This article is part of our FantasyDraft NBA series.
Tuesday's five-game slate represents the proverbial calm before the storm, as we'll have a mammoth pre-All-Star ledger Wednesday before the break. In the meantime, despite the limited number of games, there's a pair of marquee matchups in Thunder-Cavs and Timberwolves-Rockets, and plenty to monitor on the injury front with Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony both listed as questionable with ankle injuries. With several high-priced options and a solid number of mid-tier and value plays, let's get right to the business of breaking down some appealing choices at each spot:
Premium Option
James Harden, HOU at MIN ($20,300): The Rockets-Timberwolves tilt is currently projected as the highest scoring of the night. Given both teams' offensive firepower, that's a likely accurate designation. That puts several of the key pieces from both teams in play, beginning with Harden, who's scored 48.50 to 63.50 fantasy points in the last four games and over 50 in another four instances over the last 10. Moreover, Harden exploded for 102.00 fantasy points against the Magic on Jan. 30., substantiating that his ceiling is virtually limitless. Meanwhile, the T-Wolves have been increasingly vulnerable to two-guards despite the presence of Jimmy Butler, as they've allowed 48.1 fantasy points to the position over the last 10 -- including 53.8 over the last five – with both numbers representing significant increases over the 40.2 they've yielded the position on the season. They're also allowing the third-most made threes (3.4) to twos, as well as the sixth-highest percentage of scoring from three-pointers (33.3) over the last three contests -- numbers that particularly spell trouble against Harden.
Eric Bledsoe, MIL vs. ATL ($14,900): Bledsoe's teammate Khris Middleton ($14,400), Dennis Smith, Jr. ($13,500) and De'Aaron Fox ($12,800) are also all viable for those who need some savings, but despite a recent rise in price, Bledsoe has still outpaced his current cost in each of the past four games. The veteran has scored 35.25 to 44.00 fantasy points in those contests, eclipsing the 40-mark in three of them overall while shooting a blistering 58.9 percent (33-for-56). He'll draw a matchup conducive for more of the same Tuesday, considering the Hawks have allowed 39.1 fantasy points per contest to point guards on the season, including 43.1 over the last 10. They're also yielding the third-most threes (3.0) and fourth-highest shooting percentage (46.0) to the position over the latter span -- as well as the fifth-highest percentage of scoring from three-pointers (31.5) as a team on the season -- while Bledsoe has impressively drained 46.2 percent of his attempts from behind the arc in the last three.
Alex Abrines, OKC vs. CLE ($7,400): Abrines was the latest candidate to audition for the starting two-guard role in the wake of Andre Roberson's season-ending knee injury, and based on the results, he's likely in line for a multi-game stretch with the first unit at a minimum. Abrines compiled 27.00 fantasy points on Sunday against the Grizzlies, and the schedule makers afford him a juicier matchup Tuesday. The Cavaliers have been vulnerable to shooting guards all season, and the 51.3 fantasy points they've allowed to the position over the last five is a notable increase from the already-bloated 42.1 they've yielded on the campaign. They've also surrendered 3.6 made three-pointers to the position over the latter span and the second-highest percentage of scoring from threes (32.3) as a team on the season. Those two numbers that could spell trouble for the Cavaliers going up against Abrines, who's drained 40.0 percent of the 6.7 three-point attempts he's taken in the last three contests.
Jimmy Butler, MIN vs. HOU ($17,400): Butler is another key asset to hone in on in the marquee Rockets-Timberwolves tilt, especially considering he should see plenty of James Harden's spotty defense. Butler had scored over 40 fantasy points thrice, over 50 twice and over 60 in another instance in the seven games prior to generating a "modest" 31.75 fantasy points versus the Kings on Sunday. However, it should be noted that Jimmy Buckets took an atypically low nine shot attempts in that game (and drained 55.5 percent of them) and that he'd put up over 20 apiece in the three prior contests. Given what should be a high-scoring, competitive affair for all four quarters Tuesday, Butler should be similarly involved, leaving him poised to return strong value despite his elevated price.
Dwight Powell, DAL vs. SAC ($10,900): Powell's recent surge includes fantasy-point tallies of 27.50 to 35.50 over the last five games -- a stretch during which he's averaging 1.43 points per possession and 1.10 fantasy points per minute. The emerging big is encouragingly averaging 9.0 shot attempts over that span -- 11.0 over the last three in particular -- and he'll draw a tantalizing matchup Tuesday against a Kings frontcourt that's been unable to slow either power forwards or centers throughout the season. Sacramento is allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to fours (39.9) and to fives (34.4) on the campaign -- the two positions that Powell will potentially be deployed in. He also posted 31.25 fantasy points against this same Kings squad in his last meeting against them Feb. 3, furthering his case at what remains a reasonable price.
Davis Bertans, SA at DEN ($9,300): For those who have a few hundred extra, the Cavs' Cedi Osman ($9,800), who's scored 37.00 and 21.75 fantasy points in the last two games and will draw a third straight start Tuesday, is also worthy of consideration. Meanwhile, Bertans should be in the first unit as well in place of LaMarcus Aldridge (knee), who's already ruled out through the All-Star break. Bertans racked up 26.0 fantasy points in his Monday start against the Jazz, and he'd been over 20 fantasy points in the prior pair of contests as well. The Nuggets have been tougher against power forwards in recent contests, but they're still allowing the 10th-most fantasy points (38.5) to fours on the campaign. Those numbers are partly comprised of having surrendered the fourth-most made three-pointers (1.6) and fourth-highest shooting percentage (47.0), while the floor-spacing Bertans has taken 4.0 three-point attempts per contest over the last three.
Chris Paul, HOU at MIN ($16,800): Paul has scored 45.75 to 55.00 fantasy points in four of his last five contests, a stretch during which he's sporting a 25.4 percent usage rate while averaging 1.42 points per possession and 1.46 fantasy points per minute. The Timberwolves have also allowed the ninth-most assists (7.2) and the highest shooting percentage (45.0) to point guards on the season, and Paul lit them up for 47.00 fantasy points in his one prior meeting against them on Jan. 18. In what should be fast-paced, competitive matchup, Paul should be able to generate a similar caliber of production, which would represent a solid return on his current price.
Nikola Jokic, DEN vs. SA ($16,000): Jokic has averaged 18.0 points (on 58.3 percent shooting), 8.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.0 steal across 32.5 minutes in two prior meetings against the Spurs this season, while the 39.4 fantasy points per contest that San Antonio has allowed to centers over the last five represents a significant increase over the 31.6 they've yielded to the position on the campaign. Jokic has enjoyed a breakout season overall, but he's taken it to another level over the last month, a span that encompasses his last 14 games. He's scored 40.75 to 75.25 fantasy points in 11 of those contests -- and no fewer than 31.75 in the other three – while generating a 26.8 percent usage rate and averaging 1.45 fantasy points per minute.

Never let a personal favourite reach arbitration.
Those are the words that Senators general manager Pierre Dorion lives by and yesterday, the Senators announced that they had signed Jean-Gabriel Pageau to a three-year contract extension worth $9.3-million for an average annual value of $3.1-million.
Keeping with the organization's tradition of backloading contracts, Pageau will Pageau will earn $2.6-million in the first year and then $3.3-million and $3.4-million respectively over the last two years of his deal.
The contract extension covers Pageau's last three years as a restricted free agent, meaning that he is slated to test unrestricted free agency as a 27-year old at the end of this contract.
At first glance, I was a little surprised by the terms. Considering the organization's tendency to get their restricted free agents signed to bargains, I was expecting something similar to what Mika Zibanejad signed a two-year contract worth $5.25-million ($2.625M AAV) on June 25, 2015 – especially since Zibanejad had the higher projected offensive upside and pedigree.
In the NHL, production gets you paid, but in Pageau's case, his regular season production dipped in 2016-17.
One year after tallying a career-high 19 goals and 43 points in 2015-16, Pageau wound up netting 12 goals and 33 points.
I've seen some blame the drop in production on utilization. That because Pageau was being utilized in a shutdown capacity, his production was bound to suffer.
Although Pageau played tough matchups and was used as the shutdown centre, he was deployed in a similar role in 2015-16. According to Behindthenet.ca's 'Corsi Relative Quality of Competition' metric, Pageau had the highest value on the team. (As an aside, Zibanejad had the highest Corsi Rel QoC for the Senators in 2014-15 before signing his aforementioned two-year extension with the Senators.)
There's no question that playing tough minutes will negatively impact production, but the biggest reason for the drop is due to a regression in the number of situational goals that Pageau scored in 2015-16. After leading the league in shorthanded goals (seven) and being tied for the league lead in empty net goals (five) in 2015-16, Pageau only scored two of these situational goals last season. Without a marked jump in even strength production and without any power play goals or shorthanded goals, Pageau's numbers suffered.
The good news is that Pageau's an incredibly competent defender and his five-on-five production actually improved from the previous season and he spent the majority of the season playing alongside Tom Pyatt.
Interestingly, the duo only played 58 minutes and 22 seconds together at five-on-five in the postseason and when Pageau was separated from Pyatt, his production spiked. (As an aside, thanks to Brad from NaturalStatTrick.com for helping me procure Pageau's numbers from this postseason. Be sure to bookmark his website too, it's an invaluable hockey resource.)
|Regular Season w/ Pyatt
|Regular Season w/o
|Postseason w/o Pyatt
Now obviously it helped that Pageau shot 18.2-percent in the postseason (compared to his career average of 10.1) with four of his goals occurring in one spectacular and fanfuckingtastically glorious game against the New York Rangers. But, his production has historically taken a marked jump whenever he's not saddled by linemates who play a conservative game and struggle to help transition the puck from the defensive zone up the ice.
Although Pageau had varying levels of success this postseason playing minutes with skilled linemates like Bobby Ryan and Mark Stone, even going back a little further, Pageau first started having offensive success when he played alongside a noted possession driver in Erik Condra.
There's no question that Pageau's earned himself legions of fans thanks to his heroic postseason performances against the Montreal Canadiens and Rangers, but maybe there is enough underneath the hood to suggest that he's capable of producing more offence if given a larger role.
At the very least, it's easy to look at Pageau's production and role on the team and realize that he's comparable to what Sean Couturier brings to the Philadelphia Flyers. Even if you staunchly believe that Pageau's an inferior defensive player, given the production and cheaper salary (even if he agreed to a shorter term that may cost more money down the road), they aren't that dissimilar of players. (Note: Couturier signed a six-year extension in 2015 that carries an average annual value of $4,333,333. By the end of his contract, Couturier will earn $4.75-million during the 2021-22 season.)
With the presence of Colin White in the farm system and Derick Brassard only having two years left on his deal, maybe Pageau's capable of sliding into the top-six. Thanks to Brassard's offseason shoulder surgery, we may get our first opportunity to watch Pageau play in this capacity next October. If he plays well, maybe it gives the Senators reason to pause and weigh the possibilities of moving a centre like Brassard to address another position of need.
From a budget perspective, CapFriendly.com indicates that Pageau's contract brings the Senators' roster to 20 players signed at a projected cap hit of $67,387,500 with an estimated salary expenditure of $67,875,000. This number of players does include White, but there's no guarantee that he starts the season on Ottawa's roster. Mind you, the Senators would likely carry an extra forward and defenceman around anyway, so you're probably looking at adding a similar salary or upwards of two million dollars to the payroll anyways.
Last season the Senators had approximately $69.365-million committed to its cap and it look like the organization will be headed to a similar number this season. Looking forward though, it is impossible to wonder how much flexibility is left regarding the budget
At the end of the 2016-17 season, the Senators will have Mark Stone (RFA), Craig Anderson (UFA) and Kyle Turris (UFA) hitting free agency. Four of the six defencemen who are expected to break camp with the team are set to hit free agency as well. The payroll is going to jump significantly and that's before Erik Karlsson is slated to hit unrestricted free agency the following year.
It's not like Dion Phaneuf or Bobby Ryan are going anywhere with their contracts.
Unless the Senators find ways to boost their revenue streams and help offset these new contract extensions, it's going to be a chore for management to creatively structure its roster and fit them it without a sacrifice to this team's depth (and potentially competitiveness).

Choosing the right medical coverage can be a daunting task, especially for those who suffer from chronic illnesses or have a large family. Xerox HR Services recently released its 32nd National Healthcare Trend Survey and found that since 2010 healthcare costs have dropped from 11.6% to 8%. Despite this drop, when compared to the inflation rate, cost still maintains a wide lead above inflation, which the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics says is sitting at 1.4%.
This wide gap between cost and inflation has caused many employers to shift more cost over to employees. This has resulted in some consumers weighing price into their decisions of where and when to seek healthcare, and even delaying treatment due to cost.
Also see: "Agent participation in federal marketplace grows."
"While it's promising to see a slowing of increases, healthcare cost increases are still eating into employer revenue and employee paychecks at four or five times the rate of inflation," says Harvey Sobel, principal and consulting actuary at Xerox. "Plan sponsors should remain vigilant, reviewing all facets of their medical plans, including benefit design, networks and vendors, to make sure they and their employees are getting the best value for the price."
Some of the reasons medical cost continues to stay higher than inflation are due to use of diagnostic tests and treatments, limited reimbursement to providers from Medicare and Medicaid, mandated coverage of certain benefits, such as expanded mental health benefits and prosthetic legislation, increased administrative costs associated with new regulations, and up-front costs associated with new medical technology and treatments, according to the Xerox study.
Prescription medication
Prescription drug cost is another avenue of healthcare that is not seeing a reduction. Many Americans have seen this topic as one of the core subjects in the current presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. With the projected rate of increase rising from 6.7% in 2010 to a current 8.8%, respondents to Xerox's study cited three key reasons for the rise.
First, the continued impact of specialty drugs, where, as an example, treatment for multiple sclerosis can cost more than $50,000 a year. Second, an increase in the number and use of pharmaceutical products that improve the quality of life and enhance lifestyles. And third, a dramatic increase in the number of expenses of compound pharmaceuticals.
"While specialty drugs continue to be a major component of prescription drug trend increases, there is a sizeable expense related to specialty medications billed under the medical benefit," says Robert Ferraro, principal in the national pharmacy practice of Xerox. "Plan sponsors have an opportunity to save money by making sure these non-oral medications are administered at the appropriate site of service."
Also see: "Healthcare strategies that can save employers money."
Dental and vision are no exception
The survey also reported trend factors for dental and vision plans, with both showing lower and steady rates of cost increase. Between 2007 and 2016, dental plans have seen a decrease from 6.9% to 5%, while vision plans have seen a decrease from 3.6% to 2.9%.
Sobel says he has seen some companies offering dental included with major medical on individual health exchanges, but not to the point that it has taken off as a trend.
"Dental coverage usually covers a lot of preventative treatment, but because the Affordable Care Act, we have seen companies offering health insurance on the individual health exchanges that do have to cover dental for newborns and pediatric dental," says Sobel. "That's sort of coverage where we are seeing medical plans offering dental but I don't think I've seen it take off as a trend, not to say it couldn't."
Shawn Jenkins, CEO of Benefitfocus, said in his final thoughts of the company's 2016 State of Employee Benefits – Large Employer Edition, that it is reports like this and others like the one provided by Xerox that are giving advisers, brokers and employers the necessary information to educate themselves on the state of benefits in the U.S. and to make an informed decision on how to prepare their clients and staff for future obstacles.
"As we see from the data, employers recognize that to continue to provide the protection their employees need during this time of industry disruption, they must make fundamental shifts in their benefits offerings," Jenkins says. "Many have experienced success in shifting costs and creating a consumer-driven healthcare model by offering HDHPs along with traditional plans, some even going as far full replacement. These consumer-centric benefit strategies are not only being well received by the workforce, specifically millennials, but they are also shielding large employers from impending taxes and penalties — no matter what form they may eventually take."

Broadcast your message with live event streaming services
Hundreds, thousands or millions of viewers with live event streaming services
Live video is also excellent for driving engagement and is enjoying a boom right now because viewers are taken with the live experience.
Mediapolis specializes in turnkey, live, multi-cam HD production for TV and online broadcasting (webcasting) of live events. Before webcasts, webinars were a simple way to communicate your message audience and answer questions. But without live video of the presenter, the experience was easy for the audience to tune out. Live streaming or webcasting gives you an effective way to connect with your audience, even when the presenter can't physically be in front of the audience. Higher engagement is achieved with a live streaming experience.
Full-service webcasting includes a skilled technician who coordinates all aspects of the Webcast from start to finish. During event production, we bring everything you need for the webcast. A high-speed Internet connection is the only requirement.
Mediapolis is a complete live event streaming services provider. Our professional, affordable streaming production service is capable of delivering HD live streams for any type of event. Choose between a single or multiple cameras.
Camera Options
A single camera is the most basic way to stream an event. It is ideal for capturing a single presenter. If that presenter is stationary during the event we can also incorporate their presentation slides within the live stream. We can live switch between the presenter and the slides or frame the sources as a picture-in-picture where the slides and the presenter occupy portions of the screen. The ability to produce live events with a solo crew person is a huge competitive advantage because it reduces the live streaming costs for our clients.
With multiple cameras your event takes on a higher degree of professionalism and viewer engagement. Multiple cameras provide audiences with the best viewer experience. Multi camera setups work well with panels, conversations, performances or demonstrations. When only one camera is used with multiple speakers, the camera needs to pan from one speaker to the other. Multiple cameras eliminate this awkward camera movement. Multicam setups requires more planning and lighting to make sure the footage from each camera matches. But with multiple cameras, you instantly create more visually dynamic and interesting scene.
Multi-camera setups have two, three or four cameras and require a bigger crew and more equipment to capture the angles. Depending on the scale of the production, the crew may consist of camera operators, a technical director, a sound engineer and an encoding engineer. If the production is rather simple some crew members may do more than one job.
Streaming Options
During the event, the director is able to switch between different camera positions and angles. For multi-camera setups where the director needs to communicate with the whole crew, we use a wireless intercom system. The talkback function allows the technical director to coordinate with camera operator via headset. Other features of the live event include:
- Lower screen graphics (titles and logos)
- Media insertion (videos, audio, graphics)
- Picture in picture
- Live PowerPoint insertion
- Video switching with transitions
- HD cameras
- Full HD recording
- High quality audio
- Optional telephone interface to capture high quality audio from a telephone
Set your event apart from the ordinary with design elements that engage the audience. We can custom build show openers, bumpers, titles and other content that brands your show and makes it sizzle.
Live Streaming
Your audience can be dispersed worldwide and watch your event directly from any internet-connected device, including computers, tablets, and smartphones. Clients, executives, fans, and customers can view a high quality live stream of the event in real time without having to be at the location, saving valuable time, energy and enabling you to reach viewers you would have never reached before.
Examples of live streaming event services include:
- Product Launches
- Branded Events
- Speakers
- Banquets
- Conventions
- Promotional Events
- Trade Shows
- Virtual Meetings
- Presentations
- Employee Communications
- Panel Discussions
- Live Concerts and Performances
- Interviews
- Live Q&As
- Sporting Events
- Church Events
- Town Hall Meetings
- Funerals and Memorial Services
Your live event can be embedded to play on multiple websites – your website, clients' website, sponsors' website, or a customized landing page where you can control the video player's size, background, layout, branding and even incorporate interactive chat.
At the end of the day, you'll be given event analytics with real-time viewer profile data, so you'll know your audience's demographic, size, duration of viewership, access point, and more. Afterwards, you'll have access to a video on demand (VOD) recording. Live video produces a recorded asset that is easy to edit for use in other projects. You can even monetize your video stream with pay per view, subscriptions, advertising, shopping carts and with other options.
A time-lapse of the event can also be recorded.
We'll work with your team to build the right package with the features you want and need. Then our experts will set it all up for you and see it through from start to finish.
Every live event streaming needs a content delivery network (CDN) that provides the platform and the servers to reach your audience. The CDN options range from free services such as YouTube Live and Facebook Live to more business-directed services such as Ustream or Livestream that let you go "white label" and completely brand the service as your own. We can setup and manage your YouTube channel so that you can stream live from your channel. We can also live stream to your Facebook page.
When you need live streaming event services in Minneapolis, please call us at (612) 486-2221 or email us through the contact us page for more information.

1. Protein diet for fast hair growth:
Food is very important to set the parameters of hair regrowth. Sometimes you can have a complete improvement only by changing your eating style. When it comes to change the diet, you need to pick up all healthy foods. It is popular that a high protein rich diet makes the best improvement in hair growth. However, avoid protein foods that have high-calorie or are excessively oily. Instead of the complex cooked foods, simply select proteins that are easily digestible. Milk, nuts, eggs, lean meat, beans, soybeans, broccoli, marine fish are just some of the excellent dishes that are both tasty and healthy.
2. Learn how to comb your hair:
Massive hair fall is often a result of improper combing. Therefore, first and foremost, you must learn how to comb your hair. Pick up a good quality brush for this purpose. Do not overload stress on the scalp. Comb from the roots to the tips and comb generously. combing your hair provides a good massage of the scalp. This would improve the blood flow to the scalp and would be able to produce hair growth directly with it. So, combing for two minutes at a time and repeat the process twice a day.
3. Oil-treatment of hair:
A warm oil treatment proves to be useful to generate hair regrowth. But it is extremely important if you are serious about the cause. Olive oil, coconut oil and castor oil and the most efficient of all, Argan Oil are very effective for hair growth. You can combine all of these oils for added value and gently massage on the scalp and hair.
ArganRain Argan Oil is the most suitable and the mild one for this reason. It is pure and natural and specially designed for hair regrowth. You can be sure that you wont regret by choosing ArganRain!

Geoecological analysis in coal mining settlements
The effects of coal mining activities on the Arctic environment have been quantified in the areas of Longyearbyen and Barentsburg.
Both the historical and actual sources at both locations are identified and evaluated.
During field excursions in 2013-15, snow and soils in the areas of potential impact and reference locations were sampled for further analyzing the wide range of contaminants including trace metals and polycyclic hydrocarbons. Morphological properties of soils were also examined and the landforms relating to accumulation, degradation and transport of pollutants were identified. Snow sampling was combined with morphological observations as well as thickness and density measurements.
Analysis of spatial distribution of airborne coal particles in snowpack demonstrates the influence of local sources over long-range of transportation pollution. The airborne particulate matter in snow samples contains a wide range of carcinogenic and mutagenic compounds including one of the most harmful types such as Benzo(a)pyrene.
The results of pollution concentrations obtained from experiments demonstrate the need to identify local sources of contamination and to develop environmental monitoring networks.

Individual Assignment #1
In 1996, Gillette acquired Duracell batteries for $7.3 billion in stock. The purchase was met with optimism not only by Gillette's senior management and its highly visible director, Warren Buffett, but also by Wall Street analysts. Despite the initial enthusiasm, Duracell had become a drain on Gillette's performance and had brought an end to Gillette's impressive earnings growth history. It had also cost Michael Hawley, a former CEO, his job after only 18 months in the position, due to his inability to turn around the financial hemorrhaging at the Duracell division.
Suppose it is 2001 and you are a business consultant. James Kilt, the newly hired CEO of Gillette, hires you to write a 3-page and double-spaced consulting report for him. Considering what had cost his predecessor's job, Mr. Kilt asks you to provide recommendations on the question: How to turn around the Duracell division?

INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - Senator Richard Lugar, a 35-year veteran of the Senate, on Tuesday conceded defeat to challenger Richard Mourdock in the Indiana Republican primary.
Lugar, 80, was the first Senate incumbent to be defeated in the 2012 election year.
"My public service is not concluded," Lugar told supporters in Indianapolis. "I look forward to what can be achieved in the Senate in the next eight months despite a very difficult national election atmosphere."
Lugar was attacked by his conservative opponent for some votes in support of President Barack Obama.

A Good Friday
Productive day today - cooked up a big batch of our staple tomato pasta sauce. It used up just over 2kg of my tomatoes, some of which were beginning to look a bit tired, so it was good not to waste them. Also picked about 350g raspberries, and planted up my garlic in one of the front beds. I must show you some pictures of the front yard's transformation. Perhaps tomorrow ...

Look what I found hidden (amongst the weeds actually! LOL) right near the ground as I was admiring all the new baby eggplants coming along towards the top. Yum yum! And I have a few quite large green capsicums that I've been trying to be patient enough to let turn red in situ - so I feel a caponata coming on ...

February update
Hi everyone, I made a few goals and shared them with you at the beginning of the year. So I thought it would be good to share where I'm up to at the end of the first month:
- Loads of quality time with the family
- Good progress. Finally sorted little Charlie's swimming lessons out so they are at a time that suits her (early morning rather than late morning when she's tired and grumpy). Looking forward to spending some more time with DD when she goes on mat leave for baby II in April.
- Love spending my days with DH, but he's going away again in a couple of days.
- And today is my darling boy's 39th birthday. I miss him terribly but am trying to think happy thoughts and conjure up happy memories – he had the best, most infectious laugh ever! Nearly 3 years since we lost him, and I still think of him every day.
- Establish front garden
- The wonderful Sustainable Gardener comes back on Wednesday for the first time this year, and I think he'll probably finish the infrastructure this week – ie finish gravelling the paths, and mulching the beds. Then its off to the creek for some tadpoles and the garden centres for some plants.
- This is a whole of year goal …
- Find a moveable chook house that works for me and the chooks and is secure enough to keep next door's cat out!
- Well, I'm kinda pleased with this one! It's a bought hoop-house greenhouse, courtesy of Ebay and manufactured in China. It's dead cheap, super easy to erect, and light as a feather. Obviously, not particularly sturdy, and I nearly had a disaster before it was even in place. I fell into it while trying to fling the tarp over the top, and bent a couple of the struts, and broke a couple of the connectors. But 20mm pvc pipe fits over the connectors perfectly and keeps it all together. The girls (did I tell you I have 6 now?) like it because they are protected from the pesky cat next door. The three new girls are in the first photo below. Wellesummer/New Hampshire crosses apparently. They're very sweet but very shy.
- Make more staples from scratch – bread, biscuits, pasta, preserves, yoghurt etc
- I finally mastered the art of the choc chip cookie – DH's staple for morning tea!
- I went to a wonderful bread-making workshop hosted by one of the Canberra Urban Homestead Clubbers, and made some truly wonderful focaccia. Also received a wonderful everyday bread recipe which I will try out. Am on the look-out for plain rice crackers/rusks for littlies. And am about to try a couple of cheese savoury biscuits.
- Haven't made pasta or yoghurt yet.
- We do make most of our meals from scratch, which is why it wasn't listed as a goal.
- Get rid of the weed trees
- This is a job for autumn or winter
- Maintain and improve the back garden's food forest production
- I was interested to read Gavin's post about not having a great year because he'd forgotten to mulch way back before Christmas. I have had a very mixed Spring/Summer with bugs galore eating most of the seedlings; some nasty getting to the tomatoes, and the nectarines rotting on the tree thanks to the leaf curl infestation in early spring.
- However, on the up-side – I have made fabulous compost! So, I've mulched a bed whose soil was in a terrible state and mulched heavily and planted broccoli, Brussels sprouts, bush beans, cucumbers, lettuce, and sunflowers just this last weekend. Here's hoping!
- Exercise, get fit, and lose weight – ie improve and maintain my health
- Definitely could do better on this one. February must be the month I start walking and cycling again.
- Continue to Learn, Grow, Share and Enjoy!
- I love this aim, cos it can be applied in so many ways! I believe I am learning and growing as a gardener, and as a cook, as a professional in my job and as a family member – especially learning to be a Granny! I'm sharing my produce and my expertise wherever I can, and for the most part, enjoying life!
Enjoy your February everyone!
Hopefully I'll post a bit more regularly again now …

New Year Goals and a Challenge
Well hello everyone in Blog-Land and Happy 2012!
I for one am glad all the festivities are over, so I'm no longer tempted by the gorgeous food and wine that accompanies the season. Although – there is still lots of my lovely SIL's wonderful Christmas cake to finish off before we head home!
It's been mild, but still cold over here in the North of England over the Christmas season. No snow, no frost, but lots and lots of rain, so everywhere is drab and damp and grey. A bit different from last year when it was a White Christmas and very bright. Beautiful – but Oh so cold and treacherous underfoot as well. It had melted by the New Year. So, we saw in 2011 in England with DH's parents and we saw in 2012 in the same way! We had a lovely, quiet time and I turned into the biggest kid ever over the fireworks – running up and down the stairs to see the differing views from all of the windows!
Anyway, its January 1 now, so one's mind turns to plans for 2012. Not resolutions as such, more a wish list and set of goals of what I'd like to achieve this year in my food forest, and more sustainable lifestyle. I've just read Gavin's and Hazel's blogs and my goals are in line with what they're saying.
First, with the help of the Sustainable Gardener and his wonderful team, the front garden has gone from a dream to being just about ready to plant up. Yippeee! I think by the end of January, or perhaps February, I'll be raiding catalogues, visiting garden centres and market stalls (darling daughter gave me shopping vouchers for TWO garden centres this Christmas, and I have $100 saved from my birthday stash as well!) to buy the canopy for the forest. And probably a few other bits and pieces that I just won't be able to resist – LOL!
In terms of the canopy, I have to find room for a black mulberry, my lovely fig from one of the Urban Homesteaders, and one of those beautiful magnolias with the huge dinner-plate size white flowers. Not a food tree I know, but it will attract birds and bees and other good insects, so it's a helper.
I've also learnt as a result of some of my research, and some of my lovely blog-friends, how important it is to have lots of natives, especially native shrubs so the little birds can hide from the big ones – the flowers act as a decoy from the fruits of the forest, and there's lots of good insects that are attracted by native shrubbery as well. Excellent! Add that to shrubby food producing trees, and I have the second layer of the forest sorted too! So native shrubs are on the list as well. As is a bit more research to find out what is truly local so that I help to rebuild and sustain the truly native flora. We have quite a few native trees, so they are contributing to the food forest's canopy as well.
Stay tuned for pictures of progress once I get home.
So as not to make this post waaaaaay too long, here's the short list of my goals for the year:
- Loads of quality time with the family
- Establish front garden
- Find a moveable chook house that works for me and the chooks and is secure enough to keep next door's cat out!
- Make more staples from scratch – bread, biscuits, pasta, preserves, yoghurt etc
- Get rid of the weed trees
- Maintain and improve the back garden's food forest production
- Exercise, get fit, and lose weight – ie improve and maintain my health
- Continue to Learn, Grow, Share and Enjoy!
Well, that should keep me pretty busy! Let's see how we go.
What are your goals for 2012? Leave me a comment or link back to your blog in the comments section below.
I'm thinking I may start a monthly review section – research suggests people who review their goals regularly are more likely to achieve them. Do you want to join me?
Have a great start to the year everyone!

What Is Air compressor Check Valve ?
Check valves are a critical component to air compressors. Some compressors may even have multiple check valves. What does a check valve even do? How do you test to see if your air compressor check valve is working how it is supposed to? There is an easy way to test the valve, and you do not even need very many supplies.
Testing the valve requires a little know-how when it comes to the mechanics of it. That being said, you can always bring in your air compressor and have it tested professionally. You do not need to get yourself in over your head. The unsure you are, the larger the margin of error is, so be cautious.
Check valves are essential to maintaining. This is because they prevent air from moving back to where it is coming from. Without this, there is a chance of contamination and leaking air. That is the last thing you want to happen with your compressor.
Air Compressor Check Valve , What Will You Need ?
As I mentioned, there are very few supplies that you will need for this task.
- Air compressor with check valve(s)
- To begin with, you will obviously need an air compressor.
- Screwdriver
- A small hammer will also suffice
- You can also use whatever you find works. Tools are ideal for the job, however. As long as it is strong enough to tap the valve and get a response, it should be fine.
- An assistant to help with the process
- This is important. Having someone to look over your shoulder and help you out when you need it will be significantly useful. They will also be able to give you support if something goes awry.
- Your ear
- You check the valve using your hearing. This is where an assistant can come in handy. If your hearing is less than ideal, find someone who will be able to tell you what they hear.
These are the components of a check valve for an air compressor. During your check, you will be looking to see that the spring inside is not out of place. There are many different check valves out there, so this is just a general picture. The relative idea is the same for all of them.
resource: fix-my-compressor.com
Here are the steps to take to check your check valve:
- Turn off the air that is being pushed through the air compressor. This is critical for any type of check valve. Follow the supply line to the valve and turn it off and then wait 15 minutes. The 15 minutes are important to relieve the pressure that has built up over time. When the 15 minutes are up, it is time to move on.
- Look for debris with your ears. Yes, you read that right. Take your screwdriver or hammer and tap the valve on its side. If you hear a rattling noise, all is well. Squeaking or grinding can mean that there may be some debris or that there is a leak.
- Take the top off of the valve and check inside. Remove any debris that has accumulated. You should see everything in the right spot, and nothing should be loose or out of place.
- After this, replace the cap on the valve. It is time to do one last test to ensure that the check valve is working properly with the real thing.
- Have your assistant turn the air back on. After they do so, place your hand on the side of the valve and listen for any air whooshing out. You should hear clicking that indicates the valve is indeed working. If you hear any air, re-check the check valve and see if you cannot figure the problem out yourself.
- If all is well, keep your compressor on and let it be. If not, take it to a professional to diagnose the problem. There is only so much you can do yourself, and there is nothing wrong with asking for a little help.
Checking you air compressor check valve is relatively simple. The main thing you have to make sure that you do is turning off the compressor before doing any work on it. Other than actual projects, that is. Do not keep it on while you are testing the valve for it can cause many problems.
Air compressors can be an awesome tool to have. They can help you do all of your tasks, and you will never want to use hand tools ever again. With many uses, air compressors are handy and will do you good with your projects.

Republicans struggled to deal with the fallout from Donald Trump's widely condemned remarks on Muslims Wednesday, worrying the controversial mogul could torpedo their 2016 White House hopes. The party — which hopes to end eight years of Democratic White House occupancy — faces a stark choice between turning on their presidential frontrunner and tethering a 161-year-old brand to the whims of a billionaire many Americans see as a bigot. "I like and respect Donald Trump," said Senator Ted Cruz, who is a favorite of conservative Republicans.

What Is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is the only non-invasive procedure FDA-cleared to lift skin on the neck, under the chin and on the eyebrow. Now also FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the decolletage, Ultherapy can help you achieve a fresher, more youthful look from your brow to your chest! Consult with us to learn how much Ultherapy costs.
How Does Ultherapy Work?
Ultherapy harnesses the power of ultrasound to transform the brow, chin, neck and chest. Ultrasound, of course, has been used safely throughout the medical field for more than 50 years—and Ultherapy has been established as safe and effective in clinical studies and in more than 350,000 treatments worldwide.
Ultherapy relies on ultrasound therapy to deliver its collagen-boosting treatment. It also incorporates traditional ultrasound imaging, which allows practitioners to see the layers of tissue they are treating, ensuring the treatment energy is delivered to where it will be most beneficial.

Karsiah flew to Dallas on Monday to reconnect with his dad, but he died before their scheduled meeting Wednesday. Duncan had told a nurse he was excited about reuniting with his son, who plays football at an American university. 'I'm so proud of him; I can't wait to see him,'" Duncan said.

"The late Marshall McLuhan, a media and communication theorist, coined the term"global village" in 1964 to describe the phenomenon of the world's culture shrinking and expanding at the same time due to pervasive technological advances that allow for instantaneous sharing of culture".
Imagine the vast spectrum of all the cultures in the world. Listen to the music—from the gentle drum beats of Africa, to the melodic didgeridoo of Australia, to the scream of the electric guitar. Taste the curry from India, the coconut milk from Thailand, the cheeseburger from the United States. Now imagine that all these cultures are compressed into one super-culture.
the visionary media theorist who gave us the phrases "global village" and "the medium is the message," was born a century ago. At the time, McLuhan's journey from obscure Canadian English professor to world famous sage was almost complete. He was the first to tell IBM, for example, that they were not in the machine business, but the information business. Today, the term "information technology" is commonplace, but fifty years ago it was a revolutionary idea.
It is no exaggeration to say that McLuhan also predicted the internet. While other futurists declared that computers could lead to either utopia or Big Brother, McLuhan quietly anticipated Facebook and Twitter. Writing in 1967, thirteen years before the first Web site even went live, McLuhan got the trivial, distracting qualities of our digital life just right. He told us there would someday be "one big gossip column," powered by an "electronically computerized dossier bank," that would keep an uneraseable record of our tiniest actions. This would be the background noise against which our lives would play out.
How did McLuhan attain such foresight? Through "pattern recognition," yet another phrase we owe to him. As a way of thinking, it is an excellent tool for survival in a world of information overload. In pattern recognition, facts are less important than the patterns they reveal, and comprehension takes a back seat to intuition. It is a skill we have all had to learn just to keep pace in our jobs and our lives, though not everybody can apply it as widely and effortlessly as McLuhan did.
It is a fact of nature that animals that are in danger of being eaten watch everything at once. Prey species-cows, sheep, gazelles, zebras-warily scan their surroundings, never riveting on a single object. Only predators point with their eyes. Hawks, wolves, tigers-and humans-gaze directly at what they want to eat, or ponder. Consequently computer scientists are designing machines that can monitor what we`re looking at. Stare at any part of the monitor screen, and the machine responds.
When used today, "global village" usually has positive connotations. As media and commerce make us more interconnected, the argument goes, the world shrinks into a peaceful, prosperous, global village. But McLuhan did not think of the global village as a happy place at all. He saw it as a place of terror, the home we would all have to move to when electronic media had finished re-tribalizing us.
The last ten years conform painfully with McLuhan's predictions. High hopes for globalization have given way to what seems now like permanent economic uncertainty. Privacy has become harder to manage in the age of social media, and may even seem old-fashioned to the rising generation. The War on Terror is still officially being waged, and is perhaps the most McLuhan-esque feature of the present.
Since it began in 2001, the War on Terror has slowly become one of those assumptions behind every news story — part of the media environment that we step into every day, as McLuhan once famously said, "like a warm bath." The News of the World hacking scandal, with its terrible crime, invasion of privacy, global scope, and empowered popular outcry could be the perfect illustration of all of McLuhan's ideas operating at once.


text: Adding Features and Function to Forms 281 You can change the design of a subform--for example, set form properties or move and resize controls on the subform--when you have the main form open in Design view. The subform control is different from the subform itself, and each object has different properties. To select the subform control, you can click anywhere on the control. To select the subform, you can double-click the form selector for the subform, which is the small rectangle in the form's upper left corner. Organizing Data with a Tab Control If you've used a recent version of Microsoft Office or one of the other applications that run on Microsoft Win- dows, you're probably familiar with dialog boxes that present information on a series of tabs--pages organized like file folders with a tab at the top of each page. The Options dialog box in Access is an example. A tab control can be used to organize a large amount of data on a single form. You can place groups of controls from a single record source onto different pages or use pages to display a series of subforms that each have a different record source. A tab control contains two pages by default. You can add pages to a tab control and also change the order of the pages in the control. You set properties for the tab control and the pages that a control contains independ- ently, although some formatting properties--such as font size and color--that you set for the tab control affect all the pages the control contains. To add a tab control to a form, click the Tab Control tool in the toolbox, and then click in the form. To add another page, right-click the tab control, and then click Insert Page. To select a tab control, click one of the boundaries of the control. To select a single page within the control, click the page's tab. When you're working with a tab control on a form, try selecting the control and a page with the Properties dialog box open so that you can confirm that the tab control or the page is selected. Each page includes a Caption property that you can use to create a label for the page. The HelloWorld8 database contains a form named TasksOnTabs, shown here, that organizes campaign tasks on a tab control with three pages. You can open the form in Design view and Form view to get a sense of how a tab control works.

The magical lungeApril 23, 2014
When you look at the lunge, a lot of people will look at the exercise and pull their faces. Those are the people that think that the lunge is a stupid exercise. What you will find is that they will go try this exercise in the privacy of their own living room when the whole family is sleeping and find out (the next day) that they cannot walk and that it is quite a difficult and highly effective exercise. Those people will never do a lunge in public and that is fine, because they are surely doing them in private and it is better than nothing.
A lunge is basically single leg work. Maybe it is something that the big lifters don't look at due to the ladylike fashion a lunge is done, but something to look into none the less. So even if you are a big lifter, go ahead, read this anyway and go do the variations of this single leg exercise in your garage gym when no one is looking, but do them anyway.
No to get into the nitty gritty of this exercise. Again, we need to look at the progressions to do this safely and to progress to the all elusive and powerful pistol. This is the exercise to do for ultimate strength. When looking at the lunge, the big powerlifters out there has one thing right, you have to be able to squat and do the big lifts first before lunge. In fancy talk, bilateral (both legs) work before unilateral (one leg) work. Bilateral work will offer you the stability that you need before you go onto the humble lunge. Yes, all of us usually think that yeah, the lunge, easy, so let us start with it. Big oops if you do. When you do a squat, you do not rotate at all. When you look at the lunge and all its many variations is technically still bilateral because both your feet is on the ground but it doesn't give you the stability because of a more narrow stance.
Ok so with all the talk, lets jump straight into the progressions of the lunge
Bodyweight static lunge
Bodyweight forward lunge
Bodyweight walking lunge
Bodyweight reverse lunge
Bodyweight slideboard or Valslide reverse lunge
Bodyweight deficit reverse lunge
Weighted vest walking lunge
Dumbbell walking lunge
Barbell walking lunge
Barbell front walking lunge
Barbell Zercher walking lunge
Dumbbell contralateral load deficit reverse lunge
Barbell deficit reverse lunge
So, loads of variations, start at the top and work your way down the list as you become better and stronger. Remember, the squat is still king and you have to be able to do this properly BEFORE you move onto the magic of the lunge.

Our congregation was a new church development of the Lake Michigan Presbytery in the early 1990s. The congregation started with a core of longtime presbyterians from various congregations in the Grand Rapids area, and quickly grew to include those from a wide variety of other church backgrounds, and many who had no previous church background at all. Led by our first pastor, Rev. David Milbourn, we worshiped in various elementary school buildings for our first few years. By 1998, we had grown and were able to build a building of our own. That building, in a beautiful location just south of Hager Park on 28th Avenue in Jenison, is where we worship today.
With our building established, we saw our ministry grow through mission activity centered in the Jenison, Grandville, and Hudsonville areas. Those early years saw vibrant Sunday School ministries and Vacation Bible School. These have continued, and we have been blessed to support our community through vibrant local mission and outreach. It has been a joy to see our congregation grow together in relationship with God as the body of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When Pastor Dave retired in 2007, God led us to call Rev. Linda Male (who had served Parkwood several years before as an intern) to be our interim pastor. During her ministry we thought about who we are as a congregation and spent time discerning how we wanted to grow in our relationship with God and what type of pastor we needed to help us do this.
In 2009, we called Rev. Matthew Wright as our second installed pastor.
In 2018, we called Rev. Christine Barnes as our third installed pastor.
Our church motto is Share the Joy. As Christians, it is our perpetual witness in our lives and in our community to share our joy of salvation through Jesus Christ. It is also our duty to carry the love of Christ into our world, placing ultimate emphasis on Jesus, then Others and finally, Yourself.
Over the years, many of us have become friends. But we know that we are joined together not simply because we live close to one another or have common interests, but because God the Father has called us into relationship with himself through the Son, Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is our prayer that God will draw many more to himself through our congregation, and we strive to welcome all those we meet as we would Jesus himself.

Injury Lawsuits Against Department of Social and Health Services (WA DSHS)
Davis Law Group, P.S. founder Chris Davis is one of the most respected and recognized civil litigation lawyers practicing in Washington State. Davis Law Group has been named Best Injury Law Firm in Washington State by AI Dispute Resolution Awards.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to a Washington State governmental entity contact attorney Chris Davis and the team at Davis Law Group at (206) 727-4000 to schedule your free legal consultation.
Injury Lawsuits, Settlments & Verdicts For Legal Claims Against DSHS
The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is Washington's largest state agency. DSHS provides shelter, care, protection, or other forms of support to approximately 2.7 million people in Washington State every month.
"A 2010 study identified errors that were common among DSHS cases that resulted in lawsuits. The report also revealed a major gap: The agency didn't have a system in place to ensure that lessons learned reached all frontline staff."1
DSHS Administration Groups
DSHS is divided into six direct service administrations and two support administrations.
- Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA)
- Behaviorial Health Administration (BHA)
- Children's Administration (CA)
- Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA)
- Economic Services Administration (ESA)
- Financial Services Administration (FSA)
- Rehabilitation Administration (RA)
- Services and Enterprise Support Administration (SESA)
DSHS Mission To Protect
DSHS / CPS is supposed to protect children, juveniles or volunerable adults from common forms of abuse and neglect which lead to severe physical and emotional injuries, and sometimes death, such as:
- Starvation / Depravation
- Physical Violence / Severe Beatings
- Isolation / Being Tied or Locked Up
- Sexual Abuse / Repeated Rape & Molestation
The Children's Administration (CA), Rehabilitation Administration (RA), and the Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA) are frequently the focus of lawsuits in which the negligent acts of staff members within these DSHS agencies hae resulted in serious injury, harm or death. The claims typically involve one of the following:
- Failure of DSHS staff members to follow their own procedures.
- Negligent CPS investigations which result in failure to remove a child, juvenile or volunerable adult from a dangerous environment.
- Failure to intervene in cases of child rape and child sexual abuse.
- Negligent placement of a foster child which results in violence, neglect or sexual misconduct toward the child.
- Failure to contact law enforcement in cases of abuse or neglect of a child, juvenile or volunerable adult.
- Neglecting to offer medical care and/or treatment to a juvenile that is housed in a DSHS RA facility.
- Failure to investigate allegations of reported abuse toward a child, juvenile or volunerable adult.
- Sexual sexual-harassment or sexual violence toward a juevile house in a RA facility by a DSHS staff member.
- Failure to use the DSHS computer database to investigate chronic abusers of children, juveniles or volunerable adults.
Legal Claims Against DSHS Children's Administration (CA)
DSHS Children's Administration (CA) is the public child welfare agency for the state of Washington coviering child safety and protection and the foster parenting program. DSHS CA works with children and families to identify their needs and develop a plan for services that support families and assure the safety and well-being of children. These services are designed to reduce the risk of abuse, find safe alternatives to out-of-home placement and assure safety and permanency for children in out-of-home care. However, when these systems fail because the staff members within these agencies do not do their jobs children can be abused, exploted and may get seriously injured or killed.
We most often see issues with these two specific agencies within the DSHS CA:
- Child Protection Services (CPS) - Child Protective Services is a state agency that investigates reports of child abuse and neglect.
- Foster Care Program - Children's Administration works with foster families to provide temporary homes for children with the goal of ultimiately returning those children safely to their parents whenever possible.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Many types of cases are subject to a statute of limitations which prevent a lawsuit from being filed after a certain period of time. However in cases of childhood abuse, and especially childhood sexual abuse, there are special exceptions that can allow a claim to be pursued many, many years later.
Lawsuits Against Washington State's Rehabilitation Administration (RA)
The DSHS Rehabilitation Administration (RA) provides community and institutional services to juvenile offenders focused on work and education. Within DSHS RA there are three main agencies in which physical and sexual abuse of teens is a frequent problem. They are:
- Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR) focuses on Washington State's high-risk youth that have been convicted of a crime. Youth may be committed to the custody of JR (juvenile detention) by county juvenile courts.
- The Office of Juvenile Justice (OJJ) is responsible for monitoring Washington State's compliance with the federal Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act.
- The Special Commitment Center Program (SCC) provides a specialized mental health treatment program for civilly committed sex offenders who have completed their prison sentences.
Legal Claims Against Washington State's Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA)
The Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA) is charged with providing a safe environment for adults who are vulnerable, access to home and community-based services, and quality in nursing facilities and other settings. Withing ALTSA there are two departments that are frequently the focus of legal claims. They are:
- Adult Protective Services - investigates reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of vulnerable adults.
- Residential Care Services - provides licensing, certification, and regulatory oversight to long-term care facilities such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and adult family homes.

Two popular Riggins taverns say they've been targeted in an Idaho State Police sting operation and have lost their liquor licenses.
ISP Alcohol Beverage Control agents walked into the Salmon River Inn and the Seven Devils Bar last week and physically removed the licenses. Both taverns will have an opportunity to argue against the action at a formal hearing at ISP's Meridian headquarters on Wednesday, April 13.
According to this morning's Lewiston Tribune, Michael Blimka, owner of the Salmon River Inn, attempted to transfer an existing liquor license from a former location to its present spot, the basement of Summerville's Cafe and Bar, which already had its own liquor license. Blimka told the Tribune that ISP was supposed to perform an inspection of the premises, but instead conducted a "sting" operation and pulled his license.
The Tribune also reports John Belton, listed as manager of the Seven Devils Bar, has been paying Blimka to operate that tavern. ISP is alleging the contract between Belton and Blimka isn't valid, but Blimka argued ISP never came to the tavern to "tell ... what the problem is."
Meanwhile, Riggins now has one bar with a valid license—Summerville's—but both Blimka and Belton said that's not enough to handle the town's patrons, especially since the annual spring jet boat races are scheduled to come to town next weekend.

Higher education follow-up post
My personal view on higher education is that governments should make it available to all. It doesn't have to be totally free but then again I don't think that a university degree should be privilege only for the best of the best, which unfortunately is the situation in Oman right now. Presently, close to 60,000 students graduate from highschool every year and our one free university has seats for less than 5% of them. The way I see it, that's just elitist. The government does provide 2400 internal scholarships every year mostly to low income students to study in private colleges. They also take in students into vocational colleges, teachers colleges, technical colleges, and so on. All put together that still brings the total at about 10 to 15% of high school grads. Let's face the facts. In some countries you can make an OK living as a brick layer. In Oman even college graduates have it hard. Jobs are scarce and pay is low. A person with nothing but a high school diploma is lucky to find a job and when they do they have to make do with salaries of around RO. 120 to 150 a month.
I think that there should be a two-tier system, maybe similar to the US where they have junior colleges feeding into full four-year colleges, and state colleges and universities. Likewise in the UK they had the top unis and the polytechnics which were later converted into being universities of their own. In Oman we have something slightly similar with the technical colleges now giving bachelor degrees (some not all, I think). It just needs to be expanded. You can have a system of each region having one or two "junior college" style colleges which give associate degrees and the best students from there getting admission to full unis, also regional. Instead of having just SQU in Muscat being a university for the best of the best. You can have a system of 4 to 6 other universities in the regions offering college degrees as well to those not fortunate enough to be admitted to SQU or who can't afford the private colleges.
SQU is an extravagant one-off experiment. 20 years ago when it was built, it cost over 200 million rials. We don't need more state of the art universities. What Oman needs now is efficient universities that deliver a quality education to the maximum number of students at a competitive price. For the price of one SQU, you can now build 4 excellent regional universities or even 10 large campuses all around Oman of a state university-type system. Of course beyond the set-up costs there will be huge overheads for running the universities, staffing the, operating, etc. But if you won't spend on educating future generations, what will you spend on?
The universities don't have to be totally free. Students can be partially subsidized. The availability of choices to students should end up improving the quality. Presently private colleges have no incentive to improve the quality of their education. They operate in a system where students are strapped for choice. If more free colleges are available, private colleges will have to improve the quality of their offerings to justify their 2 to 3000 rial per annum prices. Higher quality of education will lead to better quality graduates and translate into better job prospects for the graduates.

Empirical data states that for developing countries (and even developed countries) investing in education always yields some of the highest returns for the economy than most other sectors. So economically speaking, its sound. Ive always felt, beyond economics, health and education are two things which are basic human rights and should be invested in heavily by the government.
I dont have new figures, but in the 80s Oman spent about 13 percent of its budget on education and about 6 on health - decent compared to other developing countries, but I dont know if todays figures are similar to that. Im sure the numbers would be fairly easy to find.

Two people were taken to a hospital after a Sunday evening shooting near a BREC park on Elvin Drive, an East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's spokeswoman said.
Four people were shot at around 7:30 p.m., and two of them were struck by bullets — an adult and a juvenile who were treated for their wounds at the East Baton Rouge Parish park on 1954 Elvin Drive off Burbank Drive, Casey Rayborn Hicks said.
The juvenile was grazed by a bullet, and the adult was hit once but is expected to recover, Hicks said.
Deputies roped off the park's gravel driveway as well as a house next door and investigators searched an area behind the house.
Investigators also examined a damaged, electric blue Cadillac in a grass lot next to the park. The car's doors were open and its hood was up.
Investigators also searched around nearby houses for evidence.
Deputies blocked off Elvin Drive as far as two blocks away.

2016 Cadillac CTS-V
The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V is a response to new vehicles from German competitors, BMW with its M5 and E63 AMG from Mercedes. New generation of Cadillac CTS-V should match standards put in front of all luxurious and sport vehicles producers. The 2016 CTS-V is lighter, visually better and better performer than its predecessor. Car has been spotted in street testing, spy shots are available which means launch is near. Its premiere should happen during next year, and car will be shown as 2016 year model.
2016 Cadillac CTS-V redesign
Cadillac spokesmen are quiet about 2016 CTS-V, but we had a chance to see what to expect through spy shots. Even heavily camouflaged, there were some unveiled parts, like grille, which is now more sporty and revisited. New intakes are installed and front bumper is placed lower than before. Front lip spoiler is now more aggressive, and wheels are wider from what we could see. The 2016 Cadillac CTS-V will get new rear spoiler and rectangular exhaust tips will be replaced with four round tips.
2016 Cadillac CTS-V engine
It is very certain that 2016 Cadillac CTS-V will get V8 under its hood. Supercharged 6.2-l engine is likely, because it was powertrain of current car. However, some leaked information tells us that new drivetrain could be twin-turbocharged V8. Also, Cadillac could use engine from concept car called Elmiraj, presented in 2013. It is twin-turbocharged 4.5-liter V8 rated at more than 500 horsepower. However, current model of CTS-V is rated with 556 hp and new 2016 CTS-V should top that.
2016 Cadillac CTS-V price and competition
Main competitors of the new Cadillac CTS-V are BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG S-Model. These two have slightly higher output at the moment, with 575 hp of the M5 boosted with Competition Package and 577 horsepower of Mercedes. New 2016 Cadillac CTS-V should top that. However, price for this sporty vehicle should start at around $65.000, and higher end models, such as CTS V-sport, will be more expensive. For comparison, BMW M5 starts at $88.000 and Mercedes E63 AMG base models start at $90.000
