Reusing bearings
To determine if a bearing can be reused, it must be inspected carefully. A detailed inspection requires disassembling the bearing. Angular contact ball bearings cannot be disassembled without damage unless special tools are used. Cylindrical roller bearings can only be partly disassembled.
SKF does not recommend reusing super-precision bearings. In most cases, the risk for unplanned downtime or unsatisfactory performance outweighs the cost of new bearings.
Bearings should be dismounted carefully, regardless of whether they will be reused, because careless dismounting could damage associated components. Also, if the bearing is dismounted carefully, it can then be used for condition and damage analysis if required.

Carroll Catholic students mark 100th day of class
with a celebration
Album 2
on photos below to enlarge.]
[February 05, 2014]
Send a link to a friend
As part of the 100th-day
celebration at Carroll Catholic School, children had the opportunity
to play a hide-and-seek game with Hershey's Kisses. A total of
100 had been hidden throughout the cafeteria. Each
student was to find one. On the bottom of each was a
number. When one of the chocolates was found, it was to be placed on a
number chart. Throughout the morning, students rushed to find
all the candies. By the end of the celebration, all 100 were to
be located and placed on the chart.

It's hard to believe, but iconic snack maker Hostess is shutting its doors. In bankruptcy court the company said they wanted to liquidate -- and they're blaming striking workers who rejected a new contract. "We deeply reject the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," CEO Gregory Rayburn said this morning.
Whatever the reason for Hostess going out of business, it's shocking to think there may be a time when we stop seeing Twinkies and other classic sugary snacks on store shelves. Maybe Hostess couldn't keep up with the times? In the past few years, Americans have been choosing snacks with more "natural" ingredients. But there's still a lot of nostalgic love for those Hostess cakes. Maybe some smart company will snap up the brand and re-release the snacks with an ingredient makeover. We can only hope!
In the meantime, join us on a little tour through the Hostess Hall of Snacking Fame -- with recipes.
The immortal beloved Twinkie: What's in it that allows it to live forever? The list is so, so long. If you can't live without these golden sponge cakes, make your own homemade Twinkies.
Ding Dongs2
Ding Dongs and their cousin, the Hostess Cupcakes (with the cute little swirl on the top), were my favorite snack cakes. I admit, I loved that weird, plasticky chocolate frosting. Not to mention the naughty thrill of saying the name out loud! Tee hee. Here's a recipe for your own Ding Dongs.
Ho Hos3
Another Hostess snack cake with a name that makes us giggle. Here's Food Network's recipe for Ho Hos.
Dolly Madison Donut Gems4
Depending on how old you are (ahem), you may remember Peanuts Gang characters on the packages of Dolly Madison Donut Gems -- those little donuts that came coated in cinnamon, powdered sugar, or waxy chocolate. They're owned by Hostess Brand. But you can still make your own with this recipe for baked donuts.
Zingers -- they're not just for presidential debates! They came in chocolate and vanilla, but I always thought the raspberry was the best flavor. Make your own raspberry zingers with this recipe.
Wonder Bread6
Hostess owns Wonder Bread, too! I guess we can live without that squishy, white bread -- although I know people loved that pillowy white stuff. I think I'll miss its colorful circles logo most of all. Don't worry, you can make your own soft-as-Wonder Bread sandwich bread with this recipe.

I found a Spinach Tuna Casserole recipe in a Taste of Home Cookbook. Wanted to find it here so I could print it out for reference. Found this one by the same author, but recipe is different. I wouldn't waste my time with this one. Fat free, light, low sodium, reduced fat. Eeeeecccchhhhh!!!!! What happened to your real recipe from the cookbook?
Oct 9, 2013
Great recipe! My family usually won't eat much tuna casserole but this one went over very well (other than 1 child picking out the spinach & said it would have been better with mushrooms instead), had no leftovers! I did alter it a bit - I used plain non-fat yogurt instead of sour cream, I omitted the bread crumbs, & I used a white cheese blend that I had instead of Parmesan. My hubby liked the crispy noodles on the sides ;)
Jan 11, 2012
The toping was very tasty, but laying upon plain noodles that become crispy on the bottom and side of casserole wasn't appealing.
Jun 14, 2011
Tuna noodle casserole is one of my favorite dishes, especially this recipe. I love the spinach and it doesn't taste low fat at all.

This was very good. Will make again. But, like another review, I will mix the noodles in with the sauce. Will probably omit the bread crumbs, did not seem needed. And it was a bit dry, but still good.
Mar 2, 2011
My poor husband has gone without tuna casserole for 16 years because I have never tried one I could stomach. This recipe, however, is awesome!! It's so rich and hearty, it's hard to believe it's relatively good for us too! Hubby took it to work for lunch the next day and had to share it with two other people because it was so yummy! Thanks again TOH!

This is so good! My son has dairy sensitivities and this is good with almond milk.

Sun Communities Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities, announced it has invested over $250 million in the acquisition and quality enhancements of RV communities in 18 months, according to a news release.
This commitment is now complimented by the branding of these destination resorts as "Sun RV Resorts" which will operate over 30 communities from Arizona to Maine to Wisconsin to Florida.
Sun Communities Inc. is headquartered in Southfield, Mich.
"Our vision is to have our brand distinguish the entire guest experience from start to finish – every touch point, from initial inquiries through our enhanced Internet site to the reservation and checkout processes will reflect a positive concern for the satisfaction of every guest," said Gary Shiffman, chairman and CEO. "Guests will have confidence that they will receive first-class customer service throughout their stay, including quality hook-up and site accommodations, vacation rentals, and a wide range of attractive amenities at each Sun RV Resort."
Sun intends to continue investment in Sun RV Resorts to provide its guests with enjoyable and accessible vacation destinations. "Our decision to "brand" our RV resorts represents our commitment to excellence in accommodations, service, and staff at all of our resorts. This will be enhanced as we continue to expand our vacation offerings and our geographic diversity," said John McLaren, COO.
Sun RV Resorts is owned and operated by Sun Communities Inc., a leading provider of manufactured home communities and RV resorts with over 38 years of experience owning, operating and managing multiple properties. Sun Communities currently has 183 communities in 24 states, serving over 150,000 residents and guests. For more information, visit www.sunrvresorts.com .

Daylight Savings Time is approaching for those of us who live in the United States. We set our clocks one hour forward in the spring, which means that we set them back one hour on Sunday, November 6. Daylight Savings Time also happens to be the perfect opportunity to remember to change, replace, or inspect your air and water filters, which we previously discussed in our Energy Conserving Tips guide. Here are a few recommendations that will help improve the quality of your home and save you money on energy costs:
Replace your air furnace filters
Air filters should be replaced every 3-6 months depending on your indoor air quality and the conditions where you live. With the proper air filter you will be able to reduce airborne contaminants in your home, including dust, dirt, and various allergens.
We sell a complete line of air furnace filters that will provide you with the high indoor air quality you deserve. The Filters Fast Air & Furnace Filters Merv 11, 6-pack is a solid choice that is both economical and highly effective.
Replace your refrigerator filters
Refrigerator filters help deliver refreshingly clean, cold water to your home by removing chlorine and off tastes and odors. Several refrigerator filters will also be able to remove even more harmful contaminants, such as cysts, lead, mercury, pesticides and more. Refrigerator filters will also provide clean ice, so that the other drinks you serve will be free of off flavors.
Two popular choices are the Maytag Puriclean II UKF8001 Filter and the GE MWF SmartWater Filter, though your choice ultimately depends on which refrigerator water filter is most compatible with the refrigerator you have at home.
Replace your humidifier filter
A humidifier releases clean moisture throughout your home in order to relieve the symptoms associated with dry air. You and your family will breathe more comfortably and have relief from cough and cold symptoms, such as itchy throat and cough. Humidifier filters should be replaced regularly and Daylight Savings Time is a great reminder to do so. Our website lists our humidifier filters based on brand, so you can find out which filter best matches your humidifier.
Several popular choices include the Aprilaire 35 humidifier water panel evaporator and the Holmes HWF100 Humidifier Filter.
Upgrade your thermostat
In today's day and age it's a good idea to upgrade your old thermostat to a digital thermostat, which offers you more comfort and convenience, as well as total control over your home's air quality. Recently we discussed how to install a digital thermostat, which is easier to do than you might imagine. A quality digital thermostat will have a menu and several control options for added versatility.
An excellent option is to upgrade to the Honeywell Vision PRO 8000 Thermostat or the Honeywell PRO 4000 Programmable Thermostat 1007.
While it's tough to remember when exactly to change your air and water filters, try to view Daylight Savings Time as the best opportunity to maintain the best indoor air quality and water filtration in your home.

Variable load and sliding velocity
If the load and/or sliding velocity change during operation, calculate individual rating lives for the periods of constant load and sliding velocity. If the load and sliding velocity occur as shown in diagram 1 (graph a), the individual basic rating life can be calculated using the constant values of p and v. If the load and sliding velocity are not constant as shown in diagram 1 (graph b), first calculate the basic rating life for the individual time periods, using mean values for the load and sliding velocity for the individual time periods. Then calculate the total basic rating life using
|total basic rating service life, operating hours [h]
|tI, tII ...
|time during which pI and vI, pII and vII etc. pertain [h]
|total duration of one cycle [h]
(= tI + tII + tIII +... )
|GhI, GhII ...
|individual values of service life for conditions pI and vI, pII and vII etc., operating hours [h]

Rental Fees: Approved use of school facilities must be paid for at least one week in advance. Rates are subject to revision at any time. Fees shall be sufficient to recover all real costs to the District for the use of the facility. Call the Business and Financial Services Department at 397-8533 for the most current rate schedule.

General Guidelines
Northside I.S.D. School Board recognizes its stewardship to the community for the care and maintenance of all school properties and for ensuring that they best serve the primary purpose for which they are dedicated. To fulfill that responsibility, the Board adopts the following guidelines for community use of school facilities.
The Board reserves the right to approve or deny requests for use of school facilities, to restrict the types of activities that may be conducted and the times at which they may be held, and to provide administrative procedures for consideration of such requests.
School facilities may not be used for programs or activities that interfere more than incidentally with the instructional program; are deemed likely to damage school grounds, facilities, or equipment; are for the purpose of promoting any private, profit-making enterprise; or that violate community standards of decency.
NISD enforces State laws and Board policies prohibiting the possession and use of alcohol and other controlled substances, tobacco, and weapons by any group using school facilities.

Athletic facilities are available only to youth-oriented groups.
Facilities are not available to individuals.

ZWSOFT, a leading supplier of 2D and 3D CAD/CAM solutions to the AEC and MCAD industries, today announced new 2X and 3X machining systems based on the forthcoming release of ZW3D 2012. The brand-new two-axis and three-axis systems will provide users with numerous milling and turning improvements, and improves speed through multi-threaded processing.
ZW3D 2012 2X Machining
The new ZW3D 2012 2X Machining system offers 2X turning, 2X milling, hole machining operations, and auto-feature tactics. The two-axis turning function provides support for OD and ID roughing, finishing, threading, and grooving operations. Two-axis milling is enhanced through a facing operation that creates tool paths for efficiently machining large planar regions with arbitrary boundaries, and complex planar regions with many holes and voids.
The 2X Machining System includes a lightweight CAD system so that users can modify models easily during the machining preparation stage. The CAD functions include solid modeling, healing, and data exchange. This allows users to effortlessly perform CAM operations in same environment as CAD functions; the powerful data exchange allows them to communicate easily with clients.
ZW3D 2012 3X Machining
The ZW3D 2012 3X Machining system with QuickMillTM technology offers efficient 2X turning, 2X and 3X milling operation, hole making, including feature recognition, roughing, finishing, and high speed machining. Quick Mill high speed milling is enhanced through multi-threaded calculations and new operations. For instance, 3X Machining can now remove material beneath overhanging shapes in 3X tool paths, and allows the use of wheel and T-slot milling tools. A new 3X operation mills surfaces in the same plane or different levels of a plane in a single operation.
The 3X Machining System also includes a lightweight CAD system the same as that of 2X machining system, which saves users much time and prevents data loss, because users no longer need to transfer models between external CAD programs and the CAM software.
Pricing and Availability
ZW3D 2012 2X Machining will have a suggested license price of US$1,500, and ZW3D 2012 3X Machining will be priced at US$4,000. The software will be available in English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Czech, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, and Turkish.
Both software versions together will be available in March, 2012 through ZW3D's international network of channel partners. You can find the nearest reseller though our channel locator at http://www.zwsoft.com/en/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=lists&catid=366 or else write to us at email@example.com.

Leading Edge
by Robert Harth
Carnegie Hall's chief looks back on his first, challenge-filled season in New York and finds opportunity in adversity.
I arrived in New York City on September 8, 2001.
People still shake their heads when I tell them that. I hear comments like, "oh, great timing." Then I hear what a difficult start I had, what bad luck, how unfortunate. Then come the questions: "You mean you left Colorado for New York City? Why? What were you thinking?" Then comes the sympathy: "Oh, I am so sorry..." and "Wow, what a tough start to something that you were so looking forward to."
Actually, quite the opposite. Strange as it might sound on first hearing, arriving in Manhattan when I did was an amazing gift. Let me try and explain.
It is absolutely true that I left the mountains of Colorado--the Aspen Music Festival and School, a secure comfort zone where I was happily ensconced--for the wilds of Manhattan. I left a town where the newspaper headlines usually reported the last tree that was cut down illegally, or the fact that the snowpack was less than normal.
Baptism by fire? Absolutely. Not because being in New York City during the attacks made me an instant New Yorker, but because it provided me insights, experiences, and perspectives that would simply not have been available to me had my travel schedule been slightly different. I cannot imagine what it would have been like to have still been in Colorado on September 11, knowing that I was about to move to New York City.
And then, eleven days after the attacks, Isaac Stern--president of Carnegie Hall for 40 years, an icon--died. It was a tremendous loss for the world, and for the world of music. And for us at Carnegie Hall his death, so close to September 11, stacked grief on top of grief. Already (let's be honest), the preceding few years had not been easy at Carnegie Hall. Now, we faced new and daunting challenges.
No one in America was unaffected by the events of September 11. Everyone has a story to tell.
My first day on the job was to be Monday, September 17. The terrorist attacks of September 11 changed that, and I was in the office that afternoon. It was too soon for any of us to know if we had lost friends or family, but as the day progressed, news of relief and news of immense sadness both entered our lives, as we learned of the deaths of patrons, colleagues, and friends.
And so my life at Carnegie Hall began. I had always been a believer in on-the-job training. But the circumstances surrounding my new job at Carnegie Hall, coupled with the horror--the immense tragedy--put that theory to the ultimate test. The issues immediately post-September 11 were daunting. We were concerned about so very many things: Can we get home tonight? Who should come in to work tomorrow? How do we help a staff member who is unable to return home because lower Manhattan is inaccessible? How do we protect Carnegie Hall, a well-known landmark building? How do we provide enough security to reassure our patrons, but not so much that we frighten them?
There was so much to think about, and everything was so new to me; Carnegie Hall is a very complex organization. But at its core, Carnegie Hall is about music, and that is something I do understand. After confirming the safety of our staff and immediate family, the key was not to go back to business as usual (an absurd concept) but also not to shut down. We were in a crisis--our country was in a crisis--so it was time to respond professionally, compassionately, and responsibly. Senior staff convened. I listened. I learned. I contributed. Everyone listened, everyone learned, and everyone contributed.
Carnegie Hall had no concerts until our Opening Gala on October 3. The questions surrounding that event were numerous: Do we proceed? Do we cancel the gala dinner and just perform the concert? And other questions surfaced. What will Carnegie Hall do in response to the attacks? What sort of event should be presented? Who should perform? And then more and more questions: What can we do for our local fire and police departments, the men and women who have protected Carnegie Hall and our neighborhood for years? (Six of the firefighters from the station one-and-a-half blocks from us lost their lives.) What actions should Carnegie Hall take to anticipate the repercussions of the attacks? These were all defining questions at defining moments.
I am proud to say that the staff of Carnegie Hall more than rose to the occasion. They were--and continue to be--at their best, and it was and is inspiring to see. Their response mirrored the response everywhere in New York City, and everywhere in America: new energy, commitment, focus, and an absolute refusal to surrender to the terror or terrorists. In the face of such unimaginable tragedy, a tragedy you simply cannot get your mind around, it is hard to believe there are silver linings. But there are, absolutely.
Between September 11 and the end of October, it's fair to say, Carnegie Hall lived a lifetime. First came the organization of our Concert of Remembrance. Carnegie Hall is an integral part of our city and we wanted to respond to the crisis, to offer our city what we do best--the gift of music.
We asked a handful of artists who were close to Carnegie Hall to participate. All agreed instantly. In a conversation with James Levine, we talked about needing someone like Leontyne Price to be part of the concert. And then the question was asked, "Why not Leontyne?" Within a half-hour of our first conversation with her, she agreed to come out of retirement and participate. Leontyne Price, James Levine, Yo-Yo Ma, and several members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra provided all the ingredients necessary for an amazing event. People lined up at the Hall for the free tickets beginning at 4 a.m. Within hours, the line went around the block twice.
As with the post-September 11 events at the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, we witnessed a palpable hunger and thirst for music. Our Concert of Remembrance on September 30 was unimaginably powerful. It offered the opportunity to embrace the community, to be together during a time of tremendous loss, and to seek comfort and solace and healing through the power of music.
A light went on for me that memorable Sunday. I mentioned before that things happen for a reason. In the morning, the Carnegie Hall family went to Isaac Stern's funeral in Connecticut. That evening, we attended the Concert of Remembrance at the Hall. I witnessed what music has always meant to me--its power, its energy, its universal language--reaching everyone in the most profound way. Imagine the power of Yo-Yo Ma playing solo Bach at a funeral in a Connecticut garden on a gray, cold Sunday morning, and then playing the same music to an audience gathered in Carnegie Hall that evening. It was a privilege to bear witness to both.
There was little, if any, time to recover from Sunday. The following Wednesday was the Gala Opening of our season at Carnegie Hall. None of us felt much in a gala or festive mood. But inspiration and lessons in leadership came from Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, and our remarkable chairman, Sanford Weill. Mayor Giuliani had urged, along with other city and state officials, that we return to normalcy. This wasn't a matter of "the show must go on." This was a matter of balance, between the need to mourn for our losses and the refusal to allow the events of September 11 to dictate the direction of our lives in America. Our internal debate was intense. Three thousand people had just lost their lives, and yet life must go on and would go on.
And so we did. The Berlin Philharmonic heroically traveled to New York City, stating that they would stand by America as America has stood by Germany. Appropriate changes were made to the look and feel of opening night, and what ensued was another memorable event. Once again, I was witness to the power of music being embraced by an entire audience. The Berlin Philharmonic's three concerts were more than just a tonic. The intensity of the audience, their silence, their palpable hunger, the overwhelming gratitude of their response, all pointed to one unarguable fact: Music was essential in that moment.
Meanwhile, all of us at Carnegie Hall were also working at our "day jobs," the ones that occupy our time before our evening concerts. September 11 presented the need to review our budget and make adjustments in light of what we were certain would be increased expenses and a decline in ticket sales and donations. In Week Two of my tenure, I convened a series of budget meetings. We took the opportunity both to cut more than $1 million in the current budget, and to do a first draft of the following year's budget.
For me, this was an opportunity to get an early and thorough understanding of the complexities of Carnegie Hall's $60 million budget. It also allowed me the time to connect with my staff on the line items of their individual budgets; to engage in a healthy dialogue about priorities, necessities, and luxuries; and to foster a sense of how I intended to lead the institution and work with my staff. It was back-breaking, time-consuming, difficult work. But it was participatory, fair, measured, and decisive, and the results built our confidence in one another.
We viewed draconian cuts to staff or programs, whether for the current year or the following year, as our last resort. We never had to go there. We never jeopardized the overall shape of Carnegie Hall's programs or our adventurous projects. The key was the staff reaching down deep in their creative efforts to find new and different solutions. No one became scared, no one was turf-conscious, and no one was myopic. Everyone pitched in and found ways to cut money from their budgets. Everyone wanted to be a part of the solution, not part of the problem. The adversity we faced pulled us together as a team in very powerful ways, creating bonds that have proved meaningful and lasting.
We were not finished, however. The Concert of Remembrance, Opening Night, the cuts to the current year's budget, and the development of the following year's budget were all just the beginning. We began to finalize the details for Carnegie Hall's Memorial Concert for Isaac Stern. And, in addition, we developed plans for honoring him throughout the season. Concurrently, it was time to finalize all the programs, ticket prices, and subscription series for the following season. And, by the way, there is a concert pretty much every night at Carnegie Hall.
I have often said that you play the cards you are dealt, or you fold them.
We did not fold at Carnegie Hall. The response to September 11 engendered a sense of responsibility, power, ability, and confidence that allowed our team to calmly and thoughtfully address the issues at hand. Key to that process was the enlightenment and insight we were all miraculously given after September 11.
For all arts organizations, the combination of September 11 and the downward-spiraling economy has created a climate of adversity that is new to many people who work in the arts. Some are facing tough times for the first time. Others are facing the toughest times they have known. It's scary; it's difficult--but it is also an amazing opportunity. Adversity is opportunity, without question. And, of course, opportunity quickly becomes responsibility. Now is a time to make choices, and those choices matter more than ever. The adversity we face tests an organization's strengths, but it also provides the opportunity to address an organization's weaknesses. Now is a time when tough questions are easier to ask, tough decisions are easier to make, and creativity and entrepreneurial spirit are rewarded many times over.
Good news is easy. Raising money in the fat-and-sassy '80s and '90s was easy. Post-September 11, and in the current economic climate in America, it is harder to do business. Now comes the hard work. Now comes the time when the real mission of an arts organization--its true purpose, its importance, its existence--comes into question. Or into focus. All this is dependent on what we, who administer these organizations, do next.
There is some good news in all this. First of all, we are not alone. This is a tough time for all the arts, and there is no sense in hiding from that fact. Second, there are ways to address the issues we face, to seize the opportunities presented to us at this troubled time, and to grow stronger--more focused, more essential, more inclusive, more compassionate, and yes, more intelligent. This is not a time to put our heads down and plow through. It is a time that cries out for creativity, insight, sensitivity, understanding, and a new energy and purpose. The herd always finds a way of thinning itself out. The question we must all ask of ourselves is: Where do we stand in that Darwinian process?
I've always known that Carnegie Hall is a great concert hall. But I have learned that it's so much more. It is rich with history, and it has been a great gathering place for the citizens of New York for all sorts of reasons and occasions for more than 112 years. In addition to the Concert of Remembrance and the stunning Berlin Philharmonic concerts to open our season, Carnegie Hall became host to a wide variety of events arising from the tragedy of September 11. When the comedian Jerry Seinfeld wanted to do a comedy benefit for the families of victims, he chose Carnegie Hall. Mayor Giuliani chose Carnegie Hall for the New York City Police Awards. The Hall is woven into the fabric of the community of New York City. And this, along with the insights and perspectives of the power of music to provide comfort, solace, and healing, has resulted in a Carnegie Hall that is stronger than ever--one that understands its rich tradition, but also recognizes its continuing role as a leader in the world of music.
The same can and should apply to all of our organizations in all of our communities. While it is a most difficult and challenging time, it is also a time to seize the high ground, to re-affirm the mission and purpose of our institutions, to re-assess our budgets and our resources, and to emerge strong, focused, and inspired. Music has re-emerged as a powerful, meaningful, heroic, and critical element in our lives--as essential food for the soul.
Robert Harth, president and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School from 1989 to 2001, has just completed his first year as executive and artistic director of Carnegie Hall. This article is adapted from his speech on June 14, 2002 to delegates of the American Symphony Orchestra League's 57th National Conference.

Sophie Fletcher, 12, and her 10-year-old brother Jack are believed to have left their home in Darlaston, West Midlands, either overnight or early this morning.
West Midlands Police said a large number of local officers were carrying out extensive inquiries to find the youngsters, who are thought to have packed a bag of clothes before leaving home.
The force said its search for the apparent runaways had been complicated by the closure of the local school, forcing officers to check dozens of addresses across a large geographic area.
It is believed that Jack and Sophie have taken money with them and may try to travel to Borth, near Aberystwyth, in Mid Wales.
A police spokesman said: "There is now a suggestion that the youngsters may try to travel by train to a previous holiday destination in Borth, Wales."
Sophie is described as 5ft 2in with collar-length brown hair cut in a bob, and blue eyes.
She is believed to be wearing a leopard-print coat with a hood which has small ears on it and purple trousers.
Jack is described as 5ft with straight blond hair and has a half-inch scar on his forehead.
He is believed to be wearing a black hooded Benzini jacket with bright yellow lettering, black ankle boots and a cap with "NY" on the front.
Inspector Stuart Vaughan, of Walsall Police, said: "The children have not been missing before and, although they have packed clothes and taken money, we are very concerned about them, particularly in this cold weather.
"It is believed they have left of their own accord.
"We are continuing to carry out a number of inquiries to try and locate Sophie and Jack and are being supported by a significant number of force resources.
"We are now appealing to the public to help us with this search - if you have seen either of the children today or have any information about where they may be, please contact us immediately."

Fannie Lou Hamer
American civil rights activist (October 6, 1917 – March 14, 1977)
Fannie Lou Hamer (October 6, 1917 – March 14, 1977), born Fannie Lou Townsend, was an American voting rights activist and civil rights leader.
- It is only when we speak what is right that we stand a chance at night of being blown to bits in our homes. Can we call this a free country, when I am afraid to go to sleep in my own home in Mississippi?... I might not live two hours after I get back home, but I want to be a part of setting the Negro free in Mississippi.
- As quoted in This Little Light of Mine, ch. 8, by Hay Mills (1993). Said on September 13, 1965, in a hearing before the United States House of Representatives' Subcommittee on Elections.
- With the people, for the people, by the people. I crack up when I hear it; I say, with the handful, for the handful, by the handful, 'cause that's what really happens.
- As quoted in This Little Light of Mine, ch. 8, by Hay Mills (1993).
- I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
- Widely quoted, including Freedomways, p. 240 (Second quarter, 1965). This quote was later employed as her epitaph, and used by American singer and songwriter Anastacia at her song Sick and Tired.
- It's time for America to get right.
- As quoted in This Little Light of Mine, ch. 8, by Hay Mills (1993).
- I always said if I lived to get grown and had a chance, I was going to try to get something for my mother and I was going to do something for the black man of the South if it would cost my life; I was determined to see that things were changed.
- As quoted in Freedomways, p. 232 (Second quarter, 1965).

Setting off for the flyover aboard the Greenpeace Cessna plane. The Plane was purchased for Greenpeace by a very special donor and has been invaluable in allowing the Amazon team to monitor and report on deforestation, exposing the scandals and making those companies responsible for the destruction known.
Close your eyes and picture the Amazon. Do you see the huge expanse of endless forest as far as the eye can see, in every direction? Do you feel the heat and humidity? Do you hear the cicadas and insects hum and the exotic song of the birds? With those great rivers passing through, it truly is a paradise. This was also the idyllic dream that came crashing down around me yesterday as with huge excitement and anticipation I set off on a flyover of some of the forest with our Amazon campaign team.
As the plane landed at the end of our flyover I was unusually quiet, wiping away tears and at the risk of sounding melodramatic here, broken hearted. The staff in the Manaus office are bemused at my reaction, after 10 years of working for Greenpeace none of the destruction I saw should have been a surprise, but seeing it with my own eyes is something else.
Is this the Amazon or the Waikato??
I had imagined the destruction of the Amazon to be occurring at the fringes of the forest with the centre left blissfully intact, but the area we are flying over is slap bang in the middle of the Amazon and the forest I am looking at has been utterly butchered. The landscape is bizarre patchwork of beautiful lush intact rainforest and squares of cleared land. Unexpectedly, the cleared land is seemingly in the middle of nowhere set amongst pristine forest. There are different coloured patches; the patches with flames licking up the sides and billowing smoke, the newly cleared and desolate looking blackened patches, the rather dry looking grassy cattle grazing ones, the slightly greener patches where the forest has fought back and reclaimed the pasture and interspersed with these are the rich green chunks of forest left alone.
Paulo (Director of GP Amazon) explains that land grabbers come to publicly owned pieces of forest and take it. With little in the way of accurate and detailed land ownership records there is nothing to stop farmers occupying the land. First the loggers take any of the really valuable trees and then pastures are created by burning off the areas needed. The burnt ashes of the fires provide the fertiliser to grow the grass and soon cattle are grazing there. The quality of the pasture is poor though, based on just the ashes of the forest, so soon new land is being opened up since it's cheaper to simply burn down more forest than try and make the poor quality pasture fertile again. Cattle farming, which is supplying the world with cheap beef and leather, accounts for 80% of all deforestation in the Amazon.
Lonely Brazil Nut Trees emerge from the smoke haze in a giant soy field surrounded by the forest.
We fly over a beautiful piece of forest which has been protected as a reserve. As I take photos Paulo spots a blue tent. "Illegal loggers" he tells me, snapping some shots of them "See the bright pink tree? They will take it".
The final part of our flight sees us fly over the area which was decimated by the soy industry (between 2001 and 2006) until the extremely successful Greenpeace campaign which resulted in a moratorium of new deforestation for soy. "Now you will really cry" says Paulo. I am staggered by the landscape. It could be the Waikato or possibly even some of the industrial agricultural areas of the Netherlands rather than the middle of the Amazon. Huge fields are dug up ready for planting. In some sad looking Brazil Nut trees stand all alone in a deserted landscape. It's illegal to chop down Brazil Nut trees and interestingly this law is followed, though fruitlessly, since the trees die with a few seasons of land use change.
Seeing my crestfallen face Paulo is quick to reassure me "Yes, it is awful, but we stopped it.... we stopped it". The Amazon team have made an incredible difference here. They have had some indigenous lands protected, forced through a moratorium on mahogany logging, stopped the growth of the soy trade in the Amazon and now are developing similar agreements with industry to tackle cattle farming. The battle to save the worlds most amazing forest is still very much underway but currently we are definitely winning.
Still plenty of stunningly beautiful areas of the Amazon left and the forest has amazing powers of regeneration so there is still time to save the forest, provided we stop deforestation now.

We have one last chance to speak up for women's health centers in Virginia. Have you taken action yet?
Last year, the Virginia Board of Health finalized burdensome and medically-unnecessary restrictions (also known as TRAP regulations) designed to close Virginia women's health centers that provide cancer screenings, family planning, and safe, legal abortion. Thankfully, after Gov. McAuliffe initiated a review last month, the Virginia Department of Health is now reviewing these dangerous regulations to decide whether they should be repealed, amended, or upheld.
Today is the LAST day of the public comment period on TRAP restrictions – which means this our last chance to speak out against the regulations before the Department of Health completes their review. Make public comment now!
Pro-choice Virginians from across the Commonwealth have already stepped up in a big way to help us keep our health centers open. On Tuesday we – along with our allies from ProgressVA, ACLU of Virginia, and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia – delivered 4,844 pro-choice, anti-TRAP comments to the Virginia Department of Health!
This is a huge step — but we have even more work to do before midnight tonight. Please submit your comment now & help us reach our goal of 5,000 comments against TRAP restrictions!
You and I know just how much is at stake here. If TRAP regulations are not repealed or amended , the repercussions for women, families, and healthcare across the state will be swift and severe. Under these archaic laws, three women's health clinics across the Commonwealth have already had to close their doors or stop providing abortion services. If more women's health centers are forced to close, Virginia women and families will become even more isolated from the critical healthcare they need and deserve.
At midnight tonight, the Virginia Board of Health will stop accepting comments and will begin its review, to be completed by October 1st by Health Commissioner Marissa Levine. Don't miss your chance to be a part of history.

120th Anniversary of the Denver Post
With fanfare and jubilation, The Denver Post turns 120 on August 8. Here are some highlights from our early years.
In 1892, The Evening Post, the youngest of Denver's four daily papers published its first edition on August 8. For the next three years, the paper stumbled from one financial crisis to another until Frederick G. Bonfils and Harry H. Tammen purchased it in 1895.
Tammen, a bartender and owner of a curio shop, and Bonfils, a one-time lottery operator, paid $12,500 for the paper and renamed it The Denver Evening Post.
Content changed immediately – from a Grover Cleveland-endorsing political publication to a flamboyant, in your face newspaper.
At the first staff meeting, Tammen told the city editor, "Son, you've seen a vaudeville show, haven't you? It's got every sort of act – laughs, tears, wonder, thrills, melodrama, tragedy, comedy, love and hate. That's what I want you to give our readers."
And they did. The paper screamed with red ink headlines. They ran editorials on the front page and crusaded for anything that would draw readers.
To increase publicity, Tammen and Bonfils foreclosed on a loan to Buffalo Bill Cody and made Cody the star of The Post's Sells-Floto Circus. They hired writer Damon Runyon and cartoonist R.F. Outcault, creator of the "Yellow Kid" and "Buster Brown."
They sponsored aviation contests and auto races. Quick tempered Bonfils got into fistfights and was even shot. They were sued for libel and ransacked by rioters – all of which boosted circulation.
After Tammen and Bonfils' deaths in 1924 and 1933, the paper grew increasingly stale. By the end of World War II, Bonfils' daughter Helen and board member E. Ray Campbell decided it needed an overhaul.
In 1946, they hired E. Palmer Hoyt as editor and publisher. Hoyt had reservations because he felt it "was the worst newspaper in the United States," but accepted the position.
Hoyt immediately poured huge amounts of money into the operation. He added a business section, Contemporary and Roundup magazines on Sunday, hired new writers and editors, and made the paper respectable.
Fast forward to 2012 and the 120th anniversary. There have been many changes over the years. And to keep current with the demands of the times, we're undergoing many more. Wish us well, and here's to another 120.

AP Exclusive: Jails house 1,100 long-term inmates
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – California counties are housing more than 1,100 inmates on long-term sentences in jails designed for stays of a year or less, according to the first report detailing the growth in that population under Gov. Jerry Brown's criminal justice realignment strategy.
The oversight of so many long-term inmates is presenting challenges for county sheriffs, especially with the number expected to grow markedly in the years ahead. In addition to finding adequate space to house the new population, the sheriffs also must provide the inmates with education, treatment programs, rehabilitation services and recreation, which adds to their costs.
Vehicle theft, drug trafficking, receiving stolen property, identity theft and commercial burglary were the most common crimes for jail inmates who were sentenced to 5 to 10 years in county jails, according to the report, which was obtained by The Associated Press before its public release.
The report, covering all but six of the state's 58 counties, was done by the California State Sheriffs' Association and sent to the governor's administration and Legislature.
"We are not set up to house inmates for this period of time," said Nick Warner, the association's legislative director. "They're living in conditions that they're not designed to stay in for this long."
The Los Angeles County Jail is holding 35 percent of all long-term inmates. Statewide, 44 inmates already have been sentenced to more than a decade in local jails, with one Los Angeles County man serving a 43-year term for trafficking large amounts of drugs.
As of Monday, the association found that 1,153 inmates in county jails were sentenced to at least five years. Drug trafficking resulted in most of the sentences topping a decade, although a Riverside County inmate is serving nearly 13 years for felony child abuse and a Solano County inmate is serving more than 10 years as a serial thief.
The association started with inmates whose formal sentences are at least five years because most will actually be released after serving less than that. With time off for good behavior, for example, an inmate serving a five-year sentence can be released in about 2 1/2 years.
The number of long-term inmates in local jails will keep growing as the state diverts more lower-level criminals from state prisons to comply with the governor's realignment law and federal court orders to reduce the population in the state's 33 adult prisons.
Before lawmakers approved Brown's law enforcement realignment in 2011, the only prisoner who might spend more than a year in a county jail would be someone awaiting trial in a complicated case such as murder.
While the number of long-term inmates represents less than 2 percent of the 77,000 prisoners who can be housed in California's 58 county jails, sheriffs say they command a disproportionate share of money and attention.
Many sheriffs would like to return their long-term inmates to state prisons, Warner said, although he acknowledged that is not likely as long as the state is trying to relieve prison crowding.
"It's a really tough issue to resolve," Warner said. "There are some inmates who don't belong in county jails for this period of time."
Jeffrey Callison, a spokesman for the state Department Corrections and Rehabilitation, acknowledged that sheriffs need a different type of facility to handle long-term inmates, but he noted that state lawmakers authorized $500 million last year to help counties renovate jails and add space for treating inmates.
"That's the kind of construction you're seeing already," Callison said. "The jails are getting modernized. They're able to offer more programs to their inmates."
Lawmakers have approved $1.2 billion in bonds for building new jails, many of which are under construction. Counties are getting $865 million in operating money through the state this fiscal year, with their allocation budgeted to exceed $1 billion next year.
Callison said the state also is discussing with counties ways in which they can better accommodate their long-term inmates, including contracting with outside facilities that are better designed to handle that population.
He said judges also can sentence inmates to split sentences that reduce jail time while requiring that released felons are supervised in the community.
"The U.S. Supreme Court ordered California to dramatically reduce its prison population. Rather than release prisoners early, the state is complying through realignment," Elizabeth Ashford, a spokeswoman for the governor, said in an emailed statement.
She said the state will keep helping counties as they implement the policy.

If you were bothered and confused by the choice to cast Demi Moore as Gloria Steinem in the new Linda Lovelace biopic, I've got some good news and some bad news: The good news is that Moore has whippetted her way out of the part. The bad news is that the part's been recast. So who's going to play the feminist icon?
It's Carrie Bradshaw! I mean, Sarah Jessica Parker!
The studio confirmed today that Parker, alumna of such roles as the woman who tries to force Matthew McConaughey to move out of his house in Failure to Launch and Sarah Sanderson in Hocus Pocus, will pick up where Moore left off, mid voiceover during the closing credits—
As I thought about the slavery of traditional marriage and the oppression of traditional gender roles for men, I couldn't help but wonder: Could a magazine written and staffed by women succeed? Or was a woman's work never fun?

SACRAMENTO Calif. (Reuters) - California Democrats scrambled on Tuesday to win Republican support for a plan to improve water supplies that has been mired in regional and party politics for a year, even as the state suffers from a three-year drought that shows no sign of ending.
A day after voting for a two-day extension to put a proposal on November's ballot to pay for reservoirs and other projects by selling bonds, Democratic lawmakers enlisted the support and negotiating clout of Democratic Governor Jerry Brown, a fiscal moderate who said previous plans were too expensive.
"We're very close," said Brown after meeting with Republican leaders who want more reservoirs and Democratic holdouts who say damming rivers and flooding canyons to build them is damaging to the environment. "There's been a lot of compromise."
California is in the throes of a devastating drought that is expected to cost its economy $2.2 billion in lost crops, jobs and other damage.
Lawmakers from both parties say this may be the only year that tax-averse voters, aware of the drought's impact, would be willing to pay for new water projects, yet they continue to fight over which ones to include.
An $11 billion plan negotiated under Republican former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2009 is set to go before voters in November, but Democrats, who now control both houses of the legislature and all statewide elected offices, say it is too expensive and full of pork.
Brown has said he would campaign against it, and polls show little public support. Democrats who represent the area around the fragile San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta say some of the projects included in it would damage vital habitat for endangered animals and risk water supplies.
The legislature has been working since last summer to develop a cheaper alternative, but a two-thirds majority vote is required before such a measure can be placed on the ballot - and Democrats are short two votes in the state Senate thanks to a series of scandals that sidelined three of their members.
Peter De Marco, a spokesman for senate Republican leader Bob Huff, said the main sticking point is the amount of money to be spent on water storage, including reservoirs.
"It's a critical piece for California that has been neglected for a long time," De Marco said. Republican leaders planned to continue negotiating with the Brown administration Tuesday afternoon, he said.
The latest version of the bond has $2.5 billion for such projects, but Republicans have held out for $3 billion, the amount in the Schwarzenegger proposal. Some Republicans also want the plan to include an environmental project that would later allow the state to build tunnels or canals to carry water to the Central Valley, a major farming area that relies on irrigation.

Ivy Updates
Harvard controls its destiny in the Ivy race as Harvard enters play at 3-1 in the league alongside Penn and Princeton, which square off in New Jersey. Dartmouth and Cornell, which defeated Princeton last week, remain in contention at 2-2 while Columbia, Brown and Yale all sit at 1-3.
Last Year's Meeting
Collier Winters threw for 323 yards and three touchdown passes and Harvard pulled away in the second half for a 35-21 win over Columbia to make Tim Murphy the winningest football coach at Harvard with 118 wins.
With the scored tied 14-14 at halftime, Winters scored on a one-yard run with 8:34 remaining in the third quarter to begin a string of 21 straight points. Winters then hit Chris Lorditch and Kyle Juszczyk on a pair of 41-yard touchdown passes for a 35-14 lead with 13:23 to play in the game.
Winters finished 20 of 30 through the air while Treavor Scales and Zach Boden combined for 136 yards and a touchdown on just 21 carries. Juszczyk had seven catches for 118 yards and two scores while Lorditch caught four passes for 123 yards.
Ross Morand returned an interception 87 yards for a touchdown for Columbia.
Harvard's Last Time Out
Colton Chapple posted 258 all-purpose yards and Treavor Scales ran for three touchdowns as Harvard defeated Dartmouth for the ninth straight time, beating the Big Green 31-14.
Chapple tallied 170 yards on 17 of 31 passes and added 88 rushing yards. His 16-yard touchdown run on Harvard's opening drive gave the Crimson a 7-0 lead.
Scales then scored twice in the second quarter, one from 3 yards and another from 2 yards, to help Harvard take a 21-0 advantage at halftime.
Dartmouth rallied back, cutting the deficit to 21-14 behind two touchdown passes from Alex Park, but Scales' third touchdown, another 2-yarder, sealed the win.
Scales finished with 89 yards on 21 carries. It was his third multi-touchdown rushing effort of the season.
Park threw for 304 yards and completed 23 of 38 passes but Dartmouth managed just 15 rushing yards.
Columbia's Last Time Out
Sean Brackett rushed for one touchdown and threw for two more, the second a 2-yard pass to Marcorus Garrett with 45 seconds left to give Columbia a 26-22 victory over Yale.
The Lions, who trailed 14-5 midway through the third quarter, got a third-quarter score from Jake Wanamaker, whose 4-yard touchdown catch was the first of his career.
Brackett, who was 33 of 47 passing for 328 yards and those two touchdowns, scored once himself on a 2-yard run in the fourth quarter. But Yale's Tyler Varga, who carried 25 times for 220 yards and three touchdowns of 28, 3 and 25 yards, scored to regain the lead for the Bulldogs. A two-point conversion run by Mordecai Cargill made it 22-19.
Brackett wasn't finished however. He passed Columbia down field, then hit Garrett for Columbia's first win over Yale since 2001.
Road Sweet Road
Harvard has won its last 10 games at Dartmouth's Memorial Field dating back to 1994, meaning that head coach Tim Murphy has never lost a road game in the series.

Thirty Road
Harvard has reached the 30-point plateau in 10 of its last 12 road games and has scored at least 40 in three of its last six.
Harvard Coach Tim Murphy
In his 19th season as Harvard's all-time winningest head coach, Tim Murphy enters Saturday's game with a 126-60 record with the Crimson and a 158-105-1 overall head coaching record, which includes five years at Cincinnati and two years at Maine. Murphy is one of just five coaches to win 100 games since the formation of the Ivy League in 1954. Murphy has led Harvard to six Ivy League championships (1997, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008, 2011). Murphy serves as president for the American Football Coaches Association this season. He is 14-4 all-time against Columbia.
