A guide to rearing Hatchling Pigeons and Doves (Download)
Daily consumption
As baby birds grow very rapidly, it is difficult to determine the ideal consumption. The capacity of the bird's crop will be the decisive factor. See our guide to fluids here – FLUID CHART FOR BIRDS
The crop milk should be prepared with hot water in sufficient quantity to achieve a creamy texture (about 25% concentration). The concentration should be continuously increased as of Day One. A very low -concentration milk should be provided at the first feed after hatching (approximately 5%); for each of the following feeds the concentration should gradually be increased until it reaches the recommended level. These recommendations are approximate, as each species requires its own specific hand-rearing protocol. With newborns it is important to supply the milk at a temperature as close as possible to the bird's body temperature (39ºC), but without exceeding it, in order to avoid burning the crop.

Auto insurance is compulsory in all states of the United States of America. It is the law and you can be severely penalized if you fail to comply with the requirements. But apart from the legal ramifications, it is also very responsible to have auto insurance. It can help you in times of need, when you do not have anywhere else to look for financial support. We shall now see how you can get a good deal on your auto insurance policy.
The most important thing to do when you want to get insurance is to start researching about it before you buy it. It is important to do all the ground work and understand the basic concepts before you make an investment. Look on the internet for the right deals. Make use of such tools to maximize your investment potential.
A lot of websites offer free insurance quotes. Try getting a couple of these quotes and make a comparative analysis. Once you do this, you will know exactly how far your money will go. It is important to know which companies offer the best deals before you start contacting them. And make sure you set the benefits to the same levels in order to make an effective comparative analysis. A few third party websites will also be able to give you quotes from a number of insurance companies on the same webpage. Try getting onto one such reliable website and formulate your plan of action.
After getting the quotes, the next step is to contact the insurance companies. Set up an appointment and make sure you list out all the questions you intend to ask. It is important that you do this for a number of reasons. One, you will remember exactly what to ask the insurance agent. And two, you will be able to steer the conversation, rather than the other way round. This is important because most insurance agents will try to hard sell their policy and you will not be in a position to negotiate a deal if you do not know what you need. Ask the right questions and drive home your points. This will force the agent to come out with a deal that will best suit your needs and budget.
And when you actually sit down to make the deal, try to negotiate it to match your needs. It is important that you get exactly what you want from your policy. If you need an insurance policy just for the sake of having one, you must go for the lowest premium. You can get this by getting the bare essentials required by the state. But if you need something more, you must get all the added frills that you need.
Try to get tailor made senior citizen insurance or women insurance if you belong to one of the categories. There are also other insurance policies which are dedicated to specific vehicle types like sports car insurance or classic car insurance or even heavy vehicle insurance. And also based on whether you are using the vehicle for personal of business use, you can get commercial auto insurance. It is important that you get such tailor made insurance policies in order to get the most out of the deal that you make.

Thanks for all of your awesome comments on my Labor Day WIAW!
Happy Friday everyone! (Written on Friday Night, posted on Saturday morning… WHOOPS.)
And what a Happy Friday it is! Today I only had one class (Intro to Business… also my shortest!), it isn't too hot (although it just started raining now… fine with me!) and I am geared up and ready for the weekend.
I'm not going home this weekend because: 1. It isn't extended like with Labor Day. 2. I'm trying to go home only every other week. Space is good.
This morning I woke up bright and early at 6:00 am.
Read some blogs.
And made myself a ginormous bowl of quinoa porridge!
Then I read some articles for my class today, ate lunch, and then headed out to talk with my professor before class.

Tonight I don't have much planned except going to eat with one of my friends.
Tomorrow and Sunday is going to be jam-packed with an Arts Festival, homework, homework, homework, homework (4 classes worth) and episode 5 of Sherlock on Sunday night.
As I mentioned before, I read a lot of blogs this morning, and one was somewhat new-ish to me. I've read it before, but not on a daily basis. It was Beyond-Bananas. Such a great name. And looking through her past posts like the good little bloggity-stalker I am, I happened upon this awesome idea: Childhood Food Favorites.
Here is my version:
When I Was A Child…
1. I loved Scooby Doo.
I may or may not have had a Scooby Doo Birthday Party that you can read about on my old blog (???).
2. Pokemon was awesome.
Add to that Power Rangers, Digimon, Yugioh and Dragon Ball Z and you have basically got my Saturday mornings.

3. My favorite combo was Keebler and the Olsen Twins.
Let me explain before you start going off on some rampant/crazy notions. One of my favorite treats as a youngster were the Keebler Fudge Sticks Peanut Butter Cookies.
And then I would lounge on the floor, rereading The New Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley: The Case of the Cheerleading Camp Mystery. Most of the time I actually read this book by the door, so if anyone were to come in I could quickly hide the Keebler cookies.
I was a sneaky one.
4. Wild Watermelon Pop-Tarts
Do you remember these? Maybe not because they discontinued them, but they were the best! Like, even better than Frosted Wild Berry.
I'm serious.
5. Furbies may have been the best/worst thing ever created.

This post has got me thinking of all my favorite childhood food that I will never be able to eat again! I'm thinking a WISH-LIST food page is in order. I'll make a list of my old favorites, and then
slowly overtime I will recreate them to be healthier and allergy-free. WHAT-DO-YOU-THINK?
Tell me at least one of your favorites: childhood favorite food, tv show and toy.
What are your plans for the weekend?

Top Thanksgiving turkey: Brine and roast
In 1999, The Chronicle Food section cooked more than 28 turkeys to find the best method of producing a plump, juicy bird. Our favorite -- by far -- was the turkey that we brined before roasting.
To be sure nothing had changed, we retested the recipe last year and loved the turkey just as much.
Brining produces an incomparably juicy turkey, with wonderful flavor and texture. If you don't have room to brine the turkey in the refrigerator, use an ice chest. Place the turkey and the brine in a heavy-weight plastic garbage bag (don't use bags made from recycled materials), then place that bag inside a second bag. Smoosh out all the air pockets, close the inner bag, then the outer, and pack in the chest with ice. The bird will happily -- and safely -- brine away.
Brining works best with a 12- to 16-pound unstuffed turkey roasted at 400 degrees. If you need to serve more people it's best to roast two smaller turkeys. However, if you do choose to brine a bigger bird, figure that a 20- to 22-pound brined turkey may take 3 1/2-4 1/2 hours to cook. The oven temperature should be the same (350 degrees) as for the unbrined Big Bird instructions that follow.
Here's how to brine the turkey, along with a re-cap of the best way to roast an unbrined turkey, the best way to roast a large turkey, and the best way to grill-roast a turkey -- all unstuffed. We found it's best to bake the stuffing separately, but for the best way to roast a stuffed turkey see the chart elsewhere in this section.
In all cases, roasting times may vary depending on the temperature of the turkey when it goes in the oven, the accuracy of the oven thermostat, how many times you open the oven door and how long you leave it open (each time the door is opened, the oven temperature can drop 75 degrees).
To be sure it's done, the turkey's internal temperature should be 165 degrees at the thickest part of the thigh. When pricked with a fork, the juices should run clear. After taking it out of the oven and before carving it,
let the turkey rest 20-30 minutes; the internal temperature will continue to rise several degrees.
This is the Food staff's favorite turkey. Brine the turkey for 12 to 24 hours, using the accompanying recipe for the brine from Chez Panisse.
Before roasting, rinse and dry the turkey well, and roast according to the directions for the Best Way Traditional turkey, but do not sprinkle the turkey with salt.
Start checking the internal temperature after about 1 1/2 hours of roasting time. If the legs begin to overbrown, cover them loosely with foil. Roast until the internal temperature measured in the thigh reaches 165 degrees, about 2-2 3/4 hours.
If you would like to make gravy with the brined turkey's pan juices, note that they may be very salty, and you may not want to use all of the juices.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread 2 tablespoons of softened butter over the skin and sprinkle 4 1/2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground pepper over the skin and in the cavity. Tuck the wing tips under, loosely truss the legs and place the turkey on a v-shaped rack in a roasting pan. Tent the breast with foil and place the turkey in the oven.
After about 1 hour, remove the foil and baste the turkey with 1/2 cup stock. Re-baste it with pan drippings and more stock, if desired, every 20 minutes.
Roast the turkey until the internal thigh temperature reaches 165 degrees, 1 3/4-2 1/4 hours.
Brine the turkey according to the accompanying recipe, then rinse and dry the turkey well. Rub the skin with 2 tablespoons of softened butter and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper on the skin and inside the cavities.
Prepare a covered grill with a charcoal fire, centering an aluminum or metal drip pan directly under the grill and arranging the coals on either side.
Place some liquid -- water, stock or wine -- in the pan to create steam during grilling. If you want to smoke the turkey, soak applewood chips as directed on the package, then sprinkle a handful over the hot coals.
Place the prepared turkey on the grill, close the cover and cook the turkey until the internal thigh temperature registers 165 degrees, about 2 1/4-3 hours. Every 30 minutes, baste the turkey with some stock. Add additional coals, soaked chips (if using) and liquid to the drip pan as needed to maintain an even temperature. Cover the turkey with aluminum foil if it begins to overbrown.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 20- to 22-pound turkey as directed for the Best Way Traditional bird, but double the amount of softened butter, salt and pepper. Roast and baste (using about 1 cup of stock) according to the Best Way Traditional directions. Cover the legs with foil if they begin to overbrown. Roast until the internal thigh temperature registers 165 degrees, about 3 1/2 hours.
2 1/2 gallons cold water
2 cups kosher salt
1 cup sugar
2 bay leaves, torn into pieces
1 bunch fresh thyme, or 4 tablespoons dried
1 whole head of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
5 whole allspice berries, crushed
4 juniper berries, smashed
INSTRUCTIONSPlace the water in a large nonreactive pot that can easily hold the liquid and the turkey. Add all the ingredients and stir for a minute or two until the sugar and salt dissolve.
Put the turkey into the brine and refrigerate for 24 hours. If the turkey floats to the top, weight it down with a plate and cans to keep it completely submerged in the brine.
Note: You may halve or double the recipe. The important thing is to prepare enough brine to cover the turkey completely.
To roast: Remove the bird from the brine, rinse and drain well. Pat dry. Follow the Best Way instructions for roasting, above.

Once upon a time in the West, Eden Murdoch and Brad Randall met and fell in love. But Eden was happily married to a Cheyenne medicine man, Hanging Road, and Randall, an officer in the Army, had a promising career and a wealthy fiancée waiting back East. Ten years later, in 1878, Eden's life with the Cheyenne and Brad's life as the Commissioner of the Bureau of Indian Affairs have both fallen apart. In a minor example of Black's providential approach to plotting, lightning from a clear blue sky strikes Hanging Road while, under the direction of Brad's agency, the Cheyenne are relocated to reservations where they will starve. For the sake of her nine-year-old daughter, Eden returns to white society and homesteads in Kansas near Solomon Spring, a natural, and naturally sacred, spring. When the spring's owner, that subtle villain Phineas Claypool, commercializes the site, Eden protests and lands in jail. Back east, Brad's wife is having an affair, and the new Secretary of the Interior reveals that he has no sympathy for Indians. Virtuous Brad quits both wife and job and heads westward to tell Eden that her son, presumed dead, is alive and well. When Lawrence Murdoch, the boy's father and Eden's abusive first husband, turns up to claim the wealth of his son's adoptive parents, someone shoots him, and Brad is arrested for his murder.
Black (An Uncommon Enemy, not reviewed) serves up a Western in which a beautiful, anachronistic heroine rises above American sexism, imperialism, capitalism, and racism, all so that she and her true love can be together.

Muriel Lake Fishing Reports & Feedback

Latest Comments:
by clayday on Feb. 29, 2016
Just as information there are no longer any fish left in the lake. They all winter killed the winter of 2010-2011. Fish biologist indexed netted the lake in fall 2012 over a four day period - never caught a fish. Water to shallow and too little oxygen to support fish.
by Oilersfan73 on Jun. 16, 2014
Have a cabin on the west side, south of Spring Beach. Haven't used it in years since the lake became the slough it now is. Last time we tried fishing was about 10 years ago and never had a bit in about 4 hours of casting and trolling the north and west sides.
by iFish Guest on Jun. 26, 2013
Walk out about 20 feet and the lake drops off, you can fish from shore with rubber boots. Fished two days and never caught anything but no doubt there is fish here.... Some where....
by Mleipert on Jun. 12, 2013
Anyone fish here recently?

historic Howell House dates back to 1883 when it was built by George
Howell. Mr. Howell was a lumber baron who brought the first lumber
business to Downs in 1879. He built the Lipton Hotel, which is located
in downtown Downs. The hotel was originally named Howell House.
the Howells, the house was occupied by the Huff family. James Huff was a
Downs banker. Following the Huffs, Dr. Tasso Felix and his family lived
in the home.
house was converted into apartments thereafter and remained that way
until its recent restoration. Stephen and Joan Heide purchased the house in
1998 and began the complete renovation of the interior. The first guests
were welcomed to the Howell House in July of 2000.

The following was taken
directly from the Hand Book of Osborne County, Kansas, which was
printed in 1884:

surroundings, spacious and sightly carriage barn, etc., all of which are
portrayed in the pages of this work, about $10,000. Mr. Howell is a

Some graphic art is bouncing around the web that may or may not be our first look at the Solo: A Star Wars Story movie that Disney will release mid-2018. This is an odd toss-up, folks – as there appears to be some semantics surrounding how official these images are and the first anticipated look at our new Han Solo actually looking this cool.
Here's the actual source of the #Solo leak – Licensing Russia. Definitely using real film art. https://t.co/rVnSCy4RGZ pic.twitter.com/DUEmC2NPAa
— STAR WARS (@StarWarsAbsolut) December 27, 2017
/Film had this to say after confirming with Disney and Lucasfilm if the images were released by them, or if the images could be taken as official standards for how Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Emilia Clarke's character, Kira, will look:
Although Disney says this art did not come from them or Lucasfilm, it looks more polished than typical fan art, especially since it includes elements (like a modified Millennium Falcon) that we have never seen before. It is entirely possible that this was art created for a local film market, utilizing official elements. It is also possible that this is art created by a licensee outside of Disney.
These are very murky and speculatory waters we are in regarding some solid imagery standards to go by for the Han Solo film. As already stated, the images actually could be the official "look" we are going to get. Look at how close we are to its release date and yet we haven't gotten much of a tease at the film at all. All we have really gotten is news, casting updates, and a surprise director swap. What's going on, Disney?
I have to agree with the educated speculations here. It makes sense entirely that images are getting out from the meager confines of marketing campaign secrecy.
Solo: A Star Wars Story is set to release May 25, 2018.
What do you think of the pictures? Think it's the real deal? Let us know in the comments below.

Those legendary libertarians, the Swedes, now have a phone number for the whole country.
250 years ago Sweden became the first country to abolish censorship, and the country is pretty famed for getting the important things in life right, as I'm sure you've heard enough about before.
So now the Swedish Tourist Association has set up a number you can call to be connected to "a random Swede" to talk about whatever you like, from 6-hour working days to shared maternity/paternity leave.
We gave it a go and got connected to Björn. Björn was fixing his snowmobile at his home in Lapland. Seriously, that's what he told us.

The first rule and simplest task associated with boat ownership: Wash your boat regularly.
If you're tempted to let these chores slide consider this fact: a boat with a clean hull bottom is more fuel-efficient than a hull that's covered with algae or other aquatic scum. A dirty hull can easily add up to 30% of fuel cost.

1. Hot water extraction
This method is our most widely used method and is recommended by Leading Carpet Manufactures such as Shaw Industries and Mohawk Flooring. This type of cleaning is also referred to as "steam cleaning" although the correct terminology is hot water extraction. The phrase steam cleaning derived it's name from the hot steam that comes from the 200 plus degree water that is used in this process. This extraction method of using hot water is an excellent way of getting deep down embedded soil to lift from the carpet fibers. This is the best type of cleaning for the purpose of 'restorative cleaning' such as pet damaged carpet or heavily soiled traffic areas but also works very well for carpet that just needs a little freshening up. Not all hot water extraction is the same. We use the latest and most up to date truck mounted carpet cleaning systems available. It is also important to note along with this technique we use only the best and most trusted green seal labeled products for our carpet cleaning agents. Deep Steam Cleaning combined with safe Eco-friendly products, what more can you ask for?
2. Encapsulation | Dry Cleaning
Encapsulation is mostly used for commercial purposes. This method is beneficial for the cleaning and maintenance of carpet used for commercial purposes and also for sensitive carpet fiber such as wool's & silk. Our Encapsulation process utilizes a revolutionary product that is designed with an innovative polymer technology which traps embedded soil then crystallizes as it dries. The product is sprayed onto the carpet and with a 150 rpm floor machine using a rotary bonnet the soil is trapped on the bonnet pad. Any remaining spray then crystallizes and is easily removed with a vacuum afterward. This process is great for heavy traffic areas, hallways, and offices that have a low pile commercial carpet that is prone to wicking after the carpet has been cleaned.
We may also use this method to correct any adverse reaction of wicking and browning that can occur as a result of spills or pet urine contamination that has worked its way down into the carpet backing and has a tendency to resurface after a traditional hot water extraction has been performed.

If you have been following my blog for a while, you will know that I love text sets. That is, picture books or junior novels that come together, sometimes eclectically, that have similar themes or teachings. I have been putting this blog post together for some time, in my thinking.
As literacy educators, we know it is important to encourage children to make text-to-text connections and creating text sets is one way to support students to do this. The titles in the text set at the top of this post came together around a similar concept about Australian Aboriginal Identity in relation to skin colour and indigeneity.
Text sets combine multiple texts with different genre and text complexities to cater for students' interests and a wide range of abilities. Multiple text approaches can give voice to marginalised groups, through the different representations of similar issues. The collections of texts are sometimes referred to as Linked Text Sets (LTS). For more on the power of text sets, see:

"Black Fella White Fella" is a picture book by Neil Murray based on his iconic song lyrics for the song of the same title that he has performed with the Warumpi band. View a video of the song made with the Papunya school here. I love this picture book, not only because I love the song (and secretly Neil Murray LOL - shhh!), but also because it is illustrated by children around Australia and carries such an important message for the world! "Black Fella, White Fella" is such a popular picture book, that I had a little bit of trouble tracking it down. Perhaps it is going through a reprint?
A big shout out and thank you to Sally from the Sally Lawrence Education Consultancy who sourced a copy of the picture book for me at short notice and to Sarah from the North Coast Regional Indigenous Education Unit for sending it to me. You can read more about Sally's work here and the My Island Home project here. The My Island Home project involved Neil Murray and others mentoring 19 emerging Indigenous artists for a week of songwriting and recording.
To deepen comprehension, students might compare and contrast the picture book and performance versions of the text, "Black Fella, White Fella" by Neil Murray. The lyrics could also be deconstructed for comprehension purposes using my Collaborative Reading Workshop approach. You can read more about this approach in relation to song lyrics and social justice here:
Meyer, K. E. (2010). A collaborative approach to reading workshop in the middle years. The reading teacher, 63(6), 501-507.
Popular culture and song lyrics have long been seen as a 'way in' to supporting adolescent literacy development. To me, song lyrics are not only a 'way in' to literacy learning, but can also be a 'way in' to learning about culture, by 'reading the word and the world' (Freire & Macedo, 1987).
Freire, P., & Macedo, D. (1987). Reading the word and the world. Westport, CT: Bergin & Garvey.
This set of picture books features iconic Australian songs and is published by One Day Hill publishing. The titles in the iconic songs collection of picture books include:
- Solid Rock by Shane Howard;
- Took the Children Away by Archie Roach; and
- My Island Home by Neil Murray.
This series includes the titles pictured above (the iconic songs set) and "From Little Things, Big Things Grow" by Paul Kelly, as well.
Read more about Neil Murray's work at the publisher's site here or Neil Murray's blog here. You can also view the Warumpi band singing, "My Island Home" here.
In a previous blog post, I share about Australian Indigenous Perspectives and more about further these iconic song titles. You can read this post on the Australian Teachers' Collaborative blog here.
Well, that's enough for one day :) I think this blog post is going to become part of a small series...If you made it this far, thanks so much for reading! As usual, if you have other ideas, I would love to read them - please share in the comments section below.
Have a great week everyone!

Here's everything you need to know about using QR code technology to connect your offline marketing with your online resources.
As mobile internet access explodes across the country, businesses are presented with new opportunities to engage customers with new marketing channels. Today's smartphones feature digital cameras with specialized features that can help bridge the gap between offline marketing and online information. One of the newest ways to do this is with a specialized "bar code" technology called QR codes. Here's what you need to know to start using them as marketing tools.
What is a QR code? A QR code is a kind of "two dimensional" barcode similar to the classic barcodes we are used to seeing on product packages. QR codes look like postage stamps that have a "blocky" design on them. The "QR" stands for "quick response." QR codes contain actual information – like a traditional barcode contains the stock number and price of a product – that can be deciphered by a code-reader application on a smartphone. When you "scan" a QR code by taking it's picture with your smartphone, the application deciphers the content in the code and presents it as normal text, numbers, hyperlinks and even graphics.
How do QR codes work? Basically, QR codes can contain between 4000-7000 characters of information encoded into their compact design. You can create a QR code using software or websites that translate different kinds of information into coded QR images. You can encode web URLs, text, phone numbers and SMS messages into the image that will enable a smartphone to display or connect to your web content or even yourself (by calling you). For example, if you encode a URL into a QR code and place it on a print advertisement, a customer can see the ad, scan the QR code, and follow a web link to your website for additional information.
How do people "scan" the QR code? New smartphones have QR code readers built into them. Usually there is an application in the phone which activates the scanning features of the camera. A user simply starts the app and points the camera at a code image. The phone begins scanning the code "points" to decipher its content. The entire process usually takes about 2-3 seconds. The "contents" of the code will then be displayed on the phone's screen, such as a URL, text or a phone number.
How do I create a QR code? There are a number of free QR code creators on the internet, which can be found by searching for "qr code generator." One useful site is qrstuff.com where you can encode a variety of content types and generate QR code images which can be downloaded and printed. The site features a service to print your QR code on marketing products like postcards, t-shirts, coffee mugs and other promotional items. Once you downloaded code image, you can then place it on printed materials like any other clip art or image.
Where does it make sense to use QR codes? QR codes are a novel way to help customers receive additional information from traditional media, especially printed items. Adding a QR code to listing sheets, postcards and newspaper ads lets smartphone-savvy customers go from the offline marketing piece to richer online content quickly. QR codes can save space in print media by replacing long text contact information with a small graphic image. Anywhere you can place a square graphic presents an opportunity to connect the physical item to your online content.
What can I encode into a QR code? Think of the many types of information you can offer customers to learn about your products and services. All of them can be encoded into a QR code. If you can link to it on the internet, you can encode it: maps, files, podcasts, videos, social network profiles, blog entries, and even vCards with contact information. Likewise, QR codes can simply contain phone numbers to connect customers to your voice. And the simplest QR codes merely contain up to 7000 characters of additional information about your product or service.
QR codes are a great way to connect your online and offline marketing strategies. They provide consumers with a ready-to-go and low-risk tool to receive additional information other than email, registration pages or downloads. QR codes extend the value of your expensive print investments by driving traffic to online content. With only a few minutes of practice, you should be able to create, distribute and leverage QR code technology across your marketing plan, opening the door for new ways to connect with customers in a mobile-empowered world.

AT&T: T-Mobile Deal Will Boost 4G Coverage Even More Than We Thought
AT&T's bid for T-Mobile is now official. The carrier on Thursday filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Communications Commission, kicking off what will likely be a in-depth review of the proposed merger.
In its filing, AT&T claimed that purchasing T-Mobile will allow it to deploy its 4G LTE network to 97 percent of the U.S. population, up from the 95 percent number it gave last month.
"After conducting a more refined analysis of the combined network, AT&T is increasing the scope of this commitment to 97.3 percent," the carrier said.
AT&T surprised the tech community recently when it announced plans to acquire T-Mobile for $39 billion. AT&T argued that the purchase will help stop the spectrum crunch and spur the companies's deployment of 4G service.
"In just the first five-to-seven weeks of 2015, AT&T expects to carry all of the mobile traffic volume it carried during 2010," the carrier said in its filing. "This merger provides by far the surest, fastest and most efficient solution to that challenge. The network synergies of this transaction will free up new capacity - the functional equivalent of new spectrum - in the many urban, suburban and rural wireless markets where escalating broadband usage is fast consuming existing capacity."
AT&T said it will incorporate T-Mobile cell sites into the AT&T network, providing benefits to consumers in as little as nine months, and doubling the amount of network traffic that can be carried in a given area.
AT&T also said that T-Mobile customers "who are happy with their T-Mobile USA rate plans will be able to keep them." They will also have access to AT&T's plans.
"To be clear, consumers will not have to make any changes to their T-Mobile USA services or devices upon the close of this transaction. Their handsets will continue to work, and they can remain on their current rate plans," AT&T said.
The FCC has not commented on the specifics of the deal, but said it will work with the DOJ going forward. Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps, however, has already expressed reservations.
AT&T insisted that the wireless market will remain competitive after the deal goes through, something with which Sprint has vehemently disagreed.
"We are opposed to an acquisition that creates a duopoly and blatantly consolidates market power in the hands of these two companies," a Sprint spokesman said earlier this week.
Last week, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse said the deal poses a "serious threat" to the wireless industry and would push it "from competition to duopoly."
When asked about the merger during its earnings call this morning, Verizon said it will "let that go through due process with the federal government [and] sit and wait and see."
If it's a market-based merger, Verizon will not have many objections, but if its a "regulatory merger," then Verizon will "have a harder time." Verizon "will not stand by" if the FCC or other agencies impose regulations that force Verizon to deliver services at a set price, for example, said Fran Shammo, president and CEO of Verizon Telecom and Business.

A New Twist on Traditional Side Dishes
The holidays are all about traditions. From where people sit (big table versus kids' table) or what you are going to eat. I mean I still beg for hash-brown casserole for either Thanksgiving or Christmas. It is a non-negotiable for me. Then you also have the people that like to buck tradition and change things up every year. Well, I have news for you... That's a tradition, too. While planning this issue, we decided to turn some of the traditional side dishes on their ear and give our readers something new to try this holiday season. We hope you enjoy!
Blueberry Bliss Pie
Recipe by Tracy Carpenter
Mascarpone Filling:
8 oz. mascarpone or cream cheese
1 cup cool whip
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon white vanilla flavoring
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Blueberry Filling:
3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold water
5 cups fresh blueberries, divided
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 9 oz graham cracker pie crust
Strawberries for garnishing
Mascarpone Filling:
Mix Mascarpone, cool whip, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice until well combined with an electric mixer.
Pour into the graham cracker pie crust and spread evenly. Place in the fridge while you make the
blueberry filling.
Blueberry Filling:
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt and water until smooth. Add 3 cups blueberries. Bring to a boil, cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add butter, lemon juice and remaining berries, stir until butter is melted. Cool. Pour on top of Mascarpone cheese filling. Garnish with strawberries. Refrigerate until serving.
Notes: The blueberry filling will be thick. This is nothing to be concerned about. Adding the butter and lemon juice will thin it some. Omit the mascarpone cheese filling and use just the blueberry filling for a classic old fashioned homemade pie. Layer graham cracker crumbs, mascarpone cheese filling and blueberry filling in dessert cups for a light fruit parfait.
Sweet Summertime
I have an extensive and irrational love for popsicles — frozen deliciousness on a stick. I love 'em and I don't care who knows. No matter the time of year, I so often find myself craving a good popsicle.
Growing up in hot Florida summers, some of my best memories are eating popsicles with my family. I remember making them with kool-aid as a kid. We would freeze orange juice in ice trays, cover them with foil, insert toothpicks, and enjoy.
Today you can buy popsicle molds in all shapes and sizes, Further, flavor possibilities are only as limited as your imagination. I had so much fun making the popsicles featured in this article I felt like my kitchen was a playground.
Let the kids join the fun! They love to help make them almost as much as they like to eat them.
As the summer heats up, I hope these recipes will help bring out the kid in you again. So, crack out those molds and enjoy sweet, frozen goodness all summer long.
Rainbow Popsicles
Light colored pudding mix
5 different food colors
Prepare your pudding according to directions on package. You may want to add a little more milk to make it pourable. Divide pudding mixture into 5 small bowls, adding about 1/2 cup to each. Add a couple of drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well. I used a gel food dye for vivid colors. You can now spoon the pudding mixture into the molds. I put the mixture into five different pastry bags and filled the molds that way. If you don't have pastry bags you can use a ziplock bag and cut the corner out. After each color is added, tap mold on counter to remove air bubbles. Cover with foil and insert sticks and freeze for about 8 hours. Run mold under hot water to loosen the popsicle.
Tooty-Fruity Popsicles
1-8 oz can crushed pineapples
1-15 oz peaches in light syrup
1-15 oz pears in light syrup
6 strawberries, sliced
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
2 Tablespoons Tang
1/2 package of a small box of vanilla pudding mix
Drain the canned fruit into a bowl and save the juice. Liquefy the pineapples, peaches and pears in a food processor and mix together in a medium bowl. Add the pudding mix and Tang to the juice you drained from the fruit. Mix well and add to the liquefied fruit and mix well again. Pour a little into the mold and place a kiwi against the side of the mold. Then pour a little more of the fruit mixture over the kiwi and slide a strawberry against the side of the mold. Finally, finish filling the mold up with the fruit mixture. Cover with foil and insert sticks and freeze for about 6-8 hours. Run hot water over mold to release popsicle. You can also liquefy the strawberries and kiwi if you wish. Adding blueberries would be yummy, too!
Strawberry Lemon Basil Popsicles
6 medium to large lemons
1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons sugar ( more if you like really sweet lemon aid)
2 cups water
6-8 strawberries, mashed
1-2 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
Combine the chopped basil and mashed strawberries together and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the lemons. Make lemonade by adding sugar and water to the lemon juice and mixing until the sugar has dissolved completely. Spoon 1 Tablespoon of the mashed strawberries and basil into to the mold. You can add more if you'd like. Pour the lemonade into the molds. Cover with foil and insert sticks and freeze for about 5-7 hours. Note: The strawberries will float to the top, so I put the popsicles in the freezer for about an hour and take a wooden skewer to push them down some.
Key Lime Popsicles
1-1/8 cup water 3/4 cup sugar (use more if you don't like tart desserts!) 1 to 1-1/2 cans sweetened condensed milk 1-1/2 cups key lime juice
1 tsp. lime zest
Mix water and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved. This may take some time. You may want to mix it a while, let it sit a while and stir again until it's all dissolved. Add the sweetened condensed milk, key lime juice and zest. Mix well. Pour into the molds. Cover with foil and freeze for about 5-7 hours and under to water to release from the mold.
Banana Pudding Popsicles
1 small box instant banana pudding
2 ripe bananas
several crushed Nilla Wafers
Prepare your pudding according to directions on package. You may want to add a little more milk to make it pourable. (I added about 1/3 c to 1/2 c extra.) Mash one of the bananas and add it to the pudding mix. Chop the other into chunks and add them to the mixture. You can use as many bananas as your heart desires. Add crushed Nilla Wafers and spoon them into the mold. Gently tap the mold on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles, and insert the handles that came with the molds or cover with foil and insert a craft stick or tongue depressor. Freeze for about 5 to 7 hours. Run the mold under hot water to loosen popsicle from the mold, and make sure the popsicle has fully released or you will leave half of the popsicle in the mold.
Another recipe I like is to take frozen strawberries in syrup. Thaw them, puree' them, pour them into the molds, freeze them. Then dip them into magic shell chocolate for chocolate covered strawberry popsicles(you may want to add a little water if the mixture is too sweet for you.
You can test taste the mixtures as you are making them to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. (I call this quality control.)
Are you craving them yet?

Why LASUTH shunned JOHESU strike – NARD President, Salami
The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, has stated that doctors are working despite the ongoing strike by the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU).
NARD president, Salami Ajibola, told newsmen on Wednesday in Lagos that the doctors were working to ensure that the hospital was not grounded.
According to him, the doctors have put in place strategies including: measuring the vitals of patients and using plain sheets for recording purposes.
"LASUTH is working as much as possible; we may not be able to run a full complement of services, but we are trying as much as possible to provide services.
"Although, we may not be able to admit patients, anybody who comes as an emergency can be seen. We stabilise them and make sure they are fit to go.
"The medical, surgical emergencies, and the clinics are running fully; any patient who has an appointment can come and be sure that the doctors will attend to them.
"Other departments including radiology where investigations are carried out is running. In the laboratory, the doctors are there to run investigations as much as possible.
"We hope to continue providing services pending when the strike will be called off," he said.
The president appealed to the health workers to return to work and save the lives of Lagosians.
"Let us continue to provide services as much as possible and that is why our members have been living up to expectation.
"We take our calls when we are on calls and run the clinics when we are supposed to, " Ajibola said.

Aboriginal fans' viral Edmonton Oilers song rooted in centuries of tradition
'In our tradition, it's an honour to have songs made about you,' says singer and drummer
An aboriginal song about the NHL's newest superstar, now a viral sensation online, is rooted in traditions that date back many centuries.
"In our tradition, it's an honour to have songs made about you," said Robin Alexis, who helped perform a song about the Edmonton Oilers, and star rookie Connor McDavid, on Tuesday outside Rexall Place.
The drummer and singer belongs to a traditional music group from the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation, west of Edmonton. They performed their Oilers' song on the night when McDavid returned to the ice for the first time since November, following an injury.
"You've got to be a pretty important person to have songs," said Alexis. "Nobody made a song about me, and I've been singing for 35 years of my life."
Then he paused and laughed. "McDavid has a song, and I don't?"
Alexis said the group showed up Tuesday simply to support their favourite team.
"The only way we've survived all these years is, we support each other," he said. "In this case, we just want to support them by singing them a song."
The song hearkens back to the team's glory decade, when the Oilers, led by Wayne Gretzky, won four Stanley Cups in five years.
"Let's go back to the good old days, let's go back to the Gretzky days. Go, Oilers, go, you can do it. You've got Connor McDavid, Nuge, Ebs and Hall," they sing, referring to teammates Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall.
"It's so surreal to think so many people paid attention," Alexis said. "I didn't think anybody was going to care."
But people did care. The video of the song performance has already seen by hundreds of thousands on Facebook.
Alexis said the group is glad so many people liked the song. He's glad McDavid scored a goal Tuesday night and that the Oilers won the game.
There is, of course, another, very powerful reason for aboriginal singers and drummers to get together.
"I've noticed ever since I picked up a drum that it gives you strength," Alexis said. "It's something that your traditional ancestors have held for hundreds of years. In today's age, our kids, our grandchildren, are hockey players too. I think my brother made the song to inspire the kids to be proud of who they are."

Study: SAT might predict life satisfaction
A Vanderbilt University study suggests the SAT -- a test many students take prior to college admission -- might be able to predict a person's success in life.
High school juniors and seniors across the nation in January took their SATs. The Vanderbilt research suggests the test may go far beyond predicting college success -- if taken during a person's early teens, it might foretell a person's post-college success and life satisfaction.
The study found high SAT scores at young ages can reveal individuals who have cognitive and creative potential for future success in such occupations as medicine, engineering and higher education.
The researchers say their study provides evidence that students who score in the top 0.01 percentile of their age group on the SAT before age 13 are more likely than a comparison group of graduate students to achieve a medical degree, earn an annual salary of at least $100,000, or secure a tenure-track position in a top-50 ranked institution.
The findings are reported in the March issue of Psychological Science.

|Today I finished up I Chronicles and read the first two chapters of II Chronicles. Here are just some of the highlights:
1) DAVID'S HEART FOR HIS MEN- I Chron. 12:17 says: "And David went out to meet them, and answered and said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart shall be knit unto you:...." David knit his heart to his men. Thy knew this and responded in like kind to David. (vs. 18) "Then the spirit came upon Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Thine we are, David, and on thy side, thou son of Jesse: peace, peace be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers; for thy God helpeth thee." So, when they saw the heart of David, their heart answered in the same fashion. No wonder, David's men kept growing, and growing. (vs. 22) "For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host, like the host of God." Day by day... it grew and grew, all because the leader had a HEART for Men!!
2) DAVID'S ATTITUDE ABOUT HIMSELF- I Chron. 17:16- "And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house that thou hast brought me hitherto?" After being told by the prophet that he could not build the temple, David is not upset, but rather goes to the LORD and acknowledges that he is nothing. God uses men who have no confidence in the flesh. We have already see David's Heart for his men, now we see David's Attitude about himself. He had a humble, lowly attitude about himself. He did not feel worthy of the position to which God had called him. He did not feel worthy of the blessings that God had bestowed upon him. This attitude is what allows God to do miraculous things with us. Our pride of personal accomplishment actually decreases greatly God's ability to use us. He will only use a vessel that will give God all of the glory! Let us every one adopt David's attitude as ours!
3) DAVID'S PREPARATION- I Chron. 22:14 says: "Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand (million) talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared: and thou mayest add thereto." David could not build the temple, but his heart was so in tune with the house of God that he prepared the supplies for his son, Solomon to build the temple. David made the preparations, and he had the pattern of the temple as well. (28:19) "All this, said David, the LORD made me understand in writing by his hand upon me, even all the works of this pattern."
LORD, You have taught me so much by seeing David's heart and attitude. Would You create in me that same heart, that same spirit. I love you LORD, and desire to walk with You today. You are on the move today... and I want to follow Your steps. I want to be fruitful for You, and You alone. I have no ambition of my own, only to be used of my God, and to love Him as He deserves. Filter my mind of all that would hinder my walk with You; Fill my heart with all that would help my walk with You. This is Your day LORD, let me live it for You! Amen.
Well, this is all for now. Hope you have a blessed day. Please be in prayer for Larry Chappell, Dr. Paul Chappell's son battling cancer treatments, and Josh Goddard, Dr. Bruce Goddard's son battling cancer now as well. Two great men with son's about 25 years old battling cancer. Let us battle in prayer for these two fine young men. May God bless your day! Pastor Mike Mutchler

America's Cup organizers are doing what they can to limit the number of cars in the city for the 2013 race.
The "People Plan for the America's Cup" is designed to keep cars away from the waterfront according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The plan calls for a bike sharing in the city and new bike routes. It would create a path in one lane of the Embarcadero for bicyclists and pedestrians.
There would also be a new Muni line created. The E line would run from Caltrain to Fisherman's Wharf on existing tracks. An F line shuttle would take people between the Ferry Building to the Wharf. While extra express buses would connect BART to the waterfront and other transit centers.
The idea is to keep drivers out of the city and divert them to park-and-ride hubs in outlying areas.

WAYNESBURG – Greene County Conservation District approved a resolution Tuesday supporting efforts to identify the cause of the Dunkard Creek fish kill and urging re-establishment of the creek as a warm water fishery.
The board also agreed to ask state and federal agencies responsible for enforcing environmental regulations and investigating the kill to attend a public meeting to discuss the situation.
State and federal agencies involved in the investigation have not been able to determine what caused thousands of fish and other aquatic life to die in the creek during the last three weeks.
The board wants to make sure this doesn't happen again, said Robbie Matesic, county director of development.
var ipt = "ipt";
var rnd = Math.random()*99999999;
// ]]>
"They were alarmed by the fact we don't know about activities taking place in the Dunkard Creek watershed that the federal and state agencies do know about," she said.
One issue discussed by the board was the permit issued by the federal Environmental Protection Agency in 2005 to CNX Gas to operate an injection well at the former Blacksville No. 1 Morris Run Mine Shaft for brine from the company's coal bed methane wells.
EPA issued an administrative order last month assessing the company a $157,500 penalty for failing to adequately staff and secure the well site, monitor the well's cumulative volume and report permit non-compliance.
EPA found that between September 2007 and March 2009 at least 100 truckloads of materials were discharged at the site with levels of total dissolved solids "significantly higher" than levels included in the permit application.
Though the well is not being blamed for the fish kill, local officials were unaware of its existence. "We can find no evidence we received any notice of this permit, the violation or the consent order," Matesic told the board.
Martin Niverth, also with the county department of development, called the EPA consent order "vanilla," saying it requires the company to do only what it should have been doing from the beginning.
"We must take ownership of our resources," Niverth said later. This will involve putting in place methods to be aware of such developments and to comment on them before they become reality.
Matesic said the county estimates the economic value of the 38 miles of lost stream, using Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission restoration guidelines, is more than $30 million.
The resolution approved by the board cites efforts by the county and the conservation district to address water quality issues in the watershed.
They include spending $460,000 for the development of sewage plans and line extensions, participating in a study to explore the treatment of acid mine discharge sources and cleaning up illegal garbage dumps.
County and the conservation district have worked to take care of problems they are aware of in the watershed, Niverth said. "We've worked our butts off and spent money only to have this slap us in the face," he said.
The resolution notes exploitation of Marcellus shale gas has caused a significant demand on local water resources and water treatment capacity "that responsible permitting, monitoring and enforcement agencies were unprepared to accommodate."
The resolution further states that any extractive industry should bear the responsibility, regardless of costs, for the full protection and restoration of natural resources after extraction is completed.
DEP: Aquatic disaster 'different from any' in recent years
A chief environmental enforcement official said Tuesday the massive fish kill in Dunkard Creek is "different from any that we've had in recent memory." Michael Zeto of West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection Agency said what makes this fish kill so different is there may be more than one source causing the aquatic disaster. "Typically, there is a chemical or physical characteristic that points to a single source. Then, we deal with who is responsible from there. However, this fish kill may have several possibilities that could be contributing to the cause," Zeto said. West Virginia DEP is investigating the fish kill jointly with the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and West Virginia University. "We understand the frustration people are feeling, because we feel it, too," said Scott Mandirola, director of the West Virginia DEP's Division of Water and Waste Management. "That's why we have a large number of people working on this and are working with other agencies to try to determine what could be causing it," he said. Because of heavy mining activity in the area, the industry was an early suspect. In fact, after conferring with West Virginia DEP, Consol Energy, which operates an active mine in Blacksville, W.Va., agreed to shut off its discharge into Dunkard Creek at its Blacksville No. 2 site. However, at the same time Consol was shutting off its pumps, dead fish were found upstream from its outlet, indicating that the outlet at that site is not the sole cause for the dead fish. In addition, inspectors checked mine pools from previous mining activity that are often sources of acid mine drainage. However, the water levels in the area are hundreds of feet below stream elevation at this time because the area has not received much rain in recent weeks. The agencies also have received reports from area residents suspecting tanker trucks of dumping waste water from oil and gas drilling activities into Dunkard Creek. Various agencies continue to investigate those reports. "We have found that those trucks that have been reported are withdrawing water from the stream, rather than dumping waste water," Zeto said. On Friday, staff members from West Virginia DEP flew over the area in a helicopter to see if there was anything they could see from the air. The staff noted the stream was clouded with a rust color from the Pennsylvania line upstream to a beaver dam in the South Fork of the West Virginia Fork of Dunkard. As a result, additional staff was brought in to take samples along the 25-mile stretch. Investigators also have solicited the assistance of micro-biologists to help determine whether some form of algae or similar growth may be a contributing factor.

(photo by Noah Bleicher) Oh, Medellín! With your daily rainstorms, fruit markets, $4 lunches, mobile phone girls, salsa tunes and Botero art that decorates the city the way Gaudi decorates Barcelona, it was not hard to love Medellín- pronounced "Med-i-shjeen". We spent three days there during the first half of our Thanksgiving week trip to Colombia with our friends Noah and Marcela, who own and operate Su Casa Colombia, a tour guide/B&B business in the city.
Medellín was once ruled in fear by Pablo Escobar, the notorious drug lord. After his death, the Colombian government made great strides to sweep up the mess left behind and to give Medellín a second chance. In the past 20 years, Medellín has risen to become Colombia's Second City and encouraging its residents to come out of hiding and enjoy its parks, museums, gardens, cafes, restaurants and shopping districts. Medellín still bears the reputation for crime, but on the contrary, we felt very safe. In addition, there are barely any other tourists – so get in before anyone else does. Like any city, visitors should be aware of their surroundings, don't buy drugs from strangers, and don't head into the poorer districts.
Stay: We stayed at Su Casa Colombia, which was Marcela's grandparents' home and where Marcela's mother was raised. This typical middle-upper-class home has two levels with an open courtyard with hammocks, crisp white bedding, bright balconies where you are woken by fruit peddlers singing their songs of avocado, a pool table and a fun Colombian ring-toss game called Sapo. Noah puts together an excellent Colombian breakfast (or a regular American breakfast, since they are Americans) and organizes very full and fun itineraries to take you around town.
See: Fernando Botero's art is the real gem of Medellín. This artist of oversized, overweight, expressionless characters creates a fun, round and humorous take on life, even the really serious ones. You can view his bronze sculptures at Palacio Municipal (including the Bird of Peace which, ironically, was damaged by a guerrilla bomb), Parque Berrio, and at the Museo de Antioquia which also has his paintings and drawings. We got an excellent walk-through from Marcela, who is an art expert and artist herself, and pointed out details we would never have noticed.
See also: A country of 98 percent Catholics, you can bet they have some interesting churches as well. The Catedral Metropolitana is made of 1.2 million bricks and is quite possibly the only brick cathedral you'll ever encounter. The Basilica de la Candelaria, situated in Parque Berrio, is also another interesting design in black-and-white. There's also the pretend church at Pueblito Paisa, a reconstructed mini-village of a typical Antioquian settlement atop a hill with sweeping views of Medellín. The other two percent may find spiritual peace at the Jardín Botánico's orchid display, an architectural beauty in itself (right).
Ride: the Metrocable gondolas, which every city should implement to bypass traffic and provide birdseye views above. Medellín's metro is the first for Colombia, too, and a very clean and impressive mode of transport about town. Otherwise, take a cab to your destinations – they're incredibly inexpensive by American and European standards.
Dance: Participate in one of the free rumba classes in the Unidad Deportiva Atanasio Girardot plaza. This is one of the city's ways of encouraging the community to embrace its parks. Or else try your steps at Eslabon Prendido (Calle 53 # 42- 55) downtown where live salsa music is played Tuesday nights. (If you don't know what you're doing, just move your legs around very quickly and try to look sassy).
Daytrip: El Peñón is a giant black monolith, which Noah believes to be an asteroid, but the ticket seller says is a result of plate techtonics. It is about two hours outside the city by bus. Catch a bus from the bus station (buses leave every half hour, ask the bus counter which one goes to El Peñón at Guatapé). More than 600 steps lead to the top for breathtaking views of the winding reservoir below. Afterwards, take a colorful tuk-tuk to Guatapé for lunch and to see one of the most charming towns on the planet. Every house is required to be painted colorfully, and entire streets are coordinated.
Eat: En Casa de Oliva's owner went around all of Colombia researching recipes and regional cooking to create her carefully planned menu. Carrera 43D #10-72 Poblado (email@example.com). Also check out the fruit markets, where you can sample fruits that don't exist back home. Our favorite is the granadilla which we affectionately called "booger fruit", because its insides resemble, well, a pomegranate. Another option is to stand around an empanada stand and eat to your heart's content, then pay for the number of empanadas consumed.
Pack: Raingear, like a jacket, umbrella and preferably some kind of waterproof shoe. Plastic bags are good to cover up camera equipment.

In need of critical space expansion, PRTC commissioned Design South to explore alternatives to expand the existing facility and to create a concept that could be constructed within extremely limited site conditions.
The three-story new addition represents an additional 10,800 square feet of commercial office space. It is directly connected to the rear of the existing building and includes a new computer operations center, billing and accounting offices, new financial department offices, a new boardroom, and executive offices. In addition, the existing building was renovated upon completion of the new addition to provide for new customer relations and sales operations.
Site improvements include approximately 24 additional parking spaces with modifications to accommodate the new construction.
