What is gravity really?
What is gravity really?
Because of gravity, if you drop something, it falls down, instead of up. Well, everybody knows that! But, what does this really mean? What is gravity?
Gravity has played a big part in making the universe the way it is. Gravity is what makes pieces of matter clump together into planets, moons, and stars. Gravity is what makes the planets orbit the stars--like Earth orbits our star, the Sun. Gravity is what makes the stars clump together in huge, swirling galaxies.
A great scientist, Albert Einstein, who lived in the 20th century, had a new idea about gravity. He thought that gravity is what happens when space itself is curved or warped around a mass, such as a star or a planet. Thus, a star or planet would cause kind of a dip in space so that any other object that came too near would tend to fall into the dip.
This 2-D animation gives an idea of how gravity works in 3-D.
Quite a number of experiments show that Einstein was right about this idea and a lot of others. But there are questions for which even Einstein had no answers.
For example, if gravity is a force that causes all matter to be attracted to all other matter, why are atoms mostly empty space inside? (There is really hardly any actual matter in an atom!) How are the forces that hold atoms together different from gravity? Is it possible that all the forces we see at work in nature are really different sides of the same basic force or structure?
Could some of the same laws of nature be at work in the designs of all things in the pictures above?
These are big questions that scientists and ordinary people like us have wondered about for a long time. For a long time we haven't known how to go about finding the answers, other than trying to work things out on paper.
But now NASA has a special program, called
. . . for seeking answers to these and other mysteries of the universe. Fundamental Physics hopes to do two things:
Over the years, scientists and engineers have developed new technologies and instruments that will help us understand nature. Now we can take these new instruments into space and do experiments where the forces of gravity are very, very small (like when the Space Shuttle or the International Space Station are orbiting Earth in "free fall"). This way, scientists can do very delicate experiments to see what single atoms do under special conditions.
NASA hopes these experiments will help us understand our universe and ourselves. NASA also hopes the experiments will help develop technologies that will benefit people in their everyday lives.

Making Health Care Work
LOWERING HEALTH CARE COSTS—We're working to cut costs by cutting waste and focusing on prevention and care that get results.
It's a big year for health care. Many people have new options for coverage. And new protections are making existing health insurance work better. Take a look at our latest resources to help you make the most of the changes:
Health Insurance Tips - Top tips on getting the best deal on health insurance, and information about new consumer protections
So You Need Health Insurance, Now What? - The new young person's guide to health insuranceWe're excited to get the word out about these new options and consumer protections. But we also know there's more to do to really make health care work across America. That's why we're advancing new initiatives to cut waste, improve care, and give consumers more control over their health.
The Health Insurance Marketplace
The state and federal health insurance marketplaces can help consumers and small businesses find a better deal on health coverage, with tools to compare plans, and information about new financial help. We're working to make sure these marketplaces meet their potential to boost competition, reduce costs and improve quality.
Health Insurance Rate Watch
It's time for health insurance companies to get serious about lowering the cost of care by cutting waste and focusing on preventive care that gets results – instead of raising deductibles and hiking premiums. We're tracking insurers' health insurance rate increase proposals, and working to strengthen protections for consumers and small businesses against excessive rates.
Fighting the High Cost of Rx Drugs
According to the Federal Trade Commission, Americans spend at least $3.5 billion more than they should have to on prescription drugs every year. That's because drug companies use a practice called "pay for delay" to pay off their competitors to delay availability of the lower priced generic version of the drug. We're working to put a stop to this practice.

Giant Springs -- a beautiful, colorful, fresh water, bubbling, amazing and very large, natural spring! It bursts forth from the ground near the Missouri River in Great Falls. It's also part of a beautiful park; situated along the "Rivers Edge Trail" -- the jewel of this city! This is the quilt I named for the springs, because the colors are so amazing. There is the brightest and glowing greens of every shade in the underwater plants, and of course, in spring and summer months, the park has lots of flowers too...
Boy, I hope I get points for PATIENCE... this much blanket-stitching is bound to build something!
What a beautiful place! I had to go to the State of MT website to find this picture, as unfortunately, I don't have any digital pictures I've taken yet. See that cement bridge to the left outer edge of the picture? It's so cool to walk across it and gaze into the 'waterfall' that is created by the rock outcropping outlining the spring itself. I can't wait to get down there... even though today we woke up to 7 new inches of new snow...plus four more today (Sunday), and it's been 0 degrees or below, or barely above all weekend.
And... of course, then it's time to try another decorative stitch. I always highly recommend YLI "Variations" - it's a 35 weight 100% polyester, with a dash of variation in colors... perfect!
And the blocks are the perfect background to practice MULTIPLE MOTIFS!
Go for it!
Pattern is called "Petals on the Edge" by the talented designer and quilter Cheryl Wittmayer of Billings, MT, from her SEW-BE-IT pattern company; a Montana based business lady with a great eye! Visit her website here and be prepared for some fabulous inspiration!
I made this quilt a number of years ago now... and I have to say, that the black thread in the decorative stitch on this flower was very boring!! Kind of a waste in a way... I think perhaps another thread color, or variegated would have been a funner choice... but it's all good! That's the way I learn! And it was a great way to get to know my new machine, and play with that wonderful stash of fabrics we enjoy having!Great big flowers --- that is what makes a great flower block. And it's not like we're lacking for great inspiration with all the big flower prints that are BLOOMING everywhere in 'fabric-land!'
And then... try your hand with a bit of METALLICS! Just a simple, straight stitch --- free motion, cuz that's the easy way to add just a bit of sparkle... like the water bubbling from Giant Springs!

2013 All-Journal Boys Basketball Player of the Year: Sean Mathiowetz ends his career in a class of his own
SLEEPY EYE – Sleepy Eye St. Mary's senior Sean Mathiowetz is proud of his high school basketball career, one that sees him leaving as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,838 career points.
But while his athletic talents had a lot to do with that record, he also put in his share of hard work throughout his four-year varsity career at St. Mary's, and it showed this past season with the Knights.
Mathiowetz was once again the premier player in the area, unstoppable at times with the ball. Whether he pulled up from outside and hit a 3-pointer or drove to the basket, he always found ways to score.
He led the Knights to a 23-4 record, averaging 24 points, 10 rebounds and six assists per game. Although it's rare for a point guard to lead a team in rebounds, Mathiowetz found a way to do it.
He was named the 2013 Tomahawk Conference boys basketball player of the year and he also was named the 2013 All-Journal Boys Basketball Player of the Year, as voted on by The Journal's sports writing staff.
Mathiowetz dominated the voting and was the unanimous choice for player of the year. And while the individual records and honors are nice, they aren't the moments that stand out to him when asked about his senior year.
"I think just that, from what we lost last year, a lot of people said, 'Oh, well you didn't lose very much,' but we lost our next three scorers and I like how we came together as a team this year," Mathiowetz said. "A lot of kids stepped up and I think that was the most enjoyable part."
During Mathiowetz's four-year run at St. Mary's, the team's win total went from nine his freshman year to 10, 24 and then 23 this year. His surrounding cast over those years included teammate Kansas Adams, who scored 1,317 points in his four-year career, and Jordan Anderson, who finished his career with 988 points.
A family affair
Mathiowetz is the youngest of four children. All three of his older siblings have eclipsed the 1,000-point mark in their career, but Sean gained family bragging rights when he passed Molly's previous school record (1,709 career points) in February.
"A lot of people are just like, 'Wow'" he said. "There's a lot of kids scoring 1,000 points, it's a big deal, but it's not as big of a deal anymore. A lot of people are surprised that all of my siblings have scored over 1,000 points and I just broke my sister's record, I think people are surprised by that part of it. But it's pretty nice to say that my whole family is 1,000-point scorer."
And basketball, like the other sports, seems to be a big event for parents and past graduates of the high school. Many recent graduates still attend games and support the team.
"In our case, we're so small that some of us played varsity [with the older players] as freshmen and we're a little closer than I think most schools get," Mathiowetz said. "It's nice to see them come back and see them at the games and you're still friends. It's a small community, you don't have a lot of people to start out with, but when you get a lot of people in a little gym like Sleepy Eye [St. Mary's] and you play in front of them, its fun to be successful too."
What the future holds
Mathiowetz has been a three-sport standout in football, basketball and baseball. He's the rare athlete that can pick which one he wants to play in college, but he's not 100 percent sure of what he'll do just yet.
He may choose not to play sports in college and focus on academics, but there are still some options available.
"I'm either going to go to South Central [College] in Mankato and not play any sports, but I've also talked to MSU [Minnesota State University, Mankato] and I think I might go there next year to play some basketball," Mathiowetz said. "I talked to my brother [Matt] who played baseball at MSU, and he said that I was going to be surprised by all of the traveling and it's so cold. I like the controlled environment aspect. Just the atmosphere [at a Mavericks basketball game], I went to a few games and it was incredible of how many people go to those games and they're a really successful and competitive team."

Parents who protect their children from frustration and disappointment, who turn every failure into "good try!" and every routine task into "great job!," who devote themselves to making their children happy all the time are raising empty, confused, anxious, unhappy young adults who can't deal with the normal frustrations of life, writes therapist Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic.
Patients in their 20s or early 30s report depression, anxiety, difficulty choosing or committing to a satisfying career path, poor relationships, a sense of emptiness or lack of purpose — and loving, caring, endlessly supportive parents who are "my best friends in the whole world" and "always there for me."
Since the 1980s, self-esteem has risen in tandem with rates of anxiety and depression, says Jean Twenge, co-author of The Narcissism Epidemic and professor of psychology at San Diego State University.
"Narcissists are happy when they're younger, because they're the center of the universe," Twenge explains. "Their parents act like their servants, shuttling them to any activity they choose and catering to their every desire. Parents are constantly telling their children how special and talented they are."
. . . In early adulthood, this becomes a big problem. "People who feel like they're unusually special end up alienating those around them," Twenge says. "They don't know how to work on teams as well or deal with limits. They get into the workplace and expect to be stimulated all the time, because their worlds were so structured with activities. They don't like being told by a boss that their work might need improvement, and they feel insecure if they don't get a constant stream of praise. . . . They grew up in a bubble, so they get out into the real world and they start to feel lost and helpless. Kids who always have problems solved for them believe that they don't know how to solve problems. And they're right—they don't."
Instead of learning to face frustration at the age if six, when a better soccer team wins the game, overprotected kids face it for the first time in college, says Wendy Mogel, a clinical psychologist and author of The Blessing of a Skinned Knee. And that's only if Mom and Dad don't swoop in to save the day.
Parents refuse to believe their children might be average, Mogel says. "Every child is either learning-disabled, gifted, or both." Parents prefer a learning-disability diagnosis to the possibility their child just isn't all that smart. "They believe that 'average' is bad for self-esteem." (A friend who was a school psychologist in an affluent suburb told me the exact same thing.)
Self-esteem doesn't predict happiness, writes Gottlieb, "especially if the self-esteem comes from constant accommodation and praise rather than earned accomplishment." Perseverance, resiliency, and reality-testing are better predictors of fulfillment and success.
It makes me feel thankful I wasn't that nice to my kid. Her father and I made a habit of singing "You can't always get what you want" to her when she confused her desires with reality.

In the Beginning There Was a Void
Approximately a year ago, Brendan discussed with me the crazy possibility of rewriting most of the Mozilla code automatically to modernize the codebase. The benefits were huge. Gecko would use the C++ standard library to improve code readability and reducing size, XPCOM would be ripped out of the core to improve performance and decrease footprint, etc.
It seemed like a good idea, but in reality no other giant C++ project has attempted this before so we were not sure of how realistic it was. I spent a year in a lonely corner of Mozilla trying to materialize the idea.
Brendan & Graydon pointed me to elsa, the C++ parser that supposedly could parse Mozilla. However, it turned out that it was only able to parse an old version of Mozilla and rejected the new source. One of the elsa maintainers even tried to convince us to it was not designed for source-to-source transformations and wouldn't work that way.
After I patched up elsa and started devising ways to use it for source rewriting I ran into more pain. After a few false starts, I realized that C++ in Mozilla is actually a mix of CPP and C++ and one can not rewrite C++ without dealing with the mess that is macro expansion. MCPP was pointed out to me as a good starting point for hacking on a preprocessor. So I designed an inline log for macro expansion. To my surprise the maintainer of MCPP, Kiyoshi MATSUI, volunteered to implement the spec and thus saved me from a world of pain. (For which I am eternally grateful as I can't imagine a more depressing pastime than working on the root of all evil: the C preprocessor).
In parallel with Kiyoshi's work I modified elkhound & elsa to make the C++ parser a lot more suitable for source transformations. I learned about LR & GLR parsing and confirmed my suspicion that I don't want to write parser generators for a living.
Happy Conclusion
All this work finally got us what we discussed last September: a framework for doing lots of boring code rewrites.
The first big Moz2 task is switching from reference counting to garbage collection. Today, garburator produced a gigantic patch for subset of the content/ module and all of the affected files compiled. Hopefully next week I'll have a multi-megabyte patch for the whole of Mozilla that compiles and possibly runs.

About the Author: James P. Zumwalt serves as Chargé d'Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo, Japan.
Many of you have seen and heard President Obama's speech in Cairo about America's renewed commitment to seek common ground with the Muslim world. I was proud and happy to hear these words, because I share the President's view that religion can bring people together.
On Friday, the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo invited ambassadors from countries with major Muslim populations, Japanese politicians, scholars, and journalists to gather over lunch and view the President's speech. We discussed ways to strengthen our ties to Muslims in Japan. I felt excitement about this important dialogue, which is very much a tradition at our embassy in Tokyo. For example, over the past four years, the embassy has hosted an Iftar celebration during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan for Muslim ambassadors in Japan. As a gesture of appreciation, last year these same ambassadors hosted a Christmas party for the U.S. embassy staff.
In his speech, President Obama highlighted the importance of interfaith dialogue, such as service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims and Jews as well as Buddhists, Hindus, and people of many other faiths.
Personally, I know the importance of religious freedom. My wife Ann is a Buddhist. Before we married, we attended the Buddhist temple in Washington, DC, so I could learn about Buddhism. She joined me in counseling sessions on marriage with a Protestant minister. We held our wedding ceremony at the Nishi Honganji Buddhist temple in Los Angeles, a special place for my wife, because her uncle had been a priest at the temple, and her brother had been married there. We knew that for our relationship – indeed, for any relationship – to succeed, mutual respect, understanding, and appreciation would be essential.
I'm very interested to hear your thoughts about the President's speech.
Madhukar in India writes:
Really it was speech that indicates Mr Barack Obama is going to bring change in the whole world,too.
In this regard I would like to share my knowledge of bringing change in the world that is the result of my thirty years of study of how to bring peace in mankind. As I do not have information/email address to introduce it to appropriat authority.
I will be thankful to you if you direct this mail to appropriate authority or send me its email address.

Skip to comments.Report: Lab Results Counter Bryant Accuser's Story
Posted on 05/27/2004 9:31:52 AM PDT by SmoggerEdited on 05/27/2004 9:35:04 AM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
DENVER (Reuters) - Crime laboratory evidence shows the 19-year-old woman who has accused Kobe Bryant of rape had consensual sex with another man hours after she said the basketball star raped her, MSNBC reported on Wednesday.
The DNA evidence from the prosecution's own laboratory could be introduced in court as early as Thursday when the Los Angeles Laker will be back in an Eagle, Colorado, courtroom for a pre-trial hearing, the cable TV report said.
Bryant's lawyer, Pamela Mackey, laid a bombshell in a prior pre-trial hearing when she suggested the woman had sex within 15 hours after she said she was raped.
Through her attorney, the young woman denied having sex so soon after she said she was raped on June 30 at a Colorado resort where she worked and Bryant was staying for out-patient surgery on his knee.
According to the MSNBC report, fresh sperm and semen samples were found inside the woman's body from samples given during a rape examination and that such evidence would prove she had sex within hours after the incident with Bryant.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.netscape.cnn.com ...
All I can say is Yuck! and double YUCK!
She musta been awfully messy.
An untidy young 'ho to say the least.
This case is a travesty and a sham and a mockery. It's a TRAVESTSHAMMOCKERY!
I just hope they wrap this up early so he can kick some more Timberwolf butt tonight.
Wasn't there a law firm by the name of Travesty, Mockery, and Sham?
The judge should do the world a favor and toss this case. Any money spent on the prosectution from this day forward is a waste of taxpayer dollars, as there is no way in hell that he's going to be found guilty.
In fact, the longer this case goes on, the better will be Kobe's chances of filing a lawsuit of his own.
This was known long ago and did not stop the Judge's decision to proceed. This is probably a defense move to cloud the water.
or maybe
Cheatham, Cummin & Going
It was not introduced into evidence long ago. It was asserted by the defense.
Cloud the water is an understatement. She had sex after she was allegedly raped? How can anyone determine the source of her "injuries?" Then she lied about it to police. There goes her credebility. Her lawyer was repeating the lie just a mere month ago. Not to mention she is covered with jiz from a key prosecution witness.
Try my lawyers: Shyster, Ripov, Gypsum and DeFraud.
This is my most public humiliation yet!
Who cares? If he wasn't doing something really bad to start with, he wouldn't be in this mess. I have no sympathy for Kolbe Bryant. Too many other really important problems in this world to worry about.
Well geee don't read this thread. It's important that people are falsely prosecuted for crimes they didn't commit. At least I think it is. Maybe our standards are slipping some.
Quick turn on FOX news. The judge is reaming the prosecution right now.
This does not prove that he was falsly accused. It will never be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. His word against hers. Some people cause their own problems
Just now saw your ping.
Going to TV right now.
I think the Prosecutor is the one "clouding the water".
From the article:
Prosecutors have said that DNA from someone other than Bryant was found on the underwear the woman wore when she went to the hospital and was the result of mistakenly putting on soiled underwear that had DNA from an earlier sexual episode.
However, the DNA sample taken from her body could refute that line of thinking.
End article.
This girl has probably got some guys DNA on every piece of clothing she owns.
Bump for later read
I think that firm was-- Dewey ,Screwem and Howe.
How the Hell can you prove a negative. If that were true I could accuse you of anything. Say for instance making terrorist threats to me, and of course you could NEVER prove a negative (that you didn't do it).
I am at work, but from what I have heard:
Judge is fed up with the prosecutions delays, embarrasses them in open court.
Prosecution fails to respond to motions on time.
Judge scolded prosecution because they are making it hard for him to set a trail date because they are so unprepared with dates for scientific testing.
You heard exactly right.
I watched the (gasp) PMSNBC report.
State District Judge Terry Ruckriegle issued a rare bench ruling Thursday authorizing the review.
Bryant's defense team alleges that his accuser sent a text message to her ex-boyfriend shortly after her encounter with Bryant.
An attorney for the ex-boyfriend was in court Thursday arguing that allowing the defense access to the phone records would be an invasion of the ex-boyfriend's privacy.
The defense will be allowed to examine the phone records behind closed doors.
Also at the hearing, Bryant's defense team was expected to attack the police work that led to a sexual assault charge against the NBA star.
Prosecutors are fighting the defense bid to call a veteran detective to testify. John Ragle in 1995 criticized the crime-scene investigation in the O.J. Simpson slayings case.
Ruckriegle scheduled open-court arguments on that topic and several others, including a defense request to obtain genetic profiles from unidentified sources.
Although Ruckriegle was expected to set a trial date Thursday, he said that he was unable to do so until some pending issues had been resolved. He chastized the prosecution for missing key deadlines regarding DNA testing.
Following the hearing, Bryant was expected to fly to Los Angeles for an NBA playoff game against Minnesota. It would be the fifth time he has played in a game the night after appearing in court.
Bryant, 25, has said he had consensual sex with a 19-year-old employee of the Vail-area resort where he stayed last summer. If convicted of felony sexual assault, he faces four years to life in prison or 20 years to life on probation and up to $750,000 in fines.
"Who cares? If he wasn't doing something really bad to start with, he wouldn't be in this mess. I have no sympathy for Kolbe Bryant."
So you think he should be convicted of rape because he cheated on his wife?
I missed that; what happened???
No, he won't be convicted of rape. Like I said, his story against hers. Who knows the truth? But the aggravation he is going through is his own making. Remember the right =wing conspiracy? Poor Bill was set up. Yes, Kobe made a mistake - a huge one and while he won't be found guilty he is paying a price.
this is just like the teen rape trial in Orange County....the girl was sleeping with the two defendents and commenting into the video camera that she was now a porn star days before the assault.
seems like the victims are trashing themselves
I think you're right about that; I'm almost positive that he tried to hide this evidence behind the Rape Shield Laws.
Plus, there are a lot of questions about just HOW the accuer's rehab bills were paid; the Colorado Victim fund specifically says $20,000 per victim and her rehab cost $35,000 a month.
Additionally, why did Hulbert request those phone records? Evidently she text messaged a LOT of people on the way home from the hotel!
Even trashy women get raped. Doesn't mean they deserve it. Even murderers can get off if they are rich and can pay for the right attorney and can trash the victum.
Do you belive that Broderick women was raped by Clinton? Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. No one knows for sure. It can never be known for certain. Rape cases are difficult to prove because there are usually only 2 people there;
Many women are raped everyday but don't report it because they cannot prove it.
I don't care how many people she had sex with before and after, it doesn't mean she wasn't raped by Kobe Bryant.
It certainly doesn't mean the prosecutor framed Kobe. It could mean the proseceutor was inept like Marsha Clark, however.
My point again, is this case can never be proved either way. Kobe will walk but his reputation is shot and so is the young woman.
You're clueless. What is the evidence that this woman was raped?
It's still just being asserted--in its weird way--by the defense. And predictably enough, the court day came and went and the story changed.
When one is not dealing in facts, but spin (see democrat-style strategy which I can spot a mile away), that is just the way it goes.
You highlighted the wrong word.
As a matter of fact,they are so traumatized,that they find it difficult to even be touched,by anyone;sometimes for months or years after having been raped.
Perhaps you should do just a wee bit more research on topics you want to talk about. :-)
I'm stung!
Where are your cohorts Cinfla, #3Fan, and af_vet?
Cohorts they are not, I don't know them. But it's the type of malformed conclusion I would expect from one who makes statements about backing horses.
I stick to facts, not innuendo or spin. I haven't made a conclusion unlike many here.
Yeah. Well I find it disturbing too. Let that be a lesson to you. Put some money aside for that day or you might end up with a public defender.
Most defendants can't afford to pay the investigators needed to get to do their own investigation and instead are forced to rely on the states investigation. (ie the Police)
even if they can afford good legal representation.
You must have driven over the speed limit sometime in your life. I think you should be prosecuted for reckless driving and lose your license.
If Kobe Bryant wasn't a famous basketball star, you guys wouldn't be worried about him one bit. If he was just a regular black guy, none of you would care.
Its amazing how many experts on rape have posted on this thread. I am so impressed.

I'm no Pamela Mackey but I've defended both rape victims and accused rapists. One of my friends is a rape victim. I think I know a little more than the average person about rape. But the great thing about this site is that you don't have to be an expert on any subject to comment, otherwise you'd be silent all the time.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (194 votes).
In short: really good race weather was perfectIn full: only downfall of this was ladies toilets, there was only 1 working, could have been more toilets.Date of review: November 25, 2006
In short: Good race, good friendly atmosphere. Must sort out toilet facilities In full: Fairly average in terms of toughness. Three modest hills are not bad but make it not generally a pb course. Mostly scenic. A good event to do at this time of year. If better toilet facilities could be sorted I would highly recommend this race.Date of review: November 25, 2006
In short: Cold, dreary day, no motivation.In full: The first hill at 1 mile, the coking plant and the CO2 fumes from traffic are real killers. Good rural setting. Wasn't really motivated by everything, walked about 2k, yet was only 16secs outside PB !!!!.Date of review: November 25, 2006
In short: Enjoyed the trip out. Pleasent countyside race. Two little testing hills at the beginning and end of the race. will do again.Date of review: November 24, 2006
In short: A testing run friendly stewardsIn full: this one will make or break you, can;t wait for next year Date of review: November 23, 2006
In short: I knew the course was tough but the weather and atmosphere made this a special race for me. In full: For a practical beginner (my 3rd 10K) the reports that this was flat/undulating on the forum thread is mis-leading. The hill past the coking plant makes the legs burn and the last 2 miles are uphill. It's a tough course! Although I PB'd this is not one you would expect to hammer from start to end.Atmosphere was great and the race was well organised.Date of review: November 22, 2006
In short: Some quibbles but overall good.In full: There werent near enough toilets for the ladies. I dont mind a bit of a q but I started queueing at 10am and got to the start just in time with people still waiting for the loo. And the traffic on the hill was worrying, coming dangerously close at speed, though I think only runners nearer the back would have noticed, and I realise there's only so much you can do about impatient drivers. Still think we could have been a bit better protected but didnt look behind to see what was going on. Thanks to the 20 stone moron who suggested we go on a diet from his car which he could barely fit in to,who I gave the usual diplomatic response to. Hills challenging to say the least but not the worst Ive done. Good mix of runners of all abilities so not too threatening for a first timer. And I don't find the tshirt too unpleasant!!All in all not a bad way to spend a sunday morning.Date of review: November 21, 2006
In short: Very enjoyable, the hills aren't as bad as they say :)Date of review: November 21, 2006
In short: Enjoyed this, undulating hmmm?In full: Enjoyed the race, found the last undulation challenging. Will be back next year. Directions from the M1 need to be revamped for next year.Date of review: November 21, 2006
In short: Good honest courseIn full: Well organised Barnsley. Starting on the main street obviously adds a bit of traffic spice but vocal marshalling kept everyone aware of the cars.I did a quick reccy of the finish which helped.Date of review: November 21, 2006

Lifetime Achievement Award
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to rise today and join the Upper Ottawa Valley Chamber of Commerce in honouring Pembroke businessman Mr. Charles Butler, who received the chamber's prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for more than 40 years in the automotive business.
Charlie, as he is known to his friends and business associates, has been operating in the Pembroke area since 1963. Originally from the Maritimes 44 years ago, Charlie was a tank commander stationed at CFB Petawawa. With a wife and four children, after 12 years in the military, Charlie decided it was time to try something new.
Charlie proved to be an astute businessman. He built an automotive franchise from nothing to the success it is today, employing 80 people. That success has allowed Charlie to give back to the community.
While our community sees the large donations, like $500,000 to the Pembroke Regional Hospital, Charlie has a soft spot for others in our area, be it the families of former employees or the solders who are currently serving at CFB Petawawa.
On behalf of his friends, family and community, we congratulate Charlie on his many contributions to the Upper Ottawa Valley.
Restorative Justice
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Carole Freeman Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, restorative justice is a concept of justice in which shared values and community participation are crucial. Many peoples practise restorative justice or have practised it sometime over the course of history.
The primary objective of restorative justice is to build a safer, healthier society by promoting the reintegration of an offender through a process of reintegration into a community group. Restorative justice always takes a humanistic approach, providing support for victims, allowing offenders to take responsibility for their misconduct and, above all, tackling the underlying causes of crime.
I would like to emphasize that the Bloc Québécois supports this principle of justice, especially in the current political context, since the government believes that imposing harsher prison sentences and sending more people to prison is the best way to reduce crime and delinquency.
Black History Month
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Jeff Watson Essex, ON
Mr. Speaker, Elijah McCoy was born in Colchester township to runaway slaves who fled Kentucky via the underground railroad. He studied mechanical engineering in Scotland, but racial discrimination denied him the opportunity to be a railroad engineer. Instead, he became a fireman-oiler with the Michigan Central Railway. Here he set about to remedy the poor on-time performance of railways from the need to stop to oil joints.
At his home machine shop, Elijah invented an automatic lubricator, receiving a US patent in 1872. His "Improvement for Steam Engines" allowed trains to run faster with less maintenance, allowing for the first time reliable scheduling and paving the way for our modern economy, a feat which changed the world as they knew it.
His genius for the automatic lubricator was most imitated but never equalled, leading businesses in search of his authentic article to ask for "the real McCoy".
Today, during Black History Month, we not only celebrate a gifted African Canadian inventor, but I call upon the House to support me in having Elijah McCoy named a national historic figure.
Black History Month
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, in 1995, the Parliament of Canada officially designated February as Black History Month to celebrate the unique contributions of Afro-Canadians to our cultural heritage.
Consider, for example, William Peyton Hubbard, who was the first black person to serve as a mayor, when he served as acting mayor of Toronto between 1894 and 1913.
For those who came from around the world, choosing to settle in Canada in order to build a better life for themselves and their family, the Afro-Canadian culture fully contributes to the wealth and vitality of our country's traditions.
We recently paid tribute to Martin Luther King, who so eloquently shared his dream with the world. We too have a dream, one that is realized every day around us.
I am pleased to extend my best wishes to all Canadians for Black History Month.
Senate Tenure Legislation
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bruce Stanton Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, today is Groundhog Day. Yes, today Canada's own Wiarton Willie climbed out of his burrow. He did not see his shadow, so spring is just around the corner.
We also know Groundhog Day is a popular movie. It is a tale of a man who gets caught in an endless repeat of the same day, Groundhog Day. Every day he wakes up to the same characters, the same routine, day after day after day.
It seems the unelected Liberal majority in the Senate has been caught in their own version of Groundhog Day this week. On Tuesday, the Liberal senators stood up, they saw their shadow and adjourned the debate on the Senate tenure bill. On Wednesday, the Liberal senators stood up, saw their shadow and adjourned the debate on the Senate tenure bill. Yesterday, the Liberal senators stood up, saw their shadow and adjourned the debate on the Senate tenure bill.
Today is Groundhog Day. Willie did not see his shadow, neither should the Liberal senators. Why do they not pass Bill S-4 and limit Senate tenure?

Bill Siksay Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, Mahmoud Jaballah, Mohammad Mahjoub and Hassan Almrei have been indefinitely detained on security certificates for over five or six years without charge or conviction and with no knowledge of the evidence against them. They are currently incarcerated at the Kingston Immigration Holding Centre, where they have been on a hunger strike for over two months, seeking resolution of grievances regarding the conditions of their detention.
There is very serious concern for their health. Ten days ago a group of health care professionals released a statement noting the very serious health issues these men now face. They called for an immediate examination by an independent physician and daily monitoring.
The Minister of Public Safety and the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration must take significant measures to seek an end to this situation immediately. One potential solution would be to urgently appoint the Correctional Investigator of Canada to investigate the situation, speak to the men and make recommendations about a resolution. There is not much time to avoid very serious consequences. Action is required today.
Bobby Clow
Statements By Members
February 2nd, 2007 / 11:10 a.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to honour the life of and pay tribute to one of Prince Edward Island's favourite sons, Bobby Clow.
Since 1964, Bobby and his wife Verna operated Clows Red & White in Hampshire, PEI, one of the island's best known country stores.
Bobby was one of a kind, with a passion for and immense pride in his community. He was an active volunteer in too many activities to name. But it was with his humour and fun-loving ribbing that he left a lasting impression on everyone he met. As one friend put it, "If laughter is the best medicine, then he dished out an awful lot of medicine". As another said, "Kids just loved him, not one didn't idolize him".
Yes, Bobby Clow was one of a kind, a true character, a true citizen of his community and Canada. Passed from this life much too soon, the world needs more Bobby Clows.
We wish the best for his family and thank them for sharing Bobby with us.
Status of Women
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Yesterday, the provincial and territorial status of women ministers met to prepare an action plan to convince the federal minister that she needs to reverse her decision to slash the budget of Status of Women Canada, because the cuts will have a dramatic impact on women.
During the last election campaign, the Prime Minister proclaimed, "If elected, I will take concrete and immediate measures, as recommended by the United Nations, to ensure that Canada fully upholds its commitments to women in Canada".
Women's groups were hopeful, but the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Status of Women has eliminated or modified programs that are crucial to meeting that goal, changing funding criteria, prohibiting advocacy activity, cutting 43% of the budget of Status of Women Canada, closing 12 of its 16 offices, abolishing the court challenges program and refusing to adopt improved pay equity legislation.
We must denounce this backward step and demand that the minister reconsider her decision, which is undermining women's equality and rights.
Minority Francophone Communities
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Raymond Simard Saint Boniface, MB
When he was the leader of the official opposition, the Prime Minister signed a solemn commitment that read in part as follows:
—I acknowledge that linguistic duality is one of the foundations of Canadian society and that the official language communities, and more particularly, the francophone and Acadian communities, are one of the pillars of this duality and consequently of Canada. By doing so, I agree to take every means necessary for the Government of Canada to promote their continued development.
When he became Prime Minister, he quickly set to work, and minority communities have been suffering ever since: $5 million in cuts to status of women; $6 million in cuts to the court challenges program; $18 million in cuts to literacy programs; and closure of nine centres in Manitoba.
On Tuesday, at the Standing Committee on Official Languages, we learned that another program was threatened.
The Réseau Santé en français, which is extremely successful, is very concerned that its funding will not be renewed for 2007-08.
The Prime Minister must reverse this decision and finally honour his solemn commitment to minority francophone communities.
Oil Sands
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB
Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Liberals finally unleashed their winning platform for Alberta. They want to shut down the oil sands.
Yes, yesterday the Liberal natural resources critic, the member for Ajax—Pickering, said that his party would intrude on provincial jurisdiction and bring 10% of Canada's GDP to a crashing thud.
I understand that the Liberals do not care much about the west and will always pit regional interests against each other instead of building a united country, so why do I not put this in terms that the member might actually understand?
Sixteen per cent of oil sands related jobs are in Ontario. By 2004, the oil sands resulted in activity worth $102 billion for Ontario. That is energy, manufacturing, service and investment wealth, all based upon the oil sands.
Is he telling companies and workers in his own riding that because his leader does not have a plan to balance energy production with environmental responsibility they should lose their jobs?
That is not a real plan for Canada's energy sector or its environment.
The Liberals had their chance and they did not get it done.
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Michael Ignatieff Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians take pride today that Sheila Watt-Cloutier, past president of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference, has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in waking up the world to global climate change.
While she was sounding the alarm, the Prime Minister was actually raising money to fight Kyoto. In a speech at a fundraising dinner in 2002, he said: "As economic policy the Kyoto accord is a disaster. As environmental policy it is a fraud".
Will the Conservatives now admit that they were irresponsible in their efforts to undermine Kyoto and the world international consensus on climate change?
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, obviously this is an issue that the former government tried to tackle and it did it in an unsuccessful way.
We are very pleased to see that action is being taken. Maybe it might be worthwhile to remind hon. colleagues in this House that "We didn't get it done", said the hon. member a couple of months ago.
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Michael Ignatieff Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is the government's job to get it done now. It has no plan to get it done.
This Prime Minister hosted a fundraiser against Kyoto during which he talked about the "so-called greenhouse gas phenomenon" and described it as simply a hypothesis.
After years of opposing Kyoto and Canada's participation in this international effort, what is this government's current position on Canada's participation in the Kyoto process?
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:15 a.m.
Lawrence Cannon Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, my hon. colleague just said a number of things, and one is that we are doing nothing. Well, nothing is when something has not been done. I think we could very well look at the inaction of the opposition.
In the past month we have invested over $2 billion in various initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases. As far as the issue of climate change is concerned, this is a real file and we intend to address it and get things done.
The Environment
Oral Questions
11:20 a.m.
Michael Ignatieff Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, the scientists gathered in Paris all agree that climate change is caused by human activity, but the new Minister of the Environment said in Paris that he was surprised that warming is the result of human activity.
If he is surprised, will the minister be surprised when all the world's scientists mock him for maintaining this ridiculous position?

Azure, Microsoft's cloud infrastructure for Windows developers and Web programmers, is a little more than a year old--and a lot has already changed since the platform's early days. It can be easy to get lost in the many different uses of the terms "Azure" and "fabric," not to mention PaaS and IaaS, but a more standardized taxonomy and nomenclature are making things more clear.
This report aligns Azure with popular enterprise architecture models in order to provide a sense of Azure's scope and value for enterprise IT.

h3. A TMPFAIL Response
A TMPFAIL, (which may also be 0x86 or 134 in particular circumstances) is returned by a Couchbase Server to indicate to the client application that the request couldn't be serviced at this time, but retrying the request at a later date will be successful. Application code do whatever is appropriate in this context. For example, doing a regular backoff/retry until some deadline.
This can arise in a few different situations.
First, this response may be received in response to running out of memory quota for a given bucket. This is frequently in response to heavier than expected or planned for load.
Second, it may be in response to a flush command issued either through the console or the application. During the flush, all operations will be responded to with a TMPFAIL. After the flush completes there should be no more TMPFAILs returned, but as of this writing version 2.0.0 server does return TMPFAIL longer than expected owing to MB-6232/MB-7160.
Third, it may be in response to a bucket being in warmup/pending. This can happen if, for instance, the Couchbase service is restarted on the OS.
In general, whenever appropriate an application should check for and provide error handling for when a TMPFAIL may occur. It is also highly recommended that application developers load/stress test their software to ensure this situation is handled appropriately if workload cannot be predicted. This is one of the primary ways unexpectedly high "pressure" from requests will be handled and it's a difference in Couchbase versus other systems. Couchbase is always fast by design, and gives the application, which has more context about what is appropriate in a particular situation, the ability to react well on behalf of the user rather than just slow down.

The now well-traveled Lydia Loveless returns to headline The Bluestone before working on her next batch of whip-smart bloodlettings this winter. Native son Tim Easton rolls back in to show off his ever-reliable roots rock chops. Massillon blues-rock favorite Patrick Sweany will be in the house too, as will Mooncussers, the alt-country power led by Loveless' guitarist, Todd May.

More than 800 youth volunteers representing approximately 40 nations and over 25 different Colombian states gathered together at the 2nd Annual World Summit for Youth Volunteerism to share stories about how they are changing the world. Partners of the Americas, the International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE), and Universidad del Norte, with a multitude of supporters, including the U.S. Embassy in Bogota, hosted the 2nd Annual World Summit for Youth Volunteerism Summit in Barranquilla, Colombia. In the midst of a sea of inspiring young people, I experienced how the world is changing through the voices and actions of youth around the world.
The Summit's theme of "You Make it Happen!" truly represents what these motivated youth leaders are accomplishing right now. To quote CEO of Partners of the Americas Steve Vetter, "Youth are not the future but the present!" And there were 800 examples of this statement surrounding me at the summit. These youth volunteers are affecting the world around them now, not waiting for the future, not waiting to become more "grown up" -- but bringing about positive changes in their own communities and beyond.
Take for example a most impressive 19 year old: Ms. Nathaly Rivera. Nathaly is a former Youth Ambassador and the co-founder of Youth Colombian Leaders, an organization that promotes volunteerism nationwide and brings together youth participants, such as Youth Ambassador Alumni, to implement volunteer programs throughout Colombia. Nathaly is also deeply involved with Partners of the Americas, and especially the program "A Ganar," which promotes civic values through sports. On November 4, Nathaly led the plenary session of the summit and fielded questions from the audience, sharing with her peers how to inspire and organize youth volunteerism.
Nathaly is one of 12 youth summit participants sponsored by the U.S. Embassy. The embassy's group of youth leaders, made up of Fulbright Scholars, International Visitor Leadership Program participants, Martin Luther King Fellows, and Youth Ambassador alumni, led plenary sessions and breakout panels at the summit. They discussed everything from the main theme of youth volunteerism, to human rights promotion, young Colombian leaders, and the teaching of Afro-Colombian history. The Peace Corps contingent was out in full force too, leading a panel on how to promote youth leadership.
The 2nd Annual World Summit for Youth Volunteerism gave young people around the world the spotlight and the time to shine and truly demonstrate their power to enact change. I can't wait to see what more they do because they really are "Making it Happen!" Find out more on Facebook.

Alceste: tragedie opera en trois actes
Date: 1776
Creator: Gluck, Christoph Willibald, Ritter von, 1714-1787; Calzabigi, Ranieri de, 1714-1795 & Du Roullet, François Louis Gaud Lebland, marquis, 1716-1786
Description: According to Grove Music, "when Admetus, King of Pherae in Thessaly, is ill and about to die an oracle announces that he will be saved if someone else is willing to die in his stead. His wife Alcestis displays her conjugal devotion by offering herself; she dies and Admetus recovers. Under the influence of tragédie lyrique, Calzabigi enriched his libretto with choruses, ballets and opportunities for impressive scenery."

Plain and easy introduction to practical music
Date: 1771
Creator: Morley, Thomas, 1557-1603?
Description: In 1597, while Morley was negotiating for the patent, he wrote his musical treatise, A Plaine and Easie Introduction to Practicall Musicke. Although his preface contains the statement that he had "nothing better to do," Morley probably knew publishing a treatise on the science of music would boost public interest in purchasing musical works. In addition, by publishing such a work, the English audience would view Morley as an authority in music (and he would become more likely to obtain the patent) (Smith, "Print Culture and the Elizabethan Composer," 163). The work is practical, and is organized into three sections: teaching to sing simple song, teaching to sing two parts over a plainsong or ground, and teaching counterpoint.

Echo et Narcisse, drame lyrique en trois actes
Date: 1779
Creator: Gluck, Christoph Willibald, Ritter von, 1714-1787 & Tschudi, Jean-Baptiste-Louis-Théodore, baron de, 1734-1784
Description: After the resounding success of Iphigénie en Tauride (1779), Gluck set out to compose his last of the seven Paris operas, which turned out to be his final opera. Whereas Iphigénie en Tauride is often considered Gluck's best opera, its immediate successor, Echo et Narcisse (1779) was ill-fated and quickly disappeared from the repertoire. Echo was premiered a mere four months after Tauride, and the Parisian audience was not prepared for the differences between these two operas. Although the music resembles that of his other French operas, the pastoral story lacks the dramatic intensity that viewers expected in a Gluck opera. Thus, the serene music—though it is at times quite beautiful— lacks dramatic impulse.

Date: 1778?
Creator: Despréaux, Jean Étienne, 1748-1820.
Description: This is a ca. 1778 libretto for the burlesque opera in three acts "Momie" by a Jean Étiennethat Despréaux. The opera is a parody based on Leblanc du Roullet's libretto of "Iphigénie en Aulide," an opera by Christoph Willibald Gluck. The libretto includes the titles of the tunes at the opening of each scene. Page 6 of the library's copy is incorrectly numbered as page 9.

Date: 1774
Creator: Schweitzer, Anton, 1735-1787.
Description: This is a ca. 1774 score of the opera "Alceste" by Anton Schweitzer based on a libretto by Christoph Wieland. The work premiered in Weimar in 1773. The plot was based on the Greek legend of Alcestis, on the subject of female virtue and conjugal love. The library's copy contains an engraved illustration that portrays a domestic scene. The score does not indicate the musical instruments and the music, which is notated in two, three or four staves, contains the German text underlaid with indication of the character who sings.

Storia della musica
Date: 1770
Creator: Martini, Giovanni Battista, 1706-1784.
Description: This is a copy of the second of three volumes of "Storia della musica" (Music History) by Giovanni Batista Martini. Each volume bears a different dedicatee: v.1: alla Sacra reale cattolica Maestà Maria Barbara; v.2: All'Altezza serenissima elettorale di Carlo Teodoro; v.3: a sua Altezza reale Don Ferdinando di Borbone. The t.p. of this volume is printed in red and black ink and decorated with a border that depicts various musical instruments. It also features an illustration of a minotaur and a young boy (presumably, the god Apollo) holding a lyre. This volume is divided in nine chapters and three dissertations. The start of each chapter and each dissertation features, within an ornamented oval-shaped frame, the notated music of a canon in a five-line staff with underlaid text taken from works by Hesiod, Homer, Anacreon, and Sophocles. The book contains maps of Greece and Asia Minor, as well as a table that summarizes the divisions of the breve and prolations translated to 18th century musical notation practice.

Description: This is the 1773 edition of the libretto to the comic opera and vaudeville, "Pigmalion" by Charles-François Panard and Thomas Laffichard.

There's just one problem: Neither one of them knows where they're going. How do you pack when you don't know your destination? To be prepared, Robert and Alan must pack for extremes. Parkas are packed alongside flip-flops, heavy sweaters and sunglasses. Food Network Magazine photos: Mark Peterson http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/0/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-002_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Mission Prep Robert's hard at work long before the mission starts. Prior to his departure, he polishes his shoes to a military shine. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/3/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-003_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg The Night Before the Mission The guessing game begins as Robert gets picked up just before 4am. It's pitch-black, but Robert is pumped: "Didn't sleep at all last night!" http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-004_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Robert Mentally Prepares This is Robert's 65th mission so he no longer searches for clues to the challenge at each location; instead he waits for his producers to reveal the challenge. Upon arrival at the secret location, he spends the day doing his normal routine. He eats lunch, works out in the hotel gym, grabs an early dinner and then performs an unlikely ritual: He irons all of his clothes. "That's when the whole thing becomes real for me," he says. The ironing stems from his time in the military (he was a cook in the British Royal Navy for 10 years). So does his sleep schedule. At most, Robert sleeps about three hours before a mission: "Tomorrow morning I'll be up and sort of itching to get on with it." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-005_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Another Day in Paradise? Robert lands in Key West, Fla., but just because he's arrived in paradise doesn't mean he's on vacation. Marc Summers, Dinner: Impossible's executive producer, asks Robert if anyone told him to pack shorts. Robert says no. "You won't want to wear long pants for this," Marc says. "It's gonna be brutal." http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/0/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-007_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Mission Day 6:02am: A producer briefs Robert on the first shot — without revealing what he'll be doing. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-006_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg All hands on deck 7am: Executive producer Marc Summers surveys the opening setup. There's no one moment when everything is revealed to Robert — he gets his information in pieces. By 7am, he knows his mission involves pirates, but he doesn't know for how many people he'll be cooking, where he'll be serving, or where he'll get the food. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-009_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Orders from an Old Seadog 7:45am: Robert gets his mission from a "professional pirate," Captain Stitch (with Honeybell the parrot). http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/0/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-008_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Orders from the Cap'n He learns he'll have eight hours to shop and cook a feast for 150 pirates, and that he has to include seafaring dishes like turtle, bone soup and something made with scurvy-preventing citrus. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-010_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Pirate-Worthy Prep 8:47am: With only eight hours to complete the mission, Robert races to come up with a pirate-themed menu based on the guidelines. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-011_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Shiver Me Timbers, There's a Pirate in the Produce Aisle! 9:31am: The chef and his crew invade a local supermarket (during business hours!). Other shoppers — who clearly weren't expecting their Monday-morning grocery run to be ambushed by Dinner: Impossible — whip out camera phones. "This is my favorite show," one customer says, framing a shot on his iPhone. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-012_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg The Grand Total Robert went a little over budget with this challenge (producers had budgeted about $3,000 for this mission.) "I pick up a lot of things along the way," he says. "I might drop something or ruin something. If that happens, we need another menu item on the fly." After the 45-minute supermarket sweep, the food — including two crates of lobsters, several pounds of fresh turtle meat and a whole pig — is piled into two vans. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-013_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Makeshift Kitchen 1:22pm: The pirates will enjoy their meal at a state park chosen by producers for the postcard-perfect view. The park isn't set up for cooking, though; the chef and his team need to build a bonfire in order to get everything prepared on time. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/0/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-015_s3x4.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg The Final Hour 3:16pm: Robert's focus is even more intense during the mission's final hour. He doesn't work alone, though. He is assisted by George and David, his regular sous chefs, and a few local pirates: Leatherback, Scarlett and Deadeye. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2010/3/3/2/FNM_040110-Robert-Irvine-014_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Mission: Accomplished 4:10pm: Finished!

The U.S. Olympic Committee Sports Medicine staff depends on volunteer medical providers to help provide services to TeamUSA's elite athletes. The USOC operates three sports medicine clinics at each of the U.S. Olympic Training Centers, located in Colorado Springs, Colo., Chula Vista, Calif., and Lake Placid, N.Y. Volunteers are heath care providers who have a minimum of three years of experience, including athletic trainers, chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists and physicians.
Through the program, full-time USOC staff members work with with volunteers to provide integrative, collaborative, multi-disciplinary care to the athletes. These services support U.S. Olympian and Paralympians in achieving sustained competitive excellence. Although the clinics treat many orthopedic problems, there are an equal number of general health concerns and volunteers should be prepared to handle a variety of situations.
For active-duty military physicians:
The USOC and U.S. Olympic Training Centers are non-federal, nonprofit corporations. Please be aware that fee-exempt federal DEA licenses are not portable for non-official non-federal use. A personally held DEA license should be used for any prescriptions written. Additionally, discuss with your local command regarding the appropriate duty status: typically permissive TDY vs. leave.

May 11, 2009 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Invitation for FY 2010 Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) Program
SUBJECT 2: WIC Children Not Enrolled in the State Children's Health Insurance Program
SUBJECT 3: MOWINS Checks
SUBJECT 4: MOWINS Equipment- Particularly Signature Pads
SUBJECT 5: MOWINS Appointment Scheduling Calendar
SUBJECT 6: Risk Factors Issues in MOWINS
SUBJECT 7: Extra Formula
SUBJECT 8: New State WIC Employee- Help Desk
SUBJECT 9: State WIC Staff Pictorial Directory
- Invitation for FY 2010 Breastfeeding Peer Counseling (BFPC) Program: If your agency is interested in participating in the FFY 2010 BFPC program, please see the attached letter and application form. The completed application and BFPC agency plan needs to be submitted to Kathy Mertzlufft by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by fax at 573-526-1470 by June 5, 2009. If you have any questions, please contact her at 573-526-4792.
- WIC Children Not Enrolled in the State Children's Health Insurance Program:
In December the Department of Social Services at the request of Governor Nixon matched children enrolled in the WIC program with those enrolled in Mo HealthNet and the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The data run showed 24,000 children enrolled in WIC that were eligible for SCHIP, but not enrolled. One of the Governor's priorities is addressing uninsured Missourians.
The Department of Social Services (DSS) has provided us with the list of these children. We have sorted this listing by agency and posted it to Crystal Reports for your use. Click on WIC Reports Local Agency and then on the folder called SCHIP Reports – On WIC - Not on SCHIP. The information is in Excel. Go to your agency number and you will see the first name, last name, middle initial and DCN for each child. Please do not print the entire report as it is very large. You can copy and paste your agency's names into a separate excel document.
The directors of the Department of Social Services and Health and Senior Services are asking that WIC agencies make a point of talking with these children/families at their next visit about Mo HealthNet and SCHIP and refer them to their local DSS office to enroll. We realize that some of these children/families may no longer be receiving WIC services, but many will still be active in WIC. We ask that you do your best to make these referrals. If you have any questions, please contact your TA team.
- MOWINS Checks: We want to remind local agency staff of the importance of looking at the WIC checks before they are given to the participant. Recently checks have come back from WIC banking in which the overlay was not showing on the check. Without the overlay, the check will be missing many key pieces of information/statements that show that it is a bone fide WIC check. This information includes: the WIC logo, "Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services", "United Community Bank, Marietta, GA" and "Any Authorized Missouri WIC Vendor Only". Also, we are receiving calls from grocery stores about these checks, because the store staff is questioning whether the checks are valid. This slows the process for participants when they go to the store and risks the participant being denied use of the check. Checks without the overlay must not be given to the participant. If this occurs, it means the printer will need to have the overlay reinstalled. Contact the ITSD Help Desk at 800-347-0887 for assistance. If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- MOWINS Equipment- Particularly Signature Pads: Overall, we should enough computer equipment for all agencies as they roll out on MOWINS. There is one item that is currently running short: signature pads. Due to the close out of the state financial year, we cannot order computer equipment until July. From now on, when local agencies request signature pads, we may need to send less than the number they ask for until we have more signature pads. There are 18 signature pads that will be available from the MOWINS training sets once the roll out training concludes in July. If any agencies have signature pads that they do not need, please let Mark Davis know so they can be redistributed to other agencies. If we still need more signature pads, we will order them in July. If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- MOWINS Appointment Scheduling Calendar: We are still having problems with information in the MOWINS appointment scheduling calendar sometimes disappearing. Because of this, local agencies are not required to use the calendar until it is fixed. The fix for this problem is in release 1.38, which is scheduled to be sent to us on May 8. Once testing is complete, we will implement it in production. We will let you know when it will be in production, ready for you to use. If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- Risk Factors Issues in MOWINS: We appreciate all the information provided by LWPs regarding risk factor assignment issues. We are diligently working to test the issues and determine where errors may lie - whether the system assigns the risk factor incorrectly, or the system may not allow manual assignment of the risk factor. Following are the risk factors LWPs have provided to us for testing thus far: 111, 113, 121, 131, 135, 151, 201, 425, 501 and 502.
Risk factors that show in the list as those that can be selected but should not be used are: 152, 300, 336, 337, 340, 382, 800, 901 and 903; Risk Factor 428 should only be used for infants 4-12 months and children 12-23 months; Risk Factor 902 should only be used for infants and children, not women. Risk Factor 332 should show in the list as only available for women (P, B, and N).
Some of the nutrition education topics are listed more than once in the selection list and this will be fixed.
Please continue to provide comments regarding risk factor issues, along with state WIC ID numbers, to your District/TA Nutritionist. State WIC ID numbers and screen shots are especially helpful in testing and determining errors. The information will be forwarded to the appropriate person for review and testing. Thank you for your continued support and help.
- Extra Formula: Attached is a current listing of extra formula available at different LWPs and guiding principles for shipping created to assist you when sending or receiving extra supplies of infant formula. Please check the listing in order to utilize formulas with the most recent expiration date first, prior to placing an order, to help keep food costs down. Also be sure to notify your district nutritionist or Michelle Nienhuis at firstname.lastname@example.com when you have unused formula available at your agency so it may be added to the database. If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Nienhuis at 1-800-392-8209.
- New State WIC Employee - Help Desk: We have hired a new employee to answer Help Desk calls. Mike Bonnett will work as an Information Support Coordinator (ISC) in the Customer Service Unit, staffing the MOWINS Help Desk and doing MOWINS training and testing. Mike has a B.S. in business administration from Central Missouri State University and has over five years experience at OMD Corporation as a software application support analyst, doing many of the same duties as he will do for WIC. Mike will soon start answering calls on the Help Desk. Please welcome Mike to WIC!
If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- State WIC Staff Pictorial Directory: In the past few months several new staff has joined the State WIC office. These new staff include: Mike Bonnett - works the help desk for Customer Service; Julie Robinett – office manager for WIC and Nutrition Services; Nancy Keim – nutritionist in the SE district office; Leslie Worrell - support for Operations and microcuvette manager. The following staff has left the State WIC office for job promotions and new opportunities: Barbara Myers and Elizabeth Weyrauch. Nancy Russell will be retiring June 30, 2009.The State WIC office has updated its pictorial directory of State agency staff. Each staff person in the State office is pictured with their title, a brief description of their area of responsibility and telephone number. Since we do not always have the opportunity to meet each other face to face, we hope this will help you put a name to a face when you call our office. If you have any questions, please contact Julie Robinett at firstname.lastname@example.com.
