A look back at the life of 'The Cat'
Bert Williams is a man recognised by all as one of football's greatest ever goalkeepers.
He was born in Bradley, Bilston on the 31st January, 1922.
On leaving school he played for Wolverhampton works side, Thompson's.
At that time he was working in a factory in Great Bridge but his goalkeeping talents were spotted by the Walsall manager of that time, Andy Wilson and, at the age of 15, Bert joined the Fellows Park ground staff.
Former Birmingham and England goalkeeper, Harry Hibbs, took over the reins at Walsall within a year of Bert's arrival and it wasn't to be a long wait for the youngster before he found himself in the Saddlers first team at just 16 years of age.
Sadly, the arrival of the Second World War brought about a temporary halt to Bert's progress. He served in the RAF seeing a lot of the world, and he also found time to play for his country in two Victory internationals against Wales and France, as well as turning out as a guest player for Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.
He had decided that he would sign for Chelsea but when Wolves came in with a £3,500 offer to Walsall for his services, he decided that he and his wife Evelyn would be happier staying in their native Black Country. So, in September 1945, Bert Williams signed for Wolves.
He made his debut on the same August day in 1946 as his former Walsall team mate, Johnny Hancocks, against an Arsenal team who were routed 6-1 by a rampant Wolves side. In his first season at Molineux, Bert missed only three games as Wolves narrowly missed out on the Championship finishing in third position after slipping up in their last game against Liverpool.
The following season saw Wolves finish fifth before, in the 1948/49 campaign, he won his first honours in the game with an FA Cup triumph. After he had defied the might of Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final and replay, Bert was a member of the side that was victorious over Leicester City in the Wembley Final.
This was followed by a call up to the full England squad and he replaced Frank Swift to play against the French in Paris just three weeks after picking up his FA Cup winners medal. In the November of that year he faced the World Cup holders Italy in front of a 71,000 crowd at White Hart Lane. His skill and daring defied the Italians and not only helped his country to a 2-0 victory, but also earned him the nickname of 'The Cat', a title bestowed upon him by the Italian press who were in raptures over his performance.
Bert was an England ever-present for the next two years and he played in the English World Cup campaign of 1950 after just missing out on domestic honours with Wolves who finished as runners-up in the Championship.
After the World Cup disappointment Bert had a pretty miserable season with Wolves as they slumped to 14th in the league and were denied the chance of a Wembley return when they were defeated by Newcastle in an FA Cup semi-final replay at Huddersfield. Also, injury cost him his England place and he was replaced by Birmingham's Gil Merrick.
But Bert was to bounce back in some style for both club and country.
A healthy third placed finish in 1952/53 was followed by Wolves lifting their first title the following season, pipping West Bromwich Albion to the honour.
He also regained his England place in December, 1954, and went on to play in five of the following six games. He played a major part in the famous Molineux floodlit friendlies and the huge crowds marvelled at his goalkeeping expertise.
Bert played in the following three seasons after Wolves' Championship win and the team finished second, third and sixth respectively. He retired from the game at the end of the 1956/7 season his last match for the club ending in disappointment and a 4-0 beating as Wolves slumped to Aston Villa.
On retiring from the game he opened a sports shop in Bilston and later a sports centre in the town.
Living in Shifnal in Shropshire he continued to look as remarkably fit as he did as a player, long into his retirement.
Bert remained a keen follower of Wolves' fortunes, in particular the goalkeepers, and stayed in regular contact with the club's glovemen such as Mike Stowell, Matt Murray and Wayne Hennessey.
He also spent the final years of his life embarking on an incredible fundraising challenge, raising over £150,000 for the Alzheimer's Society, in tribute to his wife Evelyn, who passed away in 2002.
In 2009 Bert was named as one of the inductees into the Wolves' Hall of Fame, and in 2010 he became 'Buckingham Bert' as he received an MBE from the Queen.

In the great Northwest where I live, I met a mountain man and he knew how to get many things done with very little resources. He had almost nothing to work with, but accomplished great things. Whether the task was to build a fire underwater or stop a waterfall from falling, it seemed he could take care of it. I was so amazed to see the things he could do, I finally asked him how he did it. He told me that a long time ago, he had found a magical solution to nearly all challenges that came along.
He said it was all contained in a single, ancient word that had mystic powers. When you understand the meaning of the word, it unleashes immense strength and abilities; it makes your mind more clear; it makes your imagination run wild with ideas. Well, of course, I could hardly contain myself and I just had to know what this powerful magic was. I pleaded with him to tell me and he finally agreed. He said the word is, 'YAGODDAWANNA'.
In order to accomplish anything, whether it is small or big, easy or difficult, trivial or of utmost importance, in order to be successful, you've got to want to do it. To earn good grades, you gotta wanna earn them. To become an Eagle Scout, ya godda wanna be one.
The main reason people don't succeed at something is because they don't really want it bad enough. By really wanting something, you come up with ideas, make plans, and then do it. Remember, to do something YaGoddaWanna do it.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

text: blog postsRobert Bruno, expert on the labor movementNov 19, 2012 11:45 amBusinessGovernmentShare on FacebookTweetEmailImagesRobert Bruno is a professor of labor and employment relations at the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois. In an interview with News Bureau business and law editor Phil Ciciora, Bruno, also the director of the Labor Education Program at the U. of I. campus in Chicago, discusses what to expect from the labor movement in the wake of President Obama's decisive re-election. Organized labor delivered critical votes in swing states for President Obama's re-election. What does that mean? The labor turnout for Obama was 65 percent and those numbers were higher in some of the battleground states. In fact, it's probably the highest spread for a Democratic candidate since Lyndon Johnson was elected in 1964, and it exceeds the margin during both of Bill Clinton's White House runs. So this was certainly a substantial effort on labor's part to get out the vote. What I find interesting is that, post-election, there's been a certain hold-the-president's-feet-to-the-fire approach from labor, which is a vast difference from what happened four years ago. There was very little public organizing in the aftermath of the 2008 election. So it seems as though the national federation has learned from past disappointments, and they do not seem to be in a compromising mood over certain issues like entitlements, the need for increased tax revenue and a jobs bill. The big three of entitlements – Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid – are being tipped as playing a major role in "fiscal cliff" negotiations with Republicans. Should labor leaders be worried about the president softening his position on entitlements after making numerous campaign promises to the contrary? Well, he already has gone wobbly on entitlements before, specifically during the debt-ceiling negotiations during the summer of 2011. But Obama is conscious of the support he has received from labor, and he understands that they are organizing around preserving programs that working-class people rely on. And the political alignment isn't such that it allows for much room for compromise on these issues. So I think there would be significant opposition if there were any deals involving the big three or surrendering on raising tax rates on the wealthy. If there were even a hint of a grand bargain that shifted burdens onto workers or that harmed entitlements, labor would hold lawmakers accountable. Labor seemingly made itself absolutely indispensable to Democrats in the battleground states. Does this signal a renewal of political strength? Well, there's revitalization and then there's full recovery. Labor did very well in this election. In addition to the president, it backed a number of successful Democratic senators, and helped add allies in the House. It defeated anti-union legislation in California, although it fell short on a pro-collective bargaining measure in Michigan. But it's also true that Republicans gained ground in adding governors. With the exception of California, which has elected a Democratic super-majority, and wining the statehouse in Minnesota, political officials who are hostile to labor still predominantly run state governments, including in Wisconsin, where Republicans retook the senate. But on balance, I do think there is a renewed sense of influence. The other big labor-related story is a potential worker strike at Wal-Mart on Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year. What does that say about the labor movement when it feels emboldened enough to take on such a retail behemoth? It's less about being emboldened than it is with labor's experiment in organizing hard-to-organize workers. It shows that labor has been trying to come up with a structure that's contemporary, one that fits with the modern economy, with how millions of people are working. But certainly, if you feel as though you hold some political influence, you're going to feel like you have more room to operate. With retailers like Wal-Mart, labor hasn't done well in trying a traditional approach of getting workers to sign union cards or hold elections. They've been best at publicly shaming companies like Wal-Mart. But now we're using the idea of a national boycott to try to find some way to be relevant to these workers. This is just another new way that the labor movement has been experimenting in order to reach new workers. And if you experiment enough, eventually one of them is going to hit. And I think labor is on to something in theses new models of representation. One thing that's interesting, from a labor perspective – a lot of the big box retail stores are not just opening their stores on Thursday at midnight, they're opening Thursday evening. They've moved store hours up. And unless workers have real choice or they're being paid a premium rate, this is an early holiday gift to worker advocacy groups, who will inevitably hammer the retailers about how it's greater exploitation of these workers; about how it's cutting into their family time on a day that used to be a paid day off. I also think it's conceivable that these hours have been moved up precisely because Wal-Mart is trying to avoid a big nasty scene of crowds forming to protest and boycott on Black Friday. By opening the stores up earlier on Thanksgiving evening, at a time when you think folks who are organizing these protests and boycotts wouldn't want to physically show up at the store, you rob those folks of the good media attention they would get had they opened on Black Friday. You also take away some of the subtle pressure on customers to not walk into the store. stats21,295 Views additional actions

This lively bread has corn and the added kick of jalapeño chilies. It's a great bread to accompany any Southwest-style meal.
If your bread machine has a 2-pound vertical pan, the loaf will be short but still will have good texture and flavor. If your bread machine has a horizontal pan, however, there isn't enough dough to make a good loaf of baked bread. We also found that we didn't have good results in bread machines with glass-dome lids.
Jalapeño chilies are named after Jalapa, the capital of Veracruz, Mexico. The seeds and membrane inside the chili contain a compound called capsaicin, which creates the heat of the chili. This compound also can burn your skin and eyes, so be sure to wear plastic gloves when handling chilies and wash your hands thoroughly when finished.
This Chili-Cheddar Spread is a great way to use any extra corn: Mix a 3-oz package of softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons milk until smooth and creamy. Stir in 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup whole kernel corn, 3/4 teaspoon chili powder and a sliced green onion. This makes about 3/4 cup spread, so cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

OXFORD – Tupelo businessman Ray Shoemaker has asked to be free on bond while the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals considers his February conviction and sentence in a health care kickback-bribery case.
Shoemaker is scheduled to start a 55-month prison term Nov. 1.
In his 11-page motion to Senior District Judge Neal B. Biggers Jr., Shoemaker's attorneys said that if his appeal is granted, he is likely to get a new trial, conviction reversals or no prison time to serve.
Chiefly, they told the court he is not a danger, he's not appealing to delay and he's raised "substantial issues of law and facts" about the counts questioned in his appeal.
A federal court jury found Shoemaker and co-defendant Lee Garner of Batesville guilty on multiple counts that they were part of a kickback-bribery scheme surrounding Tri-Lakes Medical Center in Batesville and nursing staff decisions there.
In late August, Biggers threw out all of Garner's convictions, a couple against Shoemaker and granted the Tupelo man a new trial on a third, although seven convictions against Shoemaker were retained.
In his bond motion, Shoemaker insisted evidence will show him innocent.
Central to his appeal will be his ability to prove he did not intentionally lie about hospital financial transactions and that he did not embezzle $250,000 from the group, which bought the hospital.
Shoemaker's attorneys filed his appeal with the 5th Circuit on Oct. 9.

Maybe McDonald's (MCD) investors are loving after all.
Yesterday, McDonald's dropped 0.3% after reporting same-store sales–and Barron's panned the stock. Today, however, McDonald's shares have gained 3.5% to $98.56, leaving Burger King (BKW), which has ticked up 0.3% to $27.63, and Wendy's (WEN), which has dropped 1.1% to $9.30, in their dust.
Sterne Agee's Lynne Collier and Wesley Carmichael explain why investors enthusiastic about McDonald's prospects:
We are incrementally more positive on MCD following today's comments from CFO Peter Bensen at the Bank of America Consumer Conference. Most importantly, Mr. Bensen spoke about the Company's investigation into increasing leverage in the capital structure, which we believe could result in increased return of capital to shareholders…
Still, McDonald's has dipped 0.4% during the past 12 months, even as Wendy's has surged 70% and Burger King Worldwide has jumped 49%.
The question now: Is this the beginning of a new trend for McDonald's?

After two days of TV appearances, performances and interviews, Javier Colon, winner of NBC's singing competition "The Voice," is preparing for his next big gig: His friend's wedding.

"I get to go home for probably twelve hours or so before I actually get on a flight to go back to California to my good friend's wedding," the 34-year-old singer said Friday. "Now the timing is not great, but I told him that I was gonna be there."
Colon took home the $100,000 grand prize and a recording contract from Wednesday's live season finale. The father of two said he had felt certain that runner up Dia Frampton would take top honors.
"And I was completely OK with that because I love Dia to death, and she is an amazing artist and an amazing person," he said.
Colon was coached by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. The pair performed Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" on Tuesday's episode. Colon said fans can expect more where that came from.
"Adam and I already talked about doing something in studio. He's got a bunch of ideas. He's got some songs he wants to throw my way ... He might put his producer hat on and produce a record. We've got some plans."
Colon said coach Cee Lo Green also has expressed interest in a future collaboration.
Colon's hectic schedule won't be slowing down anytime soon. Aside from press tours and studio sessions, he also will be on the road with the top 8 "Voice" finalists for a six-city concert tour in late July.
Colon said he is loving every minute of it.
"I can't keep my head on straight. It's hard to keep my eyes open," he said. "But I'm trying to take it all in and just trying to soak it all in. It's been unbelievable."

Category: Segmented Worms view all from this category
Description Eudistylia polymorpha, the giant feather duster worm, is a species of marine polychaete worm belonging to the family Sabellidae. It receives its common name from the crown of tentacles that are extended when the animal is underwater.
E. polymorpha has a body up to 25 cm (10 in) long and 1.2 cm (0.5 in) thick and lives within a tube. This is parchment-like and composed of sediment cemented with mucus. It is a brownish colour, translucent and often strengthened with sand and shell fragments. On rocky shores it may be hidden in a crevice and be difficult to dislodge. The branchiae (feeding appendages) in the feathery crown also function as gills. They are also known as radioles and are a shade of red or brown, banded with paler sections. Shades vary but the most frequent colouration is maroon with orange tips. They arise from two spiral, deeply cleft, bases. They bear eyespots which alert the worm to sudden shadows or movements nearby. This enables the crown to be retracted into the tube very rapidly when danger threatens. The posterior segments of the worm bear hooked bristles which help anchor it in its tube. E. polymorpha can be distinguished from the very similar Eudistylia vancoveri by the cleft in the crown. Also E vancoveri generally has red branchiae with white tips.
Habitat Rocks, Piers, driftwood & pilings, Ocean or bay shallows.
Range Alaska, California, Western Canada, Northwest.

MoMA's New Photography 25 Opens; Includes Film For First Time
Posted by Conor Risch on Thursday September 30, 2010 | Fine Art
Posted by Conor Risch on Thursday September 30, 2010 | Fine Art
The Museum of Modern Art's 25th annual New Photography exhibition opened yesterday, featuring the work of Roe Ethridge, Elad Lassry, Alex Prager and Amanda Ross-Ho.
The exhibition, which each year highlights some of contemporary photography's most interesting voices, includes short films by Lassry and Prager, the first films that have appeared in a New Photography show.
In her curatorial statement, MoMA photography curator Roxana Marcoci writes that the four artists she selected "engage in a kind of post-appropriative practice." Though each artist appropriates images and ideas to create their photographs (and films), they do so for different reasons than Richard Prince did when he rephotographed ads in the Seventies to question "notions of originality."
"This younger group of artists reinvest in photographic authorship, creating pictures that often exist simultaneously as commercial assignment and artwork," Marcoci says.
Roe Ethridge's contribution to the show includes a collage in which he lays an enlarged and pixilated image of a Crate & Barrel plate taken from their Web site over the top corner of an image of a checkered Comme de Garçons scarf; an enlarged image from The New York Times of a model at a Chanel fashion show; and a photograph of objects in his studio that includes a red bag plastic bag, a second-hand framed photo of a sailboat and a zoom lens.
Elad Lassry presents his images as small prints in frames whose colors correspond to those found in the image. In one work a vintage image of Goldie Hawn and a golden retriever is placed above a series of color-laminated wood blocks that vaguely resemble a TV test pattern. In Lassry's silent film, Untitled (2009), which he shows at the same small size as his images, actor Eric Stoltz and an actress recreate a scene of director/choreographer Jerome Robbins instructing actress Mary Martin on a flying scene for the 1955 television adaptation of Peter Pan.
Alex Prager's work borrows heavily from vintage cinema. Her bold color images of young women in wigs and period costumes evoke Alfred Hitchcock and film noir. Her film, "Despair," in which one such woman throws herself from a window is based on the 1948 film "The Red Shoes," about a ballerina who kills herself.
Amanda Ross-Ho's work includes collages and photographs of hand-drilled sheet rock installations hung with found and/or appropriated images and other objects. One of her sheet-rock installations is included in the show.
Appropriation of popular images (i.e. images meant for mass consumption), and references to films, existing images and image styles, play a role in the work of each of these artists. Still, Marcoci believes they are "post-appropriation," because their motivations are different than previous artists who rephotographed or reused the work of others to call attention to their own ideas.
The artists in New Photography 25 appear to share a curatorial, or editorial, impulse. They absorb images and references and place them together with their own photography create an order from the mass of images we're bombarded with in contemporary society.

We are all still coming down from this past weekend's GLORY 11 on Spike TV. I mean, that was just a monumental event by every stretch of the imagination. There were some really big winners at GLORY 11, two of which were Rico Verhoeven and Tyrone Spong, who got to be the stars of the show on Spike TV and could have just cemented themselves as huge Kickboxing stars here in the United States. GLORY has put up video interviews catching up with them after their respective wins and both guys seem pretty pleased, as they should be.

The catch caused a buzz from the coaches and players, who were probably giving thanks for the opportunity to have an experienced 6-foot-5 wide receiver walk into their midst in time for the stretch run.
Likewise, Burress, a 35-year-old who caught 45 passes for 612 yards and 8 touchdowns last season, and has inexplicably been left off NFL rosters for 11 weeks this season, is thankful to return to his old team, and soon, he hopes, his old quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger.
The two played together in Roethlisberger's rookie season and Burress caught 35 passes for 698 yards (19.9 avg.) and 5 touchdowns, with another touchdown in the postseason.
The two giants enjoyed a chemistry that was split up by free agency, even though Roethlisberger tried to persuade the front office to re-sign Burress.
"The year we played we had a pretty good relationship outside of football," said Burress. "Those are some of the things a lot of people don't know. His first Thanksgiving here, we spent it together. It's ironic that [eight] years later I'm back on Thanksgiving when his first Thanksgiving in Pittsburgh we ate together. You sit down and say 'Wow.' You cherish things like that. Those are things you can't get back.
"We remained good friends throughout the years. I've been a great supporter of his, and he likewise with me. We're just having fun, man, and we're just going to enjoy."
Burress said Roethlisberger was the first player he saw when he reported to the Steelers' practice facility Tuesday after he signed with the team.
"I think that says a lot about him," Burress said. "We've remained in contact over the years. You can't say enough about what he's accomplished in this league already. He's not finished; I'm not finished. We'll see if we can go do it again."
Speaking of Roethlisberger, the injured quarterback was out of the sling he'd been wearing since spraining the S-C joint in his shoulder/sternum. He didn't have time to talk to reporters, but went to his locker and pulled his t-shirt up over his head and arms without any obvious discomfort.
Roethlisberger won't play this week, and remains a big question mark the following week at Baltimore.
The same description would fit safety Troy Polamalu, who ran yesterday for the first time and nodded optimistically about returning to the playing field some time soon.
"Not this week," Polamalu said with a wide smile. "Hopefully it will be soon."
As for the rest of the injury report, Antonio Brown practiced in a limited capacity, but Jerricho Cotchery, Marcus Gilbert, Ziggy Hood and Byron Leftwich missed practice along with Polamalu and Roethlisberger.
First-round pick David DeCastro said he hasn't missed this much time with an injury since he sat out four weeks in high school, "and that wasn't even during the season."
DeCastro has been on injured reserve since injuring his right knee Aug. 25 against the Buffalo Bills in the Steelers' third preseason game.
He was designated for return at the time he was placed on injured reserve, and the new NFL rule says that the Steelers have 21 days to activate DeCastro once he begins practicing.
That clock started yesterday when DeCastro worked primarily with the scout team but also took two reps at right guard with the first team when new quarterback Brian Hoyer was also given his first-team snaps in place of this week's starter Charlie Batch.
"It felt really good," said DeCastro.
He added that he didn't notice any pain or hindrance when he ran, but said he has no timetable for activation.
"I'm just trying to come out every day and get better, get healthier," he said. "There's definitely some room to improve. I need to get my strength back, endurance."

- Machaut and his time: 14th Century Ars Nova
Machaut and his time: 14th Century Ars Nova Cultural background In Machauts time the ideal of courtly love was very important in aristocratic culture. Virtually all the poetry of the age deals with love and loyalty towards unattainable noble ladies (the lover regards himself as a feudal vassal of his lady). The best-known poet of courtly love is Francesco Petrarca. In 1327 Petrarca, aged 23, was to be found working briefly at the Popes court in Avignon (there were two popes at the time). He was in love with Laura, a woman from a noble family. She died in 1348 of the great plague that had been rampaging throughout Europe since 1347. It had begun on the Cremia peninsula on the Black Sea and had been brought back by the Genoese soldiers who had been fighting the Mongols. It claimed enormous numbers of victims: Paris, for instance, lost a quarter of its population. At the same time the Hundred Years War was taking place between England and France, and crusades were still being organised. Life must have been very insecure in those days: death was always close at hand, whether in the form of war or disease....

Ensemble Alba Musica Kyo The group was started in 1981 by three Japanese musicians, Toyohiko Satoh, Chiyomi Yamada, Taka Kitazato, who live in the Netherlands. Today the regular members are variable up to seven musicians depending on programs they perform. They perform 14th C. Ars Nova music (Machaut, Landini etc.), 16th C. Elizabethern music (music of John Dowland, Shakespeares Music, etc.), 17th C. Italian Monodie (Monteverdi, Frescobaldi, etc.) and contemporary music including Satohs own compositions (some of them are based on traditional Japanese tunes). The lute is the centre of the ensemble with one voice, woodwind instruments, string instruments and percussion. KYO in Japanese means: the capital, today, crazy, bridge or harmony at the same time. And ALBA means dawn or beginning. Therefore the name of the group can mean something like the dawn of todays music or the beginning of crazy music or even the start of noble Japanese music, etc. They toured to most of European countries including Spain, Portugal, Hungary and also to Canada and Japan.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:12 PM GMT on May 31, 2011
The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on Wednesday, June 1, but the Caribbean is already showing signs of the change of seasons. Moisture and heavy thunderstorm activity have increased in the region between Central America and Jamaica in recent days, and rainfall amounts of 1 - 2 inches have been common over the past three days over Cuba, Hispaniola, and much of Central America. The subtropical jet stream has been bringing high wind shear of 30 - 50 knots over the Caribbean the past week, but this shear has fallen to 20 - 40 knots this morning, and is predicted to fall below 20 knots by Thursday. All of the computer models predict that an area of low pressure will form in the region between Jamaica and Honduras by Thursday. This low will have the potential to develop into a tropical depression late this week. There is some dry air over the Western Caribbean near Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula that may retard the process, but a surge of moisture accompanying a tropical wave currently passing through the Lesser Antilles may counteract this, when the wave arrives in the Western Caribbean on Thursday. Water temperatures in the Central Caribbean are about 1°C above average, 29°C, which is plenty warm enough to support development of a tropical storm. Some recent runs of the NOGPAS model have predicted development of a tropical depression by late this week, potentially affecting Jamaica and Eastern Cuba. The other models have not been as gung-ho, but have been showing the potential for a strong tropical disturbance with very heavy rains forming late this week. In any case, residents of Jamaica, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Haiti, Honduras, and Nicaragua should anticipate the possibility that heavy rains of 2 - 4 inches may affect them Thursday through Saturday this week.

Receipt did not travel 525 miles from Joplin tornado
The May 22 EF-5 tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri did not set a new record for longest transport of debris by a tornado. According to MSNBC, a couple living in Royal Center, Indiana, in North Central Indiana, 525 miles from Joplin, found a receipt from the Joplin Tire store three days after the tornado hit Joplin. However, a press release from Purdue University clarified that the receipt did not arrive via the tornado, but had been left behind by a relative that had visited Joplin before the tornado. The longest distance recorded for debris from a storm was a cancelled check that traveled 210 miles after the 1915 tornado in Great Bend, Kansas.
The death toll from the May 22, 2011 tornado in Joplin, Missouri is 139, although there is still considerable uncertainty about this number. The Joplin tornado is the 8th deadliest in U.S. history, and the most deadly since the 1947 Woodward, Oklahoma twister that killed 181 people. The tornado season of 2011 now has approximately 520 deaths, which would make it the deadliest tornado season since 1936, according to statistics compiled by NOAA. In the 1936 tornado season 552 people died, mostly because of violent tornadoes that hit Tupelo Mississippi (216 killed), and Gainesville, Georgia (203 killed.)

Yes Howard the first here. Also when she lagged or started loosing focus on a couple of occasions She was also offered a treat some of the time in conjunction of the "subliminal force" such a low level its pretty much undetectable as an bad thing. its not collar conditioning ,,its pre CC. It allows me to get a head of the game a little,,,,Pete, during the heeling I couldn't tell if you ever used the collar, did you?
I thought you may have used it on the very first, "Here," when she was off camera but that was it.
at 42 seconds or there abouts is an obvious lag or deviation. sometimes there is a command and sometimes there isn't so we are starting to teach responsibility with gentile introduction.
Its not enough stim that they respond like that,,,they have no idea,,, it would be like a dog laying in the sun and getting up and moving in the shade when it gets to hot. They don't feel reprimanded when this happens. The couple times she was next to me she just put her head down for what ever reason who knows,,, focus off the handler is inevitable any way once the fun is out in the field

Pete, you're using continuous stim until she gets back into position, yes?
Darrin Greene
Yes I use continuous just like one would do during any -R process. A nick would in many cases not be registered at all and thus the dog would never recognize comfy / not as comfy. It may not be every ones cup of tea,, but its low impact and doesn't cause conflict between the young dog and handler. In fact it may help ward it off later in training
And its one of the best ways to incorporate then merge methods initially with aggressive dogs. In that discipline one can definitely see the advantage,,, with happy go lucky retrievers ,,,maby it doesn't matter ,,,,just another way of doing it.

Below is a copy/paste of a "Hand out" I give to students based on leash skills; keep in mind the second part of the exercise is geared towards "heads up" competitive obedience style heel work - but if you use the methods and don't focus on the eye contact same applies.
I use primarily positive techniques to encourage an understanding of the heel positing in general - then balance correction and reward based on positioning as the dog progresses. I use LOTS of food reward for solid eye contact and good positioning but this hand-out also talks about use of leash for correction (if OP wants info about not using an E collar).
Most importantly: KEY is remember - the walk only moves forward if the dog is in position.
Leash Walking: Basic Obedience
Danielle Pellicci ~ www.BlackFootKennels.com
Before we can teach a dog to walk closely in the "heel "position" two things must happen:
1) The dog must be "Leash Broke" which simply means to be able to walk on a loose leash without pulling....and ....
2) The dog must have a solid understanding of what the heel position is in terms of a stationary behavior.
1) Basic Leash "Breaking" (Walking without pulling):
Use an appropriate training collar and a 4 or 6 foot lead. Hold the lead over your right wrist and across the front of your body. With your left hand guide the leash so it does not drag.
Start in the heel position with your dog on your left side. Take your first step with your left foot. If your dog forges ahead, the walk should STOP abruptly. Nudge him back to the position and start again, or, pivot to the right (about turn opposite direction) and repeat. If your dog turns right you go left. If he goes forward, you go back, etc.. In this fashion the dog is forced to follow you from behind and starts to pay closer attention.
Do not use a sweeping motion (like reeling in a fish) to bring the dog back to the start position. Always give slack and nudge back with reasonable force in short bursts. This will give the dog a chance to make a good decision and pay attention to your movements.Walking backwards while in the act of nudging to the heel positon (left side) is a great way to get this point accross. Remember to praise and / or treat when the dog is doing a good job!
Remember to keep training walks and potty walks separate at first. Set reasonable goals. Remember, your left hand is there for support only. You can stop the dog's full body weight with your right wrist and brace your self. The left hand should smoothly travel up and down the length of the lead and only tighten momentarily to "nudge,""pop," or "snap" at the leash. If a dog is lagging; I reccomend praiseful encouragement rather than using the leash pop.
2) Transferring from leash breaking to walking at heel with attention:
Heel work: "heel" is a helpful skill for you and your dog to master. A dog and handler moving together in sync is not only a graceful thing to watch but is also proof that a dog is offering his / her full attention and offering complete respect. Certainly heel with attention is KEY if you intend to pursue any type of formal competitive obedience venue.
Start with your dog in the stationary heel position with eyes up attention on you.
Find the place on the leash where if you were to snap your wrist the leash would abruptly stop your dog. I like to call this the 1st POSITION and when walking at heel your hand should always be relaxed and travel back to this spot. The 1st position will be closer the collar in taller dogs and farther away with shorter dogs. But never tightly held with tension unless your wrist was the flinch.
When teaching heel - start SIMPLE and strive for a high standard of eye contact and attention. Remember the two types of "HEEL FINISHES" that we can teach a dog in order to set him / her in the right position at our left before moving forward: A swing finish is preferred for this context. But either a swing or parade finish is appropriate when just starting out for the 1st steps (See your homework packet for heel finish descriptions and teaching techniques).
Start with a solid proofed foundation with attention in the heel position for an extended period of time offering multiple opportunities to correct or praise/reward for lack of or solid attention.
Gently move forward with the left foot using plenty of body language to encourage the dog to move forward while maintaining both eye contact and the heel position (start with one slow paced step and build). It is recommended to only take a few steps at a slow pace and treat/release/play break. Over time as you set reasonable goals and build upon them, you will see that your dog is capable of "Heads up heeling" at any pace, direction change, etc...
Remember to TREAT FROM THE TRIANGLE at random intervals of heads up heeling (treat frequently at first) to help ensure the dogs eyes and head remain UP! Set small reasonable goals and build up to direction changes, distraction tolerance, pace changes, etc...

This is the method I've used on my last 3 or 4 dogs except I use a clicker for precision. (clicker in one hand - transmitter in the other). I like it partially for the reason Pete mentioned above. I believe sometimes there can be "resentment" for lack of a better word when you jerk a dog w/ a choke/prong collar that is avoided by this method.
Mostly though, it has worked better for me than other methods.
"The bird hunter watches only the dog, and always knows where the dog is, whether or not visible at the moment. The dog nose is the bird hunters eye. Many hunters who carry a shotgun in season have never learned to watch the dog, or interpret his reaction to scent."
Aldo Leopold, Round River
Great video, Pete. That is what I do, too, but without the collar. I start inside in a large room and make sure the dog knows I have the clicker and am starting a training session. Start walking around with dog on left and click when dog is in perfect heel postion, lots of quick succession clicks/treats. 3 min sessions x 2. Then when I think dog knows that being in that position while walking is what wins a click, I start using the word "heel". Dog is perfect position, i say "heel" then click, then treat. When dog is solid inside, take it outside where it is more distracting and start over. Reduce the expectations.
Once dog is up to par outside off leash, I go back inside and put the leash on. Adding the leash is a distraction, so I go back to square one and do the drill with leash. This way, the dog learns the leash is also part of the drill and that the expectations don't change because it is on.
The first dog I did this with, I didn't go back and add the leash exercise. Dog would heel all day long past a parade circus - as long as he was off leash. Put the leash on and the pulling began. So now, I include it in the lesson - helps a lot.
Edit: 1.) Clicker training requires that you "Charge" clicker so dog knows a click means a treat. 2.) Once dog learns what the word "heel" means and the correct position, you can put the clicker and treats away.

and ditto about the leash-made that mistake with my older guy and now if you put a lead on in a test he pulls. And I only used flat collar on the two younger but a pinch on the older dog to teach them. Trick is to wean them from the pinch because you can't use it in a test, same with the Ecollar trick is to teach them to lead without the Ecollar!IMHO
Thanks for sharing the video Pete.

I think of it like the game "Hot & Cold" you played when you were a kid. Using only P+ would be like only saying "cold" as the child moves in the wrong direction while only using R+ would be like only saying "hot". It only makes sense to me to use both to communicate most efficiently.

Re-creating a lost ballet
Posted April 4, 2005; 03:03 p.m.
Final rehearsals are under way for "Le Pas d'Acier" ("The Steel Step"), one of the great lost ballets of the 20th century, which will be performed at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, April 7-9, at the Berlind Theatre.
Scholars from Princeton and other institutions have painstakingly re-created the choreography, costumes and elaborate mechanical set of the work by legendary Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev.
The ballet was written as a celebration of Soviet industrialization, but budget constraints and a change in choreographers led to a scaled-down version that mocked industrial development being performed in 1927. The Princeton production will render the ballet -- for the first time -- exactly the way Prokofiev intended it.
"This is essentially a world premiere because the ballet was never performed the way Prokofiev conceived it," said assistant professor of music Simon Morrison, the mastermind behind the project, which has consumed him for the last three years.
The set was created with the help of theater historian Lesley-Anne Sayers, who spent eight years researching and creating models of the set. The ballet's choreography has been recreated using action cues and stage direction from the original musical score as well as drawings and photos discovered by Sayers in archives in Paris, London and Armenia.
The dancers will be Princeton students drawn from an advanced contemporary dance class taught by ballet reconstructionist Millicent Hodson, who is a visiting fellow of the Humanities Council, and Rebecca Lazier, a lecturer in the Humanities Council and theater and dance.
The costumes are being created by Ingrid Maurer, a New York City costume designer, using drawings and photographs from the 1927 production. The University Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Pratt, will perform Prokofiev's score.
The performances will open with several short pieces thematically related to the ballet, created by University composers and choreographers and others. Lazier has collaborated with Dan Trueman, assistant professor of music, on a piece called "Transparent Body," which will only be performed during the April 8 performance. Princeton theater and dance professor Ze'eva Cohen and music professors Paul Lansky and Barbara White have collaborated with outside artists on three other pieces titled "In the Moment," "Island" and "Repetition Compulsion."
A limited number of tickets are available; for information, call the McCarter box office at (609) 258-2787.

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening type of allergic reaction.
Anaphylactic reaction; Anaphylactic shock; Shock - anaphylactic
Anaphylaxis is a severe, whole-body allergic reaction to a chemical that has become an allergen. After being exposed to a substance such as bee sting venom, the person's immune system becomes sensitized to it.
When the person is exposed to that allergen again, an allergic reaction may occur. Anaphylaxis happens quickly after the exposure, is severe, and involves the whole body.
Tissues in different parts of the body release histamine and other substances. This causes the airways to tighten and leads to other symptoms.
Some drugs (morphine, x-ray dye, aspirin, and others) may cause an anaphylactic-like reaction (anaphylactoid reaction) when people are first exposed to them. These reactions are not the same as the immune system response that occurs with "true" anaphylaxis. However, the symptoms, risk for complications, and treatment are the same for both types of reactions.
Anaphylaxis can occur in response to any allergen. Common causes include:
Pollens and other inhaled allergens rarely cause anaphylaxis. Some people have an anaphylactic reaction with no known cause.
Anaphylaxis is life-threatening and can occur at any time. Risks include a history of any type of allergic reaction.
Symptoms develop quickly, often within seconds or minutes. They may include the following:
Signs include:
The health care provider will wait to test for the allergen that caused anaphylaxis (if the cause is not obvious) until after treatment.
Anaphylaxis is an emergency condition that needs professional medical attention right away. Call 911 immediately.
Check the person's airway, breathing, and circulation (the ABC's of Basic Life Support). A warning sign of dangerous throat swelling is a very hoarse or whispered voice, or coarse sounds when the person is breathing in air. If necessary, begin rescue breathing and CPR.
Paramedics or other health care providers may place a tube through the nose or mouth into the airways (
The person may receive antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine, and corticosteroids, such as prednisone, to further reduce symptoms (after lifesaving measures and epinephrine are given).
Anaphylaxis is a severe disorder that can be life-threatening without prompt treatment. However, symptoms usually get better with the right therapy, so it is important to act right away.
Call 911 if you develop severe symptoms of anaphylaxis. If you are with another person, he or she may take you to the nearest emergency room.

Residents on the north end of the Key and people who regularly walk the Siesta Key beach in the mornings had a big surprise awaiting them today: a large Legoman, about 8 feet tall, had washed ashore from the Gulf of Mexico.
Three people contacted the Pelican Press with photos. Joel Fried, a Terrace resident, said he first saw the floating object about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25. "It just floated up" on the shore, he said. Some people on the beach set it upright, he added.
Peter van Roekens, another Terrace resident, said he saw it about 8:30 a.m. Both men said it was between 7 and 8 feet tall.
As of 9:30 a.m., the Legoman was still there in the surf, Fried said.
After doing some research on the Internet, Fried said he found that the object is part of the Ego Leonard project (www.egoleonard.nl). The website has a photo of the object and says, "I am here to discover and learn about your world and thoughts."
In August 2007, one of the giant Legomen washed ashore at the Dutch resort of Zandvoort, according to Reuters. It had the same message printed on its front as the object on Siesta Key: "No real than you are."
As of 10 a.m. today, the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office had no reports about the incident on Siesta, according to Wendy Rose, the public information officer.

Should I reseal this tank?
Just picked up a 60 gallon Oceanic tank and stand from Craigslist. It is a heavy tank with no center bracing. A little cleaning and painting of the stand and it should be good to go. I have a question about the silicone on the upright seams. I seems to be a little ragged on the edges of the joint but the rest of the joint looks solid. I would hate to have to cut out all the old silicone if i don't have to.
If your not too sure, I would reseal it just to be safe. That has always seamed to work well for me
The below thread explains the process. If you have not done this before, it can helpful.
http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=52239If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
Towards the bottom, it looks like most of the silicone is missing.
Cleaning it all up and re-sealing it is a finger cramping exercise, but it could save your floor and possibly a family or landlord crisis.
Please invest the time and slight case premium for silicone that is labeled for aquarium use. Then you'll never have to wonder if it was penny pinching that cost you a tank of fish due to some sort of ******cide.
I agree with Cliff, when in doubt reseal it. 60g of water is better in the tank rather than the floor. Lots of good videos on youtube on resealing a tank. With a small tank I probably wouldn't go through the process of resealing it, too much work. For a larger tank it's worth it. Those older oceanic tanks are nice, thicker panes of glass. Be sure to take the time to really clean off the old silicone real well, new silicone will not adhere to old silicone well. Take the time to get rid of any old silicone residue with some alcohol too.

What People Are Saying About Us!
My Furnace died in the middle of the night. The techs from OutToday showed up the next morning and used a machine to check the inside of my furnace. I was able to see on the screen of the machine that my furnace was cracked and possibly leaking poisonous gases into my family home. I was so glad the had an infrared camera that could see inside my furnace. I had them put a new one in it was done the same day.
I was completely happy with the service I received from OutToday Plumbing in Bellevue. They were extremely friendly, responded quickly to my call, and fixed the problem much faster than I anticipated. Without a doubt, I will call them again next time I have a plumbing issue.
I've used them twice now for drain cleanouts (main and kitchen branch) in a rental unit, and they always do a great job. On time, clean, fast (taking into account known problems with the plumbing), and the price was right. Seriously- they were ~1/6 the price of what one of the local, family-run plumbing/electrical places wanted to charge. I just about choked on the other quote!
This is the second time I have used this company I love the quick service. Erin was a true professional replaced my electrical panel in one day.

2013 The Aftermath of the Delay
Grand Theft Auto V - General News | @ 12:40 PM MDT | By Ash_735
Well now that the dust has settled, yes, Grand Theft Auto V has been delayed, pushed forward a whole fiscal quarter with a confirmed release date of September 17th 2013:
Obviously there has been a lot of vocal reactions to this, a lot of anger from certain people, a lot of questions from others, we're all surprised in some way or form really about this situation but on the bright side, we do have a confirmed date now, and people have been working with that. One fan on twitter recently sent us this GTA V Countdown Page which some people might be interested in.
Of course this is the Internet, so along with the many Angry Hitler videos we also have a petition going on calling for Rockstar Games to release the preview Demo shown to magazines and websites such as IGN, etc, last year. The preview which showed off gameplay, character switching and one mission being played in various ways. Apparently people want to see this, considering it's already finished and was shown off months ago, people want Rockstar to put it out there for all of us to see, to tide us over and sort of apologise for the delay. You can find the petition right Here. Though it might be more interesting if they released the original GTA IV Demo that had Niko climbing Telephone Poles and Elvis Costello on the radio!

Obama's proposal for expansion of pre-school programs seems downright counter to logic.
If the DOE has determined, with both studies, that most advantages of Head Start are lost by the time kids are in 1st grade, and totally gone by 3rd grade, logic tells me that the Head Start program works UNTIL the kids get into their public school system! There does seem to be good things for the kids when they are still in the pre-school, but are not sustained when they leave those programs.
So, rather than expand the pre-school programs, shouldn't we start by spending that money (if, indeed, additional funds were available) to clean up what's wrong with the higher grades in public schools?
For starters, there are probably not a lot of pre-schoolers who bring knives or other weapons to school. Not many pre-schoolers could batter their teachers ... nor other students. I think that violence is a big part of it. We can see that many of the schools that have the poorest academic records are in inner cities where there is also the highest amount of violence. Just curbing the violence (that engenders fear in both the teachers and non-violent students) could go a long way to improving the academic standards in those schools.
I was always under the impression that all of our individual rights and/or privileges (like the privilege of a free, public education system) depended upon not interfering with the rights of someone else. If the most troublesome kids form into groups, how about putting these students into community service ... but not putting them in the same place for that service; i.e. break down the group/mob mentality of those troublesome students. They might actually learn more from their community service experience than in those schools. Obviously, "detention" is useless ... unless it requires those students to actually DO something; not just sit there with "free time" to indulge their whims.
Cost? Is it more expensive for the school system to run a bus to different community service assignments than it is to lose the futures of the non-violent students who could benefit from the education they are NOT getting in a violent school? If this stuff is more common in poorer neighborhoods, then if parents are collecting welfare because they are not working, how about doing some "work-fare" by using them to help in the neighborhood school? If using this additional "labor force" does not reduce the regular staff, how could the teachers union argue that it's costing union jobs? They could also do jobs like removing graffiti from walls, etc. That particular job would also be a good thing for "community service" assignments for those transported students. Not in their own school, but in another school where they don't have the support of their regular group.
There are so many things that could be done, for which costs would be minimal, that are common sense & logical, and nobody even suggests such changes!

My, what a pie! A savory blend of cheddar cheese and broccoli in a pie that makes its own crust while it bakes.
Grab a 10-ounce package of chopped broccoli or cauliflower from the freezer. Use it instead of the fresh broccoli or cauliflower; it doesn't need to be boiled. Just thaw, drain and add it to the pie.
For an Impossibly Easy Spinach Pie, use 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain, for the broccoli; do not cook. Omit bell pepper. Substitute Swiss cheese for the Cheddar cheese. Add 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg with the pepper. Bake about 30 minutes.
Savory Impossibly Easy Pies can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. You may need to bake a bit longer than the recipe directs since you'll be starting with a cold pie. Watch carefully for doneness.

Betty Crocker's Heart Healthy Cookbook shares a recipe! Dessert ready in an hour! Serve this fruited bread pudding that's sprinkled with nutmeg and drizzled with eggnog sauce.
"When confronted with the foods I love but don't eat anymore, I say, 'I can't eat that.' There is no room for 'just a little,' because it's hard to stop. It is so great to get good-tasting desserts that are reasonable in fat and calories, like this bread pudding." Nanci D.
Because dried fruits have had most of their water removed, they are concentrated sources of nutrients. Raisins, for instance, are especially rich in iron and fiber. Add raisins to cereal, yogurt and low-fat granola for an on-the-run, high-energy snack, or stir them into low-fat muffins, breads and desserts.
