It's been several years since Texas coastal cotton received substantial rainfall during the growing season, but in spite of late planting and slow development, early predictions are that large areas of the Northern Coastal Bend as far north as Harris County may be in for good quality and fair yields.
Headed south to the middle and lower Coastal Bend, the cotton season was a wash for almost every grower as drought conditions continued to plague South Texas.
Further south in the Rio Grande Valley, dryland cotton failed to produce much of a crop, but most irrigated cotton got a boost from substantial yet spotty showers throughout the summer, and early harvest reports indicate many acres are showing promising yields and exceptional quality.
"We've got beautiful cotton, just not on as much ground as we would like or expect compared to what we are used to having, but we have some fabulous cotton here so far this year," reports Brad Cowan, Hidalgo County Extension Agent.
Cowan says it all comes down to who had the water this year, in terms of irrigation water, but more importantly "which crops were under the right cloud at the right time.
"It was good for the guys that got water, which wasn't in very many places, but for those that did get the rain and could irrigate as well, the cotton looks really good. For those of us that have been around long enough to know what a good cotton crop usually looks like down here, it looks sad this year, a bad year really in terms of the number of bales that will be harvested," Cowan added.
But he has seen some remarkable cotton in some fields, and what cotton has been harvested so far has been high quality and the fields are providing promising yields.
"If we had gotten a few inches more water at the right time, we may have seen even better yields. A lot of dryland cotton producers just zeroed out early on, but there were a few dryland farms that got just enough rain to bring in a little cotton, but for them it was overall a pretty bad year," he said.

Cowan says the high quality, high yielding cotton that has come in can be attributed to improved varieties and a boll weevil eradication program that is working and has minimized pest and disease pressure. He looks forward to the return of average rains and a resolution to the issue with water owed to South Texas by Mexico.
"If we could have gotten the water we were supposed to get according to the 1944 water treaty with Mexico, our cotton would have been a great deal better this year. And it's not just cotton, but all of agriculture in South Texas including cotton and corn, sorghum, sugarcane, and the citrus industry. Ranchers may not be culling their herds these hot summers if we had the water that is owed to us," Cowan said.
Middle Coast goes bust
Regardless how dry it was in parts of the Rio Grande Valley, large areas of the Coastal Bend fared far worse this summer in both cotton and sorghum crops. Long-time farmers in the region say what rain managed to fall in spring and summer wasn't bad, and it may have sustained a crop longer if it wasn't for two-plus consecutive years of drought that has scorched the Coastal Bend.
"I've been here 60 years and I've never seen anything like this," says Robstown cotton producer and Chairman of the National Cotton Council Jimmy Dodson, who farms cotton and grain near Chapman Ranch. "You would have to go back 100 years probably to see the same kind of issues we are having in this current drought period."
Dodson says for the first time he was not able to get a single acre of cotton to make a stand after planting last spring, citing extreme drought conditions and a shortage of water.
"Our other major crop is sorghum and we plowed under all of it except for about 400 acres that we harvested, and to be honest, it was pretty ugly. Crop insurance works pretty well when you see a drought coming though. My dad used to say crop insurance doesn't really change red ink to black; it turns it to a shade of purple, and we're pretty happy we have purple ink right now."
Chapman Ranch lies just to the south-southeast of Corpus Christi in Nueces County. The southern and western parts of the county have failed to get the same frequent showers this summer as experienced in the northern and northeastern region. From Sinton and Refugio and farther up the coast to Goliad, Victoria, Jackson, Wharton, and Colorado Counties, substantial spring and summer rains have provided adequate moisture for good growth, but late planting and unseasonably cool temperatures in April and May have caused many crops to develop slowly.
Grain sorghum particularly appeared to be of good quality in the northern Coastal Bend according to reports, and even better farther up the coast where more rains fell.
David Fields is the CEO of Gulf Compress, a federated coop, in Corpus Christi. A number of ginners up and down the Texas coast work with the Compress for warehousing and shipping to buyers.
"I want to see us get this crop out, and it will come out pretty quickly if we can get a couple of weeks without rain so they can get in the fields and finish up," Fields told Southwest Farm Press following a recent National Cotton Council tour of the Compress facility at the Port of Corpus Christi.
The Compress serves growers and ginners up and down the Texas coast and into the Rio Grande Valley with over 2.75 million square feet of storage space.
"I would say our average at the Compress is handling about 625,000 bales of cotton each year. This year I am expecting about 200,000 bales, which would make this the second worst year in the history of the coop," which was organized in 195, he said.
"Cotton is going to be down all across Texas this year but South Texas particularly has and continues to suffer from a severe drought. Up the coast line you will find some dryland acres of cotton that look pretty good because of regular rains, but in the western parts of Nueces County things are terrible because of dry conditions, and a little better down the coast."
In spite of a lighter South Texas cotton crop, producers say the race is now on. As harvest aids are applied on many fields and harvesting continues sporadically across the coast this week, the biggest fear becomes rain at a rare time when it not wanted.
But a sudden tropical wave developed across Mexican waters early this week and has brought broad rain showers all across South Texas and especially in coastal areas, which is threatening to derail harvest efforts.
The weather and the week ahead will be critical in determining how the season will fare in this the eleventh hour of the growing season.

Linda Pierre needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 273 designs submitted by 59 freelance designers.
To create a new logotype for our web shop with travel accessories at http://www.resklar.se with the name "Resklar" in text plus some sort of symbol in two different variants:
1. A logo for the web
2. A logo for print
I have added some new feedback in the "what I don't want" section.
We want to be the first place you go to when you are looking for travel accessories to make you feel ready for your trip.
We are based in Sweden, the site is in Swedish and deliveries are only available in Sweden.
Small, light and smart travel accessories from brands like Go, Eagle Creek, Silva, Victorinox ,
AQUAPAC, Maglite, Pacsafe and Nalgene.
Average Swedish travelers divided into five groups:
- Charter tourists
- Comfortable campers
- Ski travelers
- Weekend travelers
- Business travelers
They are all pretty causal travelers, no extreme outdoor types or off pist skiers etc.
Common characteristics and interests:- Travels often
- Curious
- Likes gadgets and travel accessories
- Likes to travel comfortable
bought this company a year ago and are currently building a complete
new website and replacing all photos on the site to get a more coherent
feeling. The new photos are up close, with reflections and will
increase the impulse to buy our products. The
structure of the new site will be much more focused on the products and let you buy
products as soon as you hit the main page. We will also launch a
related blog to write about new products, campaigns, collaborations and
traveling tips in general. The goal is to engage the customers and be
able to create a dialog with them instead of just trying to feed them with
commercial messages. The blog will be a service to share information
about travel blogs, social networks, travel videos and general tips on
how to travel comfortably.
We will also use social media to find out what products people want and need when they travel.
Now we need your help to design a new logotype for the site and for our business.
We want the two logos to express:
Passion for travelling
We are a modern company and a part of the social media scene
We listen to the consumers
- Light and comfortable way of travellingSymbol
- We want both logos to have a symbol (the same symbol)
- Examples: a passport stamp or postal stamp etc
- Should suite all our types of travelers ie not only charter (sun) tourists
- We are open to new suggestions as well.
- Maximum two colors in logo (today we use red and orange, that is not necessary in the next logo, want something new)
- Think travel, but not yellow for sun and blue for ocean (we don't want the Swedish flag)
- White background
Colors web logo
- User the same color as in the print logo but this logo can use nuances of that color
- 3d feeling
- Maybe refections
- Shouldn't feel "flat"
- White background
- Open both to captial and Format:
- Eps original file
- We don't want to be perceived as an outdoors web shop, there are to many of those in Sweden and we do not aim towards that target group. This means no: tents, compasses, people hiking and so on.
- No planes, we already have the problem that people think when they here the name that we sell travels. Res=travel klar=ready
- symbols with the sun
- symbols with a cload- Not too childlike expression
- if you choose to use a globe as a symbol to something new with it. Don't want to look like every other travel accessories web shop out there.
- Look at these Swedish competitors and don't do something simular:
- (most of these are focused on outdoor life which we aren't but there aren't any other competitors).

Wondering why it is that my placing a stethoscope on a patient's chest is universally interpreted as a signal for the patient (or a family member) to begin talking.

Wondering why it is that my placing a stethoscope on a patient's chest is universally interpreted as a signal for the patient (or a family member) to begin talking.

Dunno, but it happens to me all the time.ReplyDelete
YES! It's ridiculous how you can pretty much count on that happening every time. They either start talking or let out the loudest cough they can muster.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous12/13/2008 8:24 AM
OOOHH you are preaching to the choir! I know the feeling and then they keep talking after you tell them you are trying to listen to their lungs!ReplyDelete
That's the moment I always get somebody asking "so what do you do as a student then??"ReplyDelete
Which makes me want to reply "Well HOPEFULLY listening TO YOUR HEART AND LUNGS!!!"
- Not a Health Care Provider12/14/2008 9:06 AM
Excellent gripe. Forgive my compulsion to make a suggestion.ReplyDelete
Either the patient feels awkward, or the patient sees your own silence as their chance to talk. If the latter, this is a patient who did not come to the office with a written list of topics, apparently!
The following would work on me for sure:
When they start to talk, take the stethoscope off. Hold it midair. You're showing nonverbally that they've interrupted you.
Everybody has to take a breath. When they finally do move the stethoscope toward the body again. If they start to talk again, they really are not getting it, so try this: "I can listen to you, or I can listen to your heart, but not both at once."

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2006 Media Releases
Lincoln's disabled population will have new housing opportunities
Mayor Coleen Seng today announced that the Lincoln Housing Authority (LHA) has been awarded an additional $526,062 over the next five years by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD). The funding, provided by HUD's 2005 Mainstream Housing Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities Program, will allow the LHA to provide 20 additional Section 8 rental housing vouchers for households that include persons with disabilities.
"This is wonderful news for our disabled population," said Mayor Seng. "I can't thank our friends at HUD and the Housing Authority enough for what they're doing for those with disabilities in our community."
"The allocation of 20 new rental vouchers for a five-year period will allow the Lincoln Housing Authority to provide new housing opportunities for Lincoln's disabled," said Larry Potratz, LHA's Executive Director. "The additional vouchers will be given to disabled clients currently on LHA's Section 8 waiting list."
LHA's current waiting list has more than 1,600 households waiting for Section 8 rental assistance. Of those 1,600 households, about 256 are households that include persons with disabilities.
Because of limited funding, HUD has awarded Mainstream Housing Opportunity vouchers on a competitive basis nationally. "We are pleased that HUD could award these valuable vouchers to the Lincoln Housing Authority," said Stan Quy, Director of HUD's area office in Omaha. "The award of these vouchers addresses a great need for assisted housing for the state's disabled population."
The Section 8 rental voucher program allows qualified tenants to have a choice of rental units within the community. Tenants pay 30 percent of their income toward rent. The LHA uses the HUD voucher assistance to pay the difference between the tenant's 30-percent contribution for rent and the contract rent approved for a unit owned by a private landlord. LHA currently administers more than 2,800 HUD vouchers for the City of Lincoln. Once a family no longer needs or qualifies for Section 8 voucher rental assistance, the unused voucher is reissued to the next household on LHA's Section 8 waiting list.

Look to Overcome Heartbreak Last Year
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – At last year's Ivy League Championship, the title came down to just one match — the Yale men's fencing team fell to Harvard in the final bout, losing 14-13. The No. 10 Bulldogs hope to avenge that result this year at the Feb. 11-12 Ivy League Championships, hosted at home at Coxe Cage for the first time.
"Last year, we were within one touch of winning the Ivy League Championship," senior captain Shiv Kachru said. "It was the closest margin one could possibly lose by, and it was a heartbreaker for our team."
This year, the Elis enter the Ivy League Championship stronger for the experience.
"I do think that the loss [last year] made us even hungrier as a team this year, as we have worked to improve ourselves from last year and make the right adjustments to be successful this year," Kachru said.
And the team has the momentum of a duo of wins last weekend: Yale beat out Vassar, 20-7, and Drew, 24-3, in a double-header at Payne Whitney Gymnasium on Feb. 4.
Those strong results, along with the anticipated strong home crowd support, will propel the Bulldogs through the two days of competition. Fencing will commence at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, but the Elis' first round of bouts is at 12:30 p.m. against Brown. Following that match, Yale will take on Harvard.
Then, on Sunday, the Elis will open fencing at 10:00 a.m. against Princeton. The Elis face Penn and Columbia after the lunch break, with the hope that by the end of the day's competition, they will be in a position to clinch the tournament.
At last year's Ivy League Championship, Yale beat out Columbia, 19-8, Brown, 19-8, Penn, 15-12 and Princeton 14-13 to finish second overall. Still, those results earned several team members accolades: sophomore Cornelius Saunders took home the Most Outstanding Rookie Award, while junior Nathaniel Benzimra made the first team All Ivy and Kachru earned second team All Ivy honors.
Tickets for the Ivy League Championship can be purchased at the door. A day pass costs $5 for adults and $3 for students. A weekend pass costs $8 for adults and $5 for students.

MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin Democrats pounced Tuesday on newly released emails that indicate Republican Gov. Scott Walker's campaign aides worked closely with his Milwaukee County staff on media strategy during the run-up to his election, saying there's no doubt Walker himself was involved in illegal campaigning.
Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf revealed the emails during a sentencing hearing for one of Walker's county aides Monday. The proceeding was part of a monthslong secret investigation into Walker's county executive office. The governor hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing, but the probe's status is unclear.
The state Democratic Party issued a statement calling the emails a "bombshell" revelation that shows Walker turned his county office into a campaign machine.
"We believe this shows a much greater level of involvement of Scott Walker," party spokesman Graeme Zielinski said. "We believe he was running Milwaukee County like his campaign office."
Walker's campaign has insisted there's nothing uncouth about campaigns communicating with government workers.
"It is a common and routine procedure for campaign staff and an elected official's staff to discuss matters involving the elected official they mutually serve," Walker campaign spokesman Tom Evenson said in a statement. "These frivolous attacks have no factual basis."
Walker served as Milwaukee County executive until he was elected governor in November 2010. Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, a Democrat, launched a so-called John Doe probe into the county office in May 2010, some six months before the election.
His office has charged six people so far on counts ranging from exceeding campaign contribution limits to theft. Four have been convicted, including Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker's former county deputy chief-of-staff.
Prosecutors accused her of working on Republican Brett Davis' 2010 lieutenant governor campaign on county time using a secret email system. She pleaded guilty to one felony count of misconduct in office and was sentenced to six months in jail on Monday.
During the sentencing hearing, Landgraf presented dozens of emails Rindfleisch traded with potential hosts for Davis fundraisers during county work hours. Landgraf also told the judge that Rindfleisch was in close contact with Walker's campaign on government time. He noted investigators seized 2,216 emails between Rindfleisch and Walker's top gubernatorial campaign officials, including campaign manager Keith Gilkes and spokeswoman Jill Bader, that were transmitted during business hours in 2010.
Landgraf also pointed to an email Walker's county chief of staff, Tom Nardelli, sent to Rindfleisch, a number of other county workers, Gilkes, Bader and campaign consultant R.J. Johnson. Nardelli wrote that Walker wanted them to hold a daily 8 a.m. conference call in the county executive's office to coordinate on messages to the media.
The county office didn't release any statements without vetting them through the media group, Landgraf said. The emails showed Walker personally approved a news release on the county tax levy during work hours.
During one exchange in May 2010, Gilkes and Rindfleisch discussed leaking a story to the media about problems at the state-run Mendota Mental Health Institute to draw attention from the county's mental health hospital, where nine people have died since 2010.
"There has to be a way to blow up the Mendota story before they attack Scott," Rindfleisch wrote, adding in another message efforts to gather information on Mendota "must be done covertly so it's not tied to Scott, the county or the campaign in any way."
In another instance, Rindfleisch and Gilkes discussed how to respond to the June 2010 death of Jared Kellner, who was killed when a block of concrete fell off a county parking structure and hit him. Gilkes tells Rindfleisch in a message written the day of the accident to stay on top of other county staff and "make sure there is not a paper anywhere that details a problem at all." He also ordered Rindfleisch to have the county's attorney review "every piece of paper ever created on this structure."
Rindfleisch's attorney, Franklyn Gimbel, questioned why prosecutors haven't charged Walker, Gilkes or Davis.
Landgraf told the judge that Davis, who now serves as Medicaid director for the state Department of Health Services, is a matter for Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne since Davis lives in that county. He told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Rindfleisch sent emails to Davis telling him she was working on his campaign off government time.
He referred questions on Walker and Gilkes to Chisholm, who declined to comment. Davis didn't immediately return messages left at DHS or at his home Tuesday. Gilkes declined to comment. Evenson, Walker's campaign spokesman, said Walker is cooperating with authorities and isn't a target in the investigation.
Still, Democrats said Walker's campaign has acknowledged he played a role in directing routine illegal coordination between his campaign and the county.
"Emails to and from Scott Walker himself, introduced into the court record, remove any doubt about whether he was involved in the commission of crimes," the party said, "as well as whether his Milwaukee County office was merely an illegal adjunct of his 2010 campaign for governor."
Associated Press writer Scott Bauer in Madison contributed to this report.

Spot or Not: Lee Vista Gap

The first time I saw this gap I was on my way to a Nike shoot with Matt Manzari. Really, you can't miss it, since it's right off the highway. The gap is a scenic fountain in front a business complex, and well, it was just begging to be winched.
About three weeks after we saw it for the first time, we made it happen on the way to Louisiana. For lack of a better name, we've been calling it the Lee Vista gap. Since that first time we hit it, we have not been back, so if you go back, do something sick, and you can give it a better name.
To hit it, you have to park in the bank parking lot, about 200 yards down the street, and then walk the winch in. There is a big telephone pole that we hooked our winch up to, which sets you up perfectly in line for the gap. The start up for the gap is about 50 feet (you need somewhat of a powerful winch) and the landing is about 70 feet. We hit it mid day and got busted in about 20 minutes . I bet if you hit it later in the day, you would get a lot further. It was actually not the cops, but old dude with nothing better to do but to yell at some punk kids (Matt Manzari, Ryan Lemons and Myself.) Since we were on the beginning to trip, we didn't even bother to argue.
As for the gap itself, it is about waist high. The water comes right to the edge and I don't think that will change. It is a very fast gap and you can get a lot of hits in a short amount of time (especially if you are Michael Phelps).
Not many tricks have gone down on it yet. I did a kickflip down it and Lemons ollied over the wall (on the side there is a spot where you can ollie over the wall, which is about a foot high.) Somebody better get out there and start laying some tricks down before Manzari gets back there, because he will three flip it first try(not sketchy, perfect every time) and then follow that with a backside flip.
Have fun on it and make sure to let me know how it goes.

New Mexico State University students Gina Fullbright and Shelly Noe will be the first in New Mexico to graduate under NMSU's doctor of nursing practice program this December. The program offers a doctoral degree for nurses at the highest level of nursing practice.
"I am pleased to be able to join with other health care providers in New Mexico to work toward optimal patient outcomes," Fullbright said.
Fullbright has worked at NMSU for seven years and will continue to teach upon graduation. Fullbright is currently an assistant professor in NMSU's nursing program. She will also continue to practice as a nurse practitioner in women's health. In January, she will transfer into a tenure-track assistant professor position.
"The drive to advance my career was prompted by my desire to increase the impact I was able to have on my profession," Noe said. "This experience in combination with my own academic and professional progress, along with the availability of the program, allowed me to recognize that I could advance my role and my profession through research and applied practice."
Noe began teaching at Dona Ana Community College in 2003 and moved to NMSU in 2008. She currently works as a part-time assistant professor for the NMSU School of Nursing. Noe will also continue to work as a nurse practitioner in adult psychiatric mental health after graduating. Noe has accepted a position as an assistant professor in the graduate program in NMSU's School of Nursing. She would also like to continue working on and publishing research to improve practice for patients who struggle with substance abuse.
"The NMSU School of Nursing is proud to be able to contribute to the group of doctoral prepared nurses practicing in New Mexico," said Pamela Schultz, College of Health and Social Services associate dean and director.
The degree program was created at NMSU to meet the changes in the health environment. According to Schultz, the body that accredits advanced practice nurses said by 2015, nurse practitioners or clinical nurse specialists would not be accredited unless they have a doctorate degree.
"As we prepare to usher in the changes mandated by national health care reform, nurses must be ready at all levels of nursing practice," Fullbright said. "Professional nurses must be life-long learners, meaning they must be open to additional academic training in their careers."

Have You Heard About… You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried
… The Breakfast Club? Or Sixteen Candles? Ever heard of Ferris Bueller? Anyone? Anyone? Chances are, if you've been alive at some point during the last 25 years, you know about these classic John Hughes movies, which is why Susannah Gora's new book, You Couldn't Ignore Me If You Tried is a must-read for anyone who loves 80's pop culture.
In her book, Gora chronicles the history of the 80's teen movie, beginning with John Hughes' Sixteen Candles and ending with Cameron Crowe's Say Anything. But this isn't just a collection of facts from the Brat Pack days – Gora also examines how these movies impacted pop culture, and why they still resonate with viewers today. Even for those of us who didn't experience the 80's first hand, like myself, this book is still extremely interesting and relevant. Give this book a try, and see if it doesn't make you relive your high school glory days!

Degree of Difficulty: 7.
Years ago, keeping Discus was considered arduous, but advances in equipment, greater availability of hardy, captive-raised specimens, and better understanding of the species make keeping Discus easier and more enjoyable than ever before. The hobby still requires a thorough understanding of the mechanics of freshwater aquarium management, and a solid commitment to maintenance, especially water quality. Here is a snapshot of two key Discus-management issues:
Aquarium - Discus can be kept in either a planted or bare-bottom aquarium. Whichever set-up you choose, it needs to be large, at least 11 gallons per adult fish. Because Discus are schooling fish, best kept in groups of at least 4-6, your aquarium will likely need to be at least 50 gallons. For breeding, an adult pair can be kept in a 29-gallon aquarium.
Water & Filtration - In the wild, Discus thrive in some of the rivers of South America where white, black, or clear tributaries combine to form naturally soft, acidic waters. In captivity, Discus require similar conditions - very clean water with pH between 5.0 and 7.0. To maintain these conditions, frequent water changes - at least 25%, twice per week - may be necessary. You must also test your water regularly, especially the pH level, and become confident making adjustments necessary for fish health.
Investment: 8
Because of the relative rarity of excellent specimens and difficulties associated with breeding, Discus are among the most expensive of aquarium fishes. High-quality
Discus, spawned and raised by a handful of select breeders, are harder to find and therefore even more expensive. The cost of a large aquarium equipped with proper
filtration and
heat controls, plus supplementary water quality equipment, makes keeping Discus most appropriate for intermediate and advanced aquarists.
Enjoyment: 10
Because Discus are demanding fish, your first step should be to learn all you can. Read the best books available, and talk to fellow enthusiasts. Two books we recommend are the
Encyclopedia of Exotic Tropical Fishes and Baensch Aquarium Atlas #2. Both will help you learn all you need to know about water quality, nutrition, breeding, and more.
Not all aquarists are destined to be Discus keepers. You must have patience, the desire to learn, the diligence to perform daily maintenance, and the willingness and ability to make a long-term commitment. Yes, keeping Discus is a demanding hobby, but if you are willing to study and meet the needs of these amazing fish, you will be greatly rewarded.

If you love bikes and are a film buff, you just might want to make your way to England as the Free Film Festival and Electric Pedals have teamed up to provide a series of bike-powered outdoor movies. From a cemetery to abandoned movie theaters to a velodrome, the series has something for everyone — at least for those who prefer transportation by two spoked wheels. The movies are presented in places that the stories are about, making the experience all that more inspired.
A free public movie powered by the viewers is a perfect match, and made even more perfect by the context the films are shown. To raise money for saving the 1940s era Herne Hill Velodrome, or bike racing track, the first set of films featured the at-risk Velodrome. The coming of age bike racing film Breaking Away pumped up the audience followed by the primer of the documentary The Best Seat in the World about the Velodrome. Twelve bikes feed a power system that runs the projector and sound, with a few children's sized bikes to help share the load — and they all get a front row seat. Beforehand, folks could take a spin on the newly upgraded track with their own bikes, with hundreds showing up to take the opportunity.
The custom power system Electric Pedals has setup uses DC generators activated by the rear tire. The electricity is used to charge up 12-volt batteries which then feed a DC to AC power inverter. The system can make enough juice to power a large digital or film projector and sound system. Folks have to ride a pretty decent pace to crank the system up, with each bike making roughly 100 watts of electricity. If riders can't keep up the movie goes out so the audience has to take turns for show to go on. Unfortunately, a popcorn machine would require a few dozen or so more riders so the audience will have to bring their own.
The events make for a great quid-quo-pro: a free movie as moviegoers provide the energy and, (apologies for the hammy line) provides pedal power for the people by the people, adding a nice layer of community involvement to the public events.

Taylor Swift Strolls Around NYC, Samples Adorable New Hairstyle
Taylor Swift may have recently visited her stylist! The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer was spotted out on Thursday (July 24) rockin' a new straighter 'do with her bangs poofed a bit -- and it is totally cute!
Swifties everywhere are going to start requesting a new Swift-inspired style, and we don't blame them. Her new hairstyle is a little shorter and very flattering on the 24-year-old. It was first seen in New York City, showing the singer now has full bangs along with the shorter bob.
Swift must be liking the shorter style as of late. She cut it back in February, and although we assumed she might have been growing out the side-swept style, she definitely fooled us. The singer's short style suits her and makes us want to take a trip to the salon and request 'The Swift.'
Like a true fashionista, Swift paired her new 'do with a marled cropped top and a matching pleated skirt, showing off her long stems. She added a pop of color with a bright yellow purse and bubblegum-inspired pink heels. The starlet's look was otherwise pretty black and white, but her accessories were the perfect addition.
Although Swift is now known for a red lipstick look, she traded it in on this day for a more natural soft pink shade. It accentuated the singer's fair skin, and she looked great!

[Above: Euthanasia campaigner Dr. Philip Nitschke is shown with his 'suicide kit' in London May 7, 2009.]
ZURICH - Right-to-die activists hope more countries will allow assisted suicide or euthanasia in coming years as the world population ages, but opponents are determined to stop them, a dispute that flared ahead of competing conferences in Switzerland.
"We have seen over the last 20 years a general migration of positivity towards this being a just cause," Ted Goodwin, the American president of the World Federation of Right-to-Die Societies, told a news conference in Zurich on Tuesday.
Goodwin was speaking as representatives of 55 right-to-die societies from around the world gathered for a three-day congress to mark the 30th anniversary of Exit, a Swiss group which provides lethal drugs to help the terminally ill die.
Assisted suicide has been legal in Switzerland since 1942, if performed by a non-physician who has no direct interest in the death. Euthanasia, or "mercy killing", is legal only in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the US state of Oregon.
Goodwin said the election of Socialist Francois Hollande as French president could help the euthanasia cause in Europe. Hollande has said he favors euthanasia under strict conditions.
"If France falls into line, I believe Germany will also adopt it. That is a game changer in Europe," he said, noting support for reform was also gaining traction in Australia and Massachusetts. "Things are happening slowly but surely."
He said ageing societies meant that half of medical costs are now falling in the last three to six months of life on care that does not change the trajectory of a disease.
The number of Swiss residents who died by assisted suicide rose sevenfold between 1998 and 2009 to almost 300, statistics published for the first time showed in March.
'Burden for society'
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition is organizing an alternative conference on Friday to coincide with the public part of the Right-to-Die gathering in Zurich.
"Together with the increasing cost pressure in the health sector and the increasing loneliness of older people, organized assistance for suicide is a breeding ground which promotes suicide," Roland Graf, a priest who is vice-president for Human Life International Switzerland, told a separate news conference.
"The pressure is growing on people who can no longer give to society what is expected of them. They increasingly feel themselves as a burden for society and their relatives."
A rise in terminally ill foreigners - particularly from Germany, France and Britain - travelling to Switzerland to commit suicide have prompted calls in recent years for the country to tighten its liberal laws.
But in 2010, voters in Zurich overwhelmingly rejected proposed bans on assisted suicide and "suicide tourism", and in 2011, the national government decided against imposing new limits on assisted suicide.
Goodwin said the examples of Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and Oregon had not shown any noteworthy abuse.
"Ours is a mission of compassion, of generosity. We know that no-one is more vulnerable than those who are dying and those dying in pain," he said. "Society can provide protection for vulnerable individuals."
Exit President Saskia Frei said the practice was carefully monitored by the Swiss authorities: "There is no death which is as closely investigated as assisted suicide," she said.
Yet Alex Schadenberg, the executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, pointed to studies from the Netherlands and Belgium which he said showed significant numbers of deaths by euthanasia "without explicit request or consent".
"The problem with euthanasia or assisted suicide is you're giving somebody else the right to be involved in causing your death," he said.
"Society needs to be vigilant about suffering, but the answer is not giving power over life and death to somebody else."

ReleasesBack to
Lee Morgan
Although recorded in 1965, this excellent Lee Morgan Quintet session (which features the trumpeter with altoist Jackie McLean, pianist Larry Willis, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer Billy Higgins) was not released until 1980 and quickly went out of print until this 1998 CD reissue. It deserved a much better fate. The music (four Morgan and one McLean originals), even while being tied to the hard bop tradition, is challenging and (with the exception of the closing uptempo blues "Zip Code") quite tricky; really inspiring the talented players. An underrated gem. ~ Scott Yanow

What are the causes of stool soiling?
Stool soiling, also called encopresis, happens when children who are already toilet trained accidentally leak feces into their underwear. Constipation is often the cause of stool soiling. Usually, the amount of soiling is small and just stains the underwear. In almost all cases, stool soiling is involuntary – your child does not mean to soil his or her pants. If soiling happens often – every day or many times a day – your child may need to be treated for it.
Other causes of stool soiling include:
- Need for more toilet training
- Toilet "phobia" (scared of using the bathroom)
- Irritable bowel syndrome
In very few children stool soiling is caused by disease or birth defects.
How are stool soiling and constipation related?
Constipation may cause painful or incomplete bowel movements. If bowel movements are painful, a child may try to "hold" his or her stools, making constipation worse. In children who have constipation, formed, soft or liquid stools can leak from the anus (the opening to the rectum) around a mass of stool stuck in the lower bowel and cause soiling. This happens because the amount of stool can become so large that it leaks out of the anus, causing soiling. Often, these stools have a very bad smell.
What causes constipation in a child?
Constipation may occur if your child is not eating enough high-fiber foods, drinking enough fluids or getting enough exercise. In many children, a cause for constipation cannot be found. Painful bowel movements may cause a child to begin resisting the urge to have a bowel movement. Not having a bowel movement when the urge occurs can lead to constipation. Your child could be scared of being alone in the bathroom or scared of the toilet. Some children just don't want to stop playing to go to the bathroom.
An illness that leads to poor food intake, physical inactivity or fever can also result in constipation and stool soiling. This problem can remain even after the illness goes away.
Symptoms of Constipation:
- Extreme straining during a bowel movement
- Abdominal pain and bloating
- Crankiness
- Tiredness
- Loss of appetite between bowel movements
- Wetting during the day or night
- Extreme reluctance to use the toilet
Is this just a phase?
It's possible that your child is going through "a phase." Your child may not have the skills yet to use the toilet. But, if your child keeps soiling after about 3 months of being able to use the toilet to urinate, it's probably time for him or her to learn to use the toilet for bowel movements. Your doctor can offer advice.
How should I start toilet training my child for bowel movements?
1. Keep a toilet diary.
Keep a "diary" showing when, where and what kind of bowel movements your child has. It will help you and your doctor see patterns in your child's bathroom habits. Try to keep a toilet diary for at least 1 week before going on to step 2. If your child is in day care, ask the teacher to help you look for patterns in your child's toilet behavior. At the end of this handout there's a sample toilet diary you can print out and use to help you.
2. Teach your child to sit on the toilet.
Play in the bathroom with your child to show him or her that the bathroom is not a bad place. Allow your child to sit on the toilet with pants on for a few minutes at a time. It may be helpful to have a foot stool so your child can rest his or her feet. Allow your child to have his or her favorite books, dolls or small toys during bathroom time.
Read to, play with and talk to your child when you're in the bathroom together. Don't expect–or ask–your child to have a bowel movement on the toilet yet. Remember, he or she is still getting used to the idea of sitting on a toilet. Start with a very short amount of time (about 30 seconds) and slowly work up to 5 minutes. A kitchen timer can be the signal for the end of "bathroom fun." Move to step 3 once your child is sitting on the toilet 3 to 5 times a day, for 5 minutes each time.
3. Make sure your child's bowel movements are soft and well-formed.
It helps if you give your child less dairy food and more high-fiber foods. If your doctor says it's okay, you may be able to give your child fiber supplements for a short time. Ask your family doctor about diet changes.
At first, your child may have more soiling accidents. Have your child help clean up messes, but don't yell or punish your child for soiling. Being angry with your child when he or she soils only makes toilet training harder. Try to stay calm and relaxed when your child soils, so he or she won't feel bad.
4. Have set times for sitting on the toilet.
Once your child is having healthy bowel movements and is used to sitting on the toilet, start having him or her sit on the toilet at regular times during the day. Time the sits to start about 10 to 20 minutes after each meal and during times when your child usually has a bowel movement. You'll be able to tell these times from the toileting diary. Your child should sit on the toilet at least 3 to 5 times per day, for about 5 minutes each time.
5. Reward bowel movements in the toilet.
The first time your child has a bowel movement in the toilet, give him or her a reward. Good rewards are stars on a chart or fun activities. At first, give a reward after every bowel movement in the toilet. Later, give the reward after every few bowel movements. Pretty soon your child will be trained. Then you can stop giving rewards.
Next, teach your child to know when it's time to go to the toilet. Teach your child to tell you, instead of waiting for you to ask. Young children should tell a parent before they use the bathroom, in case they need help.
What is the treatment for stool soiling caused by constipation?
If your child doesn't have a bowel movement for 3 or 4 days in a row, you should call your doctor. He or she will probably want to remove the stool that has collected in the lower bowel. Your doctor can do this in the office by giving your child an enema or a suppository. It is also possible that your doctor may have you give your child high doses of laxatives to remove the stool.
After the stool has been removed, it is important to be sure that your child can have bowel movements easily. Easy bowel movements will help prevent another large collection of stool. Treatment may include changing your child's diet to include more fluids and fiber-rich foods, having your child sit on the toilet several times a day and giving your child laxatives every day to help soften the stools.

The Details:
• Audi Fleet Shuttle Quattro to debut in feature film Ender's Game
• Computer designed Audi in a feature film is a first for the car company
• Concept resembles the one-off Audi RSQ from I, Robot
• Ender's Game featuring Harrison Ford set to come out on November 1, 2013
German automaker Audi is not shy about placing its cars in Hollywood films - most notably in the Iron Man franchise. Recently, the R8 e-Tron appeared in the Iron Man 3 blockbuster alongside character Tony Stark. This November, Audi will steal the spotlight once again in the science fiction film adaptation of the award-winning, best-selling novel Ender's Game. Unveiling a purely virtual Audi in a feature film is a first for the car company.
The futuristic Audi Fleet Shuttle Quattro is the result of the collaborative effort between Audi, the film's director Gavin Hood, and the production team who used the latest technology to digitally integrate the fleet into the film. "The Audi in the movie represents progress and it appears in key scenes that have a lasting impact on the life of the protagonist," explained Florian Zitzlsperger, responsible for Brand Partnerships at AUDI AG. "With this, our Audi becomes a part of this fictional world."
A similar concept was conceived in 2004, when a one-off Audi RSQ appeared in the film I, Robot featuring actor Will Smith. The car featured two doors that opened upwards and twisted slightly like a butterfly's wings, much like the doors of the Fleet Shuttle Quattro. Both concepts are also tied to films with futuristic themes.
The feature film Ender's Game starring Harrison Ford is set to come out in theaters on November 1, 2013.

Being a head basketball coach didn't sound like the job Karen Kemp wanted when she was an All-American player at NAIA school
"When I was in high school and college, my coaches stomped and screamed at the players," she said. "When my college coach asked me why I didn't think I'd be a good head coach, I told her �I don't think I can scream and yell like that."
Because I didn't like it as a player.
"She told me, That's not what's important about coaching. It's just my style. So I decided if I became a coach, I wanted to talk to my players, not scream at them."
She did become a head basketball coach, and after 14 seasons at the helm of the
Kemp has become the Lady Buccaneers' all-time winningest coach (194 victories) and has been at her post longer than all but two of ETSU's other current head coaches � and she's served under seven athletic directors, counting interim ADs.
"I've been through a lot of changes," she said. "But I feel like things are on the right track. I think the athletic department is going in the right direction and there's a lot of support."
It's a long way from her college years at

The program hasn't been a consistent winner. While the Lady Bucs won 21 games Kemp's first season and she was voted league Coach of the Year honors, and the last two seasons they've been 20-12 and 21-12 (plus another Coach of the Year award), she still has a career coaching record that's barely below .500 � 194 wins-205 losses. Another 20-plus-victory season, though, and she could move into winning territory.
"The big difference the last five years has been that we've had more money in the budget to recruit," she said. "That means we can go out and get more good kids."
The Lady Bucs were members of the Southern Conference for many years until a recent switch to the Atlantic Sun Conference. After several near misses at Southern Conference titles, ETSU last year landed its first-ever NCAA tournament berth by winning the A-Sun tournament championship. Kemp even enjoyed the celebratory soaking she got when her players dumped one of the Gatorade coolers on her at the end of the game � even though it ruined her suit.
That championship game, a 75-72 win over
Another thrill was at the NCAA tournament selection party. The team gathered with fans at Fanatics sports bar at the Doubletree Hotel to watch the tournament pairings announcements and find out who the Lady Bucs would play.
They expected to be seeded 16th, which would have paired them against a national powerhouse like
"We were ecstatic about being a 14," Kemp said. "We started looking at
"When game time came, I was really afraid we would throw one up in the stands, we'd be so shell-shocked. But the girls didn't do that. They really played well.
Even though we lost, it was great for us and great for our program."
"Winning our league tournament was great, but to me that makes you hungrier. We made history for our school, but as they say, that is history now. We want to get back and not just get there to the NCAA but get there and win."
Kemp's players have found even greater success off the court � in the classroom.
"Every player who's completed their four years here, they've graduated," she said. "I'm proud of winning games and for the kids when they win awards, but I'm proudest of them when they walk across that stage with their diploma."
"My goal is to prepare them to be great citizens when they leave here, to make them much more prepared for life after basketball. Fortunately for me, we've been able to recruit good students, good athletes and good people."
Coaching satisfies Kemp's competitive nature, she said, and her love of interacting with the players and their families � "I love to talk; most coaches do," she says � as well as her innate desire to prepare the team for each season and each game.
Outside basketball, Kemp has often found herself watching her own children play sports. She and her husband, Eddie Gregory, have two children, Marcus, 16, and LaKeisha, 11. One of the most difficult aspects of her decision to come to ETSU was the fact that her parents and siblings are still in
She was born in
But when she first arrived here, she found
"This place was kind of like my hometown," she said. "We were in the foothills of
"If you'd have asked me 14 years ago if I'd still be here, I would've said �No way.' But everything has been really positive. It feels like home now. I thought after four or five years I'd move on, but there's been no reason to move on."
Has her coaching style changed over the years to accommodate some yelling and screaming at her players?
Not really.
"They know if I get upset and really yell at them, it's serious," she said. "They know I mean it."

Heart It Or Hate It: TLC Re-Record Iconic 'Waterfalls' Track With Namie Amuro
Nigel Campbell | June 14, 2013
We're still trying to gather ourselves, so apologies, if this doesn't come out as anything resembling English.
TLC has re-recorded their iconic 20-year-old track "Waterfalls" and they've replaced Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes with Japanese pop star, Namie Amuro.
We can't breathe. We're visibly shaken.
TLC is scheduled to receive an MTV Legend Award from MTV Japan next week, so perhaps this move was strictly in response to that.
In either case, we're gonna need a moment--or a lot of moments--to recover. (And just to clarify, T-Boz and Chilli sound as good as ever!)
Heart it or hate it?

CEO Tim Cook reportedly held an all-hands Town Hall meeting last week to address the state of the Apple with employees. Subjects covered were said to include employee perks, production from supply chain to sales, the retail stores, the competitive landscape with Google's Android, and opportunities in China. 9to5Mac's ace reported, Mark Gurman, has a full rundown. Here's a highlight from the competitive part:
Cook discussed iOS's integrated, reliable experience versus Android's fragmentation with a plethora of devices. [..] Cook also noted that Android is about marketshare with its range of devices and low pricing, while iPhone and iPad products are about experience, top hardware and software quality, and, most importantly, actual usage by customers.
No phone hardware, software, or service is perfect. Android's choice of devices is a huge selling point for some, a huge pain point for others. Google's been iterating Android at a fairly brisk pace and while things iOS users don't like about it, including how interface works, are still issues, it's not safe to assume that'll always be the case.
That's why Apple's strategy for beating Android can't rely on poor user experience from Google. It has to rely on better software and services from Apple. Otherwise it's outside Apple's control. Based on how much passion Cook expresses when he discusses everything from the stairs at an Apple Store to the unibody on MacBook to the way they build the iPad mini, he knows that better than anyone. They just have to continually execute on it.
Go read the full recap.

The Lenox Park Professional Buildings A and B at 3175 Lenox Park Drive and 6625 Lenox Park Drive have sold for a combined $6.1 million following a foreclosure.
The buyer was 6625 Lenox Park Boulevard Holdings LLC, an affiliate of Bethesda, Md.-based special servicer CWCapital Asset Management LLC, which acquired the properties in an April 24 deed from substitute trustee R. Spencer Clift III, shareholder with Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz PC.
Each Class A building – 3175 Lenox Park Drive and 6625 Lenox Park Drive – is four stories with more than 100,000 square feet.
Built in 1996, 3175 Lenox Park sits on 7.8 acres on the northeast corner of Lenox Park Drive and Kirby Road; the Shelby County Assessor's 2013 appraisal was $7.1 million. And 6625 Lenox Park, built a year later, sits on 6.7 acres east of Kirby between Lenox Park Drive to the north and Knight Arnold Road Extended to the south. Its 2013 appraisal was $7.3 million.
The buildings' owners entered foreclosure after defaulting on a 2007 loan for $17.3 million.
Seven LLCs – NNN Lenox Park, NNN Lenox Park 1, NNN Lenox Park 2, NNN Lenox Park 3, NNN Lenox Park 4, NNN Lenox Park 5 and NNN Lenox Park 6 – obtained the $17.3 million loan through LaSalle Bank in January 2007. A portion of the loan was later assumed by 23 tenants-in-common borrowers.
Lenox Park, which includes seven buildings and vacant land, was bought by a subsidiary of California-based NNN Realty Advisors Inc. for $90.5 million in January 2007.

The first two days of early voting at 20 satellite sites across Shelby County last week showed a spike in voter turnout for the May 6 Shelby County primary elections.
The early vote turnout numbers from the Shelby County Election Commission, which include absentee voting, shows 5,891 ballots cast in advance of the May 6 election day.
The first day of early voting at all 21 early voting locations across the county, including the Downtown location, was the highest turnout day so far in the early voting period with 2,600 early voters, or almost half of the total for the whole period so far.
So far, 70.7 percent of the early voters have been voting in the Democratic primary elections, with the rest voting in the Republican primaries. There are no general election races on the May ballot.
The last day of the early voting period is Thursday, May 1.

The Tennessee Supreme Court's Access to Justice Commission says the number of hours Tennessee attorneys are devoting to free and reduced-rate legal services for the poor has increased dramatically.
According to the commission, 42 percent of the state's 21,645 attorneys reported participating in pro bono activity in 2013. In 2010, only 18 percent of attorneys reported pro bono work. Reporting of pro bono services is not required, but it is encouraged.
The attorneys in 2013 reported an average of 73 hours of pro bono work each, well over the 50-hour aspirational goal set by the Tennessee Supreme Court.
Getting more attorneys to do pro bono work has been one of the goals of the Access to Justice Commission, which tries to address the unmet legal needs of the state's poor.

More Americans signed contracts to buy homes in March, the first increase since June and a sign that the housing market might pick up after a sluggish start to the year.
The National Association of Realtors said Monday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 3.4 percent to 97.4 last month. Still, the index remains 7.9 percent below its level a year ago.
Pending sales are a barometer of future purchases: A one- to two-month lag usually exists between a signed contract and a completed sale.
The gain partly reflects a recovery from the harsh winter. Snowstorms and freezing temperatures kept many potential buyers away from open houses in January and February.
A limited supply of available homes has pushed up prices in the past year even as sales have slowed. That's likely discouraged many buyers and caused sales of existing homes to steadily decline since last summer.
Still, the rise in pending sales means that home sales could rebound during the spring buying season. It comes after two dismal sales reports last week suggested that sales and construction would increase only modestly this year.
Sales of existing homes fell in March to their lowest level since July 2012, the Realtors said last week. It was the seventh drop in eight months. The drop, though, was small, and many economists said it showed that existing-home sales had likely bottomed out.
At the same time, fewer Americans are applying for mortgages, a sign of weaker demand. The Mortgage Bankers Association's mortgage applications index fell 3 percent last week from the previous week.
And sales of new homes plunged 14.5 percent in March to the slowest pace in eight months, according to a government report last week. A jump in prices contributed to the decline.
Higher mortgage rates have also weighed on sales. Rates are about a percentage point higher than they were a year ago.
A new report shows Tennessee is on pace to meet a goal of a 90 percent high school graduation rate by the Class of 2020.
The report released Monday by the education advocacy group America's Promise Alliance shows the state increased its graduation rate 17 percentage points from 2003 to 2010, and has continued to make progress with a graduation rate of 87 percent in 2012.
American's Promise set the 90 percent goal for the nation in 2010.
The report also highlights Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam's free tuition plan at two-year colleges, saying other states should note Tennessee's efforts to increase access to college- and career programs and consider similar legislation.
Under Haslam's plan that passed during the recent legislative session, any high school graduate will be able to attend a two-year college free of tuition.
Nine candidates have applied to fill an upcoming vacancy on the Court of Criminal Appeals caused by the Judge Jerry Smith's decision to leave the bench in August.
The applicants include two public defenders, two judges, two attorneys in private practice, a prosecutor, a claims commissioner and an attorney for the state Legislature.
The Governor's Commission for Judicial Appointments is scheduled to interview the applicants that the Legislative Plaza in Nashville on May 13. The panel will then select three finalists for Republican Gov. Bill Haslam to choose from.
The commission is also accepting applications to fill a vacancy on the Court of Appeals created by Haslam's appointment of Judge Holly Kirby to the state Supreme Court. The deadline to apply is Wednesday.

Three Tampa Bay Picks Invited to Canada's WJC Camp
Three Lightning draft picks - tied for the second most of any NHL team after the New York Islanders - are listed on Hockey Canada's invitation list for Canada's World Junior Championship Team Development Camp July 25-29 in Ottawa. The 2009 WJCs will be begin December 28 in Ottawa.
Representing the Lightning will be WJC gold medal holder and 2008 first round pick Steven Stamkos, 2007 second rounder Dana Tyrell, and 2008 fifth rounder and reigning Memorial Cup MVP, goaltender Dustin Tokarski.
If Stamkos makes the Lightning as expected, it is highly unlikely he'll participate in the tournament - which he should be a lock to make. Tyrell represented Canada in the Summit Series last summer, but did not end up on Canada's WJC club last winter. He should be considered a favorite to make the team because of his combination of work ethic, skill, and the fact he can play a variety of positions and roles. Finally, Tokarski is one of four goalies (three from the WHL) in camp. He joins Nashville first rounder (2008) Chet Pickard, St. Louis second rounder (2008) Jake Allen, and San Jose seventh rounder (2007) Tyson Sexsmith.
The New York Islanders have the most representatives in the 45-player camp with 5.

To those unfamiliar with lake ecology, a fish does not seem like the kind of thing that could endanger the Great Lakes; however, Asian Carp are doing just that. The set of species known collectively as Asian Carp were brought to North America in the 1970s for aquacultural and sewage treatment purposes. As with many such experiments, the introduction did not go according to plan. Since introduction, Asian Carp have spread the entire length of the Mississippi River, to a number of its tributaries, and now threaten to take hold in the Great Lakes. In 2007, the species were declared invasive by the United States Department of the Interior and are now being monitored by other United States and Canadian agencies.
The two primary aspects that make Asian Carp so dangerous to their non-native ecosystems are their mobility and diet. The Asian Carp's ability to leap out of the water give them a distinct advantage when it comes to expanding territory. This ability allows them to not only leap over natural barriers, but also man-made ones. In 2010, Asian Carp penetrated an underwater electric fence that was put in place to keep them from spreading from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River. They have also injured recreational boaters as flying fish collide with passengers on fast boats.
Without their appetite, the spread of these fish would not be of such great concern. Asian carp are veracious eaters, and their food of choice are the plankton that are at the base of the food chain. Asian Carp can grow to be 80 to 100 pounds and consume 40 percent of their body weight each day. This, in turn, is harmful to less aggressive native species, namely smaller fish and the young of larger fish.
Luckily, biologist report that most invasive species fail to take hold. We may be at an advantage against the Asian Carp since they have been detected before establishing a reproducing population. While not completely successful, the electric barrier between the Mississippi River and Lake Michigan has contributed significantly to their containment. Those who enjoy fishing are being encouraged to focus their efforts on Asian Carp. The fish are reported to have a good taste and produce a substantial amount of meat. Food and Water Watch, which as traditionally been very critical of the fishing industry, also backs focusing on the Asian Carp as a food source.

Wind industry advocates are urging Texas legislators to support rural economic development and energy generation by opposing amendments that would reduce incentives for wind energy when they vote this week to renew the Texas Economic Development Act (H.B.3390).
Also known as Chapter 313 because of its placement in the Texas Tax Code, the act is one of the most important economic development tools ever devised by the Texas legislature, says the Wind Coalition, a regional partners of the American Wind Energy Association.
The coalition also urges lawmakers to adopt amendments that will count all jobs created under the program. The current iteration of the statute does not count all of the jobs that new wind developments produce. If all jobs count, let's count all of the jobs. Texas needs Chapter 313 to remain competitive with Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska – all of which have enacted incentives to attract investment.
Wind energy is now a key part of the energy mix in Texas, providing more than 9.2% of the state's electric supply. As a hedge against the volatility of fuel prices, wind energy helps guarantee that consumers, businesses and manufacturers have long-term access to reliable, affordable, water-free, zero-emission energy.
Under Chapter 313, Texas has attracted more than $24 billion in wind energy investments, which deliver job creation, affordable power, landowner opportunities, revenue for schools and rural economic development, the Wind Coalition notes.

Welcome to the 1980s. From the decade of big hair, excess and pastel suits comes a story of one man's rise to the top of the criminal pile. Vice City is a huge urban sprawl ranging from the beach to the swamps and the glitz to the ghetto, and is the most varied, complete and alive digital city ever created. Combining non-linear gameplay with a character driven narrative, you arrive in a town brimming with delights and degradation and are given the opportunity to take it over as you choose.

Well, with this post we've reached the end of Album 2. There's no magic clue that reveals the album's past in these last few photos, but every little tidbit helps and I still have steps I can take to try and track down the family to whom this album belongs. Before we do that though, here are the last photos:
I'm not sure if the photo above is supposed to be of the woman in the background hanging her laundry (she does appear to realize that her photo is being taken) or of the contraption in the foreground…
There is some interesting information printed on the back:
This photo was printed on Kodak Velo (or Velox) Paper according to the stamp on the back. I found this information on Velox prints, which helps to date the photo.
We're back at a dam (I think) in the next photo:
Love the vehicles in the image above. I don't see a sign identifying this location, unfortunately. Anyone recognize it?
The guy pictured above looks pretty young — what do you think, is this a high school portrait?
Glue spots foil us in discovering more:
There was something written/stamped on the back, but it's obscured now by glue and paper from where it was adhered to an album page. Bah.
Photo 63 is a blast from the past:
That's our star at a much earlier age in a photo that has the same coding as used on most photos in Album 1. Check out the dude snoozing on the hammock in the background. He inspired the inscription on the back:
It simply says "Wake up." I'll get into my reasons why in a future post, but I'm 90% positive that the S in the above code stands for Shippensburg.
Here is the final photo of the album, which also appears to be much older than the rest of the photos in Album 2:
This photo has Shippensburg written on the front and another notation on the back:
It's perplexing that there are four people pictured in the photo, but only two identified on the back. Or are those the names of the folks to whom the photo was given? I'm having trouble reading the first name, but the second one appears to be Viola. I don't recognize any of the kids in this photo from other images in either album.
Stay tuned for future posts where I try to divine further information from what we've seen so far. This ain't over yet!

Marchfirst, Inc.,
ORDER INSTITUTING PROCEEDINGS, MAKING FINDINGS, AND REVOKING REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(j) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act provides as follows:
The Commission is authorized, by order, as it deems necessary or appropriate for the protection of investors to deny, to suspend the effective date of, to suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months, or to revoke the registration of a security, if the Commission finds, on the record after notice and opportunity for hearing, that the issuer of such security has failed to comply with any provision of this title or the rules and regulations thereunder.

In view of the foregoing, the Commission finds that it is necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to impose the sanction specified in Respondent's Offer.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act, that registration of each class of Respondent's securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act be, and hereby is, revoked.

Isaac heads over to Oakland where Pete Glover puts on a show of found objects at the Rowan Morrison Gallery.
Rowan Morrison Gallery, Oakland
The R.W.G. is a spot I've always wanted to check out, but never got it together enough to actually make the visit. Call it lameitude or spam on the brain, whatever the reason I was over due. The show they put together was done by one of the owners, Mr. Pete Glover. Pete works at the East Bay Depot for Creative Reuse in Berkeley. It's a place almost beyond description. People donate things, all sorts of wonderful and obscure things like the tiny musical devices that are found in stuffed animals that emit kitty cat cries and the terrifying scream of Godzilla. They have old photos, tiny mousetraps, toys, corks, and hundreds of various office products and debris of the analogue. From this chaos, the Junk Pirate was fueled and the culminating result is what hangs on the walls. A compendium book of the first 10 issues of the Junk Pirate zine added a different perspective from what hung on the walls. All I can say about the book is it really made me think how much junk this country has produced and of the ability of the human being to take it and create something completely different and interesting. Nice one, Pete.
