At a recent Emery County Public Lands meeting the topic of the San Rafael Abandoned Mines Project was discussed. Luci Malin is the Abandoned Mine Program Manager and Jan Morse is over outreach and NEPA. Tony Gallegos is the Project Manager over the San Rafael Abandoned Mines Project.
Malin reported on the upcoming Abandoned Mine Reclamation Project. They are beginning the NEPA process to analyze what they might be doing in the San Rafael Swell Area. Malin stated that Chris Conrad from the BLM has been working closely with Tony Gallegos in getting this project ready to go.
This is a cooperative project between the BLM and the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program and the BLM is providing the funding.
There are 168 portals and five shafts that have been identified and impacts about 17 acres. They are only interested in physical safety, hazard mitigation and for these sites that means closing access to the mines. Most of these sites are on BLM managed land and some are on SITLA.
The project enviromental analysis will be complete in July, work will begin in August, and the projected estimate to complete this project is 13 weeks.
An informational open house will be held March 24 from 4-7 p.m. at the Museum of the San Rafael. There will be a two-three week comment period after the open house.

GDFD No. 28: A little tenderizin', down ya go
Ryan Lambert
December 05 2009 03:03PM
Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 28th game of the season on Dec. 5, 2009.
Well this is a bit of a test, eh?
The San Jose Sharks are, on paper, the most dangerous team in the NHL. The top line is terrifying, the secondary scoring is.. well, it's getting there now that Devin Steoguchi is back healthy, the defense is strong, the goaltending is stronger. They're well-coached, well-managed and well-prepared for the onslaught of anything the Calgary Flames could throw at them.
But on the other hand, the Calgary Flames are a bit of a bogey team for them, insofar as games in San Jose go. They are, for one reason or another, rather susceptible to losing to the Flames at the Shark Tank. Remember last year when San Jose didn't lose at home in regulation for 31 straight games over 11 months, taking the run all the way to mid-January? Remember who stopped them? It was Calgary. And in 2007-08, the Flames beat the Sharks in OT twice. So for the last four games in San Jose, Calgary's taken home six of a possible eight points, and the Sharks have settled for four. That's so far below their normal home record as to not be an outlier.
And hey, the Sharks are great at home again this year. Their one home regulation loss was three weeks ago to a little team from Chicago, and Flames fans know as well as anyone how dangerous that team is.
So no, tonight may not be the easiest of draws for the Flames — playing the Sharks never is — but it could be worse. They could be playing the Blackhawks at United Center.
The Calgary Flames (17-7-3 for 37 points. Tied for second in the West, first in the Northwest) and the San Jose Sharks (19-6-5 for 47 points. First in the West, first in the Pacific).
8 p.m. Mountain time and 10 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should .
HP Pavillion, San Jose, California.
Calgary is 10-2-3 on the road this year, and are 0-1 in their last one because Rene Bourque ruined the team's chemistry. The Sharks are 8-1-3 at home, and their only home regulation loss came to the tied-with-the-Flames Blackhawks, who I personally think are the best team in the league.
What (to hate about the Sharks)
The so-called HTML line — Heatley-Thornton-Marleau. Have you seen these guys play? It's not fair to the rest of the NHL. Thornton has 40 points, and 33 assists, from 30 games. Heatley has 19 goals and 33 points. Same stats for Marleau. That's 45-68-113 in 30 games from these guys. Cripes.
Their organizational system — It doesn't matter who's coaching (five different guys, to be exact), who's scoring, who's defending, who's goalkeeping. Since 2000-01, they have averaged 100.25 points per season. That's with a 73-point season in 2002-03. This year they're on pace to get 118. It's really incredible.
Evgeni Nabokov — This guy. Remember at some point last year we were all talking about how he might just be a bit past it after all these years? Yeah, not so much. Stats of 2.33/.921. They'd be well below league average in goals allowed if backup Thomas Greiss hadn't given up 14 in 286 minutes.
Because what else are you gonna do on a Saturday night? Enjoy the game and complain about the CBC's coverage in the comments section.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
Cannoli originated in Sicily, at the southern tip of Italy. Kind of like an Italian cheesecake in a tube, it is an essential part of Sicilian culture. Throughout the years cannoli has become as popular in America as they are in Italy.
Cannoli has two parts—the tube-shaped shells of fried pastry dough and a filling of sweet, creamy flavored ricotta. Cannoli range in size from "cannulicchi," no bigger than a little finger, to large diameter, cigar-sized proportions.
My recipe adds chocolate flavor to the traditional ricotta cream filling. While they take about an hour or so to make they're certainly worth it as a finale to a simple bowl of meatballs and spaghetti or a great Italian culinary feast. Wow! Now that's Italian!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ready In: 60 minutes
Yield: 10-12 Stuffed Cannoli
For the Shells:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons shortening
1 egg white (large egg)
3/4 cup red wine (inexpensive Chianti will do nicely)
1 1/2 quarts oil for deep frying
For the Filling:
1 1/2 pounds ricotta cheese
1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup Choclatique Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped, candied orange peel
1/4 cup rough chopped, roasted pistachio nuts
1/2 cup ground, roasted pistachio nuts
To Make the Cannoli Shells:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Blend in the shortening and egg white. Add the red wine one tablespoon at a time until the mixture forms a ball. Knead the dough just to bring it together. Cover and let rest for half an hour.
- Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375º F.
- Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 4 inch long ovals. Using a fork or pairing knife, poke holes in the ovals to prevent puffing.
- Place a metal cannoli tube onto the oval lengthwise and roll up with edges overlapping; seal with a dab of egg white.
- Fry cannoli shells 2 or 3 at a time in the hot oil. When golden brown and lightly blistered, remove from the oil to drain on paper towels. Remove tubes.
To Make the Cannoli Filling:
- In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder. Fold in the vanilla extract, chocolate chips, candied orange peel and chopped pistachios.
- Chill the ricotta mixture for at least half an hour before filling shells.
- Drain off any excess liquid and spoon the filling into a pastry bag.
- Carefully fill the cannoli shells and smooth off at the edges.
- Dip the open ends of the filled cannoli in the ground pistachios so that it clings to the cheese filling.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
ChefSecrets: The shells can be made a day or two ahead of time and held in an air tight container. For a creamier filling, replace 8 Oz. of the ricotta cheese with 8 Oz. of mascarpone cheese or cream cheese.

From City & State First Read's daybook:
11 a.m. – Mayor Michael Bloomberg announces a plan to fill 2,000 jobs at the Barclays Center, 620 Atlantic Ave., Brooklyn.Is that 2,000 positions or 2,000 full-time jobs? In 2005, they were proposing 400 jobs. The state's Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) estimated 1,120 full-time equivalent positions.
Presumably many of the jobs are low-skilled part-time jobs, with relatively low wages and benefits that differ significantly those accompanying full-time jobs.
State documentation
From the FEIS:
Arena employment is based on employment data provided by FCRC in March 2006. According to FCRC, there would be 230 full-time and 1,510 part-time workers at the arena. Full- and part-time jobs were converted to FTEs using data from the Wachovia Complex in Philadelphia, which is similar to the proposed arena. Based on the number of events scheduled for the complex in 2005, and general assumptions about the duration of the events, FTE employment would be approximately 1,120.
How many hours per week?
If there are 1,120 FTE arena jobs, subtract the 230 full-time jobs first, which leaves 890 FTE jobs for the 1,510 part-time workers to fill.
Then multiply 890 x 40 hours per week, and divide by 1,510. That means the part-time workers would average 23.6 hours per week.

Base pay for CEO Reed Hastings will jump 300% in 2013.
Jon Love
From a compensation perspective, the New Year will be a good one for Netflix Inc. CEO Reed Hastings and other top company managers.
Late last week in a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Netflix, No. 9 in the 2012 Internet Retailer Top 500 revealed that annual base compensation for Hastings will increase 80% to $4.5 million in 2013 from $2.5 million in 2012.
The biggest increase is in base salary. In 2013, Netflix will pay Hastings an annual base salary of $2 million, up 300% from a base of $500,000 in 2012. Hasting's annual compensation also includes $2 million in stock options, which remains the same.
Other Netflix top managers also will see a hefty increase in base pay next year, according to the SEC filing. The total compensation for chief product officer Neil Hunt will increase year over year 20% to $3 million from $2.5 million. Hunt's compensation includes a jump in annual base salary of 75% to $1.75 million from $1 million.
Annual base compensation for chief content officer Ted Sarandos will increase 42.9% to $4 million in 2013 from $2.8 million in 2012 in a package that includes an annual bump in salary of 120% to $2.2 million from $1 million.
Other top Netflix managers getting a pay raise in 2013 include chief financial officer David Wells and general counsel David Hyman. The annual base compensation will grow year over year 10% to $1.1 million from$1 million for Wells and 7.7% to $1.4 million from $1.3 million for Hyman.
In its filing Netflix didn't reveal any specific reasons for increasing the pay of some of its top corporate managers.
Netflix has yet to announce the specific date it will report its 2012 annual financials. For the fourth quarter Netflix projects net income could total $2 million or a loss of up to $13 million. The company didn't give guidance on total revenue but expected domestic paid streaming revenue to range from $581 million to $588 million, international streaming from $90 million to $100 million and domestic DVD subscriber revenue to range from $248 million to $255 million.

By getting involved in student organizations, students learn how to collaborate, communicate, lead, and practice sound financial skills. Many alumni cite their experiences with student organizations as having been critical to their career advancement. Job recruiters frequently seek student leaders for interviews because their companies recognize the value of participating in and leading organized group activities. http://www.purdue.edu/getinvolved
Fraternities and Sororities, founded at Purdue in 1875
Purdue boasts one of the nation's largest Greek systems, with approximately 5,000 student members holding membership in one of 46 men's fraternities or 29 women's fraternities and sororities. About 17% of Purdue's undergraduates are members of a general Greek letter organization. Since the founding of the Sigma Chi Fraternity in 1875, Greek letter organizations have maintained a steady and influential presence on Purdue's campus. Most growth in chapters and membership occurred between 1905 and 1960. Several of Purdue's most distinguished graduates are members of fraternities and sororities.
"Greek Life" is one of many campus leadership involvement opportunities at Purdue that help students make a large university seem smaller. Most Greek organizations offer housing and meal service for their members. Men's and women's fraternities provide friendship, intramural athletic competition, social activities, community service, and academic support for their members. Students develop a strong sense of belonging to their organization and loyalty to Purdue University through the Greek system. Membership is lifelong, and alumni activities are numerous at the national and local level. http://www.purdue.edu/greek
Cooperative housing, founded at Purdue in 1933
Purdue's cooperative housing system includes five houses for men and seven for women. All 12 houses operate on the principles of cooperative living with all residents working together to manage each house for the benefit of each other.
The houses in the cooperative system accommodate between 14 and 60 members. Cooperatives frequently have the highest average GPA on campus, above fraternities, sororities, and residence halls.
Social functions such as formals, barn dances, trade dinners, and theme parties allow students to interact with other members of cooperative houses, fraternities, sororities, and other campus organizations. All cooperative houses participate in at least one philanthropy per year that helps benefit charitable organizations. http://www.purduecooperatives.org

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Elmo residents again packed the town library to heat up the controversy surrounding the construction of a new fire station/city hall/community center. Controversy was ignited during the February town council meeting when discussion turned to the cost and size of the proposed structure.
Many residents felt the proposal for the new fire station/city hall was excessive. There were many misconceptions concerning the number of truck bays that would be built into the new fire station/city hall for a town the size of Elmo. Because the preliminary plans showed six bay doors, the residents were informed that the new structure would contain six bays. Following questioning, the council informed the public that the number of doors was indeed six, but those doors would allow trucks to drive through the building for access to the three truck bays.
Other points for discussion were the cost of the building construction and the materials used for that construction; the number of bays actually needed by the town; the cost of equipment to outfit the building; the cost of the solar panels that are proposed for heating the building; the need for a community center attached to the fire station/city hall; and the amount of the additional assessment that the residents of Elmo would be required to pay for many years.
Those same feelings and comments were re-aired during the public hearing held on March 8. The Elmo Town Library was packed, with twice as many residents attending as there were chairs on which to sit. Gil Rand, of the Architectural Coalition in Provo, gave a presentation. He is the architect for the project.
Rand began by informing the residents that he had been contacted five years ago by Elmo Mayor Daryl Wilcox concerning the proposal for a new building complex. He told the group of the many projects in the area that he has worked on and welcomed them to check out those projects.
The preliminary design work for the project was to draw plans for a fire station with three bays, office space, a cooking area, storage, and locker room. This design must contain a vault as the city offices were proposed to be housed in the facility. He was also given a figure for the proposed budget.
Rand designed the building and subsequently was asked to make changes due to the grant money available. All discussion, meetings, and changes were made during open public meetings and nothing was done behind closed doors. He stressed the point that during the past five years, since the inception of this project, the public has always been a consideration, but there has been little input from the citizens. He also stated that the work he has presented was what he was asked to do, and he did not add anything that he was not asked to by the town council.
"I am licensed by the State of Utah to design buildings. The buildings I design must meet the codes adopted by the state, and therefore I am required to be aware of any code changes. I can tell you that since these plans were drawn, the state has adopted the 2003 International Building Codes, and there may be more changes required on your plans," said Rand.
Following his presentation, Elmo residents began questioning Rand concerning the construction and materials planned for the project. One resident felt that solar power was too experimental for the town to consider for the proposed building. Another resident suggested that a steel building would be less expensive to construct as opposed to the concrete block and frame construction of the plans now being considered.
Other comments were that the city hall portion of the building was not needed; the bathrooms should be down-sized; and one resident felt that the recreation room portion of the proposed project needs to have the ceiling raised to accommodate the youth in Elmo for basketball.
Councilman Dennis Jones gave a breakdown of the project costs. For the construction portion of the project, after grant monies were applied, the residents of Elmo would see a $6.15 month increase in their utility bill from the town. As far as operation and maintenance, the increase would be $3.12, for a total increase of $9.27 per water connection, to fund the project in its original form.
Councilman Kirt Rasmussen stated, "Just because Elmo is a small town, we don't have to settle for something that is scaled back. We need to realize that a city building represents who we are, and our town should look nice. This building would do that for our town. The council has been proactive with this project in planning for the future needs of Elmo.
"There has been a lot of talk about the money being proposed for this. The residents of Elmo need to get involved in city and county meetings and projects on a more regular basis. Most people don't care enough to get involved until something threatens their pocketbook. This project has been in the works for five years, and people are just beginning to get involved. You should also be concerned with the other entities in this county. How are they spending your money?" said Rasmussen, "I'm for this project for the future of Elmo."
Councilman Bill Reed stated that he felt a franchise tax would be a better way to fund this project. A franchise tax of 6 percent could be charged to each utility that does business in Elmo. Other council members felt that the cost would still be passed on to residents of Elmo, only now with a middleman taking a cut also.
Council person Betty Labrum was adamant in her statement that this project was extravagant for Elmo. "This project needs down-sizing," stated Labrum.
Mayor Wilcox added, "We are planning for 30 years down the road. I don't like debt for the town, but the others sources of funding that we explored did not pan out. We will try to get the best deal that we can from the CIB. This project, and the expected funding sources, is a good deal for Elmo. I suggest we do this project, as it stands, with all the help we can get from the CIB, while they are willing to help."
Additional comments from residents: seniors on fixed incomes cannot afford this; is this legal: can't take on the debt; not enough sidewalks; inadequate fire equipment presently; reliance on Cleveland for firefighting help; if we don't do something, we will look like Desert Lake; need a fire station, but not a town hall; don't put our children and grandchildren in debt; and problems with the location. The comments that came from the residents that were against the project were countered with just as many comments from residents that were in favor of the project. Half of the residents present were in favor of continuing the process to acquire the building. Their reasons were: Elmo needs to be more independent from Cleveland; storage of city records is needed; the county will purchase a fire truck if we have a facility to house it; and Elmo needs to look to the future and entice people to come to the town.
Several hours into the public hearing, Labrum moved to void the entire project. With no second, her motion died. Reed then moved to submit a down-sized plan to the CIB for funding. His motion received no second and died also. Mayor Wilcox moved to submit the existing plans to the CIB, see what percentage of funding can be obtained, hold another public hearing to discuss the down-sizing, and go from there. That motion was seconded and approved.

Washington, D.C.
IntroductionWashington, D.C., capital of the United States, coextensive (since 1878, when Georgetown became a part of Washington) with the District of Columbia (2000 pop. 572,059), on the Potomac River; inc. 1802. The city is the center of a metropolitan area (1990 pop. 3,923,574) extending into Maryland and Virginia. With the city of Baltimore to its north in Maryland, it forms a consolidated metropolitan area of some 6.7 million people. Washington is the legislative, administrative, and judicial center of the United States but has little industry; its business is government, and hundreds of thousands are so employed in the metropolitan area. The city is also a major tourist attraction and a cultural center.
Washington has long been a gateway for African Americans emigrating from the South, and since the 1960s has had a (now diminishing) black majority. Many citizens live in poverty, and social problems have been exacerbated by the transient nature of the governmental workforce and the District's lack of political power.
Transportation facilities include a subway system that connects the city with many suburbs. The main rail and air hubs are Union Station and Ronald Reagan Washington National and Dulles International airports (both in Virginia). Nearby military installations include Fort McNair, Fort Myer, Andrews Air Force Base, and Bolling Air Force Base.

Great shoes!
"These shoes are so cute and so comfy (which is sometimes a difficult combination). I did re-order these in a half-size smaller than what I normally wear (8.5 instead of 9) because my heel kept coming out of the larger ones. These are great shoes!"

super comfy
"I love these shoes! I wore them so much in the last 6 months that I've completely warn them out. I work with kids so I'm always on my feet and these have been comfy since day one. I also like that they're simple enough that they work with most of my outfits."

Canucks TV discuss 'Moneyball'
Cam Charron
November 24 2011 02:06PM
I tuned into Sportsnet last night a few minutes before the game started and one of those Canucks TV segments was trolling along before the game. I don't typically watch those because there's usually nothing in my own specific interest that pops up, but I happened to tune in mentally because I saw Canucks assistant General Manager Laurence Gilman on-screen as host Barry MacDonald asked him a question about Moneyball. The full interview is up at Canucks.Com but I've quoted the relevant sections of the interview pertaining to the interest of this blog and its readers.
BM: "Were you intrigued by Moneyball when it came out? Did the whole Billy Beane thing intrigue you and was that ammo starting to encroach into hockey, even though it was before the lockout, but was your mind whirling in that direction at all before we ever heard about Moneyball?"
LG: "Well the book was written many years ago and I read it when it came out. And I think there is no question that we practice a certain element of that style of management. We look at..."
BM: "Statistical..."
LG: "For sure. And we look at maximizing the efficiency of the make-up of our roster, what roles each player plays in respect to his level of contribution whether that's minutes played on the penalty-killing unit, faceoffs won, shots taken, goaltending, and you know, we look at lots of different attributes and a lot of different elements in terms of how to make up a team.
I'm not surprised that analytics have become as big as they have in the public's eye, but they're used in every aspect of professional sport: baseball, basketball, football... and hockey."
First off, what Gilman says in here is completely contradictory to Mike Gillis saying "applying sabermetrics to hockey... doesn't work" in a November interview from Iain MacIntyre at the Vancouver Sun.
However, I've made my theories on the Canucks using "Moneypuck" tactics well-known, and I think that if this wasn't a sure thing before the David Booth trade, the Booth acquisition, buying-low on a player with a low plus/minus despite good shot numbers, is very symbolic of the sort of stuff that Billy Beane and Paul DePodesta do in Moneypuck. Beane, in this case, is personified in the Canucks organization by Mike Gillis, the former highly-regarded prospect who never panned out and DePodesta would be Gilman, the non-hockey intruder into a hockey front office with all his book-learnin'.
Gilman helps out Gillis on salary cap issues, and, after this interview, I think he may have a little bit more influence on player personnel. For one, he was willing to admit "for sure" when asked about whether the Canucks practiced statistical analysis. Credit to MacDonald for interjecting here: you'll notice that he knocked Gilman slightly off-script.
Any team can talk about maximizing efficiency of the roster make up, but I think this is one thing the Canucks practice better than most. One of their rotating first-line wingers was an undrafted ECHL prospect. The Canucks found a home for Maxim Lapierre last season after two teams couldn't stand to have him around. The defense led the league in goals against last season despite not having a single superstar on the blue line and this team, more than any team in the National Hockey League, match up their players vis-a-vis the position of the faceoff rather than the players the opposition sent out.
There will be a lot of statistical naysayers who claim that hockey is not "baseball" as if baseball is the only sport that truly lends itself to statistical analysis. That is not true at all, and Gilman tells this to MacDonald and the audience that numbers are used pretty much everywhere. Interpreting all these different elements of sport is crucial to building team success, whether its psychology or numbers, and Mike Gillis has surrounded himself with several smart people from different backgrounds.
Since the Canucks can't use Franceso Aquilini's deep pockets to buy all the players, why not use those extra resources in the un-capped boardroom, spending money on scouting and analytical techniques? It's clear that they do take advantage of their financial situation to give them as much info as possible. Whether they choose to follow numerical clues or not is up to them, but it never hurts for anybody to know as much about a stock as is available before they invest.
November 24 2011, 03:51PM
Interesting. Booth and Higgins were both acquisitions the math liked a lot as well. Be interesting to know if that was a coincidence or not.
Moneypuck sure helped em when trading for Ballard and signing Marco Sturm didn't it..
November 24 2011, 09:49PM
Nothing is a sure bet. Ballard played top pairing minutes on PHX and FLA before landing in VAN.
As for Sturm...he played a couple of games in a Canucks jersey and then was flipped for Booth, so Im not sure that can be construed as some kind of failure.

|In response to Re: Venting lavatory sinks
: I am remodelling my bathroom and the position of the vanity basins is to be moved. I thought I could just drain the new basins into the same drain that the shower and bath go into but looking around your site it seems that this is more complex. I had never heard of venting until I checked out your site! Can someone advise me on how I should do this?
: The bathroom is on the top floor. At present the bath tub drain runs about 10' sloped horizontally, the shower drain runs about 5' - they both are 1 1/2" ABS pipes which join in a Y into a 2" drain which has a 2" vent pipe to the roof which eventually T's into a 3" pipe out through the roof (many other 2" and 3" pipes T into this as well). The existing vanity basins have their own vent pipe but I can't get to this because of the joists.
: On the same wall that the new basins are to be installed there is another 3" vent pipe but I am not sure what it is venting as there is no bathroom beneath this.
: So my questions:
: Hope you can help,
1. Is it ok to run the new vanities into the same drain as the bath and shower?
Good Luck. e-plumber

Hot but hurt!!!!
"I loved these when i saw them and was pleased when i pulled them out of the box but quickly was disappointed when i put them on. The shoes are extremely tight and cut into your skin and strangle your toes. Maybe i need to break them in more but overall theyre some sexy boots. My husband loves them. The 10 feels like a 9 1/2 . Ive got to break them in because they are just too sexy not to wear."

I'm TALL now!!
"Ordered these shoes in grey and they are really good looking shoes. I've gotten accustomed to having booties with zippers so I was a little taken aback when I saw that I have to actually lace these up (haha!). Here are the details:Sizing: I wear a 9-9.5M shoe. I ordered a 9.5 and they fit fine. Not too small or too big.Comfort level: I was hoping that because of the platform, these would have some additional cushion. That is not the case. I may have to buy some ball-of-the-foot insert because they are hard shoes. This is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5.Heel height: it's a very high heel with a high platform. Still a little awkward to walk in, but by the end of day, it was fine. Mostly fine. I found myself losing my balance a couple of times, but it could have been me.Hope this helps. I'm keeping the shoes and buying inserts."

(BPT) - It's not cancer, accidents or even old age – the leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States is cardiovascular disease, which includes heart attack and stroke. The good news is that this killer is highly preventable and controllable. By taking the right steps and working closely with your doctor, you can help prevent heart attack and stroke at any age.
Bestselling author Dr. Michael Ozner, a board-certified cardiologist, a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and of the American Heart Association, and medical director of Wellness and Prevention at Baptist Health South Florida, knows when it comes to your heart, a proactive approach is best. Here are some of his top tips to help you start your own cardiac makeover:
Eat the Mediterranean way
A Mediterranean diet is ideal for heart health because it mainly consists of fruits, vegetables, olive oil, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fish and poultry. It is low in saturated fat and contains more of the healthy fats that support heart function. When embracing a heart-healthy diet, it's also best to limit sugar, salt, red meat, trans fats or processed foods.
Drink to heart health
If you drink alcohol, the key is to do so in moderation. Consume no more than one drink for a woman and two drinks for a man in a 24-hour period. One drink equals 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of spirits.
Catch heart health with fish oil
Fish oil supplements are clinically proven to support cardiovascular health. Since the typical American doesn't consume enough omega-3s from healthy food sources, a quality fish oil is the best option to ensure adequate intake. Remember, not all fish oil supplements are created equal – when shopping, get a certificate of analysis from the company and compare results for purity, freshness and potency. For example, Nordic Naturals provides this information to customers, which includes guidelines from leading organizations on toxins, oxidation and heavy metals.
Know your biomarkers
Comprehensive blood tests by a health care professional reveal important biomarkers that can help you understand your heart health and where to make improvements. Biomarkers go beyond standard cholesterol tests to reveal hidden risks. When it comes to heart health, knowledge is power, and when you and your doctor know your biomarkers, you both can come up with an intervention and therapy plan to correct any abnormalities.
Step up for heart health
Make it your goal to walk 10,000 steps each day – the equivalent of 60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise. Track your progress with a pedometer. It can become addictive to check that little device and see the number increase. If you're not very physically active, start slow and work your way up. Start by walking at least 30 minutes per day and boost your steps by walking during your lunch break, taking the stairs rather than the elevator, and walking in place while watching TV.
Melt away stress
Stress is an enemy of heart health, but we all know that it's difficult to avoid stress completely. That's why it's important to understand your personal stress triggers and learn new ways to manage them. Retrain your mind to see daily stressors for what they are and learn to calm yourself down in healthy ways. Practice relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, visualization, exercise and music. Breathing calmly is one of the simplest – yet best – ways to reduce stress and stay in control. Don't forget to get adequate sleep each night too.
Heart health should be a priority for every American at any age, and with a few important tips from experts like Dr. Ozner, giving yourself a cardiac makeover has never been easier. For further information, read Dr. Ozner's bestselling book "Heart Attack Proof – A Six Week Cardiac Makeover For a Lifetime of Optimal Health."

Scotland's most capped prop, known throughout the game as 'Chunk', ended a 65-cap international career in November and will retire after 285 club appearances, versus the team whom he marked his double century against in 2008.
"It's a massive day for Chunk, he's Edinburgh through and through, and played a record number of games," said interim Edinburgh Rugby assistant coach, Duncan Hodge.
"It'll be an emotional day for him, but it comes to us all and it's been business as usual for the team.
"This is a must win game as we need continue to raise our levels of performance and put down some building blocks for next season.
"We're playing a tough side with some very experienced players but we're in front of our home crowd in the last game of the season and you've just got to win those games."
The club have named just two changes to the startling line-up that faced Treviso in the previous round, with the return of double award winner, Greig Tonks (Player and Players' Player of the season) and prop Willem Nel (Best Newcomer) a welcome boost to the side seeking to end the season on a high.
The only other change is to the bench, which sees Dundee High FP back-row, Richie McIver, handed the chance to make his first professional appearance since being invited to train with the squad last month.
More to follow…
Form: Edinburgh Rugby have slipped to successive defeats in the RaboDirect PRO12, to Connacht and Treviso, whilst they have won just one of their last six fixtures at Murrayfield in all competitions. Dragons' 30-24 victory over Munster last time out ended a four match losing run in the competition. The Dragons have not won back to back fixtures in the PRO12 since March 2012. The Men from Gwent's only away win this season in the tournament came on a visit to Zebre in February. Edinburgh's only victory over the Dragons in their last seven meetings was 22-15 at Murrayfield on 22 April 2011.
The teams:
Edinburgh: 15 Greig Tonks, 14 Dougie Fife, 13 Nick de Luca, 12 Matt Scott, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Harry Leonard, 9 Greig Laidlaw (c), 8 Netani Talei, 7 Hamish Watson, 6 Stuart McInally, 5 Grant Gilchrist, 4 Sean Cox, 3 Willem Nel, 2 Ross Ford, 1 Allan Jacobsen.

How-To Geek
Get Real Multitasking on Android With These 8 Floating Apps
Android has decent multitasking, but the missing piece of the puzzle is the ability to have multiple apps on-screen at the same time – particularly useful on a larger tablet. Floating apps fill this need.
Floating apps function as always-on-top windows, allowing you to watch videos, browse the web, take notes, or do other things while using another app. They demonstrate how Android's interface is more flexible than iOS and the Modern UI in Windows.
Two popular floating browsers are Floating Browser Flux (free) and OverSkreen (paid, doesn't yet function on Android Jelly Bean).
With these apps, you can use a browser while using another app, open multiple floating browser windows and view multiple web pages at the same time, or both.
Video Players
Video players are an obvious use case for pop-up apps, especially on a larger tablet. You could watch a video while browsing the web, doing your email, or using any other app on your tablet or phone. DicePlayer, BSPlayer, and Super Video are all free floating video players. Stick It! is a paid app, but it also supports YouTube videos in addition to local video files.
Want to take notes while reading a web page, PDF, or any other type of document? Switching back and forth between a note-taking app and the main app you're using can be tedious. Instead, try hovernote – a floating notes app that hovers over the other apps you're using. It's a paid app, but there aren't any free floating notes apps on Google Play at the moment.
Chat & IRC
Old-school desktop chat programs like ICQ, AIM, MSN, Pidgin, Trillian, and the others didn't force you into a full-screen chat mode, but most apps on your tablet do. LilyPad gives you a floating chat window, allowing you to chat on Google Talk, Facebook, and Windows Live Messenger (MSN). The developers promise future support for AIM, Yahoo, and Jabber.
If you're a geek who still uses IRC for your chatting, try FloatIRC.
The default Android calculator app looks a bit ridiculous in full-screen mode on a tablet. Try AirCalc or Float Calculator instead – both are free and allow you to use a calculator while using another app.
Any Widget
While floating apps are useful, the selection is currently a bit limited. For example, there's no floating app that shows your Gmail or a Pandora music player. However, many apps provide widgets, which are normally attached to your home screen. A floating app like Floating Banner (free) or Floating Widget (paid) allows you to turn any widget into a floating app. If you can't find a floating app that meets your needs, you can find a widget and turn it into a floating app.
AirTerm gives you a floating Linux terminal. If you want to SSH into your Linux server or use Android's terminal (particularly useful on rooted devices), AirTerm will allow you to do it in a floating window. It's a paid app, but it's the only one of its kind on Google Play.
System Stats
Apps like Cool Tool (free) and PerfMon (paid) give you a floating window with information about your Android device's system stats – resource usage and everything else you might want to know. If you like seeing this stuff, you can see it all the time.
Android developers who want to create their own floating apps can use StandOut, an open-source library for creating floating apps.

A great and useful article after a long time. Thanks Chris.
I will have to try those video players. Not sure how usefull they will be on my Nexus 7 though.
Any tips for a better YouTube? Currently I watch in the browser with flash side-loaded because the stock app sucks so bad!
I really prefer to watch YouTube on my iPad right now using mctube or jasmine. Seems odd that YouTube is a Google company and it functions so poorly on their OS!
I'm inclined to believe that the problem with the youtube app is hardware specific, works wonderfully on my Samsung galaxy s3 (jelly bean) and on my asus transformer tf101 (ICS) but pants on my wifes xperia arc s
The whole point of having a tablet is to take care of little odds and ends. Why would you want to multi-task on a processor that can barely handle 2 apps?
Some tablets have powerful processors, and some people with said tablets might want to take advantage of that. For example: the Nexus 7 with its NVidia Tegra 3 processor.
The best floating calculator (and the best calculator overall in the Market) is Calculator++ – I'm surprised the article doesn't mention this
Popcorn Video player works wonders as a popup

Umm I dunno if this is the wrong place to post something like this so place don't snap at me if it's wrong,
and also this may be a spoiler if you haven't finished the series..
Anyway, I have a question about Nannully's ability,or rather inability, to walk.
He inability to see and walk were just phsycological right? Caused by the influence of geass or whatever.
So when she overcame the geass and got her sight back,shouldn't she be able to walk now as well?
If it's a stupid question don't get mad lolz xD

Yes, yes and yes
"Oh, how I love these shoes. I was worried about the size, but ordered anyway. They were a little snug, so I used the old blowdryer and sock trick (which works on suede, but not leather). Worked like a charm. These are so cute! Many compliments. I also disagree with a review that stated the heel looked cheap -- it does not. I love the unique indigo-purplish color. Fabulous."

"I originally chose the other color, purple cause it had the gold heels but then I found out they also had it in blue. Recently I've been in love with blue/electric blue/royal blue. It's just such a nice color and with the details in the heel I had to order them.When I got them, I was definitely surprised at how much more I liked the blue over the purple! the gold heel was not as nice as I had imagined but this blue is FABULOUS. I love it! I love the pop of color and the hint of detail in the heel that you cannot really see unless you actually go and notice it.It's surprisingly very comfortable too. I walked around in it and I think the suede makes it softer on your feet compared to another material. I definitely decided to keep the blue. I like the height and how it's not super high."

Super cute & comfy too
"I was looking for a pair of cobalt/indigo heels to match a dress for a work event and found these in the clearance section at my local DSW. I immediately fell for them! Besides the suede being pretty and soft, the shimmer material on the heel is a nice added surprise. For a higher heel, they are actually comfortable too. Might have to buy some inserts to make them comfortable for an extended period of time but they are keepers! :)"

"I normally wear a 7.5 W, but when those aren't an option I go with 8M. When they arrived they were too tight in the toe box but the length of the shoe was fine so I exchanged them for an 8W. I walked around the house in them and they were quite comfortable.The color of the suede is beautiful in person, the perfect pop of color to wear with jeans or black pants for the winter season.One commenter stated that the fabric covered heel looked cheap; I disagree. It is a black fabric with purple dots of sparkle on it. When the heel is on the ground you honestly can't tell that the fabric is all that different than the rest of the shoe. It looks more like it is black leather than anything else. Suede covered heels are a pain, so I actually prefer that they chose to use another fabric."

CU-Boulder's Jennie Smoly Caruthers Biotechnology Building this week received recognition for its sustainability features.
The facility received the "Best Green Institutional Building" award in the 2013 Boulder Valley Green Building Awards, presented by the Colorado Green Building Guild and the Boulder County Business Report.
"This is an outstanding example of green design in a building type that is usually considered an 'energy hog,' " the guild stated in the award description. "The building consolidates many high-energy-use campus laboratories into a single, energy-efficient building."
The biotechnology building is one of the few lab buildings in the country that is Platinum, the highest possible rating within the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, certification system. The 336,800-square-foot facility opened in April 2012 on CU-Boulder's east campus.
It is 30 percent more energy and water efficient than recently built buildings with a similar function. It features an array of ground-mounted solar panels; evaporative cooling; daylight harvesting, lighting controls and LED technology; energy-efficient freezer compressors and lab exhaust fume hoods; low-flow plumbing; and more.
The Colorado Green Building Guild awards were presented on June 12 at the Boulder Theater as part of the Boulder County Business Report's annual BoulderEarth Conference. Spanning eight categories that include residential, commercial, remodels, new construction, and more, the awards honor "interesting, dynamic entries worthy of recognition for enlightenment, creativity and leadership."

College Funding Options for Grandparents
One of the greatest gifts you can give your grandchild is financial help with his or her college education. According to a 2003 survey by AIG SunAmerica Mutual Funds, 54 percent of grandparents were already helping pay college costs or planned on doing so for their grandchildren. Still, the task can be daunting and financial planners say many grandparents don't realize the most effective ways of going about it. Fortunately, we live in a society that values higher education, and there are more options than ever for ways to put your grandchildren through college without sacrificing a comfortable retirement to do it.
Above all else, you must make your own retirement planning a priority. There is an ever-increasing availability of programs to help kids pay for college, whether it be through colleges, community organizations or the government. Students can also work while they go to school and save money by living at home. Grandparents' options are more limited. You may not know it, but financial aid is based on need, not grades. There are several applications and comprehensive guides available to help students of any grade point average pay for college, including FAFSA, Student Aid on the Web, NextStudent, FinAid and FastWeb. With all of this help available to your grandchildren, make sure your own needs are met before committing to the responsibility of putting them through college.
Once you have determined that you are able to provide your grandchildren with money for college, the least complicated option is to give it in the form of cash or securities. The government allows each grandparent to give away (free of estate or gift-tax liability) up to $11,000 per grandchild annually, or $22,000 per grandchild if both grandparents contribute. However, there are a few drawbacks to this method. For one thing, even $22,000 a year may not be enough money to cover your grandchild's education. Private colleges, for instance, often charge well over $30,000 a year in tuition and fees. Secondly, if you give the money directly to your grandchild, he or she may not be qualified to receive as much financial aid. You'll also have to make sure the money is spent on tuition and other college expenses rather than something it wasn't intended for, like a new car or an over-the-top spring break vacation!
Another option is to pay your grandchild's tuition directly. One advantage to this is that by paying the money directly to the university, you can contribute as much as necessary without it counting as part of the annual $11,000 gift exemption. Giving money to the school yourself will also ensure that it is spent on exactly what it is intended for. The only real drawback of this is that it may reduce the amount of any financial aid offered.
Investing is also an option. If you are earning income, you can open a Coverdell education savings account (formerly the Education IRA) for a grandchild under the age of 18 and contribute up to $2,000 a year. If you don't have earned income, you can always give the money to your children to open an account. You can direct the investments as you choose, as the funds can be used for public and private elementary, as well as college education. Like any investment, however, there is a risk of losing money. There is also a limit on how much can be contributed to the account annually, and once it is deposited, the money and any earnings belong to your grandchild, which may affect the amount of financial aid that he or she is eligible to receive.
If you are a grandparent raising younger grandchildren, you may want to consider opening what is known as a 529 plan. Named after Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, 529 plans are state-sponsored savings plans that are designed specifically to help parents and grandparents finance education expenses. While the proceeds can only be used for education, one of these plans can be opened and contributed to by anyone. 529 plans also offer significant tax benefits. Currently, earnings grow tax deferred from federal income tax and often state tax, and withdrawals will remain free of tax through at least 2010. There are no income restrictions, and more than $200,000 can be invested per grandchild. Another added benefit of 529 plans is that you, not your grandchildren, remain in control of the funds, yet the money doesn't count toward your estate for estate tax purposes. Like mutual funds, these plans are vulnerable to swings in performance and potential high investment fees, but they remain a popular option for parents and grandparents alike.
Before you consider opening a 529 plan or begin to weigh other options more seriously, be sure to get as much information about grants and scholarships as you can. Any amount of money your grandchildren are awarded in financial aid will put less of a burden on you. The best time to start researching possible grants and scholarships is during your grandchild's junior year in high school. Most of them have deadlines and require a lot of paperwork, including applications and sometimes recommendations from teachers. It is also important to note that information on college funding, filing paperwork and tracking applications is always free - always. If you find a Web site or company that charges a fee to provide these services, it probably can't be trusted. Don't pay for something you can do just as easily yourself!
