Advice appreciated: redeeming a trapout and saving a cluster
June 03, 2012, 09:02:10 PM »
Hi Everybody,
I'm hoping I can get some advice from the wide world web of beekeeping!
I've got a trap out that I set up a few weeks ago - it was going well and then I went away overseas for work! the little critters found another way back in to the hive in the wall... I'm going to be going back there to plug it up and also put in some sheets of corflute to try and restrict their movements to going in to the hive I've placed at the entrance. The issue I have, in addition to that, is that it's winter here! there is no hope that they will raise their own queen with a frame of brood and the likelihood of obtaining a frame of brood is slim without having an impact on the survival of the donor hive. So my only option I believe is to use a weaker hive with a queen and put that in position. A few questions though:
1) How would the queenright hive react to foreign bees walking in under those circumstances? one would assume they'd have nectar/pollen to 'donate'
2) Is it feasible to redeem the trapout by using corflute to 'encourage' them to walk in to the other hive rather than down to the base of the wall where they're accessing the old hive in the wall (basically i'd put a sheet of corflue under the hive extending out a fair way to intersect the current path they're using to walk down to the 'new' access point)
Another issue arose that could be of benefit...
I got a phone call the other day from the gentleman where i keep my hives telling me there was a small cluster of bees in a tree... I'm guessing it's the bees from a hive that absconded (they were in a possum box with a large entrance and i'm assuming rain and cold wind probably got in there hence they absconded) - the cluster is probably a large hand full. Last night i got a five frame nuc of drawn comb - made some 2:1 sugar syrup and poured four cups worth on the frames. I then collected the cluster and put it in the box... there is definitely a queen there as i held her in my hand. The weather is average at best at the moment (12oC and rain) so i had a really strong nuc which i moved about a metre to the right and placed the cluster nuc in the original location of the strong hive. Given the weather this week there is no chance i will be able to get a frame of bees out of my hives... the strong nuc has bees flying in light drizzle and at temperatures as low as 6oC so there's plenty of movement. Is that the best thing i could/should do? or should i crack a hive and grab a frame of bees out? How will the 'cluster nuc' go accepting the bees that just fly in? they, obviously, will have pollen and nectar to give up..
Thoughts and advice appreciated :)

Put the cluster nuc on the trapout. It will work fine. Make a flat top for the box with a hole in it that you can invert a jar of sugar water into.

The trap out I am doing at the moment had a similar issue, no way to get a frame of brood to the hive without compromising the viability of the eggs so I did as iddee suggested and used a weak hive. I have had absolutely no problems with the hive accepting the foreign bees. There have been no dead bees at the entrance to the hive which I would have expected if they were fighting it out on the front porch. I beleive the theory is as long as the trapout bees have pollen or nectar they will be accepted.
I think Iddee has the right solution for you. Combine the 2 problems and solve them both!
Good luck.

So I put the weaker nuc in place of the stronger nuc and was able to boost their numbers a bit - I've also been feeding these ladies a 2:1 syrup since the beginning of this week and they've taken almost 2 litres! so i think they have a bit of fight... this morning I put it on the trapout site and watched for a little while as I noted the bees returning to the entrance of the trapout starting to re-orient to the entrance of the queenright nuc - so far so good! The weather is supposed to warm up a little on Sunday/Monday so hopefully we'll see a fairly steady stream of bees leaving the wall and boosting the population in the nuc hive... now I've just got to cross my fingers that the queen will start laying...

Would it cause many problems if I haven't been able to get back since Friday to top up the sugar syrup? I'm hoping that the field bees have been able to source some nectar locally and hopefully the kg or two of syrup they have will tide them over... I'm going to be putting a larger jar on when I next go there so I don't have to visit as often to top up the feeders...

So yesterday the weather was actually quite nice in Melbourne so I went back to the trap out site... I replaced the small 400ml jar (which they were going through two of in one day) with a 2L jar! needless to say that should keep them busy for a few days hopefully! It was also warm enough to open the box up and see what was going on! the bees have been brininging in pollen, there was some sugar syrup left in the frame so they weren't hungry as a result of my not being able to get there for a few days! and I spotted the queen regally walking around on the frames... she's shrunk down a bit - probably shutting down for winter - I'm hoping that with the supply of sugar syrup and the pollen that's coming in that she might fire up for a round or two just to boost numbers a bit... she's a gorgeous little black queen. They were also starting to repair some of the frames as I used old frames that had been damaged by mice and wax moth (all I had available at the time)
Just a question in regard the trap out - after returning from my holiday I saw that they'd found an alternative access to the hive in the wall - I sealed this up so they can no longer use it and, just to mak certain, covered the base boards etc with sand so they really couldn't get in there anymore! I noticed yesterday that there are still bees going to that spot expecting to get in... will they eventually learn that they can't?

Yes they will Oz. How far is that spot from your hive, I presume not very far. Common sense will prevail with them, that's been my experience so far.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago City Council is nowhere near a vote on permitting state-sanctioned video lottery machines to be operated in the state's most populous and politically important jurisdiction, according to a story in The New York Times.
Alderman Eugene Schulter (47th Ward), who chairs the Committee on License and Consumer Protection, said he is asking state officials for more information about plans for implementation of the Video Gaming Act before his committee holds hearings on the question.
In addition, officials of the Illinois Gaming Board, which will regulate and oversee the VLT market, have now conceded that a lack of sufficient IGB staff could delay the launch of video lottery until the second half of 2011.
Under the Video Gaming Act, the IGB is charged with performing background checks and inspections of operators and locations. Many investigators have yet to be hired and trained, as reported earlier by VT. IGB spokesman Gene O'Shea told the Times that "Nobody has been licensed yet."
Gov. Pat Quinn signed the Video Gaming Act in 2009. Illinois officials project an eventual market of up to 50,000 operator-run video lottery terminals in locations licensed for on-premise liquor consumption. The state's VLT industry is projected to generate up to $1.5 billion in annual revenues with 30% (some $250 million to $500 million a year) paid in taxes.

Arsène Wenger has described the next two Arsenal fixtures as "cup finals".
The Frenchman takes his team to Stamford Bridge on Saturday for a vital Premier League game against Chelsea and Marseille will be at Emirates Stadium three days later for another important match in the Champions League.
Wenger knows that two victories will have a galvanising effect on Arsenal's campaign.
"That's why it is such an important game for us at Chelsea," he said.
"We play two cup games in the next two games – one at Chelsea and one on Tuesday night that can qualify us as well [for the Champions League knockout stage]. So let's go step by step.
"Chelsea is a very important game for us but still I believe the only way to succeed is to focus on the quality of our performance, play our game well and the consequence is that you have a chance to win the game."
Arsenal have not won away in the Premier League this season but that statistic does not concern Wenger.
"We have played nine games since the start of the season and last year we had the best away record in the league so there is no special worry about that," he said.
"For me in football the size of the pitch everywhere is the same, the quality of the pass if you're a good player is the same, I could never understand in my life the difference between home and away."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Redmond schools drop Intl. Baccalaureate program
Cost cited; students, parents, teachers upset
REDMOND, Ore. - The Redmond School District has announced it's cutting its International Baccalaureate program at Redmond High School.
On Wednesday, the district sent out a letter to parents and students, explaining why the cut was being made.
Students, parents and teachers packed the district office for the Wednesday nights board meeting.
"It's really hard," Redmond High Junior Makenna Conley said. "We were promised that we would get this program, and now it seems like they might not be giving it to us."
She says she is waiting in limbo, not sure if the work she has already put into the program was for nothing.
"It was very hard for me not to cry when they were talking to us about it," Conley said.
He dad Tim, shares her sentiment.
"As a parent of a junior who is in her first year of the IB program, she is being left high and dry," Tim Conley said.
He added that he understands what the district has to do.
"I understand that IB is not necessarily something our district can financially afford right now," Conley said.
Superintendent Michael McIntosh says this year, five students will graduate from the IB program.
"The additional cost that we have put into the system is significantly more," McIntosh said.
In the letter to parents, the district says the program is costly and difficult to offer when only a small number of students are seeking the benefits of the program.
McIntosh says he supports International Baccalaureate and understands how much work teachers have put into it. He gave them "kudos" at the meeting, hoping their passion would continue as the district makes the switch.
"I would just encourage all of us to channel, redirect that in a positive direction and not be defeatist in any way," McIntosh said.
The program will close down at the end of the school year. What will take it's place is still unknown, but the district says there are options.

Basic Grilled Cheese
You can make a fantastic sandwich with just great bread, fresh butter, and your favorite cheese:
1. Butter bread slices on 1 side. Turn them over. Lay 2 cheese slices on 1 bread slice. Top with the other bread slice, buttered side up.
2. Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat. Flick a drop of water into the pan; if it sizzles and evaporates, the pan is hot enough.
3. Put sandwich, buttered side down, in pan. Let it cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crunchy underneath. Turn and let cook another 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crunchy.
Choose a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, jack, Colby, gruyère, Swiss, fontina, provolone, or brie.
But why stop there?

Officials: Armstrong must say more
January 18, 2013
For anti-doping officials, Lance Armstrong's admission of cheating was only a start. Now they want him to give details – lots of them – to clean up his sport.
Armstrong's much-awaited confession to Oprah Winfrey made for riveting television, but if the disgraced cyclist wants to take things further, it will involve several long days in meetings with anti-doping officials who have very specific questions: Who ran the doping programs, how were they run and who looked the other way.
"He didn't name names," World Anti-Doping Agency President John Fahey told The Associated Press in Australia. "He didn't say who supplied him, what officials were involved."
In the 90-minute interview Thursday night with Winfrey – the first of two parts broadcast on her OWN network – Armstrong said he started doping in the mid-1990s, using the blood booster EPO, testosterone, cortisone and human growth hormone, as well as engaging in outlawed blood doping and transfusions. The doping regimen, he said, helped him in all seven of his Tour de France wins.
His openness about his own transgressions, however, did not extend to allegations about other people. "I don't want to accuse anybody," he said.
But he might have to name names if he wants to gain anything from his confession, at least from anti-doping authorities.
Armstrong has been stripped of all his Tour de France titles and banned for life. A reduction of the ban, perhaps to eight years, could allow him to compete in triathlons in 2020, when he's 49.
Almost to a person, those in cycling and anti-doping circles believe it will take nothing short of Armstrong turning over everything he knows to stand any chance of cutting a deal to reduce his ban.
"We're left wanting more. We have to know more about the system," Tour de France race director Christian Prudhomme told the AP. "He couldn't have done it alone. We have to know who in his entourage helped him to do this."
U.S. Anti-Doping Agency chief Travis Tygart, who will have the biggest say about whether Armstrong can return to competition, also called his confession a small step in the right direction.
"But if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities," he said.
Pierre Bordry, the head of the French Anti-Doping Agency from 2005-10, said there was nothing to guarantee that Armstrong isn't still lying and protecting others.
"He's going in the right direction, but with really small steps," Bordry said. "He needs to bring his testimony about the environment and the people who helped him. He should do it before an independent commission or before USADA and that would no doubt help the future of cycling."
It's doubtful Armstrong could get the same kind of leniency today as he might have had he chosen to cooperate with USADA during its investigation. But in an attempt to rid cycling of the doping taint it has carried for decades, USADA, WADA and the sport's governing body aren't satisfied with simply stopping at its biggest star. They still seek information about doctors, team managers and high-ranking executives.
Tyler Hamilton, whose testimony helped lead to Armstrong's downfall, says if Armstrong is willing to provide information to clean up the sport, a reduction in the sanctions would be appropriate, even if it might be hard to stomach after watching USADA's years of relentless pursuit of the seven-time Tour de France winner.
"The public should accept that," Hamilton said. "I'm all for getting people to come clean and tell the truth. I'm all for doctors, general managers and everyone else coming forward and telling the truth. I'm all for anyone who crossed the line coming forward and telling the truth. No. 1, they'll feel better personally. The truth will set you free."
The International Cycling Union (UCI) has been accused of protecting Armstrong and covering up positive tests, something Armstrong denied to Winfrey.
"I am pleased that after years of accusations being made against me, the conspiracy theories have been shown to be nothing more than that," said Hein Verbruggen, the president of the UCI from 1991-2005. "I have no doubt that the peddlers of such accusations and conspiracies will be disappointed by this outcome."
But Verbruggen was among the few who felt some closure after the first part of Armstrong's interview with Winfrey. The second was set for Friday night.
Most of the comments either urged him to disclose more, or felt it was too little, too late.
"There's always a portion of lies in what he says, in my opinion," retired cyclist and longtime Armstrong critic Christophe Bassons said. "He stayed the way I thought he would: cold, hard. He didn't let any sentiment show, even when he spoke of regrets. Well, that's Lance Armstrong. He's not totally honest even in his so-called confession. I think he admits some of it to avoid saying the rest."

All Inn the Family
Wakefield Inn & Restaurant reopens with new owners, menu
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader | July 01. 2013 11:32AM
The Wakefield Inn, under new ownership, features a new menu featuring Italian cuisine and homemade pastries. (LARISSA MULKERN)
The Wakefield Inn and Restaurant, listed on the state's register of historic places, features a cozy atmosphere with a new menu of Italian cuisine and homemade pastries. The restaurant is currently open for dinner on weekends and Sunday brunch. LARISSA MULKERN
Innkeepers Colleen and Dino Nicastro of Wakefield purchased the inn in May for $450,000 from chef and innkeeper Janel Martin, who sold the business to pursue a new college degree and other interests with her family.
The new owners and management team at the historic Wakefield Inn include, from left, Colleen and Dino Nicastro, owners and innkeepers; Christina Nicastro, their daughter and executive chef, with son, Vincenzo, 2; and Nicholas Albert, restaurant manager. LARISSA MULKERN
Colleen Nicastro, the new innkeeper at the Wakefield Inn and Restaurant, is already getting involved with community events and the Wakefield Heritage Commission. The restaurant opened for dinner on June 14. LARISSA MULKERN
In a recent interview, Colleen and the family talked about how they came to become innkeepers and their vision for the future.

The restaurant's first dinner menu on June 14 featured prime rib, seafood risotto, chicken Marsala and pistachio salmon, a choice of cheese lasagna or meatballs with spaghetti as a pasta dish, a variety of appetizers, and a diet-busting dessert menu featuring cannoli, tiramisu, homemade sorbet and homemade cupcakes. Christina brings with her many years of experience as a chef and pastry chef for restaurants and elderly care homes.
"I loved it, and I loved the area," she said. The couple, originally from Gloucester, Mass., soon purchased a vacation home on Belleau Lake, but with retirement five years ahead of them, they started looking for a way to escape "the rat race" and for something to keep them busy after they left their jobs. Colleen has her master's in business administration and works in computer technology, and Dino works in the Construction Trades Union 22. After their weekend stay at the inn, Colleen found out on Facebook the business was for sale.
Plans include partnering with events organized by local groups such as the Heritage Commission, which is working to transform the nearby Grange building into a museum.

BRISTOL, PA --Megatouch LLC reports that Morocco's Commercial Court of Casablanca, at a public hearing, found defendant Hassan Ait Ouhlal guilty of selling videogames similar to Megatouch products and illegally labeling them with Megatouch's registered trademark. The Bristol, PA-based game company had discovered the counterfeiting last year.
The court ordered that Ait Ouhlal immediately cease exhibition, sale and distribution of counterfeit products bearing the Megatouch brand. The defendant also was ordered to pay damages to Megatouch and legal fees to the court. The judgment is to be published in two newspapers, in both French and Arabic. Ait Ouhlal has 15 days to appeal the court's decision.
"Megatouch is committed to protecting its intellectual property worldwide," said company president Brennan McTernan. "This is a great victory for Megatouch and its legitimate partners, and we thank Moroccan authorities for taking action."
Megatouch has been a leader in the development of bar and tavern games for more than 35 years.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I think whoever sold you the car (or some other previous owner) found a way to turn these monitors off to cover up problems with the car. Take it to a dealership and explaing what's going on, and I'd specifically ask them if the IDS (Fords proprietary diagnostic software) has the capability of turning monitors off. If those monitors were going to run it would have repeatedly happened already.
Hey guys, still having the same problem, Catalyst and Evap. wont F-ing ready up! i replaced the battery with a fresh one to make sure faulty short circuiting wasnt resetting it over and over again. I then drove about 360 miles AFTER the install. brought it back and its STILL not ready... i today drove through a whole drive cycle, but still wont be able to check again for a couple of days. If its still not ready after a second drive cycle i plan on doing tomorow, what could be the issue thats causing these 2 monitors not to ready up?
PLZ HELP ME! already got 2 inspection tickets
and a more through version:
This should get your systems up and ready as quick as possible.
Edit: their was also a problem I heard from the EPA here in Utah that said some early model focus had problems with the PCM resting it self even with a good battery. Not sure how true this actually is.
ok so i let it idle for 6+ minutes, and i drove it in cruise control on the parkway at 50mph for about 8 miles. hopefully that does it, im having him replace my tires next week so il have him try the scan again. if that doesnt work, putting my old CAI in and getting the inspection again, then il put the new one back in. if it doesnt work... youll see this post again
OH and the CEL isnt out i checked that too it works, but its not on.
CEL means 'check engine light'
PCM is the computer that controls motor.
Every time the battery is disconnected the PCM clears all monitors and you get to start all over. It's to stop people from clearing computer just before they inspect car, hoping they can pass just before a fault code is set again.
The EVAP monitor is by far the hardest one to set to pass, there is a rigid ritual to doing it, I've done that ritual on some cars and they still didn't clear. You have to drive at 40-50 mph and not ever touch gas pedal hardly at all for a certain period of time, just try that on the freeway with today's traffic. It usually takes 1-2 weeks to clear that one letting it happen on its' own.
The catalyst one should clear pretty easy if nothing wrong and you quit yanking battery power.
Does the check engine light WORK? If burned out of course you will get no light. It comes on for a second when you start car, if not you can't pass inspect anyway.
1. im not sure what u mean by PCM or CEL (im kinda a car noob but not totally)
2. i had the first mechanic inspect it about 4 weeks ago, told me to drive it, didnt go back to him, went to my friend 2 weeks later, he inspected it and again it failed, told me to drive it. went to him today and the monitors still arent ready.
3. i bought it from a dealership
4. i contacted my friend he said the evap and the catalyst arent ready
5. NO check engine light on since i bought the car, and still isnt.
6. Prior to the first mechanic ide have to say i put about 10k-15k miles on the from when it was purchased in august 2011. since the original mechanic reset the computer, maybe about 500. since my friend reset it, about 160.
7. would getting a custom tune possibly fix this issue?
|It simply sounds like the car is tuned. I would see about contacting the previous owner unless you bought the car off of a lot....
As far as I remember they're all emissions related, if you have no driveability concerns then there is no indication that anything is actually malfunctioning, except for the fact that the PCM has for whatever reason decided not to (or been unable to) run these monitors for what sounds like a really long time. How long/how many miles had you been driving it prior to getting it tested at the first mechanic? Just to throw out a number, with 500 miles of regular driving they should definitely all run. And that's a high estimate, as I said there are manufacturer specific guidelines for getting a car to run all the monitors and it can be done in half an hour if you stick to the script and know how to drive the car to meet all the test criteria and get the PCM to run the monitors.
You haven't explicitly said this yet, but you don't and haven't had a check engine light on correct? And you said you've only had the car since last August, where'd it come from? It's conceivable that some previous owner was getting a CEL for something they didn't want to fix and just found a way to turn the monitor off so the CEL would go away and they could sell the car without having to explain the CEL.
One thing that didn't occur to me until I googled, parts of the PCM require power at all times to keep track of exactly this kind of information. If this "keep alive memory" is losing its power when the car is turned off, it would have the same effect as disconnecting the battery and all the monitors reset to not run/not ready status.
Here's a relatively informative page I just found about emissions monitoring stuff:http://www.aa1car.com/library/obd_monitor_not_ready.htm
il try and find out what monitors were out. but idk what exactly the first mechanic did, if he reset it or whatever, so idk how long these monitors have been unset. how many miles do u think is appropriate for monitors to reset themselves? what kind of an issue could it be if they dont ever reset?
also no aftermarket tune from when the car was purchased last august. im guessing they inspected it before they sold it to me?
He's saying don't unplug the battery, you'll just start from scratch again. And it's not the CAIs fault, if it were making problems you could conceivably end up with a failed monitor (though I can't think of one affected by intake/MAF/intake air temp stuff), but it wouldn't by itself prevent the PCM/ECU from running the monitors when the test conditions are met. Do you know which ones aren't running/passing? Kind of an important bit of info there. I'm sure there is a Ford published guideline for getting a car to go through all the monitors but I haven't seen it. I think it's totally plausible you could drive 160 miles and not meet all the test conditions for all the monitors, for instance the weird one Whynot mentioned above.
That said, if before this you've been driving the car for months on end and ended up with some monitors not ready/not run, that's fishy. Some test conditions are a little out of the ordinary, but they should definitely all run over a period of time like that.
Is it possible your car has an aftermarket tune? Cause this could prevent some monitors from running, for instance the tune on my car does not make the PCM monitor o2 sensors and I've never had a CEL for that (even though the rear one is totally unplugged and obviously not doing anything) and for awhile I had a vacuum leak with an EVAP line going into the intake manifold and this also never triggered a CEL (the end result of any monitor repeatedly not passing).
Makes me wish I'd paid a little more attention in my class about emissions.

PIERRE, S.D. – A recent proposal by the Game, Fish and Parks Commission would extend season dates for four East River deer counties and give hunters access to a six percent increase in East River deer license numbers.
The proposal offers 2,090 fewer one-tag licenses, but increases two-tags licenses by 3,125, which is a six percent increase of 4,160 tags from last year. Overall tags available would include 21, 865 one-tag licenses plus 25,975 two-tag licenses for a total of 73, 815 tags.
Season dates would be Nov. 26 through Dec. 4 for the counties of Brookings, Sanborn, Miner, Lake, Moody, Davison, Hanson, McCook, Minnehaha, Hutchinson, Turner, Lincoln, Bon Homme, Yankton, Clay and Union. All other East River deer counties would have season dates of Nov. 19 through Dec. 4.
Game, Fish and Parks Regional Wildlife Manager Ron Schauer of Sioux Falls said the extended East River antlerless deer seasons would again be available and would run Dec. 5 – 11 and Jan. 1 – 8, 2006. "Each unfilled and unsold East River deer tag will convert to its respective antlerless tag at the end of the regular season and be valid on both public and private land." Schauer noted that 10 percent of last year's deer harvest came during the extended antlerless season, which makes the extended seasons a very effective management tool.
Initially, all licenses are available only to residents. License remaining after the first two drawings would then be available to both residents and nonresidents on a first-come, first-served basis.

Box score
Queens, N.Y. — Junior Russ Bonanno (Seaford, N.Y.) and senior Jordan McBride (New Westminster, British Columbia) each had two goals but the story of the day was the Stony Brook defense, as the fifth-ranked Seawolves defeated St. John's, 9-4.
Senior Rob Camposa (Syosset, N.Y.) was outstanding in goal, making 14 saves while allowing just one goal before being relieved by senior John Bella (Oceanside, N.Y.). Camposa and the defense held St. John's scoreless for 48:37 of game action.
It was the longest stretch that Stony Brook has held an opponent scoreless this season (Virginia - 25:54). Camposa, who finished with 14 saves two less than his career-high, made six first-half saves and seven stops in the third quarter, many of which were point blank.
The Seawolves produced eight caused turnovers, including two from junior Kyle Moeller (South Setauket, N.Y.). Sophomore JJ Laforet (Georgetown, Ontario) had a career-high three ground balls.
"I thought that Rob had a heck of a game," head coach Rick Sowell said. "Today was a good day for us. We're continuing to make solid progress, and having a four-game stretch in 11 days start with a win will help us as we move forward."
Senior Adam Rand (Niantic, Conn.) continued his solid face-off play, winning 12-of-15 draws. He also led the Seawolves with five ground balls.
Stony Brook scored three goals in each of the first three quarters. McBride now has 143 for his career, which leads all Division I active players. Senior Kevin Crowley (New Westminster, British Columbia) had a goal and two assists, and leads all active players with 193 points.
Despite committing seven penalties, Stony Brook killed off six straight before Kevin Cernuto (two goals) scored with 6:16 left in the game.
Senior Tom Compitello (Hauppauge, N.Y.) and junior Kyle Belton (Delta, British Columbia) also scored for Stony Brook, which cleared the ball 19-of-21 times.
The Seawolves continue their road swing at Towson on Saturday. Game time is 1:00 p.m.

Indians blast Mets, get within one-game of AL-Wildcard
CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Indians have found their stride again. Perfect timing, too.
Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run homer, Nick Swisher had a solo shot and the surging Indians beat the New York Mets 9-4 on Saturday night.
Cleveland has won four in a row for the first time since it captured eight straight from July 24-Aug. 1. Swisher finished with two hits and two RBIs as the Indians stayed in the hunt for the AL's second wild-card slot.
"This is such a great opportunity for us and we're starting to get to the middle of September," Cleveland manager Terry Francona said. "Every time we win, we're getting closer to where we want to be. It's a great chance for this team to shine and I think they're enjoying that."
Corey Kluber (8-5), the first of seven Cleveland pitchers, allowed two runs in five-plus innings. Kluber, pitching for the first time since Aug. 5 after being sidelined by a sprained right middle finger, was pulled after walking the leadoff hitter in the sixth.
Jonathon Niese (6-7) lost for the first time in six starts since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 11. The left-hander allowed six runs over six innings in New York's fifth loss in the last six games.
Cleveland began the day just two games back of Tampa Bay for the second AL wild card. The Indians and Orioles are tied with 76-65 records.
The Indians went 1-5 on a road trip to Atlanta and Detroit, but they have won four of five on their current homestand.
"There's something to be said for just playing through ups and downs," Francona said. "That's really what the season is. And now you get toward the last month, because we've endured a lot, every game, every inning is so meaningful."
Swisher, who hit a grand slam Friday, belted a one-out homer in the second that traveled 402 feet. He also had an RBI double in Cleveland's five-run first.
"This is the push," Swisher said. "It's been a while since this team's been in this opportunity. This is where it really counts."
The Indians jumped all over Niese. Ryan Raburn's three-run double was the big hit in the productive first. Following Swisher's double, Carlos Santana added a run-scoring single.
New York responded with Matt den Dekker's two-out RBI single in the second, and then added three more runs in the sixth. Justin Turner had a two-run double and Juan Lagares singled in a run against Vinnie Pestano.
Cleveland used four pitchers in the inning, which finally ended when Nick Hagadone struck out den Dekker. Thanks to the expanded September rosters, Francona has 15 relievers at his disposal, and he used six against the Mets.
With Cleveland's lead cut to 6-4, Cabrera put the game away with his home run off Scott Atchison in the seventh. The drive, which curled around the foul pole in right field, snapped an 0-for-19 slump.
"Swish looks like he's starting to swing it and Cabby had a big, big hit," Francona said. "That would be so good to get both those guys hot right about the right time."
Michael Bourn started Cleveland's big first inning with a leadoff single. He stole second and scored on Swisher's double into the left-field corner.
Jason Kipnis then put down a sacrifice and Niese's throw to first appeared to be in time for the out. Umpire Paul Emmel ruled the throw pulled Lucas Duda off the bag and Kipnis was safe. Mets manager Terry Collins argued the call and Niese was charged with an error.
"That's why I went out there, because I thought he was out," Collins said. "Paul said (Duda) never touched the bag. If you don't touch the bag.... I haven't looked at the replay so I don't know what happened."
Santana singled for a 2-0 lead and Yan Gomes' single loaded the bases. After Cabrera flied out, Raburn sent a liner into the gap in right-center.
Niese settled down after the shaky start, allowing two hits over the final 4 2/3 innings. He had pitched well since coming off the DL, where he spent nearly two months with a partially torn rotator cuff. Niese was 3-0 with a 2.14 ERA in his first five starts after being sidelined.
Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy was hitless in four at-bats, ending his 10-game hitting streak. Lagares extended his hitting streak to a career-high 12 games.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I think it's great if they can live in harmony. Most of mine were exposed to lots of ducks and geese and never bothered them. A couple days ago Midnite found a bird in the corner of the yard that couldn't fly. Instead of eating it he barked and let me know it was there. I got there and went to pick it up and it flew but just across the yard. At first Midnite didn't know where it went but he found it again. At this point I'm thinking he is going to eat it before I could get there, but all he did was nose it , like he was trying to get it to fly. I get there and I'm trying to catch the bird and Midnite is now sitting doing the famous GSD head tilt watching me, I'm sure it was comical to him. I caught the bird and Midnite seemed proud of himself, I sure was proud of him
Fiona vs the ducks
Since moving from a condo to a house with a yard, I have turned into a farmer. 3 months ago I started with 1 day old chicks. 1 month ago, I started with 1 day old ducks. Fiona has a pink kiddie pool in the backyard because she loves water play. I thought... Hey let's do double duty and put the ducks in there. I never leave Fiona alone with the ducks, but she likes to walk up to the pool to look at them. They usually swim to the other side muttering (not quacking yet).
Today, Fiona and I are sitting there watching the ducks, and Shanghai (female mallard) reaches out and pokes Fiona in the nose with her beak. Fiona jumped and made a weird noise and I laughed and laughed. I hope Fiona will have second thoughts about having a duck snack.

A last-second goal in the first half was the only tally in Saint Peter's 1-0 victory against the Canisius College men's soccer team on Saturday afternoon. The loss drops the Griffs to 6-7-2 and 2-3-1 in MAAC play, while the Peacocks improve to 3-7-4 and 1-3-2 against conference foes.
"The windy conditions made it a tough environment today to play in," said Canisius head coach Dermot McGrane. "We were against the wind in the first half and I thought we defended very well but were unfortunate to give up a goal in the dying seconds. In the second half, we had the better chances but failed to convert them and that was the difference in the game."
Saint Peter's scored the game's only goal with just 11 seconds remaining in the first half. After Canisius netminder Ryan Arvin posted a save, Nick Sifrin knocked in the rebound for the 1-0 lead after 45 minutes of action.
The Griffs dominated the second stanza – outshooting the Peacocks, 8-1 – but were unable to find the equalizer in the final 45 minutes of play. Junior Asani Samuels hit the post in the 57th minute and Canisius also had a goal called back after a throw-in deflected off the goaltender and into the back of the net only to see the referee call a foul.
Canisius finished the game with an 11-8 advantage in shots, while Saint Peter's had a 5-4 edge in corner kicks. Both Arvin and the Peacocks' David Giddings recorded three saves in net.
The Griffs continue MAAC play on Wednesday with a contest against Battle of the Bridge rival Niagara. Kick off at the Demske Sports Complex is set for 7 p.m.

Could John Stamos be the latest former resident of Port Charles to return to "General Hospital," which is gearing up to celebrate its 50th birthday this April on ABC?
On Tuesday night, the actor posted two photos to his Instagram account that appear to have been taken where the show is shot in Los Angeles. But, according to the captions, the actor, who played Blackie Parrish in the early 1980s, was just "visiting."

"@geniefrancis still as beautiful as ever. - fun walk down memory lane. #GH," John posted on Instagram, with THIS pic.
John's character, Blackie, and Genie's Laura, have a connection in the "GH" world. Laura's mom and dad fostered Blackie, but the troubled youth - who had a rock band - Blackie and the Riff Raff (with singer Frisco Jones) - was involved in the death of a character and he ended up going to prison.
Blackie likely would have served his time by now and be out.

Microbiology assignment takes students to the world of the "unknowns"
Release Date: 5/15/2012
For 10 weeks, Dr. Sean Coleman and his students spent their microbiology lab time learning various techniques used to identify bacteria. The labs were nice and predictable, because in the lab, everything is labeled, and you pretty much know what to expect when your run your tests. But in April, all of that changed, when Coleman sent the students out into the field and into the world of the "unknowns."
The assignment sounded pretty straightforward: Choose one or more bodies of water, collect samples, see if any coliform bacteria are found in the water, and if so, identify them.
Coliforms are a group of bacteria that are widespread in the natural environment, and which are present in large numbers in the feces of warm blooded animals. While some coliforms are pathogens themselves, most are not. However, their presence can be used to indicate contamination, which means that other pathogenic organisms may be present.
But sometimes, something that sounds simple turns out to be much more involved, and this was exactly what Coleman anticipated when the gave the assignment.
To complete their tests, the students first had to isolate bacteria from the samples they had collected by attempting to grow colonies of the bacteria. "We have these plates, which are relatively new, called Petrifilm from 3M, and what's nice about them is that they are specific to coliforms," Coleman said. "Pretty much anything gram-negative will grow on them, but only coliform bacteria will form these little gas bubbles. So you have this layer on top with these pink colonies with little gas bubbles around them and you know that's a coliform bacteria." Coleman said when the students found any coliform bacteria on their films, they could then use different techniques they had learned in lab to identify the bacteria.
"E. coli is easy to identify," he said. "Just put it on Levine's agar and if it turns it a green color…." He pointed to the poster prepared by students Elizabeth Small and Alex Holland, where there was a photograph of an Escherichia coli colony. But Coleman said that after that initial identification, things get a bit tougher. "The objective was to teach them real-world application," Coleman said, "but also teach them about identification of unknowns."
It took about six weeks of intense work, but the students' analysis was finally completed, and Coleman sent out an email inviting people to come to the poster presentations where they would present their results. "Are the waterways of the natural state safe for swimming? Boating? Do fecal coliform bacteria lurk in our waterways?" the email asked.
Sabrina Goddard and April Young took samples from three locations on the Arkansas River - here in Clarksville, at Little Rock, and at Tischner. "Tischner is where the White River meets the Arkansas River," Goddard explained. "We wanted to test Tischner because - I don't know if you know Hannah and Tyler - they went here. They found that the White River had high coliform counts, and we wanted to see if this transferred to the Arkansas River where they met." (See NASA grant enables U of O students to study river pollution.)
Goodard and Young found that the coliform levels at all three sites exceeded the levels established by the EPA as safe for contact, and at the Clarksville site, they far exceeded the "safe" level. They theorized that the higher levels at Clarksville were related to the proximity of the other sites to dams on the river, and to the predominance of livestock in Johnson County.
They also tested the bacteria they found to see if any had developed resistance to antibiotic. The good news, they said, was that while the levels were high at the three sites, none of the cultures showed any significant resistance to commonly used antibiotics.
Tess Montgomery, Laken Littlefield, and Colbey Russo tested a popular swimming area near campus, King's Canyon. They took samples from three sites - upstream from the pool, at the pool, and below the pool.
Based on the coliform counts they found, Montgomery said that none of the sites would be suitable for swimming under EPA guidelines. "We had the most [coliform] bacteria downstream," Littlefield said. She said the pool itself, where people swim, contained the second highest count.
Their samples contained E. coli as well as two species of Pseudomonas, which are the bacteria most commonly associated with swimmer's ear. However, she said that because of time constraints they weren't able to identify the Pseudomonas to the species level, nor to determine if the E. coli they found were the pathogenic strains. "The tests can take from two to five days to complete," she said, "so we spent several afternoons in the lab."
When asked if the higher water level caused by the recent rains could account for the higher coliform levels, Montgomery said, "It's interesting. We've thought about it a lot today - talked about it." She said that it is possible that as the water levels go down, one might see an increase in Pseudomonas, because those bacteria prefer warmer water temperatures. "But, at the same time, the contamination could have been caused by the rain, so we're not real sure," she said. "It would require more testing."
Bianca Cea and Kimberly Clabough took their samples at Horsehead Lake, where a U.S. Forest Service designated swim area is found. They sampled the swim area itself, as well as two other areas frequented by swimmers and fishermen - the waterfall and an area downstream from the waterfall.
Clabough said they began by using a staining process to determine the shape of the bacteria, and to indicate whether they were gram-negative or gram-positive. She said they followed those tests with more specific tests in an attempt to determine the species they had isolated from their samples. In addition to E. coli, they found a phytobacterium, which is a plant pathogen. However, it was somewhat frightening that Cea and Clabough found the E. coli they isolated exhibited some resistance to antibiotics.
"I don't like swimming in lakes in the first place, so after I did this, I definitely don't swim in lakes anymore!" Cea laughed. "Based on our results, it's better to go swimming in the fishing area or in the waterfall area than the swimming area."
Clabough said it's possible the recent rainfall may have impacted the bacterial counts in the lake. Although they did not make exact counts, their tests seemed to indicate that the counts would have been very high. "The lake was extrememly high," Clabough said. "There were geese there, so there are definitely a lot more animal interactions."
Alexa Holland and Elizabeth Small took six samples from three different sites right on Spadra Creek here in Clarksville. Site 1 was located downstream from a local processing plant; site 2 was the point where the stream runs right below the plant; and site 3 was upstream from the plant.
The pair found E. coli at their first sample site, downstream from the processing plant, while they found two unknown bacteria in their other samples. Unknown 1, collected at site 3, was identified as one of two Pseudomonas species, while unknown 2, taken from site 2, was either a Citrobactor diversus or Klebsiella oxytoca.
"That's as narrowed down as we could get without doing further testing," Small said. "But that's really good to get it down to two species."
Small said that the bacteria they found were not a cause for great concern, because they don't normally cause serious health problems. None of them showed any resistance to the antibiotics normally used against them. "We did a thermal death time," Holland said, "and all of them died after five minutes. So as long as you cook fish correctly, you shouldn't have any problems."
Elodie Adams and Megan Minniear found that looks can be deceiving when it comes to water quality. They sampled two small streams in the area - streams that appeared to be very pristine - and found large numbers of bacteria in both. "The first one looked safe and very natural, but it was actually very contaminated," Adams said.
Their tests showed that one of the streams contained E. coli, and they found two other unknown bacteria. Through a series of tests, they determined that one of the unknown bacteria was from the same family as E. coli, the Enterobacteriaceae. This family of bacteria includes many familiar pathogens. "If we had had the supplies and more time, we could have kept going," Minniear said.
Adams said that in the second stream, they found that their unknown bacteria were another pathogenic type that was typically associated with diarrhea, Enterobacter aerogenes. However, the pair found that in both cases the bacteria they isolated were not resistant to commonly used antibiotics.
The final poster was prepared by Tristan Cooper and Andrea Muffuletto, showing the results of their sampling along Big Piney Creek. They sampled at Long Pool Recreation area, at a walk-in station downstream from the forest, and at the point where the creek runs into Piney Bay.
They found that the count increased drastically as they moved downstream, going from 3 cfu/ml at Long Pool, to 31 cfu/ml by Piney Bay. However, they said the bacterial counts they found at their upstream sites were much lower than those being found by others in the class at their sites, and were probably not a cause for concern.
Cooper and Muffuletto also identified a bacteria from the Proteus genus as well as Morganella morganii which is known to cause a disease called Summer Diarrhea.
Coleman said he was very impressed with the students' work. "They wrote a proposal describing what they were going to do, and then they carried it out," he said. Because the assignment was so successful, Coleman said he plans to write it up as a method that may be used to teach the identification of unknowns and submit it for publication. And based on their test results, he said he plans to expand the assignment for the next class. "I know a few more tests that I want to have them do next time!" he said.

Diabetes and Exercise
How can exercise help my diabetes?
Exercise can help control your weight and lower your blood sugar level. It also lowers your risk of heart disease, a condition that is common in people who have diabetes. Exercise can also help you feel better about yourself and improve your overall health.
What kind of exercise should I do?
Talk to your doctor about what kind of exercise is right for you. The type of exercise you can do will mainly depend on whether you have any other health problems. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise, which makes you breathe more deeply and makes your heart work harder. Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, aerobic dance or bicycling. If you have problems with the nerves in your feet or legs, your doctor may want you to do a type of exercise that won't put too much stress on your feet. These exercises include swimming, bicycling, rowing or chair exercises.
No matter what kind of exercise you do, you should warm up before you start and cool down when you're done. To warm up, spend 5 to 10 minutes doing a low-intensity exercise such as walking. Then gently stretch for another 5 to 10 minutes. Repeat these steps after exercising to cool down.
When you start an exercise program, go slowly. Gradually increase the intensity and length of your workout as you get more fit. Talk to your doctor for specific advice.
Are there any risks to exercising for people who have diabetes?
Yes, but the benefits far outweigh the risks. Exercise changes the way your body reacts to insulin. Regular exercise makes your body more sensitive to insulin, and your blood sugar level may get too low (called hypoglycemia) after exercising. You may need to check your blood sugar level before and after exercising. Your doctor can tell you what your blood sugar level should be before and after exercise.
If your blood sugar level is too low or too high right before you plan to exercise, it's better to wait until the level improves. It is especially important to watch your blood sugar level if you exercise in really hot or cold conditions, because the temperature changes how your body absorbs insulin.
How will I know if my blood sugar is too low while I'm exercising?
Hypoglycemia usually occurs gradually, so you need to pay attention to how you're feeling during exercise. You may feel a change in your heartbeat, feel shaky or anxious, or suddenly begin to sweat more than normal. When you feel this way, you should stop exercising and follow your doctor's advice about how to treat hypoglycemia.
Should I drink more fluids during exercise?
Yes. When you're exercising, your body uses more fluid to keep you cool. By the time you feel thirsty, you may already be getting dehydrated. Dehydration (not enough fluid in your body) can affect your blood sugar level. Drink plenty of fluid before, during and after exercise.
Exercise checklist for people who have diabetes
- Talk to your doctor about the right exercise for you.
- Check your blood sugar level before and after exercising.
- Check your feet for blisters or sores before and after exercising.
- Wear the proper shoes and socks.
- Drink plenty of fluid before, during and after exercising.
- Warm up before exercising and cool down afterward.
- Have a snack handy in case your blood sugar level drops too low.

What the OT sacrifices were at the tabernacle/temple, the gift of the Philippians was to Paul. What did Paul intend to communicate with these descriptions?
In the previous message we discovered that Paul described their gifts to him in Philippians 4:18 as being effective and appealing (an odor of a sweet smell) and expressive of a heart dedicated to God (a sacrifice acceptable). This message looks at the third description (a sacrifice...well pleasing to God) and arrives at what Paul was communicating by this expression. Also, time is devoted to considering four noteworthy truths about their sacrficial giving that made it so well-pleasing to God.
If our giving to God's ministers, ministries, or missionaries are to have the same kind of impact the Philippians' gift had on Paul, Giving That Touches Hearts, then we must pattern our giving after theirs and embrace the same mindset they cultivated.
There is no encouragement quite like seeing someone meeting a specific need in your life--especially when you didn't expect it! It's like a breath of fresh air: it revitalizes your spirit; it touches your heart; it moves you to express gratitude to that one who really cared enough to give you what was needed.
That's what was going on in the mind of the Apostle Paul as he reflects upon the generosity of the Philippian church. They had repeatedly sacrificed to meet a particularly need in his life in spite of their own deep poverty (Cf. 2 Corinthians 8:3).
In Philippians 4:18, Paul uses three expressions to describe the special gift they had sent him by the hand of Epaphroditus. Some of these descriptions are drawn from the Old Testament system of worship. While the literal offerings of the OT system, the ceremonial law, was fulfilled and done away with in Christ, the truth pictured by these offerings remains.
In this message, our pastor expounds upon the meaning of these first two expressions so that we can profit from and incorporate the truths that are expressed. The third will be covered in the next message in this series. If we would be modern day Philippian-type givers, these truths must be evident in our lives as well--regardless of our current financial circumstances.
The Apostle Paul wanted the Philippians to know that the gospel of Christ not only produces a real peace that is evident in a spirit of contentment (4:10-14), but also by a spirit of giving (4:15-20). In spite of their deep poverty and enduring the difficult persecution (2 Corinthians 8:1-5), the Philippian church set a model of giving that received the commendation of God. He considered their giving to be a delightful aroma, an attractive fragrance, a gift that God himself would accept and find very pleasing. Their spirit of giving spotlighted God and was patterned after Him.
Today's sermon text reveals three characteristics about the Philippians' mindset in giving that qualified it for God's stamp of approval. If our own financial giving to God's ministry and missionaries are to obtain the same response from God theirs did, then it must evidence the same characteristics.

Since you are going to trash the box just get a sawsall, or a circular saw, and set the blade shallow. Cut a window and get a good look inside. Go from there for a normal cutout. Remember when you start cutting, the box looses strength and may collapse so have support under it.
Man I can imagine how the bees would pour out with the vibration from a sawzall. Don't think I would do that. Got a plasma cutter? If one was careful enough you could probably get a good start with one without burning the bees.
I'll ask.Did you get the queen?orDo you think you got eggs with the brood and they can raise a new queen with those genetics?
Awesome mess. Cool. Somehow I thought it was a metal box.
Worth the wait. Sorry to hear of the sevin dust, though I doubt it had any effects on this colony.

How in the heck can all you guys shake your sugar syrup mixture. that can be rather heavy.
So if I got this right, it's 1:1 sugar and water in the spring. Right? When do you feed 2:1? or do you ever feed 2:1?
"since I'm installing package bees in 11 days, I'll be medicating with Fumagilin-B"I shouldn't think you need to medicate them at this point.Keith
Mklangelo, many people don't use medications at all. If the bees aren't sick, why bother? It's the same as taking pennicilin constantly just to make sure you don't get an infection - where has that got us? Super bugs that can't be controlled by antibiotics anymore. Try to find a mentor who isn't chemical-dependent, or just come here for info and advice. :)
Oxalic acid is only used in the "broodless" period during winter, if you have winter time wherein the queen stops laying. This treatment can kill the brood and we don't want that. Best of this day. Cindi

One hundred people and counting have been helped by University of St. Thomas Cameron School of Business students, as this semester an undergraduate management class awarded its 100th microcredit loan. Richard Heagy, adjunct professor at UST, started this project in his management class five years ago, as a way to apply management principles such as risk evaluation and make a difference for people needing credit in developing countries.
The students funded the loans themselves and awarded them through Kiva, which is a non-profit organization that connects people to borrowers in 73 countries. It helps poor families get the resources they need to raise their economic level above poverty.
"I started this project to build awareness of developing world need," Heagy said.
This project is based on the same idea of borrowing a loan from a bank, but without charging any interest. Kiva targets the low-income people in different developing countries, who need to set-up their own small businesses.
One successful project was a $400 loan that helped Josselyn Lisbeth buy new products for her small grocery store in El Salvador. Another microloan of $350 lent to Peter in Kenya helped him purchase a zigzag sewing machine, and he succeeded to profit more from his tailoring business.
Mathew McNally, Master of Business Administration candidate and one of Heagy's students, believes this project should be mirrored all over the world, as he feels that this methodology is helpful for many empty-handed people.
"I never heard about the microloans project or Kiva organization before taking this class," McNally said. "I am glad that I took this class with Professor Heagy."
Heagy's project began five years ago, to spread the awareness of this lending project. He implemented this project in the classroom in the form of a survey that contains different cases for poor families, who applied for loans. Students decide who should receive a loan after studying the cases. About 400 students have participated in granting loans through Heagy's class.
Cassandra Varacalli, an MBA student, thinks that this idea is helpful for the economy to progress in these developing countries.
"This project helps small businesses get on their feet, which helps build up the economy," Varacalli said. "It's a great program that allows these small business owners to start or maintain their product without the hassle that you would normally get from another lender."
Heagy said the class will surpass 103 this month. "We are now planning to hit 200 loans participation," Heagy said.
The image of Winnie Akyini was provided by Kiva to advance its mission of connecting people around the world through lending to alleviate poverty.

County agency helping Cleveland-area dads
(Cleveland) - On this Father's Day, some 44% of Cuyahoga County households are run by a single parent, usually a mom.
The Cuyahoga County Fatherhood Initiative seeks to strengthen families by encouraging dads to play a more active role in nurturing and raising their children.
Director Al Grimes says the Initiative responds to escalating social concerns regarding "father absence" by providing dads with access to services designed to prepare them to better meet the emotional, psychological, and financial needs of their children.
He tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, they also seek to increase public awareness about the importance of father involvement.
Grimes says his agency receives about 2,000 calls a year from fathers seeking help with a variety of issues, from finding jobs to support their families, to dealing with custody and child support.
He says, research has conclusively shown that children with involved and loving fathers are much more likely to be financially and emotionally secure, and less likely to become involved with crime and drugs.

Bengals tag DE Micheal Johnson
The Bengals today designated DE Michael Johnson as the team's franchise player, under terms of the NFL's Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The franchise designation gives Johnson the option to sign with the Bengals for 2013 for a salary specified by a formula within the CBA. Last season, Johnson helped lead the Bengals to the playoffs with 11.5 sacks, second-most by any Cincinnati player since 1983 (exceeded only by DT Geno Atkins' 12.5 last season).
"Obviously we are committed to re-signing Mike," said Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, "and this move is part of the process to keep a young and promising defense together. Mike has worked hard to improve himself every year during his time as a Bengal, helping us to the postseason three of four years. We have every reason to believe he will continue to grow as a leader and productive player."
Johnson is a free agent and will have the right to negotiate with other teams, but the franchise-player designation means that should he agree to terms with another team, the Bengals could retain him by matching the offer. Should the Bengals decline to match a competing offer, the team signing Johnson would be required to give the Bengals two first-round draft choices.
Johnson and the Bengals are still permitted to negotiate for a multi-year contract, either before or after Johnson might elect to sign the one-year franchise-player offer for 2013.
A fifth-year NFL player in 2013, Johnson was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week after a three-sack performance at Washington in Week 3 of last season. The 6-7, 270-pounder from Georgia Tech was a Bengals third-round draft choice in 2009. He has played in every regular-season and postseason game of his Cincinnati career (67 total), and he has regular-season career totals of 23 sacks, two interceptions and 18 passes defensed.
"This guy has come up in our system, he plays about 85 percent of our snaps, and he's the kind of guy we love to have around," said defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. "He's hard-working and a great team player. He's an outstanding run defender in addition to his pass rush production. He's got great length and size, and great speed off the edge."

"I ordered special tags for branding a gift from a very good client who sends gift baskets across the US every year. I wanted to do something special, so I ordered tags from Tiny Prints and had them delivered to my apartment. Being the Christmas Season... FedEx delivered a week early. When I checked the delivery status, I found they had already been delivered the day after Thanksgiving.I checked around and deduced they had been pinched by some crook. I called Customer Service, they expedited printing and the Tags arrived yesterday. The Rep was so friendly and realized how upset I was that the package was missing. I am glad she realized the importance of the product I had ordered and took complete control of the situation. I am about to place a second order through Tiny Prints because I am so pleased with the quality of product along with the superb customer service I received."
"Cute holiday tag. I've never ordered our gift tags with our name already on them. I'm excited to have a little part already done! Cute design that will go with lots of different packages."
"While I was drawn to the design when I ordered, I was even more pleased seeing it in person. The perfect shad of red Very happy with price, shipping and overall quality."
"Love these. I added "warm wishes" to mine, instead of just the work "from" They also arrived sooner then I thought they would. I'm SO HAPPY to use these for Christmas this year!"
"Colors are a tad less vibrant and the paper quality is a little thin. However, it is such a cute way to personalize homemade gifts. Would purchase again."

Herald staff
The X-ray above shows pregnant raccoon that was taken to the PAWS Wildlife Center in Lynnwood with a fractured leg and severe head trauma. Three raccoons were delivered by cesarean section and were able to nurse on their mother. However, she never recovered from the accident.
The raccoons were among the hundreds of animals cared for at PAWS each year. Since it started 45 years ago, the organization has grown into a giant in the Northwest in caring and advocating for animals, and it's looking for a new and bigger home. You can read more about it Sunday in The Herald and on HeraldNet.
In the meantime, here's a fascinating gallery of more X-rays of animals treated at PAWS.

I will attempt to link here to as many SKYWARN sites as possible available on the Internet. This is for SKYWARN groups, rather than individual spotter pages. This list is FAR from complete. Sites will be added as I am aware of them. If you have a link to a SKYWARN group site that is not here, please contact me to add your SKYWARN group's website to our links here. Please report dead or outdated links to me here.
What is SKYWARN you may ask? It's a program coordinated with the National Weather Service, that uses a group of trained volunteers who devote their time and resources when severe weather approaches your area, to observe and report severe weather conditions back to the National Weather Service. They are your eyes and ears during severe weather!
If you are interested in becoming a trained SKYWARN spotter, contact one of these groups in your area, or if one near you is not listed, contact your local National Weather Service Office. They can put you in touch with whoever is running your local SKYWARN group. Check the navigation menu here for more information on the National Weather Service and links to all their offices.
Also, I have recreated the Basic and Advanced spotter guides online that you can read through. These have been updated with recent photo contributions from chaser and spotters. It's not a substitute for actual spotter classes, but there is some great material there, and will give you an idea of what to expect. It's great wintertime study material! You can find that at http://spotterguides.us.
