New menu rates members of Congress on food issue votes
Marylanders we send to Congress are accustomed to getting sliced, diced and rated by the likes of the National Rifle Association and an array of business and labor groups.
But who is watching how members vote on vital food policy issues, such as hunger, access to nutrition, farm subsidies and, perhaps, the wisdom of wide-scale conversion to genetically modified crops occuring silently in our midst?
A lot of groups, but not until now are they pooling their clout to elevate food issues in Congress.
Flanked by celebrity chef Tom Colicchio, Washington-based Environmental Working Group last week announced a new initiative. Food Policy Action will distribute scorecards on how senators and House members vote on significant matters related to food.
The Environmental Working Group is known for relentlessly disclosing taxpayer subsidies to farmers who don't need them and pioneering research on consumer products from laundry detergents to sunscreen.
Working Group vice-president Scott Faber spelled out reasons voters might be interested: One-third of American adults are obese; 20 million people lack easy access to healthy food; 3,000 people in the United States die every year from foodborne illnesses.
"We are clearly not doing enough in our nation to address food challenges," he said. "All the evidence is that voters are really hungry for this information."
Marylanders, by and large, scored well on the initial report card: At 100 percent, Sens. Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin couldn't have fared better.
Among House members in the region, Steny Hoyer scored 93 percent, while Andy Harris scored 21 percent.
The ratings reflect the recent anti-regulatory and anti-spending sentiments of congressional Republicans, leading to the question of whether the new initiative is a partisan enterprise.
The choice of scored votes is entirely subjective, of course, and is determined by an advisory board that includes Gary Hirschberg, chairman of Stonyfield Farm and Michael Jacobson, who heads the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
"I don't think we made it partisan, but we made it political," said Working Group president Ken Cook.
Colicchio, from the television program Top Chef, is also a board member and has focused on hunger issues during his career.
"When you have 50 million people, including 17 million children, who are food insecure, you've got an epidemic," he observed.

Welcome to Rough Luxe Hotel
This is Rough Luxe. Half rough, half luxury. A little bit of luxury in a rough part of London. A little bit of rough in a luxurious London. Our Grade II listed home was transformed by internationally acclaimed designer Rabih Hage in 2008 and our philosophy is simple: You are staying with us in our home, so just ask us for anything you need. Guests at a Rough Luxe hotel might have a small room or a small shower cubicle, but the luxury is in the choice of the wine, the bed linen, the art on the walls and the people looking after you. Apart from a sumptuous breakfast, we don't serve food. London has some amazing restaurants - we couldn't compete and so we don't. We will be happy to try and get you into a restaurant, either one of our favourites or one of yours. If you are stuck for something to do in the evening, let us know and you can either eat with us or we can go out and grab a bite. Our look is a mix of old and new, furniture and art; combining colours and beautiful fabrics with cheap materials and existing distressed original walls. Cheap materials are treated as precious items and preserved for their beauty and memory of the site.

- As seen on SmackDown and at recent WWE live events, Ryback has been doing the spear and the jackhammer moves. Bill Goldberg re-tweeted the following comment from a fan in response to Ryback:
"Ryback hitting a Spear + Jackhammer better mean @Goldberg is coming back. Because if he isnt then its a total kick in the nuts to him by WWE"
- The Usos worked as heels as they defeated Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater in Glasgow, Scotland last night. McIntyre came out to a huge pop from the hometown crowd but got pinned to end the match.
- CM Punk spoke to Renee Young after saving Daniel Bryan from another Wyatt Family attack on last night's SmackDown. Renee asked if there is a new pairing between Punk and Bryan. Punk said he's always done his own thing but wants to get a piece of The Wyatts now. Punk added he doesn't think there is a pairing between he and Bryan, he just likes to kick people in the face.

Information & Forms | Athletic Training Staff | Athletic Training Facilities | Athletic Training Links
The Washington and Lee University Athletic Training staff consists of five athletic trainers, all of which are certified by the National Athletic Trainers' Association – Board of Certification (NATA-BOC). The athletic training staff supports all 24 of W&L's varsity level sports. The fall sports teams that are covered are football, volleyball, men's and women's soccer, field hockey, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's equestrian riding and golf. In the winter, men's and women's indoor track and field, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming and wrestling are supervised. In the spring, the athletic training staff then turns its focus to men's and women's tennis, men's and women's outdoor track and field, baseball, men's and women's lacrosse, and men's and women's golf.
The goals of an athletic trainer are: to prevent, educate, assess and document injuries and/or illnesses, provide adequate first aid and emergency care, setup appropriate rehabilitation programs, and offer counseling opportunities to athletes. To become a certified athletic trainer, one must be enrolled in or have completed an accredited program that has class work that includes anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, health, exercise physiology, basic and advanced athletic training. Upon completion of that program, the NATA-BOC certification exam must be successfully passed in order to attain the Certified Athletic Trainer credential. One may work in many fields, such as high schools, the college or university, industrial or hospital settings, etc.
Individuals may shadow the Generals' athletic training staff and help with W&L's varsity athletics if they so choose. The opportunity to work one-on-one with intercollegiate athletics is limited and the experiences of observing how an athletic trainer carries out their duties is quite rewarding. You may also be able to learn when, why and how therapeutic modalities, taping and bracing techniques, and rehabilitation exercises are given or used. If you are interested in observing the W&L athletic training staff, please contact Josh Williamson at firstname.lastname@example.com or extension 8166.

I mentioned its predecessor, Nehrim, in my big PC mods roundup last week, so it's only fair today I point out a project a little more contemporary in its aims.
Enderal: The Shards of Order is a total conversion for Skyrim, in development by the same team behind Nehrim, that seeks to take the bones of the fifth Elder Scrolls game and give us an entirely new experience. New characters, new story, new lore, new universe, the works.
Well, sort of new. While entirely divorced from the events in Elder Scrolls, Enderal is a true sequel to Nehrim, continuing the events of that mod/game.
As you can see in the images and artwork below, featuring entirely new landscapes and vegetation, this ain't your daddy's Skyrim.

Success of the economy hinges upon seasonal variations in agriculture, tourism, and construction activity as well as remittances. Much of the workforce is employed in banana production and tourism, but persistent high unemployment has prompted many to leave the islands. Saint Vincent is home to a small offshore banking sector and has moved to adopt international regulatory standards. This lower-middle-income country is vulnerable to natural disasters - tropical storms wiped out substantial portions of crops in 1994, 1995, and 2002. Floods and mudslides caused by unseasonable rainfall in 2013, caused substantial damage to infrastructure, homes, and crops, which the World Bank estimated at US$112 million. The government's ability to invest in social programs and respond to external shocks is constrained by its high public debt burden, which was 67% of GDP - one of the lowest levels in the Eastern Caribbean - at the end of 2013. In 2013, the islands had more than 200,000 tourist arrivals, mostly to the Grenadines. Arrivals represented a marginal increase from 2012 but remain 26% below St. Vincent's 2009 peak. Weak recovery in the tourism and construction sectors limited growth in 2015.

Highlighting alcohol-cancer link, group advises limiting intake
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Tuesday, April 22, 2014 9:24AM EDT
Last Updated Tuesday, April 22, 2014 11:14AM EDT
A new report is offering a strong reminder that alcohol is a known cancer-causer, and advising those who drink to take in no more than one to two drinks a day.
Cancer Care Ontario released new recommendations Tuesday on how best to manage the risks of alcohol.
Their report found that, despite the wealth of studies noting the health risks of alcohol, only a third of Canadians are even aware they can lower their risk of cancer by reducing their alcohol intake.
"The average person doesn't realize that alcohol is a cause of cancer," CCO's vice-president of prevention and cancer control, Dr. Linda Rabeneck, told CTV's Canada AM Tuesday.
"It's what we call a carcinogen. And there's very clear evidence of that. Most people know about the risks of smoking, and smoking being a risk factor for cancer. But alcohol is a risk factor for cancer too."
For those who do choose to drink alcohol, the agency says to reduce one's cancer risk:
- women should not drink more than one drink a day
- men shouldn't drink more than two drinks a day
Cancer Care Ontario would also like to see lawmakers take the risks of alcohol seriously, and are calling on the provincial government to:
- Maintain and reinforce socially responsible pricing for alcohol, such as minimum pricing at or above consumer price index, and price disincentives for higher alcohol content beverages;
- Ensure effective controls on alcohol availability, such as no increase in outlet density, no further privatization. That means they want the province to scrap its plans for LCBO Express kiosks in grocery stores
- Strengthen controls on alcohol marketing and promotion;
- Increase access to alcohol counselling interventions.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer considers alcohol a Class 1 carcinogen, meaning it's in the same category as asbestos, smoking, ultraviolet radiation, and diesel exhaust.
And yet Rabeneck says many Canadians seem unaware of how clearly alcohol has been linked to cancers of the mouth and throat, such as esophageal and pharyngeal cancers, as well as liver, colorectal, and breast cancers.
Even small amounts of alcohol have been shown to increase the risk of some cancers. The relative risk of oral and pharyngeal cancers, for example, is increased by 21 per cent for those consuming one drink or less per day, compared to non-drinkers. The risk also increases with the amount consumed.
Heavy alcohol drinkers -- meaning those who have more than four drinks per day -- are at a substantially increased risk of cancer.
"There's no safe amount of alcohol consumption when it comes to cancer risk," she says.
But Rabeneck also notes that several studies have found that a moderate level of alcohol can lower the risks of heart disease and stroke. That's why, she says, the report took into consideration those possible health benefits in its new recommendations.
Smoking, says Rabeneck, actually increases the cancer risk of alcohol, working synergistically, she says, to increase the health risks.
"So people who drink alcohol to excess and smoke are at really very high of certain cancer," she says.
In Ontario, around 3,000 cases of cancer each year can be attributed to alcohol consumption, the agency says. Those cases account for two to four per cent of all new cancers a year.

Upgrade The BIOS On A Dell PE650, Upgrade Poweredge 650 BIOS
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to upgrade the BIOS on a Dell Poweredge 650. I had multiple problems because I didn't have a floppy drive to use at first and the fact that the PE650 is an older Dell server model. Since I didn't have a floppy drive to test with initially I attempted to use the Dell System Build & Update Utility however I was unable to ever get it working properly. Initially the problem was simply getting the tool downloaded. Finally I decided to order a floppy drive and below are instructions to upgrade the PE650 using a floppy disk.

Obama Urges College Kids to Register to Vote
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) -- President Obama made an urgent push to get out the vote in the key battleground state of Ohio Tuesday, urging 15,000 supporters to register before time ran out.
"Today is the last day you can register. Now, I know it's easy to procrastinate in college. I procrastinated a lot," the president jokingly told students at the Ohio State University. "You've got until 9 p.m. tonight. No extensions. No excuses. I know you guys are up at 9 p.m. As you get older, you start thinking about sleeping around 9 p.m., but you guys are just getting started."
Both Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney campaigned in Ohio Tuesday as they compete for the state's critical 18 electoral votes. No Republican has ever been elected president without winning Ohio. After his strong debate performance last week, Romney has ramped up his campaigning in the state.
"All right, Buckeyes. We need you. We need you fired up," Obama said as he spoke alongside a giant "Vote Early" sign. "I need you voting. I need you fired up. I need you ready to go to vote because we've got some work to do. We've got an election to win. Everything that we fought for in 2008 is on the line in 2012. And I need your help to finish what we started."
The president's campaign has worked aggressively over the past three and a half years to boost its ground game in the Buckeye State.
"This is an inherent ground game advantage because we've been building relationships," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters traveling with the president. "We've been signing up grassroots leaders and organizing neighbor-to-neighbor programs. And ultimately we know it's more than what the ads are that are on the airwaves. It's more than the phone call that someone gets from the campaign staff to remind them to go and vote. It's hearing from your neighbor … that it's important to go vote, what the stakes are, and that's always been a focus of our ground game."

Guantánamo's forever captives to make pitch for freedom in secret
The Pentagon has begun notifying would-be observers that it plans to hold the first session of the long-awaited parole-style boards at Guantánamo in secret.
President Barack Obama ordered his administration to set up the so-called Periodic Review Boards March 7, 2011. In July, Defense Department officials said the boards would review the files of 71 Guantánamo prisoners' cases — 46 so-called "indefinite detainees" and 25 men once considered candidates for war crimes trials.
Now, as the administration is poised to hold the first hearing — on Nov. 20 at Guantánamo, with 33-year-old captive Mahmud al Mujahid's plea for release — the Pentagon says it's unprepared to let reporters watch.
The hearings are an updated version of the Bush-era Administrative Review Boards that evaluated not whether a captive met the White House definition of a Guantánamo war prisoner but if it was time to let him go. The International Red Cross has pressed the Obama administration to get them going for years, arguing that a war prisoner has a right to review under the Geneva Conventions, and the lack of a process fed frustration in the camps during this year's long hunger strike.
Mysteriously, the Pentagon's deputy director of detainee affairs, Alan Liotta, framed the coming closed hearings as a time-crunch issue in a Nov. 4 letter to the Human Rights Watch counterterrorism counsel, Andrea Prasow.
On the one hand the Pentagon "is committed to beginning the PRB process as expeditiously and transparently as possible," Liotta wrote of the process Obama ordered.
But the Defense Department was still devising "procedures for granting press access to certain unclassified portions of the PRB hearings." Liotta did not elaborate.
Military sources said that Liotta's boss, the new Pentagon envoy for Guantanamo closure, Paul Lewis, was surprised to discover during a prison camp visit on Nov. 5 that detention center staff had no plans to accommodate the media for the hearings – a cornerstone of Obama's strategy for moving forward. Lewis started the job Nov. 1.
Officials have not been able to explain why the Pentagon is unprepared to fulfill its transparency pledge. First Amendment attorney Dave Schulz said he had been seeking assurances from the Defense Department's Office of General Counsel that reporters would be able to watch captives argue for their freedom since soon after the Pentagon published its 23-page PRB procedures in May 2012.
Observers were allowed to watch, but not talk, during the unclassified hearings of similar panels held during the Bush administration — called Combatant Status Review Tribunals and Administration Review Boards at Guantánamo and Detainee Review Boards at Bagram in Afghanistan. During those hearings, reporters got to listen while detainees challenged the military's reasons for holding them..
Liotta gave no explanation for why the Pentagon couldn't provide the same access for the first hearings, and likewise gave no timetable for any type of transparency. He wrote Nov. 4 that the Pentagon would at some point set up a PRB website to disclose "a declassified transcript of the detainee's statement" — suggesting the military was treating a captive's plea for release as secret until intelligence agents scrubbed them of information the administration does not want the public to know.
It was unclear why the Pentagon was launching its process with Mujahid, a Yemeni man who is listed as one of Guantánamo's 46 indefinite detainees.
Leaked documents show he was brought to the prison in Cuba on suspicion he was one of Osama bin Laden's bodyguards on the day it opened, meaning he's among the 20 men photographed kneeling in a cage in Guantánamo's most iconic and enduring images.
Under the process Obama set up by Executive Order 13567 nearly three years ago, panel members will watch Mujahid and his attorney argue for his release by a closed-circuit video feed. They'll be at a secret location somewhere in the Washington, D.C., area and act as representatives of the Departments of Defense, Justice, State, Homeland Security and National Intelligence Directorate.
At the prison, Navy Cmdr. John Filostrat said Friday that 11prisoners remained on the hunger strike that peaked in June with 106 of the then-166 captives refusing to eat — 44 of them at the time designated by the prison to get restraint-chair forced-feedings if they resisted medical orders.

Egypt religious body: Suspend belly-dancing show
CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's top religious body has demanded a new belly-dancing TV show be suspended for "corrupting morals" and serving "extremists" who could use it as a pretext to depict Egyptian society as anti-Islamic.
A statement Wednesday by Dar al-Ifta, the top body that advises Muslims on religious and life issues, said that the "Dancer" show "serves extremists who take such matters as a justification to promote the idea that society is fighting religion."
The show was aired only once on the Cairo and People satellite television network. A famous belly dancer known as Dina was among a three-member panel to choose the most-talented dancers, many of whom were not Egyptians.
While famed in Middle Eastern countries for centuries, conservatives in Egypt believe belly dancing is immoral.

Lithography-Patterning-Fidelity-Aware Electron-Optical System Design Optimization by Using COMSOL Multiphysics with MATLAB®Sheng-Yung Chen [1], Kuen-Yu Tsai [1]
[1]Dept. of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan
Electron-optical system (EOS) design for lithography provides the inherent advantage of higher resolution and maskless operation relative to optical technology. The use of multiple electron beams yields higher throughput, albeit with greater complexity in focusing, relative to the single beam. The primary goal of this work is to develop equipment, process, and software technologies for MEMS-based maskless e-beam exposure systems. A new EOS design methodology is proposed which directly incorporates lithography patterning fidelity (PF) metrics into the optimization flow.

Kinston man has 58 years in wheel aligning career
A selection of fashionable clothing in bright summer colors is available downtown in a new women�s clothing shop.
Blaire Cooke, 28, opened the Turquoise Boutique on May 4 at 408 N. Herritage St. in The Total Experience Salon & Spa building.
Cooke started the business by posting casual wear and prices on Facebook, then shipping orders to customers. Her customer base grew from a network of friends by word of mouth. Today, her Facebook site gets about 1,000 hits a day.
The Kinston native now shares a space next to the salon where her stepmother Alison Merritt works, and formerly owned with Cooke�s father, Bobby Merritt.
Cooke, the daughter of Susan Colomaio, who owns Olivia�s at Frenchman�s Creek, followed in her parent�s footsteps with the desire to own a business.
�This is just something I�ve always wanted to do,� she said about owning a women�s clothing store.
Cooke said she has four closets full of clothes because when she buys a dress, �I�m only going to wear it a couple of times.�
She said she wanted to offer trendy clothing at affordable prices so customers could get more items for their money.
�Everything is under $100,� Cooke said, adding there is a seven-day exchange policy, as well a dressing room to try before buying.
The store offers dresses, blouses and pants in trendy bright solids, including turquoise � Cooke�s favorite color � and chevron patterns. There is something for all ages.
She also carries Brushfire Designs T-shirts, which feature a colorful cross and bible verse. Sizes are available from extra small to 3X. Accessories include bold jewelry, all under $25, and handbags.
�We get new arrivals each week,� Cooke said. In the fall, she plans to add designer jeans at a reasonable price.
Cooke, a licensed cosmetologist, graduated from Bethel Christian Academy in 2003 and Cape Fear Cosmetology School in 2005.
Turquoise Boutique is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. For information, call 919-750-1405.

At 83 years old, Burnie Braxton has been in the wheel aligning business for 58 years and is still going strong.
Before being drafted into the U.S. Army, Bob Poovey, now deceased, told Braxton to come see him for a job when he got out of the military. And that�s just what Braxton did.
On June 15, 1955, he began changing tires and working on brakes at Kinston Wheel Aligning on U.S. 70.
�I learned how to align a car,� he said, �and anything that came up, I did.�
When Poovey passed away in 1961, Braxton and Floyd Casey took over the business. In 1967, Braxton bought the business out.
The spring before Hurricane Floyd hit, he moved the shop, now called Kinston Wheel Aligning Service, to its present location at 1427 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., across from Mallard Oil Company. That turned out to be a good decision.
�Had my dad been in the old location,� wrote his daughter, Sharon Stanley, in an email, �he would have lost everything, as that area was deeply damaged by flooding.�
Stanley has been keeping the books for the business for about 35 years, Braxton said.
Today, the business has five employees. Services include front-end work, brakes, CV axils and wheel aligning. The work has become more technical over the years, Braxton said. But the customers keep increasing.
�We�re honest,� he said is the reason, �and we do good work.� The work is guaranteed.
Braxton can�t do the muscle work anymore, but he runs for parts, provides customer service and oversees the business aspects. He said he has no intentions of retiring.
�I always enjoy working,� he said. �That�s my favorite � just working.�
Kinston Wheel Aligning Service is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For information, call 252-523-5987.

The Elegant porch ceiling lights intended for Inspire
Sitting over a dark porch is never fun; it can be a little creepy also. That's the reason you should choose Porch Light. These signals come in a multitude of sizes and shapes so you will see the best someone to fit your d?cor. Deciding on the best light for your porch There are many things to consider whenever choosing the best light fixture. The foremost is how much light would you like to be on your porch? Locating the correct measured light is vital. Buying the one that is to big will light not only your porch however, many of your area. Purchasing one to small won't light your complete porch and there it's still some dark locations. It will always be a good idea to buy multiple small porch signals and hook them up to the sides in the within of the porch. You also could buy a more substantial porch light and hang up it in the center of the porch. When your space is large enough you can put a stand and chair under the light. This will provide you with a great space to throw a celebration, or have an enchanting evening outdoors.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Trevor Story showed signs of snapping out of his early season funk over the weekend, even as the Colorado Rockies shortstop whiffed over and over against the Washington Nationals.
The proof arrived Monday night at frigid PNC Park after he quickly fell behind Pittsburgh starter Steven Brault with two runners on in the fourth inning. Story worked the count even, and when Brault's 82 mph slider didn't end up in the dirt as Brault planned, Story's hitless skid was over.
Story turned on Brault's offering and sent it into the bleachers in left field for a three-run home run that propelled the Rockies to a 6-2 victory over the Pirates. Story later added a single for just his second multihit game of the season, boosting his average from .177 to .200.
''There are a lot of hidden things that go into hitting but, for me, it's just trying to keep consistent, especially in my cage work, my pregame work,'' Story said. ''You're going to have ups and downs in this game, and you've got to be able to handle them.''
Story endured the downs against the Nationals, going 1 for 15 with 10 strikeouts even as Colorado took three of four from the NL East favorites. The up came when he waited out Brault (2-1), who knew he was in trouble the moment the ball left his left hand.
''It was one of those `Oh, I just hope that he doesn't hit me' kind of things,'' Brault said. ''It's going to happen.''
Charlie Blackmon added his team-leading seventh home run for Colorado. The Rockies have won five of six overall and are 8-2 in their last 10 games away from Coors Field.
German Marquez (1-1) held the Pirates without a hit until a one-out triple by Francisco Cervelli in the fifth. He left after six innings, giving up two runs, two hits and two walks with six strikeouts. Marquez wore sleeves to fight off a wind chill that dipped into the mid-20s after opting to go sleeveless in the cold against Atlanta earlier this season.
''I was a lot smarter about dealing with the cold,'' Marquez said. ''I made sure I kept warm between innings. The trainers gave me hand warmers and hot towels and I used them to make sure my hands stay warm.''
Brault met his first serious bump since being thrust into the rotation as a stop-gap while Joe Musgrove deals with a strained right shoulder. The Rockies touched him for two runs in the first and three more on Story's blast. Brault pitched a season-high six innings, allowing five runs, five hits and two walks but only managed one strikeout.
''We did a really good job of getting ahead, got to 0-2 and that was almost my kryptonite tonight,'' Brault said. ''I had the two walks and the home run from the 0-2 count and that just can't happen.''
Corey Dickerson extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single in the seventh for the Pirates. Colin Moran added a sacrifice fly, but the surprising Pirates cooled off a bit.
Newly acquired reliever Enny Romero found plenty of familiar faces in the Pittsburgh clubhouse after the Pirates claimed the left-hander off waivers from Washington on Saturday to bolster its bullpen.
Romero spent four seasons in the minors with Pittsburgh closer Felipe Vazquez and became familiar with Marte, Polanco and Ivan Nova while they were all growing up in the Dominican Republic. The Pirates are hoping Romero can provide some stability to a bullpen that has been the one of the few issues during their hot start.
Romero appeared in a career-high 53 games last season for the Nationals but struggled in his two appearances with Washington this year before being released.
Pirates: Musgrove is scheduled for a bullpen session Thursday. The 25-year-old, acquired from Houston as part of the trade that sent Gerrit Cole to the Astros, has been dealing with right shoulder issues since the start of spring training.
Rockies: Chad Bettis (2-0, 2.04 ERA) gave up one run and three hits over seven innings last Thursday against Washington. Bettis is 0-2 with a 6.26 ERA in six appearances against the Pirates.
Pirates: Trevor Williams (3-0, 1.56) has won three straight decisions for the first time in his career and is 3-1 with a 1.15 ERA in his last five starts at PNC Park.

Releases of oil and hazardous materials are regulated separately under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA). However, both mandate the development of contingency plans, and there is significant overlap in the type and scope of information required to do so. In order to minimize confusion and maximize resources, the two contingency plans are combined in this document as an Integrated Contingency Plan (RCP/ACP). In order to meet some of the requirements of OPA, subarea plans are developed separately, but will be referenced in this RCP/ACP.
This RCP/ACP fulfills the requirements of Sections 300.210(b) and (c) of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) and Section 311(j)(4) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as well as relevant portions of the National Response Framework, particularly Emergency Support Function #10—Hazardous Materials (ESF #10). The RCP/ACP is designed to coordinate Timely and effective response among
to minimize damage resulting from releases of oil or hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants.
The plan describes response protocols and assists in providing a coordinated response capability in the event of a release or spill that poses a threat to the environment or to human health and welfare.
The initial actions taken by the OSC and/or other appropriate personnel should be to determine whether proper response actions have already been initiated. In general, if the party or parties responsible for the release or spill do not take appropriate actions, or if the party or parties responsible for the release or spill are unknown, the local response community or State agencies will become involved. If Federal assistance is requested or required, the OSC shall respond, implement provisions of the NCP and applicable agency guidance, and coordinate activities as outlined in this RCP/ACP.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — It was hard not to feel for the kid, watching the skinny prospect as he stood there with an injured oblique, valiantly promising to take the ball for his next start.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — It was hard not to feel for the kid, watching the skinny prospect as he stood there with an injured oblique, valiantly promising to take the ball for his next start.
It was hard not to panic, wondering how much time Zack Wheeler will miss after taking a few seemingly harmless swings in the batting cage.
Wheeler left an organization and its fan base hovering around the panic button Wednesday morning. The franchise's best pitching prospect hurt himself hitting.
A routine session in the batting cage courted tightness in Wheeler's oblique, forcing the Mets to pull the plug on his starting assignment less than 90 minutes before Wednesday afternoon's 12-4 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
"You don't want to get hurt, especially during spring training when I'm trying to prove myself a little bit," Wheeler said before the game. "But like I said, I don't want to be out two months. I just want to be out one start."
Any other player besides Johan Santana and a skipped start might be a footnote. But Wheeler is not any other player. With a prospect of this caliber, every bug bite is reason enough to sound the alarm.
The Mets were calling the injury a mild right oblique strain. GM Sandy Alderson told reporters there is no timetable yet, but said the decision to sit Wheeler was "mostly precautionary at this point." Wheeler said he intends to make his next start, but manager Terry Collins wants to exercise caution.
"We've got to be very careful," Collins said. "We're not going to do anything to hurt this guy."
The injury happened just hours before Wheeler was set to face Cardinals slugger Carlos Beltran — the player the Mets shipped to the Giants to obtain Wheeler in 2011. The two players exchanged handshakes before the game.
Wheeler said there was no single swing that triggered the injury. He said he has never had an issue with his oblique. He peppered his answers to reporters' questions with several permutations of the phrase "not that serious."
"It was a little stiff," Wheeler said. "You don't want to risk anything. Still got a month, month and a half left."
Collins said Wheeler was taking the same series of swings his pitchers take on a daily basis. But now Wheeler has an injury that plenty of other players — including David Wright — have suffered during their tenure with the Mets.

I am just an almost-professional photographer, just building my portfolio and doing some engagement and individual sessions here and there. Is there a place online (USA preferably) where I can purchase inexpensive photo packaging such as PORTRAIT CASES, without buying in bulk? I prefer plain and simple, with NO fancy ribbons or anything, because I will be doing my own special packaging. I just need the basic portrait cases or boxes.
The starter packs have too many, and are too expensive. I have tried Rice Studio, and HB or whatever it is, and DNL. I like DNLphoto.com and their portrait cases.
I am just looking at maybe UNDER 25 pieces, or just a couple of 5x7, couple of 8x10, few 4x6.

Hijabi Barbie
Since my post about ASOS's advert for their range of little-black-dress Barbies got picked up by Sociological Images and Jezebel (thanks Lisa!) Barbie, and all that she stands for, has been preying on my mind. So, I was happily surprised to see Barbie all dolled-up (groan) in a hijab and gracing the cover of Muslim Lifestyle magazine Emel ('M-L'… geddit?!).
This issue of Emel takes a look at what it's like to grow up as a Muslim in a world obsessed with body image. With incidents of anorexia on the rise for Muslim girls, and Iran becoming the nose-job capital of the world, Emel asks; 'How can we stop Muslim women turning into little more than Hijabi Barbies?'
In her introduction to the series of articles around this global search for body 'perfection', Sarah Joseph writes;
Taking on the hijab made sense for a whole host of other reasons. The hijab for me was the antithesis of the beauty fascism that had surrounded me since birth. The hijab represented not just a religious injunction, but a weapon in the war against an industry that demanded women reach unattainable goals of beauty and weight. The hijab was the Muslim equivalent of burning the bra and cutting off the hair.
There are more interesting articles to read; Tahereh Hadian meets the Iranian women 'paying through the nose' for cosmetic surgery, Aisha Mirza explores what Barbie means for The Beauty Myth, and Sarah Joseph examines the new dolls looking to take their share of the Muslim market.
All fascinating reading, but these are all just online tasters. To read the full articles you'll need to buy the latest issue of Emel which can be done here for just £3.50 and free P&P.By: Sarah Barnes, 21.03.2010 | Comments (0)

Three College of Arts and Architecture faculty and staff members were honored with awards for outstanding service earlier this year: Mark Lusk, professor of music (trombone), received the Faculty Award for Outstanding Teaching; Eric McKee, associate professor of music theory, received the Award for Excellence in Advising and Mentoring; and Lorraine Reitz, administrative support coordinator, Stuckeman School, received the Staff Award for Outstanding Service.
A member of the School of Music faculty since 1986, Mark Lusk has been so successful in recruiting trombone majors that he has assumed a voluntary teaching overload for many years. According to Sue Haug, director of the School of Music, his work with the Trombone Choir is a stellar example of his teaching success. Under his guidance and tutelage, the Trombone Choir's performances have contributed in many ways to the school's visibility and reputation. His reputation as a teacher-performer and his contacts in the profession have resulted in his being invited to serve as an artist/clinician with the Courtois Instrument Company. In addition to giving Lusk and his students access to quality instruments, it provides travel support and outreach activities, including participating in area band festivals.
Lusk has been recognized by his trombone students, who have repeatedly given his teaching the highest rating; alumni who consistently return to campus for his events; and colleagues who appreciate him as "a consummate musician, caring and compassionate teacher, and a tireless worker." One alumnus reflected that "so much of Mark's teaching is based on his greatest cherished principle: 'We're all in this boat together.' Getting on board that boat has turned out to be one of my best decisions."
Described as a hands-on advisor, helping students to develop their topics through the kind of patient conversation and exploration for which there is no substitute nor shortcut, Eric McKee has developed a prodigious and loyal following of students, current and former. Add to the mix the respect of his fellow faculty members, and he is continuously sought out for advice and guidance. McKee joined the faculty in 1992. In addition to serving as an advisor for the School of Music's Bachelor of Arts in Music degree program, he teaches foundational courses in music theory, taken by all undergraduate music majors, as well as upper level special topics music theory classes and a general education course (film music).
Charles Youmans, associate professor of musicology and fellow advisor, attests to McKee's dedication to his students and the school. "Along with his regular duties as one of two B.A. advisors, he has served in the past two years on four Schreyer Honors thesis committees; four B.A. senior project committees; six B.M. student recital committees; three M.A. thesis committees; three M.M. paper committees; ten graduate oral exam committees; four M.M. recital committees; two Ph.D. dissertation committees; and three Ph.D. comprehensive exam committees. The word is obviously out, and we might regard him as a victim of his own success if it were not clear that he thrives on this work."
When Lorraine Reitz started in 2012 as the administrative support coordinator for the H. Campbell and Eleanor R. Stuckeman School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture. Nathaniel Belcher, director of the Stuckeman School, praised her: "Lorraine has worked tirelessly to create an inclusive and healthy environment. She has maintained a positive management style in the face of some dramatic events and requests."
Repeatedly praised for always meeting every challenge with grace and patience, Reitz serves as an advocate and counselor to the staff while skillfully guiding the faculty through policies and procedures, and maintaining an atmosphere of cooperation and efficiency.

There have been witches hanging around GriggsDakota.
Above is our favorite Halloween treat. A disposable glove stuffed with candy. They are simple to make. Here I have pushed a sucker into each glove finger. Filling each finger gives the hand personality. Use anything that fits easily into them and would make a good treat. Today I filled the palm with candies, but a juice box fits here, as well. Close it with a rubber band or ribbon. We have made hundreds of these over the years.
Tomorrow is Field Man Joe's Birthday. His friends still remember this treat that we made every year to celebrate his special day with a Halloween theme.
There will soon be vampires and perhaps a Ninja turtle joining the witches in the area.
I expect to see a few ghosts from the seventies on the prowl.
Be vigilant. Sometimes the monsters are too excited to be careful.
Happy Halloween from the scary folks at GriggsDakota.

Her story is beautifully written and inserts you to the time of her struggles. For the free spirits and deep feelers, you really connect with Stephie and how the whimsically different thirteen year old didn't quite fit in. Raw and wistful, LaCava's writing style captures the emotions perfectly and gives you a feeling of understanding.
She narrates in objects, opening up her cabinet of curiosities, removing each precious item one by one as they appear and tie into her story. Each object is poetically illustrated by Matthew Nelson and has a footnote in which she gives a small anecdote of its history or importance. These stories and her memoirs combine "to make sense of the nonsensical."
I've posted excerpts from my Vogue Paris translation below along with a few images from the article. For those who prefer to read in French, see the piece on Vogue.fr. And for those in Paris, Stephanie LaCava will actually be holding a few book signings in the coming weeks at Bookmarc and Shakespeare & Co. Dates and times are posted at the bottom along with a link to buy the book.
I am very excited. "Consider the source."
Stephanie LaCava: Memoirs of an Outsider in Paris
In December, New York's fashion and literary scene applauded fashion journalist, blogger and contemporary art activist, Stephanie LaCava and her adolescent memoirs, "An Extraordinary Theory of Objects - A Memoir of an Outsider in Paris". The recount of her years spent with her family just outside of Paris in Le Vésinet, France, as a teenager has steadily gathered a stylish fan club which has followed the author to her book signings from Miami to New York. Coping with her family's expatriation to Paris in the 1990s, the young American cultivated a veritable cabinet of curiosities with intimate, spellbinding objects including a carved scrimshaw whale's tooth, iridescent beetle shells, an old skeleton key and a spotted, red-capped mushroom. The book studies her semi-baroque, semi-grunge reliquary through descriptive passages and a clandestine collection of illustrations.
"As humans, we crave beauty and we attempt to hold onto this experience through physical evidence," she muses.
Promoting the release of her memoir, Stephanie LaCava directed two trailers which were revealed on YouTube. The first, Realism Deficieny, was filmed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman of Catfish, Paranormal Activity 3 and 4, and featured a snake in homage to the eccentric Marchesa Casati who refused to leave the house without her living snakes wrapped around her as jewelry. The second is a lyrical amble through scenes and images created by the independent filmmaker and Sundance Film Festival favorite, Ry Russo-Young.The next signings by Stephanie LaCava in Paris:
January 23 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM - Bookmarc, 17 Place du Marché St-Honoré, 75001
February 1 at 7:00 PM - Shakespeare & Co bookshop, 37 Rue de la Bûcherie, 75005

Oh summer, you circus of sensory pleasures! For months, the land is blindingly green, bright blossoms flag down honeybees and butterflies, and our fleece jackets sit on indoor hooks looking sort of archaic while we imbibe sunshine like Charlie Sheen on a bender.
Our outside days are numbered. But even as the sun cashes out earlier and earlier each night, I am comforted by the predictability of seasons. Because it doesnt matter how much Im wringing my mind over stuffing little limbs into snowsuits, our planet is tilting away from the sun right on schedule. And like photo-editing software, this realization resizes my place in this universe, cropping me down to where I belong. No matter what my mind is clinging to or pushing away, in October, the northern half of this big blue ball reclines away from the sun and the aspen trees explode into a thousand yellow pieces.
And its a clever trick, this last flare-up such epic gorgeousness, its like taking Rose to the all-you-can-eat mac-and-cheese bar before breaking the news that its kale salad for the next five months.
We took the kids on our annual fall trip, clearing everything off the calendar for this one day, and you could almost hear the clunk of work and deadlines thudding to the floor.
As we walked through the aspen groves, I had one of those moments where the world shrinks to a spotlight illuminating this day, and Im present enough to realize that right now, everything is good in a simple and straightforward way. Our family unit is still an uncontested force everyone believes in. The kids smiles are free of any real heartbreak.
In a contest between looking good and having fun, there is no contest. Col delves straight into the mud puddles soon as hes sprung from the car. Rose is both old enough to hike a good distance, but young enough to turn to me and say, Can you hold my hat while I run like a pony?
I kept focusing my camera in on something like the yellow leaf ornaments decorating Christmasy spruce trees and not actually snapping a picture, realizing I just wanted to see it again, to mark it in my memory before everything changes. Which is exactly how I feel about our family right now. Here we are, still belonging sweetly to each other before the bigger world, appropriately, lures the kids away.
After a dinner of burgers, fries and milkshakes, the kids fell asleep on the way home, evoking all the sweetness and innocence that rises to the top of sleeping children everywhere. Dan and I did a lot of happy sighing, acknowledging that winter is the Next Thing Coming, and thats OK. Im looking forward to the seasonal shift toward indoor creativity, and for the time, as Dan says, to digest the big meal of summer.

Moguls and Aerials Teams Come Together for Utah Training
PARK CITY, UT (Nov. 29) – While chasing snow across the globe, both moguls and aerials teams, including Heather McPhie, Bryon Wilson and Dylan Ferguson discovered the best snow right in their backyard. Snowbird Ski Resort and the Utah Olympic Park (UOP) have been hosting the U.S. Freestyle Team for some of their final pre-season training. It's a rare opportunity to have both teams training at the same site but with world class venues in Utah, it was a no brainer. The moguls team took advantage of their access to Snowbird before meeting up with the aerials crew at the UOP. The UOP was able to rebuild the aerials single, the double and the moguls site all in one day for the teams to use. The World Cup season kicks off in Ruka, Finland on Dec. 15 and moves to the U.S. on Jan. 19-21 for the USANA U.S. Freestyle Cup in Lake Placid, NY followed by the Visa Freestyle International Feb. 2-4 in Deer Valley, UT.
- The moguls and aerials teams are based in Park City, UT to take advantage of the on snow training resources at Snowbird Resort and the Utah Olympic Park.
- World Cup podium finishers including Heather McPhie (Bozeman, MT), Dylan Ferguson (Amesbury, MA), Emily Cook (Belmont, MA) and Eliza Outtrim (Hamden, CT) are all participating in the camp
- The Utah Olympic Park has a single, double and moguls site available for the team.
- The World Cup season kicks off Dec. 15 in Ruka, Finland.
- Domestic events include the USANA U.S. Freestyle Cup in Lake Placid, NY, Jan. 19-21 followed by the Visa Freestyle International Feb. 2-4 in Deer Valley, UT.
Todd Schirman (Freestyle Program Director)
We are very fortunate to have partners like the Utah Olympic Park, Snowbird and Winter Park. Conditions have been challenging and all three sites were very accommodating and creative to support the Team in their training efforts. The Utah Olympic Park has been outstanding in meeting the needs of the Moguls and Aerials Teams, this has allowed the Coaches and Athletes to collaborate their knowledge while taking full advantage of the Center of Excellence.
Dylan Ferguson (Aerials athlete)
UOP training has been great so far. It is awesome that the UOP is so helpful in getting the site up and running. This is an awesome opportunity to see some improvements from the young development athletes. Right now we have the mogul and aerial teams training at the UOP and to say the least the both teams are killing it!
Eliza Outtrim (Moguls athlete)
Training as an entire team has been really great. It's an awesome opportunity to get everyone together before the season kicks off and to be able to train at a place most of us are so familiar with makes it even better.
