Keystone XL Pipeline Does Little Environmental Harm, US Finds
(WASHINGTON) -- The Obama administration Friday moved one step closer to approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, concluding in a draft environmental impact statement that the project would not accelerate global greenhouse gas emissions or significantly harm the natural habitats along its route.
The report, done by the State Department, suggests that the proposed 875-mile pipeline, which would carry 830,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, to Steele City, Nebraska, has cleared a significant hurdle on its way to President Obama's desk for final consideration.
"The approval or denial of any one crude oil transport project, including this proposed project, really remains unlikely to significantly impact the rate of development of the oil sands or the continued demand for heavy crude oil in the U.S.," said Kerri-Ann Jones, the Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs.
The State Department, which conducted the study because the pipeline would cross an international boundary, also suggested in a voluminous report that impacts on air, water and landscape would be minimal.
The agency found it "very unlikely" that the pipeline would affect water quality in any of the four aquifers through which it crossed. It also concluded that along one part of the proposed route, in the case of a large-scale oil spill, "these impacts would typically be limited to within several hundred feet of the release source, and would not affect groundwater."
Government analysts found that Keystone XL would each year produce the equivalent carbon dioxide emissions of 620,000 passenger cars operating for a year. But they concluded that whether or not the pipeline is approved, those emissions would still likely occur because of fuels produced and obtained from other sources.
The release of the draft report reignited debate over climate change and President Obama's pledge to do something about it.
Environmental activists have been lobbying Obama hard to block the plan — some recently chaining themselves to the White House fence in protest. Many environmental groups see rejection of the pipeline as a litmus test for whether Obama intends to fulfill his pledge from the second inaugural.
"It seems like Secretary Kerry and the State Department missed President Obama's State of the Union and inaugural address," said Erich Pica, president of Friends of the Earth. "The draft SEIS reads like an on-ramp to justify the Keystone XL pipeline project. We cannot solve the climate crisis when the State Department fails to understand the basic climate, environmental and economic impacts of the Keystone XL pipeline."
Pica and other environmental advocates have called the pipeline a "carbon bomb," increasing the use of tar sands oil, which is one of the dirtiest to produce and transport.
The oil industry, some members of Congress, and the nation's major labor unions, which stand to gain construction jobs with the pipeline's approval, all welcomed the news.
"No matter how many times KXL is reviewed, the result is the same: no significant environmental impact," said Marty Durbin of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry lobby.
"The latest impact statement from the State Department puts this important, job-creating project one step closer to reality," he said. "The last approval needed is by President Obama, and we urge him to do so as soon as possible."
Canada, which has long lobbied the U.S. for approval of the deal, also hailed the State Department's report as a step forward.
"The Keystone XL pipeline will create tens of thousands of jobs on both sides of the border," said Canadian natural resources minister Joe Oliver.
In 2011, the Obama administration came close to approving an earlier version of the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have stretched from Alberta to the Gulf of Mexico. The deal was tabled after a dispute over the portion of the route through Nebraska, though officials later green-lighted construction of the southern portion of the pipeline.
Nebraska, Montana and South Dakota have now all signed-off on the pipeline plan and their governors and congressional delegations have been calling on Obama to follow suit.
One potential wild card: new Secretary of State John Kerry, a longtime advocate of action to combat climate change. He will play an influential role in finalizing the department's review and recommendation before presenting it to Obama, who has said he'll make the final call.

"Warrior" is a movie about two estranged brothers on opposite sides of Pennsylvania who fight in an MMA competition.
I have no recollection of it coming out in the fall of 2011, and the fact that it's available to stream on Netflix (exactly zero new popular movies are on streaming) tells you that it's a pretty under the radar movie.
But it's great. I haven't liked a sports movie this much since "The Wrestler" in 2008. You should watch it.
What's remarkable about this movie is its ambitiousness.
It tries to marry two distinct styles of sports movies, 1) the gritty style of something like "The Wrestler" or the short-lived TV show Luck, and 2) the grand soft-focus style of something like "Rocky" or any traditional, big-budget sports movie.
"Warrior" moves back and forth between these two styles. You'll get a scene of long, mumble-y dialogue to map out the emotional dimensions of the characters, followed by a training montage that's straight out of "Rudy."
As a result the movie more or less gets away with every indulgent sports-movie cliche in the book.
There's a lot more to like:
The acting is great. Tom Hardy is in it, and Tom Hardy is awesome. Nick Nolte is also good as he growls his way through a performance as the two brothers' father.
It gets all the little things right. The little touches in this movie are great. The MMA stuff is accurate and they refuse to dumb it down in any way. The high school kids talk like high school kids.The fighters look, talk, and walk like fighters.
It's good. Watch it if you have Netflix.

Slow Food Seattle Book Club: "Relish" by Lucy Knisley
Chat with fellow food and book lovers at the Slow Food Seattle book club! We are a casual, easy-going group and all are welcome to attend.
Our first book for Jan 2014 is "Relish: My Life in the Kitchen" by comic artist Lucy Knisley. This is a graphic memoir/cookbook illustrating (literally!) her life so far via her experiences with food. The official book blurb is below along with a peek inside the book.
We will be meeting on Thu, Jan 9 at 6:30pm at Zoka Coffee Roasters on Blakeley behind U-Village. Please see the RSVP links below for more specifics.
Our book clubs are a great way to get to know people in the Slow Food organization. We meet every other month to discuss a food title, and we're always happy to meet new book and food lovers!
In order to reserve space appropriately, we are asking for RSVPs by Jan 3. You can RSVP here on our Facebook page or here on our Eventbrite page for those not on FB. Thanks!
Book description:
Lucy Knisley loves food. The daughter of a chef and a gourmet, this talented young cartoonist comes by her obsession honestly. In her forthright, thoughtful, and funny memoir, Lucy traces key episodes in her life thus far, framed by what she was eating at the time and lessons learned about food, cooking, and life. Each chapter is bookended with an illustrated recipe—many of them treasured family dishes, and a few of them Lucy's original inventions.
A welcome read for anyone who ever felt more passion for a sandwich than is strictly speaking proper, Relish is a graphic novel for our time: it invites the reader to celebrate food as a connection to our bodies and a connection to the earth, rather than an enemy, a compulsion, or a consumer product.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have requested permission to interview New York Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien and two other NFL assistants for their head-coaching vacancy, various team and league sources said Monday.
Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum later confirmed the Jaguars' request to interview Schottenheimer, who has been New York's offensive coordinator for six years and built the NFL's top-ranked rushing attack in 2009 and second-best in 2010. Schottenheimer signed a contract extension through 2012 during the offseason.
Jets coach Rex Ryan said he believes there is a 50 percent chance that Schottenheimer will return to the Jets next season, citing his offensive coordinator's readiness to be an NFL head coach.
The Jaguars also asked for and received permission to speak with O'Brien, a league source told NFL Network's Michael Lombardi. In his first season as the Patriots' offensive coordinator, O'Brien guided the league's No. 2 overall offense. He also serves as the team's quarterbacks coach.
A league source also said the Jaguars have requested an interview with Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, who has emerged as one of the hottest coaching candidates because of his work turning the team from the league's worst offense in 2010 to the No. 5 scoring unit this season under rookie quarterback Cam Newton.
Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey is the third coach the Jaguars have requested to speak to, according to a team source.
Falcons coach Mike Smith later confirmed that the team has "signed off and granted that opportunity" for Mularkey to interview with the Jaguars. Smith said Mularkey's "sole focus" this week is on Sunday's playoff game at the New York Giants.
Mularkey went 14-18 in two seasons (2004-05) as the Buffalo Bills' coach. He has been the Falcons' offensive coordinator since 2008, helping mentor quarterback Matt Ryan. That could help his chances in Jacksonville, where the Jaguars are trying to get more out of rookie Blaine Gabbert.
Mularkey's son, Patrick Mularkey, is a Jaguars scout.
Mularkey interviewed with the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns last season.
Interim coach Mel Tucker also is a candidate to keep the position, and he's interviewing for it as well. Tucker took over after Jack Del Rio was fired Nov. 29, and he went 2-3 with the Jaguars.
More candidates will be contacted this week.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The other night I made one of my favorite soups, Cream of Mushroom with Port Wine. It has been cold and rainy as usual here in the Pacific Northwest, so I was craving something creamy, rich, and warm. But, like I have said in the past, if I try to put soup on the table and call it dinner Kevin thinks I have lost my mind. So my new plan is, when I want to make soup (which will be a LOT this winter), I will make some kind of a sandwich for him. That way we can both be happy right?
Well I can tell you he was very happy when he found out that I was making Steak Sandwiches. It was not only meat, but it was nice thick cut beef. You would think I gave him a million dollars when I handed him this sandwich! Hhhmmm maybe that is the answer to what to give him for Christmas. Naaa I can't wrap up steaks, they would go bad. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
He was actually happy with the soup as well. He loves mushrooms and with the port wine in the soup it has such a rich deep flavor it complimented the steak very very well. He even took a sandwich and soup for lunch the next day. I told him he would really appreciate that soup when he was cold at work and it was warm and creamy. I was right. Well why would he even doubt me?
I have to say that I blew it on the picture gang. Fist I am still having problems with my lighting so that is always an issue. But, and I will blame this on Kevin wanting his sandwich right away, this sandwich does not have the caramelized onions on it! UGH!! I didn't realize my mess up until we had already started eating and he asked where his onions were. So you will have to take my word that they looked scrumptious!!
Also, I am very excited to announce I have been nominated for 2012 Best Food Blogger!! I can't tell you how shocked I was when I received the notification. So if you could just do me a favor by clicking the little "love" button at the top right corner, or just click on the name of my blog in the same area, you will be able to give me a vote. Thank you all so much!!
Spicy Steak Sandwiches with Caramelized Onions
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1-1/4 lb. flank steak
4 large sandwich rolls, split
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
3 tablespoons horseradish
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mixed greens
1 tsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1-1/4 lb. flank steak
4 large sandwich rolls, split
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
3 tablespoons horseradish
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mixed greens
Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat until hot, or heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Add the onion slices and sautee the onions until they begin to brown lightly, approx 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Season the steak with salt and pepper and grill, flipping once, until cooked to your liking. Approx 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the steak across the grain
Toast the rolls cut side down on the hot grill pan until lightly browned.
Combine the cheese, mayonnaise, horseradish, and cayenne in a small bowl and spread it on the bottom halves of the rolls.
Divide the onion, steak, and greens among the rolls and serve.

The Turtles, whose meteoric shot across the pop charts lasted from 1965 to 1970, have been doing these Happy Together tours, featuring a changing cast of characters, since 1984.
Plenty of gray hairs and 1960s-'70s musical nostalgia, on stage and off, at the South Shore Music Circus Saturday night, but also a couple hours of warm feelings and topnotch musicianship, as "The Turtles, with Flo & Eddie" and their latest version of the annual Happy Together Tour hit Cohasset before a crowd of about 2,000 giddy fans.
No less than four acts preceded the headliners, all backed by a crack four-piece band of (slightly) younger musical pros, including bandleader Godfrey Townsend on guitar, drummer/vocalist Steve Murphy, bassist John Montana, and keyboardist Manny Focarazo. The lineup; Gary Lewis of the Playboys, Mitch Ryder of the Detroit Wheels, Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad, and Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night each did approximately 20-minute sets, which translated to about four songs on average. The Turtles' headlining set was a bit longer, and featured one final jam-out, where each previous performer returned for a brief reprise of their best-known hit.
The Turtles, whose meteoric shot across the pop charts lasted from 1965 to 1970, have been doing these Happy Together tours, featuring a changing cast of characters, since 1984, or shortly after Turtles frontmen Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman regained legal rights to the band name. After the original Turtles dissolved in 1970 amid record label hassles – including demanding that Volman and Kaylan fire their bandmates and record and tour with hired hands – the two principals joined Frank Zappa's band, under the pseudonyms Flo & Eddie. Eventually they began releasing music under that name, while still maintaining the connection with Zappa's group.
As Kaylan noted Saturday, the first version of the Happy Together tour played just 16 dates, while this year's edition is performing at 56 different venues. It's a fast-paced evening, heavy on the hits, with gracious and charming music veterans seemingly just as eager to reunite with their fans as the audience is to see and hear them all these years later.
Personally, I'd like to hear more of the Turtles, as their unique blend of poppy folk-rock and good-natured weirdness is guaranteed to provoke smiles on the most cynical music fan. The Turtles came charging down the ramp to the stage, with Volman in a bright, sparkly green jacket, his bushy hair bouncing as he cavorted around the stage, while Kaylan made a more dignified entry in his black pork-pie hat, and a white sportcoat decorated with little black palm trees. That exuberant entrance led easily into the buoyant "She'd Rather Be With Me," a nugget from their first year as rock stars, '65.
The sweet crooning melody of "You Baby," also from '65, was another keepsake moment, and it was obvious Kaylan, 67, still has terrific vocal ability. Volman, also 67, seemed to confine himself to harmonies, and at some points all four of the backing musicians were also adding to the delectable vocal harmonies. How many fans recalled that the Turtles' first hit was a remake of a Bob Dylan tune? "It Ain't Me Babe" was every bit the neatly re-done gem it was way back then, folk-rock imbued with Beach Boys-style vocals, which was a natural effect given that the Turtles were basically California teenagers at the time. 1968's "Elenore" was a more conventional pop ballad, although still irresistibly bouncy, and then of course the mass singalong/love-in that is the song "Happy Together" was the climactic moment, leading to that big finale of mini-encores by everyone else.
Earlier Chuck Negron had proven to be a fine vocalist on his own – Three Dog Night featured three lead singers, including Cory Wells and Danny Hutton. Three Dog Night dominated the charts, to the tune of 12 gold albums, from 1968-76, when they broke up, before reuniting in '81. (Negron left the band in 1985, struggling with substance abuse, while the others have continued performing, off and on, to the present day, when Hutton and Wells still front a version of Three Dog Night.)
Negron, looking spiffy in his black sportcoat over a salmon-colored shirt, with aviator shades and a head of luxuriant brown hair, opened with a vibrant take on "Mama Told Me Not to Come." Three Dog Night used a wide variety of songwriters, and that song was from Randy Newman, while the rapidly rock-paced "Eli's Coming" from 1969 was a Laura Nyro tune. At the end of that showstopper, Negron admitted that he'd never realized he'd still be singing that song "in my mid-50s." As the crowd gave out a collective chuckle, Negron admitted he is the oldest trouper on this tour, at 72. "I figure I'll have one or two more kids and then take it easy." he said.
Comedy aside, Negron did a fabulous job on Harry Nilsson's "One (Is the Loneliest Number)," and then finished his set with 1971's Record of the Year, which was one of his lead vocals back in the day, on "Joy to the World," the Hoyt Axton tune perhaps best known for its opening line "Jeremiah was a bullfrog."
Just before intermission, Grand Funk Railroad's former lead singer and guitarist Mark Farner electrified the crowd with his own dynamic set. (Original bassist Mel Schacher and drummer Don Brewer still perform with the Grand Funk RR name.) Farner, 65, appeared to be in the best shape of all the acts, in his tight T-shirt and jeans, with his waist-length hair flowing as he roamed the circular stage playing his wireless guitar.
Farner hit the stage running at high speed with Grand Funk's rocked-up take on the old Little Eva hit, "The Loco-motion," and then led a pulverizing romp through "We're An American Band." The only quibble we'd have is that neither Farner's nor Townsend's guitar lines were very high in the mix, and Grand Funk was, after all, essentially a guitar band. Band drummer Murphy sang the lead on "Some Kind of Wonderful," Grand Funk's 1975 hit, and earned a loud ovation. Farner's crowning moment was a long and soulful take on "I'm Your Captain," where his passionate vocal and special guitar effects elevated that 1970 chestnut to new heights.
Mitch Ryder looked the most like today's rockers, in his black jeans, black T-shirt and black cap, but his raw-but-righteous vocals are still galvanizing at 69. With material like "C.C. Ryder" and his iconic garage-rocker "Devil With a Blue Dress," the Detroit legend was still a gritty whirlwind.
Gary Lewis, the son of comic Jerry Lewis, had a string of hits in the mid-1960s, none bigger than 1965's "This Diamond Ring" – which was penned by rock Zelig/now Berklee professor Al Kooper. Lewis sounded in vintage form on "This Diamond Ring" in his multi-colored/not-quite psychedelic sportshirt, and especially appreciative of the audience reaction. Lewis' music career never quite recovered after he was drafted and spent 1967-68 in the Army, serving in South Korea among other places. But just two years ago, Lewis, 69, released a new album, "The Promise."

I have a 5x7 Premo Long Focus circa the late 1890's in very good condition except for the lens and shutter assembly which was a total loss. The lens that was on the camera was a Gundlach Opt. Co. but the original lens was probably a Baush & Lomb "Star" or "Victor" rectillinear lens (one of which I am looking for now). Now I intend to keep an original lens on the camera to stay true to authenticity but I would like to retrofit the camera with a better lens for more coverage. The camera is in perfect working order with light tight bellows (with 16-18 inches of extension!) and I've found that it has surprisingly more movement then I would have expected. I'd like to put a 210mm lens (capable of covering 5x7 with movements) on the camera to do some more movement oriented shooting (I will of course also shoot with an original lens if I can find one). The problem is that the lens board is only 2 3/4 inches x 2 3/4 inches and the hole for the lens is only 1 7/16 inches in diameter, far too small to fit a 210mm lens onto. I know that this particular camera is seen very rarely but the sister to it, the Premo Senior, is somewhat more common and I was hoping that someone out there has experimented with bigger lenses on these cameras and could offer some insight. I understand that I can enlarge the hole in the lens board (I'd prefer not to alter the original lens board) or make a new lens board with a bigger hole but are there any other options to get more bang out of this camera? Thanks in advance for your insight!

Railers plow past Raiders and never look back
By Jeff Benjamin
Send a link to a friend
[January 23, 2014]
JACKSONVILLE — When your
opponent outscores your team's leading scorer on the night by just
one point, either your top gun had one heck of a night or your
defense was in top form. For the Railers on Wednesday night, it was
a heavy dose of the latter.
Hmmm, maybe there is a theme of 16 at this tournament. On Monday
night, Lincoln coach Neil Alexander became the 16th coach in
Illinois to win 700 games, and Wednesday night QND scored only 16
points as the Railers picked up their 16th win of the season. Of
course, there is the obvious fact that Lincoln is named for and
christened by ... the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. Wonder what
Friday night will bring?
In every category, the fourth-ranked Lincoln squad was in top
form against the Raiders (5-11). After Tyler Horchem and Edward
Bowlby opened the scoring with two of Lincoln's eight first-half 3s,
Quincy Notre Dame scored their first points with a 3 of their own.
Now, there's kicking up a gear, not letting down and so on, but what
the Railers did next was (you fans of the movie "Spaceballs" will
understand) go plaid. In my 13 years of doing Railer games, I can
honestly say I had never seen a 43-2 run.
After the 3 by QND, Lincoln scored the next 31 points and did so
in many Railer ways, mostly from long distance. A Gavin Block 3
started the run, which was followed by an alley-oop lob and two more
3s from Bowlby. A 3 from Max Cook, which ties him for 12th on the
all-time list at 109 (with Derek Schrader), put Lincoln up 20-3 at
the end of the first quarter. And the rout was just getting started.
Defense keyed the continuation of the run to start the second
quarter as two steals from Horchem resulted in drives to the basket,
where he was fouled. He did not convert the layups, but he hit four
in a row from the free-throw line. After the last of the charity
tosses, a steal on an inbounds pass by Joey Olden turned into three
points after he was fouled on a reverse layup and made the free
throw. By this time, QND was shellshocked as they were down 27-3.
The dominance continued. As Lincoln ran their record over the
last 27 games at the Winter Classic to 26-1, Block added to the
scoring with a 3, a result of hustle to save the possession by Bobby
Dunovsky. Dunovsky was rewarded on the next trip downcourt with a 3
of his own. By now, Alexander had the luxury of getting players lots
of needed rest, both as a result of the draining weekend past and
the upcoming schedule of three games this weekend.
Adam Conrady made his presence known as he posted strong on the
low block, taking the feed from Bowlby to get the first of his
career-high eight points. Will Cook also saw significant playing
time and joined in the fun with a basket on the way to his career
best of nine. QND finally scored in the second quarter, but the
tally left them trailing 37-5. A jumper from Conrady ended the
first-half scoring at 39-5.
One habit that has plagued the Railers has been that once up by a
comfortable margin, they have a tendency to throw it in cruise
control, take themselves out of their game and slip into some bad
habits. That was not the case Wednesday night.
After an inside move by Bowlby started the scoring, Block
connected for the next eight points. The two combined for 29 points
as the only players in double figures for the Railers. After a rare
basket from the Raiders, Will Cook knocked down a 3-pointer followed
by another score from Bowlby. At 54-8, it was the last score of the
night for any of the Railer starters.
Payton Ebelherr took his turn hitting from long range, and
Conrady scored underneath again. Quincy Notre Dame was finally able
to reach double figures on a basket with 12 seconds left in the
third quarter, ending that quarter's scoring at 59-11.
[to top of second column]
Due to the margin being over 30 and in the fourth quarter,
the final eight-minute session did not take long as the running
clock was in effect. Conrady continued his solid play with
another score, and Will Cook hit a pair of free throws and a
floater high off the glass. Lincoln's final points came on a
basket by Aron Hopp and a putback from Garrett Aeilts.
Even with the win, games like this are not always easy to watch.
They are also not easy to coach.
"Well, the toughest part of a game like this is getting some of
the kids on the floor," Alexander said. "All these guys are at
practice every day, they work hard, and they deserve to see the
floor as well."
When the starters were off the court, there was no letdown in
this one, a game that was decided by a margin (53) that looks more
like the average number of points Lincoln scores in a game.
The Railers were led by Bowlby with 15 and Block with 14. Will
Cook added nine, with Conrady scoring eight and Horchem chipping in
with seven. Lincoln got three each from Max Cook, Olden, Ebelherr
and Dunovsky, while Hopp and Aeilts scored two each.
Lincoln shot very, very well on the night, hitting 50 percent
from the floor, including 12 of 31 from 3-point range. On the flip
side, QND made only six of their 31 shots. The Lincoln defense
forced 20 turnovers. On offense, the Railers handed out 18 assists,
led by the Cooks: Max with six, Will with four. Will Cook also had
six steals on the night, while Max and Block had four rebounds each.
After the day off Thursday, the Railers are back in Jacksonville
on Friday, facing off against the host for the week, the Crimsons
coached by J.R. Dugan. Game time is scheduled for 8 p.m. and is the
third game of the session.
Earlier in the second session at The Bowl, Taylorville knocked
off Rochester 60-53, and the night was finalized as Glenwood slipped
past Jacksonville 54-49.
Through the first two nights, the standings show Lincoln and
Glenwood tied at 2-0, Jacksonville and Taylorville at 1-1, and
Rochester and QND each looking for their first win during the week.

Do you have a generator at your home or business?
Many families and businesses in the modern world run on electricity, and don't truly understand the importance until they've suffered an outage. Electrical failure limits your ability to feed yourself, store and administer medicines, use medical equipment, or perform countless other essential activities. It also prevents you from accessing the Internet or television, making it impossible to confirm whether the event that caused the outage is over.
T.K. Lyden Electric & Generator helps you keep your lights on under any circumstances. As a generator service company operating in Central Massachusetts, we provide installation, repairs, and upgrades to all local homes and businesses, allowing you to obtain redundant power affordably, efficiently, and reliably.

Likewise, when we install solar panels, we create another redundant source of power for sunny days, so you will not have to rely on the generator throughout the entire outage. We also upgrade your appliances to limit energy use during the day. The less energy your building uses, the less power you will need from the generator, allowing you to keep the lights on even when fuel is low.

Dear Nursing Home Administrator Letter: Heat Advisory
July 6, 2010
Dear Administrator:
With the arrival of extended periods of high temperatures and humidity, you are encouraged to take the necessary precautions to prevent heat related illnesses. Residents with a history of dehydration, cardiovascular and/or pulmonary disease are particularly susceptible to heat related illnesses and complications. To assist in preventing heat illness among your residents during the hot and humid weather, it is recommended that all staff be especially alert to the signs, symptoms and consequences of heat prostration, heat stroke and heat cramps.
Heat Prostration
- Warning Signals: Gradual weakness, nausea, anxiety, excess sweating, syncope (fainting).
- Appearance and Signs: Skin is pale, grayish and clammy.
- Management: For syncope: Place head down and administer cool, slightly salty fluids immediately.
Heat Stroke (Serious Emergency)
- Warning Signals: Headache, weakness and sudden loss of consciousness.
- Appearance and Signs: Hot, red, dry skin, little sweating, very high temperature and hard, rapid pulse.
- Management: Immediately cool skin by wrapping or immersing in cold water or ice. Call 911 or paramedics.
Heat Cramps
- Warning Signals: Severe cramps and spasms in the arms, legs and/or abdomen.
- Appearance and Signs: Skin may be hot and dry, or cool and clammy, depending on the humidity. The muscles feel like hard knots.
- Management: Provide cool fluids and foods containing sodium chloride (table salt).
The following measures should also be taken to prevent heat related illnesses:
- Alert staff to monitor residents for the signs and symptoms of heat illness (listed above). Notify the physician of such observations and obtain medical services, if needed.
- Review resident medications and identify those that may cause residents to become more susceptible to heat and sunlight.
- Assure that facility policies and procedures for heat emergency situations are current, complete and known to all staff.
- Monitor temperatures on nursing units, particularly on hot, humid days.
- Use air circulating and air cooling equipment (window fans, floor fans, mechanical ventilation systems and air conditioners) to achieve and maintain air movement and air cooling within the facility, especially in resident rooms and resident use areas.
- Monitor choice of residents' clothing to ensure they are appropriate in extreme temperatures and are not too heavy or vapor-impermeable.
- Protect against temperature elevations within the facility by closing window blinds and shades on sun exposed walls; opening windows on shaded walls; and turning off heat generating devices, such as lights in the daytime.
- Assure, through active encouragement and assistance when necessary, that residents maintain adequate fluid intake, e.g., water and fruit juices. Alcohol should be avoided.
- Adjust menus as needed, incorporating items such as cold plates, salads, etc. Consult with your dietician.
- Encourage residents not to lie or sit in direct sunlight, e.g., if outside, encourage residents to sit in shaded areas. Use sunscreen, as necessary.
- Monitor residents engaging in physical activities. Discourage strenuous physical activity as appropriate.
Thank you in advance for your efforts to provide our residents with a safe environment that allows them to enjoy a meaningful and satisfying quality of life. If you have any questions, please call the Bureau of Quality Assurance and Surveillance for Nursing Homes at (518) 408-1282.

Skip to comments.Ronald Reagan jokes about the Soviet Union
Posted on 02/07/2009 3:07:41 PM PST by mainestategop
Its hard to get an automobile in the soviet union. They are owned mainly by elite bureaucrats. It takes an average of 10 years to get a car. 1 out of 7 families owned automobiles. You have to go through a major process and put the money out in advance. so this man did this and the dealer said "okay in 10 years come get your car." "Morning or afternoon?" The man replied. "well what difference does it make?" Said the dealer. "The plumber is coming in the morning."
In another car incident, Gorbachev was late from getting to the Kremlin from his house. He told the chauffer, "Look we are running late so let me drive. I insist." So He told the Chaufer to get in the back and he drove. Meanwhile the police were given strict orders to ticket anyone speeding no matter how important. So they were speeding down Moscow and two motorcycle cops pulled them over but didn't ticket him after he saw who it was. He goes back to the station and talks about it and was asked, "Why didn't you ticket him? "Too important." "Who was it?" "I didn't recognize him, but his driver was Gorbachev!"
Castro was making a speech to a large assembly. Someone out in the crowd said, "peanuts popcorn crackerjack." This happened about 4 times. So Castro gets annoyed and says, the next man who says that gets deported to Miami. The entire crowd stands up and yells, "POPCORN! PEANUTS! CRACKERJACK!"
The Commisar came to the collective farms to see how the harvest was doing and asked a farmer and the farmer said "Oh commrade commisar! If we took all the potatoes, they would reach the foot of God." "Comrade farmer, this is the Soviet Union. There is no God." "Thats okay, there are no potatoes."
Two Russians were walking down the street, one asked the other, "Have we really achieved full communism?" The other said "oh no. Things are about to get worse."
Sam:About the contunuing reccesion you have blamed mistakes of the past and the congress. Does any of the blame belong to you?
Reagan: Yes because for many years I was a Democrat.
If only we had someone like Ronald again....sigh
Oh that marvelous President Reagan! Can you imagine the uproar if presidents today told great jokes like that? But as absolutely without humor BO is, he'd mess up the punch line anyway.
After one year of Barack Osama, they'll be telling jokes about us.
Two Americans are walking down the road, one asks, "Have we really achieved CHANGE?" The other replies, "No things are still going to get a lot worse."
That one about Gorbchev driving a car was really funny.
The MSM would laugh at BO's joke no matter how badly he butchered them.
"My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws the United States of America forever.
The bombing begins in five minutes."
"Nothing is wrong! Especially in Chernobyl!"
LOL thats a good one!
I for one welcome our ant overlords...
Don Rickles on Dean Martin Roasts Reagan:
I loved Yakov Smirnoff's joke about why there was no baseball in the Soviet Union. "Because no one ever gets out." I saw him shortly thereafter and said there was anotehr reason. He asked what that was. "Because," I told him, "no one is ever safe either."
A Russian schoolteacher asks her class for comments about Adam and Eve.
One girl replies that they are Russian.
The teacher asks the girl why she thinks this.
The girl replies, "They have no clothes, no food, and no shelter, but they think they're in Paradise".
There were three dogs, an american dog, a polish dog and a russian dog. they're having a visit to the U.S., and the american dog was telling them how you have to bark along enough and then sombody comes along and gives you some meat. the polish dog said what's meat. the russian dog said what's bark.
There was a funny joke about Erich Honecker in the movie "The Lives of Others":
Early in the morning, Honecker arrives at his office and opens his window. He sees the sun and says: "Good morning, dear Sun!"
The sun replies: "Good morning, dear Erich!"
Honecker works, and then at noon he heads to the window and says: "Good day, dear Sun!"
The sun replies: "Good day, dear Erich!"
In the evening, Erich calls it a day, and heads once more to the window, and says: "Good evening, dear Sun!"
The sun is silent.
Honecker says again: "Good evening, dear Sun! What's the matter?"
The sun replies: "Kiss my arse. I'm in the West now."
You really need to see the video of these to get the timing and how get he actaully was.... He loves to tell jokes...He just lights up when he does...
not get of course but good....

The marker stands at the grave of a medical doctor, Dr. A. S. Weatherby (d. 1870). There is a square and compass above the inscription, a symbol that identifies Weatherby as a Freemason.
Nov. 23, 1870,
Aged 33 Yrs
7 Mo, 8 d's.
In 1871, "The Cincinnati Lancet and Observer" printed this obituary:
Dr. A. S. Weatherby.—Died of consumption at Cardington, Ohio, November 23,1870, Dr. A. S. Weatherby, aged 33 years and 6 months. He was born near Chesterville, O., April 15th, 1837. Commenced the study of medicine under Dr. N. E. Haekedorn, of Galion, O., October 22, 1858, and graduated in the Cincinnati College of Medicine and Surgery, February 14, 1862. In March following he commenced the practice of medicine in Cardington, O., where he continued until his death. He was a man of great force of character and unbending integrity; an earnest Christian gentleman, ready for every great work. He was unusually ardent and laborious in his profession, and reached a degree of practical knowledge and success rarely attained by one of his age. He held honorable places of office among his medical associates, and his death is mourned by all who knew him. His end was that of the good man.
Glendale Cemetery, Morrow County, Ohio

Former environment minister Peter Garrett has accepted "ultimate responsibility" for Labor's botched home insulation program but insists others should share the blame.
Four installers lost their lives under the Rudd government scheme in 2009 and 2010, and Mr Garrett told a royal commission on Tuesday that, although he visited a similar New Zealand scheme in 2007, he hadn't been briefed on fatalities there because his priority had been to speak about whaling.
The commission is investigating what advice Labor received and whether the deaths of Matthew Fuller, Rueben Barnes, Mitchell Sweeney and Marcus Wilson could have been avoided.
Mr Sweeney's brother, Justin, said Mr Garrett should have halted the program after the first death.
"One death is enough, not four," he said outside the Brisbane Magistrates Court.
The program was terminated on February 19, 2010.
In his statement to the inquiry, Mr Garrett said he was ultimately responsible for the scheme, although then senator Mark Arbib oversaw elements of the government's $42 billion stimulus package.
Mr Arbib has already told the inquiry his sole responsibility was to sell the program, while former prime minister Kevin Rudd is expected to defend his role on Wednesday afternoon.
"I was responsible for the rollout of the HIP (home insulation program) and bore ultimate responsibility for its implementation," Mr Garrett wrote.
But under cross-examination by counsel assisting Keith Wilson, Mr Garrett said everyone involved had responsibility to minimise risks.
"We share responsibilities with those other institutions that equally have them, such as state regulatory bodies, employers, ultimately employees as well."
Mr Garrett said risk was reduced through various measures, including a national register of installers and audit and compliance guidelines.
He said that while he acted on all safety advice he received, his trust in that advice waned after Mr Fuller became the first person to die under the scheme.
"Over time, I interrogated the advice more thoroughly and I did reach a point where I wasn't trustful of all of the advice that I received," he said.
Mr Fuller was electrocuted when he put a metal staple through an electrical cable while installing foil insulation on October 14, 2009.
Mr Garrett said he didn't immediately ban foil because he wanted to understand the full circumstances surrounding Mr Fuller's death, given the divergent views in the industry about the product.
He banned metal staples from the program on November 2, 2009.
Foil wasn't banned until February 9, 2010, five days after Mr Sweeney's death.
Mr Sweeney was also using metal staples to secure foil insulation when he was killed.
It was the same practice linked to the deaths of three New Zealand installers in 2007.
But Mr Garrett says he only became fully aware of those deaths "very recently".
"Actually, not until such time as the commission started examining this matter (in mid-March)," he said.
Mr Garrett said the New Zealand electrocutions were only briefly raised after Mr Fuller's death, but added he should have been told earlier.
Mr Garrett will resume his evidence on Wednesday.

Lifeguard John Clark Saves Boy, Is Hit With $2,600 Hospital Bill
AOL Jobs/AP -- A lifeguard from Vancouver, Wash., who rescued a 12-year-old in the surf at Rockaway Beach near Tillamook, Ore., was billed nearly $2,600.
Seventeen-year-old John Clark is a lifeguard this summer at a community center in Vancouver, but he was at the Oregon beach last month when he heard screams for help. He dived through breakers and heavy swells to keep the boy afloat until personal watercraft arrived and pulled them to shore.
"I don't know exactly how big the swells were," KOIN reports Clark as saying. "But they were big enough to push both of us underwater -- all the way down to where we were touching sand."
Both swimmers were pulled to shore by Jet Skis. Clark had a headache so he went with the boy in an ambulance to Tillamook General Hospital.

Clark thought the ambulance ride was standard procedure until several weeks later when a bill arrived: about $450 for the emergency room, $230 for the doctor bill and $1,900 for the 15-mile ambulance ride.
"I had a feeling there would be a bill," Clark said, adding that he didn't know how much it would be.
"I kind of feel bad for the fact that it's so expensive," he said. "But I couldn't just let the kid go -- I had to do something."
Last month, a lifeguard in Florida was fired after saving a man outside his coverage area. Tomas Lopez, 21, was offered his job back, but he declined, telling ABC News that the only reason he was offered his job back was because he took his story to the media.
"If I never said anything," Lopez said, "they never would have acted."

The Science of Thanks Giving
November 22nd, 2012 11:10 Leave a comment Go to comments
Hugh Pickens writes writes "This is Americans' big week to give thanks. Now Russell McLendon writes that giving thanks can do wonders for the human brain according to researchers at UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center where scientists have developed an easy way for people to do just that and, at the same time, contribute to a national research project and maybe also improve their lives. The project is part of a $5.6 million, three-year national effort called 'Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude,' funded by the John Templeton Foundation. The center has gone live with Thnx4.org, an interactive, shareable gratitude journal and has invited people in the campus community to take part in the Cal Gratitude Challenge by keeping a two-week online 'gratitude journal' and, if they choose, sharing their posts with others. Early research into the power of gratitude journals ended up proving that students who wrote down everything they were grateful for strengthened their overall resilience and became less vulnerable to everyday stresses and complaints like rashes and headaches, says Emiliana Simon-Thomas. 'Thnx4.org wanted to make this spiral notebook very accessible, and to make the research a little more specific than it has been historically,' says Simon-Thomas. Online, anyone can take part — and potentially reap the benefits. The Cal Gratitude Challenge opened November 1 and will remain open throughout November but the project has a three-year grant and participants will be able to maintain their journals for the duration and first results from the data are expected in January. 'We affirm that there are good things in the world, gifts and benefits we've received,' writes Robert Emmons as part of the project. 'This doesn't mean that life is perfect; it doesn't ignore complaints, burdens, and hassles. But when we look at life as a whole, gratitude encourages us to identify some amount of goodness in our life.'"

Sandy Hook shooting report finds gunman used magazines manufactured by Magpul
An ammunition magazine used by the gunman who killed 20-first graders at Sandy Hook elementary in Newtown, Conn., last December was made by the Colorado manufacturer Magpul, according to a detailed report unveiled on Monday.
Ballistic evidence from the 44-page report released by the Connecticut State Attorney's office notes the gunman, Adam Lanza, used "a total of twenty-four rounds of 5.56 mm ammunition found, of which ten rounds were in one PMAG 30 magazine, thirteen rounds were in another such magazine and one live round was on the floor. There was a third empty PMAG 30 magazine seized. There were a total of eighty expended 5.56 mm casings seized from classroom 8."
The PMAG 30 — a 30-round ammunition magazine — is manufactured and widely sold by Magpul. The Erie-based magazine manufacturer made headlines this past legislative session when it vowed to leave the state if lawmakers passed a measure limiting ammunition magazines to 15 rounds.
"Staying here would hurt our business," Doug Smith, Magpul's chief operating officer, said at the time.
Established in 1999, Magpul said it employs more than 200 people at its manufacturing and shipping headquarters.
Lawmakers eventually passed House Bill 1224, which places the limits on magazines, and the measure became law in July. However, Magpul still remains based in Colorado.
A request for comment from Smith was not immediately returned Monday.

BYU edges Nevada in 28-23 win
After a first half with zero points, five first downs and nine
penalties, BYU found its groove in the second half.
Taysom Hill threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as BYU
beat Nevada on Saturday, 28-23.
Hill led the second half charge for the Cougars (8-4), as he
completed 14 of 18 passes for 98 yards with two touchdowns and ran
for 154 yards and a score.
Hill had an 18-yard first down run with 1:42 left that sealed
the win in the regular season finale for both teams.
The Wolf Pack (4-8, 3-5 Mountain West) led by seven at halftime
and scored with 2:42 left in the game to shrink the deficit to
five, but failed on a 2-point try and BYU ran the clock out to win
BYU running back Jamaal Williams rushed for 219 yards with a
66-yard touchdown 32 seconds into the second quarter. He had 188
rushing yards in the second half alone.
The BYU defense had an interception in the end zone by Robertson
Daniel and blocked a field goal that helped spur the win.
But the win didn't come easily.
BYU had 14 penalties for 142 yards compared to Nevada's four.
The Cougars were flagged when a defender tried to jump over a
Nevada lineman to block a punt, which gave Nevada a first down, and
in the second half were flagged for a late hit that negated an
interception in the Nevada red zone.
Wolf Pack quarterback Cody Fajardo completed 23 of 33 passes for
259 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Brandon Wimberly caught 10
passes for 117 yards and a touchdown.
BYU will play a yet to be named opponent in the Kraft Fight
Hunger Bowl on Dec. 27.
The Wolf Pack will not play a postseason game for the first time
since 2004.

MONTREAL - The European influence has been evident from new coach Marco Schallibaum at the Montreal Impact training camp.
The veteran coach and former defender from Switzerland has brought his own set of drills and ideas to the Major League Soccer club, said midfielder Patrice Bernier.
"It's been more like what I'm accustomed to in Europe," said Bernier, who played nine seasons across the Atlantic before returning to his hometown to join the Impact last season. "It's the way of thinking, especially playing quick, two-touch, and being available for each other.
"We also had a lot of running, but it's in function of what we do on the field, with short bursts and then some recuperation. We're working on the foundation we want to build for the whole season."
The drills are fast-paced, with quick exchanges of the ball. In one practice, the field was reduced to about 35 yards to work on making decisions in tight traffic.
He said he even invited a basketball coach in one day to have the players shoot some hoops and drive home the idea of defending without taking fouls.
"I like to do different things," said Schallibaum, who was impressed with the basketball skills of some of his players, notably fullback Jeb Brovsky.
"The main thing is to put in his ideas," added Bernier. "The coach doesn't know everybody.
"He's showing what he expects and, day to day, we're working on that."
The first days of camp on an indoor pitch at Marie Victorin College have focused on conditioning and sharpening reflexes and skills.
Installing a system of play and sorting out players' roles on the team will come when they leave Feb. 7 for an 18-day trip to Orlando, Fla., for the Disney Soccer Classic pre-season tournament.
Schallibaum hasn't worked out yet what formation the team will use. He also hasn't decided whether he will have one forward — like much of last year — or two.
"I have my ideas, but we're still getting the team ready," he said. "Ill give you that information when it's time.
"You have to go step by step. We'll go into another phase in Orlando when we start playing games."
European coaches do not have a history of success in MLS, but the Impact are unique in having a core of Italian league players and others with European experience who favour a creative, ball-control game.
And with their top stars in their mid-30s, like Bernier, Alessandro Nesta and Marco Di Vaio, the second-year MLS club wants to contend for a championship now.
Montreal will open the regular season March 2 in Seattle.
Bernier likes the team's chances, but wasn't about to predict a championship just yet. The Impact were seventh in the Eastern Conference and out of the playoffs last year under American Jesse Marsch.
"You don't know if you're going to have this (same) personnel in a year," he said. "You've got guys that might not be here next year. High-profile players.
"When you look at that, you want to maximize team potential. From what we offered at the end of last year, you tell yourself that in the home games, we can be a very good team in this league. But there are things that can be better, like playing away and allowing goals from set pieces.
"If you look at our personnel, you can say we can put more emphasis on being, I can't say the top team, but a successful team in a high position that can qualify for the playoffs."
The Impact went 10-4-3 at home last season, with big wins over some top clubs. But they were 2-12-3 on the road, where they wasted points regularly by allowing late goals, especially off set pieces like free kicks, corners and in one case, a throw-in.
Bernier said improving defence on set pieces will be key.
"In Europe, you're used to having one or two good teams on set pieces, but here it's more than half the teams," he said. "It's one of the little things we didn't do well."
He said MLS teams tend to have bigger, more athletic players at forward and in the central defence that are good at getting their heads on high balls.
"And you look at other North American sports, basketball mainly, and maybe people have better physical athletic ability in the air than other places," he said. "That's my opinion."
It will help that Montreal will have its team together from the start of camp after the mid-season changes that marked its expansion season.
There are still roster spots open, and team president Joey Saputo hinted last week that a new player from South America was on the way. Most of last year's team is back, with Italian midfielder Andrea Pisanu the notable newcomer.
Midfielder Davy Arnaud said the club is ready to battle the top teams.
"We showed last year we can do that," he said. "As players, we're not interested in just scraping by and getting into the playoffs.
"We showed we can play with the best teams in the league. Now have to do it consistently and find a way very early to understand what makes us good and what gets us wins and do it week in, week out."

trike necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Our need is to create a flash based introduction that presents six text based marketing messages in a way that doesn't suck. We'll do the Flash, we just need a great design idea because our brains are now mush. This is a deceptively simple project. A cool challenge and a way to get some experience with 99 designs.
This text-based screen appears at the beginning of an interactive presentation and sets up the tone and need for the product. This is a tool for people in the medical field. The important information is really the numbers (which you will see in the text below) and we would like those to be highlighted somehow (size color. etc.).
The six test messages have to appear onscreen together and cannot take long to build, so in a way it is like a print piece but you can add some interest with a fast build, fade in, etc.
This intro will play until the user presses a continue button. The concept of "press to continue" should be designed into the piece.
Technical Requirements:
- The stage area is 800x600 pixels
- The rest of the program uses Helvetica Nueue and #18488C so this screen needs to coordinate or compliment that
- The background color for the rest of the piece is whiteThese the 6 text marketing messages we need designed (the names have been changed to protect the innocent):
Product is the only product of its kind with a federal approval for hospital use in fighting infections, shortening the length of hospital stay, and reducing the need for other measures that can lead to long term complications that delay healing and increase the cost of treatment.
Product is referenced in numerous publications including 25 controlled randomized trials.
Competitive products have not been studied in any controlled randomized trials
Product had been reviewed and included in the ABCD, IEFGH, IJK, LMNO and Point Commission compendium of strategies to reduce PQRST's
Product is currently used in over 9000 hospitals and health care facilities
In the last three years over 800 new hospitals and health care facilities have implemented the use of Product
- Cool, clean design that will be appropriate for the medical industry
- A fresh design approach to including all of this text on screen other than just multiple lines
- This screen will build quickly (under 5 sec) so a storyboard describing this build or ways to highlight text after the build will give your design an advantage
- The font and colors should coordinate with Helvetica Nueue and #18488C
- The shape of the product is a simple circle...keep that in mind if it helps...not that important...just sayin
- Final deliverable is either an illustrator file or flash file with PDF "proof"
- Remember this is text only
- bullets
- clutter
- crazy, freaky fonts

Perhaps some of you are familiar with a little book called "How to Make Friends and Influence People with the Help of Candy". I am, because I wrote it. And Rule #1? Always carry around an ample supply of little candies. Sure, oversized candy makes a statement. But it's the little candies that really get the party started. Hand out a few helpings of Rock Candy Crystals, and pretty soon everyone's asking for more. Let a pile of Mini Tootsie Pops stick out from your pocket and smile politely as the other guests hint that they'd like one. Tell everyone that you have over a pound of tiny pastel candy hearts at your house, and suddenly you're hosting the after-party. Bottom line: bring Little Candies onto the scene, and suddenly you are the scene.

About Larry Keahey
My love for photography began when I was very young; as the photo shows me reaching for dad's new Leica camera. My 1st camera a Kodak, was given to me by my father back before grade school. The camera even had film in it. The only thing I remember about this camera was that you viewed through the top. Dad was a professional photographer most of his life. So you might say that I have inherited my father's eye to see the beauty of this world. I want to dedicate this page to my best friend, who is also my wonderful wife, Phyllis. She's been my camera crew for over 43 years and counting. Please enjoy the pictures and your comments are very welcome. Comments are how all of us on FAA know if what we offer as art is enjoyed by others....
