pants, Faith in the Future, Big Train and Hippies. From 1998 to 2004, Pegg regularly featured on BBC Radio 4's The 99p Challenge. In 1999, he created and co-wrote the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced with Jessica Stevenson. For this project Pegg brought in Nick Frost, his best friend. For his performance in this series, Pegg was nominated for a British Comedy Award as Best Male Comedy Newcomer. Pegg co-wrote (with Spaced director Edgar Wright) and starred in the "romantic zombie comedy" film Shaun of the Dead, released in April 2004. At George A. Romero's invitation, Pegg and Wright made cameo appearances in Romero's film, Land of the Dead. In 2004, Pegg also starred in a spin-off of the television show Danger! 50,000 Volts! called Danger! 50,000 Zombies!, in which he played a zombie hunter named Dr. Russel Fell.

"When we used text-messaging to collect drinking data and to offer immediate feedback and support to young adults discharged from the emergency department, they drank less," said lead study author Brian Suffoletto, M.D., M.S., assistant professor of emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh in Pa. "Each day in the U.S., more than 50,000 adults ages 18 to 24 visit hospital emergency departments and more than a third of them report current alcohol abuse or dependence. If not addressed, hazardous or binge drinking can lead to high rates of avoidable injuries and death."
Researchers enrolled 45 adults ages 18 to 24 who were discharged from three emergency departments in a 12-week trial of a text-messaging based program. Almost half of the young adults who were screened through a computer-based survey indicated hazardous drinking behavior. Over the course of the study, participants assigned to both assessment and intervention groups reported that they drank an average of 1.6 days per week and a maximum of 3.8 drinks per drinking day.
Participants in both groups received a series of standard, automated text message queries each week about the frequency of their drinking and quantity consumed. In the intervention group, men who reported more than five drinks during any 24-hour period and women who reported more than four received a text message expressing concern about those levels and asking if the participant would be willing to set a goal to reduce drinking for the week. Those who said yes then received messages expressing positive reinforcement and strategies for cutting down. Those who refused to set goals received a text message encouraging them to reflect on the decision.
At three months, participants who received the text-message intervention had 3.4 fewer heavy drinking days in the preceding month and 2.1 fewer drinks per drinking day when compared to baseline. The assessment group, however, increased their drinking over the course of the study, which is inconsistent with prior studies showing a reduction in drinking in patients that undergo assessments, the researchers noted. They speculated that the frequent text messaging might have raised the awareness of alcohol use by the participants and improved the accuracy of their responses.
"Because we used an automated computer system, our intervention has the ability to provide text-messaging based feedback and support at large scale with minimal cost," said Dr. Suffoletto. "Although larger studies are still needed to verify the efficacy and feasibility of this type of program, this appears to be a promising approach that could save the lives of young adults nationwide."
The Emergency Medicine Foundation's research grant to Dr. Suffoletto was funded by the Century Council, a not-for-profit organization supported by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. For more than 35 years, the EMF has funded innovative clinical and laboratory research.
The Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) mission is to support emergency medicine research and education in order to improve patient care and practice. EMF was created in 1972 as a 501(c)(3) charitable foundation to expand the body of knowledge necessary to advance the specialty of emergency medicine. To date, EMF has awarded nearly $10 million in research awards to advance emergency medicine science and to develop emergency medicine researchers. Through research, its support of continuing education programs and the nurturing of young researchers, the Foundation is able to benefit the millions of patients who rely on quality emergency care. To learn more about EMF, please contact Cynthia Singh at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-800-798-1822 x3217.

Don't Avoid The Mokena Dentist Through Stigma Induced Fear
Mokena Dentist may just have one of the oddest jobs on the planet. They clean and repair your mouth area for the ultimate dental health benefit and their payment for this vital function….. to be universally feared and hated by almost every person in the world, particularly by children.
This is why so many dental clinics now have designated play areas with cheerfully bright toys for children to enjoy and colorful stickers they can earn only after allowing the dentist to look at their pearly whites.
At one time though, this wasn't the case, there was very little choice when it came to deciding which dentist to use, which meant that a visit to a dentist was done only in times of pain and discomfort. Times have certainly changed and there are now an ever increasing number from which to make your selection, all of whom are in competition for your business, meaning they bend over backwards to make your visit as pleasurable as it can be.
How can a trip to the dentists be pleasurable?
Because of the very nature of dentistry it is important that the clinic is made to feel like a relaxing and pleasant place to visit. However, it wasn't always like this. In my youth, as I'm sure many of you would agree, dental clinics were almost always thought of in the same way, as torture chambers.
My first experience of going to the dentist was of being dragged screaming and kicking into my local surgery by my mother to endure a filling, much to my disapproval. Unfortunately, the stigma of that first visit stays with you for a long time and in some cases never leaves you. Nowadays kids get it very easy, thankfully.
Mokena Dentists and their assistants are now extremely well trained in dealing with nervous and frightened patients, particularly children, as well as dentistry, making visits as pleasurable, or should I say tolerable, as is possible.
The bottom line is that your teeth are vitally important to you and the only person who can help you keep them healthy and in good working condition is the dentist, so get rid of the fear and make sure you get regular check-ups.

Photos and beer can trail lead to arson arrest
by Tena Starr
ALBANY — An Albany firefighter, who allegedly told police he has a problem with fire and needs help, has been accused of trying to burn down his own department.
Elmer Joerg, 45, of Holland pled innocent last week in the Criminal Division of Orleans Superior Court to a count of second degree arson and another of reckless endangerment. He was held on $250,000 bail.
The fire, which occurred at about 1 a.m. on August 11, ruined all of the Albany department's vehicles and much of their equipment. The department is back in business, though, due to the generosity of other communities that have donated everything from helmets to trucks.
Police affidavits say that a trail of Natural Light beer cans, as well as game cameras set up in the fire station, led investigators to Mr. Joerg.
The game cameras were set up because of an earlier gasoline theft. Although they were damaged in the fire, the photos were eventually recovered and included several images of an individual inside the firehouse at the time of the fire.
When Albany Fire Chief Donald Peters looked at the pictures he told investigators he believed the man might, in fact, be one of his firefighters. He identified the man as Elmer "Jim" Joerg, Lieutenant James Cruise of the State Police Fire Investigation Unit says in his affidavit. Mr. Peters also had gone by the Joerg residence and noticed an ATV in the yard that matched the description of an ATV a neighbor saw leaving the scene of the fire, police say.
Last Tuesday Chief Peters scheduled a mandatory meeting for all fire department members, in part to regroup and familiarize themselves with their new equipment. Also, a State Police fire investigator individually questioned firefighters, both past and present, in the hope of shedding some light on the fire.
Mr. Joerg was the only Albany Fire Department member who did not attend the meeting. Investigators were told that Mr. Joerg had been taken to the hospital by ambulance the day before with an unknown illness and was in a coma.
Sergeant Jeremy Hill and Lieutenant Cruise went to Mr. Joerg's home where Jacqueline Joerg said her husband was still in the hospital. She indicated that she did not know the nature of his illness, but it could have been an overdose of some sort or a suicide attempt, she told police.
Mrs. Joerg told police her husband had been very upset that "someone could have started a fire at the station and destroyed all the equipment."
Investigators found a number of Natural Light beer cans in a barrel on the Joergs' porch and more on the ground in front of his car. Later they saw a Natural Light can on the side of the road on the Hitchcock Hill Road in Albany and took it as evidence, noting the "born on" date was the same as that on the cans at Mr. Joerg's house.
On another trip between the Joerg house and the fire station they noticed a second Natural Light can, again with the same "born on" date as those at the Joergs' home.
On August 14, the day after the fire department meeting, police investigators were able to interview Mr. Joerg at North Country Hospital. He initially denied being involved in setting any fire at the Albany fire station.
But when police explained to him that they had pictures, his beer cans, and that his ATV and jackets matched those witnesses saw, "He bowed his head and was nodding yes and finally agreed that it was him," Lieutenant Cruise's affidavit says.
Mr. Joerg allegedly told police he'd gone to the station on his ATV and used his firefighter's access code to get into the back door of the station. He'd forgotten to bring a lighter with him, so he used the kitchen stove to set some paper on fire, lit cardboard with that, and ultimately lit the cab of fire engine number one, he allegedly told police.
Mr. Joerg said he then fled the scene and later returned as an Albany firefighter.
Monica Grondin told State Police Fire Investigator Detective Sergeant David Sutton she saw someone inside the firehouse about 1:15 that morning. After leaving the building, he started his ATV and drove along the shoulder of Main Street past her home with the headlights off, she said.
In the course of the first interview with investigators, Mr. Joerg allegedly told them "he set the fire because he had a problem with fire and thinks about setting fires often, and has urges to set fires that he is usually able to control.
"He also advised that he is a danger because he set this fire and admitted that he would not have minded dying in this fire," Lieutenant Cruise says in his affidavit.
Police interviewed Mr. Joerg a second time, and he went into more detail, saying he'd also tried to set fire to the rescue vehicle.
He also allegedly said that he'd panicked and pulled down the smoke alarm in the building.
Mr. Joerg said he'd set about seven fires over the past ten years but no one had been injured in them, police said.
His criminal record includes charges in Vermont, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.
He has been charged with giving false information to a police officer and possession of marijuana in Vermont.
In the late 1980s, in New Jersey, he was convicted of sexual assault, arson and larceny. A charge of making a terrorist threat was reduced to disorderly conduct.
In Rhode Island in the 1990s Mr. Joerg pled no contest to assault with a deadly weapon and breaking and entering.
If released from jail, Mr. Joerg is ordered by the court to have no contact with any member of the Albany Fire Department and to stay at last 300 feet away from the fire station.
A competency and sanity evaluation has been ordered.

ERBIL, Iraq, May 14 (UPI) -- A few members of the separatist Kurdistan Workers' Party crossed the Turkish border to Iraq as part of a broader withdrawal, a member said Tuesday.
Abdullah Ocalan, jailed leader of the outlaw group known by its Kurdish initials PKK, following talks with Turkish officials in March called on PKK fighters to leave Turkey.
A group of 13 men and women crossed the Turkish border into northern Iraq. Fighters who spoke with al-Jazeera Tuesday said they were delayed because of heavy rains and snow in the mountainous region.
Turkish military officials said Monday they hadn't seen any evidence that PKK fighters were leaving the country. PKK commanders set May 8 as the start of the withdrawal process.
PKK spokesman Ciger Gewker was quoted by al-Jazeera as saying they wanted Turkish officials to honor their end of the bargain.
"We ask the Turkish side to be sincere with us so we can achieve the common interest," he said. "The next step is up to Turkey. If they deal with our move in a positive manner it will be quicker."
The Turkish government offered no security guarantees to PKK fighters. They didn't disarm as part of the withdrawal process.

antique_maggie Posts: 10My family and I (Me, hubby, and baby) are taking a trip over the labor day weekend and are taking our '92 s 10 blazer since my '94 astrovan is in need of a water pump. "Maggie" (as she is affectionately called) has about 160k on her, we've owned her 3.5 years, and I'd like to know what kind of mpg an "antique" her age should be getting, assuming she's in good running shape. She drives fine, is good on the highway, and other than some valve covers needing replaced, is overall a good running blazer. Should I get her in for a tune up before we leave, will that increase the mpg any? Or is it not worth the money for a tune up and can we get away with just a few small things (pleeeese say yes!, that van is driving us near BROKE!). I'm sure an oil change will get done, and the air filter too. To shorten this, I just want to get the most mpg out of her without spending so much before a short trip. Someone PLEASE help, I've got a car parts salesman for a hubby, and sometimes (though I'd never say it to him) he likes to tell me Maggie needs things that I think she might be able to do without just so he can "play".....;0) Set me straight! Thanks!
johnss10 Posts: 46Like the others say, I get about 21-22 on the interstate with my 98 Blazer 4.3 V6. Mileage went up 2-3 MPG, from 18, after I had the front end aligned0
I have a 1998 Blazer 4.3L with about 130,000 miles on it.Last winter the gas mileage went way down, I had figured that when it warmed up I would see an increase in my mileage. Before my mileage went to heck I could get 20 mpg on a good day on the highway. Now I am lucky to get 13 mpg on the highway driving like I have an egg under the gas peddle.
With the price of gas I would really like to get it back to around 20 mpg on the highway.
I took it in and had a complete tune up I am talking everything Plugs, wires cap, rotor etc. I thought that would take care of the mileage probelm but it didn't it appears to be getting worste, now I happened to noticed that if you hit the gas hard it feels like it chugs so I took it back and everything they did checks out ok so now they are going to do a fuel pressure test to see if it is something with the fuel system.
I guess I am wondering is this the next step they should take? I do trust the place I have it worked on I just don't want to throw good money away just replacing parts.
Has anyone else had this problem with the gas mileage going to crap on them and what did they do ro fix it short of buy another SUV.
This little Blazer of mine has been awesome it has never gave me any problems until now I Like how I can get around out in the back country with the 4 wheel drive.
Like I said I am just tired of wasting gas when I should be getting alot better mileage than I am.
Any Idea's would be great. Thanks in Advance.0

I kind of thought that too a Long time ago I had Car that had one the only thing it didn't do is chug like my Blazer does.
The place that works on it called awhile ago and said it isn't a fuel pressure issue it checked out fine. They are still looking for the problem. They sound like they are going to eat the cost of looking for the problem I will have to wait and see if it really happens. I had spent a bunch of money on it already with a new intake and tune up.0
pcgeek Posts: 6I get a solid 22 MPG driving locally. Highway is slightly better, but I tend to push 75 MPH on the road, if you hold it to 70 or lower you should hit about 25 MPG...0

Welcome back to the tanking of the great, big, fiery guy waiting for you at the end of the Firelands instance. Hopefully you've had some fun with the big lug already and let's hope that we'll manage to land a kill together.
So last week, we took a break due to the length of the fight and we stopped after that little intermission phase after phase one which should be very familiar to those of you that have taken him on in his original incarnation. You've got to wonder a bit what the hell he's doing when he's out of sight though, as if he figures that it's better to take a little break instead of beating on you incessantly.
But I digress.
Moving on to phase two, something new that he'll toss out at you is an ability he'll throw out at intervals where he'll lay down a huge amount of fire across the platform, leaving sections of the platform on fire that definitely does not give you any delicious candy.
It's not really too special so just keep an eye on it and keep light on your feet.
Additionally, once a minute during this phase, Ragnaros will spawn a bunch of seeds on a number of raid members. As the tank, move with your raid until all of the seeds are placed and again, stay with your raid as you all move to the other side of the platform as the seeds will detonate and spawn adds that must be AoE'd down in time for the next batch of seeds that will spawn.
Arguably, the most important part of this phase is to not get caught at the edges of the platform when his Sulfuras Smash occurs or you might end up getting knocked off of the platform.
Once Ragnaros hits 40%, another intermission phase will occur which is pretty much the same as the first intermission phase save for a couple additional adds. So see the previous article for a refresher and once he returns from wherever he's taken himself off to, we'll have our final phase for the normal encounter.
During this final phase, he will still use his Sulfuras Smash and his Engulfing Flames so keep an eye out for them and avoid them accordingly.
His new ability here is when he begins to spawn large meteors that begin to chase people around. The problem is that as the phase goes on, more and more meteors begin to spawn, functioning as a soft enrage for the phase as eventually, there won't be the room to avoid them anymore.
Keep your eye on the ball and on all of the other very large balls wandering around. Even if a ball isn't chasing you directly, if someone foolishly runs a little too close to you while being chased and has the misfortune of being caught, that'll spell the end for you as well so keep those eyes open and best of luck with this final encounter.

Go Army. Beat Navy.
When it comes to the big rivalry game versus Navy approaches, the Army offense looks as prepared as ever. In the upcoming weeks the offense has a few kinks to work out, but they will stick to what has been working all season. After eliminating major errors (turnovers, penalties, miscommunications, etc.) the offense was able to once again productively put points on the board which is promising for the season finale. The defense, on the other hand, is an entirely different story and too often negates the plus side of having the nation's top rushing offense.
As seen on army.rivals.com
Temple Owns the Day
The Temple Owls visited the Black Knights at Michie stadium Saturday for the last home match up of the season. The Owls put on a show for the 27,019 fans in attendance, but not the kind of show Army fans were expecting. The Owls managed to beat the Black Knights at their own game, rushing for 534 yards compared to Army's 407 yards. The Owls' 565 total yards led to 63 points, while the Knights could only manage to put up 32 points. Temple's Montel Harris managed to rush for an astounding 351 yards and seven touchdowns, two feats never before seen at Michie stadium, explaining why the Knights were fighting uphill the whole game.
Offense Fights an Uphill Battle
Whenever a team is able to score 63 points in one game, a win is almost inevitable. The Army offense scored a 'healthy' 32 points, but couldn't match the power of the Temple offense. But then again, what offense could?
In general, the offense played well with nearly 500 yards of total offense including 88 passing yards. The Black Knights won the "passing battle" as quarterback Trent Steelman threw 3 completions on 7 attempts, while backup Trent Steelman A.J. Schurr completed his only attempt. The quarterbacks found multiple targets, hitting Chevaughn Lawrence, E.J. Tucker, Malcolm Brown, and Patrick Laird each one time. Lawrence's reception went for 47 yards and even gave the Black Knights a brief glimmer of hope in the fourth quarter.
As is the norm, the rushing game for Army was very spread out, with nine different players getting touches. Trent Steelman and fullback Larry Dixon each rushed for over 100 yards and slotback Raymond Maples contributed 94 yards over 15 attempts, that brought his season total to 1,059. Dixon broke two long runs of 37 yards and 43 yards helping Army with quality field position. Both these drives managed to produce points, contributing to the 32 points the Black Knights put on the scoreboard on Saturday. Steelman made his way into the end zone three times moving him up atop the all-time rushing touchdowns list with 44, where the captain surpassed the previous mark set by Heisman Trophy winner, Glenn Davis. Brown also contributed one score later in the contest.
Positive Outing for the Offense
The Army offense played well overall. Towards the beginning of the game, two strong drives were cut short by costly penalties that stopped scoring opportunities. The first offensive possession appeared promising, but when a clipping penalty was called the offense couldn't recover from second and long and was forced to punt. Similarly, an intentional grounding call hurt the momentum of the offense, but Eric Osteen was able to hit on a 37 yard field goal to put Army within 4, but unfortunately this was the closest the Black Knights were all game.

I see so many posts in line and hear so many conversations calling names at people who disagree with them politically or even doctrinealy or wishing them ill or making up so called funny put downs or even wishes for their hurt . if you say you are a Christian should it matter what God's word says about things? Things like Exodus 22:28 THOU SHALT NOT revile the gods, nor CURSE THE RULER OF THY PEOPLE. Act 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, THOU SHALT SPEAK NO EVIL OF THE RULER OF THY PEOPLE OR Jude 1:8
Does Romans 12:14 BLESS AND CURSE NOT. apply for us today?
1Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. ... Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Matthew 25:40 & 45
Eph 6:
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
The problem, of course, is that "Flesh and Blood" are physically PRESENT. The Islamic zealot that cuts your head off for the "glory of Allah" is there as big as life and twice as ugly, but the Demonic entity that DRIVES the poor fool to commit his atrocities isn't. Same goes for "Aunt Jane", and her vicious personality, and sharp tongue.
The REAL ISSUE - the "Principalities and Powers" are invisible, and find it expeditious to remain so. And so if we're going to BE "angry", then "Flesh and Blood" are our obvious targets.
The OTHER issue is the "Babel effect". THE LAST THING that we'd want NOW is a UNIFIED Visible Church possessing actual POLITICAL power in it's present state of ignorant flesh-driven infancy. Consider how "Christ like" the Romanist Church was when it had armies, and political clout. There will come the time when the MATURE Church of Ephesians 4 will exist. BUT all we've got now are world wide warring factions - lot's of "Building blocks" - but no "Building".

Grades are available through the student information web site approximately 24 hours after the date that grades are due in the Office of the University Registrar. Any change of grades submitted will also appear as they are received and processed in the Office of the University Registrar. To access your grades enter:
Questions about the actual grade awarded should be directed to the individual instructor or the department chairperson.
If you have any outstanding financial obligations to the University, your grade mailer will be held in the Enrollment Services Office until your account is paid in full. You cannot receive your grade report or transcript until payment arrangements are complete. Once your financial hold has been released, you must notify this office so that we may release your grades.
The Following Grades Carry No Quality Points:
G - Unfinished course work - Course work unfinished because of extenuating personal circumstances
H - Honors (exceptional) completion of course requirements
I - Incomplete - Incomplete course work due to the nature of the course, clinical work, or incomplete research work in individual guidance courses or seminars
N - Audit - Non-credit
R - Resignation - Student resigned from the University
S - Satisfactory - Satisfactory completion of course requirements
U - Unsatisfactory - Unsatisfactory completion of course requirements
W - Withdrawal
Z - Invalid grade - Invalid grade reported
** - No grade - No grade reported
To withdraw from a course after the official end of the add/drop period while still enrolled in other courses, you must process a Withdrawal Request form through the Enrollment Services Office. If approved, a grade of "W" will be recorded on your grade report and transcript for that course. "W" grades do not count toward a student's degree, quality point average, or academic progress for purposes of financial aid eligibility. There is no tuition adjustment associated with a course withdrawal.
A "G" grade is given by an instructor when course work is unfinished because of extenuating personal circumstances. When given a "G" grade, you are usually instructed to complete some clearly defined work (e.g. a final examination paper) within a specified period of time. The "G" must be completed no later than one year after the term or session in which the course was taken. You should not request or be given a "G" grade if, in actuality, you need to repeat the course. See "Course Repeat" for more information.
Once the deadline has passed, a "G" grade will remain on your record and you will be required to register for the course again, if the course is needed to fulfill requirements for graduation. Contact your instructor for details regarding the issuance of a "G" grade.
An "I" grade is also issued by the instructor, and differs from a "G" grade. It is issued in the case of ongoing study such as incomplete research, work in individual guidance courses, clinical work or seminars.
If a course is missing from your transcript, it will be necessary for you to have a Grade Change Form sent to the instructor who taught the course. Bring the Registration or Add/Drop Form which verifies your registration for the course to the Enrollment Services Office. A Supplemental Grade Card will be mailed to the department offering the course for issuance of a grade if appropriate. If a course appears on your transcript or grade mailer with "**" designation, the Office of the University Registrar will follow up with the appropriate academic center to secure your grade (See "Grade Report" for more information.)
You should consult the Enrollment Services Office for the proper procedure to follow for repeating a course and for information on how this will affect your grades and the calculation of your Quality Point Average (QPA). When you repeat a course, you must officially register and pay for the course again. University policy prohibits any student from attending a course without being officially registered for that course. If you repeat a course, the course will appear on your transcript twice.

Agence France Presse reports — A headteacher in the Georgian city of Rustavi has found an unusual way to get children's early education off the ground -- by transforming an airplane into a kindergarten.
Gari Chapidze bought the old but fully functional Yakovlev Yak-42 from Georgian Airways and refurbished its interior with educational equipment, games and toys but left the cockpit instruments intact so they could be used as play tools.
"The idea was to create a kindergarten where children go with joy," Chapidze said. Read the full story.

Soybean pod counts, however, were 'very ugly.'
What wasn't counted was as important, perhaps, as what was counted when it came to key parts of the Iowa leg of Midwest Crop Tour.
Scouts touring northeast Iowa report vast fields with nothing planted, or at least preventive plantings, forced by late snows that pushed back planting dates to untenable levels, a shocking sight in the nation's No. 1 corn state. Even within fields with otherwise decent yield potential, scouts encountered holes where nothing had been planted.
"The holes are going to tell the story in this state," says Peter Meyer of PIRA Energy Group. He showed the Crop Tour evening meeting in Iowa City a video taken from an airplane of unplanted Iowa fields. "You can see a field that looks like 220 from the road, but the holes are going to have a huge consequence on the market."
Iowa yields came in at 171.94 bu. per acre from 390 samples from each crop reporting district, a major advance from last year's final USDA yield of 137, but with wide regional variation. The yield potential for south central Iowa came in at just 159.63 bu. per acre, while up to 177.11 for the east central crop reporting district. "That's very impressive on the corn side, but very ugly on soybeans," says Chip Flory, Pro Farmer editor and director of the Western Crop Tour.
Listen to a full audio report from crop scout and Iowa farmer Chris Barron:
Iowa soybean pod counts in a three-by-three-foot square came in at just 927.3, far lower than the nearly 1,200 experts believe is necessary for optimal yields. The low spot: just 612.82 in north central Iowa to a high of 1,112.14 in east central, still not all that high, really. The pod robber: late planting.
Even on corn, don't expect the yield number to hold, Flory says, because so much of the crop is immature. "We will lose some of corn's potential. If September's not perfect, the crop will go backwards," he adds.
Scouts only entered fields where corn and soybeans were planted, ignoring those that hadn't been that would skew yield results.
"This crop is late," says Jim Lafrenz, DuPont Pioneer field agronomist for southern Iowa. "Iowa farmers got started a month late, and then got hit by big rains and a cold spell on top of that. When we throw that together, it's a crop that isn't very well along."
He adds, "we're compromising our nitrogen available because of the weather, and these plants are really drawing hard on that nitrogen." Diseases, however, have been minimal expect for a few hot pockets of corn rootworm. The crop also needs serious moisture, and soon, to reach its full potential. "We're six or seven inches below normal for July and August," Lafrenz notes. That has put parts of western Iowa back on the drought monitor.
"We're seeing yellow spots in the fields. Some are bigger than others," he says. "Not just nitrogen deficiency. Some of it was wet pockets. You see smaller ears and lower stand counts. Then you throw on top the nitrogen deficiency, and you may see much less yield."
Boyce Thompson, AgWeb editorial director, contributed to this report.

Thursday night's classic between the Galaxy and the Earthquakes [WATCH HIGHLIGHTS] adds yet another chapter to the long history of memorable — and usually heated — battles between the two sides. It's a true rivalry born of years of scrapping for titles and, at the very least, honor.
But the MLS season boasts plenty of fixtures for which fans eagerly mark their calendars. Some are geographic rivalries, while others evolve naturally simply because the two teams share a dislike — a hatred, perhaps — for one another's fans and players.
It's all in good spirits, though, but which one's the marquee matchup? Which rivalry is a tussle not to be missed? Vote now!

As economies across the globe continue to contract, navies, armies, and air forces are being told, if not, "do more with less" to at least "do the same with less." Proceedings thus asked sea-service commanders around the world: What innovative efficiencies and economies are you implementing, or considering implementing, to improve force readiness?
Vice Admiral Jayanath Colombage
Having comprehensively defeated asymmetric threats of terrorism at sea that deprived Sri Lanka of many economic opportunities and development for three decades, the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) today stands at the threshold of a maritime renaissance. Since 2009, the SLN has shouldered many economic responsibilities and today is an active partner in government initiatives for economic development.
Our navy today looks at the sea lines of communication that traverse our jurisdiction with a renewed vision of security. Ignorance is no longer an excuse; the penalty paid for not safeguarding our oceans and coastline was colossal, both in terms of men and material in the past 30 years. The capacities and capabilities in maritime domain awareness, coastal surveillance, and deep-ocean patrolling that were developed during those troubled times are being put to use despite financial limitations. Our intent is to rely heavily on the combination of an existing network of shore-based sensors and human intelligence for coastal surveillance; we'll upgrade and improve available surveillance systems, fast-attack craft, and inshore patrol craft squadrons, and invest in new offshore-patrol-vessel capacities. Measures also are under way to utilize the research-and-development knowledge and experience gained during the long conflict to enhance capabilities of naval platforms.
Maritime intelligence is another area that has been enhanced with tangible results. Our island nation experienced a surge of illicit migration—driven by economic expectations—and it is through intelligence that the unlawful activities were brought under control.
A plethora of small boats, which played a major role during the last phase of humanitarian operations, remains operationally available for littoral defense while the costly fast-attack craft are kept in reserve for contingencies. Some of our fast passenger craft—normally used to ferry troops—have been effectively employed as pleasure-cruise/sightseeing vessels in seas abundant with whales and dolphins, bringing millions to government coffers.
Having seen what has happened with some foreign navies that did not keep their fleets operational in the face of contingencies, the Sri Lanka Navy continues to thrive because it remembers well the lessons it drew from hard-earned experience.
