Loading Tree...
Technical Resources
This shaded polygon map shows the amount of forest land converted to developed land between 1982 and 1997 within each 8-digit hydrologic unit. The acres converted are presented in five categories based on the following divisions: 20,000 or more acres, 5,000 to 20,000 acres, 2,000 ro 5,000 acres, and less than 2,000 acres. A total of 10.3 million acres were converted. Developed land includes urban and built-up areas and rural transportation land. Metropolitan Statistical Areas are indicated by black squares. Areas with 95% or more Federal area are shaded gray.
Cautions for this Product:
This map does not show the total amount of forest land or developed land. Data are not collected on Federal land. Data are not available for Alaska or the Pacific Basin. Data for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are shown by 6-digit hydrologic unit.
Source: National Resources Inventory, 1997
Distributor: USDA-NRCS-RIAD
NRI sample data are generally reliable at the 95% confidence interval for state and certain broad substate area analyses. Generally, analyses that aggregate data points by smaller geographic areas and/or more specific criteria result in fewer data points for each aggregation and therefore less reliable estimates. NRI maps reflect national patterns rather than site- specific information.
Aggregate Layer: 8 Digit Hydrologic Unit Areas with Federal Land
Other Layers Displayed: Rivers, States, Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) Lat/Long selec from GNIS
Developed land:
A combination of land cover/use categories, Urban and built-up areas, and Rural Transportation Land.
Federal land:
A land ownership class designating land that is owned by the Federal Government. It does not include, for example, trust lands administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs nor Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) land. No data are collected for any year that land is in this ownership. [NRI-97]
Forest land:
A Land Cover/Use that is at least 10 percent stocked by single stemmed forest trees of any size which will be at least 4 meters (13 feet) tall at maturity. When viewed vertically, canopy cover is 25 percent or greater. Also included are areas bearing evidence of natural regeneration of tree cover (cutover forest or abandoned farmland) and not currently developed for nonforest use. For classification as forest land, an area must be at least one acre and 100 feet wide. [NRI-97]
Hydrologic units:
A hierarchical system developed by the U.S. Geological Survey that divides the United States and the Caribbean into 21 major regions, 222 subregions, 352 accounting units, and further subdivided into 2,150 cataloging units that delineate river basins having drainage areas usually greater than 700 square miles. [USGS]
Rural transportation land:
A Land Cover/Use category which consists of all highways, roads, railroads and associated rights- of-way outside urban and built-up areas; including private roads to farmsteads or ranch headquarters, logging roads, and other private roads, except field lanes. [NRI-97]
Urban and built-up areas:
A Land Cover/Use category consisting of residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional land; construction sites; public administrative sites; railroad yards; cemeteries; airports; golf courses; sanitary landfills; sewage treatment plants; water control structures and spillways; other land used for such purposes; small parks (less than 10 acres) within urban and built-up areas; and highways, railroads, and other transportation facilities if they are surrounded by urban areas. Also included are tracts of less than 10 acres that do not meet the above definition but are completely surrounded by Urban and Built-up land. Two size categories are recognized in the NRI: (i) areas 0.25 to 10 acres, and (ii) areas greater than 10 acres. [NRI-97]

Minot Home Show
Before Saturday's home show, The Minot High School-Magic City Campus Majettes Varsity Dance Team lined up, flowers in hand, to thank their parents and the male bus driver who puts up with 25 teenage girls serenading passing cars on bus trips.
Parents invest a lot of money and girls invest a lot of time into their passion for dance, the young dancers said.
Hannah Nelson of Minot, who performed with The Dance Company of Minot, said she spends 8 1/2 hours a week rehearsing dance routines. Nelson loves dance because it is a different sport from those that other members of her family participate in and she exercises every muscle in her body.
Other girls from The Dance Company said they also love dance, which is a huge part of their lives.
The Home Show, held in the Minot State University Dome, gave girls from across the region an opportunity to show off routines they've been practicing during the dance season and have competed with at competitions.
The youngest performers were from Brick Studio in Minot. The young girls danced a jazz routine to the song "Real Wild Child," using a desk and a chalkboard as backdrop. The announcer explained that it was supposed to be the last day of school.
Teens performed routines with poms, dances that include high kicks and hip hop routines.
Dance teams included the "Minot High Varsity team; the Minot Majettes Junior Varsity team; the Minot MagiKix middle school dance team; the Garrison Galactix; the Brick Studio Competition Dancers; the Underwood Comettes; The Dance Company and Studio X, also of Minot.
The home show is a fundraiser for the Minot High dance program.

4 to 8 inches of snow possible
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
IRON MOUNTAIN – Wintry weather is forecasted for tonight and wet snow is expected Thursday and Friday, the National Weather Service announced.
Up to 4 to 8 inches of snow is possible in the Dickinson County area.
National Weather Service bureaus in Green Bay and Marquette have issued a hazardous weather outlook in Wisconsin and a special weather statement in the Upper Peninsula.
The National Weather Service in Green Bay issued a hazardous weather outlook for north central and northeast Wisconsin, including Florence and northern Marinette counties.
Wintry weather is expected over Wisconsin tonight. Officials said some ice accumulations are possible across the region.
The Green Bay area saw a ground covering of snow overnight. Hazardous driving conditions are expected again tonight.
The wintry weather will continue over Wisconsin Thursday and Friday. Accumulating snow is likely especially across northern Wisconsin Thursday and Thursday night.
Runoff from snow melt and widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches with locally higher amounts near 3 inches will cause some rivers to rise to above flood stage in central and east central Wisconsin this week, officials said.
A flood watch remains in affect for central Wisconsin through Thursday.
Due to heavy, wet snow expected Thursday into Friday night, the National Weather Service in Marquette has issued a special weather statement for the U.P., including Dickinson and Iron Counties.
Officials said a late season winter storm developing over the mid-Mississippi Valley could bring wet heavy snow to much of the west and central Upper Peninsula Thursday into Friday night as it tracks toward the Great Lakes.
Snow should begin late tonight over the south central U.P., and then will spread north and east across the rest of the U.P. on Thursday.
Some sleet could mix in with the snow over the south central U.P. late tonight into Thursday.
Weather officials said snow is expected to become heavy at times late Thursday into Friday
before tapering off late Friday night and early Saturday.
Total snowfall accumulation of 4 to 8 inches is possible across much of west and central U.P. with up to 10 inches possible over the higher terrain of western Marquette and Baraga counties.
Officials warn that the snow will be very wet and heavy, and that shoveling and snow plowing will be difficult. This mix will also make for slippery roads and hazardous travel conditions Thursday into Friday night, officials said.

Get your pirate kit here!
They are only estimates, if im honest ive not a clue until I ring them.
Barley I much preferred the LG kit. Do you know what material they'll use though? I love the old-style down-stripes version rather than the 'dotty' material they used on the second order.
I could do with a Monaco.
Tri suit £55 (skinsuit)BarleyMonaco £40NamShorts £35MeldsGirls tank £40Cycle TopCycle JacketGilletGirls Crop Top
Nam - I know what you mean, I doubtt they'll go backwards - if you get my drift?
Pirate Kit offer/needing Lending Thread
Mouse. wrote (see)
Kanga, yes there is a way of providing a fairly simple way of collecting the order information. The psof forum allows you to set up and have a poll. This allows people to "vote" for different options and you can allow each person as many "votes" as you like. That person oncethey have voted can also change thier votes.
So if each option was a piece of kit, someone could "vote" for the bits of kit they want. If they change thier mind they can change this when ever they want. This would immediatly give the numbers of each bit of kit.
However, for someone to easily find out who wanted which bit of kit, rather than simply quantly of each will require some changes to the code. This can be done (there are variouse changes already published) but it will probably be a few days before I could do this.
If there are not too many types/sizes of kit each option could include the size. i.e.
Tri Shorts (S)Tri Shorts (M)Tri Shorts (L)Tri Shorts(XL)
e.t.c. but this might make the poll rather long... The alternative would be to work out the sizes later.
Don't know if this would help?

Prenatal Water Workouts
If you are searching for a safe, low-impact exercise program you can follow all nine months, you might try heading to your local swimming pool. Swimming, water jogging, and aqua aerobics are some of the best exercises to perform while pregnant, and many gyms and pools now offer a variety of classes such as basic aerobics, water boxing, and aqua step.
Exercising in water is ideal for pregnant women because the water's buoyancy requires you to support only 50 percent of your body weight, it reduces the risk of stress-related injuries, and the compression of the water is soothing on joints and muscles that are stressed by the added bulk of your pregnancy. The water's temperature also keeps you from overheating during your workout.
You don't need to be able to swim to participate in water workouts - many moves are performed in waist or chest-high water, and you don't even need to join a special organized class; simply swimming laps, or walking, jogging, or running in water will strengthen your core trunk muscles, legs and hips, and increase your cardio-respiratory fitness. While water workouts don't require any special equipment, there are flippers, foam tubes, webbed gloves, and water weights available that can enhance the moves.
Water workouts generally fall into two categories: aqua aerobics and aqua exercise. Aqua aerobics has most of the fat-burning and endurance-building qualities of land-based aerobics, without the high-impact pounding that can be dangerous while pregnant. Aqua exercise focuses on improving muscle tone, strength and mobility. Water naturally lends itself to strength training, as it provides resistance in all directions, as opposed to land exercises which can be limited by gravity. If you aren't sure which type of class is right for you, ask your gym or community pool if you can watch a class first.
For a great 30-minute workout, alternate aerobic activity with strengthening moves. Warm up for five minutes or so by swimming a few laps or walking back and forth across the pool. Then alternate high-intensity walking or jogging with low-intensity recovery periods. The length of each interval will depend on your fitness level - start with 15 seconds and see how you feel. Repeat this high-low interval for 3 minutes, then perform one of the following strengthening moves. Follow this with another aerobic set and then another strengthening move, continuing this way for 30 minutes. Cool down for five minutes by swimming some laps or walking around the pool, and be sure to do some gentle stretching.

A Crohn's Book Club
I was thinking that we should start a book club. I read a lot because of many reasons, one of which is that I have a lot of potty time available for my reading pleasure. The other, is that I just love to read. Or rather, I love to get lost in a story and forget my troubles and worries just for a little while. I love it when I get so excited about a book, that I can't stop thinking about it and can't wait to get home to read it. The last time that happened to me was when I read the Twilight series. I could not put those books down. I have read many authors across the spectrum of different genres and will read just about anything, except lately anything violent or dark. I feel that there is enough bad in the world already and I would rather read something pleasant to take me away from the bad. So, I no longer read the Dean Koontz books, which were really good but some of them I think were too good. They really did scare me and even now I still think about his book "The Taking", which was so vivid and eerie.
I am not sure how we should do our book club, but I was thinking that one day per month I could write about the book that I finished in that month and then you can write in with what book you finished that month. We could write a short synopsis on what the book is about, whether it was a good read (maybe we could make a scale 1-10, 1 being the worst and 10 the best), and what you liked best about it. This way, each month, we will all have a new list of books to read and if the same book is written about several times on the blog it won't matter since we all have our own opinions on how the book was and why we liked it
What do you think? If you like this idea, I propose that we hold the book club at the beginning of each month. Or, maybe you have a better idea on how we should hold a book club. Or, maybe you have a better idea altogether. I think that it would be nice to discuss something besides our Crohn's disease every now and then.
Let me know what your thoughts are!

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by DFA Good Bag I purchased this bag to hold the players training soccer balls. The bag does it's job. hold exactly 12 soccer balls which is plenty. I only carry 10 so that I can fit the penies and cones in the bag as well. I live in the north and I've used this bag in the rain, high winds, sleet and snow. The design allows for the water to escape through the bottom which allows the bag to dry out in a matter of hours along with the equipment. Does exactly what I need it to. December 9, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by AllThingsSoccer price is too high It's ok I guess, I just think it should be $25 at most. I just used it for 3 practices. My other bag has two holes after one season. I figured I would try something different. I have no complaints about this product at the moment and hope I won't have any in the near future. I will say that the handle is good for carrying it across the parking lot and two fields. April 7, 2014

If anyone is interested, Bryan Singer announced that he will be directing the new "X-Men: First Class" film which I think is great news considering his first two X-Men films were great and then as soon as other directors stepped in for X3 and Wolverine the franchise went to shit.
Also, they are working on a new Predator movie called Predators and no it's not another Alien vs Predator movie, thank God. The cast already included Tohpher Grace and Adrian Broody but now there is word that Laurence Fishbourne, is in. I don't know about you but the prospect of Morpheus going up against a Predator sounds good to me. I'm not holding my breathe though since both AVP movies were terrible. The new game should be good though.
Finally, the Iron Man 2 and Alice in Wonderland trailers are up. Can't wait for the Iron Man follow up and Tim Burton's version of Alice with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter is going to be nuts.

Quality tool set
By Erin
from Canada
Comments about Learning Resources Pretend & Play® Work Belt Tool Set:
The toolbox has a good variety of tools. My 3 year old just got it for his birthday and plays with it daily. My only complaint is the tool belt doesn't snap closed so he can't wear it..which allow more pretend play. And the 'wooden' plank is a great idea, though I would have like to see it up on supports so the kids can put the screws in all the way.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Best Uses
This is the best tool kit out their for kids. I have 2 boys under 5yrs old. We bought other cheap tool kits that broke instantly or in a couple of days. I was hesitate to buy because they were so expensive but the quality is well worth it!!! We have had for 4 months and nothing has broke.***To other poster-the plank is to practice with the screws and bolts. My 4 yr old liked it once I showed him how to use it. My 2 yr old didn't care for it until he saw his brother use it.Don't waste your money buying several cheap ones, buy this one.MY ONE complaint is the tool belt wasn't made small enough but I have thin kids.

On the 4th of December 2013, The Human Trafficking Cycle: Survivors of Sinai Trafficking and Beyond was presented in the European Parliament with the participation of EU Commissioner Cecilia Malmström. The report was also presented in Tel Aviv, Cairo, Lampedusa, London and New York.
Since the beginning of 2009 thousands of refugees from the Horn of Africa have been abducted and held for ransom in the Sinai desert. They include men, women, children and infants fleeing from desperate circumstances in Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan. An estimated 95% are from Eritrea. Smuggled across borders by middlemen, or kidnapped from refugee camps and surrounding areas in Ethiopia and Sudan, they are held close to the Israeli border in inhumane conditions and tortured for ransom. Many refugees die - in captivity, after their release or simply disappear - killed by their captors, shot by border guards, or from simply being lost in the desert.

|Delusion vs Delirium: Confusional States in the Medically Ill Patient
Both critically ill and non-critically patients may present with altered mental status. This may include both delusions and hallucinations. When this occurs it is vital to distinguish between delirium and psychiatric causes, because the treatment and implications for the patient are very different.
Delirium results from an imbalance in certain neurotransmitters and is common in both ICU and non-ICU patients. It is also frequently missed or assigned a psychiatric etiology. This course presents the pathophysiology and implications of delirium along with an evidence based tool for rapid screening of the medically ill patient with delusions, delirium, or altered mental status.

And the winner is...
Last night, my boyfriend and I went through all the entries for my Name my Domain website contest. It was pretty difficult to pick a name that I felt would represent me, my image, and my future brand name. I wanted to keep my name in the title because people have been accustomed to it, but I also wanted to kick up my image a knotch to something more snazzy and fun.
After deliberations...and a lot of great suggestions....the winner is....
Phyllis at FortyIsTheNew20 !
She recommended the name http://www.urbanpretty.com/. Don't you love it! I love the contrast of the word and I definitely think it could create a great brand name in the future...possibly a cosmetics line even. My website will read Urban Pretty - Makeup By Ren. So as you see, I will be keeping my name in it...as an explanation of the company name. I'm pulling a Diddy and going from Ren Ren to just plain Ren, because that's how people in my non-blogging life refer to me. For some reason, I get a little embarassed in introducing myself as Ren Ren because it's more of a pet name my friends gave me.
So congratuations Phyllis! There were a lot of other contenders and thank you so much for helping me :)
Phyllis will be receiving a great bag of goodies provided by Stars Makeup Haven and myself, including: A mini Urban Decay Primer Potion, Two Faced Lip Injection Plumper, Two Faced Lip Injection gloss, two pairs of false eyelashes, a bag of empty pigment pans from pressing, Dior gloss, mascara, pigment samples, and more!
Thanks to everyone for participating! Phyllis I will be mailing out your goodies this week :)

Sports briefs
Our Redeemer's runs past Surrey
SURREY – Morgan Olson scored 26 points and Ashley Koppinger added 21 as the Our Redeemer's Christian School girls basketball team blitzed Surrey 84-51 on Tuesday in a District 12 matchup.
The Knights (13-4 overall, 6-1 district) jumped out to a 29-13 advantage after one quarter and led by 30 at halftime.
ORCS coach Kory Nelson said his squad was efficient in its scoring.
"We had to shoot well over 50 percent," he said. "We had nine 3-pointers tonight. Anytime they try to pack it inside, that just helps everybody out. We just wanted to make sure we were sharp and crisp with the district tournament coming up."
Jenny Skees joined Koppinger and Olson in double figures with 15 points and Emily VanLith scored nine.
The Mustangs (3-15, 1-6) were paced by Skylar Bertsch's 16 points.
ORCS hosts Velva on Feb. 19 and Surrey hosts Westhope-Newburg on Feb. 21.

PD 2009-05 Guideline 5 - Failure to Make Academic Progress
- Principles
- G1-Applying for Graduation
- G2-Restricting Enrollment Options
- G3-Declaring Majors
- G4ÐChanging Majors
- G5ÐFailure to Make Academic Progress
- G6ÐGraduate Students
- G7ÐAppeals of Decisions
- Appendix A - Classification and Prioritization of Students
- Appendix B - Summary of Super Seniors from Spring 2010
Students fail to make academic progress when they cannot complete required courses in a chosen major, or when they cannot pass the WST and cannot take any other courses required for their graduation. Sometimes, students cannot make academic progress when they cannot get into a required course that is full.
5.1 Failure to Pass a Required Course: A student who has earned above 90 units and who is unable to complete a major because of failure to earn a passing grade (as defined by the major) in a required course in the major will be allowed to repeat the course, consistent with continuing to make progress toward completing the degree, unless the major department does not allow it. Repeated failure to pass a required course may result in probation or disqualification from the major and/or administrative academic probation and disqualification from the university.
5.1.1 Some majors in professional and/or technical disciplines may place students who fail to earn a passing grade in a required course, or courses, on probation in the major, leading to disqualification from the major. The major advisor can provide details. A student who is disqualified from a major, but in good academic standing at SJSU, should contact AARS for assistance in finding a new major.
5.2 Failure to Pass the Writing Skills Test: A student who is unable to graduate because of failure to pass the Writing Skills Test (WST) must take necessary steps to improve writing competency to the level required to pass the WST. A student who cannot complete remaining courses required for his/her degree because of failure to pass the WST may be placed on administrative leave for one year. This will allow the student to take appropriate coursework at a community college (or other institution) to improve writing skills before taking the WST again. A student who has failed the WST may elect to take a special session course (either ENGL 96S or LLD 96S); passing this course with a "C" or better satisfies the WST. There are no petitions or waivers to excuse a student from satisfying the WST requirement. Failure to take necessary steps to bring writing competency up to WST passing standards can result in administrative academic probation and/or disqualification from the university.
5.3 A student who is unable to graduate because of inability to get into a required class that is full should notify the chair of the department in which the course is taught as soon as possible during the add period at the beginning of the semester. If the department chair cannot add the student into the course, or find a substitute course, the student should contact the Associate Dean in that college for additional assistance. to see whether an acceptable substitute can be arranged.

Before booking my first charter flight in 2001, I visited industry Web sites, drove to the airport to sit in some airplanes, got advice from a reputable broker and read through a pile of operators' brochures and guides. I felt as well prepared as any new customer could be.
Flying » Business Jet Charter
August 1, 2008
July 1, 2008
When you buy a seat on a commercial flight, the choice of airline can matter less than the departure and arrival times. But when you book a charter flight, picking the operator is the most important decision you can make. The wrong choice can cost you lots of time and money, or even create safety risks.
June 1, 2008
Many business jet charter operators these days are opting to focus on a single aircraft type. The Eclipse 500 has received much publicity because high-profile businesses, such as Boca Raton, Fla.-based DayJet and Concord, Mass.-based Linear Air, have recently launched air-taxi services with that model. But an increasing number of operators are now focusing on another aircraft: the Cirrus SR22.
April 1, 2008
If you fly often via business jet charter, you know that the peak travel days sprinkled throughout the calendar can mean a limited choice of aircraft as well as price increases. But a little planning can go a long way toward minimizing both drawbacks.
January 7, 2008
Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Travelocity and other Web sites have made booking airline flights online incredibly easy. By comparison, just finding legitimatebusiness jet charter Web sites can be tough. A recent Google search for "private jet charter," for example, listed 185,000 Web sites (in all of 0.22 seconds).
January 7, 2008
Tired of the hassles of commercial air travel-or perhaps of the responsibilities of owning an aircraft? Maybe it's time to play the jet card. Jet cards provide guaranteed access to flight time aboard private aircraft without the "deadhead" or repositioning fees associated with charter, and without the huge upfront investment or long-term commitment that go with jet ownership.
December 1, 2007
Recent developments signal significant changes in the aircraft charter industry-changes that could affect you if you're either a charter customer or an owner who makes his airplane available for charter.
December 1, 2007
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order suspending the trading of shares of online charter broker Connect- A-Jet from October 1 to 12 because of alleged "deceptive practices." Trading resumed after Connect-A-Jet filed Form 15c2-11 to reinstate the quoting of its stock with the SEC, but the commission won't comment on whether the firm remains under investigation.
December 1, 2007
Don't expect charter-flight Web sites to offer the kind of one-stop booking you get with the airlines on Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity. Nonetheless, many such sites now provide tools and data that make planning and arranging an air charter flight easy.
October 1, 2007
Simply put, air charter is the front door for all things at the business aircraft level in general aviation. It precedes fractional ownership. It stimulates full aircraft ownership. The jet card programs couldn't exist without it. And for the manufacturers it represents a free "demo" program for their products.
""My model for business is the Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other's kind of negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other, and the total was greater than the sum of the parts. That's how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team." "
-Steve Jobs

Fire spares South Fork but explodes to 41,000 acres
SOUTH FORK — The West Fork Fire spared homes and businesses in this town of roughly 400, running north and away from town Friday night and early Saturday.
"It's been really erratic," said Betsy Coffee, an information officer for the management team fighting the fire.
The fire ballooned to 41,579 acres as of Saturday morning.
Coffee said additional resources were expected in town on top of the 32 engines that were there Friday.
The blaze has forced the evacuation of the Blue Creek area near Wagon Wheel Gap, said Mineral County Public Information Officer Charles Downing.
But the town of Creede, which sits seven miles northwest of Blue Creek, and its immediate subdivisions were under no evacuation or pre-evacuation orders, he said Saturday morning.
Downing was cautious about what the rest of Saturday might hold.
"Today is a whole new day and this fire has a mind of its own," he said.
Increased resources are also going to the Papoose Fire, which is burning near Rio Grande Reservoir, more than 25 miles southwest of Creede.
The fire was at 11,000 acres as of Saturday morning, burning through thick stands of spruce beetle-killed trees.
The West Fork and a pair of fires northwest of Saguache were expected to throw heavy smoke on the north end of the San Luis Valley and on Chaffee and Fremont counties.

It is not all online
(I've posted this before, but it bears repeating).

I also only got this intro when clicking on "read full article". The online websites have some wonderful information, but they truly do only scratch the surface. I've had to contact county courthouses and repositories of vital records info. One place that I frequently use is US GenWeb, which lists people who volunteer to do legwork in various aspects of research; have often been helped there by wonderful people.ReplyDelete

Hey Guys! It's the time of the year again. Mid-year = mid-year sale or end of season sale. And one of the brands that will be having their annual sale is BAYO. The brand that had a very HUGE controversy recently because of all of the ads that they have released. Something that I wouldn't want to comment about because when I saw that ad – I didn't really get what message it was conveying. 😛 Anyway, bottom line is, it's still a Filipino brand and I would still encourage everyone to BUY FILIPINO!
So what are you waiting for? Go now to the nearest BAYO store and shop til you drop! Just kidding 😉

The Weekly Health Quiz: Runners' Knees, Hot Peppers and Better Eyesight
January 20, 2017
Whipworm infection is an infection of the large intestine with a type of roundworm.
Whipworm infection is caused by the roundworm, Trichuris trichiura. It is a common infection that mainly affects children.
Children may become infected if they swallow soil contaminated with whipworm eggs. When the eggs hatch inside the body, the whipworm sticks inside the wall of the large intestine.
Whipworm is found throughout the world, especially in countries with warm, humid climates. Some outbreaks have been traced to contaminated vegetables (believed to be due to soil contamination).
Symptoms range from mild to severe. Sometimes, there are no symptoms. A severe infection may cause:
Mebendazole taken by mouth for 3 days is commonly prescribed when the infection causes symptoms. Albendazole orIvermectin may sometimes be used.
Improved facilities for feces disposal have decreased the incidence of whipworm.
Always wash your hands before handling food. Thoroughly washing food may also help prevent this condition.

Traditional Toppings
October 20, 2004, 11:56:02 AM »
You have a very interesting site here.
I have seen recipes for pizza I have only ever heard of (Chicago), and for pizza I have NEVER heard of (New York, Cincinatti, Cleveland).
But right now I am interested in tradditional Italian regional toppings.
Does anyone know of a site(s) that lists such toppings?

I don't have any sites right off the top of my head, but I do know that one of the more traditional Italian pies is the simple one. Either a Margherita or a Neopolitan. Basically they are the same where they are dough, with a hearty sauce and fresh mozzarella slices placed on it and cooked at high temp for crispness.
Margherita is supposedly the first with basil spices added to the top, and neopolitan came later with cheeses from Naples and added garlic to the mix.
While some areas added meat sauce, others added vegetables to the mix, but the two mentioned above are actually the traditional pizzas of Italy to my knowledge.
I have not had the pleasure of visiting, and there may be others with more info to add or correct me. Sorry I couldn't give you more of what you wanted.

Gils and Darkstream,
When I went through my "authentic Neapolitan pizza phase", I found myself researching Naples pizza restaurant websites (usually in Italian) and looking at pizza menus to get an idea of the diversity of ingredients and toppings used on their pizzas. As you may know, the Verace Pizza Napoletana Association (VPN), the Italian "pizza-nazis", officially certified four Neapolitan pizzas:
· Marinara (Napoletana): Tomato, olive oil, oregano, and garlic.
· Margherita: Tomato, olive oil, grated Parmesan, and fior-di-latte or mozzarella.
· Ripieno (Calzone): Ricotta, fior-di-latte or mozzarella, olive oil, and salami.
· Formaggio e Pomodoro: Tomato, olive oil, and grated Parmesan
(Basil is also permitted on all of these pizzas, and variations are recognized if they are "informed by the Neapolitan tradition of pizzas and are not in contrast with the rules of gastronomy, with judgment reserved to the Association's committee".)
In May of this year, the Italian Ministry of Agricultural Politics in Italy proposed a new set of rules governing virtually all aspects of Neapolitan pizza production, from dough ingredients, to toppings, to processing and baking techniques. These rules were even more restrictive than those used by the VPN (but limited to Italy). The ministry's rules authorize the following pizzas:
Marinara (with garlic and oregano, tomatoes, and extra-virgin olive oil distributed in a spiral pattern starting from the center of the pizza), Margherita (with tomatoes, STG mozzarella cheese or fior di latte cheese from the southern Appennine mountains, fresh basil, and extra-virgin olive oil distributed in a spiral pattern), and Extra Margherita (with tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala from the Campania region, fresh basil, and extra-virgin olive oil distributed in a spiral pattern). (The rules also get quite specific as to tomatoes: "peeled and crushed tomatoes or fresh tomatoes grown in the Mt. Vesuvius area", which strongly suggests the San Marzano tomatoes).
Obviously, pizza restaurants can't survive on just three of four types of Neapolitan pizzas, but those that do make these basic pizzas will offer many other kinds of pizzas that are also classically Neapolitan style pizzas (like Quattro Formaggi and Quattro Stagioni, etc.). They will use common, locally available ingredients such as anchovies, arugula, artichokes, asparagus, zucchini, potatoes, prosciutto, ham, green onions, yellow cherry-type tomatoes, cultivated and wild mushrooms, olives, capers, broccoli rabe, roasted vegetables, salami, and a wide variety of cheeses beyond the classic mozzarella cheeses, including Parmigiano-Reggiano, grana padano, fontina, gorgonzola, ricotta, and provolone (regular and smoked). Neapolitans are also fond of eggs on their pizzas.
My best advice for anyone interested in the classic Neapolitan toppings is to go to the VPN website, at
, and look for the link to "Members". These are the pizza establishments around the world that have agreed to abide by the strict rules and regulations promulgated by the VPN. Links to some of the member websites are also provided. I would look first at Antica Pizzeria and La Pizza Fresca to get an idea as to classical Neapolitan toppings. I would also look at Naples 45 which, together with La Pizza Fresca, are the only restaurants in NYC to be certified by the VPN. The VPN members list doesn't provide a link to Naples 45, but the menu can be viewed by going to
and clicking on the menu icon. For those who are truly anal on this topic, they can go to the VPN members list and do Google searches on other listed U.S. pizza establishement, or some of the listed Neapolitan pizza establishments. In many cases, you will be able to find and review pizza menus. Doing this will provide a treasure trove of toppings possibilities.
Gils, with the internet, you no longer have to go anywhere to get answers to your questions, even those as arcane as regional Neapolitan pizza toppings
. You can do it from the comfort of your armchair.

Hey Peter,
Thanks for the info. That's incredible that the guidelines are so precise, but I guess I can understand them. I had forgotten that eggs were popular on pizzas in that area, though I did know that anchovies are a popular one. I think they do quite a bit with anchovies in their cooking it seems.

The level of detail is frightening. I took the original Italian Ministry's proposal (at
) and used the Google translator to translate the text from Italian to English. At the time the proposal was first announced, I summarized the gist of the proposal as follows (in quotes):
"The rules dictate which flours can be used ("00" and eventually "0"), what types of tomatoes can be used (peeled and crushed tomatoes or fresh tomatoes grown in the Mt. Vesuvius area), the type of yeast that can be used (fresh, or beer, yeast), the type of salt that can be used (sea salt or kitchen salt), the type of water that can be used (drinkable natural water), and the type of oil that can be used (extra virgin olive oil). In addition, the new rules state that the pizza dough must be soft, elastic and not sticky, and that it must be left to rise at least 6 hours (for example, a single rise of 6 hours or a first rise of 2 hours and a second rise of 4 hours), and be kneaded, shaped and formed into a round solely by hand, that is, without the use of rolling pins, dough rollers or other mechanical instruments. The diameter of the pizza round may not exceed 35 cm. (about 13 3/4'), and have a thickness of no more than a third of a centimeter in the center (about 1/10") and a thickness no greater than 2 cm. (about 3/4") at the edge (
). The pizza must be baked in a wood-fired oven that can achieve a temperature of 485 degrees C (905 degrees F). The crust of the baked pizza should be soft, elastic, and be easy to fold in two (
a libretto
). (No period of refrigeration of dough is called for, which is consistent with classic Neapolitan dough production.)"
The Italians scoff at the new rules and most aren't in compliance and have no plans to comply. There are over 23,000 pizza restaurants in Italy alone, serving more than 56 million pizzas a week. It is estimated that around 200 pizza restaurants were planning to apply for certification. Since there are no sanctions imposed for noncompliance, it is not clear what enforcement measures will be taken for perceived violations.
One of these days, just for the fun of it, I am going to try to make a basic Margherita pizza based on the above guidelines. I have some 00 flour (although not the Caputo 00 flour that is most widely used in Italy and considered to be the best), I have San Marzano tomatoes (with the DOP designation), I have sea salt, fresh basil growing out back, and I can get cake yeast and the imported Italian buffalo mozzarella cheese. I also have what is considered to be a basic 00 dough recipe as used in Naples. All I don't have is Neapolitan olive oil, Neapolitan water or a wood-fired oven. I have been told by merchants in Little Italy in NYC that the olive oil from Naples (in the region of Campania) is not of high quality in any event (the merchants don't carry it) and is usually diverted to the bulk oil trade. As for the water, you might be interested in knowing that Naples 45 in NYC at one point imported the water for its Neapolitan pizzas from Naples to insure authenticity (it now gets the water from a domestic source that formulates the water to mimic the composition of the Naples water). For the wood-fired oven, I guess I will just have to wait until Randy builds his and tells the rest of us how to do it
. I'm salivating just thinking about the prospects.

Thanks for the interest guys.
I am on a diet and so I am eating a lot of pizza, every day in fact. But I get fed up with the same topping every day, so I just wondered if you knew of any sites I had not discovered.
I have used Ada Boni, Elizabeth David, a couple of other books, and scoured the net and I think I have got about 30 traditional toppings or so for pizza.
Plus about 15 to 20 focaccia recipes (the main alternative lunch).
I realize you guys are doing your own thing, and I would love to join in your quest, but the saturated/hydrogenated fat levels make it impossible. Thats why I need the low animal/hydrogentated fat traditional type toppings.
If anybody would like me to post what I have discovered, let me know.
Otherwise, I will continue to just lurk arround.

OK Peter.
I will try and get them (or at least some) over the next week.
Do you want the low fat/calorie adaption, or the original (which is likely to suit most of the members from what I can see!) ?

There's a side of me that looks at the so-called "healthy" side of pizza as well as the more tasty side. I'd like to see both if that isn't too big of a problem for you. Take your time. I'm in no particular hurry. Thanks,

Best Buy Buyout Hopes Dim on Black Friday
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - It may be Black Friday at Best Buy (BBY) , but recent earnings, analyst comments and a a slow burning takeout proposal by the company's founder Richard Schulze, indicate the company's far from a steal in the M&A world.
The question now is whether Black Friday discount euphoria wears onto Schulze and other prospective Best Buy buyout investors after the weak earnings have put the company stock on a holiday season sale.
The Richfield, Minn-based retailer's shares are off over 50% year-to-date and nearly 25% in the past five trading days as falling earnings continue to muddle the company's future in an electronics retail world that's increasingly moving online and into branded manufacturer outlets.
Still, there is the prospect that founder Richard Schulze's long choreographed interest taking Best Buy private gives investors some reason to cheer this holiday season.
After gaining access to the company's books and lowering the price of his takeout proposal to $20 a share from as high as $26 a share, Schulze is running out of excuses to stall a formal offer - were he truly interested in the company.
Brian Sozzi, chief equity strategist for NBG Productions sees reason to believe a Best Buy buyout may be in the cards this holiday season, given the company's sharp stock slide.
"I think it is going to have to be something well under $20," says Sozzi of Schulze's buyout proposal. He adds Schulze may have played a strong hand in moving slowly with a buyout proposal that's still not a formal offer for management or shareholders to consider. "If management doesn't take the cash deal, they are going to be left to die in the public market," he adds of the prospective offer, and highlights the challenges other large publicly traded retailers like J.C. Penney (JCP) face in trying to execute transformation strategies.
Lining up alongside customers outside Best Buy stores to grab Black Friday deals, Sozzi says he was disappointed by crowds at the electronics retailer, in contrast to Target (TGT) and Wal-Mart(WMT) and the discounts likely to be available on Amazon(AMZN) on Monday.
As TheStreet noted in August after Best Buy cut its earnings outlook, it's time for Schulze to put up or shut up on a multi-billion dollar takeover proposal that's been discounted by investors since first being floated to the public in August.
Earlier in November, the electronics retailer reported worse than expected earnings that raise questions on the sustainability of the company's finances add to skepticism that the company will be acquired by a competitor or a consortium of private buyers.
On Nov. 21, Jefferies analyst Daniel Binder cut Best Buy's price target to $13 from $18, citing a dimming prospect of a premium priced takeout for the struggling retailer. Binder highlighted deteriorating operating results, weakness in international operations and 'sharply lowered' free cash flow as likely causing the biggest concern for prospective buyers.

"Let us pause and give thanks for the fact that Nelson Mandela lived -- a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. May God Bless his memory and keep him in peace," President Barack Obama said in a statement today, as he and Secretary of State John Kerry joined world leaders in remembering the former South African President and anti-apartheid leader.
The President and Secretary offered their condolences to Mandela's family and the South African people, who often refer to Mandela as Madiba.
"Through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, Madiba transformed South Africa -- and moved all of us. His journey from a prisoner to a President embodied the promise that human beings -- and countries -- can change for the better. His commitment to transfer power and reconcile with those who jailed him set an example that all humanity should aspire to, whether in the lives of nations or our own personal lives. And the fact that he did it all with grace and good humor, and an ability to acknowledge his own imperfections, only makes the man that much more remarkable," President Obama said.
"Madiba's 'long walk to freedom' gave new meaning to courage, character, forgiveness, and human dignity," Secretary Kerry said. "Now that his long walk has ended, the example he set for all humanity lives on."

Topic: filter in view with rails_admin
Hi, I am new to rails and I have a question to which I can't find the answer on any website. I am using rails_admin for a easy admin application. The thing is I have a table called owner and a table called computer which are liked to each other in the sense that an owner can have one or multiple computers. So I have linked them by using 'has_many' and 'belongs_to'. That works but when i try to create a new owner i want to see a list of all the computers that have no owner. At the moment I can see all the computers in a multi-select box and then select some and connect them to the owner. But if that computer was already owned, the ownership just changes without me knowing. Is there an easy was to do this. I am hoping I can just add something in my model files because thanks to rails_admin I don't really have a view file. I only have this 'application.html.erb' file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", :media => "all" %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
<%= yield %>
Thank you in advance for an answer.

How did you brew it? I've still got some of my sample packet, but my first try wasn't as successful as yours.

At least, it was crap when it was stored in a gluey blue box, as pictured below. I've only kept it in just it's wrapper, along with the other two, since they came in. I took this one out today to air and to see if it's made any progress.
It's lost it's gluey taste, thank goodness, and it's made some moves towards tasting like puerh. It's smoother, a touch sweeter, and while it still has ample bitterness, it's rounded out a bit. I brewed this extremely light- only 4 grams, as I was concerned about the last time I brewed this. 7 grams was enough tea to make it feel like it was peeling away my gums.
All in all, it's gotten a little better. Hopefully the storage will keep doing it's job and I can look forward to drinking these when I'm 57 or so.

The 8 digit phone number was introduced in 1995. It's likely a decent cake though, with "shang" stamped on the paper, indicating its quality, I think. Next time I go by there I can ask them about the stamp.

They offer puerh, TKY, Phoenix Mtn, Dragonwell, etc. However, I too haven't bothered trying them. I was taken off guard to see these teas sold by Peet's, though I'm not surprised. It makes sense from a marketing POV I suppose.
FWIW - Peet's teas are generally pretty decent, unlike Starbucks.

It's an assumption, and like in a blogpost by Gingko, where longjing sellers have problems because people don't believe it's good longjing at good prices, we *could* be assuming that the perfectly mindblowing GFZ is not actually what it is, due to our misconceptions about the market.
Now, we generally think this way because there is a pattern of elite consumers having leedle hidey-holes full of organic gardening and ranching created specifically for the safe consumption of the Party Bosses (check LA Times somewheres), while normal people have to wonder whether their pork is safe to eat, and make a run to HK for their baby formula. So, it's not a stretch to say that there are specific areas of LBZ, GFZ, Bingdao, etc, etc, etc, as well as places we've never heard of, that are not actually available to us mortals.
However, this is just a heuristic, and as heuristics go, it can be pretty poisonous to enjoying your tea! Besides, I suspect that elite demand generally circles around tea that few/nobody else has ever heard of. So it's really just your usual well-off Chinese, and all the tea merchants that cater to them that are the competitors.
The price of GFZ @ Nadacha is correct for decent GFZ. GFZ is about $200/1kg. The normal retail price is that the retail bing (357/400g) is about the same price as the per-kg cost. That pays for wrappers, shipping, pressing, travel, enough maotai to kill an elephant, cover cost of tea that don't sell, and profit.

At the Wolstein Center (formerly Convocation Center) three weeks from Sunday.
Showtime is televising the fight. Brewster has managed to rise to one of the top heavyweight contenders after a couple bad losses 4-5 years ago.
2 of his last 4 wins were against Wladimir Klitchsko and Andrew Golota. I remember the Klitschko fight, I think it's the only time I've seen him fight.
He's fighting some big 22-1 Russian named Sergei Lyahovich who hasn't fought in over a year after beating Dominick Guinn, who lost to James Toney back in October.
