Defenders Of Wildlife And Petco Team Up To Protect Coral Reefs And Marine Life; Give Pet Fish Owners Sustainable Choices
SAN DIEGO and WASHINGTON, Aug. 7, 2013--Defenders of Wildlife, a widely respected nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection of all native animals and plants in their natural communities, and Petco Animal Supplies, a leading U.S.-based pet specialty retailer, today announced a collaboration agreement to improve efforts to conserve and protect the world's coral reefs and the fish that depend upon them.
Defenders is providing its expertise to help Petco identify and protect specific marine fish species that are vulnerable to over-collection; improve practices for their fish suppliers to ensure they minimize harm to coral reef environments; and develop ways to track the success of these efforts.
"For the past several years, Defenders of Wildlife has been working to improve conservation of the world's coral reef and fish communities," said Dr. Daniel Thornhill, a coral reef expert and conservation scientist at Defenders of Wildlife. "Petco is the largest U.S. retailer of marine aquatic life, and by collaborating with them, we will significantly improve marine aquatic life collection practices to benefit coral reef ecosystems."
Petco initiated the collaboration with three goals: to create strict requirements for fish collectors to use responsible and sustainable marine-life collection practices; to help prevent overfishing; and, whenever possible, to encourage the sale of aquacultured fish instead of wild-collected fish.
"We are challenging the aquatics industry to follow our lead in making positive changes that protect coral reefs," said Rich Williams, Vice President of Companion Animals for Petco. "Our efforts include educating our customers and the general public about environmentally responsible practices, and encouraging aquarium enthusiasts to choose aquacultured fish, which are born and raised in a tank environment, and not collected from the ocean."
An online survey of 1,200 adults conducted by Research Now found that, when presented with information on the impact that collecting fish from oceans or lakes can have on those ecosystems and how raising aquacultured fish can avoid that impact, 74 percent say that they would purchase aquacultured fish over fish collected from an ocean or lake.
The findings support Defenders of Wildlife and Petco's new initiative to reduce destructive fishing practices. "Reducing over-collection and eliminating harmful collection techniques benefit both coral reefs and fish, while helping to preserve complex reef ecosystems. With this collaboration, our two organizations take an important step forward in becoming a catalyst for improvements across the entire marine aquarium industry," said Thornhill.
As part of the ongoing collaboration, Defenders of Wildlife and Petco are launching a pledge that asks pet owners, enthusiasts and advocates to take a stand against damaging fishing practices by choosing aquacultured fish over those collected from the wild.
"Going forward, we will analyze the effects of our efforts on fish populations and formulate new strategies to help reef ecosystems thrive," said Williams.

Nick Leyva moved across the diamond in 2015 to the First Base coaching box after working four seasons as Manager Clint Hurdle's Third Base Coach. In addition to his role as the First Base Coach, Leyva will once again serve as the club's Infield Coach. The 2016 season marks Leyva's 40th in professional baseball and his 22nd at the Major League level. He spent the 2010 season as the Bench Coach for the Toronto Blue Jays - under Manager Cito Gaston - after working the previous two seasons as Toronto's Third Base Coach. An infielder during his playing days, Leyva was selected by St. Louis in the 24th round of the 1975 First-Year Player Draft and began his professional career with Class-A Sarasota that summer.
After a three-year playing career, which concluded with a stint at Double-A Arkansas in 1977, Leyva began his managerial/coaching career as a manager in the St. Louis farm system with Johnson City in 1977. In his fi rst six seasons managing in the minor leagues (1978-1983), Leyva posted 350-340 (.507) record and was named the Texas League Manager-ofthe-Year in 1983 after guiding Arkansas to a 69-67 record and second-half division title.
Nick served the Cardinals as their First Base Coach at the big league level for two years (1984-85) before moving across the diamond to the third base coaching box for three years. In addition, he managed in the Puerto Rican Winter League for three years, winning the Championship and being named Manager-of-the-Year with Mayaguez in 1986. After his five seasons as a coach with the Cardinals, the Philadelphia Phillies named Leyva their Manager on October 3, 1988. At 37 years of age at the time, he was the youngest skipper of the Phillies since 1960 (Gene Mauch - 34). Leyva guided the Phillies to a 77-85 record in his second year at the helm, showing a 10-game improvement from his rookie campaign. Philadelphia, however, let Leyva go on April 24, 1991, after he got off to a 4-9 start that season. Leyva joined the Toronto organization for the first time in 1992 when he was hired to manage Triple-A Syracuse, a position he held for two seasons before serving the Blue Jays as their Third Base Coach from 1994-97. In that time, he also managed Lara in the Venezuelan Winter League in 1995 and 1996.
After working two years in private business, Nick spent seven seasons in the Chicago White Sox organization. He was a manager at the Triple-A level with Charlotte for two seasons prior to being named the Appalachian League Manager-of-the-Year in 2002 after guiding his Bristol club to a 43-25 record and a league title. He also won a Puerto Rican League championship with Mayaguez in 2002, one year after leading Lara to the Venezuelan Winter League championship. For two years (2003-04), Leyva served the White Sox as their Minor League Infield Instructor before returning to the managerial post with Charlotte in 2005 and Bristol in 2006. Leyva spent the 2007 season as the Third Base Coach with the Milwaukee Brewers. His last stint as a manager came in 2008 when he spent the first three months in the Mets farm system with Kingsport in the Appalachian League. He guided the K-Mets to a 1-2 record before being named Toronto's Third Base Coach on June 20 that season. In his 14 seasons as a minor league manager, Leyva posted a 714-777 (.479) record. He also captured three Winter League Championships while managing in Puerto Rico and Venezuela for seven seasons.
PERSONAL: Nicholas Tomas Leyva ("LAY-vah")...Wife's name is Chelé... Has one son; Casey (10/22/83)...Is a 1971 graduate of Cha ey High School in Ontario, CA...Received degrees in Diversifi ed Major and Spanish from LaVerne (CA) College in 1975...Also played baseball at LaVerne College and was a 1975 NAIA All-American...Is a member of the Sports Hall-of-Fame at LaVerne College.

Automatically analyzes and corrects the sound for accurate mixing.
The JBL LSR4300 Series Studio Monitors are designed for critical stereo and multi-channel audio production applications that require exceptional spectral accuracy and high SPL capability. Exclusive technology from JBL automatically analyzes and corrects the response of each speaker in the room for absolute accuracy in mixing.
Acknowledging that much of today's production is carried out in acoustically untreated rooms, the LSR4300 Series is the first professional monitor to combine JBL's Linear Spatial Reference technology and automated RMCTM Room Mode Correction, an onboard system that automatically compensates for low frequency anomalies measured at the mix position.
The LSR4300 enhances computer-based production by incorporating system-wide volume control, input source selection, individual speaker solo and user EQ. Harman HiQnetTM Network protocol enables centralized system-wide control from any speaker, wireless remote control, or computer using LSR4300 Control Center Software.
438H Low Frequency Transducer
The 8" woofer utilizes a powerful, shielded lightweight neodymium magnet which can be used in close proximity to CRT-type monitors with no interference. The transducer utilizes a copper-clad polepiece that improves high frequency output by reducing voice coil inductance. A copper ribbon voice coil ensures high sensitivity, and a flux shorting ring stabilizes the magnetic field in the gap, reducing distortion. Heat sinking has been placed close to the magnetic gap in order to draw out heat as efficiently as possible. The cone is polymer coated for uniformity of response over the woofer's passband.
431G High Frequency Transducer
The high frequency transducer has a treated silk diaphragm that produces uniform and smooth sound. Its flat ribbon aluminum voice coil ensures low-moving mass and enables the transducer to achieve response out to 22kHz. A lightweight neodymium magnet structure with integral heat sinking, along with ferrofluid in the magnetic gap, enable the transducer to produce high peak output levels with minimal power compression. The magnet structure is integrally shielded, enabling the system to be used in proximity to CRT-type monitors with no interference.
Bi-amplified Power System
The LSR4328P incorporates 2 high power amplifiers that provide 150 watts of power to the low frequency transducer and 70 watts of power to the high frequency transducer. A precision digital dividing network having high-order Linkwitz-Riley slope characteristics for smooth transition between transducers, results in exceptional imaging and lack of time smear. The circuitry also yields a tonal-artifact-free noise floor.
Network and Digital Features
The LSR4300 Series utilizes the Harman HiQnetTM network protocol that allows centralized control of a multi-channel system from a from any speaker's front panel, wireless remote control, or computer via a standard USB connection and LSR4300 Control Center Software. The network is configured using supplied CAT5 cable and by setting a DIP switch on each speaker. Harman HiQnet also enables synchronized RMC calibration of all speakers on the network.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's swimming and diving team saw some international competition earlier today when the Bulldogs squared off against the McGill Martlets in their first meet of the year. Yale won all 14 swimming events contested, and held the top two spots in six events including one relay. Strong performances were delivered across the board, with veterans Molly Albrecht, Alexandra Forrester, Cynthia Tsay and Joan Weaver each claiming two first-place finishes in individual events. Two freshmen, Helena Gali and Elizabeth Larsen, also went home with wins in the 50-yard freestyle and 200-yard breaststroke, respectively. No women's diving was contested today, but diving will kick off tomorrow's scrimmage against Colgate.
Perhaps the most exciting result of the day came in the 100-yard butterfly. Forrester won the event by a margin of over five seconds, clocking in at 53.72 to break the previous pool record of 54.07 set three year ago.
In the 400-yard freestyle relay, the Bulldog 'A' flight of Forrester, Albrecht, Weaver and Tsay clocked in at 3:31.90. This time is nearly two seconds faster and comes two weeks earlier than that of Yale's top squad from last year, as the Bulldogs won the 400 free relay in 3:33.28 against Columbia on Nov. 12 in last year's season opener.
The Bulldogs have a quick turnaround for their next meet, as they'll race against Colgate tomorrow, Oct. 30. The meet will begin at 12:00 p.m. at the Robert J.H. Kiphuth Exhibition Pool in Payne Whitney Gymnasium.

The Grayville School District is not facing a financial crisis yet, but the situation could deteriorate seriously over the next few years.
The Grayville School District is not facing a financial crisis yet, but the situation could deteriorate seriously over the next few years.
The district has roughly enough reserves to sustain its current level of deficit spending for about eight years, the Grayville School Board was told Wednesday night by its auditor.
The district ran a deficit of $185,444 last fiscal year based on revenues of $3,227,213 and expenditures of $3,412,657, reported Keith Botsch, of the Carmi accounting firm Botsch & Associates.
"In today's climate, that's not a bad ending result," said Botsch.
However, "We can't continue that for too many years, because you have a $1.4 million in fund balance, and roughly that's eight years of $200,000 deficit spending...we'll be out of cash," Botsch warned.
"You have to continue tightening the belt. I know you've done a lot to tighten the belt...there's still always work to be done."
"If the state would pay us what they owe us, we'd be even," observed board member John Gray.
But that's not likely in the short term, Botsch said. "Funding's getting tighter," he noted.
And it's likely to get tighter. School districts currently are paid at 89 percent of what they should be receiving under the state aid formula, but last week the State Board of Education warned that figure will probably go to 85 percent next year.
The Grayville School Board last month approved a budget projecting $87,764 in red ink.
While upstate districts enjoy ample tax bases and are not reliant on state assistance, that is not the case in the southern end of the state, Botsch pointed out.
"Districts south of Springfield, they could care less about us. They don't see the concern," he said.
The district ended the fiscal year with a $994,174 balance in education fund, a $64,352 balance in operations and maintenance, $71,553 in transportation, $69,156 in working cash and $125,319 in tort immunity.
The district's total fund balance is "very strong for a district of your size, stronger than a lot of the districts we tend to work with," Botsch said.
"You are in decent financial shape but you had a tough year, because your expenditures exceeded your revenues," he added.
Most of the red ink was to be found in the education fund, which finished with a deficit of $144,199.

In this playful video, Kara Gott Warner shows you how to have "fun with a lace" by simply changing yarn and needle sizes. Kara dives into her own knitting stash and takes you on an adventure, where she shows how to alter the look of one simple lace bias pattern without changing the stitch pattern. She encourages you to go to extremes by showing you how a lace weight yarn on a size seven needle looks, compared to a super-bulky weight yarn on a size 17 needle. This must-watch video will inspire you while you creatively build your knitting skills!

A few years ago I was invited to a press tour by Bosch Rexroth, headquartered in Germany. I spent nearly a week with editors from four other US publications in a VW minivan driving across Germany. We had been invited to visit the Hannover Fair and tour several manufacturing plants scattered across Germany. Bosch Rexroth conducted the event to bring us up to date on the merger between Mannesmann Rexroth and Bosch Automation Technologies. Naturally, we toured some of their manufacturing plants, but we also visited facilities of some of their customers.
We visited Volkswagen headquarters and manufacturing plant in Wolfsburg and Koenig & Bauer AG, a manufacturer of printing machines in Wurzburg. Their new machines use a continuous web of paper that shoots through the machine at an astounding 12 m/sec (27 mph) while maintaining a printing resolution of 0.050 mm.
But what really blew me away was what I learned at EMAG Mfg. GmbH, in Salach, in the former East Germany. Some of the manufacturing methods they used were completely new to me, but the big news was their boost in productivity. Manfred Hekeler, the marketing communications manager, proudly informed us that the average turnaround to produce a typical vertical machining center was about five weeks. Then he mentioned that this was a dramatic improvement in productivity over what it had been prior to the reunification of Germany. How dramatic? Previously, it took five years to put out a machine! And he said that was pretty good; citizens generally had to wait 12 years for a new car. Needless to say, once your new car arrived, you went out to order its replacement the very next day.
Mr. Hekeler explained that under the old system of working for the government, there was no competition, so there was little incentive to improve productivity or quality. But it wasn't EMAG's fault. Their suppliers worked for the government too, so it was not uncommon to wait months for parts that should've been available in a few days. Nonetheless, once EMAG entered the free market, company officials quickly realized that in order to survive, they would have to upgrade their operations to world-class standards — and fast. They did, and my hat goes off to them. Their success is as much a tribute to their resourcefulness as it is to the value of the free-enterprise system.
UPDATE: I found a website containing images photographer Stefan Kopelkamm took while in the former East Germany in 1990. He returned more than ten years later and photographed the same bulidings again, much of which had been renovated. You can see the before-and-after shots on the website by clicking here.

Having ignored most of the Beta and being baffled by most people's commentary on their own blogs (Mogu, Schmogu), I figured I was going in as blind as you could be without actually being a complete noob to WoW. Also, I decided this would be a good duplication of my previous attempt in Cataclysm, the "Convoy to L85"*, but with my iL at 280 I assumed this would be a bit rougher of a transition.**
I flew up to the Skyfire, landed, and we were off.
About five minutes into the intro questline, I had one overwhelming thought: why are we still playing WoW with swords and axes and bows? WoW has gone full steampunk with Mists, and the old paradigm has become obsolete. It's so steampunk, both gyrocopter sequences --the one you pilot as well as the one where you tag certain places in the Horde stronghold for air strikes-- felt like something out of Apocalypse Now.
Throughout the entire SI:7 portion of Jade Forest, the comparisons with Vietnam grew stronger, with the Alliance and Horde's arming of the indigenous populations echoing the Soviets and U.S. arming the Vietnamese.***
And then, things just collapsed.
We were back to the traditional WoW environment of kill ten rats, sly names with a nod to popular culture, and quest writing similar to any other expac. It's almost as if Blizzard went up to the edge, looked over the precipice, and decided to play it safe and go back to the tried and true. With the exception of the graphics and voice actors, if you were to drop the Pandaria quests into another expac you'd not tell the difference.
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense: WoW is what it is, and putting an Asian veneer over it isn't going to change the core of the game. Just like how I could tell Aion was Korean in origin by the quest text****, I could tell that this was WoW by the quest text.
Still, my first observation stands: why are we using bows and swords and axes in a game that has become dominated by "magic tech" and steampunk? I can understand a Rogue's use of daggers in an assassin's role, but the Paladin, Warrior, and Hunter seem obsolete in the tech that you see in WoW. The magic oriented classes --Druid, Shaman, Priest, Warlock, and Mage-- have more utility in the New WoW Order than the melee based classes.
From a historical perspective, once one group makes a major technological leap in warfare, other groups quickly follow suit or they get steamrolled over. When the musket was introduced and the concept of interchangeable parts introduced, all of the major powers of the day almost instantly switched to this new tech. Blizzard went in this direction with the entire opening and SI:7 sequences, yet pulled back from the obvious conclusion of modifying the classes to accommodate new arms and tactics. Yes, the game would have been radically changed forever had they gone through with those sort of changes, but it remains that Blizzard seems to have wanted the flash and bang of the new stuff without the natural conclusion that those changes would have wrought.
Unless, of course, Titan is really WoW Steampunk.
*Use the label to find the old posts on that adventure; I examined the transition from Wrath to Cata as a pair of fresh L80s --Neve and Tomakan-- without the benefit of having run a single Wrath raid or heroic instance. For fun, I added Q into the mix just to compare the difference in Hyjal from someone with T10 gear vs. Wrath greens.
**Oh, I guess you're curious how my severely undergeared Rogue handled the intro zones. It was much slower going than the transition to Cata, and the first boss, Ga'trul, proved to be a true gear check. I'd be doing well enough until he converted to Sha form, and then I'd end up wiping. In the end I had to go back and blow some of my Honor and Justice points to get enough gear to allow me to knock that warlock out. Once I got past Ga'trul, however, the road was much smoother than I expected.
***You could also insert any Nineteenth Century European power here, particularly during colonial expansion.
****If there's one thing that makes me hesitate about Guild Wars 2, it's that I didn't like the tone of the quest text from Aion. If the same company, NCSoft, makes both games, it stands to reason that I won't like feel of GW2 as well.

If that was a factual statement, then the only cause of your problem is the Tractor Gremlin.
That is an evil spirit that invades the tractor every now & then......much like the 'good' spirits such as the Tooth Fairy & Easter Bunny.
You have an intermittent short. There are 10 likely sources of the short.
Before you check anything else, make sure you have the correct voltage at the top of the coil as soon as you get a 'no spark' problem. It should be battery voltage w/ the points open & about half that w/ the points closed.
Assuming that the bushings & advance weights are ok, & that you have correct voltage to the coil, the most common electrical failure (no spark, weak spark) points on the frontmount are:
1. The insulator under the brass concave head screw & where the copper strip attaches. (it�s fiber & will wear out; poke & prod w/ your meter leads to make sure it still works)
2. The pigtail at the bottom of the coil not making contact w/ the concave head brass screw inside the distributor. (With the coil on, the pigtail must firmly contact the brass screw. No contact = no spark.).
3. The copper strip is broken or grounded to the plate. (look very carefully for cracks & breaks)
4. The condenser wire grounding to the plate or side of the distributor.
5. The tab on the bottom of the coil not making contact w/ the brass button on the cap. (With the cap on, the tab must firmly contact the brass button. No contact = no spark.)
6. Incorrect positioning of the spring clip on the plate causing the pigtail to ground. (the open part of the clip goes between 7 & 9 o�clock on the plate. That puts the straight part of the clip opposite of the timing screw at 3 o�clock)
7. Incorrect seating of the coil on the distributor due to a loose bail or no gasket.(the coil must not move at all; if it does, replace the gasket or bail. Or stick some cardboard under the bail).
8. Water/moisture inside the cap due to gasket failure or the absence of a gasket. (the cap AND coil have gaskets)
9. Dirty/corroded/burned/incorrectly gapped or misaligned points.
10. Burned rotor, cracked/carbon tracked cap.
Unless the coil is cracked or shows a dead short, chances are it's fine; square coils rarely fail cold. Pull the distributor & do a continuity check.
First, make sure your meter/light works (don't ask....)
You can change points everyday & it will not fix bad bushings. If you are having trouble w/ points failure, check the shaft. If you detect movement, chances are it needs new bushings.
Inspect the points; if they are pitted or burned, replace them. Next, dress the points by running a piece of card stock or brown paper bag through them. New points sometimes have an anti-corrosive dielectric coating on them & old points can corrode or pick up grease from a dirty feeler gauge or excessive cam lubricant. Make sure the points align correctly. Proper alignment is also critical to longevity. Look at the points when they are closed; both sides should mate evenly. Then, check the gap at .015 on the high point of all 4 cam lobes.
Now, follow these steps:
1. Coil off, cap off, points open. One probe on the brass screw & the other on both sides of the open points. On the side closest to the cam, you should have continuity. Not on the other side! If you do, you will also have continuity everywhere because the points are grounded.
2. Coil off, cap off, points open. One probe on the brass screw & the other anywhere on the body of the distributor. You should have no continuity! Now, rotate the tang on the distributor....as the points open & close, you have continuity (closed) and lose it when they open.
3. Coil on, cap off, points open. One probe on the lead on the top of the coil, the other on the cam side of the open points. You should have continuity!
4. Coil on, cap off, points open. One probe on the lead on the top of the coil, the other anywhere on the body of the distributor. You should have no continuity!
At this point, I just put the distributor, coil & cap all back on the tractor as a unit. The reason I do this is because it is real easy to get the cap or coil mis-aligned trying to put it back together one piece at a time & the result is something gets broken or you get a �no spark� problem.
It's possible to put it back on wrong & break it. Look at the slot on the end of the cam shaft. What ever angle it happens to be, turn the distributor tang to match it. Make sure you can tell the wide side from the narrow side on both the cam & distributor! (close counts) Then place the distributor on the front of the engine, gently push it in place & slowly turn the distributor body until you feel the tang slip into the slot. Rotate the distributor body until the bolt holes line up. Then, hand tighten the two bolts until the distributor body is flush w/ the timing gear cover.
Finally, double check your firing order & plug wires. It�s 1-2-4-3, counterclockwise. It�s very easy to cross 3 & 4.
Post back w/ results & any other questions.

On Thursday, the Board of Education voted to accept the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Package from Carroll Daniel Construction Company for site work at the New Elementary School to be located on South Davis Road. This package includes site work in preparation for roadways, foundation work, electrical, water and sewer, and site improvements for the new school.
The New Elementary School, which has not been named, is scheduled to open August 2018. The construction and building of the facility was approved in the Education SPLOST 5 which was approved by Troup County residents in May 2016.

But the offense, which produced a season-high 368 yards, led the rally. Braylon Edwards resurfaced and caught a 10-yard touchdown pass on a fade route to trim the deficit to 23-17 with 7:21 remaining. The Seahawks forced a punt, but then had to punt themselves with 3:14 left. Carroll made the risky decision to give it back to the Patriots and trust his defense. It worked. The defense held before Wilson's game-winning pass to Rice.
"We had no doubt," Sherman said. "We trust our offense."
I think this team grew yesterday on levels we may not have imagined.
Red Bryant nearly gave Russell Wilson a hug after that game winning touchdown. Sherman, the guy who could be pointed to for possibly "putting it out there" with any frustrations between the O and the D is now the guy who has "trust" in the kid and I love it. I think Brewers right, this is now a complete team.
what do you guys think?

Another package arrives from mum-in-law. What could it be? There is no regularity to when these gifts arrive or what they are…it depends on the ebb and flow of her impulses and what she comes across while shopping, so it is always a surprise. At any given day, the doorbell will buzz, her driver will pop in with a parcel, and C and I will crowd around it and inspect our loot. As I peel off the wrappings, my Iron Chef face comes on (at least in my head): "Hmmm, it's cold, hmmm, meat, hmmm, and the surprise ingredient is…lamb shank!"
Wait. Did I say lamb shank? Only one of my most favorite kinds of meat around! I rubbed my hands together in glee. I already knew what it was fated to become. What better use for a favorite meat, than a favorite dish? A favorite Greek dish to be exact. Arni Youvetsi to be even more exact.
Arni Youvetsi, or lamb youvetsi, or giovetsi, is lamb baked with orzo (rice shaped pasta, like risoni) and tomato sauce. I fell madly in love with it in a Greek restaurant here, and when I finally made it to Greece, I wasted no time in eating my way through all the youvetsi's they had to offer.
The recipe I used is adapted from Tessa Kiros' Falling Cloudberries (I book that I adore). I changed the quantities a bit to suit our tastes (more garlic!) and the ingredients I had. Her recipe calls for lamb meat with no bone, but as the shanks looked like cute mini-osso buco's, I wanted to include the whole thing.
Arni Youvetsi
(adapted from Falling Cloudberries by Tessa Kiros)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 750 grams lamb shank (not whole, cut crosswise as beef and veal shanks are)
- 2 red onions, chopped
- 4-5 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 400-gram tin of chopped tomatoes with juice
- 1 400-gram tin of whole tomatoes, drained, juice reserved
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 40 grams butter
- 500 grams orzo
- 150-200 grams feta cheese
- Freshly grated parmesan, to serve
– Heat olive oil in a heavy, oven-proof casserole and brown lamb on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.
– Add onions to the same casserole and sauté until soft, adding a little more oil if necessary.
– Add the garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes more, then return lamb to the pan.
– Add the tomatoes (crushed and whole). Stir and mash the whole tomatoes roughly with the back of your spoon. Salt and pepper to taste.
– Add the cinnamon stick and the butter, give it a stir, and then let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
– While your pot is simmering, take the reserved juice from the tomatoes, stick it in a measuring jug, and top up with water until you have 4 cups (1 liter). Heat the liquid first (I did this in a microwave) and then add to your pot.
– Cover and bake in an 180C/350F oven until lamb is tender.
– Rinse pasta in a sieve or colander and drain. Add to the pot once lamb is tender and stir through until well incorporated. Cover pot and return to oven for about 15-17 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and has absorbed most of the sauce. You can add more hot water if it seems too dry. (pasta cooks longer in the oven, so a pasta that usually takes 7 minutes will take about 15 in the oven)
– Once done, remove from the oven and stir in crumbled feta while it's still hot, so the cheese melts a bit. (this part is optional but I like it)
– Serve with freshly grated parmesan.
Just as it sounds and appears, this is no glamorous, sophisticated dish. It is hearty and comforting. A very Sunday-family-meal type of dish that you can imagine some robust Greek yaya (or yiayia – grandmother in Greek) making. This is not a summer sort of dish either. The fact that I made it in this blazing heat is a testament to how much I love it.
It seems like in the summertime, this not-so-young girl's mind turns to thoughts of…Greece…I promise to buy my brain a plane ticket to somewhere else soon…

Overcome Public Speaking Fear Today
Banish speaking anxiety and nerves with hypnosis
Public Speaking Confidence is an audio hypnosis session that will completely retrain your brain to be comfortable and confident (and only a little excited) when in front of an audience.
Is public speaking fear your biggest fear?
Does even the thought of standing up in front of an audience bring you out in a cold sweat?
You are not alone! Surveys of people's worst fears consistently rank giving presentations and speeches in the number one position. More frightening than jumping out of a plane at 20,000 feet. Into a swamp full of man eating alligators.
Ridiculous, isn't it?
What could be safer than standing in a room full of (mostly) friendly people and sharing information and ideas with them? Especially if you know your stuff and have done all the 'right' things in preparation? Yet here you are, acting like twenty man eating alligators are snapping at your knees. Share information? Speak coherently and intelligently? You must be kidding! I gotta run! Now!
How does this happen?
How public speaking fear works on you
For one reason or another, your brain has learnt to provide you with the wrong unconscious response when you speak in public.
Instead of getting just the right amount of adrenaline and excitement to optimize your performance, you get a fear response like you're being attacked by a wild animal.
The good news is, this piece of 'faulty wiring' can be fixed. And much more easily than you might expect.
As you relax and listen repeatedly to your download, you'll find that you:
- Feel a very welcome lessening of tension generally in your life (that old fear had its hooks everywhere)
- Notice that the thought of making a presentation or anything similar no longer troubles you
- Feel comfortable with the idea that you don't have to be perfect to be good
- Begin to feel a deep implicit trust in yourself to speak well, no matter what happens
- Start actually looking forward to having more opportunities to speak
- Enjoy that little spurt of adrenaline that signals that you are now ready to get out there and speak.

Snacks for Better Brain Health
Tasty recipes that are good for your body and may strengthen your mind
En español | I have a personal interest in eating for brain health. My father has been diagnosed with early-stage dementia or MCI (mild cognitive impairment.)
As I write, I'm in Florida visiting my parents, who are at that stage in life where they need my special attention. Looking back, I should have known something was wrong more than a year ago, when my father, who adores his only two granddaughters, didn't want to make the trip to my younger daughter's wedding. After lots of hand wringing, we decided that Dad would stay home and Mom would represent them both. She left him with all his meds in order, meals in place and a host of neighbors checking in on him.
But Dad's time alone did not go well. After Mom left, he was disoriented and unable to care for himself. We realized later that a new medication had exacerbated his condition, but the incident prompted us to consult a neurologist, who confirmed what we suspected.
That was January 2012. By the end of April, my parents called to say they had made the decision to move from their home of 30 years to a lovely three-stage retirement facility. We spent the summer selling their house and belongings, and now we're getting close to celebrating their one-year anniversary in a wonderful community with lots of activity.
I wish we could turn the clock back a few years so I could improve my dad's health with a better diet — but even if we could, I can imagine his laughing if I tried to serve him kale chips. "The only kale I'll eat," he'd say, "is long-simmered with a big piece of fatback!"
I realize that there's a good chance that my father's fate could be mine, so I do what I can for myself: I take fish oil (its omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to brain health), keep my mind active and rely on healthy recipes with lots of fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices — which are thought to maintain or even boost brainpower — such as the ones I include here.
Coconut Granola With Blueberries and Walnuts
Makes 1 quart
If you can't find flaxseed meal, feel free to substitute wheat germ. New research shows that coconut oil can be good for you, but vegetable oil can substitute if you prefer that.
- 2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup each: chopped walnuts and unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup agave
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup dried blueberries
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 275 degrees. Mix oats, flaxseed meal, salt, walnuts and coconut in a medium bowl. Bring agave, oil, water and cardamom to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle over oat mixture and stir to combine.
Pour mixture into a 13-by-9-inch pan coated with vegetable cooking spray. Working a handful at a time, squeeze cereal to form small clumps. Bake for 30 minutes. Stir in blueberries.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Yale men's tennis team dropped a tough 4-3 match to Brown today in Providence to close out its regular season. No. 1 Brandon Wai, currently No. 85 in the nation, defeated No. 101 Dan Hanegby to finish the season undefeated in Ivy League singles play.
The Bulldogs fell behind early, dropping all three doubles matches, and attempted to rally in the singles portion of the match. Wai scored a scintillating three-set win over Hanegby, winning 6-2, 4-6, 1-0(6). No. 4 Michael Caldwell's three-set match also went into a tiebreaker, and he was eventually able to outlast Saurabh Kohli, 6-7, 6-0, 1-0(8). The Elis' third win came from No. 2 Milosz Gudzowski, who thrashed Basudev Ratnam, 6-2, 6-0.
"Their doubles play was very impressive," said Cary Leeds Head Coach Alex Dorato afterward. He remarked, though, that Gudzowski's win was particularly impressive.
"[Gudzowski] beat a really good player at No. 2 in straight sets," he said.
Yale finishes the regular season with an 11-9 record (4-3 Ivy), good for a tie for third in the Ancient Eight.

Brown Fights to Preserve Job-Creating Clean Energy Program
SAN DIEGO – Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. today filed a lawsuit against mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for blocking an innovative California clean energy program that was designed to create tens of thousands of jobs, promote energy independence and lower utility bills.
"As the nation struggles through the worst recession in modern times, California is taking action in federal court to stop the regulatory strangulation of the state's grass-roots program that is spreading across the country," said Brown.
The PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) program stimulates the economy and promotes energy independence by assisting homeowners and small businesses in securing funding to make their properties more energy efficient. Property owners repay the costs of energy improvements through assessments spread out over a decade or more. Under California law, these costs are classified as tax assessments.
Ignoring California law, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have effectively shut down the program by wrongly characterizing PACE assessments as loans that must be subordinate to their own mortgages. The Federal Housing Finance Agency affirmed Fannie and Freddie's decision on July 6 over the objections of Attorney General Brown and congressional leaders.
For California, the stakes are high. Almost half the counties in California have developed PACE programs or plan to start one. The mortgage giants' actions have stopped these programs dead in their tracks, destroying job creation, stifling energy independence and hampering California's economic recovery. Clean energy companies have had to lay off workers, and California risks losing more than $100 million in federal stimulus money.
"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac received enormous federal bailouts," Brown said, "but now they're throwing up impermeable barriers to bank lending that creates jobs, stimulates the economy and boosts clean energy."
One example of the effects of this: San Diego planned to launch a PACE program this summer but it has now been suspended indefinitely, leaving more than 100 people trained in energy retrofits without jobs.
"I believe that the PACE program is critical to stimulating our local and statewide economy," said San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders. "I'm glad to see this lawsuit filed so that this novel program can continue."
In his lawsuit, Brown asks the court to apply California law, require Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to recognize PACE assessments for what they are, and allow PACE to move California's economy forward.
The lawsuit is attached to this release. A letter from Attorney General Brown to President Obama is also attached. For a copy of the Attorney General's letter sent to federal housing regulators in May, please see http://ag.ca.gov/newsalerts/release.php?id=1920&

The Demon baseball team was in Mount Pleasant facing the Fort Madison Bloodhounds for the right to move on to sub-state. In a game heard on KCII, the two teams were scoreless through the first two innings despite each having opportunities to do so. The first runs came across in the bottom of the third with the Demons Jake Redlinger at the plate with bases loaded. Redlinger got a base hit to left to score two. Washington scored another run on a Colin Steele sac fly to center it was part of a four run third for Washington. The Demons would score three more for some insurance in the bottom of the sixth with two of those runs coming on an Anthony Ossman base hit. The Demons got the win 7-1. They got a complete game from Josh Moore who struck out three, walked two and even though Fort Madison had six hits they never really seemed to threaten.
Washington improves to 28-7 while Fort Madison ends their season at 14-21. Now the Demons move on and face Centerville in Ottumwa. Centerville was a 12-0 winner over Knoxville in six innings. The Demons haven't been this far in the post season since 1998 when they went to state.

They can't all be right.
A mixed bag of incredibly unscientific prognostications for the presidential election are collecting the last of their "data" in the hours before polling begins on Tuesday, and it seems President Barack Obama is headed toward re-election — well, in most cases.
Everything ranging from the Washington Redskins' loss Sunday to the number of coffee cups sold by 7-Eleven convenience stores is in this grab bag of "indicators." But it's unclear whether they will hold true, particularly since they're sending mixed signals. There are a few situations in which the indicators favor Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
One is the Redskins' loss Sunday to the Carolina Panthers. Legend has it that if the Redskins lose their last home game before a presidential election, the incumbent party will fall. That means Romney wins and Obama is out. The one time the indicator proved wrong was in 2004, but there has been talk that actually was right because in the previous election, George W. Bush lost the popular vote but won the electoral college. Go figure.
Romney also wins on what is known as the height indicator. Obama is listed as 6-feet, 1-inch while Romney comes in at 6-feet, 2-inches. In terms of predicting a close race, this may be the most prescient of them all.
Yet the other measures — at least the ones on this list — go to Obama. A poll conducted every four years by the youth magazine Scholastic shows Obama winning 51% to 45%. That poll has been right every election except two, in 1948 and 1960.
Obama also has two sports indicators working in his favor. First, the Los Angeles Lakers failure to make the NBA finals this year points to an Obama victory because when the venerable basketball franchise gets to the championship round in an election year, a Republican has won the White House. That has been true in every election since 1952 except 2008, when Obama beat Sen. John McCain.
The other sports indicator is the San Francisco Giants' recent World Series victory, which bodes well for Obama. A National League team winning the title usually helps a Democrat. But that indicator is spotty; it worked the last three elections but failed in four of the previous five.
There's also a couple of retail indicators in Obama's favor. One is the sale of Obama Halloween masks, which have sold more briskly than Romney masks.
And then there's the 7-Eleven indicator, which it calls "7-Election". During presidential election years, the convenience store chain offers blue and red coffee cups with candidates' names on them.The company says its cup sales have called the last three elections. This year, Obama cups are outselling Romney cups 59% to 41%.
Beware, however. The data may be a little suspect. For one, 16 states aren't included in the informal measure, 14 of which are considered to be firmly in the Romney camp. Plus, several states that are sure bets to go Romney's way have been put in the Obama camp by this metric, including Texas, Utah, Kansas and Arizona. Even more puzzling is that Romney gets only three states from 7-Eleven, and an eclectic mix at that: Idaho, West Virginia and the ever-blue Vermont.
But "7-Election" offers one interesting indicator. Wisconsin, considered one of several key battleground states, is a dead heat in cup sales at 50-50. Stay tuned.

It should use a color palette that is similar to our current site design. Please see http://www.napi.org/NAPItemplateV3.jpg for a draft of our site design.
There should be two components ... 1) an ovular seal (~125x75) and 2) the words "National Association of Private Investigators" (~225x75)
The ovular seal should include a graphical element that has law enforcement iconography (eg. sheild, star, badge etc) in the center and a border with "National Association of Private Investigators" wrapped around.
The words should standout on a white background but not appear to flashy. Just imagine how it will look in the template noted above.
The ovular seal will be re-purposed for other uses and should look decent in black and white as well

I like this description, specifically the areas I have highlighted which I think we need big time:
If he hadn't become a wide receiver, it's entirely possible that Allen could be a coveted safety in this draft. His experience on defense shows up on offense, where he has a great knack for finding space in coverage, working back to the ball to help his quarterback and using great hands as a dependable pass-catcher. He's dangerous with the ball in his hands. Allen has dealt with nagging injuries during his time at Cal, but is the kind of wideout who can come in and make his mark early, and Houston needs to find another weapon for Matt Schaub, with Andre Johnson on the backside of his career.

St. John's head coach Kim Barnes Arico has been named the 2012 Big East Coach of the Year.
It is the second time in her tenure that Barnes Arico has earned this prestigious honor. She was also honored in 2006 after leading the 2005-06 squad to an 11-5 league mark, 21-6 overall, and No. 4 seed in the 2006 conference tournament.
The award comes a day after Barnes Arico was named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Women's National Coach of the Year award watch list.
In her 10th year as head coach of the St. John's women's basketball team, Barnes Arico took a team that was picked to finish seventh in the Big East preseason coaches poll to a No. 2 seed in this year's conference tournament.
Barnes Arico has had a signature year so far, becoming the St. John's women's basketball program's all-time winningest coach with her February 12 victory at then-No. 17 Rutgers, 61-52. She also led St. John's to its third-straight 20-win season, her fifth overall as head coach and is the only coach in St. John's program-history to have five 20-win seasons.
When Barnes Arico was hired as head coach, she took over a St. John's program that was winless in the Big East to a yearly NCAA Tournament contender. She has led the program to three NCAA Tournament berths (2006, 2010, 2011), including back-to-back second round appearances in each of the past two seasons.
Queens native best in the MAAC
Iona College senior guard Scott Machado has been selected as the 2011-2012 Pepsi Max MAAC Player of the Year by the MAAC's head coaches.
Machado, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound senior guard from Queens is also a two-time member of the All-MAAC First Team. A finalist for the Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year award, he leads the nation in assists with 10.1 a night for the Gaels, while adding 13.1 points and 5.0 rebounds per game.
Machado is shooting 47.7 percent from the field, 40.2 percent from three-point range and 80.5 percent from the free throw line stripe. Named MAAC Player of the Week four times this season, he posted double digits in 22 games and 11 double-doubles during the regular season as well as his first career triple-double on February 12.
Boyd named NEC Player of the Year
After helping guide the LIU Brooklyn men's basketball team to its second straight regular-season league crown, junior Julian Boyd was named the 2011-12 Northeast Conference Player of the Year.
Boyd was also named to the All-NEC First Team, where he was joined by classmate Jamal Olasewere. Sophomore Jason Brickman earned All-NEC Second Team accolades.
Boyd, a finalist for the Lou Henson Mid-Major Player of the Year Award, averaged 17.3 points per game through the end of the regular season to place fifth in the NEC. His 9.3 rebounds per game lead the league and rank 30th in the country.
The San Antonio native averaged 17.9 points and 9.8 rebounds in conference contests. Boyd reached double figures in scoring on 26 occasions and topped the 20-point mark 10 times, including a season-high 29 against Saint Peter's on December 17.
Boyd becomes the fourth LIU player to take home NEC Player of the Year honors and the first since Charles Jones won for the second straight year in 1997-98. Carey Scurry was given the award after both the 1983-84 and 1984-85 seasons and Joe Griffin was honored during the 1994-95 season

Now obviously, the topic of Tim Tebow will ruffle some feathers. But I figured I'd at least try to defend Brock (here is the audio for Brock).
My memory is hardly a steel trap, but I remember back in 2010 when Pete used language in interviews that seemed to suggest he was faintly positive about Tebow, and even seemed mildly intrigued by Tebow's sky-high intangibles. As we know, John Schneider really values QB's who tilt the field, and while Tebow is a very poor passer, he is an outstanding leader who can make teammates believe they are destined to win even in the face of harsh adversity. In this regard, I could see interest in Seattle.
While I do not personally think it is a dealbreaker, Matt Flynn is not a read option QB, and that could hold Seattle's offense back after it has grown accustomed to having that wrinkle. It is not unthinkable that Tebow, who thrived in such an offense at Florida, might be able to compete about as well as Matt Flynn would in a mismatched offense.
Most teams do not have two good QBs. Good QBs are in very short supply. The real goal for most teams is having a game manager backup, a guy that you can bring in for a very short period of time that can keep your season alive by doing just enough to win games. When Seneca Wallace stepped in during the 2006 season, he led Seattle to a 2-2 record while Hasselbeck recovered. He was not stellar, but his value was potentially the difference between making and missing the playoffs that year. Tebow may not be an all-pro in the making, but he's cheap, and he's got a 7-4 record as a starter. And he ain't never played on a team like ours, either.
Tebow also adds value as a trick-play type player. Really, he's a little like what Colin Kaepernick was in SF during the 2011 season, minus the accuracy.
If Seattle unloads Flynn, it will mainly be due to salary reasons. I'm not expecting a massive draft pick return. Therefore, it makes sense to replace Flynn with a low cost QB. That will probably be a draft pick. But if on the chance Seattle walks out of the draft without a QB and is looking at what's out there, Tim Tebow could probably be had for the minimum (if he's released by the Jets), which would hold some appeal. If Seattle did actually trade (a can of peanuts) for Tebow, the cap hit would be $2.5 million in 2013 and 900k in 2014. It would be nice if he cost less, but that's still a pretty big savings over Flynn or any decent FA QB.
My take:
I would sooner draft several QBs, or acquire Matt Moore (in free agency?). And this is of course assuming that Flynn is dealt, because otherwise there is no point to this. But if for argument's sake, Seattle gets an offer they can't refuse for Flynn (4th round pick or better) in March and they deal him, then they walk into the draft and end up not getting the guy they wanted, at that point Seattle will have to start surfing the waiver wire for whatever they can get at backup. In that scenario, where the best available options would be guys like Vince Young, T-Jack, and Tebow, I think I'd prefer Tebow. He's essentially no worse of a passer than T-Jack but with far superior running skill and durability.
So for me, it would be way down the list of options, but if it did happen, I wouldn't freak out. Really, if our guys made that call, I'd trust them. It would probably end up just being short term fun, if nothing else.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — With point guard superstars (Chris Paul) and luminaries (Chauncey Billups) on the roster, it must be tough for a youngster like Eric Bledsoe to find time to shine.
He's also operating on a team that features the one-man, crossover freakshow that is Jamal Crawford, whose exploits on a nightly basis inspire these sorts of tweets:
But with Paul (knee) joining Billups on the Los Angeles Clippers' bench the past two games, their young apprentice has been at the controls and the Clippers didn't slow down one bit.
They followed up a 26-point rout of the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night with another solid thumping of the Houston Rockets last night. Bledsoe was fantastic in both, dropping 14 points, four assists and three rebounds on Mike Conley and the Grizzlies and then a season-high 19 points, seven rebounds, five assists on Jeremy Lin and the Rockets.
Bledsoe knows he has to bide his time behind his more heralded teammates, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have plenty of ambition to fuel his fire in the meantime. He couldn't have two better tutors. And he's already formulated his plan, according to my main man Broderick Turner of The Los Angeles Times:
"I'm just preparing for that moment," Bledsoe said in his typically quiet voice. "I'm still learning behind Chris and Chauncey. Hopefully, we win a championship and if I do get that chance, I can lead a team."
Bledsoe started for the second consecutive game because Paul was out because of a bruised right kneecap. Bledsoe finished with a season-high 19 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the Clippers' 117-109 victory over Houston.
But Bledsoe knows that Paul is an All-Star point guard who is just 27 years old.
If Paul re-signs with the Clippers over the summer as most people expect, it will mean Bledsoe may have to leave the Clippers to become a starter.
"I'm just focused on winning," Bledsoe said. "I'm just focused on winning and learning how to win right now. For the most part, I'm just continuing working and building, learning how to run a team. The other stuff will take care of itself."
The Clippers are deep enough at every position that they should be able to resist any urge to dangle Bledsoe in the trade market this season, preserving their right to groom him for a bigger role in the event that Paul's decides to go elsewhere (which seems implausible, considering the way the Clippers are playing this season).
Bledsoe is a luxury that not every team in the league has, a youngster with superstar potential that they can take their time grooming for bigger and better things.
In a league filled with young, talented point guard prospects, Bledsoe might very well be the most underrated due to his current circumstance. He also has one of the highest ceilings.

Dec. 15, 2008
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Former UC Santa Barbara baseball standout Chris Valaika was named the Cincinnati Reds' Minor League Player of the Year for 2008.
Valaika, 23, last season played at Class A Sarasota and Class AA Chattanooga. In 129 games the Florida State League All-Star hit .317 with 18 home runs, 81 RBI and nine stolen bases. Valaika led all Reds Minor League batters in hitting and ranked second in RBI. He played for the U.S. team in the prestigious XM All-Star Futures Game at Yankee Stadium. Following the season, he played for Peoria in the Arizona Fall League and in 32 games hit .311 with two home runs and 16 RBI.
Valaika was selected by the Reds in the third round of the June 2006 First-Year Player Draft after a terrific career at UCSB. In his final year with the Gauchos, Valaika hit .335 and led the team with 10 home runs and 57 RBI.
"We are very excited for him," UCSB head coach Bob Brontsema said. "It is an incredibly prestigious award and a great honor. I know he'd trade it all in for a long major league career, but he's worked very hard and he's very deserving of this award."
The Reds' Minor League player of the year award is named after Sheldon "Chief" Bender, who spent 64 years in baseball. He spent his last 39 years in the game with the Reds in their scouting and player development departments.
Valaika joins an exclusive group of Reds players who have won this award and gone on to successful major league careers including Austin Kearns (2000), Adam Dunn (2001), Homer Bailey (2006) and Jay Bruce (2007).
UCSB - a nationally recognized university in both academic and athletic excellence - is located on the central coast of California in a picturesque campus and community setting on the Pacific Ocean. Each year over 450 Division 1 Gaucho student-athletes compete for national championships, succeed in the classroom, and give back to the community.

There was one other letter from my great uncle Adam Tabor Jr to my grandfather, Clarence Tabor (a.k.a. - Corp). It's short and sweet and somewhat concludes the estate battle...or at least it does pretty much what Adam Jr said he would do.
"July 5, 1960
Scranton, Pa
Dear Corp
Sorry I could not send you the money any sooner. I had attack of the virus, and had to stay home a few days. Enclosed is a check for $300.00 and a judgement note; for your and Flossie to sign. In that there is proof you received the money from me. Please have you and Flossie sign the note and send it back to me. I hope you have good luck in N. Jersey to procuring work.
Your Brother,
So my grandfather was looking for work when all this happened. Obviously in financial need with a wife and 2 kids. I don't know if the job in New Jersey ever panned out, but I know my father and uncle never moved from Hazleton, PA so if the job worked out, my grandfather must have commuted. Not really feasible at the time. It would be a long commute. Something someone might do today, but not back then (I suppose).
Another thing that I find crossing my mind is why does uncle Adam keep referring to having "the virus"? I know he lived for another 25 years so whatever it is is certainly a mystery to me. I may have his death certificate. I'm not sure. I will certainly be looking though.
