Lüneburg Heath is known for its vast swathes of heathland. The Heidschnuckenweg passes through over 30 areas of purple heathland between Hamburg and Celle.
Fine sand crunching underfoot, bristly branches from low scrub lightly scratching your legs, the sounds of Heidschnucke sheep bleating. In August, the gently undulating landscape is transformed by a carpet of purple. Bizarrely shaped juniper bushes point their prickly branches towards the sun. Nothing can be heard but the sounds of nature: walking on the Heidschnuckenweg is a delight for the senses. Here, where the Heidschnucke sheep graze, you'll find one expanse of heathland after another – each more beautiful than the last and every one unique in its own way. Steep heatherclad hillsides, crystal-clear streams and valley basins covered in juniper are characteristic features of the landscape. Solitary pine trees with widely spread branches and sprawling juniper bushes provide shade on warm sunny days.
Interspersed between the heathland are river meadows, ancient forests and a mosaic of fields, pastures and small patches of woodland. The route passes through many heathland villages that have lost none of their traditional charm. Expect to see isolated farmhouses in the typical half-timbered style, walls made from boulders and stone churches beneath mighty oaks.
The Heidschnuckenweg is more than just a walk through the Lüneburg Heath: it a journey through one of the oldest and most unspoilt regions of Germany.
Tip: Wilsede hill in the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve
Wilsede hill (169m) is a highlight on the Heidschnuckenweg and affords breathtaking views of the heathland from its summit.

Just curious if any of you guys have any success stories about the last puppy picked in any of your litters. I'll share mine.
Back in Feb 2003, my Stepper bitch, HRCH-Dancy-MH whelped 11 Cosmo pups. All but 1 went to competitive homes with 5 going to FT homes and the rest going to HT homes. 2 of the pups eventually FCed, 1 QAAed, and a few more completed their HRCH or MH.
The last pup taken was my favorite of the males. Not one person liked him nearly as much as I did. I kept him until he was 9 weeks old and liked him more and more each day. He was good looking, smart, and crazy courageous. One Sunday afternoon I get a phone call from a guy by the name of Butch Statham. Butch said that he wanted a well bred FT quality pup that he planned on putting on a young Louisiana pros truck in hopes of running Derbies. Well, the young pro didn't quite work out, so Butch decided on trying another young trainer over in Mississippi by the name of Charlie Moody. Under Charlie's tutelage Cody made the Derby list, QAAed quickly, and FCed as a 3 yr old. I believe that FC-Butch's Dream Code of TCR was Charlie Moody's first Field Champion.
The first three picks went to a trial home as well. The "pick" male was washed due to dropping only 1 testicle, the second was sold as a fabulous gundog, and the third, a female, was sold to a HT home and tragically lost her life when left in an indoor kennel where the air conditioning unit failed. The fourth, a female pup FTCH-Dream Dancin' had a very successful career in Canada.

Residential Faculty - English Composition
Office: LA 3 - Room: 12
This program is part of the English Department.
The Humanities provide students with opportunities to learn about world, gender, and cultural differences that build a foundation upon which to develop their own creative identities. This focus on multiculturalism in views, values, and experiences is woven throughout the coursework in all areas of study.
The study of humanities helps the student to understand "What does it mean to be human?" This introspection and expanded world view gives these graduates a better understanding of the world around them.
Utilizing this knowledge, graduates can apply their talents in several industries. Researchers and sociologists can query information about people from the past in order to have insight for the future. Workers in a market research firm will be able to analyze the release of a new product in different geographic regions. Public relations employees will be able to speak more effectively with their local and international constituents.
Insight into the historic, cultural, philosophical differences of people is a useful skill regardless of your profession.

For an extra-special chocolate touch, arrange a few semisweet chocolate chips around the rim of the pie right after you remove it from the oven.
If you're short on time, replace the orange sauce with a store-bought caramel topping. The caramel flavor will go well with the orange in the crust and pie filling.

By Sheena Barnett/NEMS Daily Journal
The world of Winnie-the-Pooh comes to life this weekend, courtesy of Corinth Theatre-Arts.
CTA presents "The House at Pooh Corner," featuring all the characters fans love, from Christopher Robin to Owl to Kanga and Roo and Winnie herself – that's right, Winnie is a girl in this production.
Director David Maxedon took a few liberties in casting the play, and is encouraging his cast to create their own versions of these famous characters.
"I said, let's make it our own. You can't out-Pooh Pooh. You can't out-Eeyore Eeyore," he said.
In the play, Christopher Robin goes away to school, leaving behind his friends in Ashdown Forest.
"He's excited about school, but his friends don't understand why he wants to leave," Maxedon said. "They learn that what's forever is not forever, and they begin looking out for each other."
The pals come together to build a house for Eeyore – hence, the "House at Pooh Corner."
"At first we're all separated," said Meredith Nall, 15, who stars as Rabbit. "Then we all come together to build Eeyore a house. It's very family-friendly."
Eeyore is also a girl in this production, and she's played by 18-year-old Mikaela Hancock. Though she's perfecting Eeyore's pessimistic pout, she's also focusing on what Maxedon told his cast was the human side of all of the animal characters.
"It's very human. There are a lot of human characteristics, with a lot of great heart-warming moments," she said.
Iuka native Ashley Austin, 17, stars as Winnie-the-Pooh.
"It's fun because it's not a typical Pooh," she said. "Pooh's turning into me more than I'm turning into Pooh."

Deeplinks Blog posts about International
Diego Gomez is a recent biology graduate from the University of Quindío, a small university in Colombia. His research interests are reptiles and amphibians. Since the university where he studied didn't have a large budget for access to academic databases, he did what any other science grad student would do: he found the resources he needed online. Sometimes he shared the research he discovered, so that others could benefit as well.
This week a new Digital Economy Bill [PDF] has been tabled before the United Kingdom Parliament, tackling a diverse range of topics related to electronic communications infrastructure and services. Two of these give us serious concern, the first being a new regime restricting access to online pornography, and the other an expansion of criminal liability for copyright infringement.
Nearly two years ago, along with the Media Legal Defence Initiative and with consent and input from his family, we submitted a petition to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (UNWGAD) for the release of Egyptian coder, blogger, and activist Alaa Abd El Fattah. Abd El Fattah was arrested on November 28, 2013, two days after participating in a peaceful demonstration against a law allowing Egyptian civilians to be tried in military courts. His arrest was conducted without a warrant, he was beaten by police officers, and authorities raided his home while his wife and child were present. He was later sentenced to five years in prison.
A groundbreaking international agreement to address the "book famine" for blind and print-disabled people is now set to go into force after passing another key milestone today. The agreement requires countries to allow the reproduction and distribution of accessible ebooks by limiting the scope of copyright restrictions.
The Marrakesh agreement takes aim at the global shortage of ebooks available in suitable formats for the print disabled, which in some regions is as low as 1% of published books. At the time of its completion, only 57 of the 184 member countries of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) had copyright exceptions for this purpose, and inconsistencies between them made sharing books between countries nearly impossible.
On June 23, Amnesty International—along with IFEX, Human Rights Watch, FIDH, and seven other organizations—issued a joint statement on the "existential threat" faced by Egyptian civil society. In recent months, the statement reads:
Many people working with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have been detained and ill-treated, charged with offences under the draconian Counter-terrorism law, or subject to a judicial request to ban them from travel and freeze their assets.

This Web page is no longer being maintained or updated; it is provided for historical purposes only. For current information on seasonal influenza (flu), see the California Department of Public Health Influenza Web page.
Both vaccines are made the same way. The difference is that the H1N1 flu vaccine is a different flu virus strain that's not included in the seasonal flu vaccine. That means that if you get a regular (seasonal) flu shot, you will not be protected against the H1N1 flu virus. And, the H1N1 flu vaccine also cannot protect your against the regular seasonal flu virus. To be safe from flu, most people will need to get both vaccines.
Five manufacturers are producing vaccine for the U.S.: Sanofi Pasteur, Novartis, GSK, Medimmune, and CSL. Currently, four of the H1N1 vaccine manufacturers have been licensed for distribution in the U.S. by the FDA. The H1N1 vaccines from one of the manufacturers is still awaiting FDA approval. The five manufacturers are the same manufacturers who produce the seasonal flu vaccine.
At this time, none of the H1N1 vaccine is adjuvanted. It is anticipated that all U.S. supplied vaccine will not contain adjuvant. The best place to look for updates is at http://www.Flu.Gov.
Source: http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/statelocal/qa.htm
A vaccine adjuvant is a substance added to a vaccine to improve the immune response so that less vaccine is needed. At this time, none of the H1N1 vaccine is adjuvanted. It is anticipated that all U.S. supplied vaccine will NOT contain adjuvant. The best place to look for updates is at http://www.Flu.Gov.
Source: http://www.cancer.gov/Templates/db_alpha.aspx?CdrID=43988
The flu shot is made from a killed influenza virus. The nasal spray vaccine (often called FluMist) is made from a weakened live flu virus. Both vaccines have been shown to be very safe and effective. The main difference is that FluMist can only be given to healthy children and adults aged 2 to 49 years old who do not have chronic illnesses like diabetes or asthma. It should also not be given to pregnant women.
Flu shots by injection may be given to children, adults and seniors, or pregnant women. Any doctor or clinic administering flu vaccines can tell you if there are any special restrictions by age or medical condition.
Adults and children 10 and over will need only one dose of H1N1 vaccine. Children younger than 10 years old are expected to need two doses. It is recommended that the two H1N1 vaccine doses are given 4 weeks apart. If the two doses are given less than 4 weeks but at least 21 days apart, the second doses does not need to be repeated. The most up-to-date recommendations should be posted on http://www.flu.gov.
The H1N1 flu vaccine will be available both with and without thimerosal. The single pre-filled syringes are typically thimerosal-free. Thimerosal free vaccines should be prioritized for pregnant women and children under age 3. Currently, there is a limited supply of thimerosal-containing vaccine.
If you are interested in getting a vaccine without thimerosal, ask your doctor. Thimerosal-free vaccine may be more plentiful in the coming weeks.
Since 2006, California law [Health and Safety Code Section 124172] has stated that vaccines containing specific levels of mercury cannot be administered to pregnant women and young children, except under certain circumstances. The Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency has granted an exemption to permit use of Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent Vaccine regardless of preservative content in children younger than 3 years of age and pregnant women. The exception is being granted because of the present dangers posed by pandemic (H1N1) influenza and because there are insufficient supplies of thimerosal-free influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent influenza vaccine to comply with the law.
Vaccine supplies and distribution will continue to be assessed to determine whether an extension of the exemption will be needed to protect Californians against pandemic (H1N1) influenza. In accordance with the intent of the law, during this exemption period immunizers should prioritize supplies of thimerosal-free vaccine to young children and pregnant women as long as prioritization does not prevent the immunization of others. Based on current and projected supplies, there is not an exemption at this time for seasonal influenza vaccine.
For the most part, yes. The most current recommendations allow:
If two doses are needed for children under 10, it is recommended to wait about 3 to 4 weeks between the first and second vaccination. If the interval was less than 4 weeks but at least 21 days, neither dose needs to be repeated.
There are a number of free flu materials and handouts available. You can access them and download them at the following links:
The most up-to-date information about H1N1 can be found at www.flu.gov . Other useful websites are CDC's website at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/, http://answers.flu.gov/, and the CDPH website www.cdph.ca.gov.
Live attenuated influenza (flu) virus (LAIV) is 1 of 2 types of flu vaccine. It's given as a nasal spray and contains weakened, live virus. Antiviral drugs (drugs that fight viruses) taken from 48 hours before through 2 weeks after getting LAIV can lower or prevent the vaccinated person from responding to the vaccine. This means the person may not get immune (body defense) protection from the vaccine. Antiviral drugs can be taken with the inactivated (i.e., killed) flu vaccine (shot).
The H1N1 vaccine should protect people for up to one year based on the current dose recommendations. Those recommendations are six months through nine years old to receive two doses, 10 years of age and older to receive one dose.
In Fall 2010, the seasonal flu vaccine will include the H1N1 strain which will extend the protection of the initial H1N1 vaccine. Anybody seeking protection from influenza will be to receive the seasonal influenza vaccine in Fall 2010.

Badgers' Bronson Koenig surprised by Bo Ryan
Basketball season is here.
Wisconsin opens regular season play next Friday, Nov. 8 against St. John's in South Dakota. The team has an exhibition game this Wednesday at the Kohl Center against UW-Platteville.
For Aquinas grad and freshman guard Bronson Koenig, it will be the first "game" he plays under Bo Ryan.
"[Ryan] actually hasn't been as tough as I expected him to be on me, but the season hasn't really started yet so I guess we'll see," Koenig said.
Koenig hardly turned the ball over in high school. Now, he's working to make sure that doesn't happen at the next level.
"[Ryan] doesn't really like turnovers, so I try to take care of the ball as best as I can, especially as a freshman. I don't really have the green light as some players do, but I just try to do my best to take care of the ball and just be solid and the most efficient player I can be."
Koenig had five points and three assists in Saturday's Red/White Scrimmage.

From Betty's Soul Food Collection... Everyone's fired up about this Mexican-flavored bread, bubbling with cheese, zesty green chiles and a dash of hot pepper sauce to turn up the heat.
To broil bread, place bread halves, cut sides up, on broiler pan; broil 6 to 8 inches from heat about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted. Spread cheese mixture on toasted sides of bread halves; broil 2 to 3 minutes longer, or until cheese bubbles and begins to brown.

"You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you. Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life."
Canadian author Doug Coupland.
In the aftermath of the deadly tornado outbreaks this week in Texas and Oklahoma we are reminded that some things, actually most things in life, we have no control over. We have to deal with them as best we can and move on. That's life. The weather is certainly one of those things.
If you want to minimize your chances of having to deal with deadly weather and other natural disasters, a recent study by Sperling's Best Places, a group that studies the best places to live in this country, suggests you move to Oregon or Washington state. Residents in those states are less likely than any others to experience things like tornadoes, earthquakes, floods or drought. Of course, there are still those pesky volcanoes up there.
Better yet, if you really want to reduce the odds, book a trip to the International Space Station and get above it all. Still, even there, you might be subjected to an ammonia snowstorm like the crew experienced last week when a pump failed. Then there's also dangerous solar radiation, space debris and meteors to worry about.
If you just have a death wish, Sperling's says move to Dallas, the most dangerous place in the country for natural disasters, and that's not even taking into account the Dallas Cowboys.
Truth is, no place is truly safe from the whims of Mother Nature. We here in north Mississippi know that all too well. The tornado that struck Tupelo on the evening of April 5, 1936, remains one of the top 10 deadliest in this country's history. The estimated F5 twister cut a path from the Black Zion community in Pontotoc County to Itawamba County and wiped out about 50 city blocks in Tupelo.
More than 200 people were killed and more than 700 injured in the storm although those numbers are inaccurate because only white deaths were counted at the time, not blacks. A barely 1-year-old Elvis Presley was one of the survivors.
Then there was Smithville, in more recent memory, and still rebuilding from the 2011 storm.
According to official weather statistics, between 1991 and 2010, Mississippi has experienced a tornado in every month of the year, averaging about 43 a year with the peaks coming in April and November.
Mark Twain once said, "Everybody talks about the weather but no one does anything about it." True. Most of us couldn't start a conversation if it weren't for the weather. But we can't control it, no matter how many spy novel villains have tried and failed. However, we can help those dealing with its aftermath. Show those folks in Texas and Oklahoma we understand what they're going through and help any way you can as others have helped us in the same situations, and likely will again.

Cut N Run wrote:I've killed about 75% of my turkeys without a decoy. Using decoys causes the turkey to focus on it and not you, though sometimes they can scare birds off. My experience is if a more dominant gobbler is coming in to decoys around a strut zone, your decoy is probably going to get his rubber @$$ kicked if you don't shoot that gobbler first.
I've been able to sneak farther away from a hung up gobbler and continue to call to make it sound like the hen is leaving. Often, that tactic will break the gobbler out of being hung up and get him to commit to your decoys, where the shooter will get a better shot. You may consider adding movement to your decoy by tying some braided fishing line to it to give it a little bit of motion. Calling with contented purrs and quiet yelps has worked for me too, just don't get too loud or move around much. I hope this helps.
Good advice Cut. You also might consider making your set-up using the terrain (if possible)in an area where the birds can't see your dekes until they're a little closer or put 'em in a different location. Decoy movement is key. If you use only a single hen, don't put her in the "alert" position. Try feeding or in breeding position near the jake. Agressive calling can make a jealous boss hen leas the gobbler away. However, if she gets agressive toward your soft calling, you can try "cranking it up" a notch (cutting, excited yelping) and maybe she'll get p.o.'d and come over to whip your butt with the "big boy" in tow!!

What 2009 holds, Pt. 1
Posted on 23 Mar 2009 by Josh Lile.
It is pretty clear that the Astros overachieved in 2008. The 'Stros had a major second half push that upped their record to 86-75. They had a pythagorean record of 77-84. Houston might need a minor miracle to approach 86 wins in 2009. It might help to actually look at the actual differences in the roster for 2009 though.

Hey, folks.
All you Speed Racer fans out there need to go snag the new DVD that was released last week. It has the first 11 episodes of the show on one DVD. There's also a SWEET limited-edition rubber DVD case that currently comes with the DVD.
Artisan says that if the first DVD sells well, they'll do the remainder of the Speed cartoons on DVD. If not, they won't.
So, if you are thinking about whether to grab this great disc, do it now!! Let's get the rest of this great grandfather of an anime out on DVD.

We've just had our first taste of fall with early morning temperatures in the 40s. Since I do see some differences in patterns with lower temperatures and higher humidity, I plan to get out early soon to pattern shells some while those temperatures are down. In that way I'll be ready for the fall season and also know just how my gun will pattern on those cool spring mornings next year.
If you've not patterned your gun on a cool and damp morning, it's something that you might want to try just to see if your patterns are effected.
I also allow enough time for my gun and my shells to become cool/cold to the touch, just like when I'm out hunting. I want to be as close to actual hunting conditions as possible. A cold gun, cold ammo and cold atmospheric conditions can make a difference in performance of our equipment.
Might be worth a try.

Its been a real busy week for me, as you can tell, it's been a week since I last posted.
So today I thought I'd drop a note and give a little recap about whats going on with me and Scouting.
The great news is that Scouting is doing great. Yesterday 4 more Scouts crossed over into our troop. Welcome additions all.
Monday, the troop started training on the Leave no trace principles. We are getting ready for back to back backpacking treks, starting with a nice weekend in April on a great section of the PCT.
In my next few podcasts I will be discussing Leave no trace in detail, so watch for that.
We are looking at packing the right gear and what is in each of the Scouts backpacks. Pairing down gear, and looking at multi use gear. Our focus for this year is on "Developing an appreciation for the Our doors".
We are doing this by getting out there and renewing our commitment to the Out door code and practicing leave no trace.
It certainly is not all work and no play. Taking the Scouts out into the wilderness proves to be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to fun and relaxation.
Once of the hardest things to work on is developing an understanding that sometimes its ok to just sit and listen to the trees, birds, and have quiet conversations.
Sometimes it's ok not to work on knots, but to play cards and sit by the fire.
Sometimes it's ok no to try to get as many requirements done for rank or merit badges, but admiring a water fall or the rushing of the river.
A change in philosophy to basic skills and appreciation of our wilderness area is the order of the day in our Troop. The advancement progress and other requirements will come.
Here's what I have found. It all comes together when the Scouts are enjoying themselves. Developing that appreciation for the outdoors, using the tools of the Outdoor code and the Leave no trace principles help to facilitate that.
So, it's been a real busy week. Scouting, family, work have all taken it's toll on the Scoutmaster this week, but at the end of the day… life is good.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – The Senate Education Committee, one day after meeting behind closed doors with Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves for more than an hour to discuss charter school legislation, took less than 20 minutes Tuesday to pass the bill.
The voice vote in favor of the charter school legislation was expected. Last year the Senate passed a similar bill allowing charter schools, which are publicly funded but exempt from many regulations governing traditional public schools.
Last year the legislation died in the House.
Like last year's legislation, the bill passed by the Senate Education Committee and expected to be taken up by the full Senate today, is broad, allowing an unlimited number of charter schools statewide and creating a new governmental entity to approve them.
Under the plan, school boards in districts accredited at the A and B level by the state Board of Education could veto charter schools from being developed within their boundaries. Many Northeast Mississippi legislators have said in recent days they would support charter schools only in D and F districts.
A section allowing virtual, or online, charter schools, supported by the legislative leadership, was removed from the bill in committee.
The committee met for about 20 minutes Tuesday in a crowded committee room to pass the bill to the floor of the Senate. But on Monday, the Senate Education Committee met with Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves for more than an hour in an unannounced meeting to discuss the legislation.
The Legislature has historically exempted itself from the state's open meetings law. But legislative rules require committee meetings to be announced by the chairman.
"I thought we had public committee meetings," said Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory. "Why did they have the need to meet in secret? That is not the way we do things."
Sen. David Jordan, D-Greenwood, a member of the Education Committee, said he got a phone call saying the lieutenant governor, an outspoken charter school advocate, wanted to meet with him.
"I guess most of us (members of the committee) met with the lieutenant governor," he said. "I didn't know what the meeting was about when I got there."
Laura Hipp, a spokesman for Reeves, said, "Lieutenant Governor Reeves meets with senators in his office all the time to discuss legislation, and he will continue to do so."
Senate Education Chair Gray Tollison, R-Oxford, said the meeting was held as a courtesy to provide members a copy of the bill so they could look at it overnight before Tuesday morning's vote.
The bill was made available to committee members, but not to the general public.
Asked if the meeting violated the chamber's own rules, Tollison said, "There was not any intention to do that."


text: Maude came to our family in December of 2006. While I wanted to add a dog to our family, I was not keen on a bulldog; I was thinking of a golden. But my husband had previously had a bulldog that he adored and wanted another. Maude was to be his birthday present IF we met her and her mother (and breeders) and liked how she looked. Well, all it took was one look for me to fall head over heels for Maude. She was absolutely the cutest puppy I'd ever seen and her mother was sweet and gorgeous! As we headed to our car, Maude's mom followed us as if to say, "Take good care of my baby." And we do and we always will. She puts the "D" in Diva and at the same time she is a huge Delight. She has been with us through heartaches and happiness. Maude believes that our guests come to see her, not us. And she's probably right. She stole our hearts that very first day and we have yet to recover them.

The combination of tart lemon and juicy blueberries make great cupcakes even better!
Unsalted butter tastes a little sweeter than the more common salted butter. We added the coarse salt for small bursts of saltiness to complement the sweetness of the other ingredients and to bring out the lemon flavor. If you don't have unsalted butter, salted butter can be used and omit the kosher salt.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Shenandoah and the Night
Official Link: http://shenandoahandthenight.com/
Shenandoah Ableman has the rare ability to turn any genre into a voluptuous experience. Comfortable singing in front of styles ranging from German cabaret to doo wop, her quintetShenandoah and the Night are bringing sexy back... one sultry style at a time. The band's new self-titled debut EP showcases this sensuality with deep confidence through a series of songs steeped in the tradition of American folk, but featuring a very un-American, almost overwhelming, nostalgic power - in the most literal and decadent definition of "romanticism". These songs ("So Fine" and "All The Beautiful Ladies" deserve a honorable mention) make us flirt with "dangerous" thoughts like the fragility of love, the desire for the lost past, the unreachability of perfect happiness, our vain but primary quest for beauty. They might not make us jump or feel happy - but the do make us feel alive. Can you afford to ignore it?

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

For political and religious reasons, adherents of the "new schools" of Tibetan Buddhism fostered by these new translations cast the older tradition of lineages and transmissions as impure and decadent.

Family: Apodidae, Swifts view all from this family
Description ADULT Has mainly dark brown plumage, but contrastingly light brown on throat and chest, and on lower back and rump. JUVENILE Similar to adult.
Dimensions Length: 4-4 1/2" (10-11 cm)
Habitat Common summer visitor (mainly May-Sep), favoring mature forest with dead trees and branches that provide natural hollows for nesting. Nests in chimneys and often feeds over towns. Forms huge fall staging roosts in large chimneys in some Pacific Northwest cities. Winters mainly in South America, but small numbers linger on Californian coasts outside breeding season.
Observation Tips Easy to see within range in summer.
Range Northwest, Alaska, Western Canada, Southeast, California, Rocky Mountains, Southwest
Voice Utters chattering twitters.
Discussion Similar to Chimney Swift. Barely overlapping ranges aid species separation, but note subtle differences in plumage and flight pattern: Vaux's has paler underparts and rump and has speedier flight, with shorter glides between bouts of rapid wingbeats. Sexes are similar.

Boston has a special place when it comes to the history of modern urban spaces in the United States. It has one of the worst of such spaces — the plaza in front of City Hall — and one of the best, the plaza of the Christian Science Center. Anyone who thinks that the latter can be "improved" is sorely mistaken. Yes, we like to have plazas filled with people and junked up with concession stands, but this place should not be retrofitted because of our penchant for "lively" spaces. The people who love this plaza and who have used it over the years appreciate its quietude as well as the generosity of its scale. It is pre-eminent in the sadly small list of successful public spaces in the United States. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Mark Jarzombek
Associate Dean, School of Architecture and Planning, MIT
The Christian Science Center is widely acknowledged as a compelling urban work of art. Its dynamic yet geometrically harmonious architectural forms frame a plaza of unparalleled dignity and repose, in itself a work of great distinction. Most important of all, the reflecting pool defines this context, elevating the terrestrial environment to a higher and more abstract plane of existence. The perfection of a pure and precise sheet of water of this scale, detached from the ground plane and seemingly independent of any container, is unique and powerfully affecting. Moreover, the volume of water contained in the basin is sufficient to allow the surface to display actions characteristic of a body of water in its natural state. When calm, the pool incorporates the sky as a tangible fourth dimension; when ruffled into wavelets it resonates of a profound depth. Other great reflecting pools — the Lincoln Memorial, the Taj Mahal, the Alhambra — are simply depressions in the pedestrian level; they lack the purity and the abstract integrity of the Christian Science pool. No one, however, would advocate the dilution of their noble defining qualities.
Understanding the unique exaltation of water as a primal element at the core of the Christian Science Center design, and preserving the means by which this has been achieved, is fundamental to any consideration of change. Those which have been proposed will almost certainly destroy the essence of this remarkable work.
Frederick A. Stahl, Faia
Kudos on a superb editorial on the Christian Science Center reflecting pool. The sales pitch to commit what you rightly call an act of "cultural vandalism" will be to turn it into a dumbed-down, so-called user-friendly urban picnic ground.
As if serenity and peace and quiet and a place to walk and think and bask in beauty, which I do there all the time, was not as necessary a need in the city as ice skating and outdoor dining and carousels, for all of which we have Boston Common. The Christian Science Center is more like the Public Garden, and should remain a peaceful and beautiful inner-city oasis.
There's nothing wrong at all with some new sorrounding towers — the area needs greater high-rise density of the sort that makes cities exciting — but the noble heroic architecture, both old and new, and the serene 600-foot pool that ties it all together, should be protected, not vandalized.

Henry Farber, Princeton's Hughes-Rogers Professor of Economics, is an expert in labor economics whose research analyzes trends in the labor market over the past 30 years. In the current economic downturn, he said, workers have stayed unemployed longer than in previous recessions. Farber sees "no signs of a brisk recovery" in the labor market, which always lags behind other economic indicators.

Perspective on: Trends in U.S. employment
Posted November 1, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
Name: Henry Farber
Title: Hughes-Rogers Professor of Economics
Scholarly focus: Labor economics, with a focus on worker mobility, labor unions and wage dynamics
Though the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, the U.S. unemployment rate has remained above 9 percent. What are some of the reasons for the weak job market?
Bottom line -- people aren't spending so firms are not hiring. Of course, it's always the case in recessions that firms lay off workers; they figure out how to be more productive, and productivity -- at least in the early parts of a recession -- actually grows. Firms have learned to work a bit more productively so they don't feel they need more workers, or they're afraid to hire more workers. The added factor this time around is that this recession is so broad-based that individuals generally are holding back from spending; their savings rates are at rather high levels. As a result, firms say, why should I hire more workers? People aren't buying things.
It's a vicious cycle, where the way to get people to buy things is to hire more workers, and the way to hire more workers is for people to buy more things, which is why we needed and probably still need a very aggressive stimulus package that pumps money into the economy and has firms hiring workers. I see no signs of a brisk recovery in the labor market, and the labor market always lags in recessions. It's the last thing to fall in the beginning and the last thing to come back at the end.
Farber's research on unemployment duration indicates that workers who lost jobs in the recent recession are much less likely to have found new jobs than in earlier recessions. (Graphic by Henry Farber)
What is the outlook for those workers who have lost jobs during the recent recession?
The outlook appears to be quite a bit worse than in earlier recessions. The latest data, which covers the period of the recession through 2009, shows that the workers who lost jobs in this recession are much less likely to be employed than in any earlier recession we have data on. Only about half of workers who report having lost a job between 2007 and 2009 were employed in January 2010. In any recession I have data on, and that goes back to the early 1980s, the re-employment rate never fell below 60 percent. The unemployment durations are staggeringly long, twice what they were.
More bad news is that those workers who lose full-time jobs and manage to find another job suffer larger earnings declines on average than in earlier recessions. This is largely because they are more likely than in earlier recessions to have found a part-time job rather than a full-time job.
This figure indicates the average percentage decline in real weekly earnings for workers who have been re-employed after losing their jobs. (Graphic by Henry Farber)
What does your research show about trends in job security in the United States?
I would say that a decline in job security in the U.S. has been going on for at least 20 years. Companies have moved toward a mode of operation where they have a smaller core of long-term employees. In earlier times, when a recession came, you tended to try to protect your core. Now, firms may feel they have less of a core to protect. As a result, they engage in layoffs a bit more easily than they did in the past.
What are some of the causes, over the long term, for declining job security?
One cause stems from around 1980, when the U.S. eliminated mandatory retirement. The government made it illegal for employers and employees to engage in a voluntary agreement where you'd work for a firm and leave when you were 65. The ability of workers to continue working past age 65 can make long-term employment relationships less valuable to firms because they need renewal where they can hire younger workers and where workers who have had a long and productive career can be phased out.
The other part of it is that the world has become more competitive. In 1960, Americans bought American-manufactured goods for the most part, and the firms that produced those goods had a protected market. Now, in a more competitive world, U.S. capital is very mobile and flows all over. In China, U.S. companies own a fair amount of productive capacity and they employ Chinese workers to build things. It's more profitable for them. What U.S. workers have to offer employers is, frankly, less rare than it used to be. There are good work forces in lots of places.
From left, Paige Shevlin and Aisling Cleary are among the students in Farber's graduate class, "Economics of Labor," which focuses on the theoretical framework underpinning economists' understanding of the labor market.
How much does job security differ for various parts of the work force?
It's pretty dramatic. Between men and women, the trend in declining job security is most evident for men -- it's just stark. For women, that trend was offset for a long time by their increased commitment to the labor force. Forty years ago, women would routinely leave the labor force to have children and maybe come back later when their children were older. Nowadays, those absences, if any, are fairly brief. Many more women stay and don't give up their jobs, so the trend for women is to have more stable employment than in the past. They have been doing this in the teeth of this storm of declining job structures that are not oriented toward long-term employment, so what we have seen for women was an increase in job security for a while, followed by some minor decreases.
The other interesting fact is that declining job security is completely restricted to the private sector. If anything, job security is much greater in the public sector than it was 30 years ago. I find that rather remarkable, and it feeds into the current debate about the appropriate size of government.
Farber, whose research examines issues and trends in worker mobility, wage dynamics and labor unions, confers with graduate student Neel Sukhatme after a session of the "Economics of Labor" class.
You are teaching two courses this semester. Have your students become more interested in the labor market and economics over the last few years?
Generally, enrollments in economics are at record levels at Princeton. Our total enrollments in undergraduate economics classes this term is up 26 percent from the same term last year. Enrollments of freshmen and sophomores are at record levels. I think the students' interest is genuine and has been piqued by the recession. Economics is in the news every day. People want to know who's right and what's going on. It's something they can relate to because they see it around them. They probably all know people who have lost their jobs. I have three children, two of whom have lost jobs in this recession.
In my economics classes, I try to teach students to think like economists. What I try to do is point out the real intellectual content and demonstrate how this is a very useful way of seeing the world. It's not just about how to make money. This is a way of being a good citizen and understanding important issues that are at the forefront of public debates. That's central to my personal teaching philosophy.

http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/artic ... dbb43da106Defensive coordinator returns to Cincinnati where he coached the Bengals secondary.
Last week it was two players returning to the city where they played in 2011 and this week its a coach as Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle heads back to Cincinnati.
Coyle spent 11 seasons on the Bengals coaching staff (2001-11), the last nine as their defensive backs coach. Unlike linebacker Karlos Dansby, who did not hide the fact that he was jacked up for his return to Arizona, Coyle downplayed that angle Tuesday at his weekly press conference. He did say, however, that he is well aware of how much his familiarity with Cincinnatis personnel will benefit Miami this week.
Obviously, I have a pretty good knowledge of these guys having been there as long as I was, Coyle said. Early in the week, you talk a little bit about that, but then youre into the normal game week preparation. Each week, we talk about personnel and certain guys might be more familiar with guys on a certain team, but its the next game on the schedule and Im looking forward to it.

S-12-0335, Eddie Heckman v. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad Company (Appellant)
Box Butte County, Judge Travis O'Gorman
Attorneys: Nichole S. Bogen, Thomas C. Sattler (Wolfe Snowden Hurd Luers & Ahl LLP) (Appellant) --- Andrew W. Snyder (Chaloupka Holyoke Snyder Chaloupka Longoria & Kishiyama PCLLO)---Deborah R. Gilg (U.S. Attorney), Kathryn Keneally (Assistant Attorney General), Robert L. Homan(Assistant U.S. Attorney) (for United States, Department of Justice as Amicus Curiae)
Civil: Personal injury by railroad employee; Federal Employers' Liability Act, 45 U.S.C. § 51 et seq. (FELA); damages
Proceedings below: A jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiff in the amount of $290,000 less 50% for plaintiff's contributory negligence. The court approved the verdict and entered judgment in favor of plaintiff and against defendant in the amount of $145,000. The trial court denied the defendant's motion for satisfaction and discharge of the judgment. Appellant filed a Petition to Bypass the Court of Appeals which was granted by the Nebraska Supreme Court.
Issues: 1. The district court erred in failing to find satisfaction and discharge of the judgment against BNSF after BNSF paid the district court clerk the amount of the judgment less the Railroad Retirement Act payroll taxes and other agreed upon setoffs. 2. The district court erred in holding that "... no portion of the general verdict shall be attributable to Plaintiff's wage loss claim," and "[n]o part of the judgment will be considered lost wages." (T39 and T51). 3. The district court erred in ordering the parties "...to agree, in writing, supported by consideration, so as not to place BNSF at odds with the statutory requirement to pay the Railroad Retirement Taxes to the IRS as permitted by the rules."(T51).

I'll not vote for Mitt Romney. I do not agree with his, or P. Ryan's message. I have never agreed with the republican message, now or in the forty some-odd years I have voted. I have to admit with being disappointed, not with the message of the democrats, but with their lack of follow through. They cave to readily to the polical pressures that be.
In some forty odd days, I will go to the polls, not vote early, nor absentee. I'll show my ID, sign my name and cast my vote.
I believe if you can't make your way to your polling place on the day of voting, your vote should not be counted. This goes for everyone. Early...absentee...military... One man, one vote. Too many exceptions are made.
Efforts at restricting voting are being made...they can be overcome.
It's your choice. Show up, or shut up. JD

Arizona Cardinals given updated logo for rest of the season
This is not the first time the Arizona Cardinals have received the new logo treatment from a website, but it might be the last.
@_Happy_Gilmore has created something for Arizona's NFL team and, unfortunately, it's not even inaccurate.
The Cardinals have lost seven straight games since starting the season 4-0, and are starting a quarterback who was taken in the sixth round of the NFL Draft less roughly seven months ago.
So yeah, while this logo stings a little, it's tough to argue against.

From the Archive: Dimebag Darrell and Zakk Wylde Discuss the State of Metal and Dissolution of Pantera
This past year, a number of popular guitar bands like the Hives, the White Stripes and the Vines seemed to take pride in playing few, if any, solos at all.
ZAKK: The only thing I think is really cool about that stuff is that it's guitar based. They're not doing solos, but thank fuck it's not, like, tons of Pro Tools. The bands are actually performing live, and the shit's actually kind of a little out of tune, but that's how it is — that's how a fuckin' rock and roll band sounds, you know? It shouldn't be perfect.
At least the Hives have two guys plugging their guitars right into the fuckin' amp, and the bass player's got a P-Bass or whatever, and they're just grinding it out. It's just meat-and-potatoes shit, like the Kinks on steroids. But at least they're a band, and they're writin' their own shit, as opposed to songwriters writing their music for 'em. The whole joy of being a real musician is writing your own music, you know what I mean? Backstreet Boys, 'NSync, all those bands — in Black Label, we call 'em "skin puppets," man, because that's what they are. They ain't real musicians.
DIME: But that's for somebody else, man. It ain't something for real music lovers at all. It's just a form of entertainment for some kids, you know what I mean?
ZAKK: I agree. But you look at Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page… I mean, Jimmy Page wasn't exactly Al Di Meola, but you can't take his songwriting away from him. Like "The Rain Song" — you can't take the fucking "Rain Song" away from Jimmy Page! He wrote that! Or Randy Rhoads playing "Over the Mountain." Or Eddie Van Halen playing "Eruption" or "Hear About It Later" -- not only did he perform it, he wrote it and played it! That's a real fucking musician. Bach, Mozart — all the greats always write their own shit, I don't care what anybody fucking says.
In our poll, among the Biggest Disappointments of 2002 was "No new albums by Metallica, Pantera, Van Halen or Guns N' Roses." Discuss.
ZAKK: The Guns N' Roses thing: I think Ax! should call up the old guys. No disrespect to the new guys, but the original Guns N' Roses lineup was flat-out one of the greatest bands that's ever been. It's just like, call the guys. I mean, how hard could it be to get Slash on the phone? Get the original lineup together, and make a fucking album that pisses all over Appetite for Destruction, and get it on. End of story, you know? That would be my biggest disappointment for the past year, and now that he's canceled all the fucking shows… the world's waiting for it to happen, you know? I think he's a great guy, and I think it could be massive. But then again, it's up to him.
DIME: Well, all I can say is, it's a touchy thing for me. If it's a disappointment that there ain't a Pantera record, I just want to let everybody know that it ain't because Dimebag Darrell ain't sitting here with a fucking cocked-and-loaded shotgun, ready to pull the fucking trigger. I've been waiting, ready to roll; so's my brother. Them cats [Phil and Rex] want to go do their thing. I've got a prepared statement I wanna lay on you, and I'd appreciate it if you'd print it verbatim, just like it is. That'll clear up the situation.
ZAKK: Pantera is the heaviest fuckin' band on the planet, brother!
DIME: Man, it's the only goddamn thing I ever gave a fuck about in my life, and it's an odd situation right now. It's not me holding anything back, that's all I can say. I respect the Pantera fans with all my heart. They've been so great to us for so long. Tell you, this last year has sucked the fucking biggest dong in the world for me and my brother. Since 9/11, it's just not been a good time. There's been a ridiculous amount of horseshit, and we're just ready to let this year pass on by I've had to reach inside, find my strength, get my shit together, figure out what I've gotta do, what I was born on this earth to do. It sucks, man. I miss the fans, I miss the music. But that's all right; we're gettin' some shit rolling, and it's coming.
What are your hopes and dreams for 2003?
DIME: Hopes and dreams for 2003? To have a better year than 2002! I'm looking forward to a better year, period -- gettin' back out and fuckin' rippin', comin' out with a kick-ass new record with New Found Power, and not lettin' anybody down, just goin' out there and throwin' down, doin' what I fuckin' do. This is what I'm meant to do, you know?
ZAKK: You wanna tell them about the album we were talkin' about doin' with you, me and Eddie Van Halen?
DIME: Break it out, dude!
ZAKK: We were sittin' there talkin' one day, and my wife just goes, "Why don't you and Dime make a guitar record together? I mean, you are guitar players, you're old friends. Why don't you just make a record together?" I said, "Yeah, it'd be a fuckin' piece of cake. We could put this thing together and then tour venues like the House of Blues, or whatever. We'd need a third guy, though." And my wife goes, "You're gonna have to call Eddie Van Halen for this one!"
DIME: Zakk done rang his ass and woke his ass up in the middle of the night! [laughs]
ZAKK: When we were on the Ozzfest, I'd call him up loaded. [laughs] I called him, he hung up; called him, he hung up; called him, he hung up; called him, he hung up. Then finally he goes, "What the fuck do you want?" I said, "Dude! We're gonna do this fuckin ' album — me, you and Dime from fuckin' Pantera!" He just goes, ''I've gotta figure out what the fuck's goin' on. I don't even know what's goin' on here at the fuckin' house! What are you fuckin' talkin' about?" It'd be like, everybody writes four songs on the record, and I'll just go, "Dime, what key is this fuckin' thing in?"
DIME: Send things back and forth till the shit's put together.
ZAKK: [to Dime] You've got the studio. We could do it up here, for fuck's sake!
DIME: Hey, strap Eddie down in Dime's compound! Hey man, no disrespect to Ed; if it weren't for Van Halen, I wouldn't be here.
ZAKK: There wouldn't be a fuckin' Pantera, and there wouldn't be a Black Label.
So you're still waiting to hear back from Eddie on that one?
ZAKK: Yeah, but it'd be fuckin' awesome.
DIME [laughs] Let's call him right now!

TUPELO – To catch this year's 43rd annual Daily Journal Relays you'll need to head today – not Saturday – to Tupelo High School.
"It's a little different deal this year," Tupelo coach Brian Jones said. "We planned it this way. Hopefully, running on a Friday will spark some interest.
"Also, being able to run at night will be a different experience for the athletes."
However, the meet could be postponed until April 5, Jones said, depending on today's weather forecast of rain. A decision will be made this morning.
The 13-team, two-division meet is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. with field events and the 3,200 meter run. The remainder of the running events will start at 6:15 p.m.
Tupelo, Columbus, New Hope, Olive Branch, Oxford, Saltillo and Starkville will compete in Division 1.
Biggersville, Booneville, French Camp, Greenville St. Joseph, Simmons and West Lowndes are scheduled to compete in Division 2.
Tupelo's boys and girls teams have competed in two meets this season – Mississippi College and Mississippi State.
"We ran at Mississippi State last week and had a pretty good day," Jones said. "We ran against some good teams.
"Running the (Journal Relays) gives us the opportunity to improve on what we've done. You want to see your times starting coming down from week to week. We're looking to see who moves forward before division time."
The North Mississippi meet for all classes is scheduled for May 4 while the state meets will be run May 11 and May 13 at Pearl High School.
Christina Daniels, the defending 6A state champion in the 3,200 meters, broke the school record at the MC meet when she was clocked in 11:22. The old THS mark was an 11:23 set by Emily Crow.
"Breaking the record was my goal for the end of the season," Daniels said. "I was excited. It came as a shock."
Daniels is one of two girls state champions returning for the Wave. Eliza Bigham returns in the high jump.
Charde Hannah, who won her heat last week at MSU in the 100-meter hurdles, is favored in her event.
Tupelo's boys are led by Darnell Collier, the defending state and Journal Relays champion in the 3,200 meters.
Andrew White is also expected to challenge in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters.
In the sprints, Marquis Allen and Rodney McIntosh will run the 100 and 200 meters, along with the 4×100 and 4×200 relays.
Jeremiah Dent has a season's best 45.4 throw in the shot put. Jlin Gasaway is a favorite in the triple jump.

The regular high school football season has finally arrived in Gadsden County, but it will be another week before any home field action.
After some brutal summer practice and exciting preliminary action, East Gadsden High School, West Gadsden High School and Robert F. Munroe Day School will all hit the road Friday to start their seasons away.
The 13 and Under AAU traveling basketball team, Gadsden County Ballerz, returned home with fourth place honor last week from the national competition in Kissimme. The team, coached by Barry Corker, Sr., is made up of young men 13 years of age and younger and in seventh grade. Ballerzs defeated teams from Atlanta, Jacksonville, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico in the games which lasted from July 24-31.
Darious Johnson may be the fastest guy in Gadsden County.
And he is one of reasons for all the optimism at East Gadsden High School.
It's finally time for football.
Johnson is a senior and Jaguar veteran who will start the season as a receiver and cornerback.
But he is also a track standout and proved it last spring when he came in second in the 300 meter hurdles at the Class 2A state championship finals at Winter Park. And that was after winning the preliminary and a lot of other track meets to get there.
In the central neighborhoods of Quincy, there is a range of hills infamous throughout the Florida Panhandle for their steeply sloped streets and ear-popping elevations.
While this is not exactly true, it certainly seemed so last Saturday during the second annual Run With the Moose 5K race. They were the kind of hills where you would expect to find Sherpa villages and yaks, instead of lawnmowers and dogs. To a wannabe runner, these hills were really steep.
And there were a lot more uphills than down.
Over Memorial Day weekend Quincy's Florida X-Tremeunder 16 basketball team took part in one of AAU's biggest tournaments in the country, the ESPN Wide World of Sport's Disney Classic.
The event attracted teams from as far away as New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, Indiana, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida.
The West Gadsden Panthers boy's and girls track teams placed 3rd overall at the Class 1A District 3 track meet at Maclay School in Tallahassee on April 14.
Marquis Foreman won 1st place in the high jump. Teron Fitzgerald won 1st place in the 300 hurdles.
Antwan Chaires won 1st place in the shot put.
These three, as well as Zachqur Beard (400), Dionte Jackson and Fitzgerald (110 hurdles), Keldrick Peoples (100 and 200), the 4x100, 4x400, and 4x800 relay teams have advanced to the regional meet held Thursday, April 21 at Maclay School.
The Munroe softball team won one and lost one last week in diamond action. The girls defeated Malone in Malone on Friday night for a 1A-2 district win.
The final score was 10-6. The Lady Cats held the Tigers scoreless until they allowed four runs to cross in the bottom of the sixth and two more in the bottom of the seventh. Haleigh Corbally picked up her sixth win on the mound. She struck out seven, walked seven in seven innings of work.
Ben Woodruff
aon Thursday, Dec. 2, the East Gadsden High School boys basketball team started the season off right with a commanding victory over the Blountstown Tigers. The Jaguars stingy defense and full court press were enough to frustrate Blountstown into multiple turnovers, allowing East to jump off to a 17-10 first quarter lead, and never look back.
After four consecutive wins to turn around their season, the Munroe Bobcats ran into a powerful Branford Buccaneer squad in the postseason Big Ten Bowl.
The result was a 52-12 defeat by Buccaneers on their home field on Thursday Nov. 18, where a faux pirate ship fires a cannon every time the local team scores.
It looked to be anyone's game until late in the second quarter with the score 24-6 in Branford's favor. Then the Buccaneers recovered a Bobcat fumble on the Branford 7-yard line and everything started going their way.

Discussion Widespread owl of wooded habitats, including mature suburban gardens. Mostly nocturnal, but sometimes starts feeding at dusk; prey includes small mammals and birds, insects, and other invertebrates. Screeching song and calls are a familiar sound, and this is the only small, "eared" owl you are likely to encounter within range covered by this book. Nests in natural tree holes and old woodpecker holes; readily takes to the provision of nest boxes. Several subspecies occur in North America, and birds also occur in two color morph extremes (gray and rufous) with intermediates. Shows considerable variation in relative proportions of different morphs across range: typically gray predominates in north and west areas, and in Texas, while rufous is commonest in east. Given this variation, sexes are similar.

Recall -- Firm Press Release
FDA posts press releases and other notices of recalls and market withdrawals from the firms involved as a service to consumers, the media, and other interested parties. FDA does not endorse either the product or the company.
JS Pelmini OK Inc Issues Allergy Alert On Undeclared Milk
And Soy In Potato Dumplings And Potato And Mushroom
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 14, 2013 - JS Pelmini OK, Inc. of Brooklyn, NY is recalling Potato Dumplings and Potato and Mushroom Dumplings, because they contain undeclared Milk and Soy. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The Potato Dumplings and Potato and Mushroom Dumplings products were distributed on or before 2/11/13 to retailers in New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Illinois.
These products are packaged in 1 lb. clear plastic bags with blue and brown or blue and black paper labels. The products are labeled KEEP FROZEN. The Potato Dumplings bears UPC code 6 54368 10038 6. The Potato and Mushroom Dumplings bears UPC code 6 54368 10039 3. There is no other coding.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
This issue was identified by a dual inspection by the NY State Department of Agriculture and the FDA and was caused by a failure to include proper sub-ingredients on the finished product labels. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that products containing milk and soy were distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of milk and soy. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a temporary breakdown in the company's production and packaging processes.
Consumers who have purchased these Dumplings are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 718-469-1490 Monday – Friday, 8 am-4 pm, EST.

On http://www.turkeydog.org John has pictures of 50 different breeds of turkey dogs. http://www.turkeydog.org/breeds.html
Take a look you may have a turkey dog on your hands too. If you do then you should check out the turkey dog to see if turkey dogging is legal in your state or one nearby. http://www.turkeydog.org/TurkeyDogMap2010.jpg
On the map you'll notice 4 states allow turkey dogs in the spring (SDA) TN, NE, MT, & UT. At one time I would not have been too excited about dogs running around the spring woods. However, now that I have a few years of turkey dogging experience I realize spring dogging would not be a problem. A properly trained dog would not be running freely around to flush birds, rather they are the hunter's partner who enjoy a day hunting and quietly sit by the hunter's side. Much like when youth and grandchildren are taken out for the experience.
For those who choose to bow hunt turkeys a turkey dog makes recovery of hit birds much, much easier. Vic has helped about half dozen bow hunters recover their birds after they had given up. Except for deer WI law is silent on using dogs for game recovery. Many WDNR employees have told me stories of recovering wounded gobblers with their bird dogs, including a couple of COs. So why not make spring turkey dogs legal to be there when needed?

Why did Andy Rubin step down yesterday as the head of Google's (GOOG) Android software operations?
Boutique research firm Hillside Partners's Rory Maher today opines that perhaps the reason its greater integration between Android and Google's "Chrome" operating system for PCs, given that Rubin's replacement is Sundar Pichai, who already has responsibility for Chrome:
We believe the move is the first step toward integrating the Chrome OS and Android OS into one that runs across mobile, PC, and likely TV as Google integrates its OS offerings into one as it seeks to draw more users in the era of multiple screens. Part of this initiative depends on the Company's success selling Chromebooks, its own netbook where all apps are web-based.
Maher argues that when the 650 million Android-based tablets and smartphones are lumped into the overall computing market, along with Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows and other platforms, Google controls 27% of the computing market.
He offers some survey data he's conducted that seems to show interest in Chromebooks, while noting that legacy applications such as Microsoft Office are a stumbling block for the software:
We surveyed 567 individuals about their computing habits in order to determine if chromebooks could generate meaningful sales over the long-term. We learned that at current prices chromebooks could carve a niche with personal users for Internet and email, but too many respondents use native apps like Micosoft Office extensively for chromebooks to reach a mass audience at this time. This is likely to change over the long-term […] 100% of our respondents used Microsoft Office "often" at work while 80% used it "sometimes" at home. We believe this indicates that for now Office is too prevalent for most users to use chromebooks for much of their computing needs whether at work or home.
