It seems like in the last couple of years there have been a lot of home invasion robberies in our region. Something you never heard of before. Most of them are clustered around the city (Nashville) a hundred miles away, but a few days ago a couple of young (white - just for the record) thugs beat the crap out of a couple of seniors in their rural Eagleville TN home - for less than $50. They walked around a security gate and up a long driveway, knocked on the door and forced their way in. Pistol whipped the 86 Year old WW2 vet and smacked around his 93 Year old 70 pound wife.My wife and I live at the end of a long rural driveway. What do you do? Maybe I should get a pair of big mean dogs. Maybe I should start keeping my loaded revolver on top of the clock next to the door.But dang, I really don't want to live like that - grabbing my gun every time a Jehovah's Witness comes up the drive, and worrying about some body getting bit by the guard dogs. Criminals suck, because of the way they effect all of us. I never used to even lock my garage door. Now that harmless old man is apt to shoot the meter reader out of being terrorized like that. It's the way of the world I guess. Gotta adapt.
If you do not have a firearm in your home, your're pretty much defenseless no matter where you live. :(
don't open the door if you don't know who it is and keep the gun loaded and at hand.
preparation is done in the absence of a threat. when the threat appears, it's to late. i live in a safe area and rarely have anyone knock on my door. that doesn't mean that there won't be some kook wandering the woods, or some drunk or high kid that ends up on my street looking for trouble.i choose not to wait unit "it comes to that". i will be prepared and then be happy if it never comes to that.
We keep a few items strategically located around the ol' homestead, a tomahawk here, a buffalo lance there, some more modern attitude realignment tools hither, thither, and yon. They are out of sight, and out of reach of small children, but readily accessible for we adults. We rest more comfortably, and so do our neighbors.
Motion detecting lights and a dog will give you a warning to possible danger. a firearm is a worthy investment now with the economy and drug use being the way it is. I can't believe how much burglaries and home invasions have increased just in the past few years in bedroom communities. Stock up on ammo now while you still can. Might come in handy when things start getting worse.
Same here I have my concealed carry permit and open carry on my property, just in case of critters or vermin of any size. theres also a pistol near most places I park my butt in the house
I had rather be ready and nothing happens, than something happens and not be ready.Loaded 24/7 and ready at hand. :)doak

Published Apr. 2, 2013
Springfield, Ohio – Wittenberg University will observe International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2013 with a presentation by John Koenigsberg, a Gahanna, Ohio, resident who survived the Holocaust in The Netherlands, at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, in Bayley Auditorium of the Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center.
Koenigsberg was just five years old when his grandfather was taken from his home in Amsterdam, beginning an amazing journey in which his father joined the resistance and his family split up and went into hiding. He lived with a Catholic family in a southern Dutch province just 10 miles from the German border for much of World War II as more than 6 million Jews, including Koenigsberg's grandfather, were murdered by the Nazi regime led by Adolf Hitler.
Many years later, Koenigsberg sent detailed information about the family that sheltered him during the holocaust to Yad Vashem, the national Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem. The Snijckers family was honored at a ceremony in The Netherlands in September 2009 by the Israeli ambassador with the "Righteous Among the Nations" award, the highest honor awarded to non-Jews who acted according to the noblest principles of humanity by risking their lives to help Jews during the Holocaust.
Now 74, Koenigsberg speaks regularly about his experiences and shares personal artifacts with audiences. His goal is to educate audiences so the Holocaust will never become a "footnote in history."
Also on Tuesday, April 9, Wittenberg will host an interfaith prayer service at 11:20 a.m. in Weaver Chapel. During the service, there will be reflections, readings, music and prayers on the theme for International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2013, which is "Never Again: Heeding the Warning Signs."
Koenigsberg's presentation is sponsored by the Jewish Culture Club, and it is open to the public free of charge.

Hudson animal park has history worth remembering
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | October 21. 2013 9:41PM
John Leone of the Benson Park Building Committee, shows off a conceptual rendering of the museum being planned inside Benson Park. (APRIL GUILMET PHOTO)
John Leone, a member of the Friends' building committee, said that as of right now the group is still "pretty far away" from its $500,000 fundraising goal.
"We have no insulation, no heat and no water right now, so we're pretty much starting from scratch here," he added.
Harry Schibanoff, chairman of the Benson Park Committee, said monthly park cleanup days have been successful because of the efforts of rake-wielding citizens.
"People have been so willing to help," Schibanoff said. "They're raking up branches, they're blowing away leaves."
Last Saturday, a handful of local Cub Scouts were on hand weeding the park's butterfly garden, while other volunteers were installing some recently donated benches throughout the park.
A fundraising craft fair is also being planned for Dec. 7. The fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Hudson Memorial Middle School.

(Read the rest of Michael's post at the NMAH blog)"This September, Americans everywhere will reflect on the events of a Tuesday morning a decade ago; a day which forever changed our country. However as we do this, many people are unaware of the history of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the reasons for its creation.
The truth is that TSA has been, and will forever be, intimately linked to the events of September 11. The agency was created on November 19, 2001, shortly after the attacks, when the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) was signed into law by President George W. Bush. This landmark legislation authorized the creation of a new federal government agency specifically designed to strengthen the security of the nation's transportation systems while also ensuring the free movement of people and commerce."

Well I guess you failed big time. "while also ensuring the free movement of people and commerce"
TSA has been the biggest obstacle to free travel we have EVER seen.
I want to by tickets on the plane, like the old Eastern Shuttle. Nobody need to know who I am or where I am going in MY OWN COUNTRY!
Maybe I could move to North Korea and be more free.

I was a member of the first screening team called the "MSF or Mobile Screening Force" that provided screening at BWI, the first federalized airport. Being the first STSO off the bus at 0100 in the morning, under the cover of darkness and the protection of the National Guard, made me realize that we are all vulnerable to attack regardless of where we live and what we do. Ten years later, I am now a TSM at DFW and my passion for committment to the job has not changed. The Smithonian is such a historical place of honor that we should all be proud to be a part of such a great institution.

The TSA does NOT deserve a mention in the Smithsonian - the TSA is a sad reminder of how out-of-control disconnected government bureaucrats can have little respect for their own citizens. The TSA has played a key role in American citizens loss of respect and confidence in authority - your organization hardly merits even a mention in a national institution such as the Smithsonian.

Perhaps he could include a copy of the Constitution as it existed on September 10, 2001? This would be the original version before the TSA began to ignore major portions of it.

For another perspective on the net benefits TSA, congress and other parts of the security enterprise have contributed in response to "day which forever changed our country," see the 9/11 Ripple video posted by CNN today: http://www.cnn.com/interactive/2011/09/specials/911.ripple/index.html?hpt=hp_c2

That's why they *should* be there. It's important to remember the failures so that future generations can avoid the same mistakes. Like the McCarthy communist hunts or the WWII Japanese internment camps.

Contrary to your "historian's" assertion, most Americans are very much aware "of the history of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the reasons for its creation." They're even more aware of what a bureaucratic monster the TSA has "evolved" into during the past decade, a monster that deserves the scorn and distrust that so many Americans have for it. That's presumably why you need to spend an unknown amount of money paying a "historian" to do an Orwellian rewrite of the TSA's deplorable history.
But you shouldn't let that inconvenient truth stop you from celebrating the upcoming Anniversary with an outpouring of self-congratulatory propaganda.

Some of the comments on this blog really make me worry about the ignorance of this nation.
The historian position is a waste of tax payers money? Really? I can think of more than enough things that our nation wastes your tax dollars on, and a man who keeps record of what happened after a serious national event doesn't seem to be one of them. Besides, do you have any idea how much "tax payers monies" are being "wasted?" Didn't think so...
I am offended by you "Americans," if you can even call yourselves that. TSA has done a great job over the past 10 years. I would love to see any of you get off your couches and do even half the work that TSA has done. What happened to your national pride? Will it take another 9/11 for you to realize how necessary things like TSA are?
You nay-sayers make me sick.

So Anon, in what industry would a 70% failure rate be acceptable? Medicine? Education? Manufacturing?
Well, that's what we're dealing with when it comes to TSA.
TSA's doing a good job, all right. Just like Brownie did after Katrina.

Please STOP using the memory of 9/11 to justify your agency's existence and its horrid record of success. You are only tarnishing the memory of those lost on that fateful day.

On what do you base your assertion that the TSA has done a great job? Because they say so? Please site some facts to back that up. Since they don't allow independent testing, it's pretty much impossible to tell how effective they are.
My national pride is why I criticize the TSA. They go against the basic ideas this country was founded on.

Well anonymous, you stated "They go against the basic ideas this country was founded on."
The 13 states banded together for the common defense, a defense that provides many freedoms, and rights. But those freedoms and rights all do have restrictions to be abided by, by civilized persons.
I read many of the faceless banter, and I hear many new Jane Fonda.

Chain thru the chocks eliminates chafe.
Re: What strategy do you employ when using a drogue
Other consideration is chafe. Need to deploy whatever device you choose and look carefully at the runs. On my boat have sturdy cleats at extreme aft corners but still put chaffing gear over bridle lines and ran SS plate under cleat over stern to minimize. If your stern is wide enough can get some modest steering action by shortening one side of bridle versus the other. Had series drogue made up in sections. If expect storm whole thing goes over.If just to keep from tripping while running ( and don't expect things to get worse) don't put on last section with just chain at end.
Re: What strategy do you employ when using a drogue
How about he drouge I just bought, it has no metal ring to keep it open. Will it stay full or should I build a ring for it?

Re: What strategy do you employ when using a drogue
I run my drogue off the stern quarter. Centreing it with a bridle leaves you rolling when the wind dies, but the sea remains. With it off one quarter, windage on your rig takes the roll out of her. It's also much easier to deploy without the bridle.
I use a length of chain to take the rode out beyond anything which can chafe it.
Friends, using a series drogue in the Southern ocean, said they found it's not all that hard to recover. They are extremely tedious to build.
I found that using a big round mooring ball as a mold ,and a lot of car seat belt, makes a galerider type easy to build. I just stapled it together over the mold, then sewed it up, removing the staples as I came to them.
Freinds, using a gale rider in the NZ Queens birthday storm, said it worked best 80 ft behind their boat, eliminating the need to carry excessive amounts of rode.

Heavy Weather Sailing - Alibris Marketplace
Steve Dashew's SURVIVING THE STORM tops my own list - if you were only gonna read one book on heavy weather tactics, that's the one I'd suggest...
Others I'd recommend are Hal Roth's HANDLING STORMS AT SEA, HEAVY WEATHER TACTICS USING SEA ANCHORS & DROGUES by Earl Hinz, and Roger Marshall's ROUGH WEATHER SEAMANSHIP... Victor Shane's DROGUE DEVICE DATA BASE is by far the most comprehensive collection of accounts of a wide variety of drag devices used by all manner of vessels, very interesting reading, even if many of the accounts involve the use of parachutes by commercial fishing vessels, etc...
John Harries of MORGAN'S CLOUD has one of the best ongoing discussions of drogue usage on his website, which is one that every offshore sailor should have bookmarked, a fantastic resource:
Attainable Adventure Cruising
As to the OP's question, a couple of points...
We can only guess what sort of boat he's talking about here, but in general most boats will be better balanced and more easily managed sailing deep in heavier seas and winds under a small headsail/storm jib, than under a main alone... Most boats would rather be 'pulled' along in such conditions, rather than 'pushed'... Not to mention, one can immobilize the boom, eliminating the need for running a preventer, or the risk of an accidental jibe, etc...
There can certainly be such a thing as using 'too much drogue' in conditions that are boisterous, but not necessarily extreme... Again, not sure of what sort of drogue he's referring to, but chances are the use of a full series drogue would be overkill for the conditions that are typical for that passage, unless crew exhaustion became a factor, or the boat really had to be stabilized to effect a repair, or whatever...
With any drogue deployment, i'd recommend heaving-to to do so, rather than attempting to do so 'on the fly'... Greatly reduces the risk of a snag, injury, or the damage to vulnerable gear at the stern such as a wind vane... And, it goes without saying, one should make an effort to clear the stern of the usual accumulation of cruising crap before beginning any passage on which the deployment of a drogue might be necessary... Easier said than done on the vast majority of cruising boats out there today, of course...
The attachment and use of a series drogue came up recently on another board, the following is copied from my responses... the first is in regard to the shackle/chainplate attachment point for the bridle:
It's a good idea to try to do it your way, but then what are you using for your bridle? Is the width of the shackle's jaw sufficient to accommodate whatever size thimble you might be using? Or, might you have to employ 2 shackles, pin-to-pin, to make it work?
I was thinking of doing the same thing you are, when I first started out... But, my bridle is a pair of Yale mooring pennants, which use the heavy duty stainless thimbles with the higher sides than ordinary thimbles (the type you definitely want to use for this application, IMHO) And, the only type of shackle that will work with those eyes, is an appropriately sized bow shackle. I didn't like the idea of using 2 shackles, so I simply went with an oversized chainplate, allowing a margin for the pin to work a bit within the hole, as the boat yaws...
Don Jordan's recommendation on the bridle length is determined by the width of your transom, if memory serves... But what I thought was more important for me, was sizing the bridle so that each leg was IN LINE with the angle of the hull at the corner of the transom (and thus, the chainplate), when the bridle was taut (in the same way a chainplate should be in line with the angle of your shrouds, in other words)... Happily for me, the length of my bridle as recommended by Jordan coincided with the length that maintained that angle, anyway...
I've only deployed mine once, and then not in anger...
It was off the SC/GA seacoast several years ago, I wanted to give it a whirl to sort it all out... Wind as about 25 with higher gusts at the time, seas pretty steep as is typical through there...
Naturally, as soon as I had it deployed, the winds began to moderate noticeably...(grin) So, I only rode to it for less than an hour, but here are my impressions...
You've really got to take care deploying it, make sure everything is ready to run before putting anything in the water... I did pretty much the same as I do when deploying the rope and spinner for my towed generator. Lashed the anchor/bitter end to one corner of the transom, then let it out from the bridle end until half of it is out, then cut the lashing... that all went pretty smoothly, but it could be a whole different ballgame in more extreme conditions, and could be a very easy way to damage or lose your windvane... I can't imagine having to try it in a full gale, with something like a tender on davits, or half of the crap one sees festooning the sterns of so many boats out there today...
The much-touted "bungee effect" was definitely noticeable, even in such relatively moderate conditions, it settled things down pretty dramatically... I continued to run with the vane doing the steering, but even lashing the helm wouldn't have made much difference... In true storm force conditions, of course, things could be entirely different. You might feel the need to try to steer, but I imagine just lying to the drogue would be pretty effective...
Retrieving it was not nearly as difficult as I had imagined. I simply hove-to, and hauled it in over the quarter by hand - tiring for sure, but certainly do-able on my boat... I actually made a bit of a blunder deploying it in such shallow water, it was hanging pretty much straight down, and I suspect the anchor at the end of the drogue (22 lb Bruce, in my case) was laying on the bottom from time to time, I was lucky it didn't bite... (grin)
Main difficulty in retrieval, for me, is the fact that I've used Amsteel for mine, so it's pretty 'slippery'... A pair of those 'grabber' type gloves probably would have helped a bit...
Next time, although I've never seen this mentioned in any of the accounts I've read re the JSD, I'd think about attaching a fender to the end of the drogue at the anchor, using a line about 20' in length... I would hope this would serve to keep the end from sinking too much, and exerting too much of a downward pull on the stern, which a boat like mine is definitely vulnerable to, given her lack of buoyancy aft... Also, I think it would simply be nice to know where the end of the drogue is in the seas, and I would hope would greatly lighten the load during retrieval...
All in all, I was very favorably impressed with what I saw... But of course, I would be quite happy if I never had cause to put it in the water ever again... (grin)
Re: What strategy do you employ when using a drogue
We always tow our 'drogue anchor' in the second wave behind boat (100ft+).
We can see it in clear water.
This 3 Kilo claw anchor is easy to retrieve with the a main sheet winch.
Clear distinctions need to be made between 'drogues' deployed to improve steering at hull speed (what we do) and drogues to primarily reduce speed in surfing conditions.

In the aftermath of the tragic events in Jerusalem, President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority urged continuation of peace talks while a seniior Egyptian official told the Jerusalem Post, "Syria may be interested in focusing international attention on the situation in Gaza and the West Bank instead of the situation in Lebanon." He insisted the "current escalation on the Palestinian front is in the interest of the Syrians." They are using Hamas to further their own goals in Lebanon and halting fighting between Hamas and Israel would only serve to refocus attention towards Lebanon whose government situation has been paralyzed for months.
President Abbas insisted peace efforts must continue "despite all the circumstances we're going through and all the attacks we're experiencing, we insist on peace." An Israel spokesperson said his nation was ready to resume peace discussions but would not indicate a date when that would occur. The seminary shooting has seriously damaged efforts on the part of Egypt to play a role in establishing conditions for a cease fire in the Gaza area.
Palestinians in Gaza went into the streets to shout approval for the death of innocent people in Jerusalem even as they express anger at the death of innocent civilians in their own area. Their expressions of joy make a mockery of the death of innocent civilians in Gaza.

n my opinion, anybody who does not currently possess a handgun would be well advised to start with a .22LR revolver or auto-loader. As I have written before, a .22 is the most economical (I hate the word: Cheap!) gun to shoot. There is plenty of .22 ammo around for less than $20 per 500 rounds. This means that there is no reason not to go out and get plenty of practice. I think that there will definitely be a place in a survivalists battery for a few .22LR handguns. And, it is a good place to start.
I always have felt that a revolver is a better choice for a first time gun owner. You can load it and leave it that way. It is always loaded and ready to go. All of the springs are at ease." Then all you need to do to fire it is pull the trigger. In my humble opinion it the best gun to start with. Later, after lots of practice, the new shooter can consider semi auto handguns--again in .22LR.
There are a number of well made .22 revolvers available. Makes such as Ruger, Smith and Wesson, Charter and Taurus-among others-are readily acceptable for the beginner. There are only two types of revolvers-single action that must have the hammer cocked manually every shot, and double action, where you can just pull the trigger, OR, cock the hammer by hand to shoot it. I prefer the double action for serious business, but the single action (generally based on the old cowboy Colt Army revolver of 1873) is fun to shoot. The single action would be adequate to hunt and practice with, but for self defense, the double action is better.
Revolvers generally are made to hold 6 shots. However, some are made to hold more-some as many as 9 or 10. The higher capacity guns are generally double action.
I often have people ask me What is the most accurate ammunition?" Actually, there is no way to answer that. Every gun is slightly different. With any firearm, it is necessary to try a number of different types of ammo to learn which is best for your individual weapon. Once you figure out which ammo works best in your particular gun, then stick with that brand and load up with it. .22 ammo is cheap enough that everybody should be able to accumulate several thousand rounds. I believe that the .22 will be the most used caliber if TSHF.

About Mount Sinai's Kidney / Pancreas Transplant Program
Mount Sinai's Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Program is one of the nation's leading academic kidney transplant programs. Since our inception in 1967, we have performed more than 3,000 adult and pediatric kidney transplants.
One of the first kidney transplant programs in the Northeast, we have made significant strides in providing more options for patients previously denied access to transplantation due to medical factors.
Comprehensive, Multidisciplinary Care
Located in New York City, the Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Program is part of Mount Sinai's Recanati/Miller Transplant Institute (RMTI), a comprehensive adult and pediatric abdominal organ transplantation center. Our multidisciplinary team includes experts in nephrology, surgery, anesthesiology, critical care, transplant immunology, and urology. This interdisciplinary approach allows us to provide the best in patient care by taking advantage of the most innovative developments in surgical techniques and transplant medicine. Patients who come to our program have access to the services of The Mount Sinai Hospital, an internationally acclaimed medical institution.
Increasing the Number of Donors
Mount Sinai has one of the largest living donor programs in the United States. Half of the yearly transplants performed involve living donors. As part of our commitment to enhancing quality of life for patients before and after transplant, surgeons at our hospital performed the first laparoscopic donor surgery in New York State in 1996. This procedure dramatically reduces recovery time for individuals donating a kidney to a loved one. So far, more than 1,000 laparoscopic donor surgeries have been performed in our transplant institute.
Our newly endowed Zweig Family Center for Living Donation focuses on providing the best in medical, surgical, and psychological care to living organ donors. The Zweig Family Center for Living Donation is further developing Altruistic and Donor Exchange programs which will enable all potential recipients to have optimal opportunities to access live donor transplantation.
Mount Sinai is one of the first programs in the country to offer "donor exchanges." This innovative program enables kidney transplant recipients who have willing but incompatible living donors to exchange kidneys with compatible donors. We participate in local and national paired exchange programs and donor chain initiatives.
Increasing Clinical Eligibility
Mount Sinai has made great progress in increasing the eligibility of patients previously denied transplantation due to clinical factors. For example, Mount Sinai has an active Paired Kidney Exchange program allowing patients with incompatible donors to receive compatible organs through a process commonly known as a "kidney swap". We developed and implemented a successful desensitization program to reduce the effects of antibodies that may hinder the ability of many to receive a successful transplant. We can now treat many patients who, due to their high immunologic risk, were previously ineligible for transplantation.
In addition, HIV-positive patients may be eligible for kidney transplant despite the fact that they have the virus that causes AIDS. Due to therapeutic advances in HIV/AIDS care, those with the AIDS virus now can be considered as candidates for transplantation. Mount Sinai is one of the few programs in the country with the expertise to successfully transplant these patients. We can also perform kidney transplants in patients with hepatitis C.
Our Pediatric Renal Transplant Program is one of the busiest pediatric transplant programs in the nation.
Mount Sinai is one of the few centers in the New York region that offers pancreas transplantation as a surgical option for people with type I diabetes. Mount Sinai offers world-class care through a wide variety of organ transplants. We have extensive experience in multi-organ transplants, including combined liver-kidney transplants and heart-kidney transplants.
Research Initiatives
Mount Sinai researchers are working hard to improve organ preservation, reduce rejection, minimize postsurgical complications and the side effects of immunosuppression, and prevent the recurrence of disease.
Two large NIH-funded multicenter trials in transplantation are ongoing. One is a genomics in transplantation study focusing on mechanisms of late graft injury. Peter S. Heeger, MD, is running the Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation Consortium, which is evaluating biomarkers as predictors of heart or kidney transplant outcome. Both studies are enrolling new patients. Additional efforts focus on mechanisms of ischemic injury and the pathophysiology of rejection in kidney and liver transplant patients.

Jazz fans in attendance at EnergySolutions Arena on Thursday watching the draft had a common emotion after the team traded for Michigan point guard Trey Burke: excitement.
"I'm really excited," Josh Watts said.
"I was thinking we'd get CJ McCollum or Michael Carter-Williams, but not Burke," Bryan Jones said. "I'm way excited now."
"I thought we'd get a big guy, or the German point guard Dennis Schroeder," Brad Woodhouse said. "I'm much more excited for Burke than I would have been for someone else."
Fans also expressed pleasure with the aggressive way Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey used the picks the team had.
"I think Dennis Lindsey is a genius for turning two first-round picks into the best college player in the nation from last year," Jones said. "We gave up nothing and got the best player."
"I think for what they would have gotten at picks 14 and 21, it wouldn't have added up to what they got in Trey Burke," Jordan Blackham said.
Cindy Forti said she would have been happy with Shabazz Muhammad, the player who the Jazz drafted and traded to Minnesota in the deal for Burke, but she's happier to have the young point guard who led his team to the NCAA Championship game last season.
While no fans who spoke to The Salt Lake Tribune were upset with landing Burke, some were more tempered with their expectations than others.
"Burke would have been my first pick because of what he did in the NCAA Tournament and his competitiveness," Adam Mason said. "But it will be interesting because he's kind of a scorer more than he is a passer. It will be interesting to see how we utilize him and what other players we have on the team."
Others had no such reservations.
"I think Burke's going to be an All-Star here," Jones said. "I think the Jazz have built a starting five that will be championship-caliber in two or three years if they keep adding young pieces and if everything pans out."
Fans were also pleased with the team's second pick, Rudy Gobert, though they knew less about the 7-foot-2 French center than they did about Burke.
"I know he's a shot-blocker," Jones said. "I know he's really raw, but he should be a good third or fourth big guy coming off the bench to block shots."

San Diego Union-Tribune Endorses Fracking, Overlooks Impact On California's Wine Industry
An editorial in the November 15 edition of the San Diego Union-Tribune advocated for an "oil-shale revolution" by expanding fracking in California, completely ignoring the harmful economic and environmental impacts fracking could have on agriculture and the renowned, multi-billion dollar wine industry in California.
The Union-Tribune gave a whole-hearted endorsement of fracking, specifically in the Monterey Formation region of central California, saying in its editorial [1]:
On Dec. 12, the federal Bureau of Land Management is set to auction off drilling rights to nearly 18,000 acres in Monterey, San Benito and Fresno counties. We hope Gov. Jerry Brown and state regulators talk a calm look at fracking and its long history. Environmentalists' griping about fracking's allegedly huge downside only ramped up when new methods proved transformative for oil and gas exploration.
Even if California's media haven't caught on to the state's potential for a Bakken-style economic boom, the oil industry has. By far the BLM's biggest 2011 lease was the $180,000 paid for a 200-acre parcel by Vintage Production California, a Bakersfield-based subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum, the third-largest U.S. oil and gas producer. On Oxy's website, it estimates the shale reserves on California land it already controls to have over 20 billion barrels of potential oil - a claim that the company says is made in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rule that only "economically producible" reserves can be cited in SEC filings.
The Union-Tribune left out some important voices in the discussion on fracking, most notably farmers and winery owners. Simon Salinas, a member of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, has expressed [2] fear that it could taint the food and water supply needed to grow crops or produce wine -- which in California is a $19.9 billion [3] a year industry.
Western States Petroleum Association -- an oil industry lobbying group -- has countered [4] that, so far, fracking in California has required less water than in other states due to the type of fracking being done. However, a June study [5] by the nonprofit Pacific Institute noted the massive amounts of water needed to frack. Heather Cooley, a researcher from Pacific Institute, said [5]:
We have concerns about water availability in California, so if there is a large increase in fracking, it could ... put strain on California's existing resources.
A Houston Chronicle article [4] counters the Western States Petroleum Association's comments as well, pointing out that "the amount of water needed for fracking could grow if the practice becomes widespread."
California is well known for its variable environmental conditions. The Association of California Water Agencies, a coalition of 450 public water agencies, has stated [6] that 2007 was one of the driest years on record causing former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to proclaim drought emergencies in parts of California. With climate change affecting weather patterns, the coalition believes these drought-like conditions will only worsen and alter the state's water supply. Given that at the peak of the season even smaller wineries consume up to 30,000 gallons [2] of water per month, even small amounts of water being detoured to drilling operations could be detrimental to wineries across California.
The Union-Tribune also whitewashed concerns about groundwater contamination related to increased fracking activity. Groundwater pollution has already been seen in Kern County, California where in 2009 a farmer was awarded $8.5 million in damages [7] after almond trees were harmed when he irrigated them with well water that was contaminated by oil and gas operations. While it remains unknown if fracking fluids were part of the waste water, the potential for contamination is clear and has an impact on the agriculture industry. Earlier this year, several members of upstate New York's wineries [8] and breweries asked Gov. Mario Cuomo to ban fracking in New York due to fears that groundwater contamination will force them to close or to relocate [9].
The Union-Tribune, however, refuses to even acknowledge and inform its readers of these potential hazards of fracking, instead opting to push the oil and gas industry narrative.

2013-14 Men's Basketball Summer Prospectus

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – For the past two seasons, Alec Brown and Keifer Sykes have led the Green Bay men's basketball team as young players. Heading into 2013-14, Brown and Sykes are again the unquestioned leaders on the Phoenix team, but this time as elder statesmen. Brown is a young senior and Sykes is still just 19, but the duo begins next season with a combined 2,092 career points and three All-Horizon League awards.
Brown (14.1 ppg) and Sykes (15.9 ppg) headline four returning starters for head coach Brian Wardle, who enters his fourth season at the helm of the Phoenix program. A year ago, the Phoenix posted an 18-16 record, finished tied for third in the Horizon League and was a desperation buzzer-beating three away from a title game berth in the Horizon League Championships.
Junior Greg Mays, who made 18 starts, returns to the Phoenix after coming into his own as a sophomore. The 6-foot-9 explosive post player averaged 6.8 points and 4.5 boards per game and led the team with a field goal percentage of 52.4 which included 21 dunks. One of only three Phoenix players to start all 34 games in 2012-13, Jordan Fouse returns as a sophomore. Fouse's rookie campaign included becoming the first freshman to lead the Horizon League in rebounding since 1996, breaking the program's freshman records for rebounds and steals in a season and landing on both the conference's All-Newcomer and All-Defensive teams.
Other Phoenix returners include Carrington Love, who played in all 34 games as a freshman, and senior Daniel Turner and sophomore Josh Humphrey, who look to bounce back from knee injuries which limited them in 2012-13.
CAN I PLAY NOW?: In 2012-13, Alfonzo McKinnie could only compete in practice for the Phoenix after transferring from Eastern Illinois. Now that he has paid his dues and complied with NCAA transfer rules, the 6-foot-8 junior is ready to contribute. As a sophomore at EIU, McKinnie averaged 10.2 points and seven rebounds while ranking second in the Ohio Valley Conference in field goal percentage (52.4%).
FRESH FACES: Including two local products, Green Bay welcomes three freshmen to the roster in 2013-14. Turner Botz and Kenneth Lowe will remain teammates after starring at Little Chute High School and garnering All-State accolades as seniors. The 6-foot-6 Botz is a hard-nosed player with a sweet stroke while the 6-foot-7 Lowe gives Green Bay another explosive athlete and rebounder. A 6-foot-4 Canadian guard from IMG Academy, Tevin Findlay adds a third freshman to the mix. Findlay is a slasher who averaged 15 points per game at his Florida prep school.
WAITING IN THE WINGS: Rutgers transfer Vincent Garrett rounds out the program and is waiting to determine if he will be granted an NCAA waiver to play immediately or will sit out the 2013-14 season. Like Sykes and McKinnie, Garrett is a product of Chicago's Marshall High School. The 6-foot-6 Garrett was an All-Region player at Lee Junior College before heading to Rutgers.
RESCH FOR SUCCESS: During Brian Wardle's tenure as head coach of the Phoenix, Green Bay has excelled on its home floor at the Resch Center. Including a 24-5 mark the past two seasons, Green Bay is 33-9 at the Resch under Wardle. In 2012-13, the Phoenix posted one of the program's signature wins, defeating eventual BIG EAST champion Marquette 49-47 on Dec. 19.
BENNETT'S RETURN: Phoenix Hall of Famer and all-time leading scorer Tony Bennett will return to Green Bay on Saturday, Dec. 8. This time, Bennett will be the opposition as the head coach of Virginia. The Cavaliers visit the Resch Center after Green Bay has traveled to Charlottesville in each of the past two seasons. Playing for Green Bay from 1988-92, Bennett scored 2,285 points in a Phoenix uniform. The lefty is also tops the program's record books in field goals made (773), field goals attempted (1,501), three-point field goals made (290), three-point field goal percentage (.497) and assists (601).
WELCOMING WISCONSIN: On Saturday, Nov. 16, Green Bay will welcome Wisconsin back to the Resch Center. The Big Ten squad from Madison last played in Green Bay in 2009, with the Phoenix posting an 88-84 overtime victory, the program's lone win in 19 meetings in the series. It will be Green Bay's fourth home game in the series, including the third played at the Resch Center. The Wisconsin and Virginia games mark the second time Green Bay has ever hosted two BCS conference opponents in the same season (Wisconsin and Kansas State in 2002-03).
ALASKAN ADVENTURE: For the first time in 20 seasons, Green Bay will travel to Anchorage, Alaska to play in the Great Alaska Shootout. The tournament runs from Nov. 27-30, with the Phoenix opening the tournament on Nov. 28 against Pepperdine. The eight-team field also includes Denver and Harvard on Green Bay's side of the bracket and TCU, Tulsa, Indiana State and Alaska Anchorage on the other half. In 1993, Green Bay went 1-2 in the tournament and finished in sixth place.
COMPETE, DEFEND, REBOUND: This signature Brian Wardle mantra was on full display in 2012-13 for the Phoenix. In Horizon League play, Green Bay led the conference in rebounding margin, field goal percentage defense and blocked shots. With freshman Jordan Fouse grabbing 8.3 boards per game, Green Bay's plus-6.4 was more than four rebounds clear of second place. Aided by a league-best 5.6 blocked shots per game, the Phoenix was also the only conference team to hold opponents below 40 percent from the field.
IN A LEAGUE OF HIS OWN: Senior Alec Brown will be in select company heading into this season. In fact, Brown will be in a group by himself as the nation's only active player with 1,200-plus points, 600-plus rebounds and 200-plus blocks. The 7-foot-1 versatile post player is a two-time All-Horizon League player and was on the All-Defensive Team in 2012-13. Brown is only the second player in Horizon League history to accumulate those career numbers and is on pace to be the first league player to finish his career with 1,500 points, 750 rebounds and 250 blocks.
FREE AND EASY: Led by Keifer Sykes, Green Bay led the Horizon League in free-throw percentage in conference play, shooting 75.2 percent from the charity stripe. Due to both quantity and quality, Sykes was a major reason why. The 5-foot-11 point guard raised his free-throw percentage by nearly 15 percent from 2011-12, hitting 81.5 percent. Sykes got to the line with great regularity, leading the Horizon League and breaking the school record for free throws made in a season with 159. Brown also made more than 100 free throws (109) and enters the 2013-14 season just outside of the program's top-10 with 304 career free throws made.

Land Development
The Land program covers on-site wastewater treatment/disposal services, water well construction permits and inspections, and Planning Division requests for review.
On-site Wastewater Treatment/Disposal
Registered Environmental Health Specialists conduct site evaluations and analyze soil to determine the type and size of an on-site wastewater treatment/disposal system required for a given parcel. Once a site evaluation is completed and the parcel has been approved for a sewage disposal system, an application may be submitted for a standard or alternative septic system permit. Additional permits and services available from Environmental Health include repair permits, loan inspections, on-site consultations, and field inspections.
How often your tank will need pumping depends largely on the size of the tank, the number of people in the household, and the kinds of appliances you use. As a general rule, tanks should be cleaned every three to four years, but the period can vary considerably. The best procedure is to have your tank inspected annually and have it pumped as necessary.
Water WellsWater wells are permitted and inspected by division personnel in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Lake County Code. Services are provided for domestic wells, public wells, and monitoring wells. Environmental Health assistance is offered for pump tests, well deepening, and consultation services.
Staff recommends that wells drilled before 1989 and those subject to flooding be checked for bacterial quality on a routine basis but at least annually. There is one lab in Ukiah (Alpha Labs) that provides this service. Services are provided for domestic wells, agricultural wells, and monitoring wells.

Greetings from Korea! :) Last night got our first snow of the winter season here at Kunsan Air Base.
I started working swing shift this week, and around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, we started getting some flurries. Which kept getting heavier and heavier. When I walked home close to midnight, it was beginning to stick on the paved surfaces.
I woke up this morning to go outside for my morning nicotine fix (yeah, yeah. . . no comments, please! :o) and what to my wondering eyes should appear????
It's STILL coming down! Got quite a good bit of accumulation already. It's weird. My last base was in Tucson, AZ so I'm just not used to seeing snow!
These are from the 3rd floor landing of my dorm.
Here's the cross streets by my building.
Look out! It's a tired, cranky Wampa! :lol
Here's an idea of how much we've gotten overnight! Sheesh. . .
Kinda pretty. But getting to work is gonna be something of a pain. :rolleyes

Friday 23rd July 2010
Today's technology allows me to write these thoughts while watching this morning's training session. Sitting here melting in the blistering heat it is difficult to understand how it is possible to train so hard in such conditions.
But then again, I'm relatively confident none of them were sitting in the bar until 3am like the rest of us!
It's a bit like that every day here, training, pool, lunch, pool, training, dinner, bar, bed. As you can imagine, it's quite tough!
Yesterday evening's training session was very entertaining. Not only was there plenty of ball work and that great sight of the ball smashing into the back of the net but you got to see the human side too. We forget that although superstars they laugh, joke and play like any other group of young lads.
With a weekend of yet more fun and frolics ahead I'll leave you there. To the bar methinks... for soft drinks for now.

Loma Linda is a unique community of 21,000. The city has been a national center of health and wellness research for decades. Loma Linda offers residents an alternative to the intense, often anonymous lifestyle so characteristic of modern life. It is no surprise to find numerous families strolling along the city's tree lined streets, or playing in its numerous parks.
That said, for its size, Loma Linda has a decidedly cosmopolitan air. Thanks to the fame of Loma Linda University (LLU) Medical Center, visitors come to the city from around the world. Some are patients, others are students, some come to teach, heal or perform research. Many decide to stay. While the LLU Medical Center, and nearby Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center are the backbone of the city economy, Loma Linda is endeavoring to expand. Firms interested in becoming part of a wonderful community would do well to seriously consider Loma Linda.

According to Canadian prosecutors a group known as the Toronto 18 were part of a terrorist gang that was prepared to institute bombng activity and were in posssession of bomb makig material. The prosecutor spoke on the first day of testimony in which a boy, three other young men and 14 adults are being charged with attending a jihadist training camp where they developed plans to engage in truck bombing activities. The defense attorney sharply denied the charges and insisted it was nothing more than a fantasy dreamed up by a meglomaniac who has a penchant for boasting. The prosecutor introduced into evidence a 9-mm pistol seized from a Toronto home and shell casings found at a camp where some of the accused attended. Defense attorney Mitchell Chernovsky insisted the men and boys talked but never implemented any of their stories into reality.
As the defense attorney notes, a major part of the prosecuting attorney's argument is the discovery of a 9-mm pistol. He derided the lack of any concrete evidence the group had done anything other than sit around and tell stories about what they would like to do.
We live in times when youthful boasts become serious plots. So, what do boys talk about around summer time campfires?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|AP72 i didnt think of that , lol. Yes that would be cool .
|you have far more restraint than I. If It were mine it'd have some small blowthru turbo on it... Which is why I will always be broke.
|300-6 is my daily driver, engine of choice. '91 F150 4X4 5-spd., longbed single cab. I paid $1000 for the truck 4 years ago. I think the previous owner ran the motor low on oil, because the crank and rods would rattle on start-up. It would run fine with decent oil pressure once it warmed up though. The odometer said 256,000, so I pulled the motor down, honed the bores, installed new rings on the old pistons, new rod and main bearings on the stock crank, new oil pump, new cam and lifters, new timing gears, had the head overhauled by a friend at his machine shop, had the flywheel surfaced and installed new clutch disc and pressure plate. I figure it should be good for another quarter million.
well taken care of 300's have been known to exceed 500,000 miles.
I had a 2.9 V6 in a '92 Ford Ranger that I sold with 202,000 miles on it. had a lifter tick, but ran like a top..
just an FYI tho, your truck has a 5 digit odo ( not including tenths ) which means unless your trucks odometer has rolled over ( appears to have ) it has 31,721 miles on it. if it has rolled over, it would be 131,721.. 231,721 ect... once they have hit 'mechanical limits' you cannot accuratly count milage unless you know how many times it rolled over
can tell it's rolled over because of the numbers not lining up exact.
Ford Inline 6 300 ( most miles ? )
Yesterday i read a post about a custom head for the ford inline 6 300. The 300 engine in my truck has 317,000 miles on it with no proof of slowing down. It maintains 36 psi oil pressure at idle and does not blow any smoke at startup or driving. I changed my thoughts about this great little power plant, i thought about when this motor needs to be rebuilt , i would either scrap it and put in a 351 or something. After years of driving this truck , i love this little work horse of an engine. 65 miles per hour on the highway is about the most i Want it to get up to , and it takes a country mile to get up to that speed, 4 speed low gears, but it has plenty torgue and it is so reliable. I mostly use it around the house, to pull trees or bushes out for my neighbors, true 4 wd drive,or an occasional run to menards. Im just waiting for this engine to need rebuilt so i can install a different cam and add dual exhaust. About 2 years ago I picked up a 2 piece exhaust manifold from a later 300 efi i was going to use for dual exhaust, with that being said, im just waiting now for the exhuast to rust out. Basic maintenance is all i ever done to this truck. Im curious to know ,what is the most miles you guys ( or gals ) trying to be politically correct, have put on your engines? Or what is in your opinion the best , most reliable engine ever made? I think you know where my vote goes.

Roseola Cases Rising
I have recently seen several cases of roseola and don't want this viral illness to be confused with measles. Roseola, also called exanthem subitum, is a viral illness which is typically seen in children between the ages of 7-13 months. 90% of cases of roseola occur in children under the age of 2 years. This viral illness is most often caused by human herpesvirus (HHV) type 6 (not the herpes that causes cold sores).
Children with roseola develop a fairly high fever (up to 104 degrees) which lasts for 3-7 days. Other symptoms besides the fever may include fussiness and decreased appetite. Some children may have mild upper respiratory symptoms, or swollen gland in their neck. For many children, when the fever is treated, they are fairly happy and playful.
The high fever seen with roseola ends fairly abruptly at which time a pinkish/red rash appears on the child's chest (trunkal area) and then spreads over the body. It is at this time that parents (and grandparents) worry that their child has measles. Roseola is typically easily distinguished from measles by history alone, as the rash of roseola develops once the fever has resolved, and the child no longer appears ill. Children with measles are still sick when the rash appears, usually a day or 2 after their fever and symptoms have developed. The few children I have seen with measles looked very ill and uncomfortable and may be older. Young children with roseola are happy and playful once the rash appears. The rash may last anywhere from hours to days.
Roseola, like most viral illnesses, is spread through respiratory droplets after an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Another person then comes in contact with the droplets and within 5-15 days after exposure they become ill. With young children who share "all" it is easy to see why roseola is a quite common childhood illness.
Roseola is seen year round, but may have peaks in spring and fall. Roseola is rarely seen in adults, so it is thought that having roseola in childhood may provide some lasting immunity.
The treatment for roseola is totally symptomatic. Fever control to help a child feel more comfortable, fluids for hydration and anything that just helps your child to feel better.
Once a child is fever free and the rash has developed they are no longer contagious.
Don't confuse measles and roseola.....they are totally distinct illnesses. Remember you can prevent measles with the MMR vaccine. Roseola is just another one of those illnesses most children and parents must muddle through.

A heart-healthy lifestyle is not about deprivation. It is about eating more—more fruits, more vegetables, more whole grains, and more unsaturated fats. When you focus on putting more of these nutrient-rich foods in your diet, there is naturally less room for the not-so-heart-friendly foods—those high in saturated fat and low in nutrients.
Healthy eating habits can help you reduce 3 of the major risk factors for heart attack:
So how does this translate into your grocery list and onto your dinner plate? To help you eat the heart healthy way, The American Heart Association has created some guidelines. Follow these dietary guidelines to improve and/or maintain your heart health:

Xmonad/Using xmonad in Ubuntu
From HaskellWiki
Tips for Xmonad in Ubuntu
1 Without a Desktop Environment
The advantages of using xmonad in Ubuntu without a full DE are speed and reduced memory use. Here are tips on using xmonad in any of the Ubuntu distributions without loading XFCE or a full Gnome session.
1.1 Automounting removable media
Removable media is mounted using a volume manager. Normally, Nautilus takes care of this in Gnome and Thunar for XFCE.
There are several lightweight volume manager choices.
- skvm aims for simplicity and speed.
- Ivman was originally only for automounting, but now it can run arbitrary commands when a HAL event (closed laptop lid, a certain device is attached) is received.
- Thunar, XFCE's file manager, can be run as a daemon (thunar --daemon). It can be configured via its GUI to not open a file listing when a device is inserted.
1.2 Tray applications
Trayer has been removed from the repositories in Karmic but is still available in the Ubuntu archives: Trayer for Ubuntu Karmic.
There is also a PPA by user gspr which contains trayer.
1.3 Network management
nm-applet runs just fine in trayer. Just load nm-applet in your xmonad.hs (after trayer) and you're set.
1.4 Status bar
xmobar is in the repositories. sudo apt-get install xmobar, then follow John Goerzen's guide on configuring it.
