The San Manuel Miners varsity football team welcomed the visiting Benson Bobcats to Littau Field on Fri. night only to have the Bobcats take a bite out of the Miners 4 – 1 record as San Manuel fell to Benson 52 – 6.
Benson scored 52 unanswered points until San Manuel scored their only touchdown late in the fourth quarter to finally get on the scoreboard.
The Bobcats got the scoring going early with a 44 yard touchdown run by Dylan Layton with 8:32 showing on the clock in the first quarter, the two point conversion failed for a 6 – 0 lead.
San Manuel was forced to punt after five plays giving the ball back to the Bobcats at their own 25 yard line.
Benson fumbled the ball on the seventh play of the drive that was recovered by safety Adrian Torres.
The Miners lined up at their own 44 yard, on the first play of the drive the pass was intercepted and returned down to the Miners 28 yard line that led to another Layton touchdown run five plays later with a 13 yard scamper into the end zone, the two point conversion was no good for a 12 – 0 score with 11:23 on the clock in the second quarter.
The Miners were forced to punt again which led to a third touchdown for Layton on the fourth play of the drive coming on an eight yard pass from quarterback Travis Barney, the two point conversion was no good for an 18 – 0 lead with 7:02 in the second quarter.
San Manuel took the ensuing kickoff to start the drive from their own 24 yard line, on the third play of the drive San Manuel fumbled the ball and Mike Greer from Benson picked up the loose ball a ran it in from 34 yards out for the touchdown, the point after touchdown kick was no good for a 24 – 0 Bobcat lead at the half.
In the third quarter, Benson kept on scoring after another Miner punt, this time Greer scored on the offensive side of the ball on a 24 yard touchdown run with Layton scoring on the two point conversion for a 32 – 0 lead with 8:06 in the third quarter.
On the next possession for the Miners from their own 20 yard, San Manuel threw a lateral pass to the right side of the field where the pass was incomplete but a heads up Austin Avila from Benson picked up the loose ball a ran it in from 18 yards out for the touchdown, the two point conversion failed for 38 – 0 lead with 7:54 in the third.
The Miners punted the ball back to the Bobcats where Benson would keep on rolling as Jordan Roller punched the ball in from 12 yards out on the second play of the drive marching from the Miners 42 yard line, the PAT kick by Blake Rhodes was good for a 45 – 0 score with 3:38 in the third quarter.
The AIA imposed Mercy Rule was now in effect with the running clock only stopping for injuries and time outs.
San Manuel started out their next drive deep in their own territory at 15 yard line, after a penalty and three plays later – the Miners lined up to punt on fourth down from the eight yard line. The San Manuel punter took the fumbled snap, throwing the ball back towards the line of scrimmage where lineman David Daniels intercepted the errant pass and rumbled into the end zone from 10 yards out for the touchdown, the kick by Rhodes was good for the 52 – 6 score.
The Miners would finally find their way onto the scoreboard when San Manuel lined up at their own 36 yard line, running back John Ruiz took the handoff on the first play of the drive and sprinted down field 64 yards for the touchdown, the two point pass went incomplete for a 6 – 52 final.
Head Coach Steve Elmore said, "It was a tough game all around. The one positive to come out of the game was that no one gave up and we fought till the end."
This week is Homecoming and the Miners will host the Globe Tigers. Globe is coming off a 27 – 6 loss to Morenci and posts an identical record as the Miners at 4 – 2 on the season.
The Homecoming Parade starts at 4pm uptown and the traditional Burning of the 'M' will be at half time along with the crowing of the King and Queen royalty.

It's the time of year when all the commercials you see on TV seem to have magically shifted from hawking toys and luxury goods to encouraging you to have less in your life: whether it's weight, nicotine craving or stress, the resolution season all seems to be about reduction. With that in mind, then, here are a few tips for ways to slim down your job hunt for 2014:
STOP: Blind-submitting your resume
Seriously. When was the last time you—or anyone you know—got offered an interview after throwing your resume into the void? If you don't have someone at a firm that can refer you for a job you're interested in (i.e. a person who can email your resume directly to a recruiter or hiring manager), then spend your time trying to find someone. If all else fails on that front:
START: Tailoring your resume and cover letters for individual job openings
This involves more than just finding the name of a contact person so you don't have to open with "Dear Sir/Madam." Read the job ad and take note of the language used there, and mirror it in your application—and especially in your resume. With so many firms using software as their initial resume screening tool, using the appropriate keywords is an unfortunate necessity for those hoping to ensure that they make it to the point where a real, live human will consider their application.
STOP: Applying for every job you see
There are times in the job search where it can feel like the right position will never come along and, with most recruiters just an email away, it can be difficult to resist the temptation to just submit an application for a position that you know isn't right. However, the reasons not to include lapsing into bad habits (see the points above), as well as taking your time and attention away from securing a position that you'd actually want to land.
START: Working your network
What better time of year than winter to pull out one of the oldest chestnuts in the job search field? As oft-repeated as it may be, the advice to ask friends, family, former colleagues and the like to keep an eye out for possible openings for you has never been more timely. Letting people know that you're looking—and what you're looking for—will ensure that you're top of mind when that internal-notification-only position opens up at your old college roommate's office.
STOP: Confusing "searching a job site" with "searching for a job"
If it isn't abundantly clear by now, there's a whole world of positions out there that never make it to the online job boards, while the ones that do attract fierce competition.
START: Filling in the gaps on your resume
Whether it's a new skill or certification, or the need to list recent experience when you haven't worked for a while, there's no time like the present to start adding to your resume. Despite the sluggish job market, options like online education, classes at your local college, and volunteer work can all provide skills and experiences that could make the difference on your next interview.

In case you missed it (no worries, many of the people I talk in depth about these things do, IMHO), my research is of theoretical nature (I tried bench chemistry, but my back is not strong enough for that): I am interested in how to digitally represent chemical knowledge. I get excited about Shannon entropy and books from Hofstadter. I do not get excited about "deep learning" (boring! In fact, the only fun I get out of that is pointing you to this). So, arguably, I am in the wrong field of science. One could argue I am not a biologist or chemist, but a computer scientist, or maybe philosophy (mind you, I have a degree in philosophy).
And that's actually where it starts getting annoying. Because I do stuff on a computer, people associate me with software. And software is generally seen as something that Microsoft does... hello, engineering. The fact that I publish papers on software (think CDK, Bioclipse, Jmol) does not help, of course.
That's where that darn Open Science comes in. Because I have a varied set of skills, I actually know how to instruct a computer to do something for me. It's like writing English, just to a different person, um, thingy. Because of Open Science, I can build the machines that I need to do my science.
But a true scientist does not make their own tools; they buy them (of course, that's an exaggeration, but just realize how well we value data and software citations at this time). They get loads of money to do so, just so that they don't have to make machines. And just because I don't ask for loads of money, or ask a bit of money to actually make the tools I need, you are tagged as engineer. And I, I got tricked by Open Science in fixing things, adding things. What was I thinking??
Does this resonate with experience from others? Also upset about it? What can we do about this?
(So, one of my next blog posts will be about the new scientific knowledge I have discovered. I have to say, not as much as I wanted, mostly because we did not have the right tools yet, which I have to build first, but that's what this post is about...)

Again about synchronization
Disclaimer: Although I have no relationship whatsoever with CompanionLink, I do advertise their product now because of that nice letter. :-)
The product is an Android-based synchronization solution for PIM and CRM data. Try it, it is a great product but I use it as a pretext to emphasize again my mania about synchronization as a key mobile enabler. I have already written a post about it, there is also a more detailed paper involved there. My claim is that synchronization should not be considered as part of PIM or CRM systems, it is a general enabler because mobility inherently requires disconnected operation due to varying network conditions. Therefore my dream synchronization solution is not restricted to predefined data types but can be used as a building block in any application.
In order to demonstrate my point, here is a larger Android client-Java server application I wrote some time back. The application itself probably cannot be executed on the latest Android platform because the API changed since and I was lazy to bring up the application to the latest API. It does demonstrate, however, that synchronization needs can be identified in any mobile application, for any type of mobile data.
So Rushang, if you listen to me, you turn your product into a general-purpose synchronization component.

what would you do if you were looking for a highly scalable android synchronization client/server solution. Where would you start?
- November 6, 2008 at 6:23 PM
- Gabor Paller said...
What do you mean by "looking for"?
The Android software market is nascent. As my post about Android synchronization framework shows (quoted in this post), Google has identified a need for it early on so they may offer a solution. Right now, however, you have small companies like the one mentioned in the post.
If "looking for" means a product strategy, I would go for standards like SyncML Datasync. The project you can download from the link in the post (the Peeble project) contains SyncML DS client-server application. There are established, highly scalable SyncML DS servers on the market, you just need to create a client. The Peeble sources come with no chains - completely free, copyleft software - but this is not more than a prototype. Personally, I would go for a general-purpose Android client-side SyncML DS component that is interoperability-tested with at least one established SyncML DS server. General-purpose means that the solution must be able to synchronize any data type, not just the popular PIM or CRM data so that you can embed the component into your application. Mobile operation means potentially disconnected operation, disconnected operation means synchronization. If you need the quoted paper, write to me: gaborpaller at gmail.com

hello ,i am android beginner and working on peer to peer sync in mobile on android platform .To implement this what should be the approach to start .is there any API to sync two mobile devices?
- February 25, 2010 at 6:29 PM
- Gabor Paller said...
Bhaskar, no, there is no such an API. Understandably, Google is not very keen on providing P2P APIs. E.g. the XMPP API could be used for P2P messaging in early (pre-1.0) versions of the SDK, that feature was removed.

Los Alamos National Laboratory
Elaine Santantonio: creating an efficient cyber workplace
Creating an efficient cyber workplace
Having lived and worked all around the world managing networking—including Sweden, New Zealand, Oregon and Maryland—Elaine Santantonio may be the perfect person to improve mobility, communications and cyber security at Los Alamos National Lab.
From desktop to teraflops
A recipient of the Lab's 2014 Women Who Inspire awards, as the Network and Infrastructure Engineering (NIE) Division Leader, Santantonio helps provide technical communication and workplace infrastructure and services for the "desktop to teraflops" cyber workplace.
While Santantonio may be worldly, she came from humble beginnings, the daughter of a farmer and the first in her family to graduate from college.
New passion leads to a career in computing and application development
She earned her master's in biology from New Mexico State University and, passionate in statistics and programming, transitioned to computing and application development jobs far from her home.
She helped put mobile devices into the hands of Lab employees, praised for increasing efficiency and communication, but also introducing a substantial cyber security challenge for Santantonio and her team. Santantonio's organization also provides the classified and unclassified network infrastructure and services the Lab.
Like mother, like daughter—courageous and ambitious
Inspired by her mother, who dropped out of high school to raise a family but returned to school and obtained her GED, Santantonio urges young women beginning their careers to find the courage to believe in themselves, and to not be too humble to ask for help.

Mixed-use development combines multiple property uses within a single building or development, such as residential, office, retail, industrial, hotel and community purposes. Colliers' professionals who specialise in mixed-use leasing, development, investment sales and management seek to leverage the attributes and traffic of each property type for the benefit of all.
For developers, mixed-use buildings and developments can take advantage of off-peak hours for one use, such as office space, that may be peak hours for other uses, such as restaurants and entertainment venues. This allows for more robust building with lesser requirements for parking and infrastructure, promoting greater capacity for leasable area and often higher property values.
For retailers and office users, location in a mixed-use development adjacent to strong brands has a halo effect—for example, in a mixed-use lifestyle centre, financial planners and dental and aesthetic medicine offices experienced a boost in traffic by associating their location with high-end consumer retail brands. Office users also see adjacent retail, fitness and community space as a strong employee incentive.
For communities, a mixed-use development can reduce commute time and encourage customer traffic well beyond typical business hours. Residential development in mixed-use communities often drives residential unit sales due to the close proximity of amenities such as dining, grocery and retail, while the proximity of residents assures retailers of a stronger customer base.
Our experts in mixed-use development provide developers, landlords and tenants in mixed-use development with insight, advisory, transaction and management services to maximise the benefits of a mixed-use property.

In the digital age, your website is everything. It's your business card, your storefront and your brand all rolled into one. Making sure your website sends the right message — and making sure that your potential customers can find it — should be the first items on your marketing to-do list.
Ethan Willis and Randy Garn run a business coaching and consulting firm called Prosper, and they specialize in helping business owners create effective websites that also rank highly in search engine results.
They give BusinessNewsDaily readers five very useful tips on how to start make their website more marketable and accessible.
Social media optimization
The first step to search engine optimization is social media optimization (SMO). It's the golden ticket to higher status in searches. The formulas used to calculate your status in search engine rankings depend on two basic activities: participation and promotion.
Participation in other networks and communities — such as Facebook, Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn — are crucial. You should rate articles, submit articles or websites other than your own and build a network of people who are interested in you and your company.
Promotion involves promoting your own articles or websites to the other people within your network. You should also promote others, returning the favor. By participating and promoting, you increase SMO. Expect major payouts in the form of traffic — the kind that converts to sales.
Get listed on directories
Directories are a major way to gain credibility and link popularity for your website. A lot of directories have good page ranking, and it is a good way for your site to get a one-way link from a page that has a good page rank. The best source for finding free and paid directories is a list kept by SEO Company.
Create articles
Articles help to create back-links to your website, gaining link popularity and furthering natural search engine optimization . Submitting just one article a week creates the opportunity for as many as 20,000 potential published sites. The goal is more back-links to your site than to your competitors.
Keywords in your articles are critical to increase your site's rankings and popularity. Paying for article submissions, at least part of the time, may help to increase your Web popularity. Paid submissions often allow your site to anchor up your major words in your articles. In most cases, paid submission also guarantees your article is submitted. There are several good resources for article submission. They include: Article City, Go Articles , I Snare, Financial Resource Directory and Article Fever.
Avoid poorly executed designs
Like it or not, your business marketing advertisements become an instantly recognizable symbol of your company. If successful, people see your advertisement or your logo and instantly recall your product and business information. If poorly executed, your advertisement becomes the punch line of a bad joke. Think message but also go back to basics with good grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Color plays a surprisingly large part in ensuring successful website design . Fast- food restaurants frequently use oranges, yellows and reds in decorating, packaging, and advertising. When choosing colors for your website and your brand, know your target audience and the intended effect you wish to have.
Harness the power of pop-ups and banners
The most profitable advertisements — those leading to sales — are pop-ups. The most successful pop-ups are placed on your own website advertising a special, a sale or a new product.
Look into upcoming software, such as WhenU, which places price comparison pop-ups on competitors' sites. Although such software is fairly new on the market, users have found these pop-ups much more profitable.
Banner ads have generally been considered a customer acquisition tool. However, recent research suggests that 12 to 15 percent of clicks on a banner come from return customers. Use rich media (something more than just plain stationary text) in your banners to create customer retention.
Ethan Willis co-authored "The One-Minute Entrepreneur" (Crown Business, 2008). He is passionate about entrepreneurship, has founded or co-founded six businesses in the past twelve years, and has employed over 5,000 people during that span.He has been recognized as Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst and Young, and a Top 100 Entrepreneur by Vspring, and his companies have been recognized as one of the best places to work in Utah.
Randy Garn is one of the founding partners of Prosper Inc. He currently oversees the New Business Development Department and works closely with some of the world's most renowned educators, speakers, and thought leaders.
Garn has founded several online marketing companies including AdCafe.com.He was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst and Young, was a Top 40 under 40 Entrepreneur, and has helped the company receive various awards in social and charitable involvement.
Garn and Willis have written a new book, also called "Prosper" (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2011)

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Revolution Chief Operating Officer Brian Bilello has accepted FC Dallas President and CEO Doug Quinn's challenge in the "Get In and Win Charity Challenge" ahead of tonight's game in Frisco, Texas. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on Comcast SportsNet and on the radio at 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Should FC Dallas defeat New England, Bilello will donate four FC Dallas 2011 season tickets to the Frisco Family YMCA. However, if the Revolution can snap Dallas' 15-game unbeaten streak, Quinn will donate four Revolution season tickets to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston.
The Revolution – and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston - will look to be the first recipients of season tickets from Quinn as FC Dallas has won two previous "Get In and Win" challenges.

Sometimes a re-captioned picture is worth more than a thousand words. This one breaks the bank. Can't stop laughing and just had to share. Democrat, Jon Edwards ( of the five hundred dollar haircuts) and Republican, Arnold Schwarzenegger,(aka The Spermanator) may be on opposite sides of the political fence, but they are brothers under the skin.
Just so you know, Republicans don't have a monopoly on men behaving badly, nor do international investment bankers. Boys will be boys no matter what side of the aisle they sit on, and so will politicians.
Major H/T to Dump A Day where I found this and Anomaly100 who sent it to me

Depriving herself of alcohol for the month of July didn't quite have the virtuous results Gill South expected.
Hoorah, two more sleeps and my Dry July is over. August 1 is going to be like Christmas. July is such a looooooong month, isn't it? I mean 31 whole days, what was I thinking?
I can honestly say I've never looked forward to August with such enthusiasm - it may be the depths of winter but I don't care, I love it with all my being.
Most people, I realise do this knock off booze thing in February because it's a nice short month and January has been a bit excessive. But my Februarys are so precious, I have my wedding anniversary, my birthday and the kids go back to school. So many causes for celebration.
And when I say Dry July, it's my Dry July- it's been a bit informal. I've not gotten round to fundraising or registering online for it, I thought I'd just send a cheque to the highly deserving Auckland Hospital oncology ward.
As one who is not a big drinker - I drink pretty close to the conservative recommendation of four glasses a week for a woman, although the NZ Alcohol Advisory Council says I'm allowed 14 units a week. For me, my alcohol drinking really isn't about quantity, it's about quality. And deprivation of my beloved Hawkes Bay buttery, oaky chardonnay lowers my quality of life.
For instance, Friday nights. We typically come home from indoor cricket around six and are ragingly hungry. We have home-made pizza and while the kids eat theirs in front of the telly, I sit in the kitchen with my thin-based version, lots of salad and read the new Listener. And, at my elbow, sits a nice glass of wine. Bliss. But for the past five weeks, well it feels like five, it's been a cup of tea or a lime and soda. And that just isn't right.
I think we all have certain treats during the week that keep us going and it's very disconcerting when these treats are suddenly forbidden. And because you can't have them, the more you want them. Another good reason not to diet.
As for Saturday nights, we tend to have a really nice dinner in or out. My approach with wine has always been, if a great meal has been prepared with fantastic ingredients it deserves a glass of wine to go with it, no matter what the day. It's a matter of respect.
As to the health effects of this jolly Dry July, I had hoped there would be something, but no. I've been accused of being grumpy. It has not helped my sore throat which has carried on regardless. My skin has been a bit more spotty, something I had put down to drinking wine, prior to this. And I certainly haven't had the weight drop off me as always happens with men when they stop drinking. This is partly because I don't drink enough for it to matter, and my intake of chocolate has stepped up to compensate. By the way I've discovered a new favourite - Lindt dark chocolate with blueberry and almonds. Fantastic and antioxidants galore!
A friend is up from Queenstown for the Food Show and she wants to go to Depot for dinner. I accept with indecent haste. August 3, no problem. My life is back! And if you happened to have seen a woman with her face pressed against the Glengarry's doors in Westmere, on August 1 at 9am, that was me. Don't worry, I didn't have it for breakfast or anything. I'm not that sad.
Next week:
I am going to spend an afternoon at a Creativity for Wellbeing workshop with therapist Janet McLeod, and the theme is gratitude.

I like fire. I like setting fires. In high school, I used to steal chemicals from the lab so I could colour the family home's fireplace. LIthium in enough quantities would create this red/fuschia flame, while cupric chloride would make green flames. Luckily no one at the shop has taught me to use the brazing torches, otherwise I would have slagged frames left and right and burned Davidson Bicycles to the ground by now.
That's why Will Meyers is brazing my new frame, not me. Here he's doing a fillet braze around the head tube. Notice the glowing red spot visible from inside the head tube; that's the steel where he's laying down brass. I didn't have my camcorder otherwise I could have shown you how he carefully flicked the torch to keep a steady temperature without over cooking the tubes. The flame is a lot less than when he brazes lugs.

Germantown resident Madhusmita Bora, 34, has visited the island of Majuli in northeastern India several times. It is located in the Brahmaputra River in Assam, and a visitor needs to take a ferry to get there. Each time Bora reluctantly boards it.
The first time she rode on it, she remembers, the 75-person capacity boat had 375 people on board and was riding very low in the water. Three steps led down to an overcrowded cabin with the windows boarded over. She spent the entire trip standing on one leg. Above deck were squeezed two cars and a bunch of goats, cows and other animals. There were no life jackets, and the river was deep.
While the trips are dangerous, Bora's end goal are always worth the risk. She is trying to save the ancient art form of Sattriya. In 15th century Assam lived the social and religious reformer Srimonto Sankardev. He challenged the ruling priest class of Brahmins by advocating for an equal and just society and against the caste system; preaching the adoption of monotheism through worship of Vishnu alone; and translating the sacred Hindu scriptures into the common language. To promote his teachings, he developed one-act plays that told stories based mostly on Vishnu. The dance form of Sattriya accompanied these plays and evolved into its own separate art form, still telling the same stories.
The Brahmins responded by persecuting him and his followers, even at one point banishing them to the island of Majuli. Sankardev and his acolytes decided the only way to preserve the teachings was not to trust outsiders. The dances and texts were entrusted to monks, who quietly practiced it in their monasteries (sattras) on the island.
That is where it stayed, mainly hidden from the outside world, for well over 500 years, but that has been recently been changing. In the 1970s several monks left the order, settled in nearby cities and trained people in the dance. Then in 2000, the Indian government officially recognized Sattriya as one of eight official Indian classical dances.
"I have mixed feelings about it getting the classical status," explained Bora. "It has become the 'hot thing,' and there are more performances, but the flip side is that the dance is being corrupted, changed to include movements from other classical dances and appeal to everyone."
The other classical Indian dances use the nine "rasas" (emotions) liberally during their performance, but the "absolute pure style" of Sattriya has only one emotion allowed: devotion. Every dance ends with a complete surrender to the supreme being, mirroring the culture of Assam, where the dance originated. The people of Assam are humble folk, and that should come through in the dance.
Bora knows about Assam culture because she was born and raised there, in the village of Madhabgaon. She comes from a large family and remembers seeing aunts and uncles performing in village festivals and watching Sattriya when she was a child. However, her family was also very politically active, and because of her father's affiliations they were forced to leave the area because of assassination attempts.
She earned a post-graduate diploma at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication in New Delhi in 1999, specializing in print journalism. That year she came to the U.S. to see her fiance and study at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. She moved around the country working in newsrooms from 2000 until 2008, when her son, Arush, was born. This brought her back to Philadelphia to be with her husband, Saurav, a physicist at the University of Pennsylvania, and also helped renew her love for Sattriya.
"I wanted to pass along part of my heritage. I knew he was going to be raised an American, but I wanted him to know both worlds. That's when I started seriously thinking about Sattriya again," she said.
Her trips to the island and its monasteries, especially the Uttar Kamalabari Sattra, have been specifically to learn and document the pure form of the dance before its original form is lost for good. The urgency of documenting the traditional form of Sattriya is not only because of the modern influences that are being incorporated, but something more powerful: mother nature. The island is slowly getting eaten up by the river. Some monasteries have been completely wiped away already, including the art, artifacts and history inside.
In 2009 she won an Art and Change Grant from Philadelphia's Leeway Foundation to study the choreography of the dance. In 2010 she was awarded another grant from the foundation to document the basic and traditional grammar of the dance, and then again in 2011 to write a book detailing the specifics of Sattriya.
In 2009, she and her sister-in-law founded the Sattriya Dance Company in Philadelphia and began performing at various venues, including at the Library of Performing Arts at Lincoln Center. However, some of her most memorable performances were at area schools.
"Kids always pose the best questions and see things that grown-ups don't," Bora said. "Someone once said, 'Hey, that looks a lot like hip-hop, the steps.' Can you imagine that 600 years ago they were dancing like that? It really grew into an acrobatic, exciting form of dance. You have to do headstands and backbends and all sorts of difficult moves. There are 72 exercises you do to make your body more flexible; they are the grammar of Sattriya."
Sattriya is more of a spiritual journey for Bora than a performance. She was raised by a very secular family, but Sattriya helps her connect with something bigger than herself. "Sattriya transports me to this peaceful and happy place and it comes across in the dance. Every dance tells a different story, but every one ends in complete surrender to the universe."

Fuller Rose Beetle Meeting Provides Guidelines
A meeting was held in Visalia on June 17 on the subject of protecting citrus fruit against egg-laying by Fuller rose beetle. Fuller rose beetle is extremely difficult to kill- the adults are built like tanks, live forever, and can go weeks without feeding. Foliar applications of Sevin, Actara and Kryocide work the best to kill adults, but no insecticide treatment kills all of them. The larvae are underground so they are difficult to treat. The eggs have a thick outer shell that protects them from insecticides and they are tucked under the button of the fruit. Because foliar insecticides are not very effective, the best line of defense against the pest is preventing it from ever reaching the trees. To accomplish this, a two step approach is the best strategy. First, skirt prune the trees up at least 24" so the branches don't touch the ground. This forces the flightless beetles to climb the trunk to get to the leaves. The next step is to block them from climbing the trunk by applying Brigade WSB in a thick band around the trunk. (See our web site for more details on how to build a spray wand to treat tree trunks http://ucanr.edu/sites/KACCitrusEntomology/Home/Fuller_Rose_Beetle_384/Management_36/) The Brigade repels the beetles and if they cross it, paralyzes them. The best treatment is the 0.5 lb AI/acre rate. The current 2ee allows only one treatment of this rate. CCQC hopes to obtain a 24c special registration, in the near future, that allows two treatments of this rate. The Brigade lasts 12-16 weeks and so a treatment applied in June and one in September will protect the trees from more than 90% of the beetle emergence. Foliar treatments could also be applied to provide a further level of protection. Research is underway to study the efficacy of these methods and to develop a post harvest treatments to replace Methyl Bromide fumigation, which is no longer allowed in Korea.

I have SS filler and an Econotig. I understand the weld won't exactly be perfect as the metals are dissimilar. I did one sign and lets just say my TIG skills could use some help. ( first time using the machine since I got it 2 years ago) I had 2 friends, both experienced in TIG offer to help me and then bail. I am in the North Dallas area. Looking for someone with TIG skills willing to help me out either at my shop or I can bring the pieces by, preferably in the evening as it is hard for me to break away during the day. I am hoping to barter/trade for this help, the laser cutting blew my budget due to my mistake. Anyone willing to help a fool, please email me at snpequipment @ gmail dot com

Drink Water Love Life, brought to you by Waterelated Products
This is the online magazine - it's still being worked on, still have lots of dummy text and the layout has yet to be complete, but it's getting there!
The magazine is basically being launched as a community health awareness initiative set forth by Waterelated (http://www.waterelated.com). Through this initiative, we hope that we can help people become better educated when it comes to health issues, and inspire them to pay more attention to their fitness and personal well-being.
We also want to give small businesses and independent health professionals within the wider community a chance to contribute to give themselves more credibility and exposure online, and perhaps even get some business out of it.
We want to make it fun and trendy (the colour scheme will be altered to reflect that and the chosen logo).
Mainly people located in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, but really anyone that has access to the internet and an interest in their health and well being. We want to create a trendy-ish image to be able to get people to hype it up and also be able to identify with it so that they will comment and use the share features. We also want to gain trust and credibility from our readers, and there you have it!
You're pretty much free to use your creative chops - pretty much the only restrictions are:
Size - it needs to be able to fit in the left side of the logo bar, leaving just enough space for a small banner ad if need be
Water - have something to do with water (the magazine is being launched by Waterelated, so it has to be tied in somehow!). I've attached an image that we like, but you don't have to use it - just let it guide and inspire you!
The name - Drink Water Love Life
Things to keep in mind - we do want to include '...brought to you by Waterelated' (with the Waterelated logo) somewhere on the site, perhaps on the top with the DWLL logo, so it should be able to look somewhat co-ordinated with it (I've uploaded that image too!).
Don't let that scare you though - we're pretty open!
The winning entry must be provided to us in .eps, .psd formats.

Traversing the Teacher-Evaluation Terrain
November 18, 2013
How are teacher-evaluation policies shaping up across the fifty states and Washington, D.C.? Are these policies building strong structures that will lead to academic success? Or are statewide evaluations the latest Rube Goldberg invention, with too much complexity and too little of the local flexibility that would allow for continuous improvement in teaching? Which states are leading the way and which are just checking off the policy box for an NCLB waiver?
Join the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, National Council on Teacher Quality, and School Improvement Network for a double feature on the latest teacher-evaluation research and a lively discussion about the best way forward on teacher-evaluation reform.

Within SCARPA's Alpine Touring and Freeride ski boot fleets, including NTN telemark boots with tech fittings, mounting procedures and positions aren't the same across the board. With different lower cuffs, scaffos, as described by the Italians, SCARPA has different positions for optimal pivots within four touring categories.
SCARPA's eye for ergonomics pays heed to the nuance of movement. Freeride and Alpine Touring boots constructed on the same scaffo, such as the Skookum, Mobe, and Shaka, should all have their toe piece mounted 4mm back from the standard jig mount while the heel piece remains flush and in sync with the jig for proper mount location. Rando Race boots such as the F1, F1 Race, and F1 Carbon should have the toe piece mounted 6mm back for optimal pivot positioning.

Alternative Names
Nurse midwife; CNM
Nurse-midwifery dates back to 1925 in the United States. The first program used public health registered nurses who had been educated in England. These nurses provided family health services, as well as childbearing and delivery care, at nursing centers in the Appalachian mountains. The first nurse-midwifery education program in the U.S. began in 1932.
Today, all nurse-midwifery programs are in colleges and universities. Most nurse-midwives graduate at the Master's degree level. These programs must be accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) in order for graduates to take the National Certification Examination. Applicants for nurse-midwife programs usually must be registered nurses and have at least 1-2 years of nursing experience.
Nurse-midwives have improved primary health care services for women in rural and inner-city areas. The National Institute of Medicine has recommended that nurse-midwives be given a larger role in delivering women's health care.
Many studies over the past 20 – 30 years have shown that nurse-midwives can manage most perinatal (including prenatal, delivery, and postpartum) care. They are also qualified to deliver most family planning and gynecological needs of women of all ages. Some may check and manage common adult illnesses, as well.
Nurse-midwives work with OB/GYN doctors. They either consult with or refer to other
The nurse-midwife is educated and trained to provide a broad range of health care services for women and newborns. CNM functions include:
- Taking a medical history, and doing a physical exam
- Ordering laboratory tests and procedures

CNMs are legally allowed to write prescriptions in some states but not in others.
Certified nurse-midwives work in a variety of settings. These may include private practices, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), hospitals, health departments, and birthing centers. CNMs often provide care to underserved populations in rural areas or inner-city settings.
Certified nurse-midwives are regulated at 2 different levels. Licensing occurs at the state level and falls under specific state laws. As with other advanced practice nurses, license requirements for CNMs can vary from state to state.
Certification is done through a national organization and all states have the same requirements for professional practice standards. Only graduates of nurse-midwifery programs accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) are eligible to take the certification exam given by the ACNM Certification Council, Inc.

* Color Your Own Coloring Book With Ikea Bird Fabric
We found this fun black and white bird fabric at Ikea last month
and as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted some for a coloring project with the girls.
It was so cute and looked like a coloring book on fabric to me.
We put a scrap of cardboard underneath the fabric while we worked
so it wouldn't bleed through onto the table or itself.
I picked up a package of Tulip brand fabric markers from Walmart --
they were okay and not too stinky
but some of the colors were duller than we would like.
We ended up supplementing with some of our own permanent markers.
It became a whole family coloring project.
Geoff and I worked on it alongside with the girls.
I left the fabric and markers set up for about a week on the art studio table
and we would wander in there off and on and sit down and color a bird or two.
No rules, just color a bird however you want.
It's fun to see how they're all different.
My original intention was to make some throw pillows for
the playroom reading couch but then I didn't want to cut off any of the birds
the girls colored and liked the way it looked spread out on the table.
So it was time to come up with plan B.
The girls' bathroom upstairs has an old lace curtain I've never liked.
Sorry, no before photos but trust me - it was not my style (or yours!)
I would call it "old lady decor".
Not to be rude to any old ladies out there,
I'm just not there yet and wanted something a bit more fun in the girls' bathroom
to go with their fun polka dot shower curtain. : )
So, I decided to make a new bathroom window curtain with the bird fabric.
Photo of the new curtain - sorry it's a bit dark.
But you can see the corner of their adorable shower curtain (got it at Target in 2004)
and nubby turquoise bath rug (got it at Ikea last month)
Bird curtain in all of it's colorful and fun glory.
Makes me smile every time I walk upstairs!
Bought some other black and white fabric as well -- think we'll
be doing some more fabric coloring!

CAIRO— An Egyptian court on Thursday acquitted former leader Hosni Mubarak's two sons and his last prime minister of corruption charges, a verdict announced just hours after security forces arrested a prominent activist as part of an intensifying crackdown against icons of the nation's 2011 uprising.
The Cairo criminal court found Gamal and Alaa Mubarak and Ahmed Shafiq innocent of corruption in a case that arose from the 1995 sale of a plot of land to Mubarak's sons by an association led at the time by the former prime minister. Prosecutors claim the land was sold to the two at a price lower than its market value and were given a larger plot than what was stated in the contract.
Also acquitted were four retired generals who served as board members of the association.
Alaa, a wealthy businessman, and Gamal, his father's one-time heir apparent, are facing a separate trial on other corruption charges. They have been held in detention since April 2011, two months after their father resigned in the face of a popular uprising.
A small group of Mubarak supporters in the courtroom cheered the verdict. "Oh Gamal Mubarak, the presidency awaits you," they chanted.
Shafiq, a career air force officer like Mubarak, has lived in exile abroad since he was narrowly defeated by Islamist Mohammed Morsi in a presidential runoff in June 2012. Security officials at Cairo's airport say Thursday's verdict repeals standing instructions that Shafiq must be arrested on arrival at any of the country's entry ports, clearing the way for his return. It is not clear whether Shafiq plans to resume his involvement in politics.
A statement by the court said that the irregularity committed by Mubarak's sons and Shafiq is no more than an "administrative violation" that is not criminal. It also said that Alaa and Gamal Mubarak have given back the plot. It did not say whether the two could face any other penalties.
Morsi was toppled in a popularly backed military coup on July 3 and is on trial for inciting murder while awaiting a separate trial on charges of conspiring with foreign militant groups. Mubarak was sentenced to life in 2012 for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the 2011 uprising that ended his 29-year rule. He was acquitted on appeal and is now being retried.
The airport officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to journalists.
Meanwhile, authorities arrested Mohammed Adel of April 6, one of several youth movements that led the 2011 uprising.
Lawyer Gamal Eid said Adel and five others from The Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights in Cairo were seized along with computers during the raid early Thursday. All six were blindfolded and handcuffed when taken to an unknown location where they were kept for seven hours.
Eid said the six were later taken to a police station before the five were released. Adel remained in police custody.
The lawyer said security officers pushed a gun inside the mouth of one of the five during their detention to make him be quiet and beat up another. His account could not be independently verified, but rights activists have complained of growing police brutality in the five months since Morsi's ouster.
A statement by 14 Egyptians rights groups denounced the raid, saying it pointed to a "new chapter of repression, dictatorship and autocracy in Egypt."
Already in detention are three of the 2011 uprising's best known youth leaders: Alaa Abdel-Fattah, Ahmed Douma and Ahmed Maher. They are accused of breaking a recent law that places draconian conditions on street protests and of assaulting police.
The acquittal of the Mubarak sons and Shafiq and the detention of the 2011 uprising leaders likely will give credibility to claims that the government installed by the military in the wake of Morsi's removal was prepared to accommodate Mubarak-era figures to counter the opposition by Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. Cozying up to the Mubarak-era figures and businessmen also could widen the government's base of support at a time when the battered economy is showing no sign of a quick recovery and activists are stepping up criticism of its human rights record.
Nearly all policemen charged in the killing of more than 800 protesters during the 2011 uprising have been acquitted or receive suspended sentences, causing an outcry among activists and victims' families.
Morsi's supporters wage near-daily protests in Cairo and other major cities to demand his reinstatement. The protests often end violently.
The government will face its first test when the draft constitution penned by a 50-member panel appointed by the Interim President Adly Mansour is put to a nationwide vote on Jan. 14-15. The Brotherhood says it will boycott the vote and called on its followers to take to the streets to protest during the two-day referendum.
Parliamentary and presidential elections are expected by the summer of 2014, although it has not been finally decided which will be held first. Mansour, the chief judge of the Supreme Constitutional Court, on Thursday held the first of four meetings with politicians, associations, unions and youth groups at the end of which he is expected to announce a firm and final timetable for the two votes.

"Good as Money" proclaimed the ad for Twenty Grand Vodka infused with Cognac. Being a beer drinker, and never having cashed in a Budweiser to pay for a fill-up at the local gas station, I said to myself "Man, that must be really good stuff!" Even in a financial meltdown I thought, you could use it in place of cash, diamonds, gold or Bitcoins! And if the Mongol hordes descend upon us during a future revolution, who wouldn't prefer a few belts of Twenty Grand on the way out, instead of some shiny rocks and a slingshot?
Well, not being inebriated at that moment I immediately shifted focus to a more serious topic. What IS money? A medium of exchange and a store of value is a rather succinct definition, but we generally think of it as cash or perhaps checks that reflect some balance of "ready" cash at a friendly bank. Yet as technology and financial innovation have progressed over the past few decades, and as central banks have tenuously validated the liquidity and price of various forms of credit, it seems that the definition of money has been extended; not perhaps to a bottle of Twenty Grand Vodka, but at least to some other rather liquid forms of near currency such as money market funds, institutional "repo" and short-term Treasuries "guaranteed" by the Fed to trade at par over the next few years.
All of the above are close to serving as a "medium of exchange" because they presumably can be converted overnight at the holder's whim without loss and then transferred to a savings or checking account. It has been the objective of the Fed over the past few years to make even more innovative forms of money by supporting stock and bond prices at cost on an ever ascending scale, thereby assuring holders via a "Bernanke put" that they might just as well own stocks as the cash in their purses. Gosh, a decade or so ago a house almost became a money substitute. MEW – or mortgage equity withdrawal – could be liquefied instantaneously based on a "never go down" housing market. You could equitize your home and go sailing off into the sunset on a new 28-foot skiff on any day but Sunday.
So as long as liquid assets can hold par/cost with an option to increase in price, then these new forms of credit or equity might be considered "money" or something better! They might therefore represent a "store of value" in addition to serving as a convertible medium of exchange. But then, that phrase "Good as Money" on the vodka bottle kept coming back to haunt me. Is all this newfangled money actually "money good?" Technology and Fed liquidity may have allowed them to serve as modern "mediums of exchange," but are they legitimate "stores of value?" Well, the past decade has proved that houses were merely homes and not ATM machines. They were not "good as money." Likewise, the Fed's modern day liquid wealth creations such as bonds and stocks may suffer a similar fate at a future bubbled price whether it be 1.50% for a 10-year Treasury or Dow 16,000.
But let's not go there and speak of a bubble popping. Let's perhaps more immediately speak about current and future haircuts when we question the "goodness of money." Carmen Reinhart has said with historical observation that we are in an environment where politicians and central bankers are reluctant to allow write-offs: Limited entitlement cuts fiscally, no asset price sink holes monetarily. Yet if there are no spending cuts or asset price write-offs, then it's hard to see how deficits and outstanding debt as a percentage of GDP can ever be reduced. Granted, the ability of central banks to avoid a debt deflation in recent years has been critical to stabilizing global economies. And too, there have been write-offs, in home mortgages in the U.S., for example, and sovereign debt in Greece. But the cost of these strategies, which avoid what I simplistically call "haircuts," has been high, and their ability to reduce overall debt/GDP ratios is questionable. Chairman Bernanke has admitted that the cost of zero-bound interest rates, for instance, extracts a toll on pension funds and individual savers. Some of his Fed colleagues have spoken out about the negative aspects of QE and future difficulties of exit strategies should they ever take place. (They won't!) So current policies come with a cost even as they act to magically float asset prices higher, making many of them to appear "good as money" — shots of vodka notwithstanding.
But the point of this Outlook is that even IF… even IF QEs and near zero-bound yields are able to refloat global economies and generate a semblance of old normal real growth, they will do so utilizing historically tried and true "haircuts" that rather surreptitiously "trim" an asset holder's money without them really knowing they had entered a barbershop. These haircuts are hidden forms of taxes that reduce an investor's purchasing power as manipulated interest rates lag inflation. In the process, governments and their central banks theoretically reduce real debt levels as well as the excessive liabilities of levered corporations and households. But they represent a hidden wealth transfer that belies the vaunted phrase "good as money."
Before drinking up, let's examine these haircuts to see why they do not represent an authentic store of value even if their bubbly prices never pop. I will give each haircut a symbolic name – I welcome your suggestions as well via e-mail reply: email@example.com

As the presence of craft beer grows in the hearts and minds of America, so does the opportunity to find unique and creative gifts to thrill those hopheads and stout enthusiasts in your life this holiday season.
Think beyond the Beers Of The World gift pack and custom bottle openers to unique gifts that that will thrill the beer lover on your list.
- KegWorks Stainless Steel Beer Growler. A growler is basically a legal to-go container for beer. Prized by many a beer lover for the ability to transport our favorite brews into the comfort of our own home -- especially those ultra-special beers that never get bottled, just kegged and sent to our local watering holes. It's essential to own at least one if you want to secure the title of True Beer Geek.
- Dogfish Head Beer Shampoo Bar. Word on the street is that beer actually has an unparalelled ability to turn unruly hair shiny and manageable. Dogfish Head brings you the hair-taming ability of beer, in a bar form that's perfect for travel (since it's not a liquid) or for camping. But really, it's just awesome to give beer shampoo for Christmas.
- Beer Tea Towels. If you've ever known a homebrewer, you've known someone familiar with the process of cleaning up beer. Make that process a little less painful with these fun beer-themed towels ... although they are so adorable they might be saved for something other than drying off a carboy.
- Beer glassware. I own all of these glasses and even have an entire shelf dedicated to beer glassware. Not only are these essential when sharing that hard-to-find 750ml bottle with friends, having them just makes you feel like a pro. Skip the kitschy pint glasses with cheesy sayings and get some of these well-made impressive glasses that your Beek Geek will be proud to serve from.
- Hop Candy. This isn't just candy made from an essential beer ingredient, it's also a way for Beek Geeks to show how different each variety of hops tastes. Because the tasty little hop candy uses different types individually, it's a fun addition to a beer-tasting party when you want to teach people how to pick out those specific flavors.
- The Craft Beer Cookbook. Know someone who loves beer and cooking? This is the book you want, 100 recipes all using beer as well as introduction-to-beer and cooking-with-beer chapters for those just jumping into the world of beer. OK, full disclosure: I wrote this book, but I still think it makes a really great gift.
- Growler Tap. Of all the beer gadgets I've seen this year, this one takes the stout cake. Once you open a growler you have very little time to consume it before you end up with the Sad-Face-inducing flat brew. The growler tap extends that time allowing you to drink what you want and save the rest. You can preorder here.
- Silver Hop Necklace. To those who aren't in the know, it just looks like a leaf, or maybe a pinecone. But the Craft Beer Lady in your life will know right away that it's the ingredient that gives her beer the bitter bite she loves.
- Rogue Beer & Cheese Holiday Gift Box. Move over, wine: craft beer is the new beverage to pair with well-made cheese. Especially when that cheese is also made with beer. This gift box not only comes with three fantastic Rogue beers (Morimoto Soba Ale is a favorite of mine), it also comes with three cheeses made with Rogue beer as well. The Chocolate Stout Cheddar alone is worth picking up one of these boxes for.
Did I miss any fabulous craft beer gifts? Tweet me at @TheBeeroness with the hashtag #Gifts4BeerGeeks to tell me what you love to give or what you would love to get.
Jackie Dodd writes the popular cooking with beer blog The Beeroness. A craft beer expert, she is also the author of The Craft Beer Cookbook.
