TORONTO -- Gustavo Chacin hasn't created near the stir Fernando Valenzuela did in his rookie season. There are still some similarities according to Mike Scioscia, who manages against one and caught the other.
Chacin pitched eight scoreless innings for his 10th victory and Shea Hillenbrand homered and had four RBI to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to an 8-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night.
"I saw a little Fernando in him," said Scioscia, the Angels manager who formed a very successful battery with Valenzuela for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1981 to 1990. "That guy pitched a terrific game."
Chacin (10-5), pitching against the Angels for the first time in his career, and Miguel Batista combined on the eight-hitter. The Angels have been shut out five times this season.
"Any time we had a count in our favor or had a chance to do something he came up with a great pitch," Scioscia said.
Asked why he reminded him of Valenzuela, Scioscia said it was his "ability give his fastball a little more life by riding it up in the zone."
Staked to a 7-0 lead in the fourth, Chacin allowed six hits, struck out three and walked one to lower his ERA 3.45, which puts him in the top 10 in the AL in ERA. The 24-year-left-hander with the Fernando-like delivery has won four consecutive starts.
Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi said earlier this season that Chacin reminded him of Valenzuela, who became the first pitcher to win both the rookie of the year and the Cy Young award in the same season -- 1981.
Chacin said he was thrilled with what he has done in his first season.
"Ten wins is great. I just have to keep it going," Chacin said.
Hillenbrand had three hits for the Blue Jays, who moved one game over .500 (50-49).
Toronto third baseman Corey Koskie went 1-for-4 with a walk in his first game since breaking a thumb on May 19. The Blue Jays also announced that ace Roy Halladay could return as early as next week after being sidelined since July 8 when he was hit with a line drive that broke a bone in his left leg.
Los Angeles' Vladimir Guerrero, who entered the game in a 14-for-80 (.175) slump in July, went 3-for-4. The 2004 AL MVP's worst career month for average is .308.
Angels starter Paul Byrd (9-7) allowed a season-high seven runs and 10 hits in three-plus innings.
"It's frustrating for me that I could only give us three innings," Byrd said. "I feel like I dropped the ball. I have to pick us up in my next outing."
Byrd walked the first batter he faced, Russ Adams, before Frank Catalanotto singled. One batter later, Hillenbrand homered over the left-field wall.
Toronto scored four runs in the fourth. Eric Hinske led off with a single and scored on Alex Rios' RBI double. After Orlando Hudson followed with a run-scoring double, Adams chased Byrd with an RBI single.
Hillenbrand added an RBI single off Kevin Gregg to make it 7-0.
Toronto's Vernon Wells hit his 20th home run, a solo shot off Joel Peralta in the eighth.
Toronto manager John Gibbons said rookie third baseman Aaron Hill and first baseman Hinske will continue to get at-bats despite the return of Koskie. Hill hit .306 as Koskie's replacement, and the Blue Jays say they are going to make room for him although he didn't start Tuesday's game. Hillenbrand played first, while Hinske was the DH. Hill is in a 1-for-26 slump. ... The Angels played the first game of a six-game trip to Toronto and New York.

How Responsible Tourism can help our communities
Posted on 02. Aug, 2013 by Sophie in Responsible Tourism
Crystal Creek Meadows has been nominated for the World Responsible Tourism Awards! We are keen to reach the finals because Sophie and I want to be able to show how responsible tourism can help generate prosperity for communities, help conserve heritage and tread more lightly on the planet. And by doing this we help to create great experiences for our guests too!
Kangaroo Valley received a Highly Commended Award at the 2010 Responsible Tourism Awards because of the high level of community cooperation (see picture of our local celebration dinner, there were many different community groups and government representatives).
We believe that hosted accommodation can do really great things for our rural communities. Read my speech delivered to the South Councils below. Wish us luck on our Facebook page.

Bluetooth is also integrated. After the usual shenanigans associated with Bluetooth, we were able to pair the Qstarz with a Pocket PC PDA, and then use it as an external GPS with the Navman SmartST sat-nav software installed on the PDA. We didn't need to install extra drivers to get this working, but there are drivers included for use with various handheld devices, including Symbian and Windows CE.
However, it's the supplied PC software which really brings the Qstarz into its own. This comes on a 5cm CD, so won't be very useful for slot-loading optical drives. The main app is Qstarz PC Suite, which includes QSports V1, Travel Recorder V4, and a GPS driver so you can use the device with PC navigation software.
Within the main suite, QSports V1 is the primary facility for keeping track of your sporting achievements. You import logged data from the Explorer 2000, telling the software which kind of activity the log represents. Each imported data set becomes a track, which can then be displayed and analysed in a number of ways. The Summary tells you how long you took, the distance travelled, plus average and maximum speed. It also calculates the amount of calories burned based on the type of activity you specified when you imported the data. Since elevation is also tracked, you can see average speeds for ascent and descent, making it possible to keep track of how well you run or cycle up hills. The software is smart enough to exclude times when you were clearly standing still from these calculations, which is handy if you're exercising in urban areas where you have to stop for traffic lights or when crossing the road.
More visual treats are in store elsewhere in the QSports interface. The Google Map for the route you have taken is brought into the app, and your route drawn onto it. A graph shows your speed at points during your journey, and switching to the Play tab links this graph directly to the map. So you can see exactly how fast you were going at different points of the journey. Although the QSports app is not aimed at powered activities other than motor cycling, you could use the playback facility to analyse your performance around a racetrack, albeit at a fairly general level.
Anyone using a GPS device to track running or cycling is best to use Sport Tracks. It's a cracking piece of free software. I use it instead of Garmin Training Centre which came with my new Forerunner 305.
Can this device display location in other coordinate systems and map datums, such as Ordnance Survey? Not doing so will limit it's usefulness for hiking etc IMHO.
Unfortunately, it's only latitude, longitude and elevation. So, yes, it will have hiking limitations.
It only uses Lat/Long and WGS84 I'm afraid, which therefore limits its use to speed/distance calculations, and if no good for hiking. For hiking Garmin units are far better, which offer much more functionality for the same price. I often have to use obscure grid and map datum combinations when working/hiking abroad (usually involves lots of GR logging) as I still need to use the old fashioned map/compass method and find them to be more accurate than other units when I need to locate to within 10m on a large scale map and triangulation is difficult for whatever reason. Signal is a problem with many a GPS unit I have tried and the price of the unit does not seem to reflect an increase in performance in that respect; expensive units usually just come with bloated software and pre-installed maps which for me is useless.

Betty Boop creator's family loses copyright case
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - The family of the creator of Betty Boop lost its bid to be declared the exclusive owner of the copyright to the popular cartoon character.
A divided 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Wednesday said descendants of Max Fleischer were not entitled to control of the character, who is known for her large eyes, baby face, tightly coiffed black hair, short dresses and high heels.
Judge J. Clifford Wallace wrote for a 2-1 majority that the plaintiff Fleischer Studios Inc could not prove it had title to the character, which Max Fleischer sold 70 years ago to Paramount Pictures Inc and later went through other hands.
Wallace also said the defendant AVELA Inc, which licensed Betty Boop dolls, T-shirts and handbags under a copyright based on vintage posters, did not infringe any trademark, having not held out its products as "official" or misled customers.
"If we ruled that AVELA's depictions of Betty Boop infringed Fleischer's trademarks," the judge wrote, "the Betty Boop character would essentially never enter the public domain."
Lawyers for Fleischer Studios and AVELA did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Max Fleischer created Betty Boop in 1930, and sold rights to the character to Paramount Pictures Inc in 1941. Fleischer died in 1972.
Wallace rejected Fleischer Studios' argument that Paramount sold the character in 1955, in a chain of title that ultimately led to its 1997 reacquisition of an exclusive copyright. Continued...

Singer Morrissey has been asked to run for Mayor of London - and is said to be "seriously considering" the move.
The former Smiths frontman, 56, was approached by the Animal Welfare Party about entering the race to succeed Boris Johnson.
The star reportedly posted a statement on a fan website, True to You, outlining his animal welfare platform.
"Animal welfare groups cannot persist simply in order to continue to persist," he was quoted as saying.
"There must be a governmental voice against the hellish and archaic social injustice allotted to animals in the United Kingdom simply because those animals do not speak English, otherwise millions of very caring citizens are greatly concerned about issues that no one is able to do anything about."
Morrissey would need to collect 330 signatures – 10 from each London borough – to enter the contest.
He could then take on the likes of Labour candidate Sadiq Khan and Tory rival Zac Goldsmith in the battle for City Hall.
Animal Welfare Party leader Vanessa Hudson said: "I can confirm that Animal Welfare Party has asked Morrissey to consider standing as a candidate for us in the upcoming election for Mayor of London.
"We'd like to see the mayoral contest include the views of a candidate who would seek to champion London not only as a world leading city for people but for animal welfare too."
The mayoral election takes place on May 5.

text: First In: Can James Bond Help Volkswagen? Share Comments In my daily search the other day looking for Volkswagen-related news items I came across this interesting tidbit from Reuters News in Europe: "FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Volkswagen has set up a task force assigned with finding out what U.S. car buyers want and translate that into new models that sell better in the United States, a Der Spiegel magazine has reported. Europe's biggest carmaker devised the team, dubbed "Moonraker" after the James Bond movie, as an ageing line-up of models and quality problems have weighed on its share of the world's largest car market, the German weekly reported on Friday. The team, led by a former manager of German luxury carmaker BMW, Stefan Liske, includes development, design and marketing experts and will look at VW's namesake Volkswagen as well as its upmarket Audi brand models, the magazine said. VW's brands are currently lacking car types which are especially popular in the United States: Audi does not have an upmarket sports utility vehicle in its roster, while Volkswagen does not offer pick-up trucks. Volkswagen was not immediately available for comment." Moonraker – A 1979 James Bond movie with memorable character names like "Dr. Holly Goodhead" (who thinks of this stuff anyway?), and now a major project by Volkswagen that, according to the story above, is to develop more competitive vehicles for the U.S. market. Assuming Volkswagen is looking for new car "types" as the article suggests, giving the existing lineup of vehicles offered a hard look and eyeing what the competition is doing got me thinking a bit about some of the "issues" a Moonraker project group must be thinking about. So let's drag the dead horses back out of the closet, dust them off and prepare to beat them again and look at a few of the things that may help Volkswagen be more successful in the U.S. market: 1. Quality – This could be a topic all in itself, but suffice to say, VW needs (and they know this) to improve the overall quality of their products if they want to have *any* long-term success here. Increasing the bumper-to-bumper warranty would be a nice gesture to instill more confidence in buyers. We know Volkswagen is working hard to fix this problem, so for the sake of argument (and length of story) let's set this one aside as it is already in the pipeline. 2. Dealership/Customer Experience – Likewise, another topic that could be quite lengthy, but again, one that has seen significant progress strides already and should continue to get better and better with the changes going on both corporately and at the dealer level. So again, let's give VW benefit of the doubt that they are already working on improving things. Let's move on to product… 3. Product – This is likely going to be a long winded one, so strap in… Currently in the U.S. market the top selling vehicles are (in order); pickup trucks, mid-size SUVs and mid-size sedans. If you want to have sales success in the U.S. and move more than 200,000 units in a given segment (something VW hasn't been able to do in ages), you need to have a vehicle competing in one of those segments. So where does that leave Volkswagen? Pickup trucks – Should a German company with a long, long history of selling cars get into the U.S. pickup truck market? A long time ago Volkswagen actually built a small pickup called the Caddy based on a Golf/Rabbit platform. It wasn't particularly successful, but found a small niche here, mostly due to its small size. Today you need to make a decision on how much of the pickup truck market you want to try and tackle and then how to do it. Toyota and Nissan have both jumped in full-bore with a variety of pickup trucks available in small, medium and large sizes. The "large" size being direct competitors with the full-size (and number one selling) Ford and GM full-size trucks. Honda, on the other hand, is being a bit ambiguous with their offering, refusing to call it a pickup truck in their press materials and only vaguely calling it a "truck" and something different for that segment. All marketing hyperbole aside, the vehicle does look like a cross between an Explorer Sportrac and a Chevy Avalanche, with car platform-based underpinnings and a few neat features like a trunk in the rear pickup bed. Either way, these are all attempts by underdogs to chip away at the American pickup truck strong hold. This is also a segment that has a LOT of competition and the need to differentiate yourself from everyting else on the market (particularly if you are the underdog) is very important. With all that said, I'm not sure Volkswagen would be best suited jumping into that market quite yet (if ever). Mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) – German car magazines are reporting that Volkswagen is working on two more SUV-like projects – a Golf-based MPV/SUV and a mid-size 3rd row seating SUV bigger than a Touareg, but with less luxury appointments, less mechanical complexity and at a lower cost point. The primary motivator for such a vehicle is the U.S. market, as longer wheelbase SUVs don't stand a chance in Europe, where SUVs don't sell well to start with. This is a vehicle that needs to compete with the Ford Explorer, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota 4runner and other SUVs that have a $25,000 to $38,000 price tag. Presuming the press reports are right and VW is working on such a product, it would be a clean sheet of paper to work from and one that VW shouldn't be able to screw up. So that leaves mid-size sedans – Honda Accord and Toyota Camry – two vehicles that represent the mid-size car market today. Honda and Toyota move more than 300,000 Accords and Camrys individually each year. The cars have steadily gotten larger, more refined, and more luxurious. Likewise though, the demographic has gotten progressively older, with the average age of an Accord owner being nearly 50 and the Camry owner at 51 years old. It would seem that Volkswagen has this segment figured out with the Passat, but that isn't exactly the case… Volkswagen has a positioning problem in the U.S. market. In Europe things are typically much clearer. With direct competition from Peugeot, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Fiat and others, the market position of a good portion of VW's product makes sense. Over here though, things are a little different. The Jetta and Passat are both "tweener" models fitting largely in-between the segments each model traditionally competes in. Take the Jetta, for example – for the last ten years the Jetta seems to compete size-wise with the Civic, Corolla and Mazda3 compacts. Price-wise though, the Jetta seems to be more of a Saab 9-2, Volvo S40, Acura TSX competitor, yet it undercuts all of those on value as well. In other words, it falls somewhere in between. It is the same scenario with the Passat. The Accord and Camry range in price from $16,000 on the low end to $30,000 on the high end. The Passat price ranges from $22,000 to $38,000, making it a bit more expensive but still below the average price point (W8 Passat aside) of the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Inifinti G35 and other near-luxury/luxury brands. So what do you do if you were Volkswagen? Take the next Jetta and move it up to the Accord-class of mid-size vehicles much the same way Nissan did with the Altima? Or do you bring the Passat back down to the price point of the Accord/Camry (which means cheapening the car)? The later scenario could be suicide for the Passat as it would likely turn off the existing younger demographic that buys the Passat, get panned in the press as being "less of a car" than the outgoing model and overall appear that VW "sold-out" just to try and grab a little more marketshare. The other major issue is that Volkswagen is a European car company and the platforms that VWoA has to work off of are dictated by European market demands. The Japanese, on the other hand, have shrewdly built U.S.-dedicated platforms (usually built at U.S.-specific plants) to give this market specifically what it needs. Could Volkswagen develop a new platform that would be a U.S.-specific platform and a springboard for a variety of models to be built off of it? A proper mid-size platform could be utilized to build an SUV, a wagon, a minivan and more all dedicated and developed specifically for the U.S. market. So let's look at a theoretical model lineup from top to bottom: – Phateon: Flagship sedan – Touareg: Luxury/premium SUV – Passat: repositioned as a potential E-class/5-series/A6 competitor at a better value but clearly above Accord/Camry – Midsize SUV: 3rd row seating, in-car entertainment, family hauler priced $25-$38k – Jetta: repositioned as an Accord/Camry competitor but still European in flavor and options – Minivan: built on above Jetta platform – Golf/GTI: brought over from Germany as is – Small SUV: CRV competitor – Beetle – New entry level Sedan – New entry level lifestyle vehicle – something like a Honda Element/Scion XB and SUV mix for young people Splitting it up further you could have two new platforms or one platform that has long and short wheelbase versions: New U.S. A-platform: – Entry Sedan – Beetle – Entry Life-style vehicle – CRV competitor – small sportscar/coupe New U.S. B-plaform: – Jetta – Jetta Wagon – Minivan – Midsize SUV? – Convertible/Coupe All that looks interesting on paper but there is one nagging concern that I have, and a fundamental question Volkswagen will have to seriously answer: Does Volkswagen want to sell volume or continue to be an entry-level European car company in America? The current demographic/psychographic of customers expects the latter and purchases a Volkswagen because it is an entry-level European car. On the other hand, Volkswagen *could* substantially increase sales by catering specifically to the Accord/Camry market. That demographic/psychographic is quite a bit different than the current VW base and would put Volkswagen in the postion of having to compete with Honda and Toyota, not only with product, but with customer serivce and quality. So, from a pure business standpoint do you "sell out" and move a European car company to compete directly against heavy volume selling nameplates and give up your current customer base (to an extent)? Or should Volkswagen stick with their European roots and instead push to make great strides in quality, customer service, cost savings, shorter life-cycles and more diverse product offerings in segments they should be in?

I think it depends on age, breed and size. Young puppies should be feed 3X a day. Most older puppies get feed 2X a day. Some people feed their adult dogs only once a day. It depends I guess. Lola was feed 3X a day until 5 months old and now she eats 2X a day. Large dogs that eat to much to fast, should eat 2 smaller meals instead of 1 big meal, to help prevent bloat. If they are active, they should also eat 2 smaller meals instead of one big meal. There really is no need to feed an adult dog more than twice a day in my opinion. At the doggie daycare I work, some dogs get feed lunch... the puppies I get, but the adult dogs that get feed lunch are all over weight and eating "cheap" food. So, yeah... thats all I know

Hi Abby!
As a Lab/GSD mix, you are a large-breed dog and therefore more vulnerable to bloat, which is a twisting of the stomach often brought on by gulping too much food too quickly. I'm a GSD, and my vet advised my family to feed me twice a day, morning and evening, so I won't get too hungry and gobble too quickly.
When I was a puppy, up to about 14 months, I had breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but now I can wait longer between my two meals per day.
While we're on the subject of food, you should be on a high quality diet that contains no corn, wheat, by-products, "digest," or other fillers. Ask your human to read the labels, as if you were a toddler, and look for the first ingredient to be meat (not "meal"). If they buy premium food, you will need to eat less, and you will poop less, too! Here are some good brands to try: Orijen, Wellness, Lotus, Solid Gold, Inova, Before Grain, Taste of the Wild. Your humans could try feeding raw, but it takes some research to do it right.
Good luck!
Katie answered on 3/15/09. Helpful? / 0
For adult dogs, some say twice a day. Others swear by once a day.
The best advice I can give is to take a look at the reasons on how often to feed from both sides and decide for yourself. Then use whatever works best for you. I personally feed once a day.
The argument I have seen for twice a day is that it reduces stomach gases or something or that sort. The argument I have seen for once a day is that it's better for performance (Agility, Fly Ball, etc) dogs, especially when fed in the evening.

Depends totally on age, size, and how much they are exercised.
Babies or adults should have a very good diet. Along with regular vet appointments to ensure vaccinations and checkups for heartworms ect.
If in doubt you can ask your vet how he thinks the dog's progress is going.

I free feed my dog because he doesn't eat a lot so I don't need to worry about him overeating. Most people will say its bad to free feed but if the dog regulates himself then its okay.
Some people swear its better to feed one meal a day, I personally think that feeding multiple times a day will decrease the chance of bloat as well as the dog being less hungry during the day.
Very young puppies need to be fed 3-4 meals a day.
Think of it like humans, babies need to be fed often throughout the day (and night), soon (like 6-12 week old pups) they can be fed less often, adults can eat 1 to 3 meals a day depending on their lifestyle and preference. Active people need to eat more.
The same follows for dogs, if you have a dog competing in say, agility, you will need to feed more food or more often then if you had a dog that stays indoors sleeping 9 hours a day.
It also depends on size, if you have a Yorkie you'll feed less often then if you had a Great Dane, big dogs prone to bloat.

I think that it is best to feed your adult dogs twice a day. I had a dog that I kept food out for her all the time and she was never overweight and not a very hungry dog. It depends on the dog. It may be true that the expensive meat first dog foods are better but most people cannot afford them. We have found that Purina and OL'ROY are good brands for most dogs. My two dog have done great on them and I have one dog that is 15 1/2 years old, that speaks for itself. She is in good health and is running with my new one year old Lab.

Deviled Eggs with Cucumber, Dill, and Capers
A mix of Dijon mustard, briny capers, chopped cucumber, and dill brings unexpected flavor and crunch to deviled eggs. It's easy to forget that these cocktail snacks are low in fat -- not to mention high in protein and calcium.
- Yield: Makes 16
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2009
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus sprigs for garnish
- 2 tablespoons brine-packed capers, rinsed and chopped
- 1/2 English cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced (1/2 cup)
Prepare an ice-water bath. Place eggs in a medium saucepan, and add cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Cover, and remove from heat. Let stand for 13 minutes. Drain, and transfer eggs to ice-water bath; let stand until cool.
Peel eggs, and cut in half lengthwise. Transfer 3 yolks to a medium bowl, and mash with a fork until smooth; reserve remaining yolks for another use. Stir in yogurt, mustard, pepper, chopped dill, capers, and cucumber. Spoon filling into egg whites. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes or up to 1 hour. Garnish with dill sprigs just before serving.

Surgeon brands his initials on patient's liver
A surgeon in the UK has been suspended over allegations that he "branded" his initials on to a patient's liver.
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust confirmed that they were investigating the claims made against a surgeon at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
The letters were reportedly found by a colleague during a routine operation.
The surgeon has been suspended while an internal investigation is carried out.
In a statement, the Trust said: "Following an allegation of misconduct, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust has suspended a surgeon while an internal investigation is completed".

Citi Bike Glitch Exposes Personal Information For Over 1,000 Members
(Lauren Evans) A Citi Bike software problem earlier this month resulted in a security breach for over 1,000 members, and was followed by a confusing scramble on behalf of the bike share program to contain the damage. We received a tip today from a Citi Bike member named Cody, who yesterday received a bizarre correspondence from the company alerting him to the fact that his account information—including his name, address and credit card number, expiration date and security code—may have been compromised during a "data breach," which was temporarily made public due to a URL error.
Sounds reasonable enough. But the letter, dated July 19—one day after Citi Bike's credit card machines went down for 45 minutes—contained some strange errors that caused Cody to doubt the letter's authenticity.

When it comes to a workout move, it doesn't get much harder than a burpee. Elite military forces and football teams incorporate burpees into their workouts, and for good reason. Burpees combine a squat, push up and jump, all into one torturous move. They require strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility. The great thing about burpees is that they only require your bodyweight and some serious willpower. They can be done almost anywhere, which makes them perfect for workouts done on the road or in small apartments.
How to perform a burpee:
1. Start in an upright standing position
2. Squat down and touch your hands to the floor in front of your feet
3. Swiftly push your feet back into a push up position
4. Perform a push up, then jump your feet back towards your hands
5. Stand up and jump, with your hands reaching towards the sky
6. Land in a squat position, and repeat
Benefits of burpees:
- Strength Training – Burpees work your entire body, from your lower back and abs to your quads and hamstrings. They are a great exercise to build and strengthen muscles.
- Cardiovascular Endurance – Your heart rate will blast through the roof while during burpees. It is one of the best full cardio workouts, and it's only one move!
- Flexibility – Burpees help to increase flexibility in the back, hips, legs and core.
- Tone Muscles – Because burpees work so many muscles, it is one of the best moves you can do for your entire body.
- Convenience – Since burpees only require your body, they can be done almost anywhere, making them one of the most convenient exercises to perform.
Burpees are a challenging move, but they offer many rewards. Try adding a set of them into your current workout routine and watch your strength and cardio conditioning improve each day!

Online Youth Networks: Researching the Experiences of 'Peripheral' Young People in Using New Media Tools for Creative Participation and Representation
Notley, Tanya M. & Tacchi, Jo A. (2005) Online Youth Networks: Researching the Experiences of 'Peripheral' Young People in Using New Media Tools for Creative Participation and Representation. 3CMedia: Journal of Community, Citizen's and Third Sector Media and Communication, 1(1), pp. 73-81.
Online networks can support broad communicative participation and interaction and new media technologies have the potential to allow individuals and groups to reflect, create, maintain, establish, challenge and subvert the media and political representations that affect them. For 'peripheral' youth - those living outside of national and global cultural and economic core centres - new media technologies can enable access to multiple and diverse audiences, that may otherwise have not been reachable. This paper will explore the meaning of 'peripheral youth' and will consider how, using the Internet as a medium for distribution and communication, these young people can represent their local lives and explore different issues, identities and representations through participation in an online youth network.
The experiences of 'peripheral youth' with using new media will be explored in the context of the Youth Internet Radio Network (YIRN) Project, currently being implemented by Queensland University of Technology. YIRN is designed as an 'open architecture' platform for experimentation, dissemination and exploration of the potential of streaming technologies to promote the production and distribution of creative content by young people. This paper will investigate the implications of this network for the young people in Queensland who are participating and whose access to new media technologies and diverse audiences is limited due to geographical, social and cultural contexts. By engaging with young people active in the network, this research examines how online participation relates to, and is affected by, their local offline lives.

sheathing nails
I've always used 6d 2" galvanized nails for house sheathing. Some guys I know think the 6d are overkill for 1/2" and 5/8" ply and use 4d 1 1/2". Aren't they a little too small??

I'm just a volunteer with Habitat here in Denver so that's my entire building experience but here's what they use on their houses.
7/16" OSB for the sheathing the walls and 8d common nails.

Modeling the kinetics of enzymic reactions in mainly solid reaction mixtures
Halling, Peter J. and Wilson, Stephen K. and Jacobs, Ralf and McKee, Sean and Coles, Christopher W. (2003) Modeling the kinetics of enzymic reactions in mainly solid reaction mixtures. Biotechnology Progress, 19 (4). pp. 1228-1237. ISSN 8756-7938Full text not available in this repository. Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
There is currently considerable interest in using mainly solid reaction mixtures for enzymic catalysis. In these reactions starting materials dissolve into, and product materials crystalize out of, a small amount of liquid phase in which the catalytic reaction occurs. An initial mathematical model for mass transfer effects in such systems is constructed using some physically reasonable approximations. The model equations are solved numerically to determine how the reactant concentrations vary with time and position. To evaluate the extent to which mass transfer limits the overall rate of product formation, an effectiveness factor is defined as the ratio of the observed total reaction rate to the total reaction rate in the reaction limited limit. As expected, the value of the effectiveness factor in steady state is strongly dependent on the Thiele modulus. However, it is also observed that the effectiveness factor can vary widely as a result of changes in the other dimensionless groups characterizing the system. For example, there are situations with Thiele modulus equal to unity in which the value of the effectiveness factor varies between approximately 0.1 and 0.8 as the other parameters are varied in physically reasonable ranges. Analytical asymptotic solutions that provide good approximations to the numerically calculated results in various physically important limiting cases are also presented.

/// O'Reilly and Hannity, Live on Your iPad
While dozens of digital media companies spent the past few weeks rolling out new Web series in search of television dollars, Fox News believes it's got something far more valuable: actual TV. The network has quietly begun enabling customers of AT&T U-Verse, DirecTV and several other small cable systems to stream its linear network live on their tablets or smartphones (though not via desktops and laptops yet) provided they prove they're paying subscribers. As of now, Fox News strips out TV spots on these platforms, but plans are in the works to start selling video ads during the livestreams. "There's a big opportunity to explore dynamic live commercial insertion," said Jeremy Steinberg, Fox News vp of digital sales and business development. "Authenticated TV is the direction we're going as a business." Steinberg argues that until recently, because cable has held back much of its content from the Internet to protect its MSO relationships, it's been missing out on the Web video ad boom. But as authentication becomes more prevalent, he said, it should attract more brand dollars. "[Our TV shows] are quality content people have no access to yet online. It's not user-generated, you know where it runs, you know it's quality. Given the volume, this could be a big deal." Volume will be a bit of a question early on, or at least until bigger cable companies are on board. Plus, Fox isn't the only cable network available online. CNN lets users stream the linear network, complete with TV ads; ESPN is planning to follow Fox's lead and start selling video ads, said a rep. The Web video push isn't the only digital plan on Fox's horizon. The network, never the biggest Web player despite its TV dominance (its digital properties reached around 30 million unique users, versus close to 60 million each for CNN and MSNBC), is a big proponent of tech-driven ad selling. Recently, Fox began using Collective Media's Amp platform to help the publisher discover untapped audiences on its site as part of a new initiative dubbed Fox News Plus. With Plus, Steinberg will try to unearth audience segments that are responsive to a particular brand's message. A tech advertiser could target an alternative demo on Foxnews.com , for example. "What's been lacking for many publishers are audience analytics and insights that ad networks have," Steinberg said. "Now, I can go to an advertiser and say, 'We can do exactly what these other guys do, and we have trusted content and highly engaged users.'" On that note, Fox is also making a move away from using ad networks entirely as it embraces real-time bidding in a big way—a tactic it increasingly finds more profitable than outsourcing its sales, Steinberg said

Gay marriage clears another statehouse hurdle in Hawaii
By Treena Shapiro
HONOLULU (Reuters) - Hawaii's House of Representatives approved a bill on Friday to legalize same-sex marriage in the overwhelmingly Democratic state popular as a wedding and honeymoon destination, paving the way for anticipated final passage in the Senate next week.
The measure cleared the House in a late-night vote of 30-19, with six of the chamber's seven Republicans joining 13 Democrats in opposing the legislation. Two Democrats were absent for the vote.
Governor Neil Abercrombie has indicated he would swiftly sign the measure into law, making Hawaii the 15th or 16th U.S. state to extend marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples, depending on when the governor of Illinois signs that state's bill.
As currently drafted, the Hawaii bill would take effect on December 2.
"This is about a move toward acceptance, tolerance and compassion," Representative Sylvia Luke, chairwoman of the House Finance Committee, said as the House floor debate began hours before the vote.
The vote in Hawaii comes at a time of increasing momentum for gay marriage in the courts, at the ballot box and statehouses across the country.
Hawaii's Supreme Court ruled two decades ago that banning same-sex marriage was discriminatory, helping to advance gay rights nationwide but also sparking a backlash that kept the legislature passing a bill on the issue.
With public opinion shifting, Abercrombie, a first-term Democrat, called the state legislature into special session late last month to consider a bill that rolls back a 1994 statute defining marriage as between a man and a woman only. Continued...

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Hello there! There are a few possibilities as to what this may be. This may be a STYE, which is a swelling of the eyelid caused from blockage of ducts. The best treatment home remedy for this would be to apply warm compresses to the eyelid three to four times a day. Also, you would try and wash the eyelid with some baby shampoo twice daily (tearless) to help alleviate the blockage. Put a little in a capful of water and use a Q-tip to lather it on the eyelid. Other possibilities include infection of the eyelid. You would then need to consult your physician for possibile antibiotics to clear the infection. This could also be allergy related, thus I would advise to take any of the OTC medications for allergies. Benadryl would be the best choice as it is short acting but can be quite sedating. If you are having any vision problems, please follow up with a physician immediately!
Take a hand towel and dip it in some hot water. Ring it out and apply to the eye for about 20 minutes. Do that 3-4 times daily.

My sons hair is perpetually dry, no "second day" hair, dry. He has low porosity hair. Here's what we do(mind you, he's 3)...
1) Rake suave everlasting sunshine condish through dry hair, let sit for 2 minutes while I wash him up
2) Rinse, immediately rake yes to carrots condish through hair
3) Smooth out access product (too much causes sudsing or flaking), let sit while he plays to allow time for absorption of first product layer
4) Smooth through dime size dollop of Grapeseed oil to seal (other oils dry him out or don't absorb)
5) Leave bath, dry off
6) Blow dry on low-warm air for 2 minutes to reopen cuticle and allow for maximum absorption
7) Finish with a cool shot of air,cuz he gets a kick out of it!
Other products he's had success with: garnier fructis triple nutrition (old formula), tresemme naturals smooth, tigi moisture maniac, shea moisture raw shea conditioner(not the mask).
Furthermore, I've found adding glycerin to a good ole fashioned protein free rinse out is powerful!!!!

Brian Schottlaender, UCLA, opened the meeting of the PCC Participants Discussion Group on February 16, 1997, at the Library of Congress. As chair of the PCC Executive Council, he welcomed participants to the celebration of the one-millionth record contributed by NACO libraries and over 100,000 new authority records contributed in fiscal year 1996. Schottlaender reported on the PCC-CONSER consolidation and its status. Following separate and joint meetings at the Library of Congress last November, the Executive Council of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) and the Policy Committee of the Cooperative Online Serials Program (CONSER) agreed to join forces. The newly consolidated PCC will comprise four technical programs: BIBCO, CONSER, NACO, and SACO.
Four conclusions were reached in support of the consolidation:
Consolidation would allow the program to be more responsive, speed decision-making, broaden the constituency, allow program elements to be implemented across the board, and make possible an easier resolution to economic issues.
As currently envisioned, the new structure will include a policy committee with representatives from CONSER, BIBCO, and NACO; a smaller steering committee; two operations committees; and three standing committees (Automation, Standards, and Training). The CONSER Operations Committee will continue to be inclusive, whereas the BIBCO Operations Committee will have ten rotating members. The chairs of the standing committees will serve on the Policy Committee. Two draft documents are being prepared: one on the governance structure (which will be revised slightly to incorporate comments made at the PCC Executive Council meeting held before ALA) and the other on the strategic plan consolidation.
The merger of the two programs will enable the strategic plans of each to be consolidated into one single strategic plan. The current effective target date for consolidation is October 1, 1997. CONSER will continue to follow its current guidelines until the combined strategic plan is issued. Working groups are looking at the issues of governance structure, merging the strategic plans, and establishing an effective advisory structure. A smaller group will later look at funding issues.
Schottlaender also reported that the CONSER Task Force on Conference Publications finished its draft revision of LCRI 12.0A, which describes the cataloging of conference proceedings. A module for newspaper cataloging has been written in support of the United States Newspaper Program (USNP) and is currently being used by newspaper catalogers. It was also reported that Jean Hirons and Crystal Graham with the assistance of the CONSER AACR Review Task Force will author a paper on seriality. The paper is to be presented at the International Conference on the Principles and Future Development of AACR in Toronto in October 1997.
Ann Della Porta then presented the report from the Cooperative Cataloging Team. She announced the dates for the next Series Institute as April 16-18, 1997; spoke of the NACO 20th year anniversary celebration now planned for ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco; and described plans for upcoming NACO training. She also praised the SACO libraries for their record-setting contributions of new subject proposals. The first SACO Workshop, taught by Lynn El-Hoshy, Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO), was held before ALA Midwinter and was designed to assist catalogers interested in learning how to propose subject headings for LCSH and classification numbers for the LC Classification schedules.
In fiscal year 1996, the first year of BIBCO, almost 15,000 bibliographic records were contributed by twenty libraries. (These records can be identified by "pcc" in the 042 field and are supported by full authority work for all access points.) Della Porta announced the availability of the fifth edition of Subject Cataloging Manual: Subject Headings, and the second edition of NACO Participant's Manual and reported the results of the core- level record experiment completed at the Library of Congress.
The following libraries joined the program and received NACO training in fiscal year 1996: Blackwell/North America, Bowling Green State University, Brooklyn School of Law, Brown University, Cooperative Computer Services, Eden-Webster Library (Florida State University Law Library), Freer Gallery of Art, Indiana University Law Library at Indianapolis, Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, Indiana Historical Society, Michigan State University, National Art Library (Great Britain), Oliveira-Lima Collection (Catholic University), Pace University Law School, University of California at Santa Barbara, University of Kansas, University of Nebraska at Lincoln, University of Wyoming, and Western Washington University, in addition to the DC Law Funnel Project.
The final portion of the evening was highlighted with the PCC Awards Ceremony. The recipients were:
In conjunction with the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Washington, D.C., the Cooperative Cataloging Team hosted three training sessions in support of Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) projects.
On Friday morning, February 14, Lynn El-Hoshy presented the SACO workshop entitled "How to Propose Subject Headings to LCSH." Approximately one hundred catalogers learned the principles and practical aspects of proposing subject headings and classification numbers for publication in LCSH and the LC Classification Schedules, respectively. In fiscal year 1996, SACO libraries contributed 3,473 proposals for new or changed subjects and class numbers.
The Friday afternoon BIBCO workshop, "Timely Access to More and Better Cataloging: PCC Values Training" attracted over forty participants. Penny G. Mattern, consulting user training analyst with OCLC, led the group in examining how shrinking budgets have affected the cataloging environment. Mattern advocated the use of the PCC-designed core-level record as one way to reduce the costs of cataloging, while still offering a high quality record to the user. In fiscal year 1996, participating BIBCO libraries pioneered this new option, creating 2,606 core-level records.
Thirteen catalogers, ten from NACO libraries and three from LC, attended the two-day "Training the NACO Trainer" workshop that followed the ALA meetings. Staff from the Cooperative Cataloging Team, CPSO, and the Technical Processing and Automation Instruction Office served as faculty. The intensive course prepared participants to train new libraries who wish to join NACO (Name Authority Cooperative Program). Trainers who attended this course two years ago have been invaluable partners in NACO's annual training initiative to add twenty new libraries per year.
Future cooperative cataloging training sessions already scheduled include the sixth Series Institute on April 16-18, 1997, and a NACO training course, July 15-18, 1997, preceding the American Association of Law Libraries conference. The Library of Congress is the location for both sessions.
REUSE is a project involving OCLC, some German libraries, and the Library of Congress to enable the exchange of bibliographic and authority records between the U.S. and Germany. After thirteen months' work, the project's steering committee held its final meeting March 13 in Dublin, Ohio. Barbara Tillett, chief, CPSO, represents LC. The committee has ascertained that USMARC records from OCLC can be matched for use in German libraries with simple matching algorithms using Allegro software. Differences in cataloging practices for personal names and uniform titles have been identified, and proposals have been made to the German Expert Group for RAK (the German cataloging rules) to revise RAK to conform to ISBD and AACR2 in significant areas that will facilitate future exchange of records. The parties agreed that there should be active participation of German libraries and library networks in sharing authority data internationally. The expert group would explore matching the German authority records against the LC authority records to insert LC record numbers into the German records for future links.
In the area of corporate names the differences in the cataloging rules between the two countries will need to remain to reflect different philosophies of corporate entry and structure. For example, German cataloging rarely provides headings for subordinate bodies.
In the area of uniform titles, work will be done to explore the possibility of having a machine-code for some of the form subheadings, including languages and form titles such as "works" and "selections."
The issue of multi-level works remains a challenge, as the German participants want particularly to preserve their fuller contents analysis to accommodate retrieval from closed stacks. In the United States libraries often do not provide bibliographic descriptions of all physical pieces of a multi-part item, especially when the titles of the pieces are non-distinctive.
The REUSE Steering Committee's final report is due in May. It will be published simultaneously by OCLC and the University of Goettingen.
LC team leaders and catalogers who work with history, political science, international relations, and international law were invited to an orientation workshop sponsored by CPSO in February on new subclasses JZ (international relations) and KZ (law of nations). Conducted by law classification specialist Jolande Goldberg, the workshop emphasized the structure of the new subclasses and their eventual impact on the schedules and custodial assignments of materials. Based on treaty law in international legislation, JZ and KZ will have a major effect on the classification of treaties, which will be removed from their current locations in history and political science. A background paper distributed before the workshop explained the LC collections policies and classification history that resulted in the placement of treaties in their current classes.
JZ and KZ present a single hierarchical development that libraries can apply as they wish, in either political science (class J) or law (class K). These subclasses will replace the current subclass JX (international law and international relations). For libraries that use LCC, the elimination of JX will necessitate reclassification of holdings.
The Cataloging Directorate's Subject Cataloging Working Group (SCWG), in cooperation with CPSO, is sponsoring a series of briefings on the LC Classification Schedules for staff who use the classification schedules in their work.
A member of CPSO usually gives a broad overview of a particular schedule. This is followed by presentations given by other staff on the unique aspects of that schedule in daily work. Through lectures and handouts, speakers may address one or more of four broad categories: distribution of materials, cataloging, shelflisting, and reference. Specific topics include the history of the schedule, explanations of tables and subarrangements, and reasons why certain materials are covered by one schedule and not another.
To date, the program has included briefings on the Z, P, and H classification schedules.
During a visit in March to St. Petersburg, Russia, Jolande Goldberg held several meetings with staff at the National Library of Russia (NLR) about the USMARC Format for Classification Data, development of a new law classification scheme for NLR, and the use of the RUSMARC format, which is also being developed there. Meetings chaired by Marina Ekstrem, head of Processing and Catalogues, and Yulia Selivanova, head of the Automation Section, were devoted to preparations for online conversion of the library's classification scheme using the MARC format. The Russians also expressed interest in the MINARET software that LC has used for the online conversion of its classification schedules.
Goldberg led an information session for law specialists from the NLR's Law Section. These specialists are preparing a draft of a new law classification scheme to replace the one that was abolished in 1991. The library now orients itself toward the West, and Goldberg was asked to provide the LCC schedules covering European countries and international law. Her final meeting was with Galina Rieder, head of the Rare Book Recataloging Group, and group staff, who are retrospectively converting several hundred thousand cards to RUSMARC.
The British Library (BL), the Library of Congress (LC), and the National Library of Canada (NLC) have reached a major milestone in the harmonization of their MARC formats. Agreement has been attained on full harmonization of USMARC and CAN/MARC. In addition, a technical meeting held at LC in January 1997 made significant progress on alignment with UKMARC.
The benefits of a harmonized format include easier and more efficient record exchange between the users and producers of MARC records, elimination of the need for conversion programs, and potential reductions in the expense of format maintenance and documentation. Whereas full harmonization of USMARC and CAN/MARC has been accomplished, the three libraries recognize that UKMARC must retain certain features of particular value to the UKMARC user community, and therefore full harmonization is not achievable in the short term. Partial alignment is being pursued immediately, with full harmonization as a longterm goal.
Meetings of representatives of the BL, LC, and NLC were held in Washington on December 2, 1996, and February 18, 1997. It was agreed that over the next few months, LC and NLC will formulate mechanisms for the coordination and approval of future format development as well as determine a schedule for implementation. To facilitate the continuation of the harmonization process with UKMARC, a MARC Harmonization Coordinating Committee was also established. The committee is interested in the following developments:
In addition, a technical panel will meet regularly to discuss issues relating to the formats.

PaOHV's Segregation of
Funds Bill Is Law
PaOHV's Segregation of Funds bill has been signed by Governor Wolf. It is effective in September 18.
This is a major win for PaOHV members.
Senator Pat Stefano's (R-Westmoreland) legislation divides the Snowmobile/ATV fund into separate funds. Registration dollars paid by ATV owners can only be used to fund ATV projects. Co-mingling of ATV and snowmobile funds ends when the act becomes effective.
The bill redefines the composition of the Snowmobile/ATV advisory committee. A representative from the Department of Community and Economic Development and the Pennsylvania Economic Development Association are added. The two seats allotted to conservation and non-motorized recreation organizations have been removed.
Finally, the bill restructures the DCNR grant program converting it to a semiannual rather than an annual application. There will be two grant application cycles in 2017.
A companion bill, HB 970, was sponsored by Rep. Martin Causer (R-Cameron). PaOHV thanks both Senator Stefano and Rep. Causer for their foresight and leadership on this issue.
PaOHV Alert-the next General Membership conference call meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 5:30 pm. Questions can be directed to Don McClure at email@example.com or 717-920-1312.
The Pennsylvania Off-Highway Vehicle Association
The Pennsylvania Off-Highway Vehicle Association (PAOHV) is an independent incorporated association organized by OHV enthusiasts and businesses to fight for the rights of Off-Highway users. PaOHV is recognized by statute by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources as the sole/official voice of ATV/Trail Bike community. PaOHV holds representation on the Snowmobile/ATV Advisory Committee (SAAC).
PaOHV's Mission
PaOHV Alert-next General Membership conference call is set for Wednesday, January 25, 2017 at 5:30 p.m. Questions can be directed to Don McClure at

Dogs Injured in Pawtucket Pit Bull Attack
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) _ Two small mixed-breed dogs are recovering from injuries suffered in an attack by a pit bull in Pawtucket, where that breed is banned.
Ray Clement tells WJAR-TV his dogs, Petey, a white Jack Russell mix, and Holly, a black mini pincher were attacked during a walk last Tuesday, when the pit bull broke away from its owner and jumped them.
Both of Clement's dogs are recovering from puncture wounds.
Pit bulls are banned in Pawtucket, despite a new state law which prevents municipalities from barring any particular breed of dog or cat. City officials say they believe the law only applies to future bans.
Animal control officials say the pit bull's owner is from Woonsocket, and was visiting Pawtucket with the dog, which has been placed in quarantine.
