Worrying about Japan's radiation reaching Eastside should be last on your to-do list
Mammoth knows more about natural radiation than almost any other place in the country.
We sit atop radioactive rock, we ski so high that we are exposed to 70 percent more radiation than people living at sea level.
But calls are still coming into the county health department, people worrying about radiation coming across the ocean on a plume, in the water, through our food.
The bottom line, according to Dr. Rick Johnson, the county's public health officer, is not only are fears about Japan's radiation reaching us in large enough doses to be dangerous over-rated (barring any massive, new problems with the reactors), the true danger here is the one we already live with and many do far too little about – the brilliant, high-country sun.
"What Eastside residents really have to worry about, and many don't, is the natural radiation from the sun," Johnson said.
Yes, the sun. Mammoth had the highest UV readings in the country when solar radiation measurements were taken in a 2003 study, according to a recent New York Times article.
"Scientists studying sun safety took multiple readings of ultraviolet radiation at 32 high-altitude ski areas in western North America," the December 2010 article states.
The readings were taken in March 2003.
"Readings were generally highest in high-altitude resorts in Arizona and New Mexico, but the highest UV rating – 10 UV index units – was taken at Mammoth Mountain in California.
"That rating is "just as intense as being smack-dab in the middle of the sun at Jones Beach (New York) in June," says Peter A. Andersen, a professor of health communications at San Diego State University."
Andersen, whose work focuses on skin cancer research, spoke to the Mammoth Times Thursday and detailed why the UV rays here in Mammoth are so comparatively high.
"Number one, it's your relatively high altitude, compared to other resorts," he said.
"This reading was taken at the top of Dave's Run, above 10,000 feet (Dave's Run starts at 11, 053 feet).
For every 1,000 feet of elevation, you get another six percent to eight percent increase in UV exposure, so you have 70 percent more UV exposure here than you would at sea level."
"Second, it's because Mammoth Lakes is so far south, relative to the other ski resorts (the farther south in altitude until the equator, the more direct the sun's rays are, with the rays being the most direct at the equator)."
The third factor is the clean air in Mammoth.
"Mammoth's air is very clean, due to the lack of humidity and because there is so much clean air blown in off the Pacific," Andersen said.
He noted the irony that pollution actually protects from skin cancer, due to the particulates in the air, while at the same time, increasing lung cancer.
Another factor Andersen noted is the fact that Mammoth gets so much snow, and is relatively free of tree cover. Those two facts also increase exposure to the sun.
Andersen said the study also revealed something disturbing. While skin cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, by wearing sunscreen and avoiding direct sun, only about 50 percent of the people in the study did it.
But it was worse two decades ago.
"In the 90s, it was only 23 percent," he said.
The study also showed that more people took proper precautions regarding the sun on warmer days, thinking there is a correlation between warmth and sun exposure.
There isn't, except insofar as the fact that later in the year, the sun's rays are more direct and direct light is usually warmer light.
The danger comes not from the heat, but the direct nature of the light.
So, a cold, sunny day in the middle of January with less direct light than spring, but at high elevations and on a mountain completely covered in snow requires sunscreen just as much as a hot day in March, he said.
Even a cloudy day on Mammoth Mountain is dangerous.
"It's a case that less sun is always better," Andersen, who has already battled skin cancer several times, said.
And there's more.
Eastern Sierra residents are also more exposed to another source of naturally occurring radiation, the gases from uranium-bearing granite rocks, which occur here in larger amounts than almost anywhere else in the country.
Granite is the backbone of most of the High Sierra peaks outside your window and granite contains uranium, which, as it decays over time, gives off a gas called radon.
"Southern Mono County and northern Inyo County are well known areas for radon gas seepage," Dr. Johnson said.
Radon is not the sexy, high profile kind of radiation you hear about on the evening news, but it can be a real issue for local residents, as it gets trapped in garages and basements and under homes.
A simple, cheap test from the health department can test your home for radon gas, although the cost of fixing the problem can be significantly more expensive.
But all that said, is the Eastside really that dangerous, due to radiation?
No, says Dr. Johnson.
"About 17 percent of the naturally occurring radiation we are exposed to comes from the sun," said Johnson.
"Twenty percent comes from the earth's crust (radon, etc.). Another 13 percent comes from the food we eat, fruits and vegetables, which concentrate radiation."
The rest is in water.
"This might all sound frightening," Johnson said, "but even with Mammoth's increased risks due to the sun, it's nothing compared to the man-made sources of radiation that more and more people expose themselves to: CT scans, even smoking."
A CT scan exposes you to 100 times as much radiation as a chest X-ray.
(With cigarettes, the radiation from the chemicals in the cigarettes is concentrated in the smoke, making smoking even more dangerous than many believe, he said.)
All these things and more, including riding in an airplane, expose residents to far more radiation than experts believe could be released from Japan's ailing reactors and reach this country.
So, what is worth worrying about, and what can you do about it?
"Sure Mammoth residents, by choosing to live here, expose themselves to two or three times the amount of solar radiation than other people would," Johnson said.
"But it's still not very much, given the low percentage of natural radiation that comes from the sun overall. And, it can be mitigated, with sunscreen and staying out of the sun."
So while more than half of all cancers are skin cancer (according to Andersen) skin cancer is also very easy to prevent.
It's far more dangerous to do the things we do every day: drive to work, cross the street, smoke, eat too much. Those are the four biggest killers of Americans, Johnson said.
Worth some thought, don't you think?

ECHL Playoffs Start Monday
Submitted by pete on April 8, 2007 - 13:13
There will be little time for the Johnstown Chiefs to celebrate as the ECHL has announced their first round playoff schedule. The Chiefs travel to Trenton to take on the Titans in Game One of their abbreviated playoff series at 7 pm. The match will be the first of three games in four nights as Tuesday night the Chiefs will face Trenton at home at 7 pm before going back on the road to Trenton for a potential deciding Game Three matchup, if needed, Thursday night at 7 pm.
Hard to say for sure, but I would guess Coach Frank Anzalone will rotate the goaltenders: Ryan Munce in Game One, Morgan Cey in Game Two and then perhaps back to Munce for Game Three. All subject to change, of course.

|Foggy Switchbacks
A little detour on the way back from Black Mountain led me to Books & Beans, a used books shop planted on the side of a mountain near the Blue Ridge Parkway.
By "little detour," I mean the kind with gear changes (I drive an automatic). I drove up the mountain in the kind of fog and threatening rain that obscures the view, as well as the dropoffs. But who could look at the view when 90-degree and sometimes 180-degree turns hide behind the next piece of cloud?
The fog reminded me that two times this weekend I'd heard someone say: "I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future."
Suddenly I had to turn a sharp corner and a building loomed up on my left. "I'm here!" I said, recognizing the building that houses a restaurant, general store and Books & Beans.
I went straight home from Black Mountain last year, so I hadn't been to Little Switzerland since 2010. This was my first visit since I became a bookseller, which gives me a different focus. Moira, manager and coffee barista, was very nice, and we chatted about some of the changes since new owners came in about two years ago.
Ian Fleming, Irish vintage fiction, slave-trade history, and a few auction catalogs made their way into my stack of finds.
I've never left Little Switzerland empty-handed, but the trip would be worth it just to have lunch at the frou-frou restaurant on the corner, the Switzerland Cafe.
I walked next door and ordered the smoked trout (although the menu boasted a smoked portabello sandwich, very tempting!). The trout, with capers and sauce, tastes so good, but they gave me the whole fish — I didn't expect my lunch to be looking back at me!
Have knife, will eat.

A convenient seven kilometres away from the highway,this homestay can be reached after manoeuvring a beautiful stretch of tea-gardens between Kalpetta and Sulthan Bathery. It sits at the edge of the Karapuzha Dam, giving it an exotic backyard and a great view from every room. The name is coined only after the mist that hangs above the area most of the year. Having been an hotelier himself, it was a natural extension of his job that Abhishek started this homestay with his parents about an year ago. With warm hospitality of a home and all comforts of a hotel, this homestay is a perfect blend of modernity in the middle of wilderness. The sprawling manicured green lawn is spread in front of the house with betel nut trees extending till the end of the property. The property being extremely clean and comfortable, with amenities like a TV and a kettle in every room.,there is also a treadmill in the house for those who donât want to let go of a strict fitness regime on a holiday. There is also a vegetable garden for fresh produce. The food can be served in a separate dining area or better still in the garden to enjoy the lovely view. Though dog lovers themselves, the family does not allow pets. This is to avoid any pet conflict with their own eleven year old Labrador, Steffi.Read more

Inspector: Mr Burns I haven't seen so many violations in one plant...
Burns: Oh look some thoughtless indivicual has left thousands and thousands of dollars on this table. Come Smithers lets leave and when we come back hopefully the huge pile of money will be gone *leaves and comes back, money still on table*
Inspector: Mr. Burns I think you're trying to bribe me.
Burns: What's there to think about?! Take it you fool, take it!
Burns: Oh course we wouldn't dream of going on the island without the bait uh that is the bait...thing...beauty the bathing beauty. Yes I covered that up pretty well.
Homer: Well I always believed in the three "R"s Writing TV guide, reading TV guide, and renewing TV guide.
(when Bart was a baby)
Homer: Got your nose.
Bart: Got your wallet.
Bart: If it makes you feel better I think when you die you can come back as anything you want. I'd be a butterfly
Lisa: Why?
Bart: Because no one ever suspects the butterfly MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kang: Run, he has a board with a nail in it!
Homer: You heard me I won't be in for the rest of the week......I told you my baby beat me up.....oh that is not the worst excuse I ever thought of.
Homer: Remember when I got caught stealing all those watches from Sears? Well that's nothing cause you have a gambling problem. And remember when I let that escaped criminal in our house cause he was dressed like Santa? Well that's nothing cause you have a gambling problem.

It won't come as news that reports about Michael Jackson's death have dominated both traditional media and social media outlets like Twitter – representing at least 30 percent of all tweets at one point, Mashable estimated.
One Twitterer, posting under the name "starvingafricanchild," hasn't received anywhere near the attention of folks writing about the late King of Pop, but is relying on shock value to generate buzz. Among the tweets, purportedly direct from the Sudan: "belly. distending," "really, really hungry," and "could eat a horse."
The anonymous account holder, as noted by TechCrunch, sees the short posts as "social commentary illuminating the startling gap between the haves and the have nots."
But will it play as a strong commentary on our times or as just a sick joke?
Recent events – ranging from unrest in Iran to Jackson's death – have highlighted Twitter's multiphrenic nature in subjects as well as its power as an all-purpose information dissemination tool, fueled by brevity and speed. We've also seen the pitfalls: false rumors of other celebrity deaths ran rampant through the microblogging service the day Jackson died.
It's heartening, in a sense, that news from Iran, driven by the murder of Neda Agha-Soltan, is still among the leading points of discussion on Twitter – "trending topics" in Twitter-speak – even as the Jackson outpouring doesn't appear to be abating much.
Starvingafricanchild, meanwhile, has about 350 followers on Twitter as of this writing – a far cry from the more than 1.1 million commanded by online gossip columnist Perez Hilton, whose initially callous take on reports that Jackson had been rushed to the hospital spurred a Twitter-based movement to strip him of followers. Hilton briefly made big Twitter news just days before Jackson's death after tweeting reports he had been assaulted, allegedly by the manager of the Black Eyed Peas.
In the end, it probably doesn't matter what the intentions of the person behind starvingafricanchild are or how the tweets come off if the posts somehow help bring more attention to the horrors plaguing the Sudan – a topic, incidentally, that apparently was of interest to Jackson.
In a memorial piece for Time magazine, spiritual guru Deepka Chopra wrote of having wide-ranging conversations with Jackson.
"He'd ask me, Why do people go to war? Why is there genocide? What's happening in Sudan? … We talked about starving children in Mumbai, and he would start to cry," Chopra wrote. "In his mind, the world was psychotic."

"Who are the Hare Krishnas and what do they believe?"
The origin of the Hare Krishnas (International Society for Krishna Consciousness or ISKON) dates back to the fifteenth century (1486), when Chaitanya Mahaprabhu first taught that Krishna was the supreme Lord above every other god. Mahaprabhu advocated a devotional method of faith where adherents to Krishna entered into a relationship with Krishna expressing adoration to Krishna through dancing and chanting. His public displays of adoration earned a large following, in part, due to its sharp contrast with dispassionate and ascetic expressions which common to Hinduism. This Hindu sect however distinct it is in its unique adherence to Krishna , is still quite Hindu since even Krishna is but a manifestation (or "Avatar") of Vishnu—one of the classic deities of Hinduism. Moreover, Hare Krishnas retain the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu Scripture, as well as the doctrines of Reincarnation and Karma. The ultimate goal for Hare Krishnas however is a transcendental loving relationship with Lord Krishna. "Hare" itself refers to "the pleasure potency of Krishna," similar to the Christian idea of man's highest goal being to worship God and enjoy Him forever. Some Christian overtones should be obvious at this point, even though the ISKON is a distinctly Hindu cult. Due to the mystical "devotion" expressed in chanting and dancing, the Hare Krishnas can be compared to Sufi Muslims ("Whirling Dervishes") and some mystical expressions of Christianity which emphasize ecstatic experiences and mystical transcendence.
In 1965, The Hare Krishna movement came to America by means of Abhay Charan De Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, an aged Indian exponent of the worship of Krishna. The Swami forsook the world in 1959 at the age of 63 to be a guru in total devotion to Krishna. At the age of 70 he traveled to New York to popularize his views. The Hare Krishna movement sprouted quickly in the ready soil of the 60's. Western values were being questioned and Eastern thought was becoming fashionable. The larger culture of the United States was shifting to a new religious paradigm of which ISKON was another player. A tireless evangelist, the Swami founded ISKON and remained its leader until his death in 1977. The ISKON is a wealthy organization today, having gained its wealth largely through soliciting funds and distributing its lavishly illustrated literature, including the Bhagavad-Gita and its periodical Back to Godhead. During the 1960s and 1970s, Hare Krishnas were so prevalent in public places such as airports that laws had to be passed to prevent them from accosting people with their often aggressive and intimidating requests for money.
The ISKON is quite demanding of its adherents. Becoming a member involves choosing a guru and becoming a disciple to him. This guru is so critical that it is said, "without [the Guru] the cultivation of Krishna consciousness is impossible. From the devotee's side, initiation means that he accepts the guru as his spiritual master and aggress to worship him as God." (Ron Rhodes, The Challenge of the Cults and New Religions 2001, pg. 176). And the whole of one's life is to be encompassed by Krishna centered practice and devotion. As such, ISKON pulls its members into commune-type settings where all discussion and life is deliberately centered around Krishna. Very intricate rules are established in these communities to make sure that all activity is Krishna centered. Much of Indian/Hindu culture is imported into these communes. It must be noted that these communities have been questioned by ex-members and outsiders alike alleging illegal and immoral practices within the safety of their relative isolation. The ISKON has been accused of great evils in this regard even though such allegations, were they true, should not be hastily attributed to ISKON doctrine specifically but rather to the practices of some Hare Krishnas. A similar example could be made, for Christians, with the moral downfall of certain Christian Leaders and Televangelists.
The beliefs of the Krishnas are typically Hindu and are largely incompatible with biblical Christianity. First, the view of God is basically pantheistic, meaning that they believe God is all. For Hare Krishnas, God is everything and everything is God. For the Christian, God is transcendent – He is above all that He created. One of the tenets of ISKON thought is that we actually achieve relational unity with God ourselves. Christians can relate somewhat to this idea since Bhakti Hinduism, to which ISKON subscribes, is nearly theistic in its view of God and admittedly teaches that man can enter into a loving relationship with God. The Hare Krishna however is a little blurry on how relational this ultimate goal actually is. The goal of the Hare Krishna is to reach a "Krishna consciousness," a kind of enlightenment. This is the deepest identification with Krishna. In so far as ISKON is truly Hindu, it can ascribe to a Pantheist view of God and therefore teach that man is ultimately identical to God. The Christian may recognize in these words a faint and deceptive whisper dating back to the Garden of Eden, "you will be as God" (Genesis 3:5).
Like many false religions, salvation for the Hare Krishna reduces to a series of works. Yes, devotion and relationship are packed into their belief system. But these are built up from works. And, in practice there remains a push to chant more, dance more, and always work harder lest one retain some bit of karmic debt and fail to enter into Krishna Consciousness. Self-denial and sacrifice are also crucial for salvation in ISKON. Salvation for the Hare Krishna is thoroughly entwined with the Hindu concept of karma, or retributive justice. This teaching requires belief in reincarnation and/or transmigration of the soul. One's works, good and bad, are measured and judged either for or against him. He continues to be reincarnated into higher life forms if his deeds are good, or lower life forms if his deeds are bad. It is only when his good deeds have counterbalanced his bad deeds that he can cease the cycles of rebirth and realize his oneness with Krishna.
How different this is from the compassionate and merciful God of the Bible who "so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). The Bible is clear that salvation is by grace through faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9) who bore our sin on the cross so that we could bear His righteousness. "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21). No amount of good deeds can ever achieve salvation for anyone. And even where Hare Krishnas rightly assert that a loving relationship is necessary for Salvation, Krishna is still the wrong object of devotion. Hare Krishnas, like all humanity, have only one hope for eternal life: Jesus Christ, crucified, resurrected and exalted forever. All other paths , we regret to say, lead to destruction. Jesus Himself said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by Me " (John 14:6) for "there is salvation in no other One; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

Why do we care about science education? Because it is impossible to have extraordinary science without extraordinary scientists and a public eager to understand and gain from their work, says our Head of Education and Learning, Hilary Leevers.
I joined the Wellcome Trust last year and, despite an awful lot of background reading, it wasn't until I worked here that I realised just how much the Trust does to support and improve education and learning. The showreel above gives just a taster of many of the different elements of that work.
Championing the development of highly skilled and valued teachers is a major strategic priority for us. The ways in which our work supports this priority illustrates the different approaches that we take to our work.
We know that teachers are at the heart of a good education, a point reinforced by the results of the Wellcome Trust Monitor. Around half the young people surveyed said that having a good teacher had encouraged them to learn science, but half also identified a bad teacher as something that had put them off.
We have commissioned further research to better understand how to support teachers throughout their careers and across all stages of education.
For instance, one of our recent reports highlighted the variability in the science content of initial teacher training, while another identified the key concerns of primary school science teachers.
We use these findings to develop recommendations for improvements, testing them as much as possible, and working with like-minded organisations and the Government to achieve them.
As an independent funding body, we're also able to directly support improvements. Hence, the Trust funded the foundation and building of the National Science Learning Centre in York, enabling the professional development of science teachers and technicians throughout the UK. And, recognising there's more to it than 'if you build it, they will come', welater teamed up with the Government and industry partners to form Project ENTHUSE, which provides bursaries for the course fees and associated costs needed to get the training to the teachers who need it.
We also support teachers by providing high-quality resources on the latest science. This sometimes takes the form of major initiatives, such as In the Zone, which will see us sending an investigative experimental kit inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to every school and further education college in the UK. But we also fund innovative and exciting education projects through our Public Engagement Awards.
We don't do that in isolation though. We work with local Camden schools around our headquarters, partly as a way of investing in our community, but also because these relationships help us to ground our work.
Education, like science, is an area that's ever changing and we're doing our utmost to keep up with the latest issues and innovations. Our Education Strategy for 2010-20 identifies three focus areas: primary science, informal learning and the interface between neuroscience and education. We have a relatively good understanding of the first, having, among other things, supported whole school improvement through the Primary Science Quality Mark. And we are planning further work to lift the subject expertise of primary science coordinators.
Our work on informal learning concerns the science learning that occurs outside of schools and other traditional education contexts. We have commissioned two reviews to better understand current practice and opportunities. We've just started developingour work on neuroscience and education, which promises to be a fascinating area.
Please do get in touch if you have any comments about what we've done or what you think that we should be doing. You can contact us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Wellcome Trust has a long-standing enthusiasm and commitment to excellent science education for all. This is because it is impossible to have extraordinary science without extraordinary scientists and a public eager to understand and gain from their work.
The future of science depends on the quality of science education today.

She joins returning host Nick Lachey and judges Shawn Stockman and Ben Folds
Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jewel is joining "The Sing-Off" as a new judge, along with Shawn Stockman and Ben Folds, with host Nick Lachey ("The Winner Is") also set to come back.
As recently announced, "The Sing-Off" received a new series commitment as a holiday strip to air over several nights later this year. "The Sing-Off" originally premiered in December 2009 as a five-night event and became a weekly series in 2011.
The program showcases the country's top a cappella groups performing popular songs in ways that viewers have never heard them before. "The Sing-Off" has no lip-synching, back-up bands or safety net. Competitors are singing with dreams of walking away with the ultimate prize: a recording contract and $100,000.
"There are very few musical artists as accomplished and talented as Jewel. Her addition to 'The Sing-Off' judges panel, along with our stellar team of Shawn Stockman and Ben Folds, raises the showmanship of the series up another notch," said Paul Telegdy, NBC's president of alternative and late night programming. "The musical credentials of Nick Lachey are extraordinary and his continued contributions to the show as host remain a huge asset."
Added executive producer Mark Burnett: "I am so thrilled to welcome Jewel to our expert musical panel. Jewel is one of America's greatest singer songwriters, and is an amazing storyteller. In company with the incredible talent of Ben Folds, Shawn Stockman and Nick Lachey, this season of 'The Sing-Off' is sure to be its best yet."
Jewel is an acclaimed American singer, songwriter, actress, poet, painter, philanthropist and daughter to an Alaskan cowboy singer-songwriter.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Police recently released the us the locations of the most dangerous intersections in Lexington. They're the spots where the most crashes occurred last year.
They're the spots you're most likely to get into a wreck crossing. Together in 2012, they contributed to more than 140 crashes. And the worst of them all - isn't even a normal intersection.
"We've been over here for about maybe three years now, and I've seen numerous accidents," noted Dwight Gatewood. Gatewood lives right beside the roundabout where the most cars crashed last year - at Wellington Way and Reynolds Road.
"Like that car that just came around there. Sometimes these cars that come out of here, they don't slow down. They just come right on out."
"I have seen people get in there and stop to let cars come on or they get in the wrong lane and try to go around, cut cars off. When it's wet, slide into the curb because it's so narrow there," described driver Debbie Brookins.
The roundabout averaged three wrecks a month. The second on the list, Richmond at Fontaine Road, averaged about two.
"I've lived here for 13 years on this side, and it can be pretty bad," described Leisa Dean of the intersection at Richmond and Fontaine, "most of them are trying to get out as soon as they can. And they don't want to go all the way up here, and turn around right here, make a U-turn. They'll just go straight. They'll just cut through there."
South Broadway at West Vine Street, Alumni Drive at Man O' War Boulevard, and Man O' War at Pink Pigeon round out the top five.
"A lot of it is just volume. Traffic volumes that these intersections see. And propensity for people that try to get through those intersections. They're trying to beat the light in a lot of situations and they end up following too closely," explained Commander Thomas Curtsinger with Lexington Police.
Commander Curtsinger says his officers keep track of the crash count, and pinpoint ways to run traffic control to make those streets safer. "At the end of the day, it's gotta come down to driver behavior."
WKYT wants to know which spots in Lexington you think are most dangerous. Comment below and let us know what areas Lexington Police need to keep an eye on.

Revs add two to the injury list ahead of busy week
he New England Revolution athletic training staff released the Tuesday injury report this afternoon following the team's last last training session before Wednesday's match against Chivas USA. The list shows two additions and two players having dropped off, which will be important as the team is already down several players.
NE Injury Report - May 4, 2010
QUESTIONABLE: Kevin Alston (illness)
OUT: Emmanuel Osei (R leg infection), Matt Reis (disabled list: L shoulder/L knee surgeries), Taylor Twellman (concussion), Mike Videira (R ankle Os Trigonum)
Preston Burpo (concussion) and Chris Tierney (L knee sprain) have both dropped off the injury list, but Kevin Alston has been added as QUESTIONABLE. He has missed the last two days of training with the illness.
There is also one new addition to the OUT faction. Emmanuel Osei's laceration in his leg has become infected and the team's doctors have made the decision to keep him away from the team and facilities until the infection has cleared. Matt Reis continues to work on strengthening his shoulder, while Taylor Twellman continues to slowly add back additional team activities into his daily workouts. (Today he participated in possession drills with non-starters.)
The new addition is Mike Videira, who has picked up a injury to the Os Trigonum bone in his right ankle. This small bone near the back of the ankle can sometimes become inflamed and tender in some people, which is what has happened to Mike.

While larger-scale logistics solutions (known as "integrated suites" of software) tend to cover a wide variety of supply chain functions, freight software programs—generally marketed as "freight forwarder" or "freight broker" software—are specialized logistics solutions that focus on the shipping phase of the supply chain.
System features will vary depending on the vendor, but some freight software packages offer inventory control functionality, such as order and invoice automation, and dispatch capabilities in addition to shipping functionality. Because these features can be specific to certain shipping needs, it's important to find the freight software system that best suits your business.
To help you understand the market, we've put together this buyer's guide. Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Freight Software?
Common Features of Freight Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Pricing: Web-Based vs. On-Premise
Freight software is a type of logistics software used primarily for tasks such as shipment quoting, carrier selection and route planning, tracking shipments, dispatching and inventory management. Many third-party logistics (3PL) businesses use freight software to facilitate their daily operations.
While some vendors offer freight software as part of a larger, integrated logistics platform, those systems may be too complex or cost-prohibitive for small to midsize shipping businesses that only need functionality related to their specific operations.
There is no uniform definition for these products, due to their variation in functionality. However, freight brokerage products are often geared towards specific types of businesses—for example, smaller 3PLs that only need to facilitate the shipment of goods between a manufacturer and customer. Freight forwarder software, on the other hand, may include added functionality, as freight forwarders generally offer storage options and may even ship goods themselves (more on this below).
Carrier selection feature in URoute frieght software
Because the freight software category encompasses a variety of different products, it's important to select the features specific to your business needs. Many freight software products offer some combination of the following features:
|Allows users to estimate prices for individual shipments based on factors such as weight and distance. This function is needed by 3PLs and other freight brokers in order to bid on shipments from manufacturers.
|Carrier selection
|Determines the optimal carrier for a particular shipment, using factors such as price and route. Some systems can intelligently filter out carrier options based on your requirements to shorten the selection process. May offer a shipment consolidation function to pair similar shipments together for better pricing.
|Route planning
|Also found in larger transportation management software packages; allows users to optimize shipping routes based on distance, fuel cost, load size and other factors. More suitable for domestic shipping operations, as most features are geared towards trucking (some, but not all, solutions can support international operations).
|Shipment tracking
|Provides visibility into live shipments and delivery statuses. Many shipment tracking features offer snapshots of the shipment's details, special delivery instructions and billing amounts. Modern technology allows for real-time tracking information, which can include estimated time of arrival and alerts in cases of delays or other issues.
|Tracks delivery vehicle capacity and delivery times. Some features also offer time logs for drivers, as well as other employee-management functions. These kinds of capabilities allow more oversight into delivery driver behavior and increases accountability among employees.
|Inventory management
|Monitors freight being stored on the way to its final destination. Suitable for smaller freight and 3PL companies, as these features typically include basic inventory control functions only. (Full inventory management suites provide wider functionality geared towards larger warehouse operations and high-overhead businesses.)
Again, due to the variance in features that can be included in freight software products, it's best to begin evaluating options based on the nature of your company's operations:
Freight brokers. For companies that facilitate the bidding process between manufacturers, shippers and buyers, such as smaller or growing 3PL companies, freight broker software with a simple quoting feature may be the most functionality that is needed. These systems typically include additional tools such as invoicing or shipment tracking, though they may not be necessary for your business.
Freight forwarders. For businesses that do the above and offer additional storage or warehousing services for goods throughout the shipping process, freight software with added functionality may be required. This might include an inventory management component, which would help users keep track of the items coming in and out of their facility, or dispatching capabilities to assist with the shipment of goods.
Pricing for these solutions is dependent on the functionality they offer and the deployment model that is chosen. Deployment models include:
Whichever deployment model you choose, there is one basic rule to keep in mind: the more functionality your freight software provides, the higher the price will be.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Valour, Votes for Women
& Vital Statistics
War Memorials for men and women killed in war are a poignant sight in every town and villages across the land and largely date from the First World War. I have chosen to feature here memorials to valour from the earlier often forgotten conflict of the South African Boer War.
In 1903, Head of the British Forces, Lord Roberts, unveiled the Boer War Memorial in Wilton Lodge Park, Hawick. Twenty three men from Hawick and district died in the South African conflict and are named on the memorial. The inscription reads:"Erected by all classes of the Borderland in honour of the men of Hawick and district who fell in south Africa in the Great Boer War of 1899-1902 as a memorial of undying regard.
You do well to keep their memories green; you do well to cherish the example they set, and to offer the only consolation to their relatives and friends that they have not given their lives in vain - that the object for which they fought has been accomplished."
The Victoria Cross, instituted in the Crimean War, is the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. Donald Farmer went onto serve in the First World War and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He died in 1956 aged 79.

We tend to associate suffragette marches with London and the cities, but the scene above was in the small mill town of Hawick in the Scottish Borders (population in 1911 - 16,877, where women were an integral part of industrial life in the manufacture of tweed and knitwear.
In February 1909 "The Hawick News" had a headline which read "Suffragette Invasion" - the occasion the campaign for the Border Burghs election. Emmeline Pankhurst, militant suffragette leader addressed a crowded meeting in Hawick Town Hall 1909. A piper marched around the platform and the audience sang the song "Votes for Women".
Rise, ye men of Border burghs.
Show yourself in your true colours
As you've done in days gone by
Stand by British Liberty
"Votes for Women" loudly defying
Stubborn foes you'll put to rout
Vote and keep the Liberals out
IAnother largely unknown Borderer (at least in Britain) is writer, feminist and social reformer Catherine Helen Spence (1835-1910), with a simple plaque commemorating her home on Melrose High Street.
Catherine was the daughter of Melrose lawyer David Spence, who emigrated with his family to Australia in 1839. David Spence became Adelaide's first town clerk.
Catherine was the first woman in Australia to stand as a political candidate, the first woman journalist and novelist, a battler for women's suffrage and social reform, and a lifelong campaigner for proportional representation. She played a key role in setting up the children's court system, wrote the first legal studies textbook to be published in Australia, earning the title of "Grand Old Woman of Australia". She is commemorated in Adelaide by the Spence Archive of her papers and writings and by a statue The $5 banknote, celebrating the centenary of the federation of Australia, features her image.

Ralph Krueger is positioned to become the new head coach of the Edmonton Oilers.
And not just physically.
Krueger is no longer at his home in Davos, Switzerland, but a 20-minute boat trip and two-hour drive to Winnipeg, then a two-hour flight away.
And there's every evidence and indication the job is going to be his, that Krueger will be making the trip here from his family summer home outside of Kenora, Ont., to be hired and press conferenced as the 10th head coach in Oilers NHL history.
Krueger isn't saying it. But there's more than enough in what he does say – and in what Brent Sutter says – to believe there is only one candidate in the running for the position.
Put it all together and it's virtually impossible not to come to the conclusion that the Winnipeg native and long-time coach of the Swiss national team, who was Tom Renney's associate coach here the last two years, is going to be given the job when Kevin Lowe, Steve Tambellini and Craig MacTavish return from the NHL draft next week.
Sutter says he still hasn't had communication in any way, shape or form from the Oilers.
Krueger admits he has.
"I agreed to be part of the process the way it's evolving," were the carefully chosen words from the man who took over coaching the Oilers power play last year and moved it from near worst to near first. The Oilers ended up third at 20.6% after being 27th at 14.5% the year before.
"I'm completely comfortable with the way it's evolving," he said of the Oilers coaching search which appears to involve no actual searching at all.
"I've been comfortable to let it develop naturally.
"I believe I'm in play.
"All I've wanted to do is put my best foot forward and accept the results accordingly. I'm still very motivated by the idea and am expecting thing to evolve toward something concrete."
Asked to what extent he thinks he's in play, as he put it, Krueger said "I believe I'm very much in play."
He said he only has one iron in his fire and it's got the Oilers brand at the end of it.
"I have never danced to two weddings at a time," he said of making himself a candidate for any other job on either side of the ocean in hockey. Krueger has coached for 22 consecutive years and the Oilers associate coaching job was only his third stop.
Krueger said he's excited about the potential opportunity.
"Even forgetting the fact I spent the last two years in Edmonton, if I had my pick of all 30 teams in which to be head coach, the one I'd pick is Edmonton.
"Edmonton would be the one."
Krueger has had the place outside of Kenora for 15 years, bringing his family home for a few weeks each year from Davos, where his children were raised, "to get the feel of what Canada is like in the summer."
This year, he says, there's another feel involved.
"Mike Richards is from here and there is so much excitement about bringing the Stanley Cup back here. A lot of people probably aren't aware that the Kenora Thistles won the Stanley Cup in 1907. It's a great place, right now, to get the feel of what the Stanley Cup means."
There's lots and lots of smoke there and a real fire in Krueger to take on the job if, indeed, it is his.
At Sutter's Sylvan Lake farm and his WHL Red Deer Rebels office, there is no smoke, no communication and no indication of anything that's about to put Sutter in play next week.
"No news," he said Wednesday.
"I haven't talked to the Oilers at all. I haven't had any conversation. They might have no interest in myself," said the former coach of the Calgary Flames who was believed to be the leading candidate when Kevin Lowe, as GM of Team Canada for the world hockey championships, chose Sutter to coach that team at the world hockey championship. Sutter followed Ken Hitchcock and Craig MacTavish as the third straight Team Canada coach to lose in the quarter-final at the tournament.
Sutter said his situation hasn't changed since he left the Flames by mutual agreement and he's proceeding as if it isn't going to change.
"I came back to Red Deer prepared to spend the year working on the Rebels and the farm," he said.

Many stories have escaped the walls of any asylum although most have died within. One such story was the experience of a child – a sane child whose spirit may have been a bit rebellious for the time, but none the less, she was and is perfectly sane.
Sharon captures her haunting memories in the following essay written in a writing class I facilitate.
In 1955 I was placed in the Oregon State Hospital for the criminally insane in Salem along with three other escapees from the Hillcrest reform school for girls.
After breaking free from Hillcrest, the four of us were picked up early one evening by staff from McClaren School for Boys. We had no idea no where we were going, and it was a quiet and somber ride. That would be the last silence I would experience for several weeks.
Hillcrest authority had warned the girls that runaways would not be tolerated and had suggested we would be transferred to Rocky Butte Jail in Portland. I believed I had prepared myself for jail. We had joked about it among ourselves laughingly, using the jailhouse phrase "we can do that standing on our heads". So, of course, I was confused and bewildered when after a short ride we pulled up before a huge, looming and ominous building that housed Oregon's insane … about 3,500 patients at that time. It looked like what it was … a house of horrors! I could never have prepared myself for what would meet me inside.
My carpool partner and I were separated from the other girls, and I never saw them again. My memory of this place begins after entering the first of a session of wards where I was slightly relieved by the relaxed setting of Danish-style furniture and young people milling around for the most part, looking quite sane. Between each ward and locked door there was a hall or a short screened walkway. The heavy, solid doors were locked behind before the next was unlocked. One of the next wards housed older women; some were sitting in the wicker furniture that was familiar only to that ward. They were a scattered group with some talking to themselves or others, but it was nothing compared to primeval chaos that greeted us when we entered the back ward that was to be my home for the next three weeks … a ward for the criminally insane.
When passing through each ward into the next, it seemed as if we were descending deeper and deeper into this world of madness, peeling off layers until we reached the "back" ward where I was assigned. The constant racket and uproar overpowers my memory of the foul smell, but they were both overwhelming. I was scared out of my mind.
The building was constructed in 1883 with high ceilings, old fashioned lighting, and heavy screened windows. It was a perfect expectation as to what an Insane Asylum would look like, including the tormented occupants.
A group of women surrounded us as soon as we entered. I did not move even as they pressed close and picked at our clothes muttering and asking questions without needing answers. Surely, they were not going to leave us here in this snake pit. Well, they did!
It was near bed time, but they first took us to the shower area which also held two deep bath tubs set in the middle of the room. This arrangement provided space for as many attendants as needed to control the patients who became unmanageable. On this night, the tubs were used to disinfect or delouse the two of us, washing our hair with a nasty smelling liquid, even though we had come from a state institution. It was the rule. There were many other rules.
Two of us were placed on this ward, but we were separated. After being "disinfected' and issued a faded worn nightgown, I was taken to the bathroom and then instructed to leave my shoes outside the door of a room that held two cots. I was strapped to one of them with a heavy leather strap and wide leather cuffs that secured my hands to my waist. The other cot under the tall screened window was empty. I tried to convince the attendant that I was not crazy, only here for punishment. They ignored me, telling me I would be in restraints for twenty-four hours. "It was the rule."
There was little sleep that night. It was February, and the wind was howling outside; the patients were howling inside. Tormented pitiful cries along with repetitive chanting, hollering, and pleading came from the women now restrained in bed.
Someone was allowed up to pace the hall. She was chanting "Jesus don't care, Jesus don't care" over and over, louder and louder. I was a stranger in a strange place and was thrown completely off guard.
I laid in bed trying to relax and not struggle in the restraints. I fought the claustrophobia and the fear. Just about then a hand came through the space between the wall and the radiator and grabbed my head. The wall that separated the room and the hall was cut away providing a spot for a radiator which heated both areas at the same time. The space around the radiator was large enough for a hand to reach inside. My friend who was released from her restraints to use the bathroom had seen my shoes outside my room and used the chance to scare me. My screams blended with the others.
Morning came, and my door was open, but I still was strapped in bed. One of the patients entered my room, a heavy-set, sloppy-looking woman. She talked softly, sweetly to me and reached under her dress for a comb that was left with just a few scattered teeth. I pleaded with her to leave as she leaned over me and started to comb my hair. She rambled on not paying any attention to my pleas, and I was afraid to make her angry as I couldn't defend myself. She quickly left when a childlike girl or woman bolted into my room taking an aggressive stance with hands on her hips and screaming, "You're in love with Doctor Dreis are you? Aren't you? I saw you take him down and intercourse him." I was afraid this agile little monkey-like gal jumping around was going to tear into me. Just then a matron arrived and released me to wash up and have breakfast. She left me with a bleached cotton print dress which was common issue, and I hoped it would help me blend in with the other patients. Most of the women seemed to be living in their own worlds, talking and using wild hand gestures to get their point across to the imaginary people they were directing all their energy toward.
My first experience in the dining room is the only one I remember vividly. I sat down with a dozen or so patients at the long wooden table set with dented tin plates and cups and a solitary spoon for a utensil. In the midst of this first meal a young woman sitting at the head of the table announced in a loud voice, "I use Listerine". She took a big gulp of coffee, threw her head back, and gargled. Then she spewed it out over the table, following it with peals of laughter.
Others would spit food back in their plates or take or give food to others sometimes causing a squabble, but more often this was tolerated or not even noticed by what I guessed to be heavily sedated women, some with drool spilling from their open mouths. I couldn't eat. I tried to convince myself to drink the milk. Take a sip, I love milk. I couldn't do it. Everything seemed so vile. I learned to drink coffee. Black coffee was all I could stomach ... I found myself looking forward to mealtime for the coffee which other than a couple bites of bread I dunked would sustain me through my stay. I was close to hysteria, myself, and I was so grateful when they told me I would not have to finish the 24-hour restraint rule.
After breakfast and lunch any patient that could function at all was required to "Block." This required pushing a large block of wood covered by a heavy cloth on the bottom with a broomstick handle. This was a twice-a-day, seven-days-a week routine, and it went remarkably smooth. For as boring as it was, it was meant to provide exercise, and, of course, it helped keep the floors polished. Everyone moved exceptionally slow, some suffering with physical disabilities, pushing and polishing single file up and down the hall, around and around for an hour. ...........................................................Blocking tool on right
I got the first look at my surroundings that morning while I blocked, meekly staying in line, trying to blend in, and not drawing any attention to myself. One end of the long hall provided the sleeping rooms, some single, some double, and at least one larger room that held bedridden patients who were in constant restraint. Their yelling and pleading for help was a continual day and night background for the repetitive babbling and pitiful whimpering which never stopped anywhere on the ward. The terrible pathetic sight of their struggling to free themselves is unforgettable.
Blocking was over this first morning and my friend from Hillcrest was not there. They must have moved her early. Separating us, I later learned, that was another fear tactic which I must say was effective. I was on my own here, and there wasn't anywhere to go.
Several times I sought out someone who was exempt from blocking for different mental or physical problems and would place them in line, put the block in their hand, and sneak away. This didn't work very well as my plan would be foiled when my stand-in would wander out of line and foul things up or just wasn't capable because of the lack of strength or balance. Today I wonder if some younger patients were disabled with Muscular Dystrophy or other disfiguring diseases. Shame on me!
The opposite end of the hall held the open "day room" and the nurse's station. There was always activity here. The nurse's station was next to the door, and patients gathered to wait for the doctors or other attendants who stopped there before leaving the ward. There were always several inmates trying to push or beg their way out, pleading to go home. No one likes to be locked up even if they are crazy.
There were two or three women who wore red cotton pajama-like suits that were buttoned around the waist and across the shoulder, allowing them to be undressed without taking off the leather belt and cuffs that were never removed. They were not required to block, and one of these poor souls was hunched in a corner snarling at anyone who looked her way. Her hair was tangled, and she looked and acted menacing. The sloppy woman with the toothless comb couldn't resist the temptation. She stopped and tried to fuss over the hunched woman. It was over in a flash. The crazy woman had her down, and her teeth were locked onto her arm. When separated she was bleeding where a hunk of flesh was missing. The comb which was considered contraband was confiscated. Personal possessions were not allowed on this ward.
There were a few exceptions to that rule. An elderly lady in a single room, who had been a resident for 30 years was allowed to have a broom and spent her days sweeping her room hour after hour. Later, when I tried to engage her in conversation, she brushed me aside. Absorbed in keeping her floor clean, this sweet-looking, little gray-haired grandma always wore an apron.
I went to the day room where there was a television playing with the sound of a game show adding to the pandemonium. I found a place where I could sit with my back to the wall to stay out of the way until I could get my bearings. There were several people in the room; some were staring at the television with blank faces, not understanding the dialogue. I never had a chance to brace myself before the "little monkey" who had been in my room earlier, jumped in front of me again screaming and accusing me of "intercoursing" Dr Dreis. I was still scared of this tiny little fairytale creature, but my hands were free, and I could at least protect myself. She abruptly stopped, went to the heavily screened window, and standing with her legs apart, she lifted the front of her dress and slowly swayed back and forth singing "beautiful, beautiful bluish-green eyes" over and over until she was calm and left the room.
Sometime in the first few days I was taken off the ward to have my photo taken. Fingerprints? I can't remember. I do remember that I was taken through a dimly lit tunnel that smelled like a musty basement. There were tracks laid throughout the tunnels, and I later learned they were used to transport food, laundry, and other supplies between buildings using a small rail system. It was also used to transfer patients, which made it a convenient way to keep them from the public eye. I had expected to see a doctor at the end of the tunnel or someone with information. I was confused as to why I was still here. Were they planning on keeping me, testing me? Treating me? Will I see a doctor? I had questions, but no one to ask.
I felt alone, but as the days went on, my fears lessened. The initial fright had turned into more of a defensive mode. I was still leery and cautious but not saturated with the initial fear I had experienced when first thrown into this surreal never-imagined world.
As I became more comfortable, I was curious about these women. I approached several of them looking for someone to talk to and perhaps to help me navigate through this nightmare, but there was no common ground for conversation. I listened to a woman in her early forties who had tears in her eyes when she spoke of being married and cried when she told how much she missed her children. She was so lucid that I wondered to myself why she would be on a ward for the criminally insane.
As we were talking, the big door opened, and she was up off her chair, trying to squeeze her way out while she desperately pleaded her case. She was joined by several other women all desperate to escape. I found something else to do, but I sought her out again feeling sorry for her. She was so quiet and sad apart from some of the more aggressive or heavily sedated women. The entire scene was pathetic. I can't say it enough.
A few days later, while blocking after lunch, this same thin, delicate, red-haired woman began singing "Bringing in the Sheaves, Bringing in the Sheaves." She had a beautiful soprano voice, but she sang louder and louder, higher and higher as she went around and around until the song progressed into a high pitched scream. The attendants filled one of the deep bathtubs, and two of them wrapped her in a sheet and immersed her in the cold water which subdued her. In the next few days she was taken off the ward for a shock treatment. When she returned she was withdrawn and mute.
I approached anyone who could finish a sentence. I spent time with a young woman who was probably in her thirties who told entertaining stories about hobnobbing with movie stars. As a young girl in the fifties, I enjoyed the movie magazines that were so popular and kept us up to date on the personal lives of the stars. And now, I was privy to the inside stories.
She named different leading actresses and actors she had met and run with. She described the houses of the stars where she partied in Hollywood. She took me to California with the sunshine and the beautiful people, a wonderland she was a part of ... and who knows it may have been true. She was a pretty woman, and even in her cotton day-dress she played the part of a glamour girl to the point of being pretentious. I spent as much time listening to her stories that she would give me.
One morning while everyone was blocking in the hall, I saw some staff and a doctor escort her to a room which was set up like mine as the radiator was cut into the wall. Each time I passed her room I would stop and have a look. Today they had strapped her in bed and had a cart on wheels which was rigged to give portable shock treatments. I watched them put the cones on her temples and apply the shock. The only other thing that I remember is how hard she slept, how she snored so loudly for so long, and how she was so quiet and subdued when she recovered. She was blank when I spoke with her next. That was the end of the wonderfully entertaining stories.
Soon after the shock treatment she was allowed a "day out". It was a day off campus and most likely with her parents. I wondered if that was the purpose for the shock treatment, to subdue her for her visit. She caught my attention on her return because she was dressed in street clothes. I followed her when she went into the bathroom. The always-busy staff had taken their eyes from her before she changed her clothes, and she had decided she was going to wash her long, beautiful, full-length camel hair coat.
The bathroom had a long community sink with multiple faucets, and the movie star lady laid out her coat in the sink and turned on all the faucets. The overworked matrons now had to deal with this ruined coat which probably cost as much or more than a week of their wages. I speculated that maybe her parents had some influence as she was the only patient I observed that had left the ward with the exception of those who received shock treatments.
At this point I was more at ease with the surroundings and sought out ways to fill the days. The hospital did have a movie night, but the criminally insane weren't privilege. I spent some time playing cards with a little, feisty, older lady who wore mitts on both hands as she would shred clothing, bedding, or whatever she found to satisfy her compulsion.
It was a selfish act on my part. It was a bargain deal. They removed her restraints, and I would play cards with her to weasel out of blocking, although for me it was just about as boring. There was a partial deck of cards, and the "Shredder" did all the dealing. After being restrained it probably felt good to use her hands. She was in complete control. I didn't even need to play my cards. She played them for me and with no rhyme or reason. I liked this little lady because she was so out-front, bossy, and spoke her mind. I should have spent more time with her.
About a week after arriving, the matrons who were always short-handed asked me to help with the showers. I agreed only if I would be on the drying end of the operation. The more violent patients were showered with their restraints intact. Even so, I was uneasy with these naked, sullen women, some of whom spent their days cuffed, either on their feet in their pajama suits or on their backs, and a few on sheepskins. Some would recoil and cower at being touched while others would fight even though their hands were cuffed. They kicked and struggled when they were dried and dressed. More than once I called for backup because they scared me. I hated this chore, but once doing it I could hardly ignore the fact it made it much easier and faster for the overworked help.
I stayed clear of the patients restrained in their beds. I ignored their futile cries and pitiful pleas for help. The same pleas you might hear repeated in nursing homes today. The same smells you'll find there, as well.
I did not witness any intended abuse for my three week's stay. The matrons I talked with were from around the Salem area. They were of the same make up as the Hillcrest matrons; some of whom had also worked at Fairview next door. Middle aged housewives for the most part, overworked and undoubtedly underpaid. Strong women who must have a matched mindset to rebuke the women following them constantly, clamoring for attention, and asking questions that have no answers. To spend day after day with such despair and heartache and in turn be required to clean the woman with feces smeared on her and the wall of the bathroom or to calm the two fighting over a single scrap of paper or to deal with the woman who undresses whenever a male was present. All this is a constant whirlwind of insane actions blended with the other lost, catatonic souls with bent heads set on over medicated bodies. I wondered what the turnover in this job must have been?
My grandparents came to see me. They told me my parents had been here, but were turned away. I hadn't had a letter because communication was not allowed the first thirty days. My grandfather was persistent, and we were allowed a short visit. He brought me hope along with box of chocolate Turtles. After three weeks of bread and black coffee, I counted the hours until meal times when I was allocated two of the delicious sweet pieces of chocolate and caramel. I nibbled, savoring each tiny bit until the after-flavor had long passed.
It was just a few days after their visit that I was taken to the office of the Superintendent where I met my grandparents again. They had been to the District Attorney's office in Salem, and grandpa had demanded my release. He got it. I was getting out of here!
The meeting with the superintendent draws a blank other than a visual of a large, kind man behind a large desk. I do know I left the State Hospital not knowing where I would be going. A nineteen year-old I knew who was released from Hillcrest, was sent back for parole violation when she married. Amazingly, they allowed her husband visitation. What a goofy world! Being an adult in her circumstance didn't keep her out of Hillcrest, and perhaps I was to return as well. So, being eighteen would not assure my release. They could return me to Hillcrest if they wanted. Anyway, I felt their intention may be to send me to jail. I welcomed either choice after this experience.
Again, I was on my way to an unknown destination. Only, this time I was surprised and overjoyed when I arrived at the modern Donald E. Long Juvenile Home in Portland. I later discovered that Hillcrest wouldn't take me back because they believed I was the instigator in the runaway.
After several days of peace and quiet in the Isolation Unit, but still certainly concerned about additional incarceration, I went to court. It was brief. The judge asked questions and ruled the State Hospital had been severe enough punishment, a harsh lesson, and he turned me loose. I will bypass any further restriction. Free and clear.

22 October 2013
Australia Zoo was over the moon last week as we welcomed Skye the baby giraffe, the first giraffe to be born in Queensland, into our family. She dropped in at 10.10am AEST on Wednesday 16 October, the first child for proud parents Forrest and Rosie.
Both Rosie and her calf are healthy and doing extremely well, according to Australia Zoo Africa curator Laurie Pond. "Our little giraffe has already taken her first wobbly steps after two or three concerted efforts to stand up," Laurie said. "She is already suckling and we couldn't be happier with her progress. Rosie is also doing well and is a fantastic first-time mum, and seems quite content with her new little calf."
Both Forrest and Rosie have settled at Australia Zoo since 2009. Rosie travelled from Monarto Zoo in South Australia whilst Forrest arrived from Auckland Zoo in New Zealand.
"Forrest is quite the lucky man, being the only male in our herd of four giraffe," Laurie said. "Our other two giraffe girls, Sally and Penny, are also expecting calves in the next few months."
Rosie and Skye will spend the next few weeks bonding, with visitors to Australia Zoo getting the opportunity to see them at roaming our African savannah in the coming months.
For regular updates on our baby giraffes, subscribe to our Zoo Weekly newsletter or follow Australia Zoo on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
- The gestation period for a giraffe is 14-15 months
- Giraffes give birth standing up - the impact of hitting the ground stimulates the calf to take its first breath
- Newborn calves stand at approximately 1.8m tall – the perfect height to reach their mothers' udders
- Giraffes are known for their elongated necks. Like most mammals, they have seven vertebrae but each vertebra is much larger to support a long and muscular neck
- Giraffes have their own unique coat pattern much like a human fingerprint
ROSIE (mother)
- 5 years old (born 17/01/2008)
- About 4m tall, which is the average height for a female giraffe
- Arrived at Australia Zoo in November 2009 from Monarto Zoo in South Australia
- She is our most confident giraffe, taking everything in her stride – she'll make a great first time mum!
FORREST (father)
- 5 years old (born 17/11/2007)
- Forrest is not quite fully grown yet - he could reach 6m tall and weigh as much as 1500kg
- Arrived at Australia Zoo in May 2009 from Auckland Zoo in New Zealand
- Forrest is a lucky boy, being the only male in our herd of four giraffes
- He is a lovely boy who is maturing with age
- All four of Australia Zoo's giraffes have only recently reached sexual maturity. This birth, and the pregnancy of the other two females, goes to show how much they are enjoying the open spaces of our Africa exhibit
- Through continuous monitoring of the pregnancies via blood serum analysis and ultrasound we are also able to contribute to the knowledge base on the reproduction of the species
- Poaching and habitat loss remain the biggest threat to giraffe populations, but prospects for survival are good for those living in game reserves and national parks
- The Giraffe Conservation Foundation estimates that there are less than 80,000 individuals remaining across all subspecies

what we can do ?
Views: 3581
Loren, I Agree.
Anything may be POSSIBLE. I am far more concerned with what is PROBABLE, and as things stand, deities don't qualify.
We get it. You don't think deities are probable. You don't believe in God. But that's not what we were talking about.
OK, I am going to enter this topic with Probable, Possible, Preferable.
One can relatively easily figure out what is probable, based on past history. If one wants to learn from the past and do things better, or differently, or faster, or whatever, think in terms of possibilities.
If one wants to transform the situation, think outside the usual and typical, of what is preferable and then work to that goal, if it matters.
On the other had, if it isn't important, let chips fall where they may and get on with living.
What was the topic? Oh well, as if it matters.
Well first I will check and see if other scientists can independently verify these claims. If their evidence seems to corroborate with one another then I will accept it. Now the fun part begins. Which god did science prove exists?
Okay, you asked for it - Aphrodite.

Rumor has it that Apple had offered a settlement with an unnamed smartphone manufacturer to license patents for $5 - $15 per device (which worked out to 1% - 2.5% of the total device price). Apple is making ground in its ongoing patent battle with Motorola, but apparently head-to-head litigation isn't the only route they're willing to take.
This goes pretty distinctly against Steve Jobs' desire to crush competitors that are trying to copy Apple's work. With new leadership in the house, however, maybe that draconian approach has subsided. Some sources had clarified that Apple still isn't going to be licensing out to all of the competitors, nor are they trying to get into the royalty business - Apple's making plenty of money as is, after all. They did settle with Nokia, however, and have discussed deals with others.
Should Apple play nice and license their patents? Maybe it would cut down on other manufacturers suing them if there was an amount of mutual goodwill, but unless they're cornered and out of options, Apple tends to go at things on their own - competition be damned. Any guesses as to who Apple might be willing to offer licensing deals to? Would any of the big Android manufacturers like Samsung, Motorola or HTC be off the table?
