Reaction: Steelers 19 - Bills 16
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 17 2014 4:51AM
The Buffalo Bills put their best effort into bringing a second victory back to New York with them in the preseason, but a slow start by both the first-team offense and defense inevitably ruined their chances. The team concluded their five-day stay in Pennsylvania with a 19-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On Thursday night, just two days ahead of the game, Bills quarterback EJ Manuel had one of his best practices as a professional football player. Was he able to capitalize on that performance and implement it into the game setting? Here are some reactions from the Bills' most recent contest:
No TD-ville
- Five drives, no touchdowns. Heck, let's take it a step farther. Three games, 10 total drives, no touchdowns. That is the stat line that bogs down the first-team offense with quarterback EJ Manuel at the helm. They haven't managed to scrounge up anything more than a field goal to conclude a drive, leaving most frustrated by their inability to do so in a meaningless, exhibition contest. On Saturday, the inconsistent version of Manuel was seen and it cost the Bills on more than a few separate occasions during their offensive drives. While Manuel wasn't hesitant, he settled in for a lot of underneath throws to running backs and tight ends, due to (what he said was) the Steelers dropping seven back into coverage. The Steelers likely saw what Manuel did to their defense on Thursday at practice and vowed not to allow any intermediate-to-large gains through the air. The quarterback threw some errant passes, with the interception to Ryan Shazier and the two inaccurate throws on the run being the most glaring ones. He did bring about a pair of very good throws, too. He found Robert Woods on a deep comeback route that Manuel placed on the money along the sidelines with a hearty amount of anticipation laced into the throw. Later on he found T.J. Graham open in some space for a third-down pickup as well. What matters is that the drives stalled deep into Steelers' territory, which means that the Bills have to figure things out next weekend against Tampa Bay.
Watkins scare
- On the first drive of the game, most Bills fans gasped for air when they saw first-round selection and wide receiver Sammy Watkins get injured. When he went to the locker room, there was a very small amount of panic in regards to Watkins, too. The wideout was discovered to have an injury to his ribs, which doesn't give any indication as to the timetable that he could be out. NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported during the game that Watkins' rib injury didn't appear to be serious, although the report wasn't specific as to when the rookie would return in full. Head coach Doug Marrone wasn't aware of the severity of the injury and only called it a contusion, but quarterback EJ Manuel said that he thinks Watkins "will be fine." For now, it's a wait-and-see approach.
Rush defense continues to shine
- Coming into Saturday night's contest, the first-team defense allowed only 18 yards on 10 carries of designed run plays combined between the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers. They kept that in tact against the Steelers by allowing just 11 yards on five carries. Granted, the Steelers were moving the ball down the field through the air as they pleased, but the run defense showed once again why this could be a much improved unit. Brandon Spikes, Jerry Hughes, Nigel Bradham and both Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus all contributed to one of the lone bright spots of the evening for the top units.
Pass defense problem?
- If teams aren't having success in the run department, odds are you know what their countermove will be: they're going to try and spread the ball around to get the opposition to back off the line of scrimmage. With all the success that the run defense had, the pass defense was left in the dust on Saturday. The Bills had Stephon Gilmore, Corey Graham, Da'Norris Searcy and Duke Williams as the starting unit, and all four struggled throughout the evening. Gilmore gave up the touchdown in the corner of the end zone to Markus Wheaton, which was his second beat for a score in as many weeks. Graham had the best day of the group as a tackling corner, but he lost a step on Antonio Brown on the 76-yard touchdown which allowed for Duke Williams to run straight into Graham to cancel each other out. On that same play Searcy was slow to recognize both what was happening and what was coming his way, got caught flat-footed and by that point the speedy Brown was already long gone. Some might ask why Aaron Williams wasn't in with the first-team, but head coach Doug Marrone implored everyone to not read into it. He said the exercise was just to familiarize Duke Williams with the top unit before the season, but the coach remained that Aaron Williams is in fact the starter. The secondary could be an issue if the pass rush isn't there for the Bills, so it's certainly a situation to monitor.
Backup QB
Question: "Are you satisfied with your backup quarterback play?"
Doug Marrone: "No."
The look on Marrone's face paired with the tone of voice he used to answer the question makes one believe that he is not at all happy with how the backup quarterback competition is shaping up. Both Thad Lewis and Jeff Tuel have really struggled to discern themselves, with Lewis having the worst camp of the two. That continued on Saturday night with Lewis completing only 1-of-6 passes for 18 yards, and throwing a fairly poor interception to end his day. On the ensuing drive, Tuel came in and was a tad better than Lewis completing 5-of-9 passes for 48 yards, but was also sacked four separate times and lost a fumble to Pittsburgh. Turnovers will drive any coach crazy, especially when it's the two men trying to be the backup plan for second-year player EJ Manuel. While Tuel will likely stick on the roster regardless of what else happens, the same can't be said of Lewis. Should the right player become available on the open market the Bills might look to strike to help bring some composure to the position past Manuel. Lewis' job could be in jeopardy if he doesn't pick up his play… and quickly.
Branch bubble?
- At the beginning of the offseason, the Buffalo Bills signed defensive tackle Alan Branch to a contract extension and thought he would serve as the top substitute for Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus. That idea, like the very contract that kept Branch in town, looked good on paper for all parties. However, Branch went missing in action during all the offseason workouts. While he didn't have to show up because the practices were voluntary, but Marrone gave the impression that the two weren't even in contact at all. Branch also flunked his conditioning test at the start of camp, and he did admit that there was some displeasure voiced to him early on for not having his body ready for training camp. Since he's returned to the field, Branch has been placed at the back of the line for defensive tackles. Corbin Bryant, Stefan Charles and now Landon Cohen are all getting time on the field before Branch. That trio has looked good, whereas Branch is barely noticeable outside of his size. It's not the greatest of indicators that he started his night in the fourth quarter. He needs stark improvement to solidify a spot on the roster, because Marrone said that the veteran defender is "working for a spot."
Bills MVP: DT Stefan Charles
- Stefan Charles was a master of disruption against the second-team offensive line for the Steelers. Charles made his presence felt early on with a sack, then followed it up with another sack and the forced fumble that led to the eventual Bills recovery, which put their team in great position for points. With how disruptive he has been and how unnoticeable Branch has been, there is a case to be made for Charles to be the third defensive tackle on the roster even though he doesn't have all that much experience on defense. He's having a great camp.
Bills LVP: OT Cyrus Kouandjio
- If Cyrus Kouandjio were a fifth, sixth or seventh-round draft choice, he would be in danger of being released by the Bills altogether. However, he is a second-round pick and the Bills won't walk away from him after just one training camp. Marrone is an offensive line coach through and through and could welcome the challenge of trying to get the most out of Kouandjio. But he has a lot of work to do, which includes being able to fix his poor effort on the Steelers' strip sack that secured the game-winning field goal for the black and gold.
Up Next:
The Bills have Sunday off and then get back to work for their final week of training camp at St. John Fisher College. The first of their final four practices is Monday night at 6 pm.
Final Thoughts:
- The Bills have started training camp before anyone else and will be one of the last to end it, too. With this much time and that many reps under their belt already, the offense needed to be a lot farther ahead than what they showed against the Steelers. It all boils down to EJ Manuel and how he'll react to a given coverage and an actual game situation. He displayed it at times against Carolina and all throughout Thursday's joint practice with Pittsburgh. Simply put though, no touchdowns in 10 drives is unacceptable with all that time spent on the practice field already. Manuel knows it, Marrone knows it, the rest of the players know it. For the Bills to be successful they need to learn how to score as an offensive unit which is a task that they just haven't been able to master yet. Quite obviously, it's essential to both the short term and longterm plans of Buffalo moving forward.

By PHIL FAUVERstaff writer
Bernice Payne introduced Carla Kelly the guest speaker for the evening. She said Carla Kelly is a veteran of the National and International publishing world. She has written about the history of Indian Wars and other topics. Two of her books have won awards from Western Writers of America. She spent years writing for Regency Romances and for Signet. She received awards for best Regency writer of the year from Romance Writers of America. She received a lifetime achievement award from Romantic Times.
Venturing into LDS themes Carla Kelly received the Whitney Award for the book "My Loving Vigil Keeping", which is a historical fiction novel about the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster of the 1900s. Carla now writes for three publishing companies and has been published in at least 12 languages. She has written over 30 novels and many short stories. Carla loves to write combining history with fiction to make the story ring true. In her spare time she volunteers at the Helper Railroad and Mining Museum.
Kelly after thanking everyone for coming started her lecture by singing a mining song. Then she asked how many had worked in coal? How many in the audience were named Davies, Jones, Timothy's, Lewellyn and Royd were descendants from Wales? She commented that several of the miners in the Winter Quarters Mine came from Wales. She then pointed to her large flag of Wales and stated that some of her ancestors came from Wales.
Kelly and her husband moved to Wellington, Utah in 2009. Prior to moving to Wellington, her husband retired from teaching at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. She is a historian by training and trade. Kelly had been working for the Park Service at the Fort Union Trading Post, a National Historic site. They have been here four years and are enjoying their life here.
Kelly knew when she moved to Wellington that there had been a big mine disaster at the beginning of the 20th Century. Soon after arriving in Utah and learning a bit of the history of Carbon and Emery Counties Carla decided that she wanted to write about the Scofield or the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster. At that time she knew nothing about coal or about mining. She has since learned a lot about coal and mining.
Kelly spent two and a half years in research about the history of Scofield, about the Winter Quarters Mine and about coal mining. She went several times to the canyon where the mine is located and visited with relatives of that event in preparation for writing the book about the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster. Kelly also learned about the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster. When that event happened her bishop was the head of mine rescue at the Deer Creek Mine and he was seen on CNN TV most of the day driving a pickup truck into the Crandall Canyon Mine over and over again while the commentator talked about the collapsed mine. The Bishops wife said that was the longest day of her life. Kelly knew there was a story about mining at Scofield. She knew in her mind that there could be a story about the miners and their families.
Kelly was in the process of writing two other books when she started collecting information from a variety of sources about any mining and mine disasters. These she put into a special box about mining and mine disasters.
When the Sun Advocate issued a story about the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster. She read through the article. The article had a list of the dead and many interesting photos and stories. That article went into the box relating to mines and miners. She said when you write historical fiction, you collect everything. You never know what you are going to need. Sometime ago she found an old 1915 Rules For Teachers and an 1872 Teachers Rules. Kelly read some of those rules to the group. Women teachers whether married or single that engage in unseemly conduct will be dismissed, after 10 hours at school teachers may spend their remaining time reading the bible or other good works. Each teacher will bring a bucket of water and coal for the day's session. You must wear eight petticoats; your dresses must not be any shorter than two inches above the ankles.
Kelly said, I volunteered to work at the Western Mining and Railroad Museum in Helper. This was a gold mine for me. At the museum I found pictures and a lot of interesting stuff and I began a collection of stuff including coal. I am constantly adding to my file. One of the pictures I found was a photo of the 1899-1900 classroom in Winter Quarters Canyon School. With a magnifying glass I examined each face in the photo and learned the names of many of those in the photo. In January I started to write the book that was due in June. By then I had gathered a lot of information.
When writing historical fiction you have a framework. The framework for this book was the mine disaster. The only person in this story that knows what is going to happen May 1, 1900 is myself. No one else in the story knows that. So I put the mine disaster at the end of the book. Therefore I have to fill 300 pages with events leading up to the mine disaster.
I had to think through in my mind. What is this story actually about? So I decided the person that would tell this story would be a schoolteacher. This person would be a person from the outside. She had a little knowledge of mining. Her father a hard rock miner had a mine over in the Colorado Plateau and he died in a cave in. When the school teacher has a question about mining she will ask someone at Winter Quarters and that is how you get information included in the story.
A lot of writers will dump a lot of information in a book. It is better to distribute information throughout the book here and there so you don't lose your readers interest.
The mine at Winter Quarters was started in 1875-1876. The coal miners originally were LDS. They joined the church in Wales. That is where David O McKay's mother came from. These miners came to Zion or Utah. Some never went back into the mines. They came to Carbon County and the Winter Quarters Mine the earliest paying coal mine in Utah. There were four mines at Winter Quarters. Two of which were active. The active mines were number four and number one. They were operating from about 1878 to 1928. When these mines stopped working there was still plenty of coal there but it became too expensive to mine that coal.
The early miners were Welsh, British, Cornish and Scottish. They are British Isles miners. All of the original American knowledge of mining comes from the British Isles.
I am going to have a lot of Welsh people in the book. I like the Welsh and I have Welsh ancestors. I like them because they like to sing and they are good at it. So in my book I have Welsh singers. At this time I was a chorister and choirmaster in the Wellington 2nd Ward. So as the writer of this is fiction, I am going to put the best choir of the church in the Pleasant Valley Ward in Winter Quarters Canyon.
I have visited the canyon where the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster took place three times. The entrance to the Winter Quarters Canyon is through a bared and locked gate. It is on private property owned by a family named Sorenson. The canyon is very narrow and twists and turns many times. In 1900 there were 768 people living in that canyon. Many lived in boarding houses. Many of the miners were single or their families were living somewhere else. The houses clung to the sides of the canyon walls. They were just shacks for the most part. As a writer I wanted to know what they sang in the Pleasant Valley Ward. So while researching I discovered and received a 1909 edition of the Deseret Sunday School Hymn Book from Amazon.com. In the book it says Huntington Sunday School, "Come Home to Roost."
Sunday School was usually held at ten in the morning and by 1900 they also had lessons for adults. They had Sacrament then too. Then the adults came back in the afternoon. The children didn't go to the afternoon service. It was quiet. I wanted the hymn book because these were people that sang.
There were more than just LDS people living in the canyon. There were a lot of Finns from Finland living there too. Some of those Finns went to Rock Springs to mine coal while others came to the Winter Quarters Mine.
The Finns lost 61 men in the mine disaster. The total loss of life was 200. In 1900 it was the worst mine disaster in the United States. It is still Utah's worst disaster. Now it is ranked number 5 in the United States. There were Finns in the canyon. There were a few Italians, no Greeks, no Slovakians, no east European miners, a couple of German miners and some French miners. Most of the miners were from the British Isles or Finland. The heroin in the story on a whim goes to Winter Quarters to teach school and meets these wonderful people. I am often asked how many of the people in this story are real. Most of the people in the story are real. I mention Jessie Knight and Amanda Knight. Jessie Knight was one of Utah's first millionaires. He established the first mining district. His first mine was called the Hum Bug Mine.
In my story Jessie Knight is an interesting character. Samuel Auerbach came to Utah and started a department store with his brothers. It finally closed in the 1970s. The choirmaster in my story is Richard Evans. He was called the Swiss singer of Israel. He and his family came to Utah in the 1880s with his brothers. They had a little band and performed in Price and other areas. Holly Jones and Levi Jones are other real people in the story. In my research I use Ancestry.com and Family Search just to learn about these people.
The Evans and the Joneses, the first thing they would do when they arrived in Utah, was go to Salt Lake, go to the temple to be sealed to their families and then they would go to the mines.
So I have a canyon full of Mormons a canyon full of Finns and other people. I want to be fair to everybody and that is part of the fun of the story.
Another interesting real person in the story is Thomas Parmely. Thomas Denison Parmely was from Durham which is Northern England's great coal mining area. He went into the mines at the age of 10.
This was not unusual back then. He joined the church in 1869 at the age 13. Thomas was 26 when he and his family came to the United States. He was already a 16-year veteran in the mine. He worked his way across the country and ended up in Coalville. In 1885 he was named superintendent at the Utah Pleasant Valley Coal Company. Three years later he married Miriam Staret. She was also English. As soon as he married her, he became the Bishop of the Pleasant Valley Ward in 1889. He was the Bishop until 1919 when his wife died. She is buried there in Scofield along with two or three of their children.
Thomas Dennison Parmely is a well-known name in the State of Utah. His brother William was the foreman of the number four mine. He died in the mine disaster. William had a son whom he named Thomas. Thomas went to school at Cornell University and became a physicist. He was hired by the University of Utah and married a woman by the name of Laverne. Laverne Parmely was the head of the LDS Primary Organization for many years. The Parmely's in my story are real.
The people in my story that are not real are the main characters. Census records are invaluable. The 1900 census was taken after the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster. When a miner quit or died the family was given five days to vacate their home. The land belonged to the coal company. Some of the houses also belonged to the coal company. This bothered Parmely a lot, but he was also a businessman. Being a superintendent and a Bishop could be considered a conflict of interest today.
The Pleasant Valley Coal Company knew that Parmely as Bishop could control his miners. A lot of the mine owners were prominent in the church. They did not want work stoppages or strikes. They knew that these men would probably do what Bishop Parmely said and they did. I did some research at the Church History Library in Salt Lake City and I was looking at some of the minutes from the old priesthood meetings. I came across one in 1883 that fascinated me. The issue was that some members were talking about striking and they were told if they struck their church membership would be called into question. That is the way it was. Some of the minutes are in the Welsh language. You could control your miners in this way.
At the mass funeral in Scofield, Joseph F. Smith, Teasdale and George Albert Smith, General Authority's spoke at the funeral. George Albert Smith said, don't let this be an excuse for a strike tomorrow.
The first actual strike in Utah came because the miners wanted better wages, working conditions, checkers and weigher's paid by the miners instead of the company. The first strike came in February 1901 about six months after the mine disaster. The strike began at Winter Quarters, spread to Clear Creek Mine about eight miles away. The strike petered out because they were not organized. It was a kind of Wild Cat Strike. That is where it began.
After the mine disaster 200 men had to be replaced. Some of the men that were there and were not involved in the mine disaster did not want to go back in the mine so they quit. Many of the miners kept working. They had a lot of trouble reopening number four mine because the ones that died were really good miners. There followed a series of deaths that occurred and that was the reason why they struck the company, as conditions were not very good. The strike petered out, but there was a series of strikes up though the 1930s. The company finally recognized the Union as a bargaining agent. Strikes continued. All of this is factored into the story in its own way.
The mines at Winter Quarters were called family mines, because these mines appeared to be safe. They had none of the Methane problems as occurred in the Castle Gate Mine. So you get cousins, uncles and in-laws working there. Every one is related. Mining was a family occupation back then and it still is today. I stress that a little bit in the story.
I have written a story about the community of Coalville. I am telling the story through the school students and the teacher. The heroin is teaching the students and that is how she gets to know the parents. She is also working part time in the amusement hall library. The library was the most popular place in Coalville.
I have here a photo of the Wasatch Store. Only two walls remain today. There are some foundations of other buildings to be seen in the canyon. I believe the amusement hall and the library were on the second floor of the Wasatch Store. I got permission to go into the canyon and take pictures. Writing is kind of like painting. I like to see what I am writing about. That makes the project fun. The first thing that I did was to go to the cemetery. That is an experience that one will not forget. There were row upon row of tombstones with the same death date.
In 2000 they had the Centennial of the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster. I became acquainted with Ann Carter who is related to the Finns in that valley. She has the only working sawmill in Scoville now. The head stones in the cemetery were made out of wood. A few of the originals are still standing. Some of the families that had been there longer have their own private plot. I finally found Richard Evans grave. He is the choirmaster in the story and he died in the mine disaster.
In the Helper museum on the second floor there is the Winter Quarters Mine Disaster room. There is a great big 1903 map made of linen of the mines in the area. The number four mine was up a canyon and the number one mine was on the level.
When I write I want to know where the houses are, I want to know where the hospital is, where the school is and where the mine is. I want the story to be as real as I can make it. Some things you never find out.
My main source was the book of the Scofield Mine Disaster of May 1, 1900 by P. W. Gilley. He taught at the Scofield School and was a town councilman. After the mine disaster Gilley compiled a story about the mine disaster. He includes first person accounts. The town of Scofield sold the book to raise money for the widows. Copies of this book can be obtained through Amazon.com. It is a very interesting book because it came out just a few months after the mine disaster.
Danny Price's parents and grand parents lived up there in Pleasant Valley. They had a little ranch and a little mom and pop coal mine for their own use. Danny said his folks, on the day of the mine disaster, were working in the field. Someone came running and asked if they could come and help the miners. His father and grandfather dropped everything and ran to the mine and they ended up pulling out bodies. That is about as close as you can get to an eyewitness account. Danny's father told what they had found in the number one mine.
When the number four mine exploded from a spark in the coal dust it was connected to the number one mine. That is against the law these days. The firedamp came into the number one mine through the connection. The men working closest to that connection died. Those that dropped their tools and ran got out. But those that took time to put down their tools before running died. I let all of these things tie into my story to make it seem real.
A short detailed account of the Scofield or Winter Quarters Mine Disaster can easily be found on the Internet.

love these shoes
"These shoes came exactly as described. They are comfortable and can be worn all day at work and even to the supermarket on the way home! The glitter is staying put. I have an average-to-slightly wide foot and they're great. They go with everything. You can't go wrong with black mary janes on glittery steroids."

glittery and glamourous
"I got my shoes today and they are gorgeous. They fit perfectly because I have narrow feet and I tested the glitter to see if they fall off easily and they didn't. Thanks to the reviewers who recommended these shoes. I'm going to choose an appropriate outfit to wear with these to church on Sunday. Great quality at a great price. Thanks again DSW!"

If I didn't have little toes...
"...these shoes would rock! I love the glittery wedge -- so fun! The raise in the arch is proportion to my foot, but there just wasn't enough room for all my toes. If you have narrow feet, which I do not (nearing Flintstones-foot wideness), then these shoes would probably fit. Had to return them. Didn't want to, but it doesn't appear that they can be stretched without ruining them."

Earlier this year, we were testing a Wilier Cento Uno with Campy 11. Couldn't swap in our SRM crank, and our PowerTap SL wheel had Shimano splines on the cassette body. We called Saris and they sent us the conversion kit. Our kit came the way both come, with a different cassette body, freehub seals and two spacers. Spacers!
When we were finished taking a 5mm Allen key to the non-drive side axle and a 17mm cone wrench to the drive side axle, swapping bodies and inserting spacers, we'd have to re-dish the wheel. Oy! We needed our power! So we finished the conversion by tightening down the 5mm nut and the 17mm nut and then took a look at the wheel dishing. Maybe our initial dish job was off, but when we reassembled the wheel, the dish was not perfect, but really close. We left it. Your experience may vary.
The CycleOps PowerTap SL Freehub body is designed to work with PowerTap hubs built around a 12mm axle, so the older wireless SL, current wired Comp, the wireless Elite +, and Pro+. This body is made from aluminum, which is how the SL and Pro+ come stock. The stock body on the Elite+ and Comp hubs are made from steel, though the steel body can be swapped for the alumimi, and vice versa. The kits come with a freehub body, freehub seals, two spacers, and instructions to convert from Campy to Shimano/SRAM and vice versa. You'll know the new spacers from the old, as one set of spacers are aluminum, the other steel. You don't need to re-space the cassette for Campy 11, as you will with some hubs. There is a different kit for PT hubs with a 15mm axle. If you feel the axle and cassette ratchet need greasing, you may apply "2 grams of high quality freehub grease to the ratchet ring." We take this to mean anything thick; they recommend Kluber Isoflex and Dupont Krytox. It's been our experience that lighter oil is best for the ratchet mechanism and the pawls. Something between Phil's tenacious oil and mineral oil is probably best for the ratchet mechanism as they won't congeal over time or in the cold as can happen with thick grease. Claimed weight is 85g.

Nowlin, Laura (June , 2008)[more][less]Nowlin, Laura 2008-07-16T16:31:51Z 2008-07-16T16:31:51Z 2008-06 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/6852 260 p. A terminal project presented to the Historic Preservation Program of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. The field of historic preservation, until recently, overlooked rural communities in its mission to preserve historic resources. While the preservation community begins to focus more on landscape preservation and rural areas, there still exists a lack of information and understanding of the places, the people and their needs. This terminal project addresses the issue of preservation in deep rural communities through a single indepth case study in the form of a Historic Resources Study of Petroleum County, Montana. This Historic Resources Study (HRS) has laid the groundwork for future preservation activities in Petroleum County in three ways. First, it presents a broad history of the area from which to gain knowledge of the local history and understanding of how and why the historic resources are there. Second, it supplies an identification and explanation of a selection of both rural and urban historic resources. Finally, it provides an overview of historic preservation and many of the programs that have been successful in rural places. In addition, it gives a list of recommendations for historic preservation action in Petroleum County and contributes to a heritage education program by providing a lesson plan for the Winnett High School. 6775531 bytes 59053 bytes application/pdf application/pdf en_US Historic preservation Rural Rural landscapes Heritage education Petroleum County (Mont.)

The use of BIM software ArchiCAD was tested as an aid to the exploration and recordation of structural elements discovered through direct study of the house. The software was found to be highly useful in the coordination and consolidation of building information as it is collected from the field, and for the digital extrapolation from this collected information in the creation of a completed model. The product of this work is a concise, complete, and accurate digital model which may be used for the subsequent production of 2D, 3D, and 4D interpretive materials.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
It's pretty hard to mesmerize, entertain and hold the attention of a group of high school and junior high students for an hour, but Aron Ralston did just that at Emery and Green River High on April 25.
Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon introduced Ralston to the students with a brief biography. Ralston now resides in Aspen, Colo. He was the first person to solo climb the 50 tallest points in the United States in the winter. His book, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," has attained international best seller status. It is Ralston's first book. He has shared his story on the David Letterman show and Tom Brokaw hosted a show where they returned to the site of Ralston's accident in Blue John Canyon in the remote recesses of Emery and Wayne counties.
Sheriff Guymon said, "His rescuers, Capt. Kyle Ekker, Deputy Greg Funk and Sgt. Mitch Vetere have formed a lasting friendship with Aron and he is here today as a favor to us. He has also donated money to the search and rescue to purchase needed equipment."
Ralston began speaking about the "miracle of his life the last two years." He said he grew up in the Midwest, flat lands, until the age of 12. He was paranoid as to whether he would fit in when his parents announced a move to Colorado. He put forth a lot of effort to be like the other kids and became an expert skier and outdoorsman. He completed his college education in Pittsburgh at the Carnegie Mellon University. He became an engineer for Intel and traveled with the company for five years.
Ralston began a project to solo climb in winter the 59 peaks in Colorado above 14,000 feet. "It was incredibly dangerous, I took classes and training in rescue riggings, ice climbing and climbed with experienced mountaineers. I was halfway done with the most advanced and difficult peaks yet to come. In May of 2002, I took some time to go to Alaska to climb Mt. McKinley, I wanted to do it, but my job would not allow for me to take a month off. This was important to me, a passion, an obsession. I quit my job. I knew that with the help of my teammates I had the potential to do bigger things. I moved to Aspen. I was worried and afraid, I had a townhouse in Albuquerque that I owed money on. I went from a six figure a year salary to working for minimum wage at the Ute Mountaineer in Aspen.
"In 2002-03, I went from 33 of the mountains to having climbed 45. I had near falls. On a back country ski trip in Resolution Canyon we skied into a bowl and we were hit by a grade five avalanche. We were lucky to survive. We dug out and rescued ourselves. In another climb, I suffered frostbite in eight fingers. It was painful, but it taught a hard lesson, like how unsafe your ego can be when played out in the outdoors.
In April of 2003, I set out on a much needed vacation. I was going for five days and I had not a care or worry. I was alone. I read in my guidebooks to decide where to go. On the third day I left my truck at the trail head of Horseshoe Canyon for a 15 mile bike ride. I was going to leave my bike, cut into Blue John Canyon, hike the eight miles on the upper end of Horseshoe and hike back to my truck and then pick up my bike. I had three liters of water, two chocolate bars, two burritos and some climbing gear.
"I met two young women hiking along the trail, Kristi and Megan. When the main fork of the canyon branched to the left, they were going to take that branch to head back to their car. They urged me to go back with them, but I held to my selected course. We agreed to meet later at their camp. Forty-five minutes later, this section of canyon turns from rolling hills to a slot about shoulder width. The walls of the canyon are 50-80 feet high. The canyon has been carved by water eating away at it. There's no water there now, but I came to a 10 foot drop. There is a boulder pushed over the ledge and wedged there. I use the boulder to step down, I push against it first to see if it will hold my weight and it seems stable. I work my way down and around the boulder using it to get myself in a position where I can just drop the rest of the way down. I grabbed the back side of the rock and with my weight pulling on the front edge of the rock, the torque rotated the boulder free and I knew it was going to fall and I needed to get out of the way. I hit the canyon floor and the boulder came bouncing down. It smashed my left hand and then bounced and hit my right hand and ensnared my right hand along the boulder and the canyon wall. I was stuck hard, my head said to pull my hand out and get free. I worked myself into a rage trying to free my hand. Then the pain hit. My entire arm was crushed, it was the worst pain ever. My arm was numb. My entire arm was compressed to the size of my pinky finger. I raged on for about 45 minutes to get loose. The boulder wouldn't budge, I did get it to move once, which only made its hold on my arm tighter. It's now 3:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. I pulled out my water bottle and began chugging it, I drank one-third of my remaining water supply. They say you need a gallon of water a day to survive, and I'd just drank one-third of what I had left. I needed to stop and think and look at what's happening and make a plan. I took an inventory of what I had. Two burritos, flashlight, camera, video camera, extra batteries, climbing ropes and a multi-tool.
"I thought maybe I could chip at the rock and excavate enough material to get my hand out. I thought maybe I could rig up a pulley system to move the boulder up and try to dislodge my arm. I could wait and see if someone comes by. Maybe when I don't show up for work someone will send help. I went through possible scenarios over and over.
"With my cheap pocketknife I spent the first night chipping away at the rock. I excavated about as much rock as half a golf ball. What I needed to move was more like a basketball. I hooked up the ropes and a pulley, but it was futile. An army of men couldn't remove that boulder.
"It wasn't a big deal if I didn't show up to meet the girls. They would probably think I had just blown them off. It was improbable I would last more than three days without water. The park rangers might send some help if they saw my truck in the same spot for days. It wasn't too likely that anyone would stumble upon me. I didn't have a tool to amputate my arm with and besides that I'd probably bleed to death before I could get back to my truck. I got out my knife, it felt dull; how could something that dull set me free. By Sunday afternoon, I felt like a dead man. I got out my video camera to say good-bye to my family and friends. I started by asking whoever found the tape to make sure it got to my parents in Colorado. 'Mom and Dad, I love you, I'm sorry for what I've gotten myself into.' My little sister Sonja was about to graduate from college, she was going to be married in August. To have her big brother die would just ruin everything. I felt terrible, I felt sorrow, I felt forlorn and despair.
"I had two-thirds of a liter of water left. I worked the second night chipping rock. I rigged up a harness where I could crouch in a seated position to take some of the stress off my legs from standing all the time. I hadn't slept, I was hungry, thirsty and hypothermic. I was only dressed in shorts and a T-shirt. It was cold in the 30s and 40s. I was hypothermic, it was useless to fight it. Monday, I tried to amputate my arm. I took the tubing from my Camelsbak water canteen and tied it around my arm to make a tourniquet. I held my knife and tried to saw my arm. I gave up. I thought of happier times. I thought of my family and the people I loved and it buoyed my spirit for a time. When thinking of my memories, never once did I think about conquering a mountain somewhere, it was always about people and my family and friends.
"Tuesday morning I was astounded that I was still alive. I broke through the skin with my knife. There was no way I could break through the bones with that knife.
"I was left in despair, I was parched, the dryness was burning and my tongue would stick in my mouth. Five days and going into the sixth day without water was horrendous. I urinated into my water bottle. It was the only liquid I had left. Salt water kills you faster. It tasted horrendous and I didn't know if it was doing good or harm. The worst picnic lunch I've ever had was a burrito dunked in urine. And you guys think cafeteria food is bad. But I was desperate. It was the best thing I could do for myself.
"By Wednesday night it was 35 degrees. The breeze blowing down the canyon was the breath of death. At midnight I carved into the rock above my head, 'Aron -RIP. Oct. 75-April-03. It was my gravestone. My canyon grave, I would never move from there again. I gave myself up. Something else was in control and I knew that I wouldn't affect the outcome. It no longer mattered what I did. I would not determine the outcome. I gave away my will. It is a different feeling to give yourself up. Something else was in control. I was in a trance. I never passed out. I considered cutting my wrists, but I determined that no, if I died in this canyon; it would be from natural causes. I had prayed for a flash flood to drown me. On Wednesday night at 2 a.m. I had a trance vision. I saw my spiritual body going away from my physical body. I went to a room full of friends, I went to random places. I went down a hallway to a room with a wood floor. I saw a little boy about three years old sitting on the floor playing with a truck. He sensed I was in the room and he looked up at me. I took a few steps forward and the boy came running over. I picked him up with my left hand, because I had no hand on my right arm. He shouted out Daddy and then the vision went away. I knew with a certainty, I have a future on the outside of this canyon. For some future son, I needed to make it out of there.
"It was 10:30 a.m. on Thursday and I was expecting death at any minute. I hear a voice in the canyon that spoke outside. It wasn't a voice inside my head, but an outside voice that said, 'That's it. That's it. Use leverage, like with a table vice. Take the free end and break it as a table vice. The boulder became my agent of freedom. If I bent my arm enough it would break the bones. This was ethereal, divine intervention. I smiled a big smile. This was the greatest idea, it was not like a light bulb coming on, but huge stadium lights. I bent in a crouch, the pain, and pow, my upper bone broke, it snapped. A bigger smile. I reached over the top of the boulder, pulling up and forcing the bottom bone to break and an even bigger smile. My two wrist bones broke in exactly the same place, creating the cavity I needed to get the knife through. I was 10:36 a.m. 'Here we go Aron' I said. I worked through the skin for an hour and the dense parts of my arm with the knife and the pliers. When I cut the nerve, a spaghetti noodle thing, it felt as if I had inserted my arm into a lava flow, but the pain was bigger. I knew it was not going to get any worse, I felt that. I was motivated. I didn't black out. Divine intervention is not really explainable. There was only one strand of flesh left and it was stretched tight. I used the wall of the canyon as a cutting board and in a crystalline moment I was free. My chest was heaving from the excitement. I had a big euphoric smile. It was a joy being alive. My memories and people of the past, my lifetime, came flooding back. I looked ahead, it was like being born a second time, but only more powerful. I thought, 'this is a very good thing.' But, I still had a lot to do. I made a tourniquet and sling to hold my arm to my chest with my backpack. I took a picture of that spot, of my bones stuck in the wall and the blood on the walls. To me it was a beautiful photograph, the value of my life was in that picture.
"I started down the narrow canyon, walking sideways sometimes. Twenty minutes later I was on the ledge of the 65 foot drop off. I stepped to look over the edge and I almost swooned. There was a pool of water at the bottom of the ledge. At the possibility of fresh water, I began snaking out the rope. I was going to use the rope to rappel over the ledge. I heard the whoosh of the rope going over the edge, almost too fast. I almost lost the rope down over the ledge. But, I put out my foot and stepped on it, with 15 feet of rope left, before it went over the edge. If I lost that rope, I was as good as dead, I might as well jump off the cliff. 'No stupid mistakes, Aron.' I prayed that if I was going to pass out that it not be in the next minute and a half as I made my descent off the ledge. Standing at the bottom by the pool, I grabbed my bottle and dumped out the urine. I dove into the water. I didn't know if I should sip or guzzle, but I guzzled. It was sweet water. I drank three liters of water and then filled my jugs. I flooded my stomach and I still had seven miles to go. I had to walk and find the trail and then get out and drive. I didn't know yet, how I was going to drive with one arm and shift the gears. I drank two liters of water in my first two miles and I knew I had to slow down or I'd be out of water again. I would hold water in my mouth to keep hydrated. I found another spot in the canyon that had water. I scooped it up, toads and all.
"After two more hours of hiking, I came around a corner and saw people. My relief was infinite. I called, 'Help, I need help.' The three people started to run. Luckily it was towards me, but I wouldn't have blamed them, if they ran the other way; because I looked a sight, with blood all over, and I had lost one/fourth of my body weight in those six days. I looked bad. I started babbling, 'My name is Aron and I was trapped by a boulder and I had to amputate my arm and do you have a phone? The people were from Holland, but they spoke perfect English and they said that they told us you were here. At first I didn't understand, but they said the rescuers at the trail head said to watch for you, you were lost in the canyon. They said you'd been lost a long time,' they related. They wanted me to sit down, but I wanted to get hiking. We set a good pace and they gave me some more water. They gave me all their food which was two Oreo cookies, but it tasted like a banquet.
"We split up and Monique and Andy ran ahead to notify the rescuers that we needed a helicopter. Eric and I plodded along, he took my backpack. I didn't have a sock on my left foot and I got sand in my shoe and it rubbed on my foot and pretty soon my foot hurt worse than my arm and I said I had to stop to get the sand out of my shoe. I guess I was getting cranky and bossy, we sat in the shade of a Cottonwood tree and the moment of truth came when I tried to stand back up. I regained my balance. Monique and Andy were still visible up the trail. I took one step at a time to get closer to help. About 150 yards to the end of the trail I heard a thundering racket and a black helicopter appeared. I felt such a sense of relief that I nearly lost consciousness, I was near salvation.
"Deputy Greg Funk stepped out of the helicopter and motioned for me to come over. I was in rapture. I walked over and they tell me that I said, 'Can I have a ride.' But, I don't remember. Greg asked me if I was Aron Ralston and I told him I was. I looked at the leather seat of the helicopter and knew I was going to make a mess of the back seat, but they yelled 'get in.' I climbed in and the helicopter rose above the rim of the canyon and I could see the horizon. It was a 15 minute ride to the hospital, and I was thirsty, I asked for a drink and Sgt. Mitch Vetere handed me a bottle of water, then he took it back and took off the cap and handed it back. We arrived at the hospital and I was placed on a gurney. I explained where my bike was and where my hand was. They thought maybe they could retrieve my hand and reattach it. They did retrieve my hand, but it took three days and 13 people to get the rock off it. I pass out and wake up on Friday morning in a hospital in Grand Junction. I was unaware I had been transferred from Moab.
"When I awoke my Mom came in and it was a bittersweet reunion of joy and sorrow. I knew that my mom had been going through hell also. I took her hand in mine and we just began sobbing without saying anything. After a few minutes I said, I'm sorry, Mom. I love you," said Ralston.
Ralston spent four months in recuperation. He had five surgeries and survived a severe bone infection.
On March 17, 2004, Ralston climbed El Diente in Colorado. He reached the summit of 14,062, using a prosthesis he helped design.
"This climb signified to me that I got back and I was stronger and I if I could do this with one hand that anything is possible. One month ago, I became the first person to climb all 59 of the peaks in Colorado over 14,000 feet in the winter. If I can do that, you guys can accomplish whatever you choose. What are your passions? What do you love? What in your life is so worthwhile that you'd give your right arm for it," said Ralston.
Ralston received many cards, letters and packages during his recovery. One young girl sent him a plaque that was painted silver with gold hearts with the words, "Yo Gotta Believe."
Ralston said he placed the plaque on the mantle during his recovery and it was an inspiration to him, "Yo gotta believe, you'll have your life back, yo gotta believe you will mountaineer again, you can do it. 'Yo, gotta believe," said Ralston.

Safe School Bus Policy
Take Care Around School Buses
When coming close to a school bus: Reduce your speed;. The bus is coming to a stop if the amber lights are blinking;. If the traffic signals are flashing, the school bus is totally stopped. In lots of states it is against the law and local regulation to pass a stopped school bus with blinking traffic signals and/or a stop arm.
All vehicles should be extremely careful around school buses. Children may dart out from in front or or behind a school bus without thinking about oncoming traffic.
Do not distract school bus drivers, they have a lot of responsibility and need to be concentrating on their school bus children in their care . Numerous are not paid really well and they do not need the extra irritation.
There are many kind of transport companies and firms which drive buses as well. They all have differing policies, so anticipate almost anything, they are human and could make mistakes as well.
If you own a company that has corporate vehicles, see to it you preserve great public relations and communication with these school bus drivers. Realize that if you do something dumb near a bus; it will be observed by others. They will assume you are hazardous, which is a bad picture for your company.
Don't assume for a moment that no one will see how you are driving around a school bus. The logo on your company vehicle sticks out. Save yourself an expensive ticket and also negative comments from the public, bus vehicle drivers, parents and also various other drivers.
Wherever you see school buses you are likely to encounter vehicles dropping off and picking up school students. Care should be taken around those vehicles which display school car hang tags on their rear view mirrors as these vehicles are usually dropping off students. K12parkingpermits has a number of sample hang tags on their site which you can view if you are not familiar with plastic custom printed hang tags.
Appropriate manners when driving the business automobiles is essential regardless of who is driving the vehicle. You must be determined to go over this with all your drivers. Sometimes delivery vehicle drivers get in a little bit of a rush or they are worried regarding finishing all the deliveries promptly. Be sure to tell them that you do not want them to dilly dalley, however you definitely expect them to polite, smart and also safe concerning how they drive around school buses. The school children's safety and security depends on it along with the long life of your business in the community.

Exosome mechanisms and the role of exosomes in Toxoplasma gondii infection pathology:
Toxoplasma gondii is a significant global health concern. Cats are the primary host, while infection of all other mammals is as secondary hosts, including the infection of nearly 2 billion people worldwide. Toxoplasma gondii infection is known to cause significant behavioral effects in secondary hosts. In rodents, Toxoplasma infection causes a reduced fear response to feline odors. In Humans Toxoplasma infection is positively correlated with schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. We hypothesized that Toxoplasma infection utilizes exosomes to cause behavioral changes in its secondary hosts. Exosomes are small vesicles formed in the endoplasmic reticulum that are loaded with specific RNAs and proteins. Exosomes are released from the parent cells and then bind to and release their contents into neighboring cells. The contents of the exosomes then exert effects on the recipient cell. Our results show exosomes are produced by Toxoplasma infected cells and that these exosomes are specifically loaded with unique mRNA when compared to exosomes from uninfected, serum-starved cells. Interestingly, among the unique mRNA found in exosomes from Toxoplasma infected cells two specific mRNA species may be involved in altering brain function. Rab-13, a Ras signaling protein family member that is involved with neurite growth and development, and LLP homolog, Further research is required to affirm these results and prove the proposed involvement with behavioral changes.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
A pioneer cabin finds its way almost home in the town of Cleveland. The old cabin sat on the Gardner farm in Cleveland. As plans were made to install a pivot on the property the old cabin was in the way. Owen Olsen saw the old cabin and told Natlie Gardner that he would like to restore the cabin and move it into town onto his property. So, Olsen took the cabin home one piece at a time. The cabin is finished for now, but Olsen believes it will be an ongoing project as he tinkers with it.
Olsen said the cabin was first built in town by David Timothy and was one of the first houses built in Cleveland. It was near where the cabin has been relocated. It was moved to Jimmy Atwood's property at the Clemo junction where Olsen said it was lived in and later became a granary.
Olsen has worked hard to restore the cabin as close to its original state as possible. He used straw in the chinking which helps hold the mud in place better to seal the cracks between the logs.
The furnishings for the cabin said Olsen have been "begged, borrowed and stolen." He has purchased some items and he said Boyd Griffin has given him some items for the cabin. He wants to keep all of the furnishings for the cabin in the pioneer era. Mark Rudman gave Olsen a stove for the cabin. Olsen is a craftsman and he has built many of the items for the cabin himself.
On. Sept. 11, Olsen felt like he had come far enough along with the project to invite the Gardners and Atwoods out to see the project. Natalie and father, Jimmy Atwood walked through the old cabin to see the restoration work performed by Olsen.
Olsen kept the cabin open all throughout the day for the residents of Cleveland to visit.
Olsen said now that he is retired he really likes working on projects to keep him busy. He recently completed a small fire station for his antique fire truck Jasper. Olsen will continue to work on the cabin to bring back memories of the past as he keeps projects for the future in mind.
The restored cabin will be a benefit to the residents of Cleveland. They can bring family members to visit the cabin and remember the ways of the past and the pioneers. The school children will be able to visit the cabin to learn about their pioneer heritage. Olsen has a passion for keeping the past alive and remembering years gone by.

Pat Garrehy is the founder, president, and CEO of Rootstock Software and has an extensive background as a software visionary, architect, and engineer.
Pat Garrehy of Rootstock Software forecasts how users will create their own interfaces to fit their work.
Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Bo Parker
PwC: Pat, can you tell us about your company and yourself?
PG: Sure. Rootstock was founded in 2008 as part of a venture I was doing called the Danville Group. We got started when NetSuite asked if I could extend its package to handle manufacturing, which I agreed to do. In 2011, Rootstock moved to the salesforce.com AppExchange platform.
We provide cloud-based ERP [enterprise resource planning] manufacturing and supply chain solutions for midmarket manufacturers. We help them cut costs, improve processes, and increase revenue with minimal IT infrastructure investment.
In the early 1970s, when I was at Martin Marietta, I was the primary developer and designer of an MRP [material resource planning] product that was taken commercial, called MASII. It was on the mainframe and sold to large corporations in the Silicon Valley, such as Shaklee, Fairchild, FMC, and Amdahl Corporation.
In the early 1980s, I founded Relevant Business Systems, a client/server ERP software provider that focused on discrete manufacturing companies. Relevant was sold in 2006.
PwC: So you have been in the enterprise applications market for about four decades. What is new today?
PG: Indeed, I've been through many technology shifts—mainframes, minicomputers, microcomputers, client/server and, now, the cloud. In every single technology shift, one thing has stayed true. Customers want all the functionality they've enjoyed before, they want more of it, they want it faster, they want it cheaper, and they want it easier to use.
The functionality of the core packages is by and large the same, but the technologies in use are new. For instance, today, things are mobile, which is a strong pull for new features and use cases. There is also talk about social, which means that companies want to be more collaborative and more open with their vendors and their customers. Bottom line: mobile and collaborative features must be in the software because people are getting accustomed to them.
There is another new challenge. In the next 10 years, customers will hook to much more than just their own financial systems. With our solution, for example, they will need to hook into the corporate financial system. They will also need to hook to a number of configurators. Depending on who they are, many may need to hook to a number of quality control systems as well as to a variety of time and attendance systems.
On the AppExchange platform, they ask all the developers to develop in a certain way so solutions are more conducive to integration. You just cannot anticipate who will integrate to whom. Therefore, you must do more in your development than simply create APIs [application programming interfaces]. You must "harden your objects."
PwC: What does that mean?
PG: It means all the business logic is on the back end and every single file or table you develop is hardened and has the potential to be called by some other application. It means you have exposed all your fields in a manner that is easily accessible but the integrity of that particular table is maintained.
It's being done and, most importantly, it works. For example, when we hook to a system on the same platform, we can expect that objects in the other system are hardened and they're easy to access. We also know that we can easily add fields to their screens [interfaces] and they can add fields to our screens. These kinds of things are part of the new development paradigm that is defined around ease of integrations.
PwC: Software packages are large. Do you choose what is hardened in this way and what is not?
PG: That's exactly what we do. For example, we'll harden our sales order entry header and sales order entry line. We'll harden our purchase order, our engineering item, our bill of materials, and our project master file. Right now, we're in the process of hardening our work order. By the time we are done, we will have hardened more than 75 percent of our objects.
For the most part, you harden those things that are more likely to be called by somebody else. On the other hand, we do not need to harden the control record; no one needs to call a control record.
Importantly, hardening is not a need just for other software vendors. It is invaluable for the end customers. When customers want to build their ancillary apps and do their own customization on top of our system, the same principle holds.
For example, we have our own RMA [return merchandise authorization] module. We do it a certain way and it's tailored to our warranty system. However, customers might have their own RMA module that has a lot of their cost accounting built into the module and they would not want to lose that. They can and should be able to use their RMA module with their methods of cost accounting, yet they can access the objects in our system to make sure the supply-demand balance stays correct. That's the kind of thing that is going on and will go on more in the future. You need to build for that.
PwC: How are mobile trends influencing your strategies?
PG: I believe mobile trends are accelerating the push toward cloud [software as a service], as mobile development and usage are better suited for the cloud architecture. There are use cases we don't even know about that will push people to embrace cloud technology.
Mobile platforms are creating new energy around the user interface. We must really think about how the app is going to be used, which will be different from how it was or will be used on the desktop. This difference in usage is the other reason we are hardening the objects, giving users the freedom to create their own interfaces. Since there is integrity of logic, end customers can slap on another screen [interface] as best fits their work.
PwC: What is the impact of such developments on the design of your solutions?
PG: While the roles and needs may differ, they are all connected to the same ERP system. For example, if you look at a manufacturing organization, the receiving clerk, the person in the stock room, and the worker on the production floor usually have simple but specific needs to process an order, forward a receipt, deal with expiration dates, and so on.
Then, go to the other end of the spectrum, the C-level person who has analytical needs. That person probably has a large screen and is thinking in 15 different dimensions, because that is how he or she runs the business. As you go down from the C-level to the managers, they may have similar needs but fewer items on their desk.
Everybody had the same user interface 20 years ago. That is definitely different now. In the future, there will be Rootstock's complex screen and there will be Rootstock's simple screen. Customers can take their favorite third-party app, create new interfaces, and put them on top of ours and other applications. Users will develop their own interfaces in effect.
Five years from now, there will be tools for a power user who understands how work is flowing across the various roles and individuals, and who needs specific information to do his or her job more effectively. I believe those tools will superimpose on packages like ours.

This Lebanese recipe comes courtesy of Greg Malouf, master of modern Middle Eastern cuisine.
|Photo: Cheesy pull-apart bread recipe
Yoghurt Bread Dough
100 g (3 1⁄2 oz) haloumi, grated
50 g (2 oz) parmesan, grated
1 teaspoon dried mint
Olive oil
After the bread has finished proving for the first 2 hours, knock it back and knead in the cheeses and mint.
Preheat the oven to its highest temperature. Divide the dough into 12–14 walnut-sized balls and arrange them in rows on a greased baking tray. As they prove again, they will puff up and merge into one another. Brush with olive oil before baking for 15–20 minutes.
Tip onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
