Damaged Boerasirie Dam could be repaired in four days
– Agriculture Ministry
Works to repair a damaged section of the Boerasirie Water Conservancy Dam, East Bank Essequibo, could be completed within four days, authorities say.
The dam is the main line of defense between scores of homes and the millions of gallons of water in the conservancy that stretches from West Bank Demerara to Parika, East Bank Essequibo.
Yesterday, officials said that they believe heavy trucks and cars may have contributed to the dam crumbling in a section.
An estimated 200 structures that were illegally constructed on the dam have been removed and punts have been placed strategically to block the entrance.
Yesterday, officials of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Guyana Sugar Corporation and National Drainage and Irrigation Authority visited the conservancy to check on works.
Fortunately, the section of the dam that had slipped was not on the side of the conservancy but on the opposite side where a façade drain is.
Yesterday, an excavator and a hymac were busy building a buttress or "pall-off" to prevent further slippage and reinforce the dam.
According to Minister of Agriculture, Robert Persaud, the repairs could take up to four days and cost around $11M.
He expressed worry that the excessive rainfall could place more pressure on the dam, a situation that is not unusual for other water conservancies across the country.
NDIA and other regional bodies have been mandated to carry out 24 hours monitoring on the dams across the country, but according to the Minister, residents as well have the responsibility to report any problems.
Questioned about accusations that residents had reported problems of the dams to rangers, the Minister did not doubt this and warned that any drainage and irrigation worker found lapsing would be disciplined.
A number of piles were being driven into the ground yesterday as materials were also rushed to the area.
According to Persaud, his ministry and other agencies are standing up and would have made arrangements for such an eventuality.

Our health system colleagues — students, staff and faculty — may not be able to make it to the Davis campus for the giant heart formation, but they'll be celebrating UC Davis Wears Red Day in their own ways.
A team led by Tim Maurice, the UC Davis Health System's chief financial officer and a board member of the American Heart Association's Sacramento Division, announced a number of activities, including:
- A noontime walk, beginning at the Education Building.
- A series of 20-Minute Heart Talks on heart disease prevention, at the main hospital and the Lawrence J. Ellison Ambulatory Care Center.
- Special heart-healthy meal options in the medical center and Ellison building cafes.
Maurice encourages health system staff and teams to create their own ways — big and small — to recognize UC Davis Wears Red Day. Pediatrics, for example, has partnered with Build-A-Bear Workshop and a private donor to provide hospitalized children with almost-finished stuffed bears — each child will complete his or her bear by adding a heart.
"Wear Red Day provides a great opportunity to highlight the importance of caring for your heart on every day of the year — for yourself and for everyone who is important to you," Maurice said.
UC Davis studies the heart, treats the heart and promotes heart health in a big, big way, to be demonstrated Friday, Feb. 7, when thousands of students, staff and faculty will try to set a new world record for largest heart formation.
This show of force against heart disease — the No. 1 killer in the United States — will be happening on the first UC Davis Wears Red Day, coinciding with National Wear Red Day, sponsored annually by the Heart Truth Campaign and the American Heart Association to raise awareness of heart disease as the leading cause of death among women.
We're hoping to see 12,000 people in the heart formation — so come join in, and bring your colleagues with you! We've invited everyone on campus and everyone in the surrounding community to help us make our giant heart, and to attend the Battle Heart Disease Fair afterward.
Here's everything you need to know about the day's activities, starting with our attempt to beat the 4-year-old Guinness World Record of 11,166 people in a heart formation.
- Start gathering at 11:30 a.m., Hutchison Intramural Field, adjacent to the west entry parking garage; please walk or bike.
- Wear a special-edition UC Davis red T-shirt (details below) or something else red.
- You don't need to miss your lunch: food will be for sale (including heart-healthy options).
- Official photo-taking at 12:30 p.m.
- Use our Facebook event page to tell us you're coming!
After that, we'll have the third annual Battle Heart Disease Fair, organized by the Alpha Pi Sigma sorority.
- 1-4 p.m., The Pavilion (adjacent to the Hutchison IM Field).
- The program includes a welcome from Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi, and a talk by UC Davis alumna Jessica M. Núñez de Ybarra, M.D. '97, a public health medical officer supervisor at the California Department of Public Health, addressing common heart-related illnesses and preventive measures.
- Information tables and health screenings, sponsored by various organizations.
- A performance by the Nigerian Student Dance Group.
- Free and open to the public.
- Check out the Battle Heart Disease Fair Facebook page.
UC Davis heart T-shirts are available now at all UC Davis Stores, including the Sacramento branch, and you'll also be able to buy the shirts on the Hutchison IM Field around the time of the giant heart formation.
- Short-sleeved in adult and youth sizes, $5.
- Long-sleeved and women's V-neck (short-sleeved), $8.
- They're also available online.
- $1 from every sale goes to the UC Davis Women's Cardiovascular Medicine Program.
- For departmental orders, contact Carol Swafford or Sarah Brodberg by email.
- Extra bonus (good on Feb. 7 only): Wear your shirt and you'll get discounts at all UC Davis Stores and in all dining commons (for heart healthy meals, of course).
UC Davis Wears Red Day organizers will have a table at this weekend's Davis Farmers Market, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 1) at Central Park, Third and C streets. The organizers will promote the upcoming heart health awareness event, and UC Davis Stores representatives will be on hand with T-shirts for sale.
Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi's UC Davis Wears Red Day announcement.
Feb. 7 isn't just about wearing red: The chancellor is encouraging departments to showcase their work against heart disease. Tell us what your unit is doing.
Record-breaking heart formation: Use our Facebook event page to tell us you're coming!
Alpha Pi Sigma's Battle Heart Disease Fair is also on Facebook.

Devils trying not to succumb to their frustration; Salmela's recovery "going really well"
The Devils are clearly frustrated. And who can blame them?
They are last overall in the NHL with a 4-10-2 record and 10 points and have yet to win a game this season at Prudential Center, where they are 0-5-2.
At what point, however, is the frustration surpassed by the thought that maybe this is as good as the Devils are going to be this season?
"I don't think we can believe that," goaltender Martin Brodeur said. "If we believe that, we're going to be in a lot more trouble than we're in right now. We believe that we're a good team. We believe we're going to get out of it. We need to take a long road. In our game, in our mental game, a lot of damage was made by not playing well and not scoring goals and a lot of things and you've got to get through that. Step by step, we're playing better and we've just got to start winning."
"They say your record is who you are," Devils coach John MacLean said. "But, we also believe in this team that we'll be able to turn it around and get it going in the right direction."
For now, though, they're stuck with being frustrated.
"It is frustration, that's for sure, because we feel we're a lot better than what we're showing," Brodeur said. "I think every time you feel you have a team that can compete, score a lot of goals and have a good power play, it's tough when you look at our team stats. It just builds up. Wins will follow everything: team stats, defensive stats, power play, PK. That's why you always have to look at the big picture in the season to really look at what kind of team you have. But right now we're dealing with being put in a hole from the get-go and it's somewhat hard to get out of it."
Brodeur said he always has the best seat to watch how the team is playing from inside his crease. He got a little bit of a different perspective watching the two games from a luxury box because of bruised right elbow the prevented him from playing. What did he see in Wednesday night's 5-4 shootout loss to Buffalo?
"I think the timeout Johnny took really woke up the guys and we played really well from that point," Brodeur said. "It was five minutes of the game that we were a little shaky and they scored two goals. That's what the thing is. You've got to play 60 minutes and that's what we talked about this morning. We have an opportunity to get our first win at home tomorrow (against Edmonton) and we don't want to miss it. They're playing in Detroit tonight and we have to take somewhat advantage of that and come out strong and get some positive out of our game."
Defenseman Anssi Salmela participated today in his first full practice since having surgery in early June to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a torn meniscus in his right knee. Salmela was injured while playing for Finland in a World Championships tune-up tournament last spring.
He was happy to get on the ice with his teammates today after skating on his own for three weeks.
"I'm really excited getting back and practicing with the team because praciticing with yourself is kind of boring," he said. "It's a lot of skating and a lot of hard work working with our strength coach (Mike Vasalani) and (medical trainer Rich) Stinziano and those guys. So, I'm really excited and I'm trying to get back as soon I as can."
Salmela said he thinks his recovery is a little bit ahead of schedule. When I asked him how much longer it will take before he's ready to play, he said, "It's usually six months after the surgery, so maybe December was the first thought, but now I'm feeling really good. I feel good on the ice and now I started to get some contact and I don't feel any issues now. But, at the same time, I have to be smart and listen to what's going on. I'm not quite ready yet, but it's going really well. "

Out of boredom I checked in on the "Campus Life" forum to see what might be happening. They are talking about tearing down the Armory. Guess I presumed it had fallen down decades ago. Anyone else around who attended BB games there? You think Hilton is loud. The noise created when everyone in the upper levels started stomping on the steal plate flooring was incredible. It only held 6 or 7 thousand, but the noise was confined and it really got loud. Also remember the fridgid walk back across the old "drill field" to my room in Westgate.
Anyone know where some pictures of the inside during a game are? Would like to see state gym also.
Anyone with old editions of the "Bomb" and a scan capability should be able to come up with several good pictures. The 58 Bomb has pictures of John Crawford and Wilt on the floor in the Armory. Am going to get my taxes done tomorrow. Depending on how I make out, I may upgrade and will then be able to scan in some of my late 50s-early 60s pictures.

I would LOVE to see pictures of games in the Armory.

well if u have a chance to see the 150yrs of bball dvd then u get to see some of those things.. as far as pictures idk..
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
If you're near campus, the walls of the staircases in State Gym have old pictures of events in Beyer, State, and the Armory. Some are "real" games I believe but most are things like the intramural championships from the early-mid 1900s
The other day Ohio St. played in their old gym due to a Springsteen concert. I thought it would be cool to see one game in the armory.
I've always found this stuff sort of interesting. I've spent many hours searching through pictures/videos of Iowa basketball games at the Fieldhouse, and I did run across something on ISU in the Armory.
It's amazing the history that can be found in some of these run-down old buildings. it would be a shame if they tear down the Armory.

Pretty sure the noise from the Armory cost me some hearing in my later years! Loudest I ever heard the place was a wrestling meet between Ok St and ISU--ended in a 12/12 tie (8 wrestlers/team). Twas a blast!!! Top wrestlers from that meet for ISU were the "pin twins": Gordon Hassman and Tom Peckham. Yep, a lot of memories came out of that building!

Yes, I was at that meet. Hassman was supposedly riding (I can't recall his name) but was nearly reversed and in jeopardy of being pinned. Hassman had (I still can't remember his name)'s ankle so no reversal points were awarded but Hassman's shoulders were near the mat. The ref was watching for the pin and, due to the tremendous noise, could not hear the buzzer go off. The timekeepers threw a towel but missed the ref and he didn't see it so the action continued. Another towel missed and finally someone had to walk out on the map and nudge the ref to let him know that time had expired. They must have wrestled an extra 15 to 20 seconds.
Yes, that was LOUD!!!!
Will will win!
even walking through the armory today, one can quickly imagine how cool it would have been to watch an event there
I would hate to see them tear down the armory. What are they using it for these days. In my day they had a lot of ROTC activities and also the University Rec Services in there.
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
I wonder what they would do with all the design students and ROTC programs if they tore it down. I would hate to see it go - one of the better years of my life (the year I spent as a pre-arch major) was spent in the armory - better than any class at the College of Design building
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things." - Tyrion Lannister
"Success is just failure that hasn't happened yet." - life advice from Latrell Spreewell
I will chain myself to the armory. They better now tear it down. I spent many a day there.

Petaluma's HenHouse Brewing could increase production as much as 26-fold under a deal with the newly opened Petaluma Hills Brewing Co.
HenHouse founder Collin McDonnell said this week that the 2-year-old brewery has just received federal approval for an "alternating proprietorship" with Petaluma Hills, which opened last month, allowing him access to that brewery's new 10-barrel brewing system on days when it is not in use.
That will allow production to jump from around 80 barrels per year to as many as 2,000.
Financial details were not released, but McDonnell said it was a win for both companies. Petaluma Hills owner JJ Jay will get extra income to defray the cost of his new brewhouse on North McDowell Boulevard, and HenHouse gets an affordable way to ramp up production and save money to build its own brewhouse.
McDonnell said HenHouse hopes to move into its own facility in about two years, though the two breweries have the option to extend the joint operation beyond that time if necessary.

The Surly site lists a few extras that come with the LHT (clear chainstay protector, die extruded cables with anti-rattle donuts, full CPSC reflector kit, generic owner's manual).
Mine didn't come with the reflector kit or the owner's manual. No reflectors at all on my bike.
Did anyone else get them?

Duration 00:36:57
Date recorded 30 August 2011
Human visual scene understanding is remarkable: with only a brief glance at an image, an abundance of information is available, including scene category, 3D spatial structure, and the identity of the main objects in the scene. In the last two decades, there has been much progress towards building computer systems that have general visual perception ability. In the first part of the talk, I will present results of scene recognition on a new database with an exhaustive set of scene categories. When hundreds of categories become available, for the first time, we can test the performance of global features to classify scenes into categories covering most of the places encountered by humans. We evaluate numerous state-of-the-art algorithms for scene recognition, establish new bounds of computer performance, and compare them with human performance. In the second part of the talk, I will show that scene understanding seems to be mature enough for real world application in certain domains. I will demonstrate results on semantic segmentation of street-view images into buildings, trees, etc. I will also showcase several possible applications for scene understanding, including 3D reconstruction of building mesh models, prediction of how memorable an image is, and extrapolation of an image beyond its boundaries. This is joint work with Antonio Torralba, Long Quan, Aude Oliva, James Hays, Krista Ehinger and Phillip Isola.

Trying to fire up the crowd at Saturday night's Palm Beach County Democratic Party fundraising dinner, County Commissioner Burt Aaronson suggested a new way of dealing with President Obama's foes:
"You know, if a ballplayer threw a game and they get caught, they go to jail. Well, what are we going to do to the Republicans who are throwing the country?
"They're throwing our country, and they all should be put in jail for what they're doing, because they're destroying our country, because they said at the beginning our one mission is to get rid of President Obama. That was their mission. They don't care how much they destroy other people. They don't care whether you go to work. They don't care about anything.
"All they want to do is destroy the president. And in destroying the president of the United States, you destroy our country. They should be put in jail, each and every one of them, for throwing the country."

Poetry and Young People: Four Professionals from the Literature Sector Look at How Their Interlinking Projects Aim to Investigate and Strengthen Young People's Engagement with Poetry through Informal and Digital Opportunities
The Young Poets Network
Angel Dahouk, the Poetry Society
The Poetry Society is 101 years old. It is one of the longest established poetry institutions in Britain which, from its very beginnings, has placed education at the heart of its work in promoting a 'more general recognition and appreciation of poetry'.
Today, the Poetry Society works extensively with poetry in education: placing poets in the classroom and beyond, working with both qualified and trainee teachers through Poetryclass, and offering a range of competitions and mentoring for young people including the Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award and SLAMbassadors UK. The Poetry Society also runs bespoke projects such as the Look North More Often initiative, in partnership with the Royal Norwegian Embassy. Aimed at primary school children, this initiative takes the Trafalgar Square Christmas tree as inspiration for thinking and writing around themes of peace and friendship, as well as introducing children to the history of the annual gift and allowing them the opportunity to learn about a different culture through poetry.
2011 is, of course, a very different world to 1909, and the cultural needs of young people are ever changing. In its former years, the Poetry Society printed and distributed a quarterly journal called The Voice of Youth--in one edition, Enid Blyton set a poetry writing challenge which took the rather fluffy theme of 'kittens'. Today, the Society publishes an online ezine called YM, showcasing poems and articles written by our youth members, and taking the more elusive themes of 'crash' and 'beasts'. Once notorious for its verse speaking awards, today the Society stages spoken word competitions. The essence of poetry has not changed; it remains about language, exploration, self-expression and social commentary. But the way in which we read, write, connect and consume poetry has completely transformed as a result of the digital age. At the Poetry Society, the belief continues that new media can be a creative and empowering means by which young people can learn, network and develop.
This belief forms the basis of the Young Poets Network which has received funding from the Poetry and Young People Project. Working in collaboration with digital literature organisation if:book, the Young Poets Network is a new initiative dedicated to developing young people's informal engagement with poetry. A new interactive online resource will build a community base for both the poetry sector to publicise their activities, and for young people to search and access poetry opportunities available to them. The Young Poets Network recognises that, while young people may have the encouragement and support of parents and teachers, they are also engaging with literacy in creative ways beyond the realm of formal education. The website will also serve as a platform to experiment with new digital content enabling young people to connect directly with poets and professionals.
There are two main components to the Young Poets Network which will form two phases over the upcoming year.
The first phase will focus on increasing the visibility of existing poetry groups, organisations and opportunities available to young people wishing to develop their interest and creative talents in poetry--as readers, writers and as audiences. Beginning with a mapping exercise, which will consolidate all opportunities from after-school poetry clubs through to national competitions, information will be made readily available by means of a dedicated online database with searchable categories, so that young people are able to easily locate and access poetry opportunities for their specific age group, their region, etc. In addition, poets from across the spectrum will be commissioned to produce resources and toolkits, both written and audiovisual, to share their knowledge and insight, and to guide the development of young poets. …

We should celebrate March 2013 as the month Off-Topic went Full Retard.
Fiat currency would definitely not be fine without regulation, because it would be dead. Nobody would fucking want it. Regulation forces people into it. That's right. Force. A fuckin gun against your head.
As for your second statement, even if a housing bubble had occurred, it would not have been at the magnitude it did if it weren't for government involvement. The fuckin market was never 'de-regulated', the existing regulations were just altered. If anything, it was 're-regulated.'
Fuckin planners.

Frumpy Lump's rage
Now add the exponential effect of the derivative sales of these bundled mortgages and you get the financial crisis.
The cause and effect doesn't get much more direct. Gov't regulations/actions caused the bubble and all bubbles burst.
What regulations were relaxed in your opinion that caused the crisis? If you have a better explanation, let's hear it.
To speak generally, and in regards to finance, the private sector is always miles ahead of regulators, if not in bed with them. What regulation does serve to do is bar entry to markets to those not entrenched.
As for regulations or lack of regulations in this recent fiasco, not only was there not a lack of regulations, but the regulations themselves incentivized concentration in certain investments (see leveraging maximum criteria based on agency ratings).

Just got started with Zimbra Desktop on Linux, and it's working perfectly. When reading an email, if I click on a hyperlink, a new Zimbra window opens with the appropriate content, but no navigation tools. No Back, no page refresh, no Open in new tab ...
Is the window meant to provide these tools and I just don't know how to enable them? Or do I need to fix some setting to cause clicking on a hyperlink to open a new tab in Firefox?
Thanks for any help.

Lawrence football team wins Rutgers Cup
(Page 2 of 2)
"His efficiency was off the charts," Martillotti said of Capobianco, who is eight touchdown passes away from breaking the all-time mark currently held by recent Sayville graduate Steven Ferreira. "High school kids don't complete 75 to 80 percent of their passes," he added. "His natural ability and work ethic is unbelievable."
Robinson, who won the New York Jets wide receiver award, given to the top pass-catcher in the county, had 19 touchdown grabs to set a Long Island single-season record. He's verbally committed to Colgate University. His 28 career TD catches tied a L.I. mark, and he's also the Nassau leader in season (1,156) and career (2,013) yards. "He's probably the best three-sport athlete we've had at Lawrence in a long time," Martillotti said.
Fredericks finished a stellar career with 66 touchdowns, including 22 in 2012 despite missing one game. He rushed for 1,567 yards on 149 carries. He verbally committed to Stony Brook University.

CB Tube: Vocal Thumping Rock Band
By Steve West 2008-03-04 19:58:07
With all the potential of the Internet, from YouTube to Crackle to all the things in between, who needs television? With that in mind, we present CB Tube, a weekly random selection of whatever appeals to us online. We select, you watch, just like real TV, but we make no promises about entertainment value just like real TV.
The Rock Band drum kit is a natural fit for those who like to mod equipment. The simple setup makes it ideal for modders to run wild with. From pint sized drum kits played with pencils to the following video, there seems to be no end to what may be coming.
The hack portrayed in the video is from Kevin Child, and its fairly simple. He hooked up a Thumper vocal-percussion microphone and used it to replace the kick pedal. Im not sure itll make playing the drums any easier, as youll still have to pay attention to when you need to thump your voice, but its still a cool little mod. Check out the video below to see what Kevin has done.

Yahoo adopts new family-friendly policies
Whoa, baby! Working moms at Yahoo will now receive up to 16 weeks of paid maternity leave, and working dads? Take up to eight weeks, the company announced today.
As if that doesn't give the nation's non-Yahoo employees the baby blues, the Sunnyvale, Calif., internet company also will offer a $500 cash bonus to every new parent, according to a company spokeswoman. The company also will offer premier parking spaces for its pregnant personnel.
And the plush perks aren't just limited to biological births. Adopting? Fostering? Using a surrogate? All parenting options qualify employees for the benefits.
Until now, Yahoo did not provide paid paternity leave, and its maternity leave varied from state to state—but then the company's controversial CEO, Marissa Mayer, had a baby.
"Marissa Mayer probably found that intentionally or not her policies had created terrible morale," Lesley Jane Seymour, editor in chief of More Magazine, told ABC News. "She has learned from it. And wow, she's like the parent who says, 'No you can't have ice cream, but I'm buying you a pony.'".
Still, Yahoo's parental pluses have stiff competition in Silicon Valley, which aims to attract and retain the best and brightest tech workers. Google, for one, offers up to 22 weeks of paid leave for its new mommies, while Facebook, in Menlo Park, Calif., offers 16 weeks of paid leave to moms and dads, plus $4,000 in "baby cash," according to Reuters.
"This current new list of programs and benefits is a step in the right direction because we know that women tend to leave their jobs if there is not flexibility or other benefits to support them," Netsy Firestein, executive director of the Berkeley-based Labor Project for Working Families, told Contra Costa Times. "The fact that Marissa is looking at other options suggests that she has done some research and is really looking to move Yahoo forward, in contrast to that other position that took Yahoo backward a bit."
Just two months ago, Mayer ignited a firestorm in the tech world when she ordered employees to stop working from home.
"Huge amounts of data show that it's really good for kids and for their brain development to have time to bond with their parents," Firestein said. "In terms of the tech industry, 16 weeks [of maternity leave] for mothers and eight weeks for fathers seems to be the standard and that's great. And it's a great model for other employers to follow. But we lag grossly behind the rest of the world. Other countries offer six months to three years and Canada has almost a year. When there is paid parental leave, people come back to work in much higher numbers."

The Dictionary Goes Hi-Tech
The term "Malware" is a familiar one to all of us, and has been for years, but it wasn't until recently that it was officially recognized as a word.
The Oxford English Dictionary has added "malware" to its online version.
Editors at OED online gave the thumbs-up to a handful of other technology-related terms in the dictionarys quarterly update. "Wiki" (six years after the Wikipedia.org encyclopedia debuted online), "Infobahn", "undelete", "technopreneur" and "virtualize" were also added.
The last update to the dictionary in December 2006 didn't include much from the tech world - "groupware", "webcast" and "superminicomputer" were the only additions.

Construction work progresses on St. Croix Crossing river bridge piers
Nighttime activities on eastbound Highway 36, near the Beach Road bridge are underway
July 24, 2014
STILLWATER, Minn. – St. Croix Crossing river bridge piers continue to rise above the river as crews are making great strides on the pier columns and crossbeams.
- Construction crews continue tying steel reinforcement bar for the Pier 8 crossbeam, the pier closest to the Minnesota shoreline. A crossbeam will connect the upstream and downstream pier columns at each pier location.
- Crews will begin tying steel reinforcement bar for the Pier 9 crossbeam next week.
- Crews are working on the second of three sections to the bridge deck of the upstream pier column at Pier 10.
- Crews will begin the first of four sections to the bridge deck of the pier columns at Pier 11 next week.
- Crews are working on the final of four sections to the bridge deck of the pier columns at Pier 12.
- Preparations continue at the on-site and Grey Cloud Island casting yards to begin casting the segments that will become the driving surface of the new bridge.
Follow construction progress on the river via the project webcam at www.mndot.gov/stcroixcrossing/webcam.html.
A one-mile long narrowed river channel and no wake worker safety zone are in place on the St. Croix River near bridge construction. Boaters are asked to stay between the red and green buoys and respect the no wake worker safety zone between Stillwater and Bayport through fall 2016.
Minnesota road work
Overnight work on Highway 36 eastbound lanes between Northwestern Avenue and Osgood Avenue is underway through mid-August. This 24-hour work is needed to work efficiently, remain on schedule and complete Minnesota highway construction by the end of 2014. Additional night work in other locations will begin in late-July and in mid-August.
Other upcoming overnight work and tentative schedule:
- Storm water pond at southwest corner of Highway 36 and Oakgreen Avenue intersection -- late July through fall 2014
- South Frontage Road from slightly west of Oakgreen Avenue to Osgood Avenue -- mid-August through fall 2014
Construction activities include excavation, backfilling, grading and hauling. In general, crews will work 24-hours per day from 7 p.m. Sunday to 7 p.m. Saturday.
Overnight work also continues near Highway 36 at the Beach Road bridge. Work includes crushing old pavement to recycle and use for the road base of the new Highway 36 lanes. Crews do not plan to haul any material during overnight hours. Crews will work 24 hours from 7 a.m. Monday to 7 a.m. Sunday until approximately mid-August.
Nearby residences may experience some visual and noise disruptions related to this overnight work. Additional overnight work may occur, as needed, throughout the construction season.
Throughout 2014 construction, Highway 36 and Highway 95 in Minnesota will remain open. Visit www.mndot.gov/stcroixcrossing for a full list of current construction activities.
Wisconsin road work
Construction crews this week continued grading work to construct the new WIS 64 road and County Road E interchange near Houlton. This work is ongoing.
Minnesota approach work will be substantially complete by the end of 2014 and the new St. Croix Crossing bridge/Wisconsin approach work will be complete in fall 2016. When all work is finished, motorists will have smoother highway pavement surfaces, improved flow at intersections, an improved frontage road system—including safer access—and a new river crossing between Minnesota and Wisconsin. All of this will occur while maintaining or restoring the area's cultural, historic and environmental resources.
More detailed information and maps showing the 2014 construction schedule are available at www.mndot.gov/stcroixcrossing.

The Epi-Centre for Healthy Ageing
The Epi-Centre sits within the IMPACT SRC, under the direction of Professor Julie Pasco. The major areas of research include musculoskeletal and metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, social determinants of health, the common mental disorders and the nexus between physical and mental health. The Epi-Centre encompasses epidemiology of chronic disorders and infectious diseases, social epidemiology and psychiatric epidemiology. At the heart of the Epi-Centre lie two prospective studies, known as the Geelong Osteoporosis Study (GOS) and the Vitamin D in Pregnancy (VIP) study, case-controls studies that utilise the GOS cohort as controls, and a comprehensive fracture grid, known as GOS-FracGrid.
The Geelong Osteoporosis Study
The GOS is a large and ongoing population-based cohort study of men and women that was designed in the 1990s to describe the health burden of osteoporosis and identify risk factors for fragility fracture. Age-stratified samples of 1500 men and 1700 women have been recruited from electoral rolls for the Barwon Statistical Division. Detailed clinical, lifestyle and biochemical data were collected at baseline and every few years the participants attend the research centre at Barwon Health to update their health check. This prospective data collection provides an invaluable resource for health research. With time and a growing range of expertise, the scope of the GOS has broadened to study a range of chronic physical disorders, psychiatric disorders and infectious diseases.
Epidemiology of chronic disorders
The GOS generates credible data that describes the epidemiology of musculoskeletal disorders, specifically osteoporosis and sarcopenia, and identifies environmental and genetic risk factors for fracture. We report the impact of fracture on quality of life and independence, and investigate patterns of post-fracture treatment. This component is complemented by fracture case-control studies and the GOS-Fracture Grid (GOS-FracGrid), a comprehensive listing of all incident fractures that occur in the Barwon Statistical Division, which documents patterns of fracture according to time, age, sex, fracture site and area-based socioeconomic status. Together with collaborators, we describe the epidemiology of joint replacements in Australia and identify risk factors for osteoarthritis of the knee. GOS data is also being used to monitor the obesity epidemic and identify risk factors for coeliac disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer.
Infectious Diseases Epidemiology
As part of the GOS, we conduct sero-surveys that describe patterns of seropositivity for infectious diseases that circulate in the population. We conducted such a study for H1N1 influenza following the first wave of the pandemic in 2009 and are now working with collaborators to describe the pattern of seropositivity among residents of the Barwon Statistical Division for Mycobacterium Ulcerans infection. This complements an earlier case-control study we performed that investigated risk factors for transmission of M. Ulcerans infection among residents of the Bellarine Peninsula.
Social Epidemiology
Dr Sharon Brennan is the Head of Social Epidemiology, a discipline that describes the social distribution and social determinants of health, together with specific psychosocial, environmental and societal factors that influence health and health service utilisation. Briefly, the social determinants of health are the "circumstances into which people are born, grow up, live, work and age, and the systems put in place to deal with illness" (World Health Organization Report, Commission for the Social Determinants of Health 2005-8), all of which are shaped by economic, social and political structures. The longitudinal study design of the GOS enables us to investigate how aspects of the area in which we live influences our health outcomes and health service utilisation, with a more recent focus investigating the interplay between social determinants and health literacy, and how best to use this knowledge to address poorer health outcomes for disadvantaged groups of the population.
Psychiatric Epidemiology
Dr Lana Williams is the Head of Psychiatric Epidemiology, a discipline which seeks to study the prevalence, aetiology and outcomes associated with mental illness in society. Almost a decade ago, the GOS initiated a mental health component, designed to address the need for describing the epidemiology of the common mental health disorders in the population, to identify modifiable risk factors for depression and anxiety, and to determine the impact of these disorders on physical health and well-being. Most importantly, GOS participants undergo a structured clinical interview (SCID-I and -II) that yields information about current and past psychiatric disorders, including personality disorders. The impact of psycho-active drugs on physical health is under review in a study known as ProFrac, and these relationships are being investigated at the cellular level with collaborators. Complementing this work is a case-control study of Bipolar Disorder designed to identify lifestyles and physical comorbidity associated with bipolar disorder. Numerous opportunities exist for collaborative studies, both nationally and internationally and student projects.
Vitamin D in Pregnancy (VIP) Study
This prospective study that was initiated in 2002, demonstrated that maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) level during late gestation was associated with infant long bone length at birth. We are re-calling the mother-child pairs for assessment, as the children in this birth cohort turn 10-11 years of age. This provides a novel opportunity to investigate the relationship between gestational vitamin D levels and important indices of childhood growth, including body size, proportions and composition, adiposity, muscle mass, and bone geometry, density and estimated bone strength. We are also measuring the children's allergic response and behavioural development.

Did some trial and error on the stacking blend. I blended the Blue and Lum files in DSS and used that as a blue channel. Then Stacked as RGB in Nebulosity before taking into photoshop. Adjusted the curves as usual then added the L channel as Luminosity mode. I found the wispy dusty background YAY I'm happy 3min subs is enough:Banane36: Merope has a touch of purple but can't get rid of it w/o effecting the color tone of entire image so I'll leave it be

Teen Mom 2
Should Adam Lind Get Joint Custody of Daughter Aubree?
Teen Mom 2's Adam Lind doesn't have the best reputation around these parts, y'all. It might have something to do with the fact that he has multiple DUIs under his belt, and spends most of his time making super questionable life decisions — many of which have to do with his facial hair.
But that aside, there's no doubt in our minds that Adam loves his daughter, Aubree. The problem? Aubree lives with her mom, Chelsea Houska, and Adam doesn't think he sees her enough.
According to this dude, one's criminal history shouldn't be taken into account when it comes to retaining custody of your child. Then again, is it really that unreasonable of Chelsea to want Aubree cared for by people who don't have a penchant for drunk driving?
Plus, let's not forget that when Chelsea does make an effort to invite Adam to big moments in Aubree's life (like her softball game!), he usually flakes out. Is he really responsible enough to take care of her even part-time?
It's easy to understand why Adam wants an official custody agreement that grants him more time with Aubs, but the question on everyone's mind is whether or not he's earned it.
Tell us whether you think Adam has what it takes to be more than a part-time father in his little lady's life!

There is a misconception about Justin Upton that Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson would like to clear up. He said that if anyone views the young right fielder as someone who doesn't care or is loafing, that view "couldn't be further from the truth."
Upton did his part Friday night to dispel some of that by making a diving catch in right field and then scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, scoring from first on Kelly Johnson's hit.
"I think it's a misperception, and part of that is because there's such high expectations that we all put on him, and we expect him to be this guy who just makes every single thing look easy," Gibson said.
"This kid busts his tail, and he works as hard as anybody."
Gibson said when Upton does make poor decisions that he and the coaches talk to him.
"People sometimes want the perfect ballplayer. How many of them are there? We all want them. I'm just saying these guys are trying. They care.
"For somebody to say they act like they don't care is totally inaccurate, totally inaccurate."
First baseman Adam LaRoche said the Diamondbacks approached him about working out a contract extension, though LaRoche says the sides have yet to go into much detail.
"A lot depends on what's available, what the budget looks like next year," LaRoche said. "If it can work, great. I've been pretty clear that I enjoy it here. If it can't, I totally understand that, too."
Before the season, LaRoche signed a one-year, $4.5 million deal that included a $7.5 million option for 2011 or a $1.5 million buyout.
With six weeks left in the season, he has posted numbers - .272 average, .342 on-base, .491 slugging - in line with his career averages and has had a red-hot August, no surprise for a player who typically heats up in the second half.
Thus far, he says the club has gauged only whether he would be interested in returning. He's not sure whether talks will heat up in the coming weeks or in the off-season, but he anticipates the discussions would focus on more than just 2011.
"I don't think it would make sense to do one year," he said. "I think it would be a couple of years. None of that is my decision. As of right now, we're in the early stages so we'll see where it goes."
Gibson said many players are guilty of putting too much pressure on themselves - but he said that can be a good thing if they learn how to deal with in the long run.
"You've got to learn how to do it," he said. "We can tell them all we want, but they have to conquer it.
"I think that when we lose consistently that we put more pressure on ourselves. They've had a hard time because this has been a tough season in general, and you put so much hard work in, and you try to reverse things, and beyond pressure, they get frustrated. This all adds to it."
The Diamondbacks signed veteran left-hander Mike Hampton to a minor-league deal.
Hampton will report to Triple-A Reno in hopes of joining the major-league club in September as a reliever, interim General Manager Jerry Dipoto said.
"We're going to find out what Mike has in the tank," Dipoto said.
Hampton, 37, made 21 starts last season with Houston, posting a 5.30 ERA in 112 innings. He has a 4.07 ERA in his 15-year career but has struggled to stay healthy the past six years.
Hampton, who is coming off major shoulder surgery last September, threw a 60-pitch bullpen session in front of Diamondbacks officials on Wednesday at Chase Field.
"He looked quite a lot like Mike Hampton normally looks," Dipoto said.

Mariner outfielder's production dropped off after being on the nose by pitch.
PEORIA, Ariz. — Casper Wells can't do anything about the six weeks taken from him.
Those happened late last season, when Wells and a handful of other Mariner hopefuls were given a head start at auditioning for the 2012 team in August and September. Wells was making the most of it and had clubbed home runs in four consecutive games when he was hit on the nose by a Brandon Morrow pitch on Aug. 17.
The rest of his season careened downhill for Wells, who suffered from what the team termed a balance disorder and lost his chance to make a big impression. But after spending the winter getting healthy, he's focusing on spring training as he tries to land a spot in Seattle's outfield.

"I'm coming in here looking to be an everyday player in left field," said Wells, 27, one of the players acquired from Detroit in the Doug Fister trade last July. "That's the mindset pretty much anybody has to have coming into spring training, and that's the mindset I take with me every time out."
It might have been the team's mindset as well had Wells not been beaned. The problems Wells described as a short circuit in the nervous system coincided with a 3-for-45 slide at the plate the final six weeks of the season.
That's why, heading into the team's first intrasquad game on Friday, Wells is not viewed as the primary left fielder but the best candidate for a reserve outfield spot. Mike Carp is penciled in as the left fielder, and his decent splits against left-handed pitching mean that any platoon situation with the right-handed hitting Wells could be limited.
But the Mariners will also need somebody to spell Franklin Gutierrez a couple of times per week in center field given his recent health issues and a desire not to overuse him, and maybe Ichiro in right field once in a while.
An ability to play center will be key, and that's something Wells, along with Michael Saunders and Darren Ford, does rather well.
"He's a plus defender with great arm strength and has a real good feel for the outfield," Mariners outfield coach Mike Brumley said. "He's good at all three positions and can cover center field if you needed him to. Obviously, he's great in the corners. Being a right-handed bat with our lineup being left-handed dominant throughout, you're looking at him to supply some of that big pop against some of the better left-handers."
Wells just wants to make a better showing this spring.
"I'd never really had to deal with getting hit in the face by a baseball like that before," Wells said. "They never found out whether that's what caused all the stuff I was feeling, but it all started pretty soon after that. I'm pretty aware of my body and what goes on with it, and I know that I wasn't completely right."
Wells sought treatment from a chiropractor in the offseason and believes his nervous system was "reset."
"I was told that any type of traumatic force can throw your nervous system off," he said. "Well, I can tell you, it doesn't get much more traumatic than having a 97 mph fastball coming right at your head. That had never happened to me before."
The vision problems and dizziness he experienced are gone. Wells still visits the chiropractor, but devoted the rest of his offseason to improving his speed and maintaining the strength the Mariners saw last fall.
Wells managed 11 home runs in just 241 plate appearances for the Mariners and Tigers last season, and that raw power certainly opened eyes. He needs to improve his strikeout rate of nearly 30 percent, though the vision problems may have contributed to that.
If Wells makes better contact and keeps hitting it deep, the Mariners might have to find more spots for him to play.
"I'm looking forward to showing them the kind of player I know I can be," he said.

What is an Adult Group Home?
Adult group homes also known as senior care homes or board and care is a type of living arrangement in which personal care services such as meals, housekeeping, transportation, and assistance with activities of daily living are available as needed. Also an important aspect of the assisted living model is to provide security, comfort and meaningful activities for residents. But unlike nursing homes, residents in assisted living like group homes remain independent, living on their own in a home-like setting. Assistance with activities of daily living may include help with bathing, dressing, toileting, diapering, medicating, help with daily living decisions and moving from one place to another.
Filling the Gap
Assisted living fills a gap between In-Home Care and nursing homes. Years ago, before assisted living, a person needing professional care went to a nursing home even though the care didn't always merit the intensive supervision and control of a nursing home. The fairly new alternative of assisted living provides a more homelike environment for people needing or anticipating help with activities of daily living or incidental activities of daily living but for which 24-hour nursing care is not a necessity. People choosing a residential assisted living style can either live in a single family home or in an apartment residence, this depending on their provider.

Week in Review—Hammond
|U.S. Attorney's Office February 08, 2013
HAMMOND, IN—The United States Attorney's Office announced the following activity in federal court:
Randall Causey, 48, of Gary, Indiana, a defendant in the case U.S. v Chandler et al., was sentenced by Senior District Judge Rudy Lozano to 108 months' imprisonment and three years of supervised release after being found guilty at trial of the felony offenses of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud.
According to documents filed in this case, Causey engaged in a scheme to defraud and obtain money and property by means of false and fraudulent pretenses. He, along with others, recruited five buyers and talked them into purchasing a combined total of 21 houses in the scheme. Causey told the buyers the houses were good investments despite knowing that the houses were in disrepair and located in unsafe neighborhoods. He told them the houses would be rehabilitated by his company when he knew that little if any of the necessary repairs would actually be done. He told them he would find renters to occupy the houses and maintain and manage the properties thereafter, knowing he would make no effort to do so once the house had sold and the first month or two of the mortgage had been paid. The lenders were provided false information regarding the buyers' credit-worthiness and were falsely told buyers had made down payments and taken out seller-second mortgages. As a result, in most of the home sales, the lenders unwittingly approved financing for 100 percent of the purchase of the homes, leaving no cushion if the housing market declined. The financial institutions to which some of the mortgages were packaged and sold by the initial lenders eventually lost their investment as well, as all of the homes sold in the scheme were eventually foreclosed upon.
This case was the result of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jill Koster and Emily Cremeans.

In the final Thursday Night Football matchup of the season, the Philadelphia Eagles will host the Cincinnati Bengals. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 EST at Lincoln Financial Field and will be televised nationally on the NFL Network. Oddsmakers currently have Cincinnati listed as a 3-point road favorite with the total posted at 46 points.
Why Cincinnati Will Cover:
The Bengals dropped to 7-6 overall after a heartbreaking 19-20 home loss to the Cowboys this past weekend. Cincinnati is tied with the Steelers for the final Wild Card spot in the AFC, but Pittsburgh holds the tiebreaker due to a 24-17 win at Cincinnati back in Week 7. The Bengals still control their own fate, as they go on the road to face the Steelers and host the Ravens after their showdown against the Eagles.
There's no question that Cincinnati is the team with the most at stake in this matchup. While the Eagles are coming off an impressive 23-21 win at Tampa Bay, that actually might be a good thing for the Bengals. Philadelphia had lost eight straight before beating Tampa Bay and were really playing hard to put an end to that losing streak. This could be a huge letdown spot for the Eagles, who gain nothing by beating Cincinnati and are likely more interested in playing spoiler against division rivals Washington and New York over the final two weeks of the season.
The Eagles defense played one of their better games of the entire season last week against the Buccaneers, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them struggle against Cincinnati. Philadelphia had allowed 28 points or more in each of their previous six games. The Eagles pass defense played well against the Buccaneers, but overall it hasn't been good this season. Cincinnati is 19-7 ATS vs poor pass defenses that allow 7 or more yards/attempt in the second half of the season since 1992.
Why Philadelphia Will Cover:
The Eagles didn't look like a team that was out of the playoff picture this past weekend. They played extremely hard on both sides of the football. There's a possibility this team will let down after finally getting a win to snap their losing streak, but teams typically come to play in prime time games. Philadelphia hasn't had much luck in prime time games of late, losing on Monday Night Football to the Saints in Week 10 and the Panthers in Week 12.
The thing you always have to factor in with these Thursday night matchups is the advantage the home team has in the short week. It's no secret that the Eagles have had to deal with a number of big injuries this year, but the Bengals aren't exactly coming in at full strength. Six different players for Cincinnati are currently listed as questionable against the Eagles, including corners Dre Kirkpatrick and Leon Hall and starting linebacker Rey Maualuga.
It might not seem like the Eagles have a whole lot to play for down the stretch, but there is reason to believe they will show up. With it looking like there is a very good chance that head coach Andy Reid and GM Howie Roseman won't be back next season, a lot of the players are auditioning to keep their job next season. I also believe the players have a lot of respect for Reid and will play hard knowing that these are likely his final games as a coach of the Eagles.
The Eagles are 12-4 ATS over their last 16 games when playing against a marginal winning team in the second half of the season. It's also worth mentioning that the Bengals are just 2-10 ATS over their last 12 games following a loss by 3-points or less.
