FRESNO, Calif. — When Sgt. First Class Darrell Rowe's Army bosses told him they were sending him for a week of beekeeping and tree pruning here in California's fertile Central Valley, he was irked.
"My first reaction was, what the hell would I be doing with agriculture?" said Sergeant Rowe, 32. "What does a combat man have to do with crops?"
After all, Sergeant Rowe has already served two tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. This week he is scheduled to leave Joint Base Lewis-McChord, near Tacoma, Wash., for a nine-month stint in Afghanistan.
But it is one thing to have seen the land, and another to know how to work it.
Familiarizing soon-to-be deployed service members like Sergeant Rowe with basic information about Afghanistan's crops and farming traditions is precisely the point of a new one-week training program developed by the federal Agriculture Department.
This is boot camp where soldiers are more likely to learn about manure than about M-4 rifles with grenade launchers.
Military officials send recruits from across the country to Central California because it shares many agroclimatic characteristics with Afghanistan — fertile valleys, semi-arid plains and mountains — and can serve as a kind of geographical laboratory.Continue reading the main story
"We can replicate on our demonstration farm exactly the types of conditions these troops will find on the ground," said Bill Erysian, director of Agricultural Development for Afghanistan Pre-Deployment Training, or Adapt, a program based at California State University, Fresno.
And, with the exception of Afghanistan's opium poppy production, the two locales grow nearly all the same crops. "The first time my plane landed here it felt familiar," said Navid Sediqi, an agronomist from Afghanistan and one of the course instructors. "I saw pistachios, almonds, wheat, pomegranates, grapes. These are the same things we grow back home."
Since 2002, the United States has spent more than $1 billion on Afghanistan's agricultural sector, in part to create markets and options for farmers other than growing opium poppies. Financed by a $2.9 million grant from the Agriculture Department, the Adapt training codifies what had been ad-hoc efforts by various branches of the American military to train recruits in agriculture. Some of that earlier training occurred in locations bearing less likeness to Afghanistan, like Wisconsin.
The grant is one of several the Agriculture Department has made to land-grant colleges in the Central Valley in recent years, tapping into the region's farming expertise. The department gave more than $16 million to a consortium of universities led by the University of California, Davis, to help build up Afghanistan's agricultural extension system and create an online repository and smartphone application called e-Afghan Ag. The site and app provide information for civilians and combat troops trying to find solutions to agricultural problems they encounter in Afghanistan.
In late March, about 25 recruits from across the military — including members of the National Guard, Army Reserve and Army Civil Affairs — spent a week here learning the basics of subsistence agriculture, like how to keep vegetables from spoiling without refrigeration and how to transplant grape cuttings.
An afternoon demonstration on how Afghan farmers dig irrigation ditches with shovels left Sergeant Rowe in a reflective mood.
"If we see a guy out at night digging with shovels, that is a threat to us, he might not be alive in the morning," he said, explaining that insurgents also use shovels to bury improvised explosive devices, or I.E.D.'s, along paths and roads.
For many of the trainees who had previously been deployed to Afghanistan, a lesson on pruning pomegranate trees brought memories not of ruby-colored clusters of fruit but of overgrown orchards with communication antennas strung high on bushy branches by insurgents.
"Pomegranates," one groaned.
"We're not going to make anyone a farmer in five days," said Ryan Brewster, the Agriculture Department's Afghanistan desk officer. "But what we can do is teach them about agriculture, and why it's important to the average Afghan."
As much as 80 percent of Afghanistan's population relies on subsistence agriculture. Until the early 1970s, the country's farmers produced grain, fruits and nuts for domestic consumption and export. But in the more than 30 years of conflict since the Soviet invasion in 1979, much of that agricultural know-how and basic infrastructure has been lost or destroyed.
Much of the financing for agricultural projects began streaming into the country after 2009, when Richard C. Holbrooke, then the American special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, announced a shift away from poppy eradication efforts. Those efforts, he would later say, had "pushed poor farmers into the Taliban's hands." Instead, the United States would emphasize building roads and fostering market-based alternatives to opium poppies, like exporting raisins and pomegranate juice.
About 50 Agriculture Department extension agents are currently in Afghanistan, but some experts feel the emphasis on agricultural development and farming literacy came too little, too late.
"Until 2008, we were not funding the war in Afghanistan," said Anthony H. Cordesman a defense expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who has advised the American military on its Afghan strategy. "It takes 12 to 18 months for the money to flow into the country. We basically did not have the surplus ability or assets to handle agriculture."
Many of the trainees here learning to subdue honeybees with smoke and to seed a field with wheat berries had modest but sincere hopes for the week.
"This training gives us the knowledge to at least not mess things up," said Capt. Christopher Kennedy, of an Army Civil Affairs battalion out of Webster, N.Y., "when what we're trying to do is help."Continue reading the main story

I perform fairly routine spyware and virus scans and keep them up-to-date. I let my 12-year-old cousin borrow the computer earlier in the month and since then I had some slight spyware problems so yesterday I did another spyware and virus scan and it deleted a few infected files. I do not believe the computer was rebooted at all, so I'm not sure why all of a sudden the colors are backwards.
I tried searching online for a solution but I wasn't quite sure what to look for and the only thing I could find were people who had inverted displays as in whats left should be right, etc. Someone said that was a virus, so I figured my problem could be a virus and I did another scan with AVG and an alternate program that was reccomended.
Nothing was found and my colors are still inverted. I tried going through display settings but everything seemed normal although I might have missed something. I'm only a 17-year-old girl so when explaining, try not to confuse me. Although any help would be appreciated at this point.

I know it's kind of early to be thinking of closing, but now that I am off Baquacil, I wonder if I should think about changing my closing method. I live in North Central Florida. It freezes here at night several times throughout the winter. We have a lot of trees and they drop tons of leaves in the fall, and pollen in the spring.
In the past we have always just topped off the Baquacil levels, added a gallon of oxidizer, removed the ladder, and put a winter cover on. We do not drain water, or really do anything else with the pool through the winter. We don't add chemicals or filter while it's covered, except to turn the pump/filter on overnight when there are freeze warnings.
When it's time to open, it's a mess. We have to siphon water off the cover, drag the leaves off the cover, remove cover, brush & vac, get the water right, reinstall ladder, and get solar blanket on. Dealing with the winter cover is the worst part.
Now I am off Baquacil, doing BBB, and my Intex SWG should be here soon. I have no idea what I need to do differently now. My winter cover and pillow both need replacing if I'm going to use one this year. Would I be better off using a leaf cover instead… or leave the pool open through the winter? We have a PoolSkim return attachment that does a good job of getting the pine needles, but I don't know how well it would do when the BlackJack oaks start dropping their leaves and mess.
Any suggestions on a better method? Pros and cons to leaf net vs. winter cover vs. leaving the pool open?
What do other Florida people do?

but lately i've been thinking of random bella stories from when she was little. bella is now 14. she's the oldest niece and has always had a bit of an old soul. she's a gorgeous, geeky, diving, reading, burping, violin playing wonder.
earlier today i made a reference to being back in "two shakes" to someone. and i remembered playing a game with maybe a three year old bella at the time. she had to go to the bathroom and stopped and looked at me and "you wait here, z. i'll be back in 2 shakes."
or the time she kept throwing cardboard bricks at my brother's (her dad) head.
or the time she was maybe 9 months old and uttered her first word "hhhhat."
or the time we read about the mirror of erised together.
and now. now she says things like:
so, z, we're heading to new york this spring and you realize that the strand is a required stop. i mean, that is where dash and lily met and the notebook and the kiss and all of it. and also there's lots of books. also, we totally should go look for shoes somewhere. and then can we go to one of the museums? maybe natural history? is there a science museum? but the strand. that has to happen.

High Hopes challenge 69 - little gems
This week's High Hopes challenge is little gems......we are to add rhinestones or pearls to our project. I didn't post my card on the High Hopes blog because as it happens, my card is very similar to Alex's card. I was about to upload my card into the file last night, when I saw hers...same image, same color, same little pearls for the necklace. So.... since I didn't want to be a copycat (although I swear I hadn't even seen her card before I did mine, lol) I decided not to add mine. But I am showing it here!! I love Dress Up Danni....& you can get her HERE at 7 Kids College Fund! I used Copic markers & Prisma pencils to color the image. The papers are Basic Grey Kioshi....I don't usually use any kind of purple but these papers are so pretty! I added glitter to her shoes...pearls to her necklace....& the GORGEOUS Sugar Sparkly Fluff to her boa.
A couple of close ups of Danni.....don't you wish YOU had a pair of sparkly purple shoes?
Hopefully you can see the Sparkly Fluff in this picture....you can see all the colors available at 7 Kids HERE. I love this stuff & will need them *all*!!
I hope you all have a splendid Sunday, & a great week. It's supposed to be reallllly nice here this week.....it may even hit 70 on Thursday....so we definitely have spring fever here!!!!

No, silly, I wasn't arrested.
I'm using the prompts from the book my daughter bought me. Today's question:
"Where would you be pleased to find yourself locked up overnight?"
I used to daydream, as a kid, about being locked up in Sears, or the like, and sleeping on those teeny tiny quarter size beds, the ones they use to display bedspreads and sheet sets. I thought that would be the coolest of the cool, to be in a store after everyone left for the day, and to sleep on that little bed seemed - to me - to be the best of all possible worlds.
I probably didn't get out much as a child.
Now, I think my answer would be much different.
I think I'd love to find myself locked up in a library, or a bookstore. Or, even better - a coffee shop with a bookshelf.
Can you imagine - an entire night to read, in the dark and quiet, with a snack and a cup of coffee? I'd probably change the locks and not let anyone in the next day. I DEFINITELY WOULD NOT call for rescue.
And think - there would be no laundry to wash if you were locked in a bookstore.
Where would you choose?

Stevan Jovetic's agent seems to have poured some very cold water on the prospect of the player moving to North London. In an update that has just been reported by the Metro Fali Ramadani says his client is not interested in moving to the Emirates.
'Stevan prefers to stay in Italy rather than move away,' said Ramadani.
The 23 year old had previously been very keen on a move to the Premeihsuip, so it seems odd that he has changed his mind.
The news will alert Juventus who have been chasing the player, yet seem to prefer Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuain (another player linked with Arsenal).
So how seriously should we take this pronouncement? Well the Jovetic to Arsenal transfer is a saga of Illyiad style proportions and probably hasn't run its course yet.
If Juve do sign Higuain then expect the Montenegrin to be waxing lyrical about his love of Islington restaurants.
I wonder if the agenct is mischief making too as it seems that neither club will match his valuation of the player.
This one is set to run and run.

Transcript of 4.03 Renaissance Humanities and Fine Arts
By: Bobbi Eason 4.03 Renaissance Humanities and Fine Arts Architecture Buildings during the renaissance were usually built in 3 ways. Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, Ionic columns are the tallest and thinnest of the three. They tend to have scrolls at the top. Doric columns are sturdier than Ionic, their thicker and shorter. They are the least decorative out of the 3 columns. Doric seems to have no stand at the bottom like the other to do. Corinthian columns are similar to ionic in size, but have have a more elaborate design on the top. These columns can still be found today on important buildings; such as museums and government buildings. Inventions Inventions from the renaissance, has a great influence for us today. For example, the movable type. People always said," Watch your "P" and "Q". or why the p and q is on the opposite side of every keyboard. It was important to move the P and Q so nobody would get confused. Literature There was also a change in literature during the Renaissance. Writers from the renaissance rediscovered the old manuscripts from the greek and roman time. Part of the humanist studies, scholars started seeking the classic poetry and history. This gave them time to see what the renaissance wrote all about and what they were thinking. Art All the artists in the Renaissance did such a great job with their paintings, some are still famous and known by everyone today. For example, Michelangelo (1475-1564) One of his most famous paintings is Sistine Chapel.Full transcript

Israel evacuates tourists from Kenya
Israel has been evacuating its citizens from Kenya after two attacks on Israeli targets in the city of Mombasa which killed at least 15 people.
In an overnight operation that went on into the early hours, four military Hercules planes with teams of doctors and psychologists flew into Mombasa and evacuated injured Israeli tourists and all those who wanted to leave.
Earlier, the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon vowed to hunt down the perpetrators of the attacks.
American and Israeli investigators have arrived in Kenya to help with the investigation.
Twelve civilians - including one Israeli adult and two children - were killed alongside the three suicide attackers at an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa.
In a separate attack, two missiles narrowly missed an Israeli holiday jet that had taken off from the city's airport.
Mr Sharon has put the Mossad intelligence agency, which has a reputation for ruthlessness, in charge of investigating the attacks. American investigators are reported to have joined the hunt.
Mossad is best known for hunting down and killing several Palestinians suspected of the kidnap and murder of 11 Israelis at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Reduced to rubble
Kenya has pledged to spare no efforts in bringing to justice the perpetrators of the attacks.
Police said they were questioning two men who were detained in Mombasa after the attacks, but gave no further details.
Security has been stepped up throughout the country since the attacks, especially in coastal areas and national parks frequented by tourists.
The bombing, at 0800 local time (0500 GMT) on Thursday, reduced a large part of the Paradise Hotel to rubble and the rest to a smouldering shell.
Kenyan police said that as well as the three Israelis, nine Kenyans died, most of whom were said to be traditional dancers who came to welcome the tourists.
Three suicide bombers were also killed, they added.
The blast occurred just after some 60 visitors had checked into the hotel, all of them from Israel, hotel officials said.
In Lebanon, a previously unknown group called the Army of Palestine has said it carried out the attacks.
The group said it wanted the world to hear the "voice of the refugees" on the 55th anniversary of the partition of Palestine.
But Kenyan and Israeli officials speculated that Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network might have been responsible.
Washington condemned the attacks, but said it was too early to blame al-Qaeda.
"Today's attacks underscore the continuing willingness of those opposed to peace to commit horrible crimes," President George W Bush said in Crawford, Texas, where he was spending the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
"The United States remains firmly committed, with its partners around the world, to the fight against terror and those who commit these heinous acts."
Mr Bush urged all "those who seek peace... to dismantle the infrastructure of terror".
If confirmed as the work of al-Qaeda, it would be their first direct attack on Israelis - despite Bin Laden's hostility towards Israel.
Mombasa, on Kenya's Indian Ocean coast, is a popular destination for foreign visitors and the hotel was frequented mainly by Israeli tourists.
In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and neighbouring Tanzania were attacked in nearly simultaneous car bombings that killed 219 people and 12 people respectively. The US blamed al-Qaeda.
Coordinated, synchronised attacks are a hallmark of al-Qaeda, and the BBC's security correspondent Frank Gardner says months of careful surveillance clearly went into the latest Kenya attacks.
Near miss
In the second attack, missiles were fired at an Arkia airline plane - a Boeing 757 carrying 261 passengers.
The airliner landed safely at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv about five hours later. It was escorted in by Israeli F-15 fighter jets.
Kenyan police said a missile launcher and two missile casings were found in the Changamwe area of Mombasa, about two kilometres from the airport.
The Arkia charter company has a regular weekly service flying tourists between Tel Aviv and Mombasa.

Message from Teila K. Day
The photo in upper right corner will typically be my "pick" of the day or week... simply a photo that strikes my fancy from the gallery. The emphasis in these galleries is "realism". I enjoy capturing brain & body models... soccer moms, those who are well traveled and spoken, university educated military moms, and college grads who have real goals- you know, the 20 year old who aspires to study cellular/molecular biology at Johns Hopkins as opposed to the typical internet model wanting to be the next Playboy Playmate (of all things), and "getting married". I like photographing that which is controversial, progressive, smart, and or socially daring or damning. I like keeping their secrets; I loathe hypocrisy...
I fancy "partial" photography of consenting clients who would likely lose their job because of what they do on their own time (being photographed), which I think is ridiculous; the respective models and I get a kick out of their photographs being viewed all over the world by literally millions of people who have no idea who they are; Someone's mom? Your child's 3rd grade teacher? Your daughter or wife? Young military Lieutenant?
I think taking the long route; finding, then attempting to capture, the true beauty of a woman is not only more worthwhile, but a good bit more fun. We hope you enjoy the gallery.
Thank you for stopping by. Great things to come.

Sounds like a decent laundry list of things to do. Sorry to hear about the 300M problem , that is rather untimely. This will be my second rig with a Atlas in it. My first truggy had a 4.1 (or was it 4.3?) it was a long time ago, and my new one has a 3.8. The numbers don't seem that far apart but there is a difference on the trail for sure.
Oh and I use Imgur for hosting, tried google but half the people could not see my pic's .Red 1st gen 4Runner, White Buggy

January 16th, 2018, 05:24 PM #371
Im was right at 110. I think the font axle will sit in a really nice spot in the new engine if I push it out to more like 112. Im trying to decide if thats too much length for 38s. Im hoping this will be the last time I rebuild the front end.

January 26th, 2018, 03:23 PM #378
Well decided too take more of the frame out and go past the front link mounts I would have took the last 2 ft out but that a lot more work with motor mounts and shock hoops and so on... so its staying... for now lol so why I did this is because the frame straight in this area vs where I 1st cut it was still kicked out some
I did get the new frame rail fitted up and built a new rear upper link mount but for got to take a photo of that!

If you're looking for new I was quoted a decent price from skinny pedal racing on pirate. I'm looking for used myself, budget wise, but will likely end up going new from skinny pedal racing if I can't find a good used one soonish.
The buggy is looking great! Should be some good upgrades you'll appreciate.

Still working on this thing had the front suspension done with a 3 link but a buddy was over and we dropped it to full bump and we are pretty sure I can get a 4 link in there.... so Im now working on that.
Sold my front coil overs to hope to get some 2.5s coil overs up front down the road, ended up finding a deal on some air shocks so for now I am going to move the rear 14 shocks up front and up the air shocks in the back until funds for 2.5s later down the road.
The rear suspension is tack up waiting for my atlas to get here to check clearances for the rear drive shaft, trans cross member is tack up again waiting on the atlas to check clearances, all the flooring mounts are welded in... I think Im getting closer but the list is still long

This exclusive excerpt is from the new book Collecting Rocks, Gems & Minerals, Identification, Values, Lapidary Uses by Patti Polk (Krause Publications, 2010). Learn more at shop.collect.com.
Why do people collect rocks and minerals? There are as many reasons to collect them as there are types of collectors: for their beauty or rarity, for their monetary value, for lapidary or jewelry-making uses, metaphysical purposes, for scientific study, and for fun. Children especially love to pick up pretty and unusual rocks; it seems to come naturally to them.
People have been collecting and using rocks since the beginning of time for adornment and more practical purposes, such as toolmaking or as currency used in trade between tribes or cultures. Materials like obsidian or chert have been used for millennia for making knives, axeheads, and arrowheads; and copper, bronze, or iron was used for many of man's earliest hammers and tools. Some of the very first known uses of stones date to prehistoric times when simple necklaces and bracelets were strung together with pieces of bone, teeth, shell and stones for personal adornment.
The earliest signs of metallurgy appeared around 7,000 years ago when humans began using forged copper to make jewelry, and jewelry making is still one of the primary ways that people utilize rocks and minerals today. The metals gold, silver, platinum, and copper are just some of the minerals that have been mined throughout the ages and are used extensively in the art of modern jewelry making, combined with many beautiful precious gemstones like diamond, ruby, and sapphire, and semi-precious stones like quartz, agate, and turquoise. People interested in the art of lapidary generally prefer the semi-precious stone group for stone cutting and cabochon making, as their durability, color, and variety are best suited for those purposes.
One of the most common uses of gemstones is for faceted gems for fine jewelry. Most people have at one time or another worn a favorite ring or necklace set with a sparkling gemstone large or small that is special and meaningful to them in some way. Almost everyone is familiar with their personal birthstone and the qualities associated with it, and jewelry set with birthstones is often given as a gift for important birthdays and memorable occasions.
Sometimes stones are used in more unusual ways, such as for metaphysical purposes like crystal gazing, healing ceremonies, or wearing as personal amulets. Many people believe in the healing energy of stones, and use them for everything from stimulating their creativity to calming and relaxing their senses.
Another use of minerals is the hobby of collecting specimens for display. People collect them in many ways: by their size, such as micromounts or cabinet specimens; by their locality, mineral group or chemical class; by rarity; or by special properties such as fluorescence, to name just a few.
Mankind's diverse uses of rocks and minerals has grown over time from crudely chipping stones around a makeshift campfire into a prestigious, multi-million dollar industry, ranging from hometown rockhound or lapidary hobbyists who enjoy hand collecting their material in the field and polishing cabochons for fun or profit, to internationally renowned gemstone experts, jewelers, and mineral collectors who travel around the world to collect and purchase their valuable and prized specimens. Gem and mineral shows are held throughout the year locally, nationally, and internationally and are enthusiastically attended by thousands of people worldwide. In addition, numerous museums, clubs, organizations, publications, and websites are dedicated to the various aspects of rock and mineral collecting.
Due to the extensive scope of the rock, gemstone, and mineral collecting field, the focus of this book is primarily on the rocks and minerals that the majority of people would be interested in collecting for jewelry or lapidary use or for mineral specimens to display. As this book is intended to be used as a field guide, ease of use is a priority, with special emphasis on the beginning collector. And, above all else, always remember that rock and mineral collecting is a fun and fascinating hobby full of adventure, enjoyment, and education about the beautiful and enchanting treasures that Earth so generously provides for us. ?

The third time isn't quite the charm. Apparently, Apple's legacy of early onset WiFi issues in its iPads continues in the new generation. Just weeks after the launch of the third generation, 9to5Mac reports that Apple appears to be investigating the reception issues in the new iPad after a growing number of complaints about spotty connections.
The site says it obtained a screenshot of an AppleCare memo, directing employees to collect and replace troubled third-generation iPads displaying symptoms such as "intermittent connectivity," "slow WiFi speeds" or not seeing the network.
The screen shot reads, "In the United States, contact centers and retail stores should capture iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi only devices if they exhibit any issue related to Wi-Fi."
This "capture" directive relates only to the WiFi models, according to 9to5Mac.
Users reported the WiFi in the new iPad was significantly weaker than iPad 2, their iPhones and MacBook laptops on AppleCare support discussion threads almost immediately.

MOBILE, Alabama – The Mobile City Council's vote Tuesday on a resolution opposing the construction of an oil pipeline through Big Creek Lake watershed is a move that the council's attorney says is more than mere symbolism.
"It's more than symbolic," attorney Jim Rossler said Monday. "The council and mayor have said they are in opposition."
The resolution, which is to be voted on by the council during the meeting, opposes the transportation by pipeline of any substance within the watershed that may pose a risk to the public drinking water.
What the resolution doesn't include, however, is any formal opposition to the shipment and storage of Canadian tar sands oil into Mobile. A proposed resolution, presented to the council by a group of concerned citizens and environmentalists last week, included tar sands.
"It was two separate issues," Rossler said. "It was less confusing to deal with one at a time. The Big Creek Lake water issue seems to have more immediacy to it."
A Plains Southcap spokesman declined to comment about the council's proposal.
The resolution doesn't specify what type of substance the council opposes through the pipeline, other than it does not support "any substance" through the watershed.
Plains Southcap, within its condemnation lawsuit filed against the Mobile Area Water and Sewer Service last week, indicated that it wants to build the pipeline through a section of the watershed to carry crude oil and condensate, or the liquid produced by the condensation of gas or vapor.
An attorney who represented defendants in Plains Southcap's other condemnation lawsuits questioned the potential impact of transporting natural gas condensate through the watershed, saying it has the potential to be more damaging than oil.
Mobile County Probate Court Judge Don Davis did not weigh in on the types of substances that could be transported through the pipeline during the previous cases, most of which have since been settled.
Jarrod White, an attorney representing Plains Southcap, said last week that no natural gases will be shipped through the pipeline.
White said the reason condensate was included within their lawsuit against MAWSS was because "it is still a petroleum product,"
"We used the term in our complaint since the state and others in the industry occasionally distinguish between crude oil and condensate as products," White said. "It is part of the well stream but is lighter than traditional heavy crude oil."
Meanwhile, Rossler said he the city – which does not directly own any land in which the pipeline is routed – is monitoring the lawsuit against MAWSS to see where, or if, the city might fit in.
"They are working on it and where we go from here, I'm not certain," Rossler said.
Councilman William Carroll has since called on the city's administration to look for ways to join with MAWSS and other cities affected by the 45-mile pipeline that is being constructed from the Ten Mile facility in Mobile County to the Chevron refinery in Pascagoula, Miss.
"I still believe we need a united front of municipalities locally so we have one voice in this," Carroll said. "I hope the administration is moving forward in that direction."
Councilman Fred Richardson said there is only so much the city can do since the pipeline's construction did not require any land disturbance permits from Mobile city government.
Richardson said environmentalists – who demonstrated against the pipeline outside Government Plaza before last week's council meeting – are focused on Mobile city government because the meetings are more high-profile and televised.
"We do get our water from Mobile Area Water, but Prichard gets its water from there, Chickasaw gets its water from there and Spanish Fort gets its water from there," he said. "(Plains Southcap) got permission from the city of Semmes to cross their city and not one environmentalist went to the City Council of Semmes. Not one environmentalist went to the Saraland City Council."
Richardson added, "We are not allowing (Plains Southcap) to do anything and (environmentalists) converged on us. I don't know of anything the city can do. It's between MAWSS, the county and those municipalities that the pipeline runs through their city. They are not in the city of Mobile."
Council President Reggie Copeland said a ruling by Davis earlier this year in previous condemnation lawsuits filed by Plains Southcap might play a role in how much the city gets involved with the MAWSS case.
Davis ruled on April 24 that Plains Southcap does not have eminent domain authority to seize property because it's a limited liability company and not a corporation under Alabama state law. The judge, on June 21, reversed his ruling and allowed Plains condemnation rights in a case involving property partially owned by an incompetent, or disabled, person.
The council's resolution will likely be approved Tuesday, since all of the council members informally polled last week said they would support it.
"This resolution is beginning of an effort to ensure this pressure resource is protected," Councilman John Williams said. "This is beginning of our effort to ensure nothing happens to risk the watershed or Big Creek Lake."

10 Keys to a man's heart: Single girl's guide
You've been dating this guy for a couple of months now. You really like him. You like him so much, you're afraid to screw it up. Sometimes we do that because we get over-anxious and tend to come off needy, clingy or annoying. Refrain from being that spaz of a girl. Instead, read on for our tips on how to win his heart -- and how to be a good girlfriend.
1. Make Steak and Eggs
From breakfast to a good slab of beef, win his heart by knowing how to make his favorite of the two – steak and eggs – the right way. He might be a medium rare guy, he might prefer his eggs over-easy. Schedule a dinner in and make him a good meal (not because you're a woman and it's your job to cook – because it's not – but because you want to).
2. Wear Lingerie
Yes, it's that easy. Lingerie was obviously created for men, not women. In fact, sometimes all that lace and leather itches. If you want to turn him on, go ahead and put something super-sexy on. Just do it tastefully, or you'll just look like a tramp. And you can't win a man's heart if you're a tramp.
3. Know the Score
Most men are into sports. Are you a sports fan? If not, familiarize yourself a tad with his favorite team or sport so you can contribute to the conversation when he starts talking balls and games. No, you won't be changing who you are by just knowing a thing or two – we're not telling you to lie and pretend you know everything about baseball. Just have something to say about it. He'll be ultra-impressed.
4. Eat Junk Food
We polled some men and the majority of them said it's hot to see a woman who likes to indulge in burgers, fries and buffalo wings. Granted, a lady should never overdo it and must always eat politely, but the fact that you can hold your own and eat just like a man (well, almost like one) can be hot.
5. Give Him Freedom
If you really want to win his heart, lay off a little. Don't be that girl who's always keeping tabs on her man and not allowing him to hang out with his friends. Don't be attached to his hip. That way, it will give him an opportunity to miss you. Not to mention that his friends will love you for it, which brings us to our next point...
6. Be Good to His Friends
You think only ladies talk? No way. Boys talk just as much as we do. And to top it all off, men can be way more impressionable than women. They listen to what their friends say. If you want to get in good with your boyfriend, get in good with his buddies. They'll boast about how cool you are and that will be permanently ingrained in his brain.
7. Meet the Parents
If you are the type of girl he would love to bring home to meet mom and dad, you're in luck. You're almost there. You'll know you have his heart after you meet his folks and they give him the okay. Most men are like women – they want a life of bliss, the kind of bliss where family gatherings are fun, friendly and fabulous. When you meet the parents, be your charming self.
8. Maintain Your Fabulous Self
Do you ever see those women (hoping you're not one of them) who, when they fall in love or meet a man, lose themselves? They forget who they are, stop engaging in hobbies, let go of their
social lives. It's sad really. Just because you've found a man, doesn't mean you should lose yourself.
Maintain your life and all of the great things you were doing when he met you. Odds are, that's what attracted him in the first place. Don't lose yourself, so he'll always remember what he fell in love with.
9. Learn to Forgive
...To a certain extent, that is. We're not saying to forgive and forget the horrible stuff, but try not to sweat the small stuff. If he forgets to do the dishes, okay, discuss it. But don't become the man's mother and scold him for missed chores and being late. He'll likely get annoyed, and the worst part is, some of those mistakes were probably not on purpose.
10. Make Him Laugh
One key to a man's heart has a lot to do with giving him lots of chuckles. If you can be the beautiful, nice girl he adores and make him laugh, you're golden. Laughter means happiness and happiness will open up hearts like you wouldn't believe.

Wood Boats Film
We've produced a short film about antique, wooden speedboats. This was created from multiple photo shoots that were conducted during the recent summer boating season. The film includes still photographs, video, GoPro pov camera footage and video from a drone quadcopter. The two featured boats include a 1936 28' Gar Wood runabout and a 1930 30' Hackercraft runabout.

Boat Marketing Videos
We are producing marketing videos for those who are in the business of selling boats. These short (2 1/2 minute) movies are custom produced for each boat and include both still and video action photography. The photography is done from our chase boat on Lake St. Clair, Michigan. We need 2 to 3 hours of time on the water and a driver for the boat being photographed. These films can be uploaded to a seller's website or YouTube channel where potential buyers can view them. Aerial video footage from a quadcopter drone is available as an option.

Wood Speedboats Running Together
The drivers crossed in front of the camera while turning slightly. This allowed part of the decks to be visible. The camera lens was just a few inches above the water so it would have been difficult to see the decks if the boats were running perfectly level. The location was chosen both for the uncluttered background and for the relatively shallow water. 100-400 lens at 100mm, f5.6 at 1/1250 second, ISO 400.

Black and White Photo of Wood Boat
The photograph lends itself to the monochrome conversion because of the dramatic contrast between the dark water and the bright spray. The sky, too, is relatively dark while the boat consists of the middle tones. We used the channel mixer to make the adjustments with some additional subtle dodging of the spray and the roostertail to make them a little brighter.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
What is a Mastopexy (Breast Lift)?
Dr. Daniel E. Careaga offers mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift at his state-of-the-art Careaga Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. Careaga's full service cosmetic services practice is conveniently located in the heart of Miami, Florida, minutes away from the Miami International Airport.
As we age our skin begins to lose some of its elasticity. As most women know, this is particularly true for their breast tissue. Unfortunately, women find that their breasts begin to lose their firmness and shape or in other words, the breast begins to sag. Also, many women are unhappy about the appearance of their breast after pregnancy, nursing and/or weight loss as the breasts may have lost volume in addition to sagging.
A mastopexy or breast lift can help a woman to feel more confident in her appearance and self-esteem. Dr. Daniel E. Careaga often combines a breast augmentation with a breast lift to achieve his patient's breast and body shaping goals. At Careaga Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Daniel E. Careaga has performed hundreds of breast lifts to help women look and feel better.
Who is a Candidate for a Mastopexy (Breast Lift)?
Mastopexy, also known as breast lift surgery, restores the breasts to a more youthful state. By lifting and tightening the breast tissue most women feel a breast lift helps to restore contour to their body.
Many women have breast lift surgery because their breasts are sagging due to:

Individual results may vary.
- Genetics
- Weight gain and loss
- Aging on loss of fat and thinning of breast tissue
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding children
- Gravity's effect on breast disease
If sagging breasts bother you, Dr. Careaga and his professional team at Careaga Plastic Surgery Center can help. As previously mentioned, often mastopexy is performed along with breasts augmentation surgery. During your consultation with Dr. Daniel E. Careaga can help you decide how to achieve a more proportioned shape and contour for your body type.
What Results Can I Expect from a Mastopexy (Breast Lift)?
Dr. Daniel E. Careaga will carefully evaluate your breasts to determine if a breast lift is appropriate to accomplish your breast augmentation and breast shaping aesthetic goal. Dr. Careaga will discuss the eventual breast shape and size and give you an idea of what you can realistically expect after your breast lift.
Consultation Process with Dr. Daniel Careaga
Patient education is an important part of the consultation process before your breast lift. At Careaga Plastic Surgery Center, you will be required to complete a pre-op appointment prior to surgery. At this appointment you will discuss any additional questions, go over paperwork and complete your lab work. Dr. Daniel E. Careaga and his nursing team will give you specific pre- and post-op instructions for your breast lift procedure(s). Be sure to follow these instructions carefully to ensure optimal results. It is also important to avoid any type of blood thinners for a minimum of 2 weeks before surgery (i.e. aspirin, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba) and avoid smoking for a minimum of 1 month before surgery.
During your consultation, Dr. Careaga will review with you the surgical procedure and any associated risks.
Dr. Daniel E. Careaga's Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Surgical Technique and Protocol
Breast lift surgery is done as an outpatient surgical procedure under general anesthesia and takes from one to three hours. During your breast lift procedure, Dr. Careaga will remove excess skin from the lower portion of your breast to contour and lift the breast. Typically, Dr. Careaga will make small incisions. One incision is made around the areola, the second incision is made vertically from the areola on the underside of the breasts, and the third is a horizontal incision around the curve of the breasts. However, if the amount of lifting that is needed is limited, fewer incisions may be made.
Dr. Careaga uses one of most frequently used breast lift surgical technique, referred to as the Inverted-T Lift, Anchor Lift, Keyhole Lift (Anchor Mastopexy, Inverted-T Mastopexy, and Keyhole Mastopexy). The anchor lift is considered the "gold" standard for breast lifts.
This precise surgical technique allows Dr. Careaga to expertly remove the excess breast tissue and reposition the breasts so they are positioned higher on the chest. It should be noted that scarring is minimal using this technique.
The nipples and areola are often repositioned higher, on the front of the breasts. Nipples are not usually removed, but stay attached to the breast tissue to maintain sensation.
Recovery and Aftercare
Patients return home after breast lift surgery with instructions to wear a bra and very small bandages on the incisions. Dr. Careaga recommends wearing the bra for support for two to three weeks. Avoidance of strenuous activities is recommended.

Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE e4) is the genomics equivalent of Kim Kardashian: a gene variant that seems to have developed a taste for the limelight. Already established as the most significant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), APOE e4 has more recently been linked to the risk of a poor recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI), plunging the gene into the ongoing furor over contact sports and the risk of concussion.
What we know of the association between APOE and poor recovery from TBI raises as many questions as it answers, but there is substantial evidence to suggest that it is a risk factor. Multiple studies have demonstrated a link between the APOE e4 variant and worse outcomes after TBI, including prolonged recovery times and worse performance on cognitive tests weeks and months following the injury. In a 1997 case-control study, carriers of a single copy of the APOE e4 allele were twice as likely to have a poor outcome six months post-TBI, and subsequent studies suggested that a poor outcome was 3.5 to 14 times more likely for APOE e4 carriers.
Debates about the use of APOE testing have until now focused solely on its well-documented link to LOAD. Central to the arguments against routine testing is the absence of a medical intervention for LOAD. In fact, in a 2011 commentary in Genetics in Medicine by Jonathan Berg, Muin Khoury, and James Evans detailing a binning system for deciding what to do with incidental findings that result from genome sequencing, APOE was a poster child for Bin 2: "Clinically valid but not directly actionable."
The case against APOE genotyping hinges on the notion that susceptibility testing has some risk and limited value. Carrying even two copies of APOE e4 is not a definitive test for LOAD — the variant is neither necessary nor sufficient to develop the disease — and in general clinicians have been uneasy with the idea of giving healthy individuals information about their risk for a frightening disease that they cannot prevent. Concern about the possibility of psychological distress and the potential for stigma or discrimination has led a number of professional organizations to advise against the routine use of APOE genotyping, or to caution that it should be done only in the context of expert genetic counseling.
Perhaps people deserve the right to decide for themselves if carrying an APOE e4 allele might be a sort of tipping point in the difficult choice of whether to participate in sports with a high risk of traumatic brain injury.
On the other side of this debate is the widely cited REVEAL study, which looked at disclosure of APOE status to the adult children of parents with LOAD. In this healthy, albeit acutely concerned, cohort, the anxiety provoked by APOE genotyping was minimal and transient. The REVEAL study is not so much an argument for genotyping as it is an argument against the idea that people cannot handle this type of information. However, as the authors themselves have pointed out, "if APOE genotyping had been provided without genetic counseling or to subjects who had no family history of Alzheimer's disease, the results might have been different."
The connection to TBI, on the other hand, might be an argument for offering genotyping more routinely. It is true that APOE genotype will not definitively predict who will fall within the 10 to 20 percent of individuals with TBI who experience symptoms for months or even years. But concussions are a major concern for young athletes and their families. Football is the sport most affected by media coverage of concussion risk. For example, participation in the Pop Warner youth football league, the nation's largest youth football program, fell almost 10 percent from 2010 to 2012; the league's chief medical officer identified concern over head injuries as the No. 1 reason.
Unlike LOAD, TBI is a risk that can be mitigated. Should we be offering an imperfect test for susceptibility that may turn out to be understated or overstated — or totally wrong? Many are concerned that we will be unable to explain the limitations of the test. But isn't this, in all its limited and uncertain glory, exactly what personalized medicine is going to be? Perhaps people deserve the right to decide for themselves if carrying an APOE e4 allele might be a sort of tipping point in the difficult choice of whether to participate in sports with a high risk of traumatic brain injury.
This isn't a simple question. A clinician could make the argument that APOE genotyping should be available but not offered in a medical setting. Offering the test clinically gives it an imprimatur of reliability that it may not deserve, while relegating use to direct-to-consumer (DTC) venues puts the important job of explaining the test into the hands of people who are not incentivized to stress the limitations. A recent article in STAT detailed efforts by several DTC companies to market APOE genotyping to athletes, none with any success. Athletes, the article concluded, are not interested.
Recently, my colleagues and I published a study suggesting that the failure to attract an audience may say more about the messenger than the message. Our study of 845 NCAA athletes showed an enormous openness to genetic testing for an increased risk of poor recovery after TBI, with nearly three-quarters describing themselves as "possibly" or "very" interested in testing. We explained the possibility of learning about a potential susceptibility to LOAD, which we had hypothesized might be a deterrent to testing, and found that it actually made student-athletes more interested in testing. We asked hypothetical questions about their willingness to share the information, and despite acknowledging real concerns about how it might affect them, the vast majority of students indicated that they would share their APOE genotype with parents, coaches, and physicians.
The answers we need are less about saying no on behalf of our patients and their loved ones and more about figuring out ways to explain uncertainty and put testing in context.
Although we explicitly raised the issue that it could affect a coach's willingness to play them or a doctor's willingness to clear them for return to play after injury, a majority of student-athletes said that they did not believe this would influence their parents, coaches, and physicians, or that it might, but they would disclose nonetheless. More of them said they would be concerned about telling their doctors (41 percent) than their coaches (31 percent). Almost all of the student-athletes (93 percent) were willing to undergo APOE testing if it were required by the school as a condition of participation.
Is it far-fetched to imagine schools or leagues requiring testing? All NCAA schools already require sickle cell carrier status testing, despite the absence of definitive information on the implications of being a carrier. (Intensive exercise is thought to have caused the sudden deaths of several young athletes who carried a single sickle cell mutation.) TBI, by contrast, poses a far more extensive problem for leagues and schools. A lawsuit against the NCAA settled in 2015 allows athletes to sue individual institutions for damages secondary to concussions sustained as players. A suit filed this August accuses the Pop Warner football league of negligence and fraudulent misrepresentation with regard to the risk associated with youth tackle football. For athletic programs, the liability involved with high-risk contact sports may be an existential issue. But while individuals may choose to use a test like APOE e4 despite its limitations and uncertainties, third parties should not have that option.
It's been argued that student-athletes are not well positioned to advocate for privacy rights, and our survey does nothing to contradict that assumption. One argument for making APOE genotyping available clinically might be to ensure that the decision remains in the hands of athletes and their families, as well as to provide them with unbiased counseling and some explanation of the link to LOAD. Is this likely to happen in a doctor's office? Perhaps not, but it is certainly more likely to happen there than anywhere else.
APOE testing is complicated by its connection to multiple conditions and by uncertainty, both of which are going to be the rule and not the exception as we plow ahead with genomic medicine. We can put gene variants into bins, but they keep climbing back out of them.
The answers we need are less about saying no on behalf of our patients and their loved ones and more about figuring out ways to explain uncertainty and put testing in context. If we can do that, then we can offer the public more reality check and less reality television.

One way to document mental health is the mental status exam. This exam allows clinicians to record important mental functions and behaviors of their patients at a specific point in time, according to NetCE.
In the mental status exam, clinicians appraise of the overall appearance of a patient, as well as gender, age, race and hygiene status, explains NetCE. Assessments of motor activity note whether patients are displaying psychomotor retardation or agitation, as well as their gait, ambulation and coordination abilities. Speech assessments evaluate the rate, tone, and coherence of the spontaneous speech of patients. The clinician also measures affect, including the outward expression of emotion. Finally, the evaluation of mood records patients' overall emotional presentations, such as normal, depressed, anxious or euphoric.
Clinicians also assess the thought processes of their patients and their relation to reality. The insight of patients means their ability to understand their present circumstances and mental illness, according to NetCE. Judgment refers to ability of patients to make rational decisions and the clinician may describe it as intact, impaired or poor.
